Aquarium Corals : Selection, Husbandry, and Natural History
58 reviews

Extremely in depth book, a must have for coral enthusiasts!
This book is extremely deep in its explanation of all of the families of corals found in saltwater reef aquariums. Its a pretty heavy read, and I recommend something a little more basic if you are just getting into reef aquariums. This is my second book on corals, after a more basic and general saltwater hobby book. Had I not read the first one, I would have been a little overwhelmed by this ...

The BIBLE for goatkeepers.
This is a highly technical treatise oriented especially for Brits. Don't let that scare you though - it is a terrific book worthy of shelf space on any serious goatkeeper's library. I have not found a better source within one book for dairy goat information. You'll find a lot of useful information if you're wishing to learn about dairy goat farming. If, however, you also want to learn about meat ...

Come here come here come here go away
Jane Goodall (no, not that Jane Goodall) writes from the perspective of a woman who has been through the "Come here come here come here go away" relationship. You know this one. He pursues you. He wants you. He leaps tall buildings in a single bound to be with you. And the second he thinks you might have fallen for him, he disappears. I'd managed to get through most of my life without this ...

Review from a Ferret Breeder's Point of View
This is a very informative and easy to read book even for beginning ferret owner. It presents a interesting viewpoint of ferret husbandry from a "working ferret" prospective. Many of the health problems, in particular - parasite infestation, facing a "working ferret" are not an issue in the United States. But luckily Austrialia does not have the health problems related to ECE. Neither do they ...

funny
This book arrived as expected. It was exactly what I hoped for: a fun book to serve as a break between formal informational books that I read to keep current for work and general information. It was a quick read, funny, very entertaining. Passed it on to a couple of girlfriends and they enjoyed it too.

this book is biased
i was really put off by the author's theory of horse evolution. The authors are biased toward special creation, which sounds stupid to me. It sounds like someone who is trying too hard to make the bible more believable to scientists. National geographic magazine says Darwin was correct. I don't think a school textbook is the proper place to talk about Noah's Ark, or any religious references at ...

A must have for those interested in Boids!
This is a book that you simply must have if you are at all interested in the keeping and or breeding of Boa and Python snakes. This is one of the most complete works on the subject available to date. It is an easy reading book that even though there are some technical discussions, even an amature hobbyist will be able to follow along. Advanced hobbyists will also learn things from this book ...

A wonderful reference manual for the amature Herp Hobbyist
This book contains a great deal of information on nearly every species, including most of the necessary information to properly maintain and breed these animals in captivity. It is the best, most informative, and most packed with facts book I have found to date on Geckos. I recomend this book highly.

Good living in the country without tons of money.
Nathan Griffith's "Husbandry" tells how anyone can achieve a good living in the country, even if they don't have lots of money. It's the only book of its kind I have seen, giving the author's first-hand, no-nonsense accounts of good living by sustainable management of rather small, cheap parcels of land. The author is a classically trained musician, but for many years has lived primarily from the ...

Pairs excellent color photos with practical advice
This specific guide is a 'must' for any involved in the captive breeding of tarantulas. It originally appeared in German and here enjoys an English translation and an update, providing a blend of introductory details on the tarantula's life and natural history and specific requirements of keeping tarantulas in captivity. From bites to tarantula diseases and accounts of 40 of the more commonly ...
Husband-ry 101, How to Train Your Husband to Be the Spouse You've Always Wanted Him to Be
6 reviews, 2008
24 years too late
Packed with great, common sense advice for married couples (the title is a bit misleading--it's not just for women), Husband-ry 101 is an easy-to-read primer that entertains as it educates. As a woman who has been married almost a quarter of a century, I can say that this book is a "must buy" for newlyweds. I just wish it had been around 24 years ago!
