Elaborate and Realistic: crown of Chekov
Inspired by a real-life incident of the death of a sea gull, this is hailed as the best written play by Chekov, The Sea Gull tells a poignant love story centered on literaray nonentity Konstantin's tragic quest for a burgeoning actress Nina. Swirling around the country estate are characters who reflect Konstantin's pain and suffering in their own harshly realistic ways. In this famed play, ...

Classic pre-war aviation
This book will appeal to all aviation buffs. Alex Henshaw, who won the King's Cup in 1938 and later went on to serve as chief test pilot at Castle Bromwich (see his other book, "Sigh for a Merlin"), recounts his various adventures: (1) successfully competing in air racing; (2) touring Europe and Africa with his father, in a de Havilland Leopard Moth; (3) learning to fly the Perceival Mew Gull; ...
The Gulls of the Edmund Fitzgerald

Not something I would read to my child.
The review indicates that this book is appropriate for children 4 to 8 years of age. The words in the book are appropriate for that age range and it has very good pictures and presents in an extremely short form the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald. It also references a couple of other ships that sank. Personally, I would rather stick to lighthearted/silly books to read to my children or for my ...

Gulls: Guide to Identification

Great descriptions and photos leave you wishing for more.
This is it: this book will enable you to master the gulls. This book, and hundreds or thousands of hours studying the birds, that is. Gulls are a pain, and no book can change that. But Grant does a good job spelling out everything you're going to need to figure out. The hundreds of photographs (inappropriate for a field guide, but perfect for a supplemental guide) are themselves a reason to ...

Ebb & Flo and the Greedy Gulls
Ebb is a dog and Flo, a girl of 6-9 years old is her owner. They picnic at the beach, and seagulls steal their lunch. Flo blames Ebb, and Ebb, who is innocent, goes to sulk in their boat. A storm drives the boat out to sea and it crashes on some rocks. When Flo recovers Ebb, she apologizes for falsely accusing her dog. Pastel illustrations capture the mood and delight the eye with textures ...

The best book on gulls EVER!
This is the best book on gulls ever! There are at least ten full color, extremely detailed photos for each species. On the captions for the photo it names the bird and gives what state of its life it is at, it describes the photo of the bird, and it gives the location, and date of the photo and the photographers name. On some photos there is a gull in the background and so that adds a little ...
A Gull's Story - A Tale of Learning about Life, the Shore, and the ABCs

Caryn and daughters Matty & Julia Recommend "A Gull's Story"
Being a lifelong resident of the Jersey Shore, I couldn?t resist buying ?The Gull?s Story? for my two daughters, ages 4 and 7. My little one spotted this book first because of the beautiful illustrations of the various birds and animals, but I have to admit, I was curious myself as to how this book would read and represent the shore area to others. We loved it so much, I was forced to buy ...

Finally a rather massive, but useful and beautiful book on our gulls
The size and massive detail in this new book on identifying the gulls of the Northern Hemisphere is likely to deter most readers from more than a cursory leafing through its lovely paintings and photographs. But if you're curious to learn more about these common but highly varied, many-shades-of-gray birds around us, and you happen to live in a coastal area as I do, with more than a few gulls ...

Hit the beach!
Cathie Katz's amusing drawings and text should inspire every Florida resident and visitor to hit the beach. How many of us wander the beaches, picking up this and that, wondering just what the heck it is. This book will tell you...and a lot more. A small collection of sea beans and mermaid's purses has already amassed on my porch; as for the laughing gulls, I'll admire them in their natural ...

An Amazing Book!
I loved it! The Divorce of Gulls was introduced to me by a coworker for the info on the Medfly that she found interesting! And I read that small portion to pacify her and I had to read the rest! Such wonderful insights on human behavior! Mr. Jordan has a wonderful sense of humor! I love the way he reflects on life. It's not a subject that I normally read about: bats, rats, roaches, science ...
