books about: océans     books:       Song for the Blue Ocean: Encounters Along the World's Coasts and Beneath the Seas32 reviews Carl Safina Henry Holt & Company, 1998 Absolute poetry I'm only about halfway through this book, but it's so moving that I decided I needed to rave now. Carl Safina uses an amazing grasp of language to paint mental pictures of what he writes about. I work in the scientific community and have spent a lot of time on that water, and his writings are not only objective and scientifically sound, he constructs them in such a way that they are beautiful. ...             Inside the Titanic (A Giant Cutaway Book)36 reviews Hugh Brewster Madison Press Book - Little, Brown & Company, 1997 good book for kids this is a good book for kids who are intersted in titanic.my nephew love this book,buys every book he can find on it.             The Noble Wilds63 reviews Supreme Master Ching Hai Love Ocean Creative International Company, Lt, 2008 It is a must have for all human beings I have never read any kids' collection which is so deeply touching, so divinely beautiful and so cute with all the pictures of little animals like squirrels and the new born swans. Their cuteness were all beautiful catpured. Their growth and the unconditional love from their parents cannot be compared to that from us human parents sometimes. Also when I saw the sharing of food among the litte ...             Oceans Apart43 reviews Karen Kingsbury Avon, 2008 This book will make you think This book is outstanding! Kingsbury does an excellent job of capturing real human emotions. She is not afraid to create flawed characters with real emotions who are dealing with a heart wrenching situation. It was very easy to relate to the characters and to feel what they were feeling. Many Christian authors stick with fluffy topics and create too perfect characters. I commend Kingsbury for ...             Lieutenant Hornblower (Hornblower Saga)49 reviews C. S. Forester Audio Literature, 1999 Among the better of the Hornblower books This is the sixth Hornblower book I've read, although it's only the second in terms of the chronology of Hornblower's naval career. And I must say, it's one of the better books. CS Forester could be a compelling writer, but some of the Hornblower novels feel a little disjointed. Not this one. Lieutenant Hornblower is written from the point of view of Lieutenant Bush, whom Hornblower meets ...             Paddle-to-the-Sea (Sandpiper Books)67 reviews Holling C. Holling Houghton Mifflin, 1980 Paddle to the Sea I LOVE all of Holling Clancy Holling's books, but I have to admit that Paddle to the Sea is my favorite. The story of a little boy who carved a little man in a wooden canoe, and the adventures encounterd by the little man just captured my imagination. I never knew the Great Lakes until after feeling as though I had been there with Paddle to the Sea. H.C. Holling books are works of art packed with ...             Pure Sea Glass: Discovering Nature's Vanishing Gems40 reviews Richard LaMotte, Sally Lamotte Crane Chesapeake Seaglass Pub., 2004 Highly recommended for sea glass lovers I have recently became interested in sea glass after finding a few beautiful peices when I ordered this book. I was not dissappointed! This book is very informational and beautifully illustrated. I found a match for a peice I had found in the book, allowing me to date the peice. I love this book and will keep in on my coffee table along with my display of my precious finds! It's a joy just ...             Titanic: An Illustrated History41 reviews Ken Marschall, Donald Lynch Hyperion Books, 1992 Favorite Titanic Book This is my favorite Titanic book. It includes everything to a dinner with Bruce Ismay discussing his idea of 3 olympic class ships, to try and try to beat out the Cunard Line to how it affects us now. The pictures are amazing and leave me in awe, everytime I look at them. This book is on the top self, in room, and am very proud to say, this is my alltime favorite book.             Inside Passage: Living With Killer Whales, Bald Eagles, and Kwakiutl Indians34 reviews Michael Modzelewski Harpercollins, 1991 Real Deal I live in Alaska and a friend recommended Mr. Modzelewski's book. And now I recommend it to the world. Sure, there's the usual descriptions of animals, ocean, weather and solitude but what makes this book special is the author goes so much deeper into the Spirit behind things. Haven't stopped thinking about his experiences and it's been a month now since I finished the book.             The cruel sea (Cardinal giant)79 reviews Nicholas Monsarrat Pocket Books, 1953 Ping . . . . . . Ping . . . . . . Ping . . . . . . Ping . . . . . . Ping . . . . . . The unrelenting echo of the sonar punctuates this understated J. Arthur Rank film with a taut atmosphere of suspense. Novelist Eric Ambler's intelligent script remains faithful to Nicholas Monserrat's novel about the last voyage of HMS Compass Rose and all who sailed on her. The splendid performances of Jack Hawkins as her captain and Donald Sinden as his First Mate bring the novel to life, as do ...             David Doubilet: Water, Light, Time: Postcards27 reviews Phaidon Press, 2002 Absolutely amazing! Not only the pictures are artistically and beautifully photographed, but one cannot not wonder how Mr. Doubilet could be right there at the moment, with the right lights and the right angles to capture such incredible photos. If you appreciate nature's beauty and photography, this book is a must.             Torpedo Junction: U-Boat War Off America's East Coast 194226 reviews Homer Hickam Turtleback Books Distributed by Demco Media, 1991 Excellent ! Reads like a Clancy thriller. I recommend this book along with Michael Gannon's "Operation Drumbeat" so one can understand the havoc wreaked by German U boats along the Eastern seaboard against totally unprepared and in many cases complacent ships in the early days of World War II.             Exploring the Titanic26 reviews Robert D. Ballard Scholastic, 1988 Titanic Do you like old ships? Well, I know the right one for you. It is the Titanic. It is about a ship that hit an ice berg and went down. So go under water with Dr.Robert Ballard and explore the Titanic. Good Luck! This book is recommended for 8 and up.             Dolphins at Daybreak (Magic Tree House, No. 9) (A Stepping Stone Book(TM))23 reviews Mary Pope Osborne Random House Books for Young Readers, 1997 Dolphins at Daybreak Dolphins at Daybreak is a story about two kids that go own an adventure. The story takes place in a magic tree house with two kids named Jack and Annie. The story starts out with Annie wanting Jack to go to the magic tree house. There they meet Morgan Le Fay and she is the master librarian for the tree house and gives Jack and Annie a folded piece of paper with a riddle in it and an ...             Night Lives On24 reviews Walter Lord Jove, 1987 Updated information to supplement _A Night to Remember_ Calling this 'the sequel to _A Night to Remember_' is slightly misleading. Rather than the storytelling style employed to relate the story of the sinking of the Titanic, this is almost a collection of 17 1-chapter essays about various points of the disaster. Excellent stuff, but if you were expecting, say, the story of the Congressional and Parliamentary investigations of the disaster, you need ...             Strong men armed: The United States Marines against Japan24 reviews Robert Leckie Ballantine Books, 1969 Leckie is a Joy Robert Leckie is one of the best writers of history and this maybe his best work. This is a clear, concise, comprehensive account of the Island War in the Pacific. Clearly written, Leckie puts his reader into the picture while teaching, producing a potent combination of entertainment and learning. You can get hooked on history reading Leckie; I did as a teenager. Robert Leckie lived many ...             The Discovery of the Titanic25 reviews Robert D. Ballard Grand Central Publishing, 1995 Excellent Book This is a sensational book.I have read this one quite a bit. I love the bit where they find the boiler on the bottom of the ocean. It talks about the trials they went through trying to find the elusive Titanic.Nobody had seen that ship since it sunk in 1912. I have always loved reading about that ship,something about the whole story has fascinated me. I think the era it all happened in,as ...             Black Wave: A Family's Adventure at Sea and the Disaster That Saved Them23 reviews Jean Silverwood Random House, 2008 An inspiring account of fortitude, and the perseverance of the human spirit. The authors present the story of adventure and crises in an honest and compelling fashion. The identity of each of the family members is written so as to provide an asymmetrical perspective of their joy, hardships, and terror while on the journey. The back story of the family is woven into the narrative in a way that facilitates seamless transitions between the voyage and situations throughout ...             CLEAR THE BRIDGE (Bantam War Book Series)26 reviews Richard O'Kane Bantam, 1981 RADM Dick O'Kane is The Man Outstanding read---puts you on the submarine, with all the tension and excitement---and yes, the inherent boredom. I'm a former submariner and my old CO (Dennis Oltraver, CAPT, USN---who went from E-1 to O-6---so quite a man in himself) knew O'Kane and copied much of his leadership style. In turn, I copied my CO---when I read Clear the Bridge, I was amazed at how I knew what O'Kane would do ...             Holy Bible: King James Version, Complete27 reviews Topics Entertainment, 2006 awesome collection for on the go studying this is a great set to listen to in your car while driving. it puts you in a positive mood and makes driving more pleasant. i like to listen to the same cd as i am reading. ex. i am presently study the book of acts, it might take me a week to get through so i will listen to the book of acts on cd the whole week. next week will be romans,etc. i also have the bible on dvd that i watch 1x a week. ...              search for books adventure, against, america, beneath, cardinal, complete, daybreak, disaster, discovering, discovery, dolphins, doubilet, encounters, exploring, history, hornblower, illustrated, junction, kwakiutl, lieutenant, marines, paddle-to-the-sea, passage, postcards, sandpiper, stepping, titanic, torpedo, vanishing, version books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
