books by Firefly Books     books:       The Backyard Astronomer's Guide65 reviews Terence Dickinson, Alan Dyer Firefly Books, 2008 Best beginners astronomy book This is a great book for those interested in visual astronomy with a telescope. Probably my favorite for beginners. Has excellent tips on what kind of scope to get and how to find objects to view. Very easy to read. A must read for anyone interested in a telescope or anyone who as recently obtained one.             Astronomy 2010 (Calendar)1 review Firefly Books, 2009 Astronomy Calendar I am very pleased, as always since 2002 when I started buying this calendar each year, and entertained with my Astronomy Calendar. The images are 'heavenly' and make great viewing. There's great information on each 'box' date on the Galaxy, present and past, and the space for each day is nice and large.             World Heritage Sites: A Complete Guide to 878 UNESCO World Heritage Sites4 reviews Firefly Books, 2009 WOW -- a perfect gift for the well traveled explorer ! this is a fabulous document! it's the perfect gift at a bargain price, for the well traveled explorer ! as an architect, i was delighted to receive my own personal copy ... it certainly has helped me realize how many special places throughout the world .. that I MUST see ! this book includes everything from A to Z ... and i continue to buy more and more copies ... and give them to my ...             Love You Forever896 reviews Robert N. Munsch Firefly Books, 1995 Simple and magical I bought this book for my 21 year old son for Christmas. It was our favorite when he was a child.             Weather 2010: With daily weather trivia (Calendar) Firefly Books, 2009 Weather is beautiful, threatening, moody and capricious. It can paint a dazzling face on a winter morning or wreak disaster at a moment's notice. Even at its most ordinary, weather is endlessly fascinating in its variability. In Weather 2010 , world-renowned photographers present remarkable and often breathtaking images of a range of atmospheric conditions, from a dark horizon fractured by lightning to the terrifying funnel cloud of a tornado. ...             Optical Illusions: The Science of Visual Perception (Illusion Works)3 reviews Al Seckel Firefly Books, 2009 Nice book, very misleading title. One of the most beautiful and wonderful books I own is Al Seckel's "Masters of Deception: Escher, Dali & the Artists of Optical Illusions" (2004). Unlike most other books on illusions, the book itself is a creative tour de force. And Seckel supplements his creation with visually striking and important media at his website. I think I've already given away as many as ten copies of that book to ...             Clueless in the Kitchen: A Cookbook for Teens and other Beginners (The Clueless series)25 reviews Evelyn Raab Firefly Books, 1998 Don't let the title fool you This book may say "for teens", and when I read "teens", I thought, cinnamon toast and french bread pizzas. These are all full-fledged meals, "made from scratch" recipes that ANYBODY can do. I find this cookbook very informative and easy to understand; you WILL use this book!             Once Upon a Potty -- Boy109 reviews Alona Frankel Firefly Books, 2007 Got the point across quickly This book worked well for giving my son the idea of going potty. Best of all, he found the part where Joshua was trying to figure out what the potty was for very humerous so he wanted to read it often. I agree with others about the terms used, but since he can't read, I just substituted the words I preferred. The author gets across the point that sometimes it takes time to learn and also time to ...             NightWatch: A Practical Guide to Viewing the Universe106 reviews Terence Dickinson Firefly Books, 2006 simply awesome If you are a beginner star gazer like me and know nothing about stars and planetary location, this book will guide you to open up your eyes to the wonderful unknown world. It is detailed but will not overwhelm you with information like so many other books out there. I highly recommend to others.             Once Upon a Potty -- Girl95 reviews Alona Frankel Firefly Books, 2007 Tried and true method I got this book when my boy was potty training (the boy's version). He is over 40 now. Every once in awhile he reminds me of some of the pages in the story that he remembers. That's a pretty big impression, don't you think? I recommend this book for anyone who needs to introduce potty training in a positive way.             Turtles 2010 (Calendar) Firefly Books, 2009 Two hundred million years ago, these self-contained creatures shared Earth with the dinosaurs. Yet long after the demise of their contemporaries, turtles live on. It is not surprising, then, that they have been associated with strength, endurance and longevity throughout history, however slowly they may move. In Turtles 2010 , world-renowned photographers catch an intriguing array of these ancient reptiles on film. The detailed images provide a ...             Vogue Fashion: Over 100 years of Style by Decade and Designer, in association with Vogue Linda Watson Firefly Books, 2008 Comprehensive and lavishly illustrated -- a who's who of fashion.

Firefly Books, 2009 Science as adventure I first heard about the Census on Marine Life in the news this past summer. So I was interested to come across this book. Apparently this is the "official" book (at least for non-scientists) about the census. It's quite something, when you think about it, the idea of counting every species in the ocean. This is a gorgeous book. What I like is that not only is it packed with beautiful pictures ...             Hummingbirds 2010 (Calendar)2 reviews Firefly Books, 2009 Hummingbird Wall Calendar I bought one of these calendars last year and loved it and was so happy to find another one this year. Large blocks for you to write in appointments etc. I'm a lover of hummingbirds and the color of the artwork is gorgeous. Highly recommended for hummingbird lovers.             National Audubon Society Guide to Nature Photography: Digital Edition6 reviews Tim Fitzharris Firefly Books, 2008 Finally a Digital Edition from Tim I have been a fan of Tim Fitzharris since I was a boy. I use to read his early Audubon books and dream of being a wildlife photographer. Tim Fitzharris has done it again only this time a digital version. He covers histograms, and has a great chapter on exposure. This is by far one of his best works yet. I'm looking forward to the new digital version of Photographing National Parks. Tim has proven ...             The Complete Book of Small-Batch Preserving: Over 300 Recipes to Use Year-Round16 reviews Ellie Topp, Margaret Howard Firefly Books, 2007 Good Things from Small Books 5 Stars!

I love our National Parks, and have visited seven of them so far. I wish I'd had this book before I started. It has coffee-table book quality images, providing the views that we all aspire to. There's good photography tips in here, as well. You'll enjoy looking through this book even if you've never stepped foot in any of these parks -- but I'll bet after reading it, you'll schedule your own ...             The Cake Decorator's Motif Bible: 150 Fabulous Fondant Designs with Easy-to-Follow Charts and Photographs11 reviews Sheila Lampkin Firefly Books, 2007 Best book ever!
