The Explorations of Captain James Cook in the Pacific
ASIN: 0295980192 |
Book Description
James Cook, sailor, surveyor, cartographer, and explorer, was born in 1728 in Yorkshire. In the course of his illustrious career, he sailed into every ocean and was one of the first, if not the first, British explorers to set foot on most of the world's major continents. He was also the first to cross both the Arctic and Antarctic Circles.
Captain Cook's World is an atlas, chronology, and biography of the life and voyages of this celebrated explorer. A set of 128 specially drawn maps and accompanying text give a detailed overview of his life, including his early years in England, his time in the North Sea coal trade and with the Royal Navy in Canada, and his three great voyages around the world in HMB Endeavour and HMS Resolution. Included on the maps are locations visited, named, or surveyed by Cook; the routes of his voyages; and sites that have been marked in his honor, such as monuments.
Based on meticulous scholarship but aimed at a general audience, Captain Cook's World is a fascinating and accessible record of Cook's life and travels.

Trajectory of Captain James Cook.......2002-08-12
This book caught my eye at Pearl Harbor on my first significant visit to Hawaii a few weeks ago. Had to order it as soon as I got home. Outstanding digest of Cook's lifetime of exploration. Excellent format with its mixture of concise narrative and outstanding maps. Fascinating "read", I couldn't put it down. Excellent level of detail -- enough to be truly educational -- not so much as to overload. Emotionally moving to recall standing on Hawaiian soil and try to imagine the worlds meeting in the explorations of Cook's time. This book helped stitch my own experience to the history of the explorations.
Book Description
In response to market demand,
Principles of Taxation: Advanced Strategies, by Sally Jones and Shelley Rhoades-Catanach, was developed to provide coverage of advanced tax topics. This book is ideal for students who studied Principles of Taxation for Business and Investment Planning in their introductory tax course. The two textbooks provide an integrated two-semester sequence of topics that represent a complete educational package for tax students. Nevertheless, Advanced Strategies is written in a self-contained manner. While its approach is consistent with Principles, the technical content builds on knowledge that students should know from their introductory tax course, regardless of the textbook used. Advanced Strategies explores the tax consequences of many, sophisticated business, financial, and personal wealth-planning transactions.The discussion of tax issues emphasizes the development and implementation of strategies to make transactions as tax efficient as possible to all parties involved. Many of the tax strategies are analyzed in terms of their impact on net cash flows and on the income statements and balance sheets of the transacting parties.

Disappointed on this one.......2006-11-05
Not one of Dovers best. It looked like they had hastily scribble some designs relating to flowers.

Book Description
Author Avi Friedman believes that rather than being unchangeable, physical environments should be designed and constructed to easily adjust to the evolving lifestyle of their inhabitants. A home, he contends, should be structurally flexible enough to adapt to changes such as children "leaving the nest," elderly relatives moving in, or the need for home office space.
Written by an internationally recognized flexible housing advocate, The Adaptable House provides specific design approaches and techniques that facilitate flexible design--both on the inside and outside--making it simple to alter a dwelling layout, demolish partitions or build new ones, upgrade heating systems, change the locations of stairs, etc.
The book is divided into three logical sections: the first sets the stage for adaptability, the second outlines relevant principles, and the last shows their actual application. Packed with floor plans, drawings, photos, and charts to fully and clearly illustrate his suggestions, The Adaptable House includes detailed coverage of:
* Interior layouts and room configurations
* Exterior elements such as roofs and facades
* New building materials and methods
* Easy add-on and remodels
* Single-family and multiple dwelling housing
The Adaptable House is a master blueprint for those interested in creating homes that can be quickly, easily, and inexpensively redesigned to meet the dynamic nature of the occupants' life.
Customer Reviews:
A valuable reference advancing this crucial concept in home design and construction.......2006-05-10
Sorry I don't have more time right now to compose a more substantial supportive review, but suffice it to say that I can enthusiastically give this book 5 stars. Though somewhat modest in it's appearance, the book's contents are an important advancement of many of the concepts discussed in the equally important book, How Buildings Learn. Importantly, in addition to the ideas discussed, are several examples of actual projects, including construction details and materials showing how to achieve them. This book is a particularly valuable and practical reference for all forward-thinking architects and contractors who truly want to serve their clients for a long time to come.

In this fresh book from Valerie Bell comes advice on how to build the strong family relationships that will win your kids' hearts.
Customer Reviews:
excellent parenting resource.......2002-04-08
I greatly appreciated Terry Bell's clear-cut, organized approach to offering common-sense guidelines for parents. Her practical advice to responsibly develop your own (the parent's) emotional and spiritual maturity as a means of providing what your child "needs" is sound, simple, and authoritative. I particularly enjoyed her honest examples of parental "short-comings" and her encouragement that it is never too late to pursue the kinds of changes that will improve your parent-child relationships. What a great resource for parents!
Being a parent is about children not you........2000-07-21
This is a great book. Valerie Bell is right on target when she says that as a parent it is time for you to focus on your child and not your own childhood. So many thirty & forty year olds get caught up in their own issues that they do the same thing to their children, as they are complaining their parents did to them. Bell instructs the reader to move beyond themselves and focus on their children. AMEN! I got this book cause I have been fighting with my adolescent daughter and I realize some of that has been because of my life circumstances. I think that Bell gives practical, EASY tips for changing our parenting approach to build a healthy and loving relationship with our children. It gave me some new ideas for reconnecting with all my children.
Pass This Up - Read The Bible and Jim Fay's ...Love & Logic.......2000-05-08
Ms. Bell's main thrust is that parents are the "need-meeters" of their children. As such, it is our responsibility as parents to make ourselves emotionally healthy so that we can provide a stable and nurturing environment for our kids. Great idea, but for me, the weakness of the book is a failure to provide practical ideas for how best to execute. I think this attachment-style of parenting too often results in selfish and self-centered children who have little respect for adults or others. On the other hand, Jim Fay's "Parenting With Love and Logic : Teaching Children Responsibility" is easy to read and provides instruction on meaningful ways to interact with children so that they grow up feeling loved and being responsible for their own behavior.
The focus is on healthy parenting, not child-management!.......1999-02-20
I loved how Valerie so clearly identified the common (and serious) mistakes that many parents make, and then wonder what went wrong in their relationship with their children. If the parent will take the responsibility of resolving their own behavior problems, then child-management often takes care of itself. I especially appreciated the chapter entitled "The Adult Parent" because so many parents are "big bad baby bosses"-- totally self-focused and dominance oriented. What a dangerous thing! I also loved Valerie's sprinkling of Christian values and scriptural references. As a MOPS coordinator, I look forward to using this information to help other moms.
Book Description
Heitor Villa-Lobos was the most famous, and charismatic twentieth century Brazilian composer. This book, based on the composer's private papers and correspondence, describes the gradual development from his first struggles to world wide recognition of the individuality of his compositions and his influence on the generation of musicians and composers of the late twentieth and twenty first century. Essential reading for anyone who has ever succumbed to the magic and power of Villa-Lobos's music and to anyone interested in the arts of Brazil over the last century.
