I don't know that I've ever read a better dive book or travel guide. The author covers every minute detail, and somehow, it still reads well--a fascinating and well-treated subject. David Leonard shows great wit and a solid knowledge of his subject.

The photographs are amazing, too.

Loved it! Nice message & morals, but plenty of heat! Good for teenagers and adults alike. Perfect beach-type read. Buy it!

Another fine Dinotopia story. This time we are treated to an undersea adventure complete with intelligent plesiosaurs. Gurney's world of people living with dinosaurs gets better with each telling.

My son loves these books, although he is starting to read at a higher level and has expanded to include the books of the Dinosaur Wars series. These are adventures with a harder edge than Dinotopia, but still suitable for teens.

The Dolphins Of Hilton Head: Their Natural History by ecologist and conservation biologist Cara M. Gubbins is an informed and informative introduction to the fascinating life and world of dolphins, studying their feeding, socializing, communication, and much, much more. Black-and-white photographs enhance the adventurous and detailed, "reader friendly" text, making The Dolphins Of Hilton Head a truly exciting account which is most especially recommended for marine wildlife students in general, and dolphin enthusiasts in particular.

I've read Lennox Honychurch's Book THE DOMINICA STORY and it is the most comprehensive book you will ever get on the history of the island of Dominica. From the arrival of the Caribs and Awaraks on their flimsy conoe to the arrival of Christopher Colombus and the Europian invasion on the island.The early politics on the islan is disected and put together as you turn the pages revealing the rich history of the "nature island of the caribbean".

A native who soloed the Gulf Islands in a small sloop, over many years. Descriptive of the geography , culture and sea conditions. Adventursome as a solo sailor and explorer. Magical as only this part of the world can weave a spell! 144 p paperback that has no time boundaries. A super gift for the sailor or sailor wanna-be. Five stars!

I Loved it. A great deal of research went into this story. This book is very real and a must read by all. It is well written and thorough as if watching movie, hard to put down. The characters, places, events and overall story is so believable. A scary senario. This would make a great movie.

This book, published in 1989, is a distillation of Thor Heyerdahl's research on Easter Island. It traces the history of Easter Island's interaction with the outside world, from Roggeveen's visit in 1722 up to the time of the book's writing. Along the way, Mr. Heyerdahl builds his case that two peoples, one from South America and one from Polynesia populated Easter Island.

This book is fantastic! I am not entirely convinced of Mr. Heyerdahl's case, but found his case compelling nonetheless. The book itself has many color pictures and maps, and is visually quite stunning. Now, not all of the book is about Mr. Heyerdahl's proposed history, so if you are merely interested in Easter Island, then you will still enjoy this book. This is a great book, one that you should read!

Ann Corum's "Easy Cooking:The Island Way" is a great cookbook, easy to read, with fun-to-try recipes and a generous dollop of common sense for beginning cooks. The Hawaiian-themed dishes are unusual, tasty, and quick. Yes, there are some Spam recipes (Corum has written Spam cookbooks too, since it is a mainstay of the Islands) so if you are prejudiced against the canned pork product, just skip those.

I first purchased this book on the Big Island in the summer of 1990. When my oldest daughter got her first apartment at college, I let her take it since it's a wonderful source of advice for kids new to the kitchen. Somehow it got lost over the intervening years so I was as pleased as Hawaiian punch to find it in Amazon z-shops, even though it's out of print.

Corum is a librarian in Hawaii who has published several other cookbooks. "Easy Cooking:The Island Way" is a good way to try out some of her recipes and to enjoy her easy Island style. Highly recommended!

This book provides the reader with an entertaining and detailed history of Topsail Island. Topsail Island is one of the hidden jewels of the North Carolina coast. With it's small-town ambience and laid-back lifestyle - it is heaven on Earth. When you come over the swing bridge onto the Island, time stops. It is the most awesome place. The book clues you in on the rich history of the Island - from the days of the Blockade Runners to Operation Bumblebee...
