Generally field guides serve one purpose; to identify animals in the field. However it is a rare occurrence when one finds a field guide that is as useful to identify species as it is to educate. Bill Branch has written such a book about the reptiles of southern Africa. The author has provided informative sections on identifying and collecting reptiles, and on the vegetative habitats of southern Africa which determine the distributions of many species. In addition the book briefly covers the evolution and breeding biology of reptiles. The photographic plates are separate to the text and allow one to quickly scan the pages to identify the species of interest. The text section of each species covers distribution, breeding biology, taxonomy and interesting facts of relevance. Whether you are visiting southern Africa or a resident, this book will spur your interest in herpetology and allow you to identify reptiles with confidence.

This book is just great. It was the first book I had read about accounting and it helped me a lot. If anyone wants to learn about accounting, that person should pick this book. It's easy to read and very informative.

This book actually made understanding Financial Accounting much easier than any other reference I've used. Current reference material, good examples, easy to follow. I refer to it often.

Wonderful series/ Helpful footnotes that make reference to the catechsim and church fathers. I can't wait for the series to be completed.

First Black Actors On The Great White Way tells the stories of the actors, critics and others involved in the production of Three Plays for a Negro Theater in the early 1900s, examining changing race relations and perceptions in light of both wartime and theater production of the times. An intriguing survey of black acting's changes in an early period of American rights issues just emerging.

I enjoyed using this textbook. The explanations were clear. Plus, the spiral binding made working out of the text easier. Selected answers are in the back of the book.

If you order this book be aware that it is a 2 volume set. The $99.95 includes both volumes. One of the other sellers under Used and New is trying to sell you One volume (half the book) for an inflated price. You can also buy this book from the publisher and you will get both volumes for the $99.95 price that is advertised. The book is great if you grew up in Florida and were attending all the dances locally. It has great info on the bands that put out records and who went on to stardom nationally. A lot of hard work went into this book since I know some of the local Tampa and Jacksonville bands and some of the people that became national successes.

Ms. Curtis gives detailed information about what is was like to be a woman pilot in the British Air Transport Auxiliary during World War II. She tells much about where the women were based the types of aircraft they flew. The types of trips they flew and the danger that not only the women faced, but that all of the pilots of the ATA handled. It was interesting to read about what was going on in England with women pilots while the United States was putting off using women to ferry airplanes.

This is a wonderful Scripture-based book which emphasizes knowing who God is, true worship, service as Christ's ambassador, and overcoming anything that gets in the way of a growing spiritual walk. The author discusses roadblocks to spiritual power, limiting God by our unbelief and independence, experiencing God's presence, knowing God's character, prayer, praise, The Holy Spirit's role in our daily walk with God, afflictions and trials, God's strengthing and equipping, etc. etc.

Further, it is organized in an easy-to-read fashion that helps move head-knowledge of God's Word into heart obedience. The author is excellent in using the entirety of God's Word - using Old and New Testament - to illustrate the points he teaches. His lists of what keeps us from an intimate relationship with God were incredibly valuable and I have shared them with others. Some obstacles he brings up were very familiar to me, but others startled me into doing some real soul-searching! And, therefore, I intend to share them with others... Don't just read this book casually. Allow the Holy Spirit to speak to you as you read...

From the introduction:
"FORSAKE HIM NOT! is a book about drawing closer to God. It contains a portrait of my own life journey as I have walked with the Lord. The road has not been easy, but I am learning how to live victoriously. After 28 years, God has shown me through His Word how I can attain practical help for my life. He has made Himself real to me, and I know He can become real to you also. Modern Christianity is not producing the kind of disciples the Bible teaches we should be. Many Christians do not truly know God. We have lost our understanding of who He is. If we don't have a proper knowledge about God, we cannot know and experience His presence. Neither can we serve Him, because how can we walk with and serve a God we do not know? Similarly, worship loses its vitality when our understanding of God is deficient. Because we don't understand who He truly is, we see very little reason to thank and praise Him and we have no inclination to seek His comfort and security when the storms of life come our way. This book is filled with Scriptures and practical ideas to help you understand better who God is and how you can live in an intimate relationship with Him. Pastors and counselors will find this book to be an excellent tool and resource, and leaders of discipleship training programs and Bible studies will want to consider it for use in their groups."
