This book has been a lifesaver for me many times when I needed authoritative information in a hurry. If you are a teacher of astronomy--at any level from undergrad on up--you will never regret having this on your shelf! Many times, after searching in vain through half-a-dozen textbooks for some item of information, I have turned to Facts-on-File Astronomy and found the answer directly, ...             Pool Light14 reviews Watson-Guptill Publications, 1999 Every page of this book is fascinating Whereas "Water Dance" took off from an experiment, "Pool Light" appears to be the result of a complete mastery of this unique form of photography which combines beautiful bodies with dazzling fluid effects. Every image in this book is a sight to behold, combining the beauty and grace of the human body with the imagination and emotion brought forth by an underwater stage. Photographer Howard ...             Discovery of Self1 review Michael Edward Owens BookSurge Publishing, 2008 EdsPlace Excellent for anyone who is a spiritual seeker and looking for a book that is profound and easily understood.             Peter Beard, Collector's Edition: 965 Elephants3 reviews Owen Edwards, Steven M. L. Aronson Taschen, 2007 Peter Beard Tour De Force Five Stars for the best Big Book effort since Helmut Newton's SUMO. If you can not afford Peter's six figure art creations this is the way to go.. if? you can find a copy for sale. Additionally, a classic document of overpopulation's tragic consequences for any species including our own. When you have it get a glass of wine and settle down for two hours of life and death in another ...             Julius Shulman, Modernism Rediscovered2 reviews Julius Shulman, Hunter Drohojowska-Philp, ... Taschen, 2007 Shulman Modernism A fittingly huge tribute to the man who captured Modernism in western America and especially in California. I thought the beauty of these three large books (check out the weight and dimensions in the Product Details section) was the way they are organized: historically using Shulman's own job reference numbers. Obviously there is not going to be a photo of every commission because a lot of his ...             The Complete Brigadier Gerard (Canongate Classics,57)10 reviews Arthur Conan, Sir Doyle, Owen Dudley Edwards Canongate Books, 1998 BRAVO ETIENNE GERARD How Sir Arthur Conan Doyle can write a character that is irritatingly arrogant yet, charmingly loyal and naive is beyond me. The depth of Gerard's character rivals even the great Sherlock Holmes. Just as with his more famous counterpart(Holmes), Gerard is not just a hero(although there can be no questioning his bravery),he can also be a clown,(without ever realizing it)a ladies man, the greatest ...             The Exploits of Brigadier Gerard (Canongate Classic)3 reviews Arthur Conan, Sir Doyle Canongate Pub Ltd, 1992 Funny and vivid It is surprising how funny Conan Doyle could be sometimes. Brigadier Gerard is a wonderfully conceited, rather dim-witted but brave and generous-hearted cavalry officer in Napoleon's Army. His adventures are a delight to read.             Madrid (Eyewitness Travel Guides)4 reviews Adam Hopkins, Mark Little, ... Dorling Kindersley Publishers Ltd, 2004 Take it with you This is the book you put in your coat pocket and take with you when you leave the hotel. It has the best maps, the top sights listed and detailed, the right amount of history, the best book. It is also beautifuly done, and is fun to look at for the pictures and maps. If you are visiting Madrid, you are probably also visiting Toledo and Segovia, and this book covers them as well in excellent ...             The Valley of Fear (The Oxford Sherlock Holmes)12 reviews Arthur Conan Doyle Oxford University Press, USA, 1993 THE VALLEY OF FEAR 'The Valley of Fear'. A real page turner but what makes it most memorable for me is not that Holmes is at his best, but Conan Doyle is. After reading this book I recommend you to read this book because it was a suspense story. The whole story moves around Mcginty who was a big criminal in the valley of vermisa also called the valley of fear. There was only one person who could face to that ...             His Last Bow: Some Reminiscences of Sherlock Holmes (Oxford World's Classics)7 reviews Arthur Conan Doyle Oxford University Press, USA, 2000 Fourth-best of the Sherlock Holmes short story collections! Although he also wrote several novels featuring the world's greatest fictional detective Sherlock Holmes, it was especially in his short stories that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle perfected the Holmes formula. "His Last Bow" (published in 1917) is the fourth of the five collections of Holmes short stories. The other collections all featured a dozen stories, but only eight stories make up "His Last ...             Upward Nobility: How to Succeed in Business Without Losing Your Soul1 review Owen Dudley Edwards Crown, 1992 Well written business advice Most business self-help books read like infomercials. Surprisingly, "Upward Nobility" is well-written and, though a light read, gives substantive advice. If you must read a business self-help book, this book is better than most.             Lifting the Fog of War15 reviews William A. Owens, Edward Offley Farrar Straus Giroux, 2000 A Revolutionary, Transforming Book What a shame that the most I can give this outstanding, thought-provoking book is only five stars. It deserves at least twice that many for honestly and publicly discussing the challenges and opportunities that today's U.S. military faces as it struggles to accept and adapt to the revolutionary and transforming environment in which it finds itself. Today's U.S. military faces a post-Soviet Union ...             The Oxford Sherlock Holmes: 9 volume set (The Oxford Sherlock Holmes)39 reviews Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Oxford University Press, USA, 1993 A Modern Collection of The Adventures This well-bound hardcover book is a medium brown color without the dust jacket, and has gold lettering on the spine. There's also a lightly embossed picture of the front cover on the hardcover. The inside pages are made of high quality paper, and there are about 11 illustrations throughout the book, including the front cover. The illustrations are printed in color on glossy paper, and are ...             H2O7 reviews Howard Schatz Bulfinch, 2007 Wet and wild For all its variety, this collection has one underlying theme: water. The most dramatic photos in the collection are like the cover shot, dancers floating underwater. The amazing results shown here come from an equally amazing adventure in developing the techniques for taking these pictures. In most of the photos, the artist and model both release their breath underwater until the air in ...             Macdermots of Ballycloran: Trollope 1991 (The complete novels of Anthony Trollope)1 review Anthony Trollope Ashgate Publishing / Trollope Society, 1991 First novel a success Anthony Trollope's first novel, and a good one. Set in Ireland in the 1830s, it tells the story of a proud but destitute family and their tragic downfall at the hands of a scoundrel. Myles Ussher is an English police captain sent to Ireland to help stop illegal whiskey making. Feemy Macdermot falls deeply in love with him, though he has no intention of returning that love. The locals hate him, ...             The Welsh King and His Court1 review University of Wales Press, 2002 Meticulous discourse of the Welsh royal household Aptly edited by the collective efforts of T.M. Charles-Edwards, Morfydd M. Owen, and Paul Russell, The Welsh King And His Court is a massive compendium of essays filled with meticulous discourse of the Welsh royal household and the governmental roles of those officers charged with upkeep of horses, sleeping quarters, meals, etc. Primary source texts are presented in English translation, and the ...             The Case-Book of Sherlock Homes (The Oxford Sherlock Holmes)12 reviews Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Owen Edwards Oxford University Press, USA, 1993 Super Reader The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes contains stories by Doyle that are set later, after the turn of the century, and are probably not quite as strong as the rest of the collection. There is still the fun of The Sussex Vampire to be found, and the finger on the side of the nose style of The Illustrious Client to enjoy, and Holmes is still Holmes. Case Book of Sherlock Holmes : 01 The Adventure ...             A Study in Scarlet (Oxford World's Classics)43 reviews Arthur Conan Doyle Oxford University Press, USA, 2000 Super Reader A lovely origin story. Dr. Watson, returned from a war and in need of lodgings is led to Baker Street. In this fine location resides one Sherlock Holmes. They are soon on the trail of a mystery that involves a corpse, and a word scrawled in blood on a wool. Then there are dodgy mormons and a bit of wild west action.             Quintessence3 reviews Betty Cornfield, Owen Edwards Three Rivers Press, 1983 The writing in Quintessence is quintessential. Buy this book if only for the opening essay, 'Sense and Quintessence', which has to be the most erudite, insightful, historical, philosophical, piece written on the subject. It is, in fact, quintessential. All my life I have recognized 'the thing in and of itself'...the genuine article...the real McCoy...the person or object with real soul. Cornfeld and Owens have given me the words - ...              search for books anthony, astronomy, ballycloran, brigadier, business, canongate, case-book, classic, classics, collector, complete, dictionary, discovery, elephants, exploits, eyewitness, lifting, macdermots, modernism, nobility, nonsense, pussy-cat, quintessence, rediscovered, reminiscences, scarlet, science, sherlock, succeed, trollope books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
