Good Reference for Texas and Louisiana.......2006-06-07

This is a good book on wildflowers, vines, shrubs, trees of Texas and adjoining parts of Louisiana. Pictures are generally very good and are grouped by color and in a section by themselves. Each picture has a number reference and looking up the number gives you plant ID information and a range map. My biggest criticism of the book is that it just doesn't cover enough species - for what it does cover, it is excellent.

More than just a great little field guide...........2001-06-15

I own several field guides to Texas wildflowers, and I find this one to be the best among them. There are books with bigger and better photographs, but none come close to having the nearly 400 color photos this one has. This one also has maps of growing areas for each plant identified and very clear descriptions of each plant. It even has sections on Texas' endangered species and landscaping with native plants.

The book divides the plants into five sections for easy use. The wildflowers are further divided into colors to help find and identify them quickly. The five sections are (1) herbaceous wildflowers, (2) vines, (3) trees and shrubs, (4) cacti, agaves, yuccas and other succulents, and (5) miscellaneous plants, weeds and growths on trees. These are followed by appendices on how to identify common plant families and "plant watching" as a hobby (collecting plants, how to make a plant press and save your specimens, and a sample wildflower documentation sheet). Finally, there are three glossaries and an index.

While some might complain that the plant photographs are not printed with the specimen entries (they are grouped together in the center of the book), this is really quite handy. Each photo is numbered identically with the entries, so matching the photo with the description is really very simple. Indeed, it is quite easy to find the flower by its photo and then look up the corresponding plant description by the photo number.

All in all, this is the only wildflower field guide Texans will need. If you want a desk reference, that's another matter.

Book Description

What is there of Jewish interest to see in Bombay? In Casablanca? Where are the kosher restaurants in Seattle? How did the Jewish community in Hong Kong originate? The Jewish Traveler: Hadassah Magazine's Guide to the World's Jewish Communities and Sights provides this information and much more.

...the whole world's Jewish!.......2000-08-15

I bought the book because I love the travel articles in Hadassah Magazine. They are consistently fascinating and well written. The book offers Jewish history, customs, and local color of 100 places, both familiar and exotic. Only two things could make it better: I miss the photos that are published in the magazine; and the articles should be dated. It's still worth reading, even if not current, but since phone numbers, restaurants and hotels change over time, readers should know when each article was written.

world of jewish interest.......2000-05-27

The articles are detailed and interesting. HOwever, the book does not cover asia or the south pacific so it is not good as a guide to world jewish travel. The Ben Frank book lists more restaurants but this book tells you the historic significance and current sites of interest to the jewish traveller.

Nice step by step layout.......2003-03-19

As a new homeowner, and a new resident of PA, this book has been exactly what I needed. It clearly shows step by step what needs to be done when, from when to seed a lawn to when water plants can go into the pond. It has helped me tremendously in learning some basics of garden care, as well as the particular growing cycles of my newly adopted home.

Month-by-Month.......2001-05-20

I was very excited to purchase this book when i read it was about the Pennsylania area. Our state! My area has a short warm season. This being the reason I wanted to learn about plants that do well in my town. Well I was not as excisted once I began to read. The book left me alittle disappointed. Hoping for a better summary of what is best to plant. It is broken down in to month by month catagories ie. annuals, trees, rose etc. Basically repeating the same info over and over from section to section. I would have really injoyed some visual pictures. This would have sparked some greater depth to the book. Needless to say, this book doesn't teach me anything more than I already know.

Not very useful........1999-03-09

Nothing more than you can get from manufacturer's literature. A comparison of features for the various models.

Decent book to have for the price, but not very extensive........1999-01-17

This book goes into the features available with each of the cameras, but doesn't teach you anything that you wouldn't already know from reading the camera's manual. It is a decent reference to have when comparing each of the camera's. I've read my copy and haven't touched it since though. There is a (very) short section about the history of Pentax.
