This is a great book for all those who have a special place in their hearts for animals. Gerald Durrell takes us through his experiences in setting up a zoo in Jersey. It is a marvelous book full of humor. It sends out a message about saving wildlife. So, even if you are not the one to start a zoo, this book is a must read for you!

This book took me back to the time the ancient Indians were building a massive residence that was paralleling the construction of Europe's castles and cathedrals. The Introduction places the first studies done by Fewkes in perspective. The pictures are intriguing; they assisted my mind's musing on who could create such a building in that isolated desert canyon so many years ago.

A comprehensive and entertaining book that captures the essence of Miami Beach--old and new, the history, the people, the architecture, the excitement, the preservation of the Art Deco District, and the culture, along with an incredible collection of photographs.

Moompa Toby and Bomp is one of my daughters favorite books. Toby speaks like a two year old and the walk in the park is just the kind of adventure my daughter and I have together. She loved this story on her first birthday and still loves it at 2 1/2. In the beginning she experienced the story as Toby's story. Over time and the hundred plus readings, she has become more and more engrossed in Bomp's story.

As a busy parent of three children, I am always on the look out for new weekend adventures--this book has it all. It gives great history, detail, local color, places and events...even usable local area maps.

With listings by regions, Kim Weir has a succinct novelists eye for what makes Northern California beat. Makes great reading...I keep this large 1000 page pocket book at my nightstand to read colorful stories about places I might someday visit. Equally compact, I then load the book in my car for ready reference to see what's hot whereever we roam.

Written with the insight of Mark Twain, this is an excellent source for anyone wanting to capture the diversity of Northern California at it's greatest. Lot's of fun. Quite readible. Full of nice pictures.

Well worth the $ for the new 2000 edition. Congrats to Moon Press for another winner. Please keep those updates comming.

I am a frequent traveler to Vancouver, and over the years have picked up a variety of books to city, and recently found this one in a Seattle bookstore. It is a smallish guide, but contains everything a traveler needs to make the most of a visit. I like to get out and about when on business-related travel, and found that the book has led me to many interesting places I never new existed (I had a great morning sea kayaking up the Indian Arm on the author's reccomendation). I also like reading about those quirky facts about places that are hard to come by, and again, the author knows the city well from the inclusion of many of these facts (Vancouver: Secrets of the City is a book devoted to the subject). The section on restaurants is extremely comprehensive, with all price ranges covered, and I found the author's picks spot on. The book ends with a chapter on nearby Victoria, a helpful addition.

For anyone who has ever lived or wanted to live in a small dynamic resort town like Park City, realizing that politics is perhaps the best form of entertainment. Tom Clyde's humorous observations in this well crafted group of crisp essays, will keep you amused and bemused and will strike familiar chords in anyone attached to the character and charisma of small towns.

I met the book's photographer at Mount Rainier National Park, so I bought the book at the gift shop there. It has some great pictures. You can tell from the description of it (32 pages) that it's a tad short.

If your interested in Mt.Rainier,this is the book for you.Written by Jerry and his wife Gisela with illistrations by Larry Eifert, this book is great for if your interested in any aspect of the mountain.The interesting true storys make this an enjoyable book for even casual reading.Jerry Rohde is what is called a Home&Hospital teacher.He teaches children that can not go to school their school assiments.I had to go into this program due to surgery and luckfuly ended up with Jerry.He's a great guy and a great historian and I am glad to be one of his students.
