A Comprehensive Guide to the Parks........2005-11-24

So you're planning a vacation to one of the many wonderful national parks in CA and you want to know how best to enjoy your time there. Where do you turn? To Ann Marie Brown's '250 Great Hikes' of course. This book tells you the optimal times for visiting each of the 14 Parks and Monuments in California, provides directions to the parks and lodging information, and gives a list of trails you will want to explore while there. What more could one ask for?

All the hikes Brown covers in this guide are dayhikes. Each trail entry includes a description of the route, the mileage and level of difficulty, as well as scenic and historical highlights of the trail. Almost every hike description also includes a black and white photograph of the area. (Brown is at least as gifted a photographer as she is an outdoor writer.) Every "classic" hike is included: Damnation Creek in Redwood National Park, Half Dome in Yosemite, and the Congress Trail in Sequoia. Readers who have never been to these places will enjoy these trails. More experienced hikers will also find many lesser known gems tucked away in these pages. The Boole Tree Trail in Sequoia National Monument and the Merced Grove of Sequoias in Yosemite are two such examples.

I have hiked about 90 of the trails described in this book. All are winners. My wife and I will continue to use this guide on future trips. If you are looking for a travel guide to California's scenic wonders, this is the book to get.

Book Description

The curriculum materials presented in this guide explore the legacy of the Spanish-American War from a distinct point of view: that of the island nations in the Caribbean and the Pacific, nations whose destiny has been framed for centuries by the tension between foreign domination and the quest for independence. For these peoples, the war lives on, underlying profound questions of culture, society, and language, as well as political and economic issues. Among the vanquished, history is not forgotten.

This guide opens with an introductory chapter, addressed mainly to teachers, that examines the events of 1898 and their aftermath. Student lessons at the end of the chapter explore general themes regarding the role of interpretation in history.

The remainder of the book is dedicated to chapters on each of the countries that came under U.S. rule in this period. Each of the country-specific chapters includes a brief historical overview followed by a series of lessons, including suggested activities and corresponding handouts for students. Both the overviews and the handouts are written to be accessible to students at the secondary level. Terms that may be unfamiliar are signaled in each chapter overview and in each lesson, and are defined in a glossary at the back of the guide.

Student readings include a wealth of primary sources: newspaper articles and political cartoons from the time of the Spanish-American War, historical documents, personal testimonies, and more. Also included are a broad range of contemporary pieces, both fiction and nonfiction. The overall approach is multidisciplinary; many of the materials and activities included here can be used for classes in history, social studies or English, the suggested activities include role plays, debates, writing exercises, classroom discussions, and the creation of stories, poems or cartoons, among others.

Book Description

Falkland Islanders were the first British people to come under enemy occupation since the Channel Islanders during the Second World War. This book tells how islanders' warnings were ignored in London, how their slim defenses gave way to a massive invasion, and how they survived occupation. While some established a cautiously pragmatic modus vivendi with the occupiers, some Islanders opted for active resistance. Others joined advancing British troops, transporting ammunition and leading men to the battlefields. Islanders' leaders and 'trouble makers' faced internal exile, and whole settlements were imprisoned, becoming virtual hostages. A new chapter about Falklands history since 1982 reveals that while the Falklands have benefited greatly from Britain's ongoing commitment to them, a cold war continues in the south Atlantic. To the annoyance of the Argentines, the islands have prospered, and may now be poised on the brink of an oil bonanza.

Product Description

From the back cover: "'The Big Death' is a unique record of Solomon Islander experiences during the Pacific War. It was in the Solomon Islands that Allied forces turned the tide of the Pacific War, beginning with the U.S. landings on Guadalcanal and Nggela on 7 August 1942. Scores of books have been written about the momentous events that followed, but none have described the experiences of the Solomon Islands people who watched in amazement as their once remote islands became center stage for one of the greatest military conflicts the world has ever known. Their voices, often left out of written histories, speak not only about the critical roles they played coastwatching, fighting and working, but also about the meaning of wartime events for their culture and history. This book is also a contribution to Solomons Pijin literature. The stories are given in both English and Solomons Pijin, so that the book will have value not only as a record of this unique period in Solomon Islands history, but also as a tool for language learning and literacy."

Customer Reviews:

Mehh, its OK - dont believe the hype.......2007-08-23

I admit that Examkrackers is all right - they are the best condensed review for the MCAT on the market. Of course this doesn't mean jack considering that the rest of the review materials (kaplan, etc.) are pretty much garbage. Does it make you the best if you're king of the garbage pile? I'm not saying that Examkrackers sucks - its just OK. Its the best MCAT review on the market, but it has a ton of problems - many concepts are explained vaguely (thermodynamics, electromagnetism, and optics to name a few), the answers for the review questions are vague, and THEY ARE ACTUALLY NOW CHARGING FOR MEMBERSHIP ON THEIR WEBSITE TO SEE THE ERRATA TO THEIR BOOKS. So if you buy this set, be prepared to shell out more cash to join their forums to get a clearer explanation to certain topics only vaguely referred to in their books. Let me also say to look elsewhere for a condensed review on electromagnetism (they left A TON of stuff out). Its pros are that they give great condensed reviews on Biology and Organic chem.

I don't know how they've got a ton of 5 star reviews - I think THE ExamKrackers COMPANY IS ACTUALLY filling out at least 75% of the 5 star reviews on amazon (shame shame) - its 4 stars AT BEST... Not that that means its a totally crappy product...

this book is all you'll need for MCAT.......2007-08-15

This package is geared toward to new computer-based MCAT. The entire package consists of five books (bio, organic chem, chem, physics, verbal and a practice exam). The materials covered in the book is succint and colorful that makes studying fun and efficient. Highly recommended to everyone who is going to take MCAT.

Examkrackers Mcat Complete Study Package (Examkrackers).......2007-08-13

This is a great package with all you need to know about the material that's on the MCAT's. This package includes a review book on each subject. Each book sums up the material, which i normally find difficult to understand, and makes it easy to remember with a little bit of humor. This package was perfect for what i needed to prepare. Don't waste your money on the exam classes. teach yourself with these books and you'll remember more.

Examkrackers for MCAT.......2007-08-09

This product is definately the way to go. I have gone through the Kaplan book as well as this series, and there is really no comparison. Examkrackers is a superior product.

MCAT Preperation.......2007-07-27

Outstanding product! I prepared for the MCAT last year with a different company and spent almost $1700 for an online class (completed all the material too). My first MCAT scores were less than adequate to say the least. I have spent 4 weeks now using this material (Plus Audio Osmosis- and a few other ExamKrackers material-Examkrackers MCAT Audio Osmosis with Jordan and Jon (Examkrackers)Examkrackers 16 Mini Mcat's (Examkrackers MCAT Manuals)) and feel SO much more prepared than I did last year. I could have saved over $1200 if I used ExamKrackers last year.
This product sums up a tremendous amount of information. Even better, it is full of short cuts and memory aids that are essential for the timed MCAT test. My scores have improved DRAMATICALLY!

Great waterfowl identification guide.......1999-10-27

"Waterfowl : An Identification Guide to the Ducks, Geese and Swans of the World" is a wonderful guide for waterfowl identification, with beautiful colored plates of all 155 species of ducks, geese, and swans. A really nice book for everyone who likes wild waterfowl. The only thing I miss are the screamers which are also a part of the anseriformes (waterfowl).

Poor reprint quality ruins a great series.......1999-01-28

Make a plate-by-plate comparison of the new Waterfowl or Shorebirds guides with the original hardcover editions and you'll see that the sofcover illustrations look like cheap color photocopies. All of the subtlety and detail that made the originals the best field guides of their kind has been lost. Save your money for the used bookstores.

Steve Madge delivers again.......1998-11-22

Excellent for the birdwatcher or waterfowler.......1998-10-03

Waterfowl: An Identification Guide - This identification guide is part of a series of similar books each targeted at a particular family of birds such as shorebirds, seabirds, sparrows, etc. These guides are designed for the serious bird watcher, but the volume on waterfowl is an excellent reference for the waterfowler who wants to increase his knowledge and understanding of these wonderful birds. Most species are illustrated in juvenile, eclipse adult and breeding adult plumage for males (drakes) and females (hens). Range maps and detailed text descriptions are included for every species of waterfowl in the world. Descriptions include methods of distinguishing birds that are similar.

Book Description

Wildfowl and screamers belong to a highly diverse family of birds, confined to watery habitats. They are amongst the most attractive of birds and are very well-known to man, who has domesticated them, used their feathers for warm clothing and ornamentation, admired their flight, courtship and migration, caught them for food, maintained them in captivity for pleasure, and written about their doings in delightful children's stories, from Mother Goose to Jemima Puddleduck and Donald Duck. They occur throughout the world except Antarctica. Some are faithful to the same partner for life, others for only the few minutes of copulation. In some species, male and female make devoted parents, and yet there is one within the group whose female lays her eggs in the nests of others and never incubates. Diving as a method of obtaining food has evolved many times within the family. Most nest in the open but others in the tree-hole nests of woodpeckers and some in the ground burrows of rabbits or aardvarks. They may be highly social or solitary, defending a large territory. Ducks, Geese and Swans begins with eight chapters giving an overview of the family, their taxonomy and evolution, feeding ecology, breeding strategies, social behaviour, movements and migrations, population dynamics, and conservation and management, followed by accounts of 165 species, written by a team of expert wildfowl specialists, describing each bird in its natural state and summarizing the published literature and recent research. Complementing the accounts are thirty specially commissioned colour plates by Mark Hulme, along with numerous black and white drawings illustrating behaviours, plus distribution maps for each species.

A let down but worth adding to your library collection.......2006-04-30

With great anticipation I glanced through a copy of this two vol. tome.
I believe only two libraries in all of Texas have purchased the book.
The book gets mixed reviews. I believe its better than the outdated
Johnsgard. More time contacting regional biologist and going through the journals would have made the book better. Many species have information only as current as the late 1980s.
I consider the book a required addition to anyone's library if one is serious about waterfowl (other than the species in the United States where the BNA series and the soon to be released Bellrose would be better) but suggest you wait a year and purchase a used copy. It simply is not worth the current price

Not Much for Price.......2005-10-22

It was with great anticipation that I received the rather expensive (~280$)two volume "Ducks, Geese, and Swans" published by Oxford Univ Press as part of their Bird Families of the World series.

Seeing the Canada and Cackling Goose standing next to each other on the cover of vol. 1 only heightened my glee.

Alas.

The first couple hundred pages offer a nice overview of waterfowl biology. I have yet to read this section in its entirety, but I could not find a reference to a potentially interesting topic in waterfowl biology: that is, the default plumage is male. So, a bird lacking sex hormones (estrogen, testosterone) will look more like a male than a female. Females low on estrogen will look like odd males, perhaps prompting the report of hybrids, and have been loosely termed "intersex ducks" in birding circles. Anyway, this point, perhaps somewhat
trivial but of some potential importance to field ID, seems to have been omitted.

Much more important to most everyone reading this are the species accounts and how well they cover ID, distribution, and subspecies.

The short answer is horrid, okay, and highly variable.

Identification (examples):
Looking at wigeon, the discussion of ID of adults is extremely basic (not better than the old Golden Guide) and for immatures, states that "both sexes [of American] appear much like immature Eurasian Wigeon." Lots of help there. They do manage to spend almost as much time telling you how to separate American
Wigeon from Chiloe Wigeon, however, as "escaped birds often occur." Though no mention of Eurasian x American Wigeon is made, we are warned about hybrids with Chiloes. Indeed, a great fault re: ID is that mention of hybrids is rarely made, and for some ID quandaries, such as wigeon, awareness of these and their
appearance is critical.

Another example: Under scaup, head color and wing stripe are emphasized. A brief and misleading reference to head and bill shape differences is made. And so on. The illustrations are pretty, but not terribly useful re: ID. Some chicks are shown, but only for a few species.

Distribution:
The maps are often incorrect. A quick thumbing through the book revealed that Barrow's Goldeneye is shown as wintering in the lower Great Lakes, where they are vagrants, whereas Lesser Scaup are not shown wintering in the interior anywhere (and they are not rare on the Great Lakes, except when frozen). Barrow's Goldeneye are shown as being resident in the High Cascades, where they breed but would freeze to death during winter but are not shown as wintering on Washington's n. Olympic Coast, where common. Long-tailed Ducks, apparently, don't winter s. of central Vancouver Island, but Black Scoters winter all the way into Mexico. For some species, such as RB Merg, a "Polar View" is used for the map, making the bird's precise range difficult to interpret; in any case, it certainly is shown in broad strokes when compared with species limited to one continent, where an attempt is made to show the range in great detail.

Then there is the peculiar selection of terms for these maps: "Migrant breeding" and "Migrant non-breeding." The use of "migrant" is baffling for these labels mean "breeding" and "wintering" respectively. I realize that ducks do move about during the "winter" or "resting" season depending on open water
and other factors, and there's the issue of whose winter (n. hemisphere vs s. hemisphere) one's talking about. However, the use of "migrant" is extremely misleading because the ranges NEVER display migration range, which is left undepicted in all maps.

The text offers a better description of ranges, sometimes not
containing the same errors shown in the maps. And the text gives valuable info on population levels, sometimes in great detail (though to some extent this can be obtained from Wetlands International's "Waterfowl Population Estimates" -- an excellent tome recommended to all). So, for population issues, these books are quite useful. However, range errors exist here, too. The wintering of Black Scoter to Mexico is repeated. And, they mention the regular occurrence of Eur Wigeon in North America, but state that it is particularly numerous in the Aleutians and Mexico. Yes, Mexico. I guess we've been missing the large flocks in Baja.

Subspecies
In the Brant account, subspecific range and numbers is extremely well covered, including "Gray-bellied Brant." Also, the author notes that "Lawrence's Brant" may not be GB Brant at all, but a now extirpated darker e. North American population of Brant. However, the account gives little help on ID of these races.

The Canada Goose account is a disaster. Canada and Cackling aren't split, though the AOUs decision is alluded to. No where does this account suggest which races will be put with which species. A vague attempt at discussing subspecific ID is made, so much so as to make one wonder why they wasted the space. The maps are a hodgepodge of Fish and Wildlife Service defined "populations" (which contain several races) to specific maps for several (Aleutian, minima, Dusky). A map labelled "Lesser" I suspect contains parvipes and taverneri
ranges, though the text earlier defines these as separate subspecies. In any case, if you are interested in Canada and Cackling Goose racial ID and range, this book is nearly worthless. The BNA account, which is several years old, is far
better. For that matter, so is Bellrose's book and Johnsgard's from the 1970s (or is it early 80s -- too lazy to get up and drag down the volumes).

On the other hand, the discussion of range and subspecific ID on Common Eider is far more detailed and useful, probably exceeding that which can be obtained from most other sources.

As for food, displays, breeding and life cycle, much of this is interesting, but outside of any area of expertise I have. For some species, a detailed account of molt cycle is given, which is quite nice, but for many species this information is not provided.

In reality, for North America, access to the BNA accounts and Sibley (especially if you can access Dave himself :o) will do you far more good than this extremely expensive set. For outside North America, there are many sources which would easily replace this set, depending on where you're going; and in many respects, the much less-expensive Madge and Burn book on Waterfowl is equal or superior.

....better flurry!.......2005-09-29

Geese and ducks and hens better flurry. This elegant (and expensive) two volums tome contains all you would ever need to know about geese, ducks and swans. The prose style is so easy to read that you are lured away from your original enquiry most seductively. Illustrations magnificent

Book Description

Many remember Paul Robeson for his magnificent singing voice and acting ability. But how many are aware that Robeson wrote and spoke about African culture? Thirty years before "black is beautiful", he described his pride in being Negro. Paul Robeson Speaks is a stirring, illustrated collection of speeches, writings, interviews, and press reports by a man whose thoughts and writings contributed greatly to African culture and Black pride.

Customer Reviews:

Robeson is one of my favorite proponents of communism!.......2004-03-20

If you can't believe the websites of Rutgers and Princeton Univiersities, and just have to read it for yourself, this is the book for you. Just being able to read Mr. Robeson's beautiful ode to one of last century's most influential world leaders, Joe Stalin, is worth the price of the book! I'm tickled pink (or should I say "red") that the United States Postal Service has done their homework and honored Mr. Robeson with his own postage stamp!!

Give this man some due.......2003-02-01

What can I say? Paul Robeson put his money where his mouth is. He gave up millions for what he believed in and stood his ground. He fought for Black freedom and also took up the cause for poor whites and workers. Whether you agree with him or not, this man is one of America's greatest heroes! It is amazing how his life and contributions are overlooked. Buy this book and read about a great American hero.
