Ajax: The Complete Reference (Complete Reference Series)
Thomas Powell

As the title of the book says it... a great reference book

Catastrophes and Lesser Calamities: The Causes of Mass Extinctions
Tony Hallam
Oxford University Press, USA, 2005
Another Nail in the Coffin of Simplicity and Uniformitarianism
I guess this is a tough little book for some. Certainly other reviewers have said so. It's not mere armchair science or Discovery Channel drama. Rather it's a lucid and well supported statement of an hypothesis, that the five great extinction events at the ends of the ...

Comets, Stars, the Moon, and Mars: Space Poems and Paintings
Douglas Florian
Harcourt Children's Books, 2007
A "Universal" treat!
I think Douglas Florian's new book, 'comets, stars, the moon and mars' is his most expressive yet.
Beginning with the poem "skywatch," two children look at the sky. The next poem is "the universe."
Die cut "planet" holes move the reader deeper and further through ...

Ten Speed Press, 2003
Either know how or learn fast!
This is the book that answers all those redundant questions us vegans have to endure constantly! "So what do you eat? Don't you miss meat or cheeseburgers?" The general public has no idea how much money, effort and time THEY actually spend eating meat/dairy foods ...

Good Read, Better Than Expected
First let me say that I am a huge fan of Sci-Fi and have been reading this genre for over 30 years. This is the first book by Jack Mcdevitt I have read and was shocked that this writer had slipped under my radar for all of that time! This will not be the last Mcdevitt ...

The Crimson Comet
Stephen Krensky
HarperCollins, 2006
The Crimson Comet
Morrissey has a wonderful style. He goes back to the tin metal and a chipped paint look of WW1. It's a unique style and we often use it in our paintings. Hope he has other book up and coming in 2007. :D
