Forest Leaves: How to Identify Trees and Shrubs of Northern New England
Henry Ives Baldwin Manufacturer: Peter E. Randall Publisher ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 0914339435 |
Book Description
This revised edition contains his suggested changes and a number of new drawings. As Baldwin wrote in his introduction, "The purpose of this booklet is to provide brief, simple and easy identification of common trees and shrubs in Northern New England."Customer Reviews:
fine field guide to the leaves of northern New England.......2003-08-08
This is not a perfect book: the introduction is helpful but not terribly informative, there are no maps, there are no color photographs (how about a color insert of transitional leaves?), and the coloring on the cover and spine make it almost impossible to read the title of the book; however, this is otherwise a solid and extremely helpful field guide that will add to your enjoyment of the New England forest, whether it's in the backwoods or your backyard.

ASIN: 1864501812 |
Product Description
With 25 island groups strewn across miles of transparent blue seas, the Bahamas offers an extensive variety of marine adventures. Dive with sharks, swim with dolphins, and explore sunlit reefs, mysterious blue holes, natural wrecks and vertigo-inducing walls. Highlights include Shark Rodeo at Walkers Cay, wild dolphins at Little Bahama Bank and New Providences movie-set wrecks. Topside, indulge in great dining and nightlife on the main islands, or take off for the pristine beaches and rich culture of the Out Islands. This guide describes 108 of the archipelagos top sites, with full color photos throughout.Customer Reviews:
and where might I find these dive sites?.......2001-09-18
Well organized and thorough.......2001-07-04
Pretty, but too shallow..........2001-05-28
It does also cover a large number of sites - though is still far from comprehensive.
And it has some nice additional information occasionally through the book.
Two main peeves though. And they're killers:
- Each description is a paragraph, or two at most. You can't tell me very much about a dive site in so few words.
- There are no maps / diagrams for specific dive sites (just area overview maps) - a dive guide fails totally without these.
It's a pretty book, but to be any use you need to include maps and more detail per site (if this was done it could be forgiven for not being totally comprehensive).
In short, it's nice, but it's no use as a tool for researching a dive holiday.
What'S further is I now own two of these (Red Sea and Bahamas) - I certainly will not buy another.

ASIN: 0070078939 |
Book Description
For true traditionalists, here are the first complete plans and detailed building instructions for authentic Aleutian Kyak--the ancient voyaging and hunting craft of the nomadic Unangan of Alaska. Based on originals in museums in Oregon and California, these lightweight (35 Pounds, 17 feet long) skin-on-frame sea kayaks can be built to fit the owner's exact dimensions, using simple hand tools and readily obtainable materials, for less than $200, including paddles, spray skirt, and traditional paddling jacket. Known as Baidarkas among the Russian settlers of Alaska, these unique native American craft evolved over centuries to carry heavy loads swiftly over long distances in wind and wave--ideal for modern sea kayakers looking for an alternative to plastic replicas of short-range Greenland-style boats.Customer Reviews:

Even if you love art, love cool pictures, love computers, and love your graphics job, says designer and author Shane Hunt, you still want to get your work done quickly and painlessly. Hunt provides you with time-saving tools and tips on working smart in CorelDRAW 9 F/X and Design. This graphics- and content-rich book allows beginning or advanced users to take charge and master CorelDRAW 9, the powerful object-oriented graphics suite.Almost every page includes a "tips" section--these range from bitmap explanations and exporting to duotone hints and tricks for color. Along with the manageable step-by-step projects in the book, Hunt includes a brilliant color studio and visual gallery filled with final images (these can also be found on the CD-ROM) that include corresponding sites in the book. For example, she directs readers to "find something you like, point finger, exclaim 'Cool!' then flip to the chapter that explains the process. Enjoy!" Some of the tutorials take you from past images--in one section, from the '30s and '40s--and show you how to add sci-fi pulp and comic-book style touches to your designs.
The accompanying CD-ROM is packed with tutorial files in native CorelDRAW formats, animation files, button and interface design samples, clip-art pics, plug-ins, graphics goodies, and f/x utilities. This is a great resource for graphics designers ready to plunge into the world of splashy creations and advance their careers with a deeper understanding of CorelDRAW 9. --Brooke Gilbert
Topics covered: CorelDRAW interface and toolset, new features of CorelDRAW 9 (bitmaps, effects filters, Artistic Media tool, outlines to objects conversion, Interactive Mesh Fill tool), and animation (using CorelDRAW and PHOTO-PAINT).
Book Description
The only book available that teaches the trend-setting, edgy illustrations that can be created with CorelDRAW -- chisel images on rock, design tattoos, master comic-book-style drawing. Other books are traditional, tools-based tutorials. CorelDRAW 9 f/x and design appeals to the thousands of users who want to take the application to the next level and break out of the box. Features a 64-page Color Studio chock full of cutting-edge industrial, psychedelic, bizarre, and provocative illustrations that are also available on the CD-ROM. Updates the successful CorelDRAW 8 f/x, which received rave reviews such as this one: "In this book Hunt shows you how to use Corel to do some awesome designs. Its reverse approach makes it unique. You can pick a design you like from the color section and then look up how it's done. I love that. Plus: Every piece of artwork is on the included CD. Why can't life always be that easy?"Customer Reviews:

This is now in my top 10 technical book list!

All about Astrology.......2004-03-07
Would you like to know the most auspicious date and place on earth for your wedding? Then you need astrocartography, and to consult an astrologer for your wedding date, as the author did.
Other books have better coverage of wedding traditions around the globe, but this book is a rich source of wedding SUPERSTITIONS. Did you know that in ancient England, it was considered bad luck to marry on a Saturday?
The book was nothing like what I expected from the blurbs on Amazon. If you are trying to plan a beautiful and modern wedding ceremony, I recommend Weddings from the Heart by Daphne Rose Kingma.

Integrating Automated Multi-Disciplinary Optimization in Preliminary Design of Non-Traditional Aircraft
Manufacturer: Storming Media ProductGroup: Book Binding: Spiral-bound ASIN: 1423536428 |
Product Description
This is a AIR FORCE INST OF TECH WRIGHT-PATTERSONAFB OH report procured by the Pentagon and made available for public release. It has been reproduced in the best form available to the Pentagon. It is not spiral-bound, but rather assembled with Velobinding in a soft, white linen cover. The Storming Media report number is A252083. The abstract provided by the Pentagon follows: Current methods of aircraft conceptual design lack the ability to quickly generate detailed analysis, particularly of nontraditional designs such as blended wing body craft. This study developed a method to resolve this problem by creating a flexible, parametrically driven conceptual model in an object-oriented, adaptive modeling environment from which analysis and optimization may rapidly be performed. These object-oriented techniques are incorporated into a traditional conceptual design process. All objects inherit dependency-tracking and demand-driven calculations. Design Analysis was performed within the modeling language and utilized interfaces to other software packages. A detailed mesh, suitable for input into finite element analysis programs, was developed from the less detailed, geometric mesh created by the modeling program. The output from finite element analysis forms the basis for rapid changes in subsequent iterations of the design process. The demonstration focuses on a single parametric design model which transforms a conventional transport design into a blended wing body design. This single design is controlled by a limited - set of geometric variables and produces optimal structural weight estimations while the designer addresses volumetric and cost requirements.Books:
