A wonderful and important regional American history book. Details the pristine coastal areas of Georgia with a facsinating history of the area from pirate and missionary days to the 20th century.

I was deeply moved by this incredible historical account of explorers and exploiters of the South Pacific. Learn more about the fabulous voyages of Captain Cook, Magellan and others. Learn about the tragic loss of the Polynesian culture. Also read: Rascals In Paradise by James Michener

I really enjoyed this book about the stories of Put in Bay, Ohio. There are 19 th century newspaper articles included as well as the author's material. Many pictures help keep the book interesting. I would quickly snatch a copy before it goes out of print. There aren't too many books on Put in Bay out there unless you have big bucks. There is a cheaper trade paperback version available...

I think Mackinac Island: Hisotric Frontier, Vacation Resort, Timeless Wonderland is the best all around book about Mackinac Island that is on the market today. It has detailed information about the Islands history and geological evolution that is still very readable. This book covers the many vacation and resorty aspects of the Island also. If you are looking for a readable text book with all the general information about Mackinac Island you could every want, this is the book for you!

Seldom have I read a book with which I agreed more completely.

While not a book to be read from cover to cover, this is a fun book to browse. The book is like a Roger Ebert guide to American movies and TV shows either filmed on location or about the Pacific. I'm probably not objective, as the Pacific and old movies are both hobbies of mine, but I keep this book close to my cable box. The book is fairly comprehensive in covering all movies made in or about the Pacific. Reyes is non-critical about the movies he profiles. The pictures are worth the price all by themselves.

Nice colours and nice drawings for a world of flowers, elfs, magicians and space ships.
A whole saga of 6 (soon 7) books, with a sense of spirituality in the complex world of the Galatic Confederation. A ray of sun in the french cartoons.

When Schuyler "Skye" King gets a call from his friend Grant what he hears is a bloody and brutal murder. Upon investigating his friend's death King encounters phenomena his assistant professorship of English never prepared him for beginning with his friend's "soul" being part of a laptop computer! MagicNet is a meld of science fiction and fantasy as King is joined by a cyberwitch and an ultimate confrontation with an evil wizard of the web! This very highly recommended Ziplow, audiobook production is enhanced with a Hilton Head Island Repertory Company cast, sound effects, and superb recording standards.

As an adult, I was not expecting to enjoy learning a little bit about the coral reefs, but I really did.

While visiting with my nephew, he wanted to read this book. My mom(his Nana) went with him to the library and he picked out five of the Magic School Bus books. Takes a Dive was one of the books.

The illustrations by Bruce Degen were really cool. At one point in the book, the children turned into different sea creatures from anemones and hermit crabs to remoras and sharks. Degen definitely makes the book visually appealing.

Joanna Cole writes in a way that is easy to comprehend for children. I think that it is wonderful how she revolves the book around a multicultural class of about eight kids. Many different ethnicities in the class are represented.

Cole gives the child a chance to explore the coral reefs to discover what the reefs are about in a way that is neither condescending or patronizing.

Also, she throws in the concept of partnership. One of the kids, Wanda, is always wanting to know why she has to have Dorothy Ann as a partner. Through their exploration of the coral reef, Wanda and Dorothy Ann discover why they need to work together as partners.

Even though my nephew was four years old, I would say that this book is designed for an older child between the ages of 9 to 12, like they suggested here at amazon.com.

If you want to learn a little bit more about exploring coral reefs with your children, then this is the book for you.

I have never seen this on television, so I do not know how it would come across on television. But, if it is as good as this book, then it would be just as good.

The pictures are really extrodinary and the text is very readable and understandable. I don't tire of looking at the photos over and over.
