Use as a model for ecological niche writing grades 5-8.......2004-05-28

Taking kids out into the wilds to write about what they see is often overwhelming to them. This fine book takes each element of the ecosystem of the ocean's edge and illustrates it, then succinctly in two or three sentences tells about it. A great model for kids, whether the ecosystem is mountains, forest, desert or lake.

Simply outstanding!.......2003-11-01

This is one of those magical books that will inspire, excite and inform. Through his usual deft handling of poetic language and crisp images, Laurence Pringle has, once again, provided young readers with a sensory journey through a valued ecosystem. Coupled with Michael Chesworth's captivating illustrations, this is a book that will be read and re-read many times. Run and get a copy for your classroom or home and be prepared for many fantastic adventures!

Book Description

When rat estate agent Sam, arrives at the riverside home of field mice Mandy and Joseph, and brazenly tells them that their home is being sold for a luxury development of bungalows by Reginald the Fox, it is just the start of the adventure... Joseph has to find the freedom document in order to prove their ownership. So why does he then give it to Sam, of all creatures? Then promptly disappear? Mandy makes the long and dangerous trip to Henley to enlist the help of the animal militia, but then appears to ally herself with the rats. To add to the confusion the animal militia befriend one of the rats, who tries to lead them into an ambush, which turns out to be just about the most confusing event of them all. This is a charming adventure story with lots of humour on several levels, that adults will enjoy reading aloud as much as children will enjoy listening to it.

Book Description

Those magical places where water touches land beckon to us. The calm after a squall on a storm-furrowed Cape Cod beach, moss-covered rock outcroppings dotting the sand in Oregon, thousands of shells unearthed by the tides on the coast of Florida--all attest to the infinite splendor of our natural world. In photographs sensitive to the many qualities of natural light, in photographs that invite reflection and renewal, that stir up memories and offer a rare and contemplative beauty, we are compelled to pause. Audubon Water's Edge captures the many moods of water--the stillness and quiet, the rage and tumult, the perpetual state of transformation. Water invites meditation and holds a promise of renewal. Come down to the shore at water's edge and discover its possibilities.

Book Description

This is the 5th edition of this very successful title so represents 15 years of accumulated travel experience to this little-known but deeply rewarding country. Over this period the Rough Guide has established itself as the agenda-setting book which consistently opens up new destinations and new aspects of Bulgarian tourism - from the remote Belogadchik region to the white sand beaches of the southern Black Sea coast. The Rough Guide is written and researched by people who have lived in Bulgaria, and so provides deeply insightful accounts of all the regions and their attractions. As ever, this is a guide for independent travellers on any budget, with accommodation listings ranging from the film stars'' favourite, Castle Hrankov in Sofia, to local campsites.

Customer Reviews:

Really useful!.......2007-09-25

This book is really useful and gives you, along with the travel information, some history for each main city. According to my Bulgarian friend, the information in this book is really accurate, except for the bus line numbers...! The book even gives you the Cyrillic names of the city.

If you plan to visit a lot of Bulgaria, it's a must!

This book is OK.......2007-09-13

The book is ok--it leaves out an important issue---atm's and credit cards--you may not be able to use them in Bulgaria. Also, the book says it is ok to drink the water in Bulgaria. I did drink the water --and then spent a day on Cipro. Becasue there are not a lot of books out there on Bulgaria--this one will do in a pinch.

horrible guide.......2007-06-24

I bought this book based on the fact that both authors had lived/traveled in the region for many years. I just came back from a trip to Bulgaria and this book was just horrible. In most parts(I haven't read the whole book) they describe towns as a mere array of buildings with their histories and how unworthy a visit they are. Practical information is useless(even taking into account that bus/train schedules can change frequently, the book tells you next to nothing. The section on the Rila monastery for example states something like "try to catch onwarding transportation from there". Try to catch?? Have they been there at all?).

I could go on and on but in short--Do NOT buy this book. This is not the first time a Rough guide has disappointed me, I gave it another try for nothing. Very disappointing and a waste of money.

Good History and Background.......2006-08-30

I very much liked this guide. It was excellent for history and background as well as how to shop. The ONLY thing that I can really fault this guide for is that all names are in English. If the place names were in Cyrillic as well, it would be helpful in recognizing locations!

Book Description

Jubal Anderson Early (1816-1894) ranked among the most important generals who fought with Robert E. Lee's Confederate Army of Northern Virginia. A brigade and corps commander, he played principal roles at the battles of First Manassas, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, and most of the other engagements in the Eastern Theater during the first three years of the Civil War. In 1864 Early commanded an army in the Shenandoah Valley, winning several victories and menacing Washington before suffering ignominious defeat in a series of battles against Phillip H. Sheridan's Union forces.

Originally released in 1866, Early's is the first personal account published by a major Civil War figure on either side. A creator of the Lost Cause myth that exalted Lee and his Virginia army above those of other states, Early anticipated arguments that later Lost Cause writers would make regarding Lee's and Grant's generalships, the reasons for Confederate defeat, and the conduct of Union forces in Southern states. Containing elements of both battlefield narrative and apologia for his actions and those of other Virginians, Early's brief memoir helped shape the ways in which white southerners wrote about and understood the Confederacy. In a new introduction to this edition, Gary W. Gallagher explicates Early's military career and examines the general's postwar career as a Confederate apologist.
