If you are serious about bass fishing, this is a must have for your library. Bill knows what he is talking about. His explinations make sense and ring true. Does not rehash the same old cliches of other outdoor writers because he knows it and does it. Bill is a master at what he does and this book will make you a better fisherman if you pay even half attention to what he has to offer.

Bill Murphy is the king of trophy bass fishing. I learned more about the art of trophy bass fishing from this book in one night than I had learned in 15 years of fanatical bass fishing.

Murphy is the big bass stud, but Prorok is one heck of a fisherman himself. You're getting a trophy hunter's tactics expanded by a true student and aficionado.

This book will keep kids intrested for houres! It has pages of hands on activities. The book has tons of very intertaning activities. The book makes learning fun. The book comes with 3d glasses and a Zap Pack that when you snap a butten the pack goes from liquid to solid and heats up. This book is a great learning took that is a great buy for houres of entertainment!

This book is way cool! It has 3D paages including 3D glasses, some sort of pack that changes from boiling hot to freezing cold, a hundred of info, some illusions... It's like my own Science Museum !

Zap! Science is a great hands-on book. With many expirements, this book makes science fun.

"The Color of Nature" is a very good book. The photography is wonderful, and there is nice text to go along with it.

Paul Dogerty makes learning the "whys" and "hows" of colors fun. He presents the scientific principles of how we see what we see in an easy-to-grasp manner that is both interesting and comprehensible. In addition, the photographs that accompany the text, which alone are worth the price of the book, serve to admirably highlight the processes Dogerty seeks verbally to illustrate. Together, art and words combine to emphasize the wonder and beauty of the world in which we live

Two very good friends of mine bought me this book last November and I can't get tired of it at all!

The book is systematically grouped into categories such as Desert landscapes, ancient landscapes etc which necessarily makes it an easy read for a light reader or those who love pictures.

Most of the pictures depict natural features in the U.S.A. and some from Canada and islands in the Indian Ocean. Even though many, such as the Delicate Arch, are very well-photographed, the lively colors seem to want you to pay attention to the pictures again. For example, Delicate Arch was taken with a backdrop of a brewing thunderstorm. Due to the presence of other comparable features behind or near the main focus, one will be kept intrigued, truly appreciating the sheer size of each of the features and marveling at the wonderful hand of God.

The captions are informative, and I would say, rather detailed - so much so they can pass for simple Geographic text. Some even add a sense of humor, describing huge corestones on the Bowling Balls Beach to have "roll[ed] over to join its companion".

My only complaint is that there are too few photos. There should be more on Grand Canyon, and other beautiful features not covered such as Big Horn Canyon, Gates of the Mountains, Yosemite Falls, Crater Lake, Shoshone in Wyoming and Niagara Falls, whose histories can be equally alluring.

The Earth has many lessons to teach us. These lessons are written on the ground at your feet, on the mountains across the river from my house, in the rocks of a riverbed, in the trees all around us. Once you learn to read them, you'll see them everywhere.

This inspired collaboration between Photographer William Neill and the Staff of San Francisco's acclaimed science museum, the Exploratorium, Traces of Time, beautifully illustrates the effects of time on our natural surroundings.

The Exploratorium was the one place in the Bay Area where I could take my chickadees for an entire day & know we would all be learning things that were both strange & curious about everyday objects & events. It is the only hands-on museum where you never hear a discouraging word & are invited to play. There are now over 650 exhibits which people can investigate with impunity.

This is a gloriously illustrated, thoughtfully written introduction to how the passing of time can be seen in the moment - rushing rivers captured in the camera's lens & over the eons - geology explained.

Traces of Time will make an excellent gift that will keep on giving. For my full review do check out: [my website].

Anyone working in the logistics and delivery field must read this book and keep it in your library. The book is all-inclusive so you don't need lots of others. This may help justify the high price.

I've lived in the beautiful state of Florida for 36 years and this book is one of the best tour guides I've seen for people who love to drive as much as I do. While perusing this publication, I have found several places that even I haven't visited yet. There are 25 separate driving tours (recommended driving times of one to three days) mapped out for you to enjoy. Each trip/map is accompanied by descriptions and color photographs of the best attractions to visit along the suggested routes. So, grab a copy, jump in your car, and have a great time whether you are with family, with friends, or going solo. And remember, please drive safely and enjoy this great state.

This guidebook by the Lonely Planet was an excellent companion on my recent trip to India. The information was up-to-date and informative, yet never too wordy or boring. The "text-box" inserts were very entertaining while at the same time useful.

This guide is perfect for those traveling on a budget or those who want to take a "first-class" trip across northern India.

The maps in the book are very useful, as is the information about how not to get ripped off as a tourist. Highly recommended to everyone (of Indian origin or not) if you are contemplating a trip to India.

Murphy the Rat was a scream! This is the kind of kid's book I love - gross, macabre - the kind of book that insures my little nieces and nephews won't come out boring adults. I haven't laughed this much since I read Gorey's alphabet of children's demises or his "Fateful Party" pop-up book.

Erickson and Murphy's book has become the new standard text in theoretical readings in anthropology. It surpasses the others in its treatment of more current theories, and its length (it includes many more articles). I can only think of two drawbacks to the book: 1) no footnotes, which are helpful in this type of book, and 2) it is rather pricey. However, if you want the best collection currently available, you should get it.

hey people, don't want to seem like a pedant but you've mixed up the author's name and the publisher's - ie Rotovision is the publisher while Paul Murphy is the author. How do i know this? I wrote the book.

Cheers

what do Tomato think when they do a project? How does Paula Scher work? What about AMX Digital or Aboud Sodano who do ALL of Paul Smith's graphic design work. This book has got them all plus attik, April Greiman, VSA, scott makela etc.

The style is accessible and readable while following the development process in lots of detail.

As a working design professional i'm always disappointed by so many of the garish coffee table books that purport to be about graphic design but in reality are an embaressment. This book scores highly on several points: *a great range of contributors from Pentagram to Tomato *well written with lots of interviews with the designers *well chosen projects examined in depth and detail

This book also realises that great design isn't about the latest PhotoShop tricks but about real thought and creativity.
