Geoffrey Sher, Virginia Marriage Davis, ...

Facts on File, 2005

Good source of information
My husband and I recently found out that IVF was probably our only hope at having a biological child. We live in an area where IVF is basically non-existent... as is the information that we've received. I wanted to find out everything I could about the IVF process, expenses, etc. This book was an excellent source of information from fertility testing, to the entire IVF process. It also went ...

It's on the tip of my tongue...
De.scrip.tion.ary, n., a big book of words arranged in a common sense order designed to help the reader find an unknown word. Similar to dictionary and thesaurus, with key differences. Many times, people have the word just on the tip of their tongues, but cannot find the word. Dictionaries are often no help in such instances. Despite the wealth of information contained therein, and the ...

The Practical Archaeologist: How We Know What We Know About the Past

Jane McIntosh

Facts on File, 1999

A superb, beautifully illustrated overview of archaeology
Jane McIntosh's "The Practical Archaeologist" is a superb overview of archaeology for the lay reader. Although I don't have much of a scientific bent, I have always been fascinated by archaeology (probably too many Agatha Christie novels), and I treated myself to this many years ago to see if the real thing was as interesting as I imagined it to be. While nothing can completely convey the hard ...

The Encyclopedia Of Wood: A Tree-By-Tree Guide To The World's Most Versatile Resource

9 reviews

Facts on File, 2005

Excellent book for the money, but ...
To start, this is a very nice book, lots of nice pictures of things made from wood, location shots, and as much information as almost anyone would want to know about wood, in general. My problem is with the title word "Encyclopedia". "Thorough Introduction" would have been a better choice. As for the individual woods covered, the author selected about 150 which he expanded on nicely. ...

Shaista Wahab, Barry Youngerman

Facts on File, 2007

Afghanistan: At the Vortex of Worldpower Rivalry
Afghanistan is often viewed through the lens of "the war on terror." But area specialists, however, see Afghanistan as the gateway to the energy-rich Central Asian and Caspian fossil-fuel deposists. Endemic violence and dwindling supply from traditional sources serves as a midwife among world powers to control sources now thought to surpass the Middle East. Afghanistan is key to their ...

6 reviews

Facts on File, 2003

Fascinating!!
The Atlas of Language is a good surprise for anyone interested in the origin and development of the languages of the world. I am quite familiar on many books on the subject and it is difficult to see so much good text information bundled with pictorial and graphical data of such quality and content. Besides the basic info that all introductory books must have, "The Atlas of the Language" goes a ...

Good for adults too!
I thought this book was well written, even if it is supposedly for kids. It was full of information, pictures, and interesting trivia. As a free-lance writer and researcher of the Twenties, it's a good book to have in one's personal library!

Bees of the World (Of the World)

1 review
Christopher O'Toole, Anthony Raw

Facts on File, 2004

good information, but. . . .
I like this book a fair amount. It's an overview of the bees of the world, with good no nonsense information about miners, masons, carpenters, and so on as well as the more social bees. I especially loved their effective use of diagrams for the shapes of various bees' nests. The thing I didn't like was their intrusive and oftentimes nonsensical (and certainly slavish) adherence to the nonsensical ...

The Encyclopedia of Witches and Witchcraft

16 reviews
Rosemary Ellen Guiley

Facts on File, Inc., 1999

Excellent, but not for the Wiccan Faint of Heart.
This has to be one of the most impressive books on Witches and Witchcraft I have ever Purchased. One because it is not exclusively about Wicca, but of Witchcraft. ( Let the world understand that not all Witches, are Wiccans. First of all the book is huge, and has entries on Demons, the Devil, "Which really did have a big part in the history of Witchcraft." What impressed me the most of this ...

O CANADA! (To be sung to non-Canadians only.)
Suppose you had to write an entire history of America in fewer than three hundred pages, including maps and photos, and aimed at readers who know nothing about it. Where would you start??@The founding of Jamestown? The centuries before that? How many pages would you devote to the Civil War and its causes? To the changes in everyday life?@brought about by the railroads? To the Depression? What ...

The Search For King Arthur

David Day

Facts On File, 1995

Magnificent illustrations!
I have long had an interest in Arthurian legend and myth. This book, with its beautiful illustrations and wonderful recount of the myths that surround Arthur, was one of the most enjoyable texts on Arthur I have read. Not only did it include the myth, or legend, as it is told, but detailed how the myth came about and/or how it has changed through the years. Anyone who has ever been interested ...

I keep it where I can read it best!
Okay -- I'll admit that I have it in the bathroom, but only because I want to read every item and it is a good place for quick reading. As an aspiring writer of fantasy -- which I don't understand because I don't care for fantasy -- I need to have some understand of these symbols and how they relate to my stories. I have been able to connect bits and pieces into my understanding and ...
