Mojave Desert Wildflowers: A Field Guide to Wildflowers, Trees, and Shrubs of the Mojave Desert, Including the Mojave National Preserve, Death Valley National Park, and Joshua Tree National Park

Book Description

The Mojave Desert eco-region extends from eastern California to northwestern Arizona, southern Nevada, and southwestern Utah, and boasts plant communities as diverse as alkali sinks, dune systems, Joshua tree woodland, pinyon juniper woodland, mixed mojave scrub, and even riparian woodland. Mojave Desert Wildflowers will be appreciated not only by amateur wildflower enthusiasts, but experts will also find the detailed photographs and charts useful in distinguishing among similar species in difficult groups. Species are arranged by color and plant family for easy identification. This guide features 300 of the common species, full-color photographs, detailed descriptions, information on bloom season, and interesting facts about each plant.

Extremely Easy To Use.......2006-04-16

This is probably the easiest to use desert plant book I have (and I have eight that focus on desert plants in all). What it lacks in completeness, it more than makes up for in terms of ease of use. There is a picture for each plant and the plants are grouped according to flower color. So as long as the plant is in bloom, it's not too hard to find out what it is. This book does a great job of covering the plants you are most likely to come across which makes it a great book to thumb through in the field. If you are dealing with similar species within the same genus or rare plants, you'll probably want to get the Jepson guide.

Beautiful pix, helpful text.......2005-09-02

I love these Falcon guides mainly because of the lavish color illustrations. Every flower in the book has its own color picture, along with helpful descriptions. The front matter in this book includes all sorts of background material about the Mojave, along with the usual educational stuff about plant types, leaf distribution, etc. And the book is made to last -- if you take any care of it at all, it will last you forever.

Great book.......2005-02-12

Money well spent. We are ready for wildflower season! A lot of color pictures with good information. If you live in or near the Mojave Desert this is a valuable book.

A Gorgeous, Informative, Sturdy Field Guide.......2003-07-15

Pam MacKay's 'Mojave Desert Wildflowers' is a wonderfully informative & beautifully photographed guide to the wildflowers of the Mojave. This sturdy plastic-coated field guide contains over 300 gorgeous photos, finely detailed plant descriptions, and is virtually an introductory textbook on Mojave Desert ecology. I highly recommend this book to anyone who appreciates the Mojave Desert. The author lives & teaches in the Mojave and her dedication, attention to detail, and love of the desert are revealed on every page.

Great Illustrations.......2007-03-24

The plant illustrations presented in this book are both a strength and a weakness. While the drawings are superbly done, it would have been better to have photographs of actual plants. I really hate myself for saying that, but it is the honest truth. I have several desert plant books, and while this is not the most useful book in my collection, it is a highly valuable supplement that I use quite often. The descriptions of the plants are useful and the organization of the book makes it easy to use. In general, this book is nice to have as a second opinion in those cases where you feel unsure or tentative about the identification of a plant specimen. It won't help you with rare plants and in most cases it won't help you with difficult to distinguish species and varieties, but it's a great general purpose book. My desert plant book collection would be very incomplete without it and I use it often enough to have more than justified purchasing it!

good overall book.......2007-09-11

i like this book since it covers all of southern utah. the feature i use most often and like best is the way they rate all the hikes. i do what i can and can't do, how long it will take and whether or not it's appropriate for kids. it also gives useful information such as average temperatures and nearby towns and what they have available such as restaurants, showers, laundry, stores, etc.

Great trail descriptions.......2007-02-15

A great guide. Not only does it have the usual food and lodging recommenddations of usual guidbooks it also has great trail descriptions. this was the main reason I bought the book. Each trail guide is headed by distance, duration, Elevation cahnge, Effort and trailhead location. This info helped me narrow down the best hikes for my allowed time. Three good color maps in the front of the book: Southern Utah, Zion and Bryce, plus the various maps in the book with major roads and unpaved roads in the hiking areas. Highly recommennded especially for planning day hiking trips.

Very Helpful.......2007-01-10

I was planning a photo trip to utah and so collected a large number of books on the area. I would rate this book as one of the best and most useful. It gives very handy hints on planning your trip. Most guides have so much info you can't wade through it all. This Moon guide assumes you have only a limited amount of time and helps you make decisions appropriatley. Highly recommended.

A handy at-a-glance map on the back places all in perspective, while pages of detail cover everything from accommodations to day trips and overnight camping in each park. Accommodations are broken down by price ranges, hiking trails and scenic drives are outlined, and tips on making the most of each park's unique scenic attractions keep Zion & Bryce useful.

Book Description

Diana, the Princess of Wales, was one of the most publicly covered figures in the modern world. Known as "the people's princess," Diana captivated all who knew her. Much has already been written about her life, both professionally and personally, but until now no one has told her story in the way that only one man can-Paul Burrell-whom she described as both "her rock" and "the only man I can trust."

Now comes the long awaited book, A ROYAL DUTY by Paul Burrell, the man in whom she confided on matters big and small. Paul, one of the Queen's personal footmen, met Diana during one of her first visits to Balmoral Castle. And while it may have been fate that brought them together, they shared a strong bond that endured to the end of her life. Burrell became Diana's confidant and his unique perspective casts new light on the Princess of Wales and the events that would shape her life and the lives of those around her.

At the time of her death there was much speculation about Diana's future plans including her thoughts about remarrying and the possibility of relocating to America. Paul, who was one of the last people to speak with her, hopes to set the record straight for the Princess he so admired and cherished. Drawing on private conversations, personal recollections, diaries and letters, Paul has written an extraordinary account of a unique time in the history of the Royal Family.

When asked why he wrote the book, this is what Paul had to say. "I have made this book as true to her spirit as possible-as inspiring, as loving, as fun. Over the last six years I've had time to reflect on the extraordinary events that I have witnessed. During that time, I have watched and listened patiently as many individuals have claimed to know the truth about the Princess of Wales. I have watched and listened knowing that what was claimed to be the truth is actually far from it. I decided reluctantly to tell what I know to be the truth because I firmly believe that someone has to stand in the Princess' corner and fight for her now that she cannot do so. I welcome the official inquest into her death and it is my hope that it will uncover what really happened that night in Paris. I never thought that I would need to write this book but then I never thought that I would need to redress the balance. I never thought that I would need to defend the Princess against untruths from many different quarters. I was devoted to the Royal Family for many years-first to the Queen, then to the Prince of Wales and finally to the Princess and I remain a loyal subject. But I believe that it is important that the truth is known NOW rather than waiting for the details to emerge in official papers when they are released in 25 years."

Beautifully Written & Wonderfully Candid.......2007-07-28

Being a tremendous fan of H.R.H. Diana,Princess of Wales, I was fully prepared to read the butler's account of what he thought he knew about Diana and the royal family. I was not prepared to read anything of substance other than a bit of inside information that only someone who had been in service would know. I was therefore delighted and very well pleased that what I was reading was so much more than I ever thought it could or would be. Paul Burrel has put his heart and soul on the line in order to give us the Diana we all wanted her to be. Her impact on the Burrell family, most especially Paul, was enormous and not unlike the indelible impression she left on the world. Her life with H.R.H. Charles, Prince of Wales and heir to the throne was told with sincerity, empathy and the candour of someone who knew both intimately because he served both. His experiences went beyond serving the Prince and Princess and were preceded with 10 years of personal service to Her Majesty, the Queen. To say, simply, that he knew the entire family is an understatement of import, for Paul Burrell was privvy to more and trusted much more than a regular servant would be in the royal households. Diana trusted him implicitly but not immediately. Such was her mistrust of all highly placed staff members and such was the uncertainty that came from within. Paul takes us on the journey of his life with the "Royals" and his incredible closeness to the Princess of Wales. I was truly swept away by his brilliant insights, his love and caring for Diana and the fact that even through death no secret would be revealed to the world that ought not to have been. When Paul sat with the Princess in Paris, after her death, his pain was palpable and his "Royal Duty" had not ended with this tragic event. In many ways, it never would and never can. This is the "Must Read" of all that has been written about this lovely woman who became the heart and soul of a nation and an ambassador of light and goodness to the world.

Getting to know the Royals.......2007-07-05

Paul Burrell has written a wonderful book on the Royal Family and his dedicated service of more than two decades. He shares an insider's view of life in the palaces. He gives his readers a detailed perspective of what it's like being a servant and working his way up to higher positions with more responsibilities and interacting with the Royals. The reader learns of a warm, personal side to the Queen whom he served as her personal footman for several years. I truly believe Mr. Burrell became Princess Diana's personal friend and confidant. It's obvious from what he shares from his heart and in his story. I found myself standing next to Mr. Burrell at each phase of his journey in the life of the Royals. The hardest part was realizing that I was getting towards the end of the book. I am happy to hear Mr. Burrell has another book out soon so I can take another journey with him in remembering Princess Diana.

A very very good book.......2007-06-29

I liked this book very much. Paul starts out with a behind the scenes view
of what life was like in Buckingham Palace for a "servant". Very informative and entertaining. He details how he came to be and what it was like to be Lady Di's butler and how his relationship with her changed
over the years. If you want to know what Lady Di was like as his "boss",
her relationship with her boys and with the rest of the Royal Family, and the paparatizzi,
you should read this book as well as his followup book "The Way We Were". I believe there was no one closer to her on a daily basis the last few years of her life than Paul Burrell.

A Royal Duty.......2007-05-07

What a beautifully written book. It seemed to speak right from Paul Burrell's heart! I was filled with emotion the whole time I was reading it! I never wanted to put this book down. If you love Diana, you'll most likely love this book!

Most revealing and excellent book about Princess Diana.......2007-03-26

Paul Burrell has written the best read on Princess Diana that has been written to date. It is better than The Truth by Judy Wade - it allows you to feel as if you knew Diana personally! He was a totally devoted butler, friend, confidente, and the one who stood by her side long after her death! Yea for Paul!

The Wonderful Art of Patrick Demarchelier.......2002-12-13

Patrick Demarchelier is one of the best artist of this age; his Photographs are pieces of history. Into this book you'll find his masterpieces: emotions in B&W!

Extremely Good Photography.......2002-02-05

A must own book for people that love b&w photography. Patrick is excellent at getting the perfect angle for the image. The way the natural light and shadows enhance the objects is great. The true persons are drawn by the way the pictures are taken.

Beautiful Display of photography.......2001-07-20

My 12 year old saw this book on one of the display tables, picked it up... for the cover (naked lady) and glanced through it. He then later came running up to me saying... Please buy this book. The pictures are excellent. Well now, my son is interested in photography as a hobby.

Superb Portraits!.......2001-03-14

This is one of the best books of portraits that it has been my pleasure to view.

Before going further, let me observe that the book contains much female nudity that would earn an "R" rating if this were a motion picture.

Glenn O'Brien in the book's introduction captures the essence of the book well, "The beauty standard is being raised once again."

Whether the subjects are beautiful (and many are) or not, the result is the same -- a deep look into the personality and character of the model done in large, vivid detail in wonderfully contrasting duotone. One of the best tests for this book is to compare the celebrity images you see here with others you have seen of these same people. These images are more warm, more revealing, and more fun to see. Mr. Demarchelier has a light touch that gets out the happiest version of a person. You'll find yourself laughing and smiling your way through this collection, for sure.

The portraits displayed here are uniformly of very high quality, and provide nice contrasts of subjects (nose rings, boulders, children, and elephants among the beautiful people).

Here are some of my many favorites:

Nude, St. Barthelemy, 1994

Her Royal Highness, The Princess of Wales, London, 1993

Warren Beatty, Annette Bening and their daughter, Los Angeles, 1994

Arthur Demarchelier, New York, 1991

Patrick and Mia Demarchelier and their three sons, New York, 1987

Meg Ryan, New York, 1994

Claudia Schiffer, St. Barthelemy, 1991

Paul Newman, Beacon, New York, 1994

Elle Macpherson, New York, 1990

Cindy Crawford, New York, 1990

After you look closely at these images, notice how lines and flaws provide balance and perspective in the same way that perfect figures provide proportion. How can you create more waves of enjoyable symmetry?

Drink deeply from the bubbling joy of humanity!

Beautiful.......2000-06-23

This depicts some of what we know and expect of Mr. Demarchelier. His ability to capture so much in a photograph, in a look, is what makes him so incredible as an artist. If you are a fan of his work, this work should be part of your collection.

Book Description

The unique vision of photographer Patrick Demarchelier is instantly recognizable in the pages of fashion and culture magazines across the globe. He has captured the world's best - known faces and models wearing the latest couture season after season. Yet beyond the inconstancy of celebrity and fashion, the focus of Demarchelier's photography is consistently form.

For this book, Demarchelier has selected his most successful and striking images to make a multi-faceted artistic statement. Portraits of personalities ranging from Princess Diana to boxer Oscar de la Hoya are juxtaposed with Demarchelier's most iconic fashion images as well as unpublished work that includes safari animals and sumo wrestlers, people from exotic lands, and evocative underwater nudes that showcase the sensual female form.

For anyone with a finger on the pulse of photography, fashion, and art, Forms is not to be missed.

Customer Reviews:

A real master's work.......2000-08-24

This is real impressive in term of b&w photography. I like his creative composition and expression of forms. It is more than beautiful pic and model, and impressive techniques. The variety of subject is another good reason to get this one.

Master Portrait Photography.......1999-09-24

What Galen Rowell does for mountains, Patrick Demarchelier does for living subects. He captures the character, the inner self, the most basic essence of a subject and capture it on black and white film. It's as if he breaths on his photographs and they come to life. He does it for Hillary Clinton, he does it for giraffes--all mesmerizing to look at. I wish he could photograph everyone in the world--it would be a so much more interesting place if all the static, cliche portraits were replaced with his vivid work. The book includes color and magazine shoots, too--which prove the range of his talent. Who else could capture a different facet of the exhaustively photographed Linda Evangelista in every shot? Or make the form, the line of a model reclining on a whitewashed wall as interesting as the model's beauty? A really great book of pictures whose character, form, lines will entrance any viewer.This book -- or should I say Demarchelier's work--deserves more than five stars. How about ten?

FORMS.......1999-04-12

Patrick has done it again! Pictures from recent harpers bazaar shoots and the beautiful portraits of Princess Diana are in this book. Everybody should purchase this book.

yearning for fashion photography.......1999-01-11

Patrick Demarchelier's mastery of tecnique and abundance of creativity is unique and deserves to be fully explored in this unmissable book. Fashion photography lovers must thank Harper's Bazaar's genius for its continous stimulation of our senses. Thank you, thank you Pat.

Beautiful collection of work.......2007-08-28

This book was put to gether by the Tony Shafrazi Gallery in 1997 and holds an excellent overview of Demarchalier's vision. Almost exclusively presented in B&W, with the cover photograph being a notable small exception, Demarchalier's work covers portraits, stars, fabulous nobodies and African animals in equal brilliance. Covering a large time period, the most amazing point about the overall presentation is how fresh and modern they all look, together and alone. 10 years on from the book's debut, Demarchelier is still aging quite gracefully.

Some photographers have an overall style you just 'get'. Each one of their compositions somehow sings to you personally. Demarchalier achieves that with me, and reminds me why I love this art in the first place.

A must-have for any modern photography afficiando. Hard-to-find though.
