    Book Description

    When adolescents begin screaming or withdrawing, exhibiting antisocial behavior or acting irresponsibly, it is a way of communicating -- and parents must learn to listen.
    That's what this refreshing book is all about. It explores in a straightforward, easy-to-follow format the nine most common problems that parents encounter with teenage children:
    * Sex
    * Loneliness
    * Lying
    * Boredom
    * Bad school performance
    * No communication
    * Anger
    * Hanging out with a bad crowd
    * Irresponsibility
    Utilizing real-life examples, this invaluable guide is designed to teach us, as parents, not only how to listen, but to love and grow as we cope with the teenage years -- and to raise kids we can be proud of.

        5 out of 5 stars A small gem of a volume.......2007-09-06

        Although there are many books delaing with air combat stories, Mr Spick's old but excellent volume is a must-have for everyone interested in the ace producing virtues. "Situational awareness" is surely the most critical of them, as the author proves in many occasions and the book covers the whole age of aerial dogfights from the Great War to the '80s. There are many first hand accounts, many great stories and abundant information on tactics and technologies but, above all, Mr Spick's writing is the great advantage of this book. A nice addition to the library of every military aviation fan.

        4 out of 5 stars Good book about air combat.......2004-08-03

        Not an in depth analysys of air combat maneuvers and energy management as Shaw does in his books, however a good book about the so called "Situational Awareness", in my opinion the most important ace factor.

        3 out of 5 stars Entertaining at times, but lacks depth.......1998-04-08

        Although most of the stories here have been told before, it may prove handy to have them all in this one slim volume. It does start to delve into the details of several air campaigns, but I found myself wanting more. Readers of Overy's "Air War" and Shaw's "Fighter Combat" will find little new material here, other than some WWI anecdotes. Mr. Spick seems to conclude that it is not possible to define the "Ace Factor", which begs the question, "Why then write this book?"

        5 out of 5 stars Excellent book on the what separated "Ace" pilots from rest........1996-12-10

        With so many books available on aces and air combat tactics, Spick's focus is a remarkably fresh one. He identifys, and discusses the rare human qualities that made a small percentage of fighter pilots, "ace" pilots. This is achieved via a historical look at many successful pilots in all of history's air wars. From Bolcke to Cunningham, there's a good balance between history, technique and tactics. A good companion book to Robert Shaw's "Fighter Combat: Tactics and Maneuvering," and a better read too.

                Diskan Fentress, mutant son of an interstellar explorer, felt himself out of place on the luxury worlds of civilized space. It was not until he stole a spaceship and a travel key to the unexplored planet Mimir that he first felt his latent powers to be of some worth. For Mimir was a world of strange relics, of beasts that were more than beasts, and of a ruined city whose shadows bespoke a higher and weirder civilization than any the galaxy had yet discovered. It was to fall to Diskan's lot to meet head-on that ancient world's "X Factor," and to settle the fate of a planet with his reaction.

                            Book Description

                            Sir Francis Bertie (from 1915 Lord Bertie of Thame) was a senior British diplomat of the late Victorian and Edwardian eras. He is perhaps best known for the thirteen years between 1905 and 1918 during which time he was Britain's ambassador in Paris, and it is with this period of his life that Dr Hamilton is mainly concerned. The book thus examines his contribution to the evolution and maintenance of the entente cordiale, the nature of his 'anti-Germanism', his influence upon Sir Edward Grey and other British statesmen, and the eclipse of professional diplomacy during the first world war. Above all it is a study of a man whom another British diplomat was later to describe as 'the very last of the great ambassadors'.

                            3 out of 5 stars Not for a beginner.......2007-10-03

                            On the positive side, there are a LOT of different bird songs recorded in this cd. It would be much more user-friendly, however, if each track contained only one bird. The sheer number of different bird songs, combined with the not-so-convenient access to individual bird songs, makes this cd more appropriate as a comprehensive reference for use with the written field guide, or perhaps a field guide for someone already an expert, rather than a usable field guide for a more casual birder. Not something I would recommend if you simply want a cd that will help you recognize common bird songs as you are walking through the woods.

                            4 out of 5 stars Bird Songs on a CD.......2007-05-16

                            A good CD and helpful index booklet. A booklet with color pictures of the male and female birds would be a helpful option even if it was at an additional cost.

                            3 out of 5 stars Field Guide for Song birds.......2007-05-15

                            An interesting compilation of songbird sounds along with the name of each bird. Does not go into the wide variation of song that many birds are capable of, eg. the Carolina Wren. Somewhat helpful as an addition to Peterson's field guide to birds.

                            5 out of 5 stars Helpful audio CD.......2007-03-22

                            I researched for the audio cd to identify bird songs. Peterson Field Guides five star rated cd met all the requirements i wanted. This is not soothing new age background music, but an educational tool for beginning birders like myself. Even while multitasking along w/ listening, it is very educational. Try loading the songs on your computer or ipod & see how quickly you will recognize.

                            2 out of 5 stars A major disapointment!.......2001-03-21

                            While most people expect wonderful things from Peterson guides, this CD set is sure to let you down.

                            It's is very limited in the number of birds it covers. And the recordings for each bird are minimal at best.

                            4 out of 5 stars Not portable-CD-player friendly.......1999-05-27

                            I own the 1992 edition, which has been very useful. The latest edition is the '92 edition repackaged; the contents are the same. I confirmed this with the publisher. The price has dropped merely because the packaging is cheaper to produce; that's according to their editorial staff.

                            If you wish to use the Peterson CDs "in the field" with a portable CD player, or if you use it frequently at home, there is something you should know:

                            Peterson organizes the songs into two CDs, each with about 50 tracks. Each track contains from 2 to 8 birds. If you want to hear a specific bird without hearing others, you can go directly to that bird if your CD player has the INDEX function. An index is like a subtrack.

                            Herein lies the problem; most portable CD players no longer have the INDEX feature. It was phased out years ago. Thus, you have to listen to all the birds of a track to hear the one you want, and as you get better at birding this becomes tedious.

                            It should be mentioned that most CD players do have a "search" function which allows you to "fast forward" through a track. But this is awkward to use.

                            Some makers of bird song collections on CD (e.g. Stokes, new out in May 99) have learned of this problem and have corrected it by recording one bird per track. Stokes also seems to have clearer and longer recordings. However, this format means that the full collection requires 4 CDs. Thus, using Stokes in the field has its own problems.

                            If you can find a portable CD player with the INDEX function, the Peterson CD works well, especially the Eastern Birds, which is one-volume. I can just plop my portable CD player into the pocket of my field vest, and any time I want to confirm a warbler species I can cue up that bird in an instant. I can quickly INDEX through the birds calls and compare. Peterson gives the bird label and the bird song separate indexes, so you don't have to listen to the announcer naming all the birds. But unless CD player makers change their minds, this convenience may die when my '89 Sony portable does.

                            Book Description

                            "Improving the quality of land for wildlife is the single most constructive step that anyone can take to assist wild bird populations. Happily, it is well within almost everyone's capability to improve bird habitats by providing important food and cover plants. Through this book, I will assist caring landowners and managers of properties ranging in size from urban balconies and suburban backyards to larger properties such as country estates, schoolyards, cemeteries, corporate parks, airports, golf courses, wildlife refuges, and parklands of all sizes. Managers of agricultural land, greenways, and vacant lots alike will find inspiration and techniques within these pages that will help them carry out the urgent and satisfying work of improving land for wild birds."--from the Introduction

                            In a book long awaited by landscapers, birders, gardeners, and naturalists, Stephen W. Kress provides a practical, comprehensive, and thoroughly illustrated guide to attracting birds to any property, be it a small patch of land in the city or a showplace countryside garden, a median strip or an expansive woodlot, a commercial building or a community park. In Kress's view, the best way to attract birds is to enrich habitats by improving vegetation, natural foods, water supplies, and nest sites.

                            Drawing on decades of experience, Kress offers a remarkable variety of techniques and resources for habitat improvement. In this book, he

                            * addresses the special needs of managers of large properties, giving them a toolbox of strategies for habitat restoration;

                            * organizes his suggestions by habitat type, such as forest, grasslands, and shrublands;

                            * offers advice for selecting native plants by region;

                            * details the importance of wetland conservation;

                            * discusses the safe use of pesticides and fertilizers;

                            * provides useful information on nesting structures and feeding stations; and

                            * lists plant vendors and print and online resources for further study.

                            Throughout, Kress emphasizes responsible environmental stewardship. The Audubon Society Guide to Attracting Birds will help readers reach their goal of designing their own landscapes for the benefit of wild birds.

                            Very thorough reference for anyone looking to provide a backyard habitat for local birds. Things people as individuals can do. Plantings, feeds, birdhouses, it's all here. Writig style clear and consise.

                            5 out of 5 stars The Backyard and Beyond for Birds.......2006-06-15

                            What I love most about this book is that it combines everything that a homeowner, landowner, bird watcher needs to attract birds to their surroundings. After collecting many different books on bird feeding, gardening for birds, landscaping for birds and managing land for birds, I am thrilled to be able to recommend a book that "has-it-all".

                            With chapters that address forest, grassland and shrubland management, a landowner will find thorough advice on how to look at their property and the larger surrounding landscape in terms of bird habitat. Kress does not ignore the homeowner's interest in creating a backyard sanctuary for birds either. Highlights include a wonderful list of bird attracting perennials and annuals, a plethora of bird feeder designs, and a chapter on healthy habits to exercise in your yard and neighborhood.

                            The book has plant, tree and shrub recommendations by region for the entire United States complimented simply by pen & ink drawings. The drawings are simple and meant to give the reader a visual of the leaves, fruits and general shape of the plant. This guide should not be used as a field guide to identifying plants, trees, shrubs or birds. This book is a "guide to attracting birds" and should not be used in place of a true field guide to birds or plants. The lengthy resource list in the appendix will help readers find those field guides needed for identification and much more.

                            As a conservation educator, I recommend this book for bird enthusiasts, naturalists, landowners and gardeners. It connects our love of birds with our passion for the land while encouraging responsible stewardship of the natural world around us.

                            4 out of 5 stars Nearly Perfect.......2006-05-24

                            This book condenses from previous Audubon publications and adds a wealth of new information as well. While it is an impressive effort, I have to wonder why such crude illustrations? Especially when it comes to bird & plant identification. Anyway, the price of admission to Mr. Kress' writings is entirely worth it. Within a week I've attracted Orioles and Bluebirds....Amazing! I just wish the visuals were as clear as the writing.

                              Now available from Waveland Press, this comprehensive, geographically balanced manual offers readers complete hands-on coverage of morphology, identification, and classification, physiological adaptations, and natural history. The book's taxonomic and geographic coverage is impressively broad as well, applying to a variety of fishes and areas: jawless, cartilaginous, and bony, fresh- and saltwater, temperate and tropical, and inshore and offshore. Helpful discussions and explanations introduce the guidebook's collection of well-designed exercises, making the connections between principles and specific inquiries easier to formulate. This approach works to help readers transform memorized facts into concepts that stimulate further explorations.
