Relates apathy in the church of Christ to story of his young son learning to watch a baseball game only by looking at the scoreboard (which the boy was so proud he'd just learned) without paying any attention to all the action on the field.

Thus, out of stands and into the game, Christians. Good work on letting Jesus use each and every believer as a witness to their friends, relatives and acquaintances in our lifepaths.

Great advice on focusing on salvation and not letting our witness get sidetracked and off-course with other doctrines initially with unbelievers.

Liked his last chapter "on helping rookies," the much needed talk about integrated new believers into the life of the church and congregation.

This pocket guide contains photos and descriptions of virtually all of the endemic birds of the West Indies. It also covers introduced species and water birds of the Caribbean. It is an exceptionally usuable pocket guide for the birder to take along on a cruise or holiday to the islands.

is it getting hot in here or is it just me? that's right baby i'm nasty! NASTY! this book is like, "this is so wrong....but it feels so RIGHT!" yeah i'm dirty like that. i read this book and i was like, "huh?". mainly because i thought i had bought "Are You There God? It's Me Margret". Yeah like halfway into it the reservoir doesn't get her period then i look at the cover and i'm like "uh oh!" still this book got it all. it got a cover, pages, and words. and things too. if you like books check this one out. BAM!

Tells about the summer that the author, his wife, and his Labrador Retriever spent as volunteers for the US Forest Service in Minnesota. They lived in a cabin by the water and spent much time exploring the area by canoe.

This book is a translation from the German. I assume the author was working from technical papers written for/by the Wehrmacht, as a couple of these pages are reproduced in the text. A good overview of Soviet field artillery. Photos of many of these guns are hard to come by. Readers looking for more comprehensive coverage of Soviet artillery should investigate the work of Ian V. Hogg. A good value for the money.

This book is a great way to avoid your child feeling as though they have fallen behind or forgotten everything at the beginning of a new school year. My son has attention deficit disorder, and needed something over the summer to keep his skills and knowledge fresh. Other workbooks we have tried over summer breaks have been too overwhelming for him, but this seems to be a perfect fit. He is actually excited about working on this book over this summer. The only negative thing I would say is in comparison to "Summer Bridge" books for younger children, which to me are organized a little more logically. In those books, the child works through each page sequentially (Day 1 has a couple pages on each of the topics of math, spelling, etc.), while this book has you skip around a little more between each subject area. I really feel my son will be better equipped when the new school year starts, and not have so much catching up to do.

A very good illustrated book, plenty of informations about all the signs you could find in a wood, a beach, a street.. Just open the book and you'll be able to find out which species of bird flown on your garden, which one eat your loved flowers... Very nice and veru useful!

Michael Jensen has provided foresters, agronomists, sociologists, economists, ecologists, students and anyone interested in the botany of Southeast Asia with an invaluable guide. And there can be no doubt that this guide is much needed: previously there had been no easily found guide in print for the identification of the cultivated trees of Southeast Asia. The color plates in the book include close-up renderings of bark, leaves, and fruit, as well as pictures of the whole trees in juxtaposition with people or animals to give a sense of the plant's size. Jensen has also included easy to read maps that show the trees' distribution throughout Southeast Asia. The guide's only fault (if one would call it that) is that its scope is limited to cultivated trees. Jensen intended the guide to be used to increase cultivation of these plants, and so had no intention of trying to put together a comprehensive guide to all the trees and plants of Southeast Asia, which would be a momentous task indeed, but one that is desperately needed nonetheless. Perhaps, if we're lucky, a complete field guide to Southeast Asia will be Orchid Press and Mr. Jensen's next endeavor.

I found this book very useful when selecting trees for landscaping. The sketches were useful in identification.
