Three things stood out about this book that I did not see anywhere else: 1. It has a cookbook approach. After looking at other books I was not completely clear when in time to do what task. This book arranges all the tasks in the chronological order. That facilitated for grasping the whole process mentally before beginning to ...             A Guide to the Birds of Panama12 reviews Robert S. Ridgely, John A.

I first read this book years ago as a child. Perhaps the few reviewers on here who do not like the book (and use this review as an outlet for their own personal politics) on here do not realize that parents, teachers, community leaders and religious leaders hardly shelter kids from the outside world as it is, and this book will not upset children, ruin their happiness or waste their childhood at ...             Mickey Mouse Clubhouse: Are We There Yet?

While the author has compassion for Treadwell and values him as a human being, he does not sugar coat his behavior and actions that ultimately contributed to his death. A great read for bear enthusiasts and those interested in Timothy Treadwell.

There are no grand claims, no easy solutions, but the hope that as we know more about what is happening, ...             Pelican Watch4 reviews Rose Senehi Ingalls Pub/High Country, 2007 Great Beach Read Im not much of a reader myself b/c it has always been hard for me to get into books.

All else aside it is a great book for anyone intested in ...             A Hot Planet Needs Cool Kids: Understanding Climate Change and What You Can Do About It4 reviews Julie Hall Green Goat Books, 2007 Belongs in Every Middle School Classroom!
