This is a book anyone serious about jumpimg should own!! Can't say enough! Wonderful book!

I really loved this book! I live in the shadow of the White Mountains and knew the legend of the Crawford's, but this really brought it to life. Now I must go back and re-read Lucy Crawford's history, and I look forward to reading other books by this author.

Guelzo is a distinguished intellectual historian and author of the recent superb biography, Abraham Lincoln: Redeemer President. The Crisis of the American Republic is enjoyably well-written. Social aspects of the Civil War, such as the roles of women and African-Americans, are thoughtfully considered along with the military history. Guelzo is particularly good on the issues underlying the conflict; the chapter on religious and intellectual history is most enlightening.

I am very much interested in Arabic Literature. I have read this book and I really loved it. I have read many books on Yusuf Idris before, but the were not as interesting and informative as this one. My e-mail address is aec@freenet.am. Please feel free to contact me.

Crocodile is a delightfully informative and entertaining non-fiction novel. Tracing back the history of the crocodilian for thousands of years, and returning to describe how humans have effected these wonderful animals, you will not be able to put it down.
From Chapter 1, the reader is taken aboard the H.M.S Beegle, to make first contact with the Australian Salt Water Crocodile, leaping from the water to snap bats from the air. From there on, we learn of the myths and legends surrounding the crocodile, the biological phenomenons of the crocodile, and all sorts of other fascinating information, all wrapped up in around 288 pages.

Though very informative, Crocodile is unique amongst its kind, as it is not just a book of different kinds of crocodilian and their different identifying features. Crocodile is a novel, that goes in-depth to lots of interesting information, historical facts and real life interviews, without ever taking on that common, twenty page, wrote learned, uninformative fact book.

All in all, an astounding book, can't wait for the next one. Hats off to Lynne Kelly!

Carolyn and Bob Mehaffy's Cruising Guide To The Hawaiian Islands comes from a couple who use San Francisco Bay as their port, and who set sail for Hawaii in 1996 after they retired. Upon their third voyage to the Hawaiian Islands they spent a year taking their boat into all the anchorages and harbors on each inhabited island: Cruising Guide To The Hawaiian Islands presents an island-by-island cruising guide, complete with maps and black and white photos. From approach advice to anchorage and facilities, any serious cruiser heading for Hawaii will want to take Cruising Guide along for the ride.

I bought this book when I had to teach myself how to create basic reports via CR9. It got me through that painlessly, and saved my company the $1,000 they would have had to pay a live instructor for Report Design I.

But remember, it is a starter book for beginners. After about a year of successfully using the knowledge gained from this book, I took the Business Objects Report Design II and III instructor led classes. I learned I made the right decision regarding the Level I class, as this Dummies book covered it well.

this is an extensive primer for those wondering about WHAT TO DO about present water crisis. it's going to take the average citizen--educating themselves and others. this is a good place to start. gut-wrenching, exciting, informative.

Allen Robertson and Donald Hutera have created a reference book that is easy to use and succinct in its entries. The thumbnail biographies and company histories are concise and to the point and give a credible account of both classical ballet and modern dance.

As a dance critic I have used this book countless times over the years to insure accurate references to works from the past. If you are a balletomane, or just interested in the history of the art of dance, this book is an absolute must.

I read this book a year ago and found it such a compelling but chilling read. If it were not so painstakingly researched and the history it reports were not so recent and about a time I remember well, it would be possible to read it as a dramatic nail biting political thriller. The characters that as Australians we know so well are depicted so vividly, their actions so self serving and callous. Given the current political climate in Australia and around the world this book should be compulsory reading for all those who wish to not live through another term of the radical right wing conservatives. Frighteningly history is repeating itself with another election soon, the same campaign tactics exploiting the politics of fear and greed are being played out in the Australian media, fueled by now well seasoned politicians and business interests.
