Since 9/11 all Americans have come to know their deep affection for their buildings and public spaces. Due to be published on that fated date, this book helps us to recognize our need to preserve and cherish Madison Square Park. Miriam Barman does an excellent job is this epic work.

Ms. Parks includes 90 large color close-ups of some very interesting vests by 40 talented designers. If these photos were all there were, it would be a good book for anyone wanting to create wearable art vests. Ms. Clark makes it a great book by including gridded vest patterns and instructions for making and embellishing your own vests. If you want to create a great vest, this book will help

This is the first book that takes a look at *how* Disney designs and builds its theme parks. This information was once only available to those who work for Walt Disney Imagineering and others in the Walt Disney Company. Now, we all get to go behind the scenes to learn how it's done--from the experts themselves. This book is a must-have for any fans of Walt Disney Imagineering

Adolph Murie is one of the greatest naturalists of this century. Gradually, I've been collecting all of his books. Most of his books are reprints of his original government research with hazy old photos, but Mammals is modern and up to date, in a larger format with brilliant color photography. What an excellent addition to my library.

I love Jane Austen. And this was the movie that made me fall in love with her work. This book excellent. I act it out all the time and read it along with the movie. This a really great book!If your not sure about it, watch the movie; you'll see what I mean.

The little traveled, little known wilderness area in far northern California comes to life in this well-written and organized guide book. It includes an extensive natural history section to make your hikes more enjoyable and informative. It also includes the most accurate, detailed map of the wilderness (throw out those outdated, dangerously inaccurate Forest Service maps)! This guide book is well worth the money if you're looking for an escape from the crowds in the better known wilderness areas.

As the author of Mayday! Mayday! I wanted to give pilots a warning regarding safety flying over the Smokies. We also wanted to offer the book as a text for SAR teams and thirdly to present this small slice of Smoky Mtn. history.

Mom and Dad, this nifty soft-bound book will keep the kids occupied as you road trip out west. Packed with fun facts about 45 of our western national parks and monuments and all illustrated with "mazes" to keep the kids busy. Maze answer key is shown in the back. The nice size of the book makes it easy for kids to use pens, pencils, markers or crayons to navigate their way around the single page mazes.

I bought this book from Amazon a few years ago, while learning swahili. Now, I read it to my 15 month old, and he ADORES it. The images are very beautiful, and he likes to hear me speak english and swahili (we are French). One of his favorites !

Few Christians may admit it, but Silence & Solitude is a spiritual discipline that can really boost your relationship with God. The reason is that 21st-Century Christians are so caught up with the busyness of today that they don't know how to stop and listen for God's voice.
