3 out of 5 stars second edition-same book as first.......2007-08-19

I purchased the second edition since I have the first. Unfortunately, unless you are into the recent changes in the cocker spaniel field trials and field bred cockers, there is little or no changes. It is practically the same book. Since the first edition can be found in hardcover, and is a top gundog book, I would recommend buying that one unless you are interested in the cocker spaniel as a field dog.

5 out of 5 stars Must Read for All Flushing Spaniel Owners.......2005-06-17

This is the main flushing spaniel "handbook" that we send off with all our puppy clients. Mr. Spencer has a wonderful knack for spanielling and explains the ins and outs of a working American spaniel, minus the politics, in a simple manner that even our British cousins can appreciate. It is a book that will never go out of style and should sit on the shelf of every flushing spaniel owner's bookshelf.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent, great help in training.......2004-07-26

This is a must have book for all spaniel, or hope to be spaniel owners. It is exceptionally easy to follow and even fun to read. Anyone with some time, patience and this book can train a very good dog. The first part will help anyone who is undecided on which spaniel would be best for them.

5 out of 5 stars Marked by especially straightforward instructions and advice.......2003-08-09

Now in an updated second edition, HUP! Training Flushing Spaniels The American Way is a practical, user friendly, and very highly recommended instructional guide written by James B. Spencer, an award-winning dog and outdoor writer with over 500 magazine articles to his credit. From an examination of different types of flushing Spaniel breeds; to training a Spaniel from puppyhood in various retrieval and hunting techniques; to working certificate tests, and much, much more, HUP! Training Flushing Spaniels The American Way is marked by especially straightforward instructions and advice, based on years of professional experience.

5 out of 5 stars Best spaniel hunt book ever.......2002-04-14

I began training English Cocker Spaniels in the field some 14 yrs ago. A friend turned me onto this book and it has become my bible for training flushing spaniels. It is very common sense an even if you have never trained a spaniel before it is easy to follow. It also has a wonderful section on each breed which is of great help to those wanting to choose a spaniel hunting companion. Jim Spencer has made it easy for anyone to train a hunting companion in the field. Thanks Jim.

This is his latest Coca Cola pricing guide. All pictures are in color, unlike his big book that mixes color and b&w photos. It has helped me with my large CC colection but is far from being as complete as is his 11th volume. It is a good guide. BB

A terrific book for kids, frequent flyers, and armchair travelers alike, Window Seat is packed with curious facts and colorful illustration, proving that flying doesn't have to be a snooze. When it's possible to "read" the landscape from above, a whole world unfolds at your feet.

            3 out of 5 stars Interesting content, wrong title.......2007-04-11

            The book was interesting and full of cool photos...but it is poorly packaged and marketed. I picked up the book expecting it to be about air travel, planes, flight paths, etc, and what you see through the window on a flight from LAX to JFK, for example. Instead it is really just a geographical study of the country with photos from much higher in the air than a commercial aircraft ever goes - the photos are satellite. So while the content makes for an interesting read and does provide some context for what you see out the window of an airplane, the book is inappropriately titled.

            5 out of 5 stars An excellent introduction into reading landforms from the air.......2006-11-12

            I used to fly alot on commercial flights and bought this to explore further my interest in geography from an aerial perspective. I was instantly disappointed as the photographs, with two exceptions, were high resolution images taken from satellites! That said, I realize that to show the highlights the author draws us towards, the crisp, detailed images he supplied are helpful as learning guides to acquaint our eyes with what to look for by way of patterns and the like. And, the author does mention his use of these orbital images on pages 13-14.

            To understand why he took that approach, review the snapshot of the New York/Newark area on page 10. I've seen that view a number of times after leaving LaGuardia, heading south. Contrast that with the exquisite orbital image including the same area on pages 18-19. No comparison! Yet, the view on page 10 is what more of us would tend to see when we have a clear day, good sun angle, with clean, unscratched windows.

            Mr. Dicum probably meant for this to be a quick reference, quick start guide for armchair travelers to whet their appetities. For those wanting to see general landscape views and especially clouds as seen at 30,000 feet, look up the book of the same title by Julieanne Kost. Keep in mind this latter work supplies little geographical interpretation. But, it is the real thing!

            There is a dearth of works up to the claim of featuring aerial perspectives representative of the oblique views a passenger of commercial flights flying at 30,000 feet would see. The ones worth their salt, such as America from 500 Feet (Fortney & Fortney) and High Above the Canadian Rockies (Heinl) are outstanding, yet they capture tight, low altitude views more along the lines of that seen from a helicopter flight or a private plane. It may be that more people prefer close up shots rather than a spectacular wide angle view yielding slight detail.

            I'm surprised that previous reviewers, privy to the experience of peering out from aerial perspectives and disappointed at the substance of this work by Dicum, didn't share with amazon shoppers the best, readily available resource for assisting in identifying many landforms and objects as seen from aerial perspectives. Go to your local commuter airport (which the small, private planes utilize) and purchase the respective sectional aeronautical charts for the geographical areas you'll be flying over. The 1:500,000 scale is excellent for assisting you in deciphering where you are. There are 37 of these that cover the lower 48 states. These show power line swaths, tall structures of note like smokestacks, and airport runway configurations, the latter a real help in pinpointing where you are at a given moment. Caveat: be somewhat discreet in your airborne use of these lest some overimaginiative passengers draw sinister motives to your benign interest in the landforms below.

            4 out of 5 stars Helps flights go faster............2006-06-23

            I'm not going to touch on the aerial/satellite issue, as that's already been covered. It is a clever idea for a book, educational and fun, and when flying over major land formations like the Grand Canyon, it is useful. Since our snacks, movies, free drinks, etc have been taken away, looking out the window is just about the best entertainment left on a plane, and this book helps take advantage of that.

            1 out of 5 stars Stolen from another author.......2006-05-23

            Window Seat was stolen from a series of books entitled Window Seat published in Singapore in 2002. Everything: from the idea, the content, the design, the colouring and even down to the blurb on the back cover: was ripped off wholesale from the original Window Seat series, published in Singapore two years prior to the publication of this book. Gregory Dicum is a [...] and a thief.

            5 out of 5 stars Everything you need to take on the plane for an even more memorable trip!.......2006-05-22

            Here's one that's hard to categorize: seventy aerial photos give a fine landscape view of the earth and mimic what you'd see from the window seat of a plane - but that's not all. Here's map showing major flight paths, profiles of different North American region landforms and waterways, tips on spotting major sites from the air - everything you need to take on the plane for an even more memorable trip!

            4 out of 5 stars Groundbreaking scholarship from a women's point of view.......2006-05-13

            It is not useful to debate here whether this book is "Islamic enough" or whether Muslim women are oppressed in other countries. This book is a collection of articles by Muslim scholars in North America who are working to bring an alternative understanding of what Islam means in women's lives. It is not about what should be or what is in other places, it is about what is happening within a group of scholars in North America. And it does a good job of summarizing their scholarship, which in many ways is groundbreaking in the study of Islamic law and texts.

            5 out of 5 stars Islam in Theory is Perfect.......2003-05-09

            Contrary to one reviewer who is obviously not a Muslim woman therefore is lacking in empirical data nor is that person an Islamic scholar. In Iran there are more women in parliament than there are women in the US Senate and Congress combined. Muslim women are equal to Muslim men in intellect, soul, work, etc. This is Islam. This person relies on a weak hadith and does not know the difference between Islam and culture that has been superimposed onto Islam. Why in the home of the free are so many minds imprisoned and simply parrots of the media? For those who are not blind, read this book and learn.

            1 out of 5 stars Invent your own Islam.......2002-05-19

            Muslim women in America enjoy the intellectual and personal freedom to "invent" their own Islam, to remake their tradition into something a little less oppressive.
            Make no mistake about it, Mohammed was quoted in the Bukhari Hadith as stating that "women are deficient in intellect." Mohammed offered this as his explanation of why the Koran holds women's testimony to be worth half of that of a man.
            This book is wishful thinking made possible by the freedom of America. In Islam Central, Saudi Arabia, women cannot drive. In Kuwait they cannot vote. IN Jordan they can be killed with impunity by a male relative. In Bangladesh a discussion of women's rights can elicit attack by Islamic vigilantes.
            Muslim women are oppressed, it it not just our imagination, and it isn't a "Myth" cooked up by the West.

            5 out of 5 stars Windows of Faith: Muslim Women Scholar-Activists in North Am.......2000-06-29

            Muslim women are one of the most misunderstood and misinterpreted groups of people in the western world. This book offers a refreshingly realistic view by Muslim women themselves. It is a candid and honest analysis by an eclectic mix of professionals. They tackle issues from birth control, spirituality, culture versus religion, identity, and more. These essays will educate and enlighten anyone seeking true information about a religion that has been demonized and women who have been blanketly labeled oppressed.

            5 out of 5 stars How to attract hummingbirds to your garden.......2002-11-10


            The author, Mathew Tekulsky, is enthusiastic about hummingbirds, and his enthusiasm comes through in his word pistures of these little butterflies of the bird world whose wings beat so fast that they are invisible, like the blades of an airplane propeller.

            Let Mathew tell you how to attract them to your garden! The book is devoted single-mindedly to hummingbirds, how to make them welcome in your garden, and how to cultivate the flowers and other plants that will bring them in and grace your garden with the beautiful little creatures.

            This is a wonderful book for your horticultural library, as well as a great source of information on hummingbirds.
