Avon A, 2008

A crowning achievement
With this book, Colleen McCullough continues her wonderful, fascinating, and so-very-important series. The Masters of Rome breathes life into history, giving us the details of daily life to the broad scope of battles which determined the fates of so many. The Grass Crown continues the histories of Gaius Marius and Lucius Cornelius Sulla, both significantly older than they were in The First ...

Leaves of Grass (1855 First Edition Text)

Walt Whitman

Wilder Publications, 2008

What book will you get when you order this?
There seems to be some confusion, both in the editorial reviews and the customer reviews, about what edition is being referred to in this listing. the first editorial review correctly discusses the first edition as shorter and "less bloated" than the deathbed edition. however, the rest of the reviews seem to discuss either edition indiscriminately. the two are effectively different books. ...

The Grass Is Singing: A Novel (P.S.)

Doris Lessing

Harper Perennial Modern Classics, 2008

The Grass is Singing
Because of several particular details early on, it was during her "happy years" that I began wondering if the subject of sexual abuse would enter the picture. The first detail was her aversion to intimacies, whether in friendship or love. Her happiness was brought about by everything being in order and in its place. No messes at work, no messes in relationships. Lessing describes her ability ...

Death in the Long Grass

Peter H. Capstick

St. Martin's Press, 1978

The most important outdoor books ever written
Hemingway, Ruark, and Sanchez are all pale imitators of the great Peter Hathaway Capstick. Try to imagine an American walking away from a Wall Street career to hunt as a professional guide in Africa. Now imagine that this guy could write WAY BETTER than Hemingway, and you're still not there. A small snipet from the chapter on leopard. "...the bark of the tree, when, suddenly, your gazing ...

Leaves of Grass: The Original 1855 Edition (Thrift Edition)

Walt Whitman

Dover Publications, 2007

What More Can Be Said?
It's difficult to think of something appropriate to say about a man who spent his life trying to express the panorama of humanity through the lense of his own heart. From a drop of blood to the grandeur of a shipyard or a continent, he takes all readers on a journey wild with raving, raging, sorrow, longing, humbleness and pride. At once he is totally modern and yet rife with history. For ...

Grasses: An Identification Guide (Sponsored by the Roger Tory Peterson Institute)

9 reviews

Houghton Mifflin, 1992

Finally!!!
As a working environmental biologist I must frequently record vast lists of species I encounter in the field. While eductaed in most plants and animals I have always put the grasses into a mental compartment of "troublesome" plants. This book provides clear and immensely helpful idenitifcation guides to a group of plants that are both common and difficult, for even the experienced, to ...

All Flesh Is Grass: Pleasures & Promises Of Pasture Farming

Gene Logsdon

Swallow Press, 2004

This book will stir up your passion...
A compelling look at the benefits and solid argument for pasture farming. Skillfully written as if you were engaged in a friendly dialogue with an old friend, you are provided with more than an armfull of knowledge to guide you down the path of true agrarianism with respect to livestock and crop farming. I came away with a clearer sense of the merits of adhering to the natural cycle and ...

Descriptive & entertaining
This is my son's favorite book. The age range for this book says 4 & up, but my 2 year old just loves it. The illustrations are magnificent. My son & his day care class love to get involved and make the sounds that are in the tall, tall grass. Highly recommend!

How To Identify Grasses: And Grasslike Plants

H.D. Harrington

Swallow Press, 1977

How to Identify Grasses & Grasslike Plants
This book is practical and systematic. The topic is difficult, at best, and the author gives all the tools and understanding needed to build up your skills. As a consultant that works with native plant materials, I have found this book to be a useful field reference in separating out invasive species.

Landscaping With Ornamental Grasses Sunset book

Fiona Gilsenan

Sunset Publishing Corporation, 2002

A very unique book for innovative landscape design!
"By incorporating ornamental grasses into your garden, you are doing more than choosing just another plant out of many available. You are inviting nature into your landscape. With their naturalistic simplicity, grasses are the perfect plants for a new gardening sensibility, one that works in harmony with the earth rather than strangling against it..." Fiona Gilsenan writes. She continues to ...

Grass Roots by Stuart Woods
Absolutely Woods' best book. This was his first novel and I think it is his best. I have enjoyed every one I have read of his, but this one was like living my childhood over again. I "know" many of the characters in this story. It is a very well written storyline and the characters are all exactly as I remember from the 50's and 60's. Great book and a great read!

A Miracle of Writing: Capote's Genius at Full Throttle
[I wrote this review in 1999 as "A Reader." I hope more people read it and read this book.] For years I've known about this work but never read it until now. I've been fishing about in contemporary fiction, looking for something entertaining, enlightening, and superbly well written, but my search ended entirely when I finally read this novel, written in 1951. Set in the South, in the ...

My Husband and Lawn love this book!
I purchased this book for my husband after he saw this on PBS. He loves taking care of our lawn so this was right up his alley. We've had the book a year and we constantly get compliments on our lawn from all of our neighbors or guests we have over. There are a lot of neat tips and tricks you can try using household items like dish soap, spices, baking soda, etc. I forget all of the ...

Grass for His Pillow (Tales of the Otori, Book 2)

36 reviews
Lian Hearn

Riverhead Trade, 2004

A challenge, but worth it.
This is the second book in the Otori 'trilogy' (now in five parts), so before embarking on this book you need to have read 'Across the Nightingale Floor' (and preferably 'Heaven's net is wide' before that). It is set in a mythical, feudal (and fictional) Japanese society, centred around the story of Otori Takeo, the product of three conflicting cultures which all want to make him their own, to ...

Rick Darke

Timber Press, Incorporated, 2007

Beautiful book
Beautifully illustrated book and so specific. I had a hard time getting used to the detail because most books give you just a paragraph on the grass and very little on care, etc. It's everything you want to know about Ornamental Grasses and more. Very, very complete reference source. Maybe be a bit too much for a average gardener, but if you love grasses and gardening -- this is an ...

Susan Power

Berkley Trade, 1997

Practically Lyrical
The editorial and other customer reviews do a good job of covering the characters and basic plot, so I won't go into that. This has to be the best book I've read in months. It's practically lyrical, the sentences are so pretty. The dust jacket is more than a little off on the plot, so don't read that. It's a collection of self contained stories about a messed up family living on a reservation ...
