Trees (National Audubon Society First Field Guide)

Customer Reviews:

Audubon for young kids.......2000-09-06

Like the other "first guides" this book on trees is both a study guide and a field guide. The study guide explains the differences between broadleaf and needle trees, seeds and cones of trees, how a forest comes to be, why forest fires can be helpful (some cones are triggered to release seeds only in intense heat) and more. The guide is full color beautiful photos of the most likely to be found trees on the left page, and similar trees with smaller pictures on the right. The right size and content for young kids, not too much info to make it confusing, but enough to get a fire of curiosity going.

Wow! Great Photos and easy to read, too.......2002-06-29

These field guides for the younger scientist are filled with the most vivid photographs. My children ages 7,6 and 4 and I love to sit and look at the pictures and talk about the text. The descriptions are easy to read and explain the details of the subject clearly and in words a child can relate to. I would recommend these for any young adventurer.

Customer Reviews:

Skims the surface AND it's out-dated!.......2007-05-08

This travel book was very disappointing. The book is broken out by neighborhood but does a very poor job organizing the information, particularly if you don't want to follow their guide step-by-step. Directions were off and the restaurant information was way out-dated, which is a definite no-no for a foodie's paradise like Hong Kong. That said, if this is your first time to HK and you have no idea how or where to begin, this might prove handy. If you're looking to really explore the neighborhoods and learn about the culture, consider your options.

Great but not perfect.......2007-03-19

I am traveling to Hong Kong this summer. This book was great and the pictures were wonderful, but I wish it would have had the top ten things like the Fromme guide. Like top ten places to visit; top ten gardens etc.

Insight City Guide Hong Kong: Macau & Guangzhou.......2007-01-05

This book gives ou a nice overview of the region for visiting HK, Guangzhou and Macau.

Great guide.......2006-03-20

Just got back from my trip to Hong Kong, Macau, and some areas of China. This guide was invaluable and perfect for my needs. The maps and highlights are great. The photos are colorful and plentiful. I chose this guide over the Lonely Planet because Lonely Planet seemed to have more listings, like hotels and restaurants. My hotel accommodations were already taken care of, so I didn't need that. The Insight Guide gives a good recitation of the history and the contemporary culture. I highly recommend it.

Customer Reviews:

Good Compact Guide.......2001-01-05

I found the guide to be quite good and conveniently compact. My one criticism is that information for a given area is in several different places in the book. For example, there is a section on Wan Chai as a tour, another for Wan Chai at night, another section under excursions, and then Wan Chai restaurants are listed in a fourth section, altho some are included in the previous sections. This made for a lot of page flipping back and forth. This should all be consolidated into one section on Wan Chai. I thought the info was very good, just a lot of page flipping ("Now, where did I see that?")

The 1997 edition is more up to date.......1998-10-29

Aimed at the vacationer or business traveller, the strength of this guide is its guided walks/day trip itineraries...and in for a place whose coastline and skyline is forever changing, not to mention its complete change of sovreignty, the more up to date your guidebook the better!

Customer Reviews:

Good book on incorporating your business.......2003-12-01

How to Incorporate is an excellent book to show the average guy how to incorporate. It is an easy read and packed with good information.

Some other books you will want to read are Form Your Own Corporation and Launch a Business In Any State by J.W. Dicks, Inc. Yourself by Judith McQuown and Incorporating Your Business for Dummies by The Company Corporation. For more information on S-Corporations, How To Form A S-Corporation by Robert Cooke is the best book that I have found and the one most recommended by successfult business people.

Technical and Well Rounded.......2001-03-16

This book is basically a textbook, as it contains a lot of the details that are common to incorporation in any state. While the authors have stayed general enough to remain in an interstate appeal, they have still covered almost every legal aspect of incorporating, WITHOUT giving advice as to what you should do. Also covered are: sole proprietorships and limited liability coporations/partnerships and more. Good buy if you want a good cursory understanding of business vehicles. I recommend it. Please vote if this did help you.

An excellent addition to any entrepreneurýs library.......2000-07-06

This book is excellent! I have a Ph.D. and an MBA and have taken a lot of courses and read lots of books, business and otherwise. This text summarizes a lot of important information into a small book. This is not for simpletons, rather it gives important information for anyone wishing to incorporate.

Covers important topics, a little confusingly written.......1999-04-15

It's really helpful in that it covers a bunch of the basic points. Ironically, I wish it focused on the tax implications of losses (to be expected in startups) as much profits :). I also found some of the writing confusing -- like in covering LLCs, it compares some facets of them to other corporate before really explaining how they work. But I liked the book, thinking it basically helps me have a more informed conversation with a lawyer, which I think is essential (since regulations change so fast, and can be state-specific).

Gave me some basic ideas on incorporating our small business.......1997-06-04

It answered a lot of questions I had about incorporating our small business. However, it would be an even better book had there been a chapter dedicated to what can be written off along with what percentage of the total cost or value of things. This always seems to be a gray area. Overall, it was a very informative book

Book Description

A riveting memoir of life in the Yiddish theater, in the words of the star of Der Komediant, winner of the Israeli Oscar for Best Documentary 1999.

Pesach Burstein, an old trouper from the Yiddish theater, recalls dramas both onstage and off in this memoir, which he dictated to his wife, Lillian Lux Burstein.The story of Burstein's successful stage career is played out against the background of political turmoil in Europe, vignettes of life in small towns and big cities, friendships and rivalries among theater folk, family life, emigration to the United States, and tours through Europe, South America, Israel, and South Africa. Every personal anecdote tells the larger history: theater history and also the history of the Yiddish communities who were his audiences. While Burstein is a legend in Yiddish theater, he was little known outside that world until he was celebrated in Arnon Goldfinger's acclaimed documentary Der Komediant. This memoir provides the first window for English readers into the other side of Yiddish culture - the Yiddish burlesque, the traveling Yiddish theater, and the music hall. It will not only delight readers but also reveal a social and cultural history never before described in such detail. Burstein's life is the story of popular Yiddish theater in the first half of the century.

Book Description

This book offers an analysis of the life and thought of Samuel Johnson from a historian's viewpoint, which reverses the orthodoxy that has dominated the subject for over thirty years. J.C.D. Clark presents here a Johnson strikingly different from the apolitical, pragmatic and eccentric figure who emerges from the pages of most students of English literature. Johnson's commitments and conflicts in religion and politics are reconstructed; his role in the literary dynamics of his age is revealed against a new context for English cultural politics between the Restoration and the age of Romanticism.
