Here is a book that will help you become a vegetarian and support you in doing so. Mr. Boyd lives the life truly and thoroughly and tells us why in a heartfelt manner. This isn't just about not eating animals, it's about our future!

Very informative and easy to read. Eye-opening without being overly technical. This book convinced me to adopt a vegan lifestyle.

I got the book from Amazon.com and it was indeed true to the editorial write up. However I must add that this is a book strictly for the avid freshwater sting ray aquarist. A problem with freshwater stingray is their many "morphs" within the same species and this book has a really comprehensive pictorial of the many "morphs" within the same species. Now I can identify the thirteen freshwater stingrays in my care with certainty. Note that this is not a book on care nor setup of aquariums for frewater rays. It is more a identification and writeup of the characteristics of the many freshwater rays. Strictly for the advanced aquarists specializing in freshwater rays only and hence fully worth the price and the 6 weeks wait I had.

While still new to caring for freshwater rays, a friend loaned me a copy of this book, and it quickly became my bible! With many color photos and illustrations, including a dissection photo, this book is a great reference tool for identifying and sexing rays. For those looking to keep rays as pets, the book covers the basic requirements for keeping rays, including tank size, subsrate, and water conditions. The book is also full of helpful words from the author's own experience of keeping freshwater rays, and can help you avoid common problems, diseases, etc. For those who do not plan to keep rays as pets, this book is worth a look simply for its wealth of information on one of the less known types of freshwater aquatic life. An interesting, informative, and essential book for any aquarist!

This is a great book on the history of quantum mechanics. I highly reccomend it. Unfortunately the book is out of print and one needs to hunt down a used book.

It begins with the discovery of X-rays in 1895 and ends with events around the early 70's. It is interesting how the technological advances of today have come about after a sudden chain of discoverires starting with just 2 discoveries that acted as sparks: xrays and radioactivity (both of which thanks to some photpgraphic film that developed without the intention of the scientist). The chronological developments are nicely intertwined.

I enjoyed how the author has written of the rigorous development of quantrum mechanics from 3 different viewpoints of schrodinger, heisenberg and dirac and how they later proved that all 3 were the same. There are great photographs of the scientists of the time also. Overall very well written with lots of stories about the featured scientists. Can finish the book in one day, it was that incaptivating (to serve as a reference, am a chemistry student).

Segre's style on physics is straight forward and non-intimidating. But what make this book is his stories. Emilio met and worked with many of these men. He describes their personalities attitudes and politics, and they come alive in his book. This is history the way it ought to be taught. Squisito! Bravo! Bravisimo!

I loved this book! The storyline was unique in a way that it really involved you with the characters feelings. Angie, placed an age old history to make you believe what you were reading was possible and could happen. This book deserved the award it received. Please try and read it, definitely a keeper.

This is the fourth of Angie Ray's books that I have read and each one gets better and better. Wonderful characters, witty dialogue and a story that I wished would go on and on

The book discusses the lives and struggles of the women artists at the Glasgow School of Art around the 1920s. The actual show of their work was exhibited at the Glasgow Art Museum and has been preserved in this book. It was a superb show and the book has captured the wonderful artwork of these unique artists for us to view. I cannot tell you how many times I have read it. My regret is that there are too few books like this. I thank the author for her time and effort to bring this gem to light.

Thank you, Jude, for collecting these writings and illustrations of the works of the Glasgow Girls! I was introduced to Francis and Margaret MacDonald during the Charles Rennie MacKintosh exhibit at Chicago's Art Institute.

Since the Art Institute will not do an exhibit on these gals, I only have this book. Just wonderful. I wish there were even more illustrations. I love this stuff - more than the work of the Glasgow Guys.

Being in the military myself I have had the opportunity to work with John Gaps recently while deployed to Kosovo. His pictures grab you and show you the shocking truth about what is real. This book is a must read for all future War Correspondents.

John Gaps III is a combat photographer for Associated Press. Wounded three times, he clearly gets close to the action. It shows in this book.

Although some of the love letters become repetitive, this book captures better than anything the true nature of the destroyer war in the Pacific against Japan. The commentary gets to the point of the hard work and anonymous sacrifice of the common enlisted man in the desperate fight against Japan. The final letter written by Yeoman Raines, and delivered to his wife after his death, is one of the most wrenching and moving literary expressions to come from this war.

Orvill Raines was my friend. We were together from the time the ship was commissioned 4/3/44 until he died on April 6, 1945 at Okinawa. Ray Ellen (his wife) kept these letters and when I first contacted her in 1990 she mentioned them to me and offered them to the HOWORTH VETS. We published them at our own expense. Williams McBride took the War Diary AND Letters/Memories and completed the manuscript that became Good Night Officially. After our Memorial Service aboard the USS Kidd in Baton Rouge, I escorted her around the ship and was able to answer all the questions that she had, had down thru the years. It made it possible. It made it worth while

The gothic world of Annne Rice is an absolute must have for both fan of the gothic, vampirism or scholar. The anthology is A direct rout into the marvellous world behind the authour.

What makes this gardening book stand out is the author's writing style that reads as if she is in the room talking to you.

Although I have dozens of gardening books, "Growing Great Vegetable in the Heartland" would rate in my Top Three. Not only for the content of topics, but also her easy to read delivery, the many additional hint's, ideas and beautiful pictures.

Well worth the cover price, my gardening friends will be getting this from me for Christmas!

If you garden in the heartland, this book should be your gardening bible.

Trust me, this type of knowledge is something that is only gained by years of experience. If you want to save yourself from all the trouble of gardening by trial and error, this book is the answer to your prayers. One of the most comprehensive guides you'll ever find. Enjoy!
