A Path to Recovery for Mothers Who Lost Children to Adoption35 reviews Joe Soll, Karen Wilson Buterbaugh Gateway Press, Inc., 2003 Very Therapeutic I thought this book was wonderful. It definitely helped me to realize that I wasn't alone in my feelings and fears, decades after losing a baby to adoption. I feel it has helped me to face the truths of just how things happened and helped me to realize that it was not only not my decision but it was not my fault. I was given no choice and this book helped me to realize that. It has been very ...             Garden Insects of North America: The Ultimate Guide to Backyard Bugs (Princeton Field Guides)29 reviews Whitney Cranshaw Princeton University Press, 2004 Garden Insects I bought this book for my grandsons when they visit because they love collecting bugs of any type. It is an excellent book for finding the insect they have collected and give it the correct common name. They love going through the photos of insect parts and learning the names.             Reef Fish Identification CD ROM45 reviews Paul Humann New World Publications, 1997 Fish ID Book The book is excellent and I am looking forward to obtaining more of a similar nature from this author.             Handwriting Analysis : Putting It to Work for You52 reviews Andrea McNichol, Jeffrey Nelson McGraw-Hill, 1994 Hooked I am absolutely hooked to this book and Graphology in general. I had a guy read my handwriting and the accuracy of his statements was shocking. So I had to find out more about it. This is by far the best written textbook that I have ever read.             Florida's Living Beaches: A Guide for the Curious Beachcomber29 reviews Witherington; Dawn and Blair Pineapple Press (FL), 2007 Excellent companion book I bought this book for a friend who was going to Florida but after I read through it I knew I had to have one for myself, so I actually purchased two of these books. It is so informative and everything is divided into separate sections making it very easy to read. Florida tourism should have this book available at their welcome center, it's that informative! For information about what's on a ...             Caterpillars of Eastern North America: A Guide to Identification and Natural History (Princeton Field Guides)37 reviews David L. Wagner Princeton University Press, 2005 Invaluable Resource! Here in Texas, it is difficult to find "eastern" guides that can be helpful with our fauna in a relatively complete fashion, but this one certainly does it with style. Even though I have another book for butterfly larvae, I find that the images in this one are more useful and the information more complete, so I often check it first. And when it comes to moths, there simply is no other book that ...             Mammal Tracks & Sign: A Guide to North American Species29 reviews Mark Elbroch Stackpole Books, 2003 Bible Mammal Tracks and Scat: Life-Size Tracking Guide This is the bible for Mammal Tracking. This book is particularly helpful for intermediate and advanced trackers. That is because the book has an overwhelming amount of information. I am amazed at the breath of animal tracks and scat that Mark has encountered in such a short time. It is the most extensive collection of scat photography. The ...             Portraits of Guilt88 reviews Jeanne Boylan Atria, 2000 Excellent book about trauma and memory I've read a lot of good books about healing from trauma and the effects trauma has upon memory. I've also read a lot of books about the fallibility of memory that do not correctly take into account the actual experience of the trauma. Jeanne Boylan has succeeded in writing the first book that accurately addresses both sides of the understanding of memory. She clearly illustrates the way that ...             Mushrooms Demystified56 reviews David Arora Ten Speed Press, 1986 The Mother-ship of Mushroom Books If you want to learn about fungi, this is the book, actually the bible. I highly recommend this book.             The Reef Aquarium: A Comprehensive Guide to the Identification and Care of Tropical Marine Invertebrates ...20 reviews Julian Sprung Ricordea Publishing, 1994 Great Series This series is well worth every penny. You can find a lot of books for less but that is what you are getting. Save yourself some money and get the series that thoroughly do cover every aspect of the hobby in amazing detail. This series is amazing and you will love it. It is a bit scientific but it does not leave anything out.             Lichens of North America23 reviews Mr. Irwin M.

Collins Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 1998 herper's bible By far the best guide for the amateur or professional. No other guide can come close to this one. No fluff, no wasted space. It's been around since 1958 - frequently updated and appended. I can't count how many copies I've acquired over the years.             The Shorebird Guide27 reviews Michael O'Brien, Richard Crossley, ... Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2006 EXTREMELY USEFUL AND WELL DONE What a wonderful and useful work. Traditionally, shorebirds are some of the more difficult birds to identify. I know I have been struggling with them for over fifty years now and the situation does not get better with age; I assure you. The wonderful optics we have available now certainly help, but only to a point. These critters are still difficult, even for the very experienced. This ...             Insects: Their Natural History and Diversity: With a Photographic Guide to Insects of Eastern North America20 reviews Stephen A. Marshall Firefly Books, 2006 Superb Guide to Eastern North American Insects This is the insect book that you have always wanted, but were afraid did not exist. I have studied birds, wildflowers, butterflies, dragonflies, grasses, moths, etc., for years, and always found satisfactory field guides and natural history guides covering eastern North America. But I had bought all of the standard field guides to insects, and still felt at a loss when I tried to identify a ...             Provenance: How a Con Man and a Forger Rewrote the History of Modern Art21 reviews Laney Salisbury, Aly Sujo Penguin Press HC, The, 2009 A rival to Dan Brown If Dan Brown can mezmerize the planet with his breakneck tales of intrigue and coverup, Laney Salisbury has created her own masterful account of a gang of con men out of a Dan Brown epic. Except that Salisbury's figures actually exist. And that the story of forgery and deceit in the art world still taints the art market today. I urge everyone to read this brilliant book. For an historian, it's a ...             Tracking & the Art of Seeing: How to Read Animal Tracks & Sign23 reviews Paul Rezendes Camden House Pub, 1992 Amazing. I usually check out tracking and reading sign books from the library because I would rather spend my hard cash on backpacking gear, fuel, and tires to get up and down those rocky roads, but this book was one that I had to buy. Most tracking guides have sketches and if they have photos they usually are not very good quality. This book has amazing photos that will aid you in scat and sign ...             The Backyard Bird Feeder's Bible: The A-to-Z Guide To Feeders, Seed Mixes, Projects, And Treats (Rodale ...25 reviews Sally Roth Rodale Books, 2003 a wonderful resource for attracting birds This is a must-have guide to everything about attracting birds and things you need to be concerned about.
