Awesome book.......2007-03-13
I bought this book when I was a kid from a book fair or something and it was one of my favorites. It had all these different facts about killer plants and I was all like "whoa, that is totally radical!" and made that face that kids have in commercials when they enjoy the product being sold. Anyway, it's a great book with amazing photographs.
Don't bother with this one..........2006-06-01
older title, thin paperback book. there is so much better out

Book Description
The Dorylaimida represent a large and very important group of soil and freshwater inhabiting nematodes of great agricultural importance. Both in appearance and mode of life they represent a wide diversity and as a consequence the number of species and higher taxa that have been described hitherto is the highest within Nematoda. The identification of species, genera, families, etc. of Dorylaimida is very difficult and at times causes problems for the specialist too. The large number of species on the one hand and often the meagre descriptions on the other make even well-known taxonomists to look at Dorylaimida with great hesitation and desperation. M. Shamim Jairajpuri and Wasim Ahmad have undertaken a great task in summarizing, evaluating and systematizing all the knowledge that has been published so far.

Book Description
As a trekking destination the Italian Dolomites has few peers. Juxtaposing dramatic mountain scenery with picture-perfect Tyrolean villages, and flower-filled alpine meadows with poignant WWI battlefields, this small yet exquisite range rarely fails to enchant and beguile those who visit. This guide has been re-researched and updated to include the two most popular long-distance hikes in the Dolomites--the Alta Via 1 (AV1) and the Alta Via 2 (AV2) as well as shorter walks.
The Alta Via 1 is the classic high level traverse of the Venetian Dolomites, from north to south. It's a nine to fouteen day walk which begins at Lago di Braies in Val Pusteria running along a trail which connects a network of high mountain refuges south to Belluno. The Alta Via 2 is the longest alta via of them all, taking ten to sixteen days.
>55 detailed trekking maps--showing route times, places to stay, and points of interest:
>Alta Via 1 (nine-fourteen days)
>Alta Via 2 (ten-sixteen days)
>15 short treks (one-five days)
>Practical information--planning the trip and getting to Italy from other countries in Europe, North America, and Australasia
>Historical and cultural background--with comprehensive sections on the legends and culture of the indigenous Ladin people
>Cortina, Bolzano, and ten other towns and villages--detailed street plans, where to stay, where to eat, what to see, and getting to the start of a trek
>Green hiking, health, and safety--how to stay healthy on a hike and minimize impact on a fragile region
>Italian language section
>Flora and fauna--four-page full-color guide to the flowers of the Dolomites, plus an illustrated bird identification section

Book Description
Design is one of the most fascinating cultural phenomena of the 20th century. This publication outlines the pioneer years of modern design history, tracing the development of the classic avantgarde design from 1880 to 1930 and showing 200 originals which have passed through the hands of Düsseldorf-based art dealer and collector Torsten Bröhan.
Customer Reviews:
more for looking at than reading.......2003-05-11
This is another one of those fairly good design books that relies far more on the images than on analysis and description. While the objects should certainly be able to speak for themselves, and they do, their age and what they meant at the time of their invention need far more explanation than is available here. Indeed, many pages have only a paragarph or less of text, a mere supplement to beautiful photos.
That being said, I learned a lot about the early history of industrial design from this book, from its origins as a reaction to the drab and near-featurelessness of early efforts to mass manufacture everyday objects to the abstract philosophy of the constructionists and the heavy duty functionalism of the Bauhaus. The longest treatment is rightfully reserved for Bauhaus and its immediate predecessors in the Werkbund, all Germans who were attempting to systematically merge artistic expression with the demands of industrial production, thereby creating a new movement. These developments are covered to a near-acceptable degree, but the language is confusing and often abstruce or cryptic and hence hard to understand. THe text also assumes a lot of knowledge and hence is not introductory, though at least it does not get lost in academic jargon.
I got the lightest introduction to the early history of industrial design in this book, but obviously I wanted more. I guess I will have to keep reading. Also, the Art Deco movement, which is a French/American development from the same period and largely a reaction to the utilitarianism and minimalism of the Germanic schools, is mentioned in a single paragraph and hence left completely unexplored.
One thing that really struck me was the direct line of continuity with much contemporary design. There must be subtle differences that I hope to discover later, but it made a lot of what I admire now look derivative. That was interesting and extremely stimulating.
Recommended as a starting point and a visual feast. It can be read at leisure in one day.

Book Description
When Cesar Chavez led a 340-mile peaceful protest march through California, he ignited a cause and improved the lives of thousands of migrant farmworkers. But he wasn't always a leader. As a boy he was shy, soft-spoken, and teased at school. He lived in ramshackle sheds and slaved as a field hand. He knew things had to change, and he thought that--maybe--he could help change them. So Cesar took charge. He spoke up--and an entire country listened.
An author's note provides context for the life of the inspiring civil rights leader.
