I had been given a department store telescope as a kid, and was discouraged by the fact that you really couldn't observe anything other than the moon with it. This book gave me the confidence to go out and buy a reasonably expensive telescope, and get it up and running with almost no assistance from anyone ...             Type 1 Diabetes in Children, Adolescents and Young Adults, Second Edition17 reviews Ragnar Hanas Firefly Books, 2006 So far, so good! I have only received this book recently, so I have not read the whole thing. The author doesn't recommend reading it from cover to cover, but to use it more as a reference. I started reading it at the beginning and am now on page 46. It is so interesting, and easy to read, that I see no reason NOT to read it straight through! Even though a lot of the information is technical, it is written in ...             Stencilling on a Grand Scale : Using Simple Stencils to Create Visual Magic15 reviews Sandra Buckingham Firefly Books, 2000 Great for beginners and Experts I purchased this book 2 years ago.

Firefly Books, 2003 For those who keep fish as pets The fish hobby is made up of two different types of people. Some hobbyists do not really bother to understand their fish, they simply buy replacements when the current ones die. The second type of fish-keeper wants to know as much information as he or she can on the types of fishes they keep. This book would be of most value to the second type. Sometimes, we mistakenly assume that fish are ...             Clueless in the Kitchen: A Cookbook for Teens and other Beginners (The Clueless series)21 reviews Evelyn Raab Firefly Books, 1998 Cooking for the stupid...

It even includes a complete list of what to get for a starter kitchen.             I Promise I'll Find You18 reviews Heather Patricia Ward Firefly Books, 2005 A treasure not reserved for parents and children... I purchased this book for my little sister in 1998. I wrote an inscription in the front promising her that, no matter where she goes, I promise I'll find her. I'd since forgotten about the book until my sister passed away a few weeks ago and her teacher told me that she had just read the book to her the day before, including my note to her. I now have the book in my possession and it will ...             Insects: Their Natural History and Diversity: With a Photographic Guide to Insects of Eastern North America13 reviews Stephen A. Marshall Firefly Books, 2006 A top basic reference pick for serious science libraries. Stephen A. Marshall's INSECTS: THEIR NATURAL HISTORY AND DIVERSITY isn't for the general-interest holding so much as the college-level collection catering to entomologists or students of such. Insects of Eastern North America are the focus in a jam-packed colorful reference displaying insects within their order and including notes on their introduction, habitats, coloring and more. It's the ...             The Group of Seven and Tom Thomson11 reviews David P. Silcox Firefly Books, 2003 Canada's painters After viewing a Tom Thompson art show in Ottawa, Canada, I became mesmerized and hooked on Tom Thompson.(Previous to the show, he was an unknown to me. No references in my art history classes!) I read about his short life and mysterious death. I became enamored of his style of painting, anxious to try it myself. I bought my first copy of this book as a gift for someone else. After seeing what a ...             National Audubon Society Guide to Landscape Photography19 reviews Firefly Books, 2007 Finally! Someone Gets It Right! Yeah, you need to get this book. This is the photography book I've been looking for. Tim Fitzharris doesn't just take stunning photographs, he disects photos and goes through the thought process so that the reader can understand what it was about the scene that caused him to frame it the way he did. He doesn't just say "follow your heart" or "discover what the scene is trying to tell you" or ...             The Complete Stenciling Handbook8 reviews Sandra Buckingham, Bernard Clark Firefly Books Ltd, 2002 Sandra is THE Stenciling godess!

Fantastic!             Front Yard Gardens: Growing More Than Grass10 reviews Liz Primeau Firefly Books, 2003 real yards, real houses, real people So many gardening books focus on the high-end gardens of a few wealthy people. This book is practical, whimsical, and full of photographs and stories about real front-yard gardens. The owners have to contend with problems like streetlights, copycat neighbors, variances, etc., and many of them are redesigning and planting on a budget. This focus makes the book truly inspiring as well as useful. ...             The Universe and Beyond9 reviews Terence Dickinson Firefly Books, 2004 A good general text for the beginning astronomer A friend and I are taking an intro to astonomy course and this is one of the recommended texts. I can certainly see why. It's a very clearly written work with a heavy emphasis on planetary and solar astronomy and a lucid discussion of stellar objects visible with personal telescopes, subjects that the noviate astronomer is most likely to find of interest. The author also dedicates two chapters ...             The Rolling Stones: In the Beginning9 reviews Bent Rej Firefly Books, 2006 UNUSUAL Bent certainly captured the uniqueness of Brian Jones and his Stones in this collection. Much humor was filmed that many can say is absolutely priceless! Especially Mr. Jones camping in his undergarments. Those were the days!             Rotten Island8 reviews William Steig Firefly Books Ltd, 1996 Ultimate transformation William Steig, now 93, made his foray into children's literature late, in 1968. By then, he had already been drawing cartoons and illustrations for the New Yorker for 38 years. And it was by no means certain that his launch into children's books, where large numbers of titles die each year, would succeed. The late great New Yorker illustrator Arthur Getz, who in 50 years produced 213 of the ...             The Hockey Handbook: The Classic Teaching Guide10 reviews Lloyd Percival Firefly Books, 1997 The best book on hockey ever!

It's a very personal effort, an hommage to his late father, who was born in the little town of Mussomeli in central Sicily and who came to the U.S. in 1905. The elder Baratta was a man of strong opinions; for example, he didn't consider many mainland Italians to be ...             Canoe Paddles: A Complete Guide to Making Your Own9 reviews Graham Warren, David Gidmark Firefly Books, 2001 fabulous book, fabulous book, covers in detail what you need to know to make a fine paddle, including relative expansion rates of popular woods for paddle making, highly recommended to save your self from making lots of scrap from perfectly good paddle blanks.              search for books adolescents, aquarium, beginners, beginning, children, clueless, conifers, cookbook, diabetes, diversity, environment, everything, gardening, gentleman, handbook, landscape, national, nightwatch, parenthood, photographic, photography, practical, pregnancy, prevention, sicilian, stenciling, stencilling, stencils, teaching, universe books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
