Great Gift But I'm Keeping Mine
I've read "The Nature of Lions: Social Cats of the Savannas" as I was going to give it as gift to my (school aged), nephews and neices for a Christmas present... I guess I'll just have to get another copy of it as I enjoyed it so much myself. Various aspects of these big cats, including the evolution of lions, their anatomy, social behavior, mating rituals and birth are all covered in this study. ...

Sybex, 2007

As good as it gets
As a web designer I've been using Photoshop professionally for years. I've also worked on lots of photographs, both my own and those I've gotten from clients. I don't need a how to book on layers, cropping and levels. I've got a good understanding of the basic Photoshop tools, and have benefitted from Scott Kelby's Photoshop CS for Photographers. But Kelby's book is a recipe book both useful and ...

Simon Spotlight/Nickelodeon, 2006

great reading helper
This book really helps young children learn to read. My son is 3 yrs. old, and he does a really good job recognizing the pictures that are placed throughout the book. He loves Diego, and I was actually surprised when we began reading the book. I pointed to the different animals like armadillo, and he knew exactly what it was. These books help children learn words through the pictures....I bought ...

Art Wolfe, Art Davidson

Wildlands Press, 2003

Brilliant
In my opinion, the images within this book reflect a perfect combination of light and opportunity and particularly I'm very impressed by the star trails. In general Art Wolfe shows us "through the lens" how beautiful our earth currently is. An important message is that it should be saved so that future generations will be able to live on. The (excellents) forewords in this book underline this ...

Graphic Arts Center Publishing Company, 2001

Enter All Parts of Nature's Fall-Decorated Cathedral!
If you buy only one book of nature photography focused on the autumn season, this book would be a superb choice! If you are like me, you've always wanted to take several months off and follow fall as it begins in the northern tundra and creeps gently downward to the southern coasts of the United States. Mr. Anthony E. Cook has lived that trip for us, not once, but more than four times as he ...

Art Wolfe

Wildlands Press, 2000

Magnificent photographs and call for help to text!
I had heard of Mr. Wolfe before,but it wasn`t until today,when I got this book I saw his photographs. I definitly think he is comparable with my other favourites Lanting and Doubilet,if not better. This book is definitly not a small bad book! At a weight of more than 2 pounds and in a format not suitable for even my bookcase,it is a behemoth in nature photo books. It was pretty expensive,but ...

Douglas Chadwick

Sierra Club Books, 1992

At least a B+, if not an A-
At the beginning of Mr. Lacey's monumental work he relates a conversation he had with a Georgetown educated member of the House of Saud: "I have lived in the Kingdom over 30 years, yet if I was to put down on paper how my family and this country worked, I would be lucky if I got a B+ mark. You have spent four years with us. The best you can hope for is a C." Lacey clearly did his homework, as ...

Rhythms from the Wild

Art Wolfe

Watson-Guptill Publications, 1997

Art Wolfe keeps getting better and better.
I've been an Art Wolfe fan for years, but Rhythms From the Wild is by far Art Wolfe's best, most inspirational, most relaxing book. The photographs in this book are truly lyrical in their beauty. There's both a gentleness and a sense of movement to the images. Outstanding production quality, surprisingly fairly priced, this is a book to be kept by your bed for late night pleasure.

Photography Outdoors: A Field Guide for Travel and Adventure Photographers

Mark Gardner, Art Wolfe

Mountaineers Books, 2003

fantastic
I am a keen amateur photographer on a steep learning curve and a tight budget. I spend a lot of time in bookshop cafes reading (for free!) any book about photographic technique that I can find. I am becoming quite technically proficient but I also happen to be an outdoor enthusiast who loves white water kayaking, mountain biking and nature photography. Therefore, I no longer want to learn about ...
