1 comments about Exploring Ancient Native America.

1. After fining an arrowhead in Colorado I was curious as to its provinence. In this book I learned that what we call arrowheads are projectile points, and too heavy for a bow, even though they seem small. And it may well be over 1,000 years old. This is a wonderful tour through Native American sites and the past.

4 comments about CITG to Washington DC: 3 (Complete Idiot's Travel Guide to Washington Dc).

1. This book would be very good for a first time visitor to Washington. If you are going to go and need a guide...here it is.



2. I compared this guide to three others and found the Complete Idiot's Guide to be much more useful for my family. It was nicely organized with very up-to-date, easy-to-understand information for the D.C. novice. The handiest feature is built-in, full color maps -- a D.C. features map in the back and the rapid transit system grid, drawn by color, inside the front cover. It makes this book a definite "take-along" when touring our nation's capital.



3. The complete idiot's guide to DC is for complete idiots. It gets the facts wrong about DC, is insulting to the city, and is marginally useful as a guide for tourists. Read the Michelin, Rough Guide, Ulysses, or Lonely Planet instead.



4. Great book. The Idiot series for traveling is good no matter what location you choose. Use this book in conjuntion with a google map to really figure out where to stay, eat, and visit. Good reading.

5 comments about The Nature of America: Images by North America's Premier Nature Photographers.

1. This book contains a beautiful collection of photographs which enables us to appreciate all the majestic and natural beauty North America has to offer. How fortunate we are that the photographers were able to capture such images and present them in the one impeccably produced book. As for the writers, they too have captured a beauty which encourages us to ensure the land remains unspoilt and protected for all to enjoy. The joy of treasuring such a book necessitates a strong desire for more and one can only dream that another book like this will come our way again soon. A true work of art and a source of inspiration.



2. This is a beautiful and well-produced book. Truly a representation of the creme of the crop of american nature photographers. It is both inspiring in it's illustration of some of the country's most beautiful wild areas -- and a strong reminder that we must preserve these areas for the future. I have been fortunate enough to meet the authors and some of the photographers represented in the book, and I am truly impressed by their amazing dedication to their craft and their sincere love and concern for nature. It is evident in these images. I only wish it was larger so the images could be reproduced over one page. Highly recommend.



3. This is a most facinating book with the writings and photography excellent in every way. I am very impressed with all of it.



4. I keep this book on the coffee table and thumb through it often. Every time I do, I see something new and wonderful. Originally I bought the book because I know Bill Fortney and thought it would be neat to own his book and I'd have some nice pictures, too. WELL, did I learn a lesson! I have grown to love this book as a reminder of the awesome love and power of God who created all the beautiful places these gifted photographers have captured--from the simple to the majestic. Anyone can take a picture but this is art! ...



5. I agree with all the reviewers that the 200+ photographs in the book are first-class. The names of Art Wolfe, David Muench, John Shaw, and Willian Neil alone should guarantee that much. The only big complaint I have is that a lot of large-format photographs are splitted onto twoadjacent pages (about 3/4 on one page and 1/4 on the other page). This essentially ruins the composition of those beautifule photographs because it naturually draws your eyes to the split area, regardless of the photographers' intended focus. (In fact, in a number of photographs, the focus is in the split area). Instead of the book's 9 in x 12 in portrait format, they should have used the 12 in x 9in landscape format to avoid the two-page split. Mr. Middleton has a lot to learn about book design. As is, I don't think the book is worth its full [item price]. If you want to have it, buy it used at cheaper prices.

1 comments about Native Cultures in Alaska (Alaska Geographic).

1. The Volume 23, Number 2, Quarterly, 1996 Alaska Geographic issue, Native Cultures In Alaska offers an informed and informative introduction into the daily life of modern-day Native Americans of Alaska. Full-color photographs and a variety of vignettes and anecdotes about tribes such as the Aleuts, Yup'ik, Tsimshian, and more make Native Cultures In Alaska an engaging tribute and fascinating wealth of insight into enduring cultures and traditions that would enhance any personal, school, or community library Native American Studies collection.
