The Traveling Nature Photographer: A Guide for Exploring the Natural World Through Photography3 reviews
Schiffer Publishing Ltd, 2008
An Excellent Introduction
Many years ago a friend was making an once-in-a-lifetime trip to Africa to view wildlife. She had little photo experience but asked to borrow my camera and a wide-angle, normal and telephoto lens. I suggested she practice with it before leaving and talk to me if she had any questions. I didn't hear from her until her return. She was in tears. She had not been able to use the camera properly ...

Designs on the Land: Exploring America From the Air3 reviews
Alex S. Maclean, Gilles A. Tiberghien, ...
Thames & Hudson, 2003
An upbeat look at down.
This the third book I have bought of Alex MacLean's stunning aerial photographs of the American landscape. The other two, `Look at the Land' (1993) and `Across the American Landscape' (1996) were lovely to look at but this latest book with 430 photos is excellent.
MacLean captures the changing American scene beautifully and in pin sharp detail. Unfortunately, none of the photos are dated ...

Phototherapy Techniques: Exploring the Secrets of Personal Snapshots and Family Albums (2nd Edition)1 review
Judy Weiser
PhotoTherapy Centre Press, 1999
New Photo World
This book opened me up to a new world, where photos can be helpful in therapy - I am studying to be a counselor, and I also have a passion for photography. This book explains that using photos has nothing to do with beautiful pictures, but rather what has meaning for your clients in their therapy. It is a book that would be welcomed by all therapists.

Galen Rowell
Random House, Inc., 1984
Beautiful book that offers a good introduction
to China's mountains and its mountaineering history. The photographs in the book included some of the best from Rowell's portfolio and there's quite a bit of writing on the history and background of the mountains as well as from the Rowell's expedition to the mountains.

Exploring the 46 Adirondack High Peaks: With 282 Photos, Maps & Mountain Profiles, Excerpts from the Author's ...3 reviews
James R. Burnside
North Country Books, 1996
Great guide for novice AND experienced hikers
Along with the Guide to Adirondack Trails : High Peaks Region book (which is the one you'll take with you), this book will help you plan your outing in the High Peaks. I am a very novice hiker (1-Cascade, 2-Phelps) and use this to help me decide "which one(s) do we tackle this summer"? My husband, a former Scoutmaster and conqueror of the evil Mt. Colden (success on the 4th try), really ...

Franco Figari
White Star, 2007
Beautiful Picture Book at a Bargain Price
I was very pleased when I received this beautiful book. It is coffee table quality (no dust jacket), and with Amazon's buy 4-for-3 deal it's a great value. It contains many gorgeous photographs with very little text, which is what I was looking for. Flipping through it gave me a better understanding of what the country and some of its culture looks like. It's a virtual mini-trip. I will ...

Dreamscapes - Exploring Photo Montages
I am sure this book will become a well used and treasured favorite! Not only for the sheer joy of simply browsing its pages, but also as an instruction manuel for working out new skills and techniques in expanding my own phtographic efforts. Or as André so aptly put it, "fulfilling my need for deeper expression through photography".
I had the priviledge of meeting and studying with André at ...

Fabulous Pictures
This year in our studies of Medieval History we will cover Spain. I wanted a picture book that represented past and present. As we unwrapped the book, the pictures are so stunning my 9 yr old commented that it felt like we were in Spain and could we go there. My daughter is now interested in learning more about Spain. Mission accomplished.

One of the most fasinating books I've ever read
This book is a "sit on the edge of your seat, real life adventure." I couldn't believe how many times one man could slip through the hands of death and countinue on.

Exploring Missouri's Legacy: State Parks and Historic Sites 1 review
University of Missouri Press, 1992
Great Overall Look at Missouri State Parks
Having lived in Virginia, Tennessee, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, and Oklahoma, I can honestly say that Missouri has one of the best and strongest State Park Systems in the US. In fact, Missouri is a hidden gem in a nation of vacation goers who flock lemming like to Yellowstone, Yosemite, and the Smokies.
Missouri is centrally located and has an outstanding highway system that gets you to all ...

This is a great book but, I think that you should have the chapters online so that if a child forgets their book at school they can always get on the internet to do their work.

Exploring with the Microscope (Book of Discovery & Learning)10 reviews
Werner Nachtigall
Sterling, 1997
A wonderful book both for beginners and the more advanced.
For anyone who may be looking for a good introduction to microscopy, it's doubtful that there could be any better book. Nachtigall, who clearly loves his subject, writes with great enthusiasm and has packed an enormous amount of useful advice and information into its 160 pages. The first thing that struck me about the book was how well-balanced it is. Nachtigall, who is an authority on ...
