Magical Writing
Upon reading the book to my 3rd grade class my students were mesmerized. They loved the pictures, the writing was easy to understand, and the story line came alive. Ray does an excellent job with the illustrations - they complement the author's beautiful words. Benoit Slawson's writing is absolutely wonderful - my students could not get enough of this book. In fact, we continued our storytime ...
Rainwater Harvesting for Drylands and Beyond (Vol. 2): Water-Harvesting Earthworks

A Great "How To" Guide for Landscape Water Conservation
This book deserves to be widely read, not just for people in the desert. I live in a region that gets nearly 45" of rainfall per year, and I can't wait to apply some of what I've learned from this great "how to" manual. Fresh water is a vanishing resource on our planet, and when we send it all down the storm drains, it makes its way from storm drain to stream to river to ocean: gone. To keep from ...
The Forager's Harvest: A Guide to Identifying, Harvesting, and Preparing Edible Wild Plants

Outstanding for the upper midwest
It would be a very difficult task indeed to create a book that really does a good job of treating edible wild plants from all of North America. The books that attempt to do so rely way too much on other written works (which have a lot of misinformation) and way too little on direct experience. Moreover, trying to cover a really broad range of plants means that the plants that are covered are ...

In-depth detail is vivid and brings the novel to life
Jodi Picoult's HARVESTING THE HEART receives actress Cassandra Campbell's warm and vivid reading as it tells of a mother who abandoned character Paige, and how her absence and memories affected her life. In-depth detail is vivid and brings the novel to life, making this a top recommendation for any interested in complex, high-quality novels with powerful characterization and equally powerful ...
Design for Water: Rainwater Harvesting, Stormwater Catchment, and Alternate Water Reuse

An Excellent Resource
I am recomming this book to my customers who are considering rainwater collection. The book contains detailed explanation of collecting rainwater as well as conveyance and storage. The only downside, from my perspective, is that the purification section is deficient. Rainwater today can contain mercury and pesticides in addition to particulate it collects as it falls. I felt this aspect of ...

"Rain Gardens: Managing Water Sustainably in the Garden and Designed Landscape" is a very useful book on water ...

Wonderful, readable, and essential
This is an incredible study of a topic that most of us don't think about much, that is, how we are wasting our rainwater, and what we could be doing instead. This is required reading for anyone who cares about the environment. Best, the book is highly readable, with excellent illustrations. I knew literally nothing about this topic before I read this book. Now I am a believer. The story of ...

Fantastic book
This is one fantastic book. It is loaded with information that has helped me find plants on my land that I would have never noticed. A must book to have.
Harvesting Hope: The Story of Cesar Chavez

Si Se Puede
Let's begin by saying that the drawings are super and captivating. Yuyi Morales creates characters that show emotion and the result is a drawing of emotion from the young reader. As the title implies this is the story of Cesar Chavez who many adults came to know about from his work with the farmworkers in California. This story humanizes the man by beginning in his childhood. The roots of the ...

Great for teachers, parents and art lovers
This book is presented in a child-friendly but never condescending manner, and it's filled with creative ideas for projects. Young artists, teachers and parents can all enjoy learning about Hundertwasser, his art and architecture style, and his passionate enthusiasm for the environment. I only wish I had been introduced to this inspirational artist as a child with such a book.

A masters notes.
The second edition of The Scythe Book was released this June and I am posting this before Amazon lists it as available, but I hope that will soon change. The original text by Dave Tresemer has not been re-edited. It is still a good introduction to this wonderful tool. The core of the new edition is the addendum by Peter Vido. Peter is extraordinarily dedicated to the scythe as both a practical ...

A great Hacking Exposed and VoIP security book
Hacking Exposed: VoIP (HE:V) is the sort of HE book I like. It's fashionable to think HE books are only suitable for script kiddies who run tools they don't understand against vulnerable services they don't recognize. I like HE books because the good ones explain a technology from a security standpoint, how to exploit it, and how to defend it. I thought HE:V did well in all three areas, even ...

Beautiful book and informative!
This book is great for a beginner. I went to the library to find a book that would tell me how to dry my valentine roses. I so thourghly enjoyed this book I am going to buy it for myself as well as for others as a gift. Not only does it tell you how to dry flowers, but it demonstrates step by step how to grow them, and different ways to arrange them. It has beautiful pictures in it with ...

I love Fluffy books!
I recommend Fluffy books. They are the best! I am going into second grade and I find these books challenging. Fluffy is a guinea pig living in a classroom with a teacher named Ms. Days. He has attitude but he is funny too. The chapters are not long.

great book for classroom
This book is a great book to use with a unit on fall. You can teach the 1st part of the book in the 1st two weeks of a 4 week unit and then teach the 2nd part of the book for the last two weeks of the unit. I have used this book to teach about apples and pumpkins to a two year old class and I will using it again to teach a 4 year old class. Be creative. The children can learn the names of the ...

Functional and fun for toddlers and babies
I picked this book up for my daughter (11 months) at the Kroger grocery thinking it would be a good book to incorperate into the books for the fall season. We began to read the book and she loves it. It is the same functional format and publisher as the books Words in my world and Noisy animals, which are great too! The book starts out introducing where food comes from and then takes you on to ...
