Great Introduction To Living With Animals For Kids
I read this book before giving it to my 10 year old niece for Christmas. I thought the book was fabulous, talking about how animals communicate with us and how to understand their behaviors. The author explains the value and mechanics of developing richer relationships with animals in ways that kids can understand. The author's attitude is open and trusting with animals, and is exactly the kind of attitude I wanted to foster within my budding vet-to-be-niece.

Useless blather?
I read 2 chapters of this silly book, thinking it might contain something about black holes. Maybe there is something about black holes later, but I got turned off real quick by the silly, useless, confusing, pointless, and whatever other adjective I can come up with to descibe the material in the first chapter. The first chapter almost made me stop there, but I thought that I would read at least one more..yuck

Not recommended

an alright book
I picked up this book at the library where it was marked for destruction. The one I have is from the 70's, and the cover matches the sillines described above. A giant question mark encircles the title, with the caption "the end of the world?!?!" beneath, all against an orange backround. The book, the first and last few chapters beside, is actually mainly about black holes. I know very little about black holes, but I'm sure it is probably out of date by now, however, that did not make it unenjoyable to read, and it was full of things about the universe which tend to fill you with awe, such as speculations about its origin and fate. Yet, I certainly have to agree with the above review: many ideas presented in the begining and end of the book seem to not make sense, such as the author's belief that there were people who really did live to be 900 years old (as claimed by the bible), and also, it seems far less likely to me than it does to him that advanced alien civilizations have anything to do with humanity's history and development. Near the end of the book, he also writes as though notions of the "soul" and mind being apart from matter actually have validity. Even with my thoughts differing from the author's, and it most likely being somewhat outdated, it was still enjoyable to read. Also, there isn't any mathematics presented, which is good for a person like myself.
