Scholarly
Subjects are thoroughly covered and the information is written in an friendly and interesting manner. If you have a question about the Sonoran Desert, you will most likely find the answer here. Among other surprises, this book offered my first look at the "creeping devil cactus" - how interesting! I'd never even heard of it before. "A Natural History of the Sonoran Desert" is a book you will turn to for detailed information that can be trusted as well as entertainment. Very nice photographs and illustrations. A great book for a nature lover, even if the Sonoran Desert holds no particular interest to them.
Armchair nature watching
This is the ideal book to take along on trips to the Sonora Desert. Whether it is the Cailfornian , including Baja, Arizonian(it actually covers five states) or Mexican portions of the vast and diverse Sonara Desert, the details and complexities of this eco system are truly amazing. This book is an indespensible guide to all facets of this immense gift, including the many plants and animals that inhabit this harsh yet bountiful environment. It is a book to read before, as well as after the trips to the desert. Since it is so diverse and vast , covering some 100, 000 sq.mi., the amount of information given is quite a bit but done in such a mannner that one can easily navigate the text to the desired area of interest Inevitably one will stray into an area of new found interest. The little known facts are a lay persons path to knowledge about what the heck they just saw or are about to see. The black and white illustrations for the plants and animals you will or did encounter are excellent and extremely helpful for identification. There is a section with color photographs as well to further illustrate the beauty of the Sonora Desert. With contributions by some thirty five different experts in their pespective field this book is the ultimate guide. Do not hesitate to buy this book if you are visting the Sonora Desert as it will prove to be a valuble reference tool that can be used over and over. Since there is so much to learn about the Sonora Desert and it's inhabitants, this book can be read anytime, anywhere since it is nearly impossible to experience it all. Recommended for the tourist, naturalist or anyone interested in learning more about the 2000 species of plants, 550 species of verbrates and thousands of unknown invertebrate species who make the Sonora Desert home. This is truly fascinating material that only nature can provide so don't hesitate to purchase this book.

There should be more books like this!
This is a well needed reference. It's rather small, about the size of a large pamphlet, but it's got an amazing amount of information packed into it. There aren't enough books out there describing this form of cancer. This one is very well written and I would recommend it for anyone diagnosed with ovarian cancer or anyone who knows and loves someone with ovarian cancer. It answers all the questions you might have and takes a serious look at the myths out there. It's very informative and easy to understand.

The Beat Generation in various forms
This catalogue has excellent photographs that gives one a sense of the attitude of the Beat Generation. Everyone is familiar with the writers of the period, but not everyone knows about art generated during those years. This catalogue gives a review of art, film, and writing being created at the time. Not only that but it devotes a chapter to women and a chapter to minorites working during the time period. A good source of information for anyone interested in the 1950's to the early 1960's.

Good book of 3DS4 !!!
I start learning 3DS4 using this book and I found it very easy to understand. Anybody who want to learn 3DS should buy it.
Great book for all skill levels
This book is outstanding to learn and to enhance one's knowledge of 3DS4. It is fun to read, and is really quite a page-turner! It is structured so that it holds your attention - i.e. it doesn't linger for 50 pages on one topic and mention another in passing.
It starts with the basics and moves logically to advanced topics, all while using easy-to-follow tutorials. The CDROM comes with some nice textures that are good for making your own scenes.
Plus, in an appendix, it reviews most of the popular IPAS plugins for 3D Studio R4. This reference is useful to determine what software to spend your money on.
I would recommend this book to EVERYONE learning 3ds4!
The 3D Studio r4 book
This is the best book of 3D Studio r4, in a couple of weeks you can learn almost everithing, starting with modeling, texturing, animating and scripting.

Rich in fetal termination technique
Powerful instruction in how to kill unborn children in 'collateral damage' language. The language is terse but succinct enough to focus on the procedure rather than the ethics. A concise textual reference in 'termination' of the unborn.
Fantastic for students and physicians
This text provides a thorough overview of social and medical aspects of abortion, written at a level appropriate for physicians and medical students/residents. It is a comprehensive and well-written introduction to abortion practices and techniques and a great reference.
The definitive modern reference to abortion practice.
This book fills an important gap in medical literature. It is a comprehensive review of modern abortion care. It is an essential book for every medical library and for every abortion provider.
