Guide to Point Reyes for Avid Hikers.......2002-02-14

California and Oregon coasts are homes to much hidden beauties and treasures. The Point Reyes National Seashore is just one of the hidden pearls. "Exploring Point Reyes" is by far the most updated, complete, and enthusiastic guide to the seclusive peninsula about 25 miles northwest of San Francisco. Many Point Reyes guide books I found at the bookstore are outdated though they contribute an abundance of information.

"Exploring Point Reyes" refreshes the minds of those who dream of Point Reyes. The guide come with photos of Drakse Estero, Tomales Bay, the Point Reyes Lighthouse standing 330 steps down the valley on the tip of the peninsula, and more. The impact of Point Reyes is most dramatic at the meeting of land and sea. The guide has captured such beauty with the photos.

"Exploring Point Reyes" also provides information and cautionary advice about beaches within the national seashore. The book gives to direction to good protected beach for wading, picnicking, or just lying in the sun. The coverage on the Point Reyes Lighthouse is excellent. One of the greatest location for whale-watching is the lighthouse observation platform from December to April.

"Exploring Point Reyes" also satisfies the desires of adventurous hikers with info on less-known hiking trails. Trail maps are abundant in the book. The coverage on trails is divided into three types of terrain that distinguishes the trail systems of Point Reyes. Whether you're planning a camping trip, a hike-a-thon, or just a one-day photography session at Point Reyes, this book will allow you to see and experience the beauty of the Point Reyes peninsula. Avid hikers should not miss the book.

Book Description

Data in Three Dimensions: A Guide to ArcGIS 3D Analyst is a self-study workbook providing tutorial information and over 25 step-by-step exercises that show you how to manipulate surface data in a three-dimensional environment using ESRI's 3D Analyst extension to ArcGIS. Readers learn how to create TIN, raster, and 3D vector data; set 3D display properties such as sun position and vertical exaggeration; and display ordinary two-dimensional features such as rivers, roads, and buildings in 3D. Readers will also learn to navigate in real time through 3D terrain, perform line-of-sight and volume analysis, and convert between raster, TIN, and vector formats. New to 3D Analyst 8.2, users will be shown how to create 3D animated films that can be exported as avi (Audio Video Interleave) movie files. Exercises are easy to understand, with detailed discussions of data types and software functionality throughout. Designed for use with ArcGIS Desktop software, this book makes a great accompaniment to ArcGIS 3D Analyst versions 8.1 and higher.

Customer Reviews:

If you use 3D Analyst - you need this book.......2004-03-12

Kennedy's style - clear, friendly and to the point - serves as a great example of how tutorials should be written. The easy to understand writing and well-thought-out steps pleasantly disguise the volume of information in this book. After finishing the exercises, I feel that I can do just about anything I want with 3D Analyst and I didn't have to endure the typical learning-as-punishment writing style that I have battled with so many other software tutorials. If you are using or are interested in using 3D analyst, I highly recommend this book!

Book Description

A valuable addition to any artist's library, this rich resource offers a practical, comprehensive, and historically and visually inclusive introduction to drawing dimensions. It provides an extensive background of ideas, materials, exercises, exemplars and questions, and includes many innovative and provocative ways of looking at the subject to stimulate individual progress. Containing a virtual treasury of illustrations, it presents a global selection of varied conceptual and perceptional works in many materials and styles - from familiar masterworks to current exemplars, and from student works, featuring those of Josef Albers in the '50's to contemporary students at Cooper Union. Formats material into eight sections composed of discrete "restructurable" units which may be combined (or omitted) to suit individual needs. Presents examples from many historical periods, and contains drawings that emphasize a diverse population of both Eastern and Western artists. Its extensive illustration program features Renaissance, Impressionist, Post Impressionist, Cubists, Pop, Optical and other artists, plus a wealth of striking drawings of lesser known and contemporary artists. Breaks new ground with its focus on perceptual basics, and offers a detailed summary of anatomy, with a full 3-unit treatment of skeletal and muscular structure. Also includes a complete overview of traditional tools and materials, as well as suggestions for innovative techniques and alternative mark-making equipment.

A very inspiring book.......2002-10-06

I have many books on drawing, including Betty Edwards and Nicolaides, which are excellent books. But Drawing Dimensions is the one that has helped me most. The different aspects of drawing (line, tone, etc) are shown in such a way that you are led to explore new roads and can not help but be creative.

Good.......2007-07-13

This book is ok. It has a lot of great websites and rescue orginizations. I would buy it more for the references than the writing.

Sound, practical advice........2006-06-16

Newkirk did the homwork, you just put her simple, excellent ideas into practice. That's it really. And, she lists these wonderful ideas in a non-threatening manner, so it's just a matter of using the ideas that you are comfortable with.

You Can Save the Animals.......2006-02-28

This amazing book begins with a chapter entitled "Who are animals?". In this chapter and throughout the book, Newkirk relates many beautiful stories that challenge our assumptions about animals' intelligence, emotions and experience of life. For readers who feel overwhelmed by the amount of cruelty in the world, Newkirk (the author) suggests simple actions we can all take to help animals. These include rescue of stray animals, purchasing cruelty-free products, adopting animals from shelters, and much more. Overall, this book is a good introduction to animal issues and will benefit anyone who has ever asked, "What can I do?"

Life-changing, still available used or through PETA.......2004-01-31

This book should be mandatory reading for everyone. It's easy to ignore the suffering of others (animals in this case, but this goes for people too) if you can tell yourself that you don't know about it, but once you're confronted with facts _and_ with a vast range of options to make a positive change, then the choice, and the responsibility, is yours.
Knowing that millions of animals are killed in shelters every year, will you put off spaying/neutering your pet? Once you're aware of the horrific fur farming practices, will you knowingly decide to put vanity ahead of the animals' welfare and choose a mink coat instead of an equally attractive and warm coat made of man-made materials?
This book is listed as out of print, but you can still buy it used here on amazon, or new directly from PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) at www.peta.org

Shocking........2003-02-17

After reading this book, I feel happy knowing that by being a vegetarian, I'm not contributing towards the pain and suffering of animals.
At times, this book was really hard to read. It's hard to imagine that people can be so thoughtless and cruel to animals. I think that everyone should read this book because it will give them a better understanding of things like the circus, fur & leather, fishing and many other things involving animals.

A comprehensive book for the advanced hobby gardener.......1999-07-25

This book gives a good overview for a hobby gardener who wants to know more about Camellias. Trehane deals in the first chapters with the history of Camellias and their "botanical context" and provides on about 50 pages everything a non-specialist needs to know. The next chapter, about as long, summarizes all necessary information regarding cultivation. Further sections are the use of Camellias in the garden, 3 pages with hintes how to exhibit Camellias, 13 pages about pests and diseases. Finally Trehane introduces a selection of popular Camellias (35 pages). The book concludes with some useful addresses. This book is not an encyclopedia with rich illustrations, but it is helpful and useful for a gardener who tries to learn more about Camellias and to grow them successfully.

Book Description

This is the book everyone has been waiting for-an inspiring celebration of the joy, challenges, and triumphs of being African American. Combine Ilyana Vanzant and Terry McMillan, then include a dash of E. Lynn Harris, and you've got Chicken Soup for the African American Soul. This book captures the spirit of the community through inspiring storytelling that understands both the struggles and joys of being African American. From Jim Crow to the Civil Rights movement to today's business leaders and gangsta culture, this book is a primer on black history. And like all Chicken Soup books, it's a moving tribute to the small things-a moment of insight, a mentor, a lover, the loss of innocence-that make life worth living. This great volume is focused on representing all facets of African American life-man and woman; young and old; rural, suburban, and urban; rich and poor; race conscious and mostly color-blind. Chapters Include: Celebrating Our Strength, Strong Roots, The African American Family, Love and Relationships, The Power of Community, Praise, Worship and Prayer Featured Celebrities Include: Maya Angelou, Angela Davis, E. Lynn Harris, Yolanda King (daughter of Martin Luther King), Muhammad Ali, Mean Joe Green, Bishop T.D. Jakes, Bill Cosby, Colin Powell

Customer Reviews:

great book.......2005-12-31

I had shunned the chicken soup series a few years ago. As inspirational as they were they were not representative of the diversity in the western world and too eurocentric. When I heard about this book I thought I'd give it a try and it's nice to read something different yet very inspirational at the same time. It helped me understand a culture different from mine yet similar at the same time. I hope a chicken soup for the south asian's soul will be next, profiling stories of those who trace their origins to the indian subcontinent and relating to their religions, cultural values and so forth in the north american context.

The Best Stories About African Americans with a positive taste........2005-10-25

I am still reading the my book, but so far have enjoyed it immensely. The book is the best I've read from the Chicken soup for the Soul writers. I've enjoyed all the materials they written. I've shared them with lots of my friends. But this one is Special. I've told my friends that they need to purchase this book. Most excellent educational reading stories.

I've just purchased Chicken Soup for the Soul Bible. It is excellent.

Your Soul will be uplifted!.......2005-04-14

I have read many in the chicken Soup for the Soul series and like me many of you might only buy the ones that seem to call to you like if your a mother you get the mother one and if your a sister you get that one etc... But I tell you this sometimes you learn your best lessons or gain more from books that are not in your normal realm of reading or that has a cultural background that is not the same as yours. I mention this because I am Caucasian/American Indian and I learned more and received more from this book in the series than any other one I have read. The stories made me laugh, cry and rejoice! Here are some of my favorites in the order in which I was moved by their stories... Confessions of an Ex-Con By Dennis Mitchell, Something Unbelievable (Mary Spio) , Ripples in the pond (Tyrone Dawkins) The Opening of a New World (Malcom X) Black Children DO read (Wade Hudson) Remembering Eric (Tracy-Clausell- Alexander) In Sickness and in Health ( Dorothy C. Randle) It Runs in the Family (Jarralynne Agee), Life After Death ( Ivonne Pointer).

As an avid reader and member of Oprah's book club I read a lot of books. "Confessions of an Ex-Con" by Dennis Mitchell was one of the most powerful stories I have ever read. WOW, talking about someone who has overcome obstacles and uses those experiences in his seminars to help others transform their lives! This book is a MUST read. My life has been forever changed for the better. Dennis Keep using the talents God has given you to make a difference.

Sharing Cultural Values.......2005-01-25

I had to buy this book when my friend Nikki Shearer-Tilford told me that the story she wrote, I am My Sister's Keeper, had been published in this book. I read her story first, which I knew would be insightful and really touch my heart so deeply that I wanted to read more of her stories. I started reading the other stories and I felt good that we as African Americans can share our experiences so that the other cultures will have a better understanding of who we are as a people. We as a people have suppressed our emotions and feelings for so many centuries for fear of retribution by the dominant culture that the stories gave me a sense of joy and love to be able to finally write about our experiences on how we continue to overcome every day. Now we must share these stories with our children to strengthen them and show them the path that God has ordained for all of his children who step out on faith no matter where the road leads. I'm purchasing another book for a young lady I know who is feeling the pain and of others who are suffering and she doesn't know how to help them. I think the stories will encourage her and renew her faith in God.

Embrace Culture and Lift Your Soul.......2005-01-06

This collection of stories embraces African-American culture by nurturing the soul and encouraging one to excel in all things. The stories deal with our history, family, the power of praise and worship, lessons learned over time, triumph over controversies, accepting who you are and making a difference in the world. The stories will leave you feeling loved and filled with confidence about being African-American.

Everyone needs to read a warm, loving and inspiring story every now and then. All of the stories are uplifting, but there were a few that especially tugged at my heartstrings. "I Owe You an Apology" pays tribute to our African-American men by honoring their greatness instead of constantly complaining about their shortcomings. "Where's Your Notebook?" describes one father's weekly lessons to his sons, each family should be so involved. "The Lady at the Bus Stop" acknowledges the privilege of education while recognizing that someone else paved the way before her.

I plan on purchasing this book for all of my friends and family, as it is one to be shared. This is one to keep in your personal library, next to the bed or on your bookshelf at work and to hand down for generations. No matter what your problem, Chicken Soup for the African-American Soul can see you through.
