Robert Dunn leaves other science fiction writers in the dust with this first novel. What sets this apart from the ho-hum galactic jargon of usual sci-fi is that this thriller is truly character driven. The reader really wants to know what is happening to the people, on an emotional level, not just what death ray or explosion will occur next. This is done by Dunn's creation of a world, which is fantasy, but in some ways plausible. On that platform the reader is taken on a journey by the author that keeps you turning the page and finally hoping there is a sequel to find out what happens to our gallant space heroes.

A fasinating book, I read it while doing Arbotech 3x marco's.

Has some excelent drawings and a key for elms of China.

Goes over some of the genetic research in the genus and how some species are probibly realy old clones that have moved with man. How many european morfilogicaly disimilar but geneticaly fall in the same ranges.

Toches on Elm Yellows.

The history of DED, how the vectors move it and how this must have been a relitively recent phenomena.

the history of DED treatment and a brief comparison of Arbotech and Alamo.

It is nice to see a book dealing with the tough issues of the day with respect to the new testament and modern scholarship. There are so few authors who are tackling the issues (did the resurrection occur? Was Jesus God? Why do the gospels differ in their accounts? Why do christians disagree on so many points?) that I was surprised to find one that did. I would recommend this book for anyone who struggles with some of these issues and would like to see a thoughtful response. I was so impressed with Professor's Dunn's book, I purchased another, Jesus, Paul, and the Law.

This book is a valuable reference tool for children in their early teens, whether for a report or simply for knowledge. It is a comprehensive research effort by both authors to inform the reader about accomplished Mexican Americans, their culture and careers. In addition, this book has special touches, such as personal photos of the featured people. I definately recommend this book!

My son has read this and the first three books. He reads them at recess at school instead of going outside because they are so good. Danny is his favorite character. His favorite part of the book is when the team makes their first goal. He can't wait to get the next in the series.

A wonderful multidisciplinary approach which shows that Dance can be political and literary, in addition to being physical and visual. Engages the reader to consider dance and choreography in a new way -- including that there need not be an edge to the stage, i.e. that the stage can be the world so that the performance can even be the self of the "viewer."

Frans Lanting and Christine Eckstrom, along with the National Geographic Society, are to be heartily congratulated for putting together such a splendid book on the most intriguing wild places on the planet. What a gorgeous book.

With truly spectacular photographs and informative text they explore the misty rain forests of Borneo, home to thousands of species still new to science, domain of the orangutan, the rarely seen rhino, the secretive tarsier, flying frogs and flying snakes, and on Mount Kinabalu, the massive cloud-wreathed peak that dominates northern Borneo, over 3,000 orchid species, a full 10 percent of the world's total. Next they explore frigid and storm-ravaged South Georgia, "one of a scattering of small islands that ring Antarctica like the moons of an icy planet." Here the two show us raucous penguin colonies, thousands of seals, graceful albatrosses, terns, petrels, and more that call this island at the end of the earth home. Then it is on to Hawaii, "the farthest paradise." Born of fiery volcanoes, they are home to unqiue flora such as the 'ama'u fern, first to colonize after lava flows have cooled, and the magnificent silverswords, which breed at ten or fifteen years of age in breathtaking blossoms, and then perish. The animal life is no less impressive here, with thousands of endemic land snails, breathtaking birds such as the brilliant 'i'iwi or the wide-ranging blue-faced booby, and marine creatures such as the Hawaiian monk seal and the green sea turtle. Next they whisk you to Madagascar, a lost world that preserves some of the life from the days of the ancient supercontinent of Gondwana, present during the time of the dinosaurs. This giant island, as this book shows, is home to scores of lemurs (including the playful ringtail and the nocturnal aye-aye), chameleons, bizarre baobab species, geckos, and more, all of which developed in isolation from the rest of the world. The last stop is Okavango, an African widlife paradise in the form of an inland delta and associated wetlands, all in the midst of the harsh Kalahari Desert. Here one can find the largest elephant herd on the planet as well as hippos, lechwes (a type of marsh-dwelling antelope), storks, crocodiles, frogs, flamingos, lions, and other manner of creature great and small.

The greatest thing about the book is obviously the photographs, but the accompanying text is wortwhile too. The text addresses issue of conservation, and provide many interesting facts and information. For instance the section on Madagascar discusses some of the fascinating extinct megafauna (such as elephant birds and giant lemurs) that once existed there.

A great book, a must for any nature lover or anyone who loves exotic destinations.

I was a little hesitant to pay a bit more to get a copy of this out-of-print romance, but it was worth it. The heroine, Mimi, is half Indian(her grandfather is a rajah). She is unique and it is entertaining to follow her through her escapades as she tries to find a suitor for her friend Harriet, the vicar's daughter. Everyone is after Mimi for her dowry, so isn't looking at Harriet. The hero is also similarly plagued--he is a lord, and heir to wealth, but has had his heart broken by a fortune-hunter, and is unappreciated by his family. So, the lord goes in disguise, and it takes a kiss from "Princess" Mimi to set him free from his spell. The secondary romance between Harriet and her eventually successful suitor(won't spoil it by letting you know who it is!) adds a nice touch and it is like getting two romances for the price of one. Highly recommended!

Fundamentals of Legal Research is one of those gems of books on subjects that can be rather technical. It is clear and basic enough to be of real use to the novice, and comprehensive enough to serve as a good review for even the veteran legal researcher. The book describes sources of the law, case reporters, digests, and legal encyclopedias and provides the reader with the basics steps for doing legal research, along with tips on doing research in the areas of English law, federal taxes, international law, etc. It also provides aids on computer-assisted research, legal citations, Shephard's, and other services. It is well-written and easy to understand but does not talk down (or "up") to the reader.

Everything appears to be here, form Dallas to Wheaton in Supreme Court reports through the modern reporters. If you want to research a legal case, administrative law, legislative histories, or court rules and procedures, the tools and sources for doing so are here. Foundations of Legal Research is a good addition to both the layman's and the lawyer's libraries. It is a pleasant tour and investigation of what can be a dry subject, with enough information and resources to enable the reader to learn all the basics of legal research and then some.

This is a beautiful and well-written romance with a great storyline. I have read it numerous times over the past 10 years, and it always gets better. It might be the romantic in my speaking, but I love it. There is nothing inappropriate, but the charms of the book are found in the proper romance, which I would find appropriate for anyone over 10. If your looking for a worthwhile romance, check this one out, it is well worth it. :)
