Book Description

Take a page from Ms. Frizzle's book. Better yet, read all of her class notes and find out the incredible facts about the only flying mammals: BATS. The Magic School Bus Fact Finders are wonderful research tools. With photographs, illustrations, an index, and much more, they have all the information that makes learning fun. Each book is reviewed by an expert in the field and includes up-to-date information. Plus, you can count on the Ms. Frizzle's class to cover the zany aspects of science as well. Based on the original series written by Joanna Cole & illustrated by Bruce Degen.

Book Description

In Tarpon Quest, Cole offers a vivid and detailed look at his quarry, the great silver king, and of the exquisite waters of the Florida Keys and the Marquesas Islands that it inhabits. He describes the dramatic pursuit of these huge fish with fly rod and flies - near misses, heartrendering failures, the earned (and unearned) successes of others, and finally his own chance. (51/2 X 81/4, 112 pages)

Cole captures the gill-plate-rattling-surge of salted fish........1999-06-01

John Cole LIVES fly fishing...splatteing his days on shallow-draft boats into tales that haul us all to the splintered, warped planks of Key West...to the wind-lashed channels of obsessive pursuit. READ THIS BOOK--a tropical drink stitched to your discontent...small enough to hide in the side pocket of a commuter's valise.

Book Description

The period between 1660-1720 witnessed the foundation of modern London. The city was transformed after the great fire from a tight warren of medieval timber-framed building into a landscape of brick houses laid out in squares and spacious streets. This book examines the building boom of the period, and the speculative developers who created that landscape, their working practices, the role of craftsmen, and the design thinking which led to the creation of a new prototype for English housing. Focusing on this period as a distinct phase in London's architectural development, this book offers a radical reinterpretation of the adoption of Renaissance styles.

Book Description

Not an AKC-recognized breed, but beloved as one of the most intelligent dogs.

The Border Collie: An Owner's Guide to a Happy Healthy Pet.......2005-12-29

This book was a bit of a disappointment as I was looking for some specific info on Border Collies and I felt as if any breed's name could have been substituted where they used the name Border Collie. As a general beginners book on dogs and dog training it was OK and would be worth a few bucks to buy it. Other than some nice photos of Border Collies it had nothing in it specific to this breed.

The Border Collie: An Owner's Guide to a Happy Healthy Pet .......2005-06-24

This bookis extremely helpful but sometimes confusing. It teaches you how ot train, groom and how much your breed needs in food maters. This book will definatly help new owners fighure out why there dog does what it does, and how to fix the situation

Terrible.......2004-12-30

What a disappointment.

The majority of this book is about dogs in general. If you're looking for information specifically about the Border Collie breed, as I was, don't waste your money. You can get 90% of what was in this book by picking up any book on dogs, and you won't know any more about Border Collies than you did before you read it.

This Book is Great.......1999-11-07

I first read this book when I checked it out of the library and I totaly loved it. I had checked books out before about other breeds, to find out which one would be the best for me, and all of the other books were so full of things that didn't understand that it made it hard to choose. But when I read this book, not only did I find out that the Boder Collie was the right dog for me, but I also was able to understand everyting the author was talking about. So if you're looking for a book that is easy to understnad and yet informative as well I would recomend this book, it's great!

A really great border collie book.......1999-06-16

I found this book at my local library and, a big fan of border collies, was eager to check it out. I was pleased by the full-colored photos instead of black and white ones. The book provides true and top notch information, and the author reflects on her own experiences with border collies several times. There are chapters on feeding, grooming, training, behavior, and equipment. If you need a border collie book, get this one. It's the best one I've ever seen.

Unique Resource.......1998-04-27

I am doing a Victorian dollhouse and
I got this book out of the library
just to see if it would be of help
to me in planning my furnishings. It turns out
that the author has gone room by
room, describing the use,
appearance and items you would
expect to find in each. It is
exactly what a miniaturist wants to
know. So - I am ordering one for my
very own. Anyone who is fascinated with Victoriana should like this book since Mr. Mace really gives you
an insight into the Victorian era
and a feel for life
during that period. While most of
the book's illustrations are black
and white, they are clear and
several color plates are included. He includes price ranges for collectors as well but since this book was published in '91, they would be of limited use.

Book Description

Written for both experienced and novice collectors, 100 Years of the Decorative Arts is a comprehensive illustrated survey of a period once ignored by serious antique dealers but now one of the most popular collecting fields. In this book, Eric Knowles brings together Victoriana, Arts and Crafts, Art Nouveau and Art Deco.

Beginning with an introduction to the main events, artistic movements and technological advances of the period, Knowles looks in detail at all of the important craftsmen and women working in the United States, Britain, and continental Europe. The range of media considered is no less diverse and includes furniture, sculpture, ceramics, jewelry and glass. Each section includes information on identification, valuation, dating and fakes. Finally, there is a list of designers, craftsmen and women, manufacturers and their marks, and a glossary of technical terms.

extensive but not enough.......2000-09-04

covers a wide range of different antiques and styles with a focus on the main artists of each style,descriptions,marks,and tips for what to look out for, but does not provide enough examples of the works of each artist or factory featured. good reading,well written,extensive and informative. the book contains a good number of selected designers and manufacturers as well as the different marks of many of them and that is very helpful. the author,Eric Knowles,is one of the leading experts in the field and you notice that as you read. it is a shame he does not put a value estimate by the photos.

Great Resource.......2007-05-03

I love this book. I took it to the nursery with me to pick out my plants. I have started my native garden and all the plants are doing marvelously well- exactly as the book stated. I look forward to years of developing my Texas garden. I strongly recommend this book. I am a beginner gardener and really have no idea what I'm doing, but this book has helped me immensely.

High Desert Gardening.......2000-06-05

I found this book in our local library and liked it so well that I am pruchasing one. The plant listings and discriptions are concise and complete. There us information on propagation, altitude requirements, alternate species and group planting suggestions. All in all, a very good book for the high desert and native plant gardener, particularly for the new desert dweller.
