Book Description

This newly updated edition of Mozambique will whet the appetite of independent travelers. After uncertain years of war and natural disaster, this guide encompasses the changes that have taken place. Southern Mozambique is only a days' drive from Johannesburg, with the capital Maputo lying just over the border, making it an easy extension of a visit to South Africa. The south coast of Mozambique is exceptionally beautiful; beaches lined with palm tree and world-ranking snorkeling, diving, and game-fishing locations are all highlighted, along with listings of exceptional restaurants and resorts. For backpackers exploring off-the-beaten-track Africa, the challenges of getting to and around northern Mozambique are described. Also detailed is Ilha do Moçambique--a small coral island and Cultural Heritage Site boasting a formidable fortress and claiming to be the oldest European settlement in East Africa.

Book Description

*This title was chosen as a 2001 Honor Book by the Society of School Librarians International.

On January 14, 1993, four women made history by becoming the first women to reach the South Pole on foot. For sixty-seven days and 660 miles they skied, dragging 200-pound sleds, across the white plains of Antarctica, challenged by its bitter temperatures and strong winds. But the biggest hardships they faced were internal, as each one struggled to keep mental focus, emotional perspective, and physical well being in the face of nearly unyielding stress.

This is a true story, told in diary excerpts, dispatches, letters, and narrative. It is an intimate account of four very different people aiming for a single goal: Ann, whose job as leader ultimately came before personal ambition; Sue, whose early worries first closed her off from others; Anne, who fought the injury and mood swings grinding her down; and Sunniva, whose sprained ankle forced her to accept help as well as give it. Because of their synergy and dedication, all four reached the Pole as a team. But as important for each was the inward journey.

Strong and strongminded women, carving out their own paths in life, are still enough of a rarity in books for teenagers to make this one special. It is illustrated with photos from the expedition.

A Linnet Book. Grades 6-up, xi, 84 p., map, illus., gloss., resources. Library binding, 0-208-02518-9, $25.00.

An unusual blend of autobiography and adventure.......2001-08-17

This survey of the American women's expedition to Antarctica from 1992-93 is intended for teens and middle school readers but will reach into adult levels as well, providing an unusual blend of autobiography and adventure as author Bancroft and 3 others journeyed to Antarctic. Based on their journals, Four To The Pole is a fine account of their adventures and discoveries.

Book Description

If You Love Bouviers..........2006-02-15

If you love Bouviers, you will love this book. It is worth every penny! Great history, photos, and packed all the information you need as a potential Bouvier owner or as an admirer of the breed. Pedigrees, puppy selection, grooming... it's all there. A must have if you plan to own a Bouvier. I keep mine on my bedside table... when I'm not carrying it around with me. (Yup, it's heavy.) This is the best Bouvier book I've ever found and definitely the most thorough.

Detailed history of breed, special emphasis on police work.......1999-01-15

As a new and first time owner of a Bouvier des Flandres puppy, I appreciated many of the details, historical, raising and breeding. The book emphasizes the Bouvier as a Schultzhund dog, which is the author's perogative. I would have appreciated more information on training of a Bouvier for a pet. Many dog owners desire a lovable pet not a champion police dog. The author is an important breeder of Bouviers and he has many valid points to keep the Bouviers to a standard. I myself researched breeders for several months as it is a problem. My summary statement is that the book is worth the money. If there is a revision, I hope the author will broaden his interests in the breed for the general dog owner.

The Bouvier book everyone should read.......1998-12-09

A most informative easy to read book, giving accurate detail and information about the Bouvier des Flandres.

Engle accurately portrays the breed in easy to read text........1998-03-04

Engle does an excellant job of portraying Bouviers as the working family dog they really are. All Bouvier owners should read this book. Kathleen Ryan

This is it! The book that does the breed justice!.......1996-08-02

If you are a Bouvier des Flandres fancier or just think that you would like to know more about the breed, buy this book! History, bloodlines, showing, training and grooming are all covered in detail. Best of all, this book does what we wish all breed books did. It gives us an HONEST picture of a noble breed without the sugar-coated praise that makes too many people buy the wrong dog. Read this book and you won't go wrong when you look into Bouviers.

Given proper training, this confident canine can become a terrific family pet and guardian. Written by Belgian breed expert and renowned international show judge, Dr. Robert Pollet, this new Comprehensive Owners Guide paints a detailed portrait of the Bouviers history and character and discusses the breed standard, puppy selection and care, basic obedience and house-training and much more. Bouvier owners will welcome the authors insightful chapters on everyday care for the adult dog as well as the authoritative healthcare chapter written by Dr. Lowell Ackerman discussing preventive care, inoculations, selecting a vet and much more. Whether you are a newly smitten Bouvier admirer or a long-time breeder and fancier, this new Kennel Club Book will not disappoint you in your search for accurate, up-to-date information about this remarkable breed.

Bouviers.......2007-08-27

We recently purchased this book along with a Bouv pup, 8 weeks old then.This so far in all the checking out we have done has proved to be the BEST Bouvier book on the market. So if you are thiking of purchasing a Bouv read this book from front to back and it will answer any question you have. Our pup is now 7months old and thanks to this book we are still learning. Excellent read.

Good starter book!.......2006-03-01

This is a nice book. Especially, when you are still in the "research phase" of finding out if a Bouvier is the dog for you. We currently live in The Netherlands and took this book to our new puppies breeder and he also thought it was "a very good book." This book is easy to read and has nice heavy pages. A very good beginner book with everything you need in it, from history to fleas!

BOUVIER DES FLANDRES BY CLAIRE MCLEAN.......2000-04-15

My husband and I own a 4 yr old Bouvier named Gibson and are avid "Bouv" people. This book was recommended as one of the books to read before acquiring a Bouv. It has excellent history and standards for both the American and Canadian Kennel Clubs if you choose to show. Some of the pictures of the breed are from the early 1900's are rare and wonderful to see. Since the breed was almost wiped out by the Nazis, most records and pictures destroyed, these pictures are rare and beautiful.

It is a good book for the new Bouv owner or someone who is thinking of buying one. The Bouvier is not a dog for everyone. They have a tendancy to be very stubborn and mature mentally at about the age of 3, so they require lots of love, patience, and positive reinforcement. They are "thinkers" and are often decribed as smarter than their owners. They will keep you young and thinking on your feet. The descriptions in this book are very true to form. Great book all around! If you are researching lineage, there is quite a bit of info in this book. Try it, You'll like it.

Book Description

A lavishly illustrated guide to native plants in California. From the tallest tree in the world (the coast redwood which can grow to 370 feet tall) to the smallest flowering plant in existence (the pond-dwelling water-meal, which measures less thant one-tenth of an inch), California is home to more native plants than any other state in the nation. This large-format book celebrates the state's extraordinary richness with 500 full-color photographs and 100 essays written especially for the general reader. Dividing the state into 10 ecological regions, botantists have identified areas where local enviromental factors favor a special ensemble of rare or endemic plants.
