Book Description

How do you know when you're face to face with a fringe-leaf ruellia? Is that particular flower button gayfeather or dotted gayfeather? And what about the pod clinging to your pants-could it have come from a pointed-leaf tick-trefoil?

For anyone venturing out into the wilds of Kansas and contiguous states, identifying plants just got a whole lot easier. This is the first book on Kansas wildflowers or weeds to appear in 25 years. It supersedes earlier guides not only in the number of species it includes-plus its coverage of grasses-but also in its spectacular, true-to-life color photos.

Michael Haddock has assembled a guide to 264 wildflowers along with 59 grasses, sedges, and rushes. These comprise many of the state's most common and conspicuous species-as well as some seldom encountered or listed in field guides-and include many that are found throughout the Great Plains.

Wildflowers are arranged first by dominant color groups for quick identification, then by family within each color category so that the user can compare a species with similarly colored flowers. Each entry for flower or grass includes a complete profile for any given plant: scientific name, family, common name(s), flowering period, height, distribution and habitat, life span, basic morphological characteristics, and notes on historical food and medicinal uses where applicable.

The book also features "finding aids" that allow one to narrow a specimen to a smaller number of possible matches-sometimes more quickly than by comparing it to the photos. These lists were created with the non-specialist in mind and are based on basic vegetative and floral features that are usually easy to determine.

Perfect for backpack or glove compartment, Wildflowers and Grasses of Kansas offers a wealth of quick-access information graced with color that leaps off the page, making plant identification a joy rather than a chore. It's a book guaranteed to send even chronic homebodies out into the Great Outdoors in search of these elusive blooms.

4 out of 5 stars Awesome Guide for Plants that are "In Bloom"........2005-05-27

This is a fantastic book for those that love the wildflowers of the Kansas Prairie. I have not found and easier guide to help me learn and ID Kansas wildflowers. However, if you are interested in the taxonomy and ID prior to or beyond the flowering stage, of those plants that interest you, this book may disappoint you. I would not fail to recommend it to like minded associates. Peace!

4 out of 5 stars Wild Flower Book.......2007-05-25

Very good pictures and text description. After reviewing its good quality I would have preferred more about growing them as well. This is a buy product for anyone that wants to know what they are looking at in the field. Not a good carry around field, in the back pocket book, but still a very good reference book.

                        Book Description

                        It begins with a phone call. It could have been his best friend, or the phone company trying to get him to make one more switch. Instead, it's the older brother he hasn't seen in years informing Terry Shine that their father is lying in a hospital bed unable to speak, bleeding in the brain. Terry and his four brothers rush to the hospital and prepare for the end, but nothing could have prepared them for what is to come.

                        "Old people are supposed to die," Terry acknowledges in a whisper of resignation. "Yeah, but fathers aren't," his brother Bill responds. Suddenly, five estranged siblings are plunged together into a bewildering world of medical choices and living wills -- of hours sitting by their father's bed, begging him simply to blink, to squeeze a hand, to nod. With no formal guidelines to follow, Terry and his brothers fumble along while their helplessness makes them focus on absurdities: What kind of car does each doctor drive? Which vending machine has the best Danish? They bring in a boom box and some of their father's CDs, trying everything in their power to drive the life back into him. They keep trying until sheer exhaustion leads them to the brink of acceptance. But, as the Shine family discovers, there is nothing that trains us to navigate death's terrain, and nothing we can do to come out of the experience unscathed: death slams us in ways we can never possibly have fathomed.

                        At once heart-wrenching, insightful, and piercingly witty, Fathers Aren't Supposed to Die masterfully captures the devastating experience of trying to come to terms with a parent's death.

                        5 out of 5 stars This book may be small.........2007-08-29

                        This book may be small but it is a memoir packed with information. It was a very good read on many levels..family relationships and death and dying; those two are the main themes. The author writes with a hint of mystery and I liked that touch to the memoir.

                        5 out of 5 stars Death Means Never Having to Say You're Normal.......2000-05-21

                        ( )...The only words that miss the mark of literaryexcellenceare on the cover of T.M. Shine's remarkable tale.

                        Thisain't no how-to anything or a cry on Oprah's wide shoulders. This is something wonderfully other.

                        If Elizabeth Kubler-Ross met Carl Hiaasen, T.M. Shine would be their bastard child. This book is laugh out loud funny, except when it's ripping your guts out.

                        Bill Moyers sells Shine short when he alliterates in his testimonial that "Fathers . . ." is "marvelous, moving and memorable."

                        It is marvelous and moving. Quite so. But there are whole pages you'll hope aren't memorable, because feeling their wrenching impact once is as much as a person ought to bear.

                        Nice going Mr. Shine. Now please remind the folks at Amazon.com that people who read shouldn't be judged by their books' covers. END

                        5 out of 5 stars Shared experiences, shared healing........2000-05-09

                        I bought this book shortly after the death of my own father, and the subsequent reawakening of my friendship with my sister. I found the emotions and the passions in this book to resonate very deeply within my being - helping me to heal, since I learned that my feelings are common, valid and shared.

                        4 out of 5 stars Poignant and compelling.......2000-04-11

                        This is a poignant, compelling story that those of us who are baby-boomers will soon experience ourselves, if we haven't already. Mr. Shine bears all - his personal pain, frustrations and annoyances - dealing with the inevitable death of his father and realizing the experience is bringing him close to his brothers once again and the past they share. He indicts the medical community that, he felt, treated his father as a temporary occupant of a hospital bed. Like impatient FAA air traffic controllers, nurses and doctors were unwilling to be inconvenienced by adult children who were reluctant to let the scheduled departure take off on time. A quick and fulfilling read.

                        5 out of 5 stars A grand journey.......2000-03-26

                        I've read Shine since he wrote for The Miami Herald's Tropic Magazine. He's an undiscovered master. This book takes his readers on a painful but rewarding journey--the death of his father. It's entirely worth your time, even at double the price.

                        Not much to add to the title. The book is written by experts and has more information than any other book I've read on Goldfish. The author also has a website with even more information. The illustrations are beautiful. If you intend to raise or just have pet Goldfish, this is the only book you will need.

                        4 out of 5 stars Good info, Great Pics.......2007-05-07

                        I pretty much agree with everyone else, this is a very good resource for the experienced or newbie goldfish parent. There's probably more info here than I'll ever need (I don't plan on performing biopsies or even buying a microscope any time soon), but it's well-written and interesting stuff. The basics are covered just as thoroughly, and most of the questions I came up with were answered within a few paragraphs. The photography and production are amazing. An index would have been nice, but it's not necessary as the layout is straight-forward and everything is where you would expect it to be. I don't think I'll ever buy another goldfish book!

                        5 out of 5 stars The Best Goldfish Book Out There!!!.......2007-03-17

                        My Fiance and I have six goldfish in a 55gal tank and when we started out (with 2 goldfish in a 5.5gal tank) we knew nothing about goldfish. This book has been our lifesaver. It has taught us how to properly care for our fish and has enlightened us to breed differences, breeding processes, and other outside information. It is an excellent resource that most thoroughly encompases goldfish care and I highly recommended it to anyone who has goldfish and wishes to keep their beloved pet healthy and alive. Since owning this book, our fish have doubled or tripled in size and we have been able to cure them of their diseases, instead of having to flush them sadly away.

                        4 out of 5 stars Fancy Goldfish: a Complete Guide to Care and Collecting.......2007-03-09

                        This book did contain the information I was searching for, both visually and in written form. It was off-putting to have the book begin with the diseases, abnormalities, hazards, etc. before it ever got to "what are fancy goldfish". Would still recommend.

                        5 out of 5 stars The best goldfish care book.......2007-02-20

                        This is, in my opinion, by far the best goldfish book ever written. It is the only book you will ever need to understand the requirements to keep your goldfish healthy. The book dispels many myths regarding goldfish care and is based on scientific observation. The book does not cover aspects such as setting up of a tank in detail but is devoted mainly towards caring for the species. It is a book for the advanced aquarist but can be helpful to the novice if read in conjuction with other books regarding the basics of aquarium equipment and setup procedures.

                          Goldfish are the oldest and best known ornamental fishes in the hobby, but did you know how many different forms and varieties there are? This SPECIAL introduces the most impressive ones on the poster. Many helpful guidelines for goldfish maintainance.

                          The fishes featured in this book are not just identified by their name but also code number. AQUALOG has developed an ingenious code number system which labels every known or newly discovered fish (incl. breeding forms etc.)with an individual code number. This number remains, despite any scientific renaming. Moreover, it enables you to communicate internationally about any fish without the danger of confusion regarding local names!

                          3 out of 5 stars Great photos, good information, needs an editor!.......2007-07-24

                          I have a number of goldfish books and am in search of the "Goldfish Bible". I was hoping this was it but will have to keep looking. This is an interesting book - no doubt about that. The author is a German enthusiast who spent a number of years in Japan and China and developed a clear passion for goldfish. The photos are first class and among the best photos of goldfish I've seen. The book includes a large poster of goldfish varities- too large to be practical (unless you're planning to frame it and put it on your wall....) but, with close study, it might help you work through the varieties. The information is interesting- especially the explanation of the different varieties and what to look for. No much you can't find in the other specialist texts but it certainly is quirky. Some of the written English is clumsy but charming in its own way. There are spelling and punctuation errors here and there. Overall, I have to admit I was expecting more from the book in the way of information because these were billed as the "specialist texts". So i was disappointed. But, if you're really into goldfish and can't get enough pictures or enough of the same information explained in a slightly different way, then this book is for you.

                          5 out of 5 stars Great Book for the Coldwater Specialist.......2007-01-26

                          All of the Aqualog books are excellent value, although they are not particularly cheap. They are full to the brim with first class colour photographs and to reproduce these in a book is an expensive process. Whether they are about many of the different beautiful fishes now coming into the aquarist trade or in this case specifically the cold water species Goldfish and Fancy Goldfish which are among the most beautiful cold water fishes. They are first class for identifying that fish that you have had for some time, but have not been able to put a name to.

                          This is a really beautiful book with some stunning photographs and for anyone interested in Goldfish in particular and fish-keeping in general it is a book to be treasured.

                          3 out of 5 stars goldfish & Fancy goldfish(Aqualog).......2005-07-17

                          The 1st half of the book was pretty dry about the history and the last half was very informative. This was to be a present to a person who loves goldfish and would only like the last part of this book as it would answer her questions. I wouldn't give this to a beginner but to an experinced hobbist.

                                  You cannot afford not to buy this book; more information per penny than other book on the subject. You will certainly want a more detailed book in addition to this book but if you keep fancy goldgish following only what is recommended here, you will have happy fish. It does not cover diseases in any great detail but does include helpful pictures of the ones that are covered. It does not mention salt, so is a little out of date in that respect. But truly, how can you go wrong for $2.95?!!

                                  This book was great! Very informative and had beautiful pictures. I recomend this book to anyone interested in goldfish or fish keeping in general. No more words can describe how much this book immpressed me. Great job.

                                    This book was a gift for my son, who wanted to learn "spinology." It is one of maybe two books on the subject. The fact that it comes with a cd is a big plus.

                                    I practice spinning my sticks all the time, but it was good to see that someone put some organization and structure to it. I learned a lot from this book and dvd. I learned a few moves!

                                    5 out of 5 stars Pleased.......2005-08-12

                                    I really wanted to see if what I had learned long ago could be easily explained. To my surprise this book was right on target. Easy to follow, excellently demonstrated, and made quite simple. As in anything that looks easy...practice divides the can from the can't.

                                    Great book.. even better DVD that comes with it! But be warned, the techniques are deceptively simple but hard to do and harder to master.;. but there's no book around like it so he's got a monopoly on the subject right now...

                                        I purchased this book right after I bought an old house with a seriously overgrown garden. This book told me how to save the neglected fruit trees and rose bushes, and how to save the languishing perennial beds. Plus, it's a good guide to general garden maintenance. I'd love to see a west coast version.

                                        This book is excellent reading for any couple who has had to deal with an affair. It is told by someone who has had to live the experience. I would recommend highly. My husband and I both thought it was useful. It is full of suggestions on how to avoid falling into old patterns.

                                        While all of the mad men chase the homosexual partnership laws, and the right to pray on your lunch break, those in the faith and knowledge of Jesus Christ have forgotten satan true agenda of destroying the family. The greatest weapon is also the oldest trick in the book. Adultery is at an all time high in this country and no one knows it except the ones it has effected the most. Children are broken, friends and familys are torn apart. Lives are ruin by this sin which has somehow become the least of all human errors. Adultery is a sin and as destructive and murder and stealing, but most adulterous are unaware of this fact. Plain hard and simple, you need to arm yourself with the knowledge of it's entanglement or find yourself a victim of the roaring lion who goes to and fro seeking whom he may desire.

                                        5 out of 5 stars The only thing green is the emotion of envy and jealousy evoked by fantasy.......2006-09-29

                                        This is written from a Christian perspective and the author's first hand account of her own syndrome of "the grass looks greener". Thank God (literally) that she was able to restore her marriage. For anyone who is a friend of someone who has been horribly betrayed ... this is great for them and those who are emotionally supporting them through it. It also helps one understand both sides of the story so they don't take one side blindly, and detachment in the long-run aids in being a supportive friend. That said, it is urged that the one who is hurting seek out professional help as friends can never be fully objective. I found myself on the supportive friend side once in my life to someone who was very important to me at the time. Had this book been available it probably would have helped me be an objective support without taking on their pain of the drama, and being so drawn in to the toxic emotional aftermath that I had no choice but to extract myself completely for my own sanity.

                                        Infidelity has been scorned in most religious thought circles because of this very thing ... the intense pain it causes everyone in the situation especially the innocent children and ... even those who committed the adultery. Society can accept men violating marital vows much more than women, but both genders are equally capable and ultimately responsible for some very serious damage to others and possibly themselves. Don't allow a mirage of the grass is always greener to ruin a situation that isn't that bad, can be improved, is worth fighting for - a marriage and a family unit. This is why wedding vows are till death do us part. Divorces done believing that a second marriage and partner will be better are statistically disproved given their higher failure rates on average. Whether the person who left or the person deserted finds a new spouse the residual bitter repercussions are so deep that any unfinished business (and with kids it is never over) spills over to a new relationship for the worse. Unless the marriage is violent (emotionally, verbally, physically, socially, etc) and life threatening hands down .... Those who stay find that they are happy they did two to five years later if both parties commit to working to make it better. Marriage is hard work and it makes you married not happy. Only you can do that .... Hence why the lure of an illusion that another man/woman will bring the true love happiness really ... is simply a mirage that soon evaporates. Assuming that it is true love between the spouses .... the question really is .... are you going to fight and stand your ground to keep it alive?

                                        A watercolor artist's sketchbook and story, "Colors of France: A Painting Pilgrimage" sweeps readers along on Margaret Hall Hoybach's evocative journey along the back roads of France, from the Pyrenees to Brittany, and finally, to paint in Monet's fabled gardens at Giverny. What begins as a seemingly impossible dream becomes an interior odyssey and magic carpet ride, sometimes turbulent, but filled with beauty, humor and fulfillment.

                                        Anyone in love with and charmed by the beauty of France (as I am) will love this book. The illustrations are absolutely lovely.

                                        I very much enjoyed this delightfully personal and emotional journey through the backroads of a France not previously known. The beautiful illustrations by one of my favorite artists gave the reader vivid images of this gorgeous landscape. For a non-artist, it was especially interesting to experience the journey through an artist's eye...an artist very worthy of the invitation to paint Monet's gardens. The book is a wonderful collaboration by a gifted painter and a talented writer.

                                        Already in love with Margaret Hall Hoybach's painting style, I should have known that once I opened her book, both the words and the brush strokes would carry me, faster and faster, through to the very last page. Margaret enables the reader to see, hear, smell, taste, and experience her weeks traveling and painting across France.

                                        5 out of 5 stars A journey to be shared.......2002-08-26

                                        Feasting and fasting, reflection and spontaneity, fellowship and solitude - all the elements of a pilgrimage are contained in this intimate account of Margaret Hall Hoybach's journey to paint Monet's gardens. Her sketches and paintings convey the wonder of her journey. Joan Brown captures the creative spark that propels an artist forward and the moments of conversion that await those willing to embrace their dreams. Colors of France is filled with rich, inviting textures arrayed for any traveler, regardless of destination. Hoybach's willingness to share her experience leads me to examine my own path. A good book to share with a friend.

                                        It's 10:30 P.M. and I just finished Colors of France: A Painting Pilgrimage. I couldn't put it down---the book is a phenomenal experience. The reader journeys with Margaret while Joan's text flows from Margaret's perceptions. Both women are exceptionally talented. This is a wonderful book.
