Great Book
Puts everyday weather and weather phenomenons in easy to understand language for kids. I'm going to get some more of these Q&A books. It's good for both the home and classroom.

Tony Bennett, Robert Sullivan

Sterling, 2007

Wonderful insight into the side of tony we know too little of
Tony is an accomplished artist, both in vocal delivery, and and his less known side of painting. It is wonderful to see the total artistry of Tony captured in this book, along with a complimentary vocal CD! The reader understands Tony's artistry more completely and appreciates his significant talent more thoroughly!

Money in your pocket!
My manager recommended this book to me. I started using the tips inside before I even finished the book. I saw a difference in my wallet immediately! This book makes your job as a waiter/waitress easier and more profitable. It pays for itself in the first night. I recommend it to all our new hires.

Rats: Observations on the History and Habitat of the City's Most Unwanted Inhabitants

50 reviews
Robert Sullivan

Bloomsbury USA, 2005

Remarkably observations on a touchy subject!
Robert Sullivan has done a wonderful job revealing the secret life of these remarkably adaptive rodents as they go about their nightly forays. A resident of the West Village for a time, they became so familiar to me, scurrying away as I walked my dog, that they became invisible. But when I married and got a Weimaraner for an engagement present, my new husband dreamed of the pup lying between ...

Addison-Wesley Professional, 2007

Boost your OpenGL Programming Productivity
This book has a lot of shining points. First, all its explanations are crystal clear, focused into the concepts and techniques OpenGL developers really need. Furthermore, the book comprises OpenGL architecture and configuration on OS X, and the various APIs we can use in order to create OpenGL applications, specifically, CGL, AGL, Cocoa, (our old buddy) GLUT, and X11 APIs. A chapter focused into ...

Meadowlands

1 review

powerHouse Books, 2008

Good info, flippant attitude
Its important to know the history of places. Too often history is dry and full of dates. The Meadowlands by Robert Sullivan is not like this. It is the story of his, perhaps unnatural obsession with visiting the rundown, polluted, odd place called the Meadowlands. The Meadowlands are/were a large wetland along the Hackensack river in New Jersey, within sight of Manhattan. Over the years it has ...

Climate Change and Forests: Emerging Policy and Market Opportunities

Brookings Institution Press, 2008

Once the province of think tanks, academics, and global agencies such as the UN, climate change has finally penetrated the world s consciousness. To date, international attention has focused primarily on the industrial and energy sectors. However, the agriculture, forestry, and land use sector is a major driver of the climate change problem and, thus, must be an integral part of the solution. In this wide-ranging volume, international experts ...

Habits of the Heart: Individualism and Commitment in American Life

13 reviews
Robert N. Bellah, Richard Madsen, ...

University of California Press, 2007

Sorting It All Out
HABITS OF THE HEART is a tour de force whose insights into America are as relevant today as they were nearly twenty years ago when the book was published. It was hailed at that time as an instant classic of sociology, and compared to such influential works as MIDDLETOWN and THE LONELY CROWD. If anything, its insights are even more pertinent now. The subtitle "Individualism and Commitment in ...

How Not to Get Rich: Or Why Being Bad Off Isn't So Bad

3 reviews
Robert Sullivan

Bloomsbury USA, 2005

hilarious, fierce, and weirdly uplifting
I have heard amazing stories about this author, who also wrote "Rats" and "A Whale Hunt" and "The Meadowlands." Once, it is said, as a protest against the SEC, he lay all afternoon on the couch of a friend and counted to twenty-four thousand by ones in a snarling voice. Anyway, this book is of course a very funny satire of how-to-get-rich books, and an eloquent warning against the ultimate ...

The Public Papers
Louis Sullivan

University Of Chicago Press, 1988

Organized chronologically, these speeches, interviews, essays, letters to editors, and committee reports enable readers to trace Sullivan's development from a brash young assistant to Dankmar Adler to an architectural elder statesman. Robert Twombly, an authority on Sullivan's ...

A Whale Hunt: How a Native-American Village Did What No One Thought It Could

15 reviews
Robert Sullivan

Scribner, 2002

Inspiring, fascinating
This is an inspiring, funny, interesting, quirky, and quietly heroic story, very well told. Even without the climactic, unifying event, it would be a fascinating study of a community and its people. I think the reviewer Doc Rosen, below, is wrong when he says that Sullivan accepted the "lies" of Paul Watson, the anti-whale-hunt captain of the Sea Shepherd. It seemed to me that Sullivan's ...

100 Photographs That Changed the World

Life, 2003

Buy This Book!
100 Photographs that changed the world can only be described as an intimate and emotional view of our world over the last century. The book was created by Time magazine, many of the photos coming straight from their covers. Many of the pictures are published elsewhere and have no doubt been seen by many people, but having them put together in this fashion is amazing. Complete with date and ...

The Meadowlands: Wilderness Adventures on the Edge of a City

24 reviews
Robert Sullivan

Anchor, 1999

Fascinating insight into an initially unrelentlingly ugly place....
Sullivan does a great job of revealing the beauty and promise of an area hugely blighted by urban and industrial development, offers an example of how we might look more closely at many things, and highlights how careless we can be in destroying our natural environment...

Cross Country: Fifteen Years and 90,000 Miles on the Roads and Interstates of America with Lewis and Clark

17 reviews
Robert Sullivan

Bloomsbury USA, 2006

Wonderful!
When I began the book, I didn't like it. I didn't care about Lewis and Clark and their expedition. Then I thought, give it a chance. I believe everyone and everything deserves a second chance. Boy, am I glad that I did! I absolutely loved it! I hated that it ended. I did learn a thing or two about our interstate system, and this spectacular country of ours. I wish it never ended. I may read it ...

The Small Business Start-Up Guide

Information International, 2000

It's all here!
I bought the 2nd edition of this book and found it to be absolutely priceless. The large amount and depth of information provided was just what I needed to get me started with my own small, home-based business. Now the 3rd edition has been printed and I bought it also. It contains a lot more information, especially about the internet, which is where my main focus now lies.
