Stacy Doris Books

Another one of those books that feature items, which if seen individually, would not be too interesting but put 350 of them in a neat square, well printed, all color book and they come alive. Each dome has a page to itself with a caption. Most of the objects inside the domes seem pretty tacky to me, produced as they are for the downmarket tourist trade but near the end of the book there are several advertising domes that look as if their contents have had some thought given to them, M&Ms and the Golden Arches of McDonalds look pretty cool surrounded by snow. The back of the book has a bibliography, web sites (naturally) and index.

Books about snowdomes are pretty sparse, only three are listed in the bibliography, the one I have is 'Snowdomes' by Nancy McMichael, this has a better history than the Carnot book and a more flamboyant presentation and it has a picture of a larger-than-life dome on the front cover whose globe area is actually plastic with a liquid and white flakes inside, it must have been a bookbinder's nightmare to produce.

Flammarion, the French publishers of Snowdomes also have other books in their Collectible series, I have one on wristwatches and another on pocket knives and as they are all the same square shape they do look good on a bookshelf. All I need now are Collectible books on jukeboxes, QSL cards, model Greyhound buses, pin-up playing cards, Santa Claus, TV station test cards and anything to do with the 1939 New York World's Fair!

I just finished my Bio class this summer with
Grade A,I think this lab book helps me a lot ,
something I couldn't understand from bio textbook,
but I can find answer from this Lab book, it's
very detail on like metosis part with very clear
picture.you will like this book too if you take
this class. the reason I give it just 4 stars,
because there have excises in every chapter,
I can't find answer list anywhere.

I just used this book in a class, and let me be the first to tell you that this book is pathetic. Not only are the pictures difficult to comprehend, but the book's information is elementary at best. It does not explain things enough at all; be prepared to buy another biology book if you take class! Another negative is that the book asks questions that you simply cannot answer by just reading the chapters. Very, very poor indeed!
