Not Good Enough.......2007-09-17

This was written for young people, which is commendable, but it was also infected with politically correct observations along the way. I wanted my homeschool group to learn historical facts, not be indoctrinated. I returned the book.

Book Description

“There are many families where the whole interest in life is centered upon the dog,” wrote Jerome K. Jerome in 1889, and any devoted dog person would agree that the same is true today.

There’s a tale behind every family dog. The Family Dog celebrates the oft-told stories of love and devotion, of astonishing daring or colossal mishap, recounted by an eclectic group of writers, including E. B. White, James Thurber, Dave Barry, Jack London, Caroline Knapp, and David Sedaris. Here are stories about the Airedale who bit, well, almost everyone; the collie who traveled fourteen miles over frozen pastures to reunite with his family; the poodle with the bluest eyes; the Great Dane who had business to do; the pug who ate three socks and a T-shirt in one sitting; the boxer who only answered to one name: Food; and the dachshund who even disobeyed when asked to do something he wanted to do.

Illustrated with stunning black-and-white photographs from many diverse sources, this book confirms that, quite often, the most popular family member is the one with four legs.

Book Description

Additional nose art and unusual markings as seen on today's B-52s, B-1Bs , FB-111s, F-16s, F-4s, and many others, including Desert Storm markings., over 700 color photographs, 9" x 12"

Book Description

Today's nose art has become the rule and not the exception throughout the bomber and tanker fores of Strategic Air Command, and although Tactical Air Command frowns on non-standard markings of any sort, several TAC gained Air National Guard units have artwork on their aircraft. Tradition plays a large part in modem nose art. As shown in Randy Walkers' new book cartoons and sexy ladies have returned. Names like "Memphis Belle", "Chow Hound" and "Maid in the USA", that once went to war on B-17s and B-24s are now carried by B-52s and FB-111s, as well as many other modem aircraft. This modem nose art is often applied by a professional artist, though it is sometimes painted by members of the unit, and in the process some excellent artwork has been created., over 650 color photographs, 9" x 12"

Customer Reviews:

A handy little gem.......2002-02-16

I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves his/her cutting garden, and starts dreaming of the possibilities the day after Christmas! This isn't an book you get lost in all day while your family goes hungry, it's a handy and informative book with a simple mission-- pointing you to the best varieties to cut and bring inside, but with beautiful photos of every entry that you will refer to again and again. I like the fact that this book is small; so is my yard, and there are more must-tries here than I can accomodate any time soon.

Lovely rose designs.......1999-11-11

There are three sheets of heavy white plastic of 11 different rose patterns. Some are graceful sprays that could be used for borders, and some are single flowers - some in full-bloom and some just buds. Anything you might want is probably here. You can also use portions of the designs with success.

Book Description

A fresh look at the laws of nature, in startling, beautiful, and at times unsettling detail.

Working with a menagerie of insects and animals she raises in her New York City studio, Catherine Chalmers makes images that ask us to examine the lives we ordinarily overlook. What we find is by turns surprising, humorous, and thought
provoking.

In the series of photographs that gives the book its title, Chalmers vividly sketches the links between predator and prey, eater and eaten, from plant to insect to amphibian. Against a stark white background, caterpillars eat a tomato, a praying mantis eats a caterpillar, and a frog and a tarantula each eat a praying mantis. Another section, focused on "pinkies" (the pet-trade name for baby mice), shows with chilling clarity that the laws of nature apply equally to mammals as to the so-called "lower" life-forms. A series of photographs of praying mantises mating-during and after which the female devours the male-captures the metaphorical power and strange beauty of this infamous habit. The book includes an essay by the critically acclaimed nature writer Gordon Grice and a provocative interview with Chalmers by Aperture executive editor Michael L. Sand.

Customer Reviews:

Excellent & Odd.......2006-10-13

This book is truly odd, but weirdly invigorating. Anyone who ever had a pet give birth, be it a hamster or a dog, will find the section on pinkies unsettling. I think this is a great book.

it's like a car accident.......2002-04-23

I must say this is a pretty cool book although not for the squeamish. Graphic full color photographs that read like crime scene photographs or stills from a horror movie.

There's the sexy display between two praying mantis before the male becomes a post-coitus snack. Another praying mantis dances merrily on the head of a fat shiny toad before meeting its inevitable end. Caterpillars greedily gorge themselves on tomatoes only to be sucked dry by more ever present praying mantis.

The most graphic scenes though are the ones with the pinkies. Pinkies being born amongst a white blood smeared backdrop only to be gobbled up by another fat toad.

It's sick to look at and even a bit morbid at times, but it's Mother Nature and a testament to the circle of life and the survival of the fittest.

cool photographs.......2001-09-08

Truly fascinating but not for those with weak stomachs.

The book consists of excellent photographs of various critters (bugs, frogs, spiders, mice, snakes, etc.) eating or being eaten by others. Not for the squeamish.

The more prudish reader might also be disgusted by the scenes of hot, steamy preying mantis sex.

For those with the stomach for it, the material presented in this work provides a fascinating and detailed view of a small part of the world we live in.

Fantastic. Brilliant. Phenomena and Occasionally Revolting........2001-02-28

Fantastic. Brilliant. Phenomena and Occasionally Revolting. I want more.

"Life is Hard and Then You Die," I saw this bumper sticker on the rear of a car about the same time I got "FoodChain." I felt that this would be a great subtitle for this provocative book. The photography is stunning and Aperture, one of the leading publishers of fine art photography, has done a dazzling job in portraying the moments between life and death. Catherine Chalmers has given the layperson insight into the world that we live in but seldom see. Her progressive plates vividly take you from birth to death and then back again to birth. Caterpillar eats tomato, praying mantis eats caterpillar, tarantula and a frog eat praying mantis, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.

If you thought sex was fatal because of the roulette of disease in our world today, consider the bazaar appreciation that a male praying mantis gets from his lover. Chalmers captures the strange "thank you" the female gives by devouring the male-head first. This book is a collectible and should be in your hands and library. Highly Recommended

Shocking, yet beautiful.......2000-05-15

This book contains stunning, yet extremely graphic photography which portrays animals, such as frogs, praying mantises, and tarantulas in mating dances, meeting their prey, and devouring fruit. While you can't say that "no animals were harmed in the making of this book" it is a book that brings you face-to-face with animals in their natural behavior. It is a wonderful book and is worth checking out.
