Where and How to Photograph Wildlife

Book Description

Do you want to capture--on film, of course--a bushtail possum or an orange-eyed frog? How about cheetah cubs cuddling, penguins in a huddle, or a wildly colorful toucan? If animals, travel, and pictures are your passion, load your cameras and get set for a photographic safari! A world-class photographer--and winner of a silver medal from the Photographic Society of America--shows off his breathtaking work and reveals how you, too, can take memorable images of wildlife in their own habitats. You'll find out everything about planning the trip, from flights and hotels to clothing and medical precautions; what equipment and techniques work best in the field; and what makes a good wildlife photo. The areas covered include Australia, Africa, the Falkland and Galapagos Islands, India, Thailand, Venezuela, and Brazil. Plus a section on photographing animals in captivity. Even if you never leave your own backyard, what you'll learn here will make all your wildlife pictures perfect.

Retirement in a College Town.......2006-03-08

There was some good information but the book was not as useful as I had hoped. The maps were not useful at all and the regional breakdown was strange.

Choosing a college town for retirement.......2005-09-21

Very informative. A lot of very useful information for each town that let's you "comparative shop" each town against the others.
There could be another 20-30 college towns included for completeness.
The book is set up well in a good order.

Stop Being Such A Crab!.......2005-08-31

This is great book! It covers the whole country evenly. It's well-rounded, lively, and has a unique point-of-view: college towns!

Every time I look for a good places-to-retire book, virtually every one is picked apart by a bunch of crabs! There's not a single book of this type on Amazon with 4, 4 1/2 or 5 stars! Give me a break! If you can do a better job, write a book on places to retire, yourself!

Voting with the Majority.......2004-11-30

This book might be of good use to a person with no idea of what college and university towns exist in the United States. But despite the great pains the author takes in the introductory chapter to tell us how many miles he traveled in researching it, for anyone -- like me -- who has looked into the subject a little Choose a College Town will feel slim and superficial, with a decided tilt toward the places -- Santa Cruz and Bennington, VT, e.g -- that the author already knows well. I could also do without the cutesy (?) borrowing of obvious 60's song titles for chapter sub-heads. Exam this in-store before buying.

An Excellent Resource.......2003-10-15

I found this to be an excellent, useful, and delightfully readable guide. Lubow has selected college towns throughout the country that he considers especially appealing candidates for retirement and profiles each in a thorough and thoughtful way. His writing style is clear, unpretentious, personal, and honest. This book is both useful and fun to read. Highly recommended.

Book Description

Cordwood masonry is an ancient building technique whereby walls are constructed from "log ends" laid transversely in the wall. It is easy, economical, esthetically striking, energy-efficient, and environmentally-sound.

Cordwood Building collects the wisdom of over 25 of the world's best practitioners, detailing the long history of the method, and demonstrating how to build a cordwood home using the latest and most up-to-date techniques, with a special focus on building code issues.

Customer Reviews:

Great book!.......2007-09-06

I'm from Germany and cordwoord buildings are uncommon here. Horizontal log homes are booming but as expensive as ordinary home building not a choice for people without a lot of money.
So cordwood may be a solution if we can get a permission with our restrictive rules and regulations here.

The book provides the builder with every detail he must know, it's really great.
For getting some practice we will start building a small shed with cordwood. ;-)

Too much froth.......2006-03-26

Too much anecdotal fluff - relates boring stories and information about people that I found irrelevant as a reader. It was irritating the way the authors kept obsessively giving compliments and acknowledgements to friends and contributors throughout the book; almost like it were a club writing the book for themselves and not for paying customers. I am instinctively suspicious of people that try to sell me things, and the fact that the authors kept making plugs and product endorsements made me doubt their credibility. Because of all the aforementioned sludge, this was a hard book to get through; I found I couldn't read it; I had to skim through it to get the useful information. Which was there, but like I said, it was to deeply buried. This book should be edited down to half its length. The book is worth checking out of the library, but probably not worth buying: 2.75 out of 5.

Great stuff.......2005-08-02

This is a great book for the alternative housing minded owner builder. Good insight and practical discussion.

great resource.......2005-07-08

My local library has a copy of Rob Roy's previous cordwood book. It is almost always checked out, and everyone I know uses it as the cordwood bible.
This book, for be has been just that. I am in the process of planning my cordwood bath house, ad everytime I find myself wondering about a step in the process or seeking a reasoning, I simply turn to this book. Every time I have a question, it has an answer! Also, it has lots of pictures which are particulaly helpful for someone as visually oriented as I am.

We love this book - We're Chapter 6 - Round w/ 16 sides! !.......2003-12-18

Rob tells our story with a wonderful craft that will help you share our building experience in 1995. We called our home Hutchnden House because it was where a Bunny (Bernice) and a Bear(David) lived for 5 wonderful years. If you buy this book and have questions about our building experience with a hexadecagon, email us at fraser@terracom.ca and we would be happy to help in any way we can. Since our building in 1995 Bunny has designed several homes, one, a single story 1600 sq ft. beauty is fantastic. Thank you Rob and Jaki for your inspiration and encouragement. Bunny and Bear

Brief, concise, and filled with helpful photos, this introductory guide provides essential information on horse harnessing.

Customer Reviews:

Short, scattered, and British.......2007-07-25

I was disappointed when I received this book as it was so thin! It is more of a pamphlet than a book. There are nice pictures, but they get out of order now and then which is confusing, and it is written with very British terminology. This book does not give you enough information to harness up, though it did have a few helpful hints. Also, there were no descriptions on the different parts of the harness until the last page, which had a poorly drawn diagram. Save your money.

Book Description

The topic of Emotional Intelligence (EI) (EQ), as a way for improving bottom-line performance in business or golf, is still foreign to most business executives, workers, and golfers today. This may be due to the fact that many of the books written about EQ, prior to the year 2000, have been mainly written in scientific and technical terms, not specifically targeted for the average layperson. Score! Power Up Your Game, Business and Life by Harnessing the Power of Emotional Intelligence is intended as a layperson's introduction into EQ by exploring the seven major EQ categories covering one's personal and social skills. In addition, it provides two sample assessments, (one for business and one for golf) demonstrating how to determine one's level of EQ in the business and golf environments. There are now over 100 business skills that clearly show that by learning and enhancing one's EQ, personal performance can be significantly improved. This can happen both in affecting the bottom-line profitability of a business or the bottom-line of improving one's enjoyment, appreciation, happiness, and scores in playing the game of golf. So no matter whether in the boardroom or on the golf course, Score! Power Up Your Game, Business and Life by Harnessing the Power of Emotional Intelligence will be your guide to empower you to become more emotionally intelligent and lead you to become a more effective performer in the workplace and on the golf course.

This is a Great Gift for the Business Golfer.......2006-12-12

If you're looking for a "business" or "corporate" gift - maybe a book to distribute to your sales and/or management teams - this is the one.

What "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" or "Zen and the Art of Archery" is to the learning of zen principles - SCORE! is to the learning and application of Emotional Intelligence principles through the game of golf. And just like you don't have to ride a motorcycle or be an archer to appreciate the zen books - you don't necessarily need to be a golfer to appreciate SCORE! The writing is down-to-earth, practical and engaging. It's a quick and fun read that you'll come back to again and again. I'm buying several for my clients, friends and family.

From the supplier: M.C. Mehta, secretary general of the Indian Council for Enviro-Legal Action, blames India's irresponsible industries and municipalities for the contamination of the Ganges river. He claims that 30% of the pollutants that contaminate the river comes from these industries while the remaining 70% is discharged by cities and towns along the Ganges. To remedy this situation, Mehta has petitioned India's Supreme Court to oblige municipalities and industries along the Ganges river to clean up the waterway.

A Feast for the Eyes! Inspiration for All Artists!.......2003-08-20

Outstanding book on a unique artist with the professional photography that matches her work.

Buy for yourself, coffee table, inspiration!

A must have for all doll makers for whatever reason!

Don't miss this spectacular book.......2002-01-25

For those of us who could never afford a Lichtenfels piece, this is the next best thing. The realism and detail she is able to achieve in cloth is astonishing. The beautiful large-format all-color photography does justice to these amazing works. One of the most important artists in the field.

Doll making at its best!.......2002-01-18

You don't have to be a doll collector to appreciate the art dolls created by Lisa Lichtenfels. Her dolls are more like people than anything else. The work she does with needle and thread, batting, wire and nylons is phenomenal. If you are a doll artist, then this is the book to take you to the next level in doll artistry. I would highly recommend this book for the art collector, doll collector as well as doll makers who want to become doll artists like Lisa.

Book Description

"Ambitious in its scope and interdisciplinary in its purview. . . . Without doubt future researchers will want to refer to Hanna's study, not simply for its rich bibliographical sources but also for suggestions as to how to proceed with their own work. Dance, Sex, and Gender will initiate a discussion that should propel a more methodologically informed study of dance and gender."—Randy Martin, Journal of the History of Sexuality

Customer Reviews:

A great book.......2003-08-16

I chanced upon this book when I was researching the origins of women's dance in the Middle East. The book was very helpful with this specific topic, and--more importantly--it helped me understand how dance, sex roles, sexuality, and culture intertwine. Hannah covers historic and contemporary dance forms from around the world. Highly recommended!
