One of the Best field guides to Florida's Herps.......1999-02-01
This is a completely new reptile/amphibian field guide to Florida (its about time!) by one of our favorite author teams: R.D. Bartlett and Patricia P. Bartlett. This book covers all the amphibians, lizards, turtles, tortoises, crocodiles, and alligators. It complements Alan Tennant's authoritative Field Guide to Snakes of Florida (by the same publisher). Dick Bartlett's photography is superb! Highly recommended.

Florida's Snakes: A Guide to Their Identification and Habits
ASIN: 087719291X |
Customer Reviews:
The Best FL Snake Guide!.......2001-01-06
A well researched, organised guide. This books provides excellent color photos of each of FL's snakes. Goes into great detail about the various habitats of FL and provides a habitat table. Details on identification, habitat, behavior, reproduction, similar species, diet, etc. for each species. Excellent section on venomous snakes. A must for nature or snake lovers. A good reference for residents of the Southeastern US.
A Field Guide to Snakes of Florida.......2000-08-11
An excellent book for both the beginner and expert alike, Mr. Tennant provides excellent photographs of each species, including some photos of juvinelles. His text is highly informative and well written; he dispells myths about certain species, gives accurate distributional data, provides information on the status of each species, i.e. abundance, and has an excellent bibliography. A must for anyone interested in the snake fauna of Florida.
More than an excellent field guide.......2000-04-04
This book should be read by all Florida residents, not just those interested in snakes. It discusses the plight of these wonderful creatures in light of man-made and natural changes in their environment. It also goes into greater depth than the average field guide with respect to populations, breeding, personal encounters (always my favorite) etc.. I don't know the author personally but I sincerely hope he is researching field guides for snakes in other states as well. I ordered his book on the snakes of Texas before I finished the introduction to this book!

Customer Reviews:
Informative-useful to the beginner and intermediate herper.......2002-09-25
This book provides color photographs as well as a range map for each species listed. The detailed drawings on locomation and the different methods of movement also helps in understanding how snakes do what they do. The brief section on the workings of serpentine anatomy provide relevant information for those interested in the natural history and evolution of snakes. It also provides information for many of the sub-species found in Florida, which is something that other general field guides tent to overlook. This book came highly recommended by an expert florida herpetologist. The beginner will find the detailed photographs as well as the range maps a must for identifying the many species of snakes found throughout Florida. The intermediate hobbyist will find the taxonimic listing as well as natural history indespensible in the field when trying to locate the elusive varieties of serpents. This book is really somewhat of a natural history text, as well as a field guide wrapped up in one. Its small size makes it easy to carry into the field, where it would be used most. It could be considered slightly dated, as the classification of some of the snakes as endangered or species of special concern has changed, the identification information has not. I bought the book used, so an updated version may be out.
An excellent field guide for FL residents & snake lovers........2001-03-17
Provides color pictures, descriptions, range maps, and habitat information for each species of snake in Florida. The authors also describe similar species, natural history, and reproduction for each species. The book contains information (photos/description) of various FL environments (e.g. mangroves, cypress swamps,hammocks, pine flatwoods). Charts included provide abundance of each species in various environments. Good basic description on snake senses & locomotion. I plan to buy parts 2 & 3!
Excellent field guide........2000-04-08
Allowed me to positively identify many species in my area -- far better descriptions and pictures than any other book I've seen.

Book Description
A book about design in an age of technological revolution. It explores our relationship with the objects which surround us, arguing that contemporary design—from plastic surgery to Prozac, from landmines to Tamagotchis—is instant cultural history: a window through which we can observe ourselves and perhaps even make sense of our world. Products of Our Time categorises design in the 1990s into a number of key themes. It tracks the move from cheap, 'no-brand' supermarket goods to the up-market minimalism of much of today's packaging; it examines the way in which design is used to create our own identity, including the ways in which we pierce, decorate and change the design of our own bodies; and it looks at the design of electronic objects and the ways in which technology reflects a cultural drift towards violence and high speed. Published to coincide with a major international touring exhibition, starting in Glasgow from November 1999 to February 2000.

A Macro View of Contemporary Conditions.......2002-04-22
This book is not your typical survey of recent products. Redhead delivers an intelligent, insightful and concise snapshot of contemporary design as a field that not only attempts to manipulate materials and technologies, but increasingly tries to link ideas, form and context to tell compelling stories. Far from dry theory, this book is loaded with color photos of real-world examples that connect abstract (sometimes subversive) ideas with tangible products.
With chapters entitled `Basics', "More', `Control', Identity', and `Crisis'- the author decodes the products of the 90's by classifying them according to cultural message rather than market or object category. Like an archeologist, Redhead sifts through consumer products, media messages and environments to frame the broad social, psychological, economic, and ontological patterns of contemporary design. Through this macro view, he describes the dialogue between OBJECTS and SUBJECTS that drives our material culture.
A provocative and quick read for art and design students exploring the complex, and often contradictory, cultural conditions in which we communicate.

quick buy, quick read, the biopsy of the manufactured IMAGE.......2001-03-13
this is a great quick pickup and read it in a single sitting book. If you are remotely involved in trend analysis, Product Design or just have an open eye this book wraps around most exclamations and observations you have about our imagefull world. Very well written, fast paced and interesting. It blends the imaginative and 'hmmm that is what I thought' of our everyday cut to style ready to eat culture.

From the supplier: Pres Bill Clinton's proposed Forest Plan for limiting logging in the Pacific Northwest has received criticism from the logging industry as well as environmentalists. The wood products industry will also be affected and thus measures have to be taken to optimize forest resources. Waste has to be reduced and more efficient manufacturing techniques must be developed. Planning for this requires increasing one's knowledge of the issues. Reading publications and attending trade exhibits may help.
