Lonely Planet Best of Buenos Aires.......2006-03-27

We bought this book along with Frommer's Buenos Aires before our trip to Argentina. This book was a total waste of money! It was just awful! The information it offered was thin and useless. It included very few hotels, and was choc full of the authors political biases and views. We wanted a guide book, not a political treatise. Frommer's was far superior! Frommers gave very good travel information and much more extensive hotel and restaurant reviews. Save your money on this one. I wish I had.

Book Description

The Kingfisher Book of Evolution follows the story of life as it unfolds on Earth. Every aspect of evolution is covered, beginning with a look at the first primitive organisms 3.5 million years ago and ending with a daring vision of life in the future. Explore evolution from the perspectives of religion, myth, and history; join Darwin on his exciting voyage of discovery on the Beagle; and witness vivid reconstructions of the lives of our ancestors! The clear text, detailed illustrations and photographs make it easy for young readers to understand the science behind concepts such as genetics, heredity, and cloning, and to follow the trail of life from DNA to dinosaurs and beyond. Includes a factfile, glossary, and index.

Book Description

Acclaimed and coveted by both naturalists and lovers of wildlife illustration, Jonathan Kingdon's seven-volume East African Mammals has become a classic of modern natural history. This paperback edition makes Kingdon's remarkable artistic and scientific achievement—his hundreds of drawings and perceptive study of all the mammals in East Africa's species-rich fauna—available to the wide audience it deserves.

Volume IIIB celebrates the large mammals for which the African plains are so famous—elephants, rhinos, zebras, bushpigs, and warthogs, hippopotamuses, camels, chevrotains, giraffes. Kingdon brings his artist's eye to such puzzles as the zebra's stripes and the giraffe's spots, making original observations throughout the seven volumes about the evolutionary and functional significance of coat color, facial expressions, and curious forms and markings.

The beauty of the animals, so vivid in these incomparable drawings, is made more poignant by the acknowledgment of their increasingly endangered status. Kingdon discusses the inevitable problems posed by large mammal communities in a developing continent and includes numerous maps indicating their declining ranges and populations.

this guy rocks so hard.......2003-04-23

I love my Jon Kingdon..the guy just draws so well and reading his accounts and observation you can tell he has a love for the animals he draws.Just amazing.Luckily I bought my copy when it was "only" 50 bucks, not sure why its so expensive now but I must say it's almost worth the new price.

A "Must-Have" For All Wildlife Artists!.......1999-11-02

As a professional Wildlife Artist, my field includes painting, sculpture, and taxidermy.

This makes all of the "East African Mammals" series of books by Jonathan Kingdon an absolute necessity. The text gives a wonderful insight into the natural history as well as the historical ancestry of the majority of East Africa's wild children.

But even more, it is Mr. Kingdon's exquisite pencil renderings of the individual species as well as the structure of their musculature, that make these books so special.

These musculature drawings, in turn, are further enhanced by deeper dissection-like illustrations revealing the deeper muscle structures responsible for much of the movement and support for the mammal in question. These types of drawings are especially fascinating in this, the Large Mammals volume, wherein the trunk of the elephant and the mouth structure of the hippopotamus are visually dissected to provide a greater insight into these structures, and their performance in the animal.

Also covered in this Large Mammals volume, is the Zebra and the Giraffe. Among the extensive coverage, the zebras' anatomy is not only printed, but it is also illustrated in all its' stripe variations, as well as its' ancestral evolutionary development. Included with the giraffe, we get a look at the muscles, as well as its' coat and how the predator sees - or more correctly - doesn't see its' quarry!

The books in this series are therefore especially indispensable to the Wildlife Restorer (taxidermist) as a guide to anatomy that we rarely get to see "in-the-flesh" as it were.

I can, therefore, wholeheartedly recommend this series of books to anyone who cares enough about their chosen field of art, to pursue all ends to collect as much reference material as possible.

These books are an excellent addition to the wildlife artists' library.

Book Description

The Berichtigungsliste der Griechischen Papyrusurkunden aus Agypten, compiled under the auspices of the "Association Internationale de Papyrologues", is an indispensable tool for any editor or user of Greek papyrus documents. Like its predecessors, this ninth volume lists, in alphabetical order of papyri, the new corrections of readings and datings of published documents, as well as supplementary information, as they have appeared in recent literature. The book also supplies indexes of new readings and rejected readings of Greek words. The value of the work lies in providing an overview of the explosive growth of research in Greek papyrology, the fruits of which appear in such an extremely wide spectrum of publications, that it may not completely be known or available to professional papyrologists, let alone to historians and philologists who also make use of papyrological resources. A new feature is that this volume aims to provide better accessibility for non-papyrologists.

Book Description

Dance Movement Therapy is a concise, practical introduction to a form of therapy, which has the body-mind relationship at its center. Movement, with both its physical and metaphorical potential, provides a unique medium through which clients can find expression, reach new interpretations and ultimately achieve a greater integration of their emotional and physical experience.

In the book, Bonnie Meekums maps the origins of Dance Movement Therapy (DMT) and its relationship to other more traditional forms of therapy. Outlining a new model for DMT, she describes the creative process, which develops in cycles throughout each session and over the course of therapy. Illustrated throughout with vivid case examples, the book defines the role of the therapist in working with clients to bring about change.

Customer Reviews:

Good for general knowledge.......2004-09-10

This book is good for general knowledge of dance therapy, it provides pretty good examples of mind-body relation in a form of case studies. Though this book lacks detail of the therapy session, methods used, group dynamics, etc. If you are looking for a real detail and structured explanation, look somewhere else.

Book Description

A young woman trades in her high-heeled shoes for combat boots when she leaves the glamorous and creative world of fashion to join the Army. Life events that compel her to make the dramatic change begin when she is a child in rural Alabama. During the 60s she becomes a battlefield casualty of the civil rights movement both emotionally and physically. In the Army she fights a different battle. That of being female and black in one of the world's most powerful organizations. The ultimate fight, though, is for sanity in an insane world.
