African Elephants: A Celebration of Majesty

4 reviews
Daryl Balfour, Sharna Balfour

New Holland Publishers Ltd, 1997

Impressive book for the photographs & text
This is a most impressive book on the African Elephant, with page after page of fabulous photos of these mighty beasts. It would make a great coffee table book just for the pictures but it is much more than that. The main focus is on preservation of the species in the face of shrinking habitats and the poaching for ivory that continues today. The efforts of 16 African wildlife preserves and ...

Jack Jackson

New Holland Publishers Ltd, 1996

Still unmatched after all these years.
The book is a great reference for people who are planning to or thinking about diving in the Philippines. It provides a good description of what to expect with regard to general dive locales, as well as specific dives. The book works, and works well because of several reasons. First, it provides (still valid) contact information on dive operators and lodging providers in the different ...

Roger Steene - Extraordinary!
This iconic book features so many incredibly weird and beautiful creatures from Indonesia. Roger's ability to show incredible detail using 35mm film is truly astounding. Most of the marine animals included in this book will soon only exist on paper, sadly. Get out there and buy one!

The Dive Sites of Thailand (Dive Sites of the World)

Paul Lees

New Holland Publishers Ltd, 1996

Excellent Book! Very Comprehensive.
This is the best book about dive sites in Thailand on the market right now. However, it is quite old already because now that new dive sites have been discovered and some old dive sites have been reserved. Still, 90% of this book works just fine!

Georgeous Photographs
The photographs in this book are VERY high quality - the best I've seen - and there are lots of them. The colors are bright, brilliant even! Most photos are full page. I bought it to give as a Christmas gift to an orchid-loving friend, but I really want to keep it so I guess I'll have to get a second copy! The book is also well organized. If you love orchids, I'm pretty sure you'll ...

Quick Quilts to Make in a Weekend

Rosemary Wilkinson

New Holland Publishers Ltd, 1997

The best beginner's book
I made my first quilts using this book --about five of them so far. The instructions are clear, the quilts are diverse enough to satisfy every taste--rail fence, Amish, Provencal, bargello, courthouse steps, checks, madras--and they are presented with very attractive hand-colored illustrations in a choice of color ways. I have many quilt books, but this is my all-time favorite. If I had only one ...

So what are you going to get her for Christmas, birthday, anniversary? Here's a bunch of things that I guarantee you would never have thought of yourself. Well, there's the Aston Martin on ...

Reptiles and Amphibians of Australia

Harold G. Cogger

New Holland Publishers, Ltd., 2000

Bible of Australian Herpetology
Since the first edition of this work came out in 1975, this work has been a must-have for anyone, layman or professional, who is interested in Australia's unique and very speciose collection of reptiles and amphibians. Successive upgrades through the years have kept this book up to date (but at the same time considerably larger and more expensive than the original). Quite simply, this book is a ...

Herman Charles Bosman

New Holland Publishers,, 1993

Herman charles Bosman - an overlooked literary genius
Bosman is THE literary genius of South Africa. By turns, funny, ironic, sad and engry, he reveals all the foibles of South African rural Afrikaner life in the first half of the 20th century. If you can read only one South African writer, make it Bosman, you will be well rewarded. The challenge is that Bosman is so little known outside South Africa, yet he remains perpetually in print in South ...

I'm Hooked
These are NOT the rugs you have thoughtlessly wiped your feet on at Aunt Bertha's house. WOW! This book has rugs that have left the floor and have risen to an art form. They are gorgeous! The delectible photos and clear directions make you want to rip up rags and get started immediately.

The Londolozi Experience-Supurb
I visited Londolozi in May 2001 for 4 days. Incredible experience. I saw this book there. Someone had brought it with him to Londolozi, but was unable to purchase a copy in South Africa. I want this book very much and have Amazon.com looking for one for me. It is a wonderful book. Would it benefit someone who had not been to Londolozi? Yes, very much! Once you see the leopards of ...
