Book Description
The D-Day landings of 6 June 1944 were the largest amphibious military operation ever mounted. The greatest armada the world had ever seen was assembled to transport the Allied invasion force across the Channel and open the long-awaited second front against Hitler’s Third Reich. Of the landings on the five assault beaches, Omaha Beach was the only one ever in doubt. Within moments of the first wave landing a third of the assault troops were casualties. Yet by the end of D-Day the Atlantic Wall had been breached and the US Army’s V Corps was firmly entrenched on French soil.

A Fresh Look at a Well-Known Subject.......2003-08-27
The Battle of Gettysburg and the landings on Omaha Beach are two of the most covered subjects in American military history, and readers should approach any new books on these subjects with a great deal of caution. ... As usual, Zaloga does not disappoint and he is able to present a few facets of a well-known operation that are ignored in other accounts. In fact, Zaloga did considerable research at the National Archives and the Army War College library, which enabled him to do far more than merely summarize secondary sources.
Omaha Beach starts with a well-written introduction and chronology, followed by sections on opposing commanders (much better than in previous Zaloga volumes), and a 16-page section on opposing plans that is very interesting. The 6-page section on opposing armies is decent, although perhaps not as in-depth as some readers would like. The 45-page campaign narrative is well written and focuses primarily on the events on D-Day itself, devoting only a few pages to the expansion of the beachhead in the week after the invasion. Zaloga also includes a section on the battlefield today and an annotated bibliography. The maps are quite good in this volume and include four 2-D maps (German forces around Omaha, the assault landing plan, V Corps D-Day objectives, and V Corps D-Day operations) and three 3-D Bird's Eye View maps (the 16th RCT sector, the 116th RCT sector and Point du Hoc). The three color battle scenes by Howard Gerrard are: landings on Easy Red Beach, Dog Red Beach and Rangers at Point du Hoc. In addition, Zaloga has combed the NARA archives for some photographs that go beyond the standard D-Day images. Indeed, Zaloga consistently demonstrates that a good author can make even a well-worn topic seem fresh.
Zaloga clarifies a number of interesting but obscure points about D-Day. While several sources note Major General Corlett's suggestion to use amtracs as in the Pacific invasions, few follow this tantalizing lead. Zaloga notes that, "in fact, the US Army had shipped over 300 amtracs to Europe in 1944, but the lack of demand for their use in the Overlord plan meant that they were reserved for Operation Swordhilt, a contingency operation in which Patton's uncommitted Third Army was intended to reinforce Overlord in the event of failure at one of the beaches." Zaloga, the armor expert, also adds a great deal of clarity to the role of US tanks on Omaha Beach. Most sources tend to suggest that the majority of the armor foundered in the English Channel and thus the role of tanks was negligible. Zaloga points out that both DD and tanks with wading trunks were used, as well as Sherman dozer tanks. Although many of the DD tanks sank, enough of the tanks with wading trunks made it ashore to play a decisive role in silencing the German resistance nests. Furthermore, the popular idea that arrogant American commanders spurned the use of Britain's specialized armored engineer tanks is disputed by Zaloga; the V Corps did in fact request over 100 British "funnies," but British industry could not meet the demand in time for D-Day. Zaloga also does a fine job pointing out just how crucial naval support was in suppressing enemy defenses and making up for the lack of heavy weapons ashore. On the other hand, Zaloga notes that the Americans had not trained to employ close air support and had included no air liaison teams in the invasion force.
For the Germans, Zaloga notes that the shortage of artillery ammunition was a critical deficiency - by the evening of D-Day most of the nearby guns had exhausted their basic loads. Zaloga also does a great job detailing just how thick the fog of war was on Omaha on June 6, 1944 and how this greatly affected the command of control of both sides. One of the most interesting tidbits that Zaloga presents is a post-invasion study by the British that notes that the Germans had four times as many machineguns and three times as many anti-tank guns covering the Omaha Beach area compared to the defenses on the other beaches. The tidal conditions were also worse and the prepatory bombardment was much shorter than the British beaches. Finally, Zaloga notes that there has been a recent tendency to exaggerate the casualties on Omaha Beach - about 2,000 - and he places it in perspective by noting that the US Army suffered about 1,200 casualties every day in the weeks of hedgerow fighting that followed D-Day.

Book Description
The men who perform noble and heroic deeds merit the admiration of all intelligent people. This superb work contains the brilliant records of daring navigators and explorers, and pays them the honor of being makers of history. It tells the absorbing story of their struggles and sacrifices, their devotion to duty and splendid triumphs.
The Heroes whose names are recorded in this great work and who are worthy of a place among such illustrious adventurers as Magellan, Discoverer of the South Pacific; Fernando Cortes, the Conqueror of Mexico; Francisco Pizzaro, the Discoverer of Peru; Fernando De Sota, Discoverer of the Mississippi River; Balboa, Discoverer of the Pacific Ocean; Cabral, Discoverer of Brazil; Sir Martin Frobisher, Hero of the Northwest Passage; Sir Francis Drake, the Elizabethan Navigator; and John Davis, the second Arctic Navigator.
The Heroes were not the captains only, but the men of action and labor, who were faithful to the cause in which they enlisted, and dared to do their duty against great odds.
Unlike anything heretofore presented to the reader of history is the arrangement and plan of this superb volume. It has not been the aim of the author to follow the beaten track pursued by other writers, but rather to present a work which would be found especially adapted to the wants and tastes of the age in which we live.
This book is embellished with a great number of illustrations by renowned artists, portraying scenes in the world's most wonderful drama.
Book Description
The deserts of the American Southwest boast a remarkable diversity of drought-tolerant plant life, including many species found nowhere else on earth. And no group says "desert" quite like cacti. Their prickly nature notwithstanding, cacti and the desert habitats in which they reside are especially fragile. Indeed, Saguaro National Park and Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument were established primarily to protect the largest concentrations of these respective species. Others, such as the Pima pineapple cactus, are less conspicuous but also more rare and in need of special protection and conservation. In Cacti of the Desert Southwest, botanist Meg Quinn describes eighty-six of the most significant cacti found in the Sonoran, Chihuahuan, and Mojave deserts. For ease of identification, all are depicted in color photographs and those that bloom are shown in full flower. 86 color photographs.

A decent field guide to southwestern cacti.......2003-07-25
While the style of this book is relatively light and informal, the book does a very good job of presenting all the species of cacti in the southwestern United States and the Sonoran and Chihuahuan Deserts of Mexico. The cacti are organized by scientific name, but common names are given as well. Identification information and short natural history information is presented for every cactus. The large, visually appealing color photos show enough of the plants to allow for easy identification. This book has only two major drawbacks. First, it only provides written descriptions of the cacti's ranges, whereas maps would have been more useful. Second, the regions covered by this book seem to be fairly nebulous; it is unclear as to exactly which parts of the United States and Mexico are fully represented. Nonetheless, this book serves as a very good field guide for anyone interested in cacti.

Delightfully amusing & informative gift for adults & kids!.......2003-01-05
Did you know that cacti have "personality"! A SMILE is what you'll get every time you pick up this gem - along with something new you've learned about our American deserts! It's a delightfully fun example of Jim Willoughby's artistic sense of humor in colaboration with wife, Sue. It's a great gift for locals and visitors to the southwest. I send it as a thank you gift to collectors of my husband's desert landscape paintings and hear back that it's enjoyed by the whole family!
This book was very informative and funny, too!.......1999-09-20
I bought this book at the museum gift shop at the White Sands Nat'l. Monument and enjoyed every moment of reading! My husband and I moved to Alamogordo, NM from Laramie, WY 1 1/2 years ago and did not know what the cacti were. Your book helped tremendously! Now we can pick out quite a few on our travels. Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!! Chris Mendoza

Book Description
Distinguished by its slender vertical branches, which resemble the tubes of a pipe organ, and growing to the imposing height of 15 to more than 30 feet, it's obvious how the organ pipe cactus got its name. In the United States, these spectacular and intriguing plants are found exclusively in a small area of the Sonoran Desert in the southwestern corner of Arizona. With a landscape marked by sharp, rocky slopes and daytime highs in the summer reaching 110 degrees Fahrenheit, the region is inhospitable for most ordinary life, whether plant or animal. But the organ pipe cactus is far from ordinary. Although it is the most common columnar cactus, it is so unusual in the United States that it is only one of three cacti to have a national preserve established to protect it. In this regard, it joins a select group of plants—including Joshua trees, redwoods, and sequoias—upon which that honor has been conferred. In this beautifully illustrated, large-format book, David Yetman provides an in-depth and comprehensive look at these intriguing and picturesque plants that most Americans will never have the opportunity to see. Chapters explore their ethnobotanical uses, their habitat, their distribution, and special conditions required for their germination, establishment, growth, and survival. Yetman also places the organ pipe in perspective as a member of a genus with at least twenty-three species, ranging from the prostrate Stenocereus eruca of Baja California to the 50-foot high giant S. chacalapensis of the coast of Oaxaca.
