This book is full of beautiful pictures and an interesting story of how author Diane Ackerman got to "meet" some monk seals. She was fortunate enough to be able to tag some seals for protection and research and describes the experience in detail. Recommend this book for your young aspiring marine biologists and animal lovers of all ages.

Great, great, great!

Great book by a great author on the greatest personality of the human history

This volume provides clear and concise information on nutrition taylored to the need of the U.S. Navy SEAL operators and is as such equally valuable to all military personel. Although much of the material covered can be found elsewhere, this book cuts to the core and deliveres the information in context of the various missions undertaken by SEAL's and SEAL trainees, garnished with results from research conducted by the U.S. Navy specific to SEAL's and their operational environment.

Written in a workbook format, it provides tables and work-through examples to let you easily determine your own diatery needs. The book also covers the contents and nutritional value of the different military rations (MRE, LRRP etc.) and their usefullness for various missions and climatic conditions. A chapter on healthy eating in (fast food)restaurants and on eating for post-mission recovery adds to it's usefullness outside of field missions.

This is really a one-stop source for the military community. A very easy read and highly recommended!

Collon's book provides an excellent overview of Near Eastern Seals. A useful chronology for both stamp and cylinder seals is provided, as well as information on materials, designs, and stone-cutting techniques. The majority of the photographs and text focus on cylinder seals, but a few stamp seals are also included.

A totally new wiew about the roots of Croatians. Lot, lot of facts and information.

WOW! This is truly an inspired journey into the most enigmatic book in the Bible! "Opening the Seven Seals of Revelation: The Methodology of Decrypting Hidden Messages in the Bible" may be the most remarkable REVELATION about our EArthly human existence since learning the EArth is not flat. The evidence provides startling eye opening revelations every human being must consider with the now undeniable return of NASA's planet 'X' and the Vatican's 2000 meeting with Zachariah Sitchin. The mathematical, analytical, and logical methodology employed by the author for decrypting these hidden messages are profound, yet simple. An inside look into the writings of John the Beloved and the prophetic language of the Gods, this book is a definite culture shock for everyone who thought those old Bible stories were a bunch of myths, and vampires really don't exist. I will read this again and again and recommend this historic reference to every church, university, library, and family seeking a deeper understanding into the symbolic language of the Bible, the book of Revelation, and the universe around us. The greatest trick the devil ever pulled, was convincing us he does not exist! You really should read this book.

As a person who has led campaigns against the Canadian Sealing industry for 25 years, I can vouch for the accuracy of the events portrayed in this book. Mickey Dwyer is a sealer and no friend of mine but what he writes in this book speaks more to the issues of cruelty and waste than anything that I or any other opponent could write. We would be called liars for stating what Dwyer proudly confesses to in this book. It is a worthwhile book and deserves a place in the history of the bloody Canadian seal hunt.

As one of the people this book features, I am proud to have been a part of the team that rescued and rehabilitated 5 harbor seals in the 1970's at the California Marine Mammal Center in Marin, California. One baby seal in particular, named "Pearson" was a determined premature "white coat" or preemie, who struggled to grow and learn how to survive in the wild. Our team of volunteers worked tiredlessly for months, night and day to guarrantee that these 5 seals would make it back into the wild. Their story of how they were rehabilitated and the magic it brought to each of our lives is told in this wonderful book. Look on the back cover for a picture of Pearson and me. With much pride, Margie Comstock - California Marine Mammal Center Volunteer from 1975 to 1979
