This is a fabulous account of the search for the tallest trees and the resulting studies of the canopy ecosystems. This may sound dry but it is so beautifully written that it is a book you cannot stop reading.

Deep in my heart!
The Noble Wilds shows the deep nature of animals. Through this book, we come to know for instance that the swans have uncondicional love towards their babies, just like humans do.They forget about themselves and sacrifice 24/7 for the sake of their kids until they can live on their own. And that touched me so much!
Thank you, Lady (Supreme Master Ching Hai), for sharing with us these unique ...

The Call of the Wild is a Savage Glimpse of Nature Tooth and Nail through the eyes of a husky dog
Jack London (1876-1916)was a man of the outdoors who wrote best about nature tooth and claw. In his great novel "The Call of the Wild" he tells one of the greatest dog stories ever written.
Buck is a dog living on the California ranch of Judge Miller. He is kidnapped and shipped to the gold fields of Alaska in the 1890's. Buck was placed in a cage and beaten with savagery by a man in a red ...

Meat on them bones
Wow. I must have read Call of the Wild earlier in life when I liked "books about dogs." I read it again recently in a group discussing "children's books." To me a truly great "children's book" is one that speaks to any other age, too. This one sure speaks to at age 60+. The worst thing about the edition I read was that it said on the cover, "Can Buck resist the lure of the wolves?" Duh. He's ...

WILD fermentation not sterilized
This book is required reading for any and all who are on the verge of crossing the paper thin bounderies of fear that our sanitized, white bread culture has shocked us all into believing is right and true. I have read a few of the other comments that people have left and I wonder if they were speaking more of their own lives and not of the life that this book will possibly help you realize. It ...

John Eldredge
Thomas Nelson, 2006
Wild at Heart: Right On!
This is the first Christian book for men I have ever found that addresses men as men, and does not encourage them to be wimpy casper milktoasts. It addresses real men in a real way, gives excellent guidance on being a real man, and finding a real and honest relationship with our father of fathers, God. I would recommend for every man, and for single moms raising sons, or moms raising sons where ...

wild and wonderful
this is a wonderfuly illustrated book that manages to incorporate the many species of endangered animals names with the letters of the alphabet.While I bought it for my grandson(2) he is too young to appreciate it, so I have put it away for him to enjoy in the years ahead. I recommend it for the art work and for all the information that is on each page.

Great werewolves!
I'm not usually a big fan of shape-shifter romance. I got this at the library to tide me over until Ms. McCarty's new Hell's Eight adventure arrives. I will return this book to the library, then buy my own copy for my "keeper" shelf. Wolves or Cowboys, Sarah McCarty knows what she's doing! Loved it!

Joyce Carol Oates' Tour De Force
In a recent phone conversation I had with a friend, she informed me that she had just finished Joyce Carol Oates' latest book. I replied that I had heard her read from it at an event in Atlanta not long ago. She asked: "What short story did she read from?" I find out then that THE GRAVEDIGGER'S DAUGHTER is not Ms. Oates' latest and have learned since then that WILD NIGHTS will be followed by a ...

Follow Your Star
Multiple story lines; multiple characters that maybe aren't. Where am I going? I don't know. What am I going to do when I get there? I don't know. Who am I going with? I don't know. Why am I doing this? I don't know. Will I ever know? Maybe.
Confusion abounds; but that is a good thing. Characters do things we don't understand; and that is a good thing. To enjoy this, just go along for the ...

VIZ Media LLC, 2008
Sweet and funny...
I am hooked on this series!
It's just serious enough in parts that I find myself very curious as to the backstory of the characters, but often hilarious. At first, I found the romance to be somewhat unbelievable...but it's really grown on me.
This is just a straightforward, funny, sweet story. The artwork is a plus to me--the color illustrations are awesome.
Very fun to read, I ...
