| I cannot imagine reading this and not being moved. I cannot imagine reading this and not being blown away by the wonder of existence and the wonder of the universe as you do so. I cannot imagine reading this and not absolutely loving Carl Sagan by the time you reach the last page.
COSMOS is an amazing read. At times, it may feel a little densely packed, but that's only because its every single word is important, is loaded with meaning. In 13 gorgeously color-illustrated chapters, ... Read More: |

It's a model that decreases oil dependency at the grassroots level, offering insights on addictions, oil culture, and transition processes and alternatives. A 'must' for any serious about change.

| If there's no pollination, there's no fruit and that time is approaching as commercial bee-keepers chart that one third of the world's entire bee population had mysteriously died last year. FRUITLESS FALL tells the larger story of why bees are key to our lives and provides a wide-ranging story of beekeeping methods, cause of bee deaths, common myths, and the solutions to keeping bee populations healthy. Any natural history library needs this.

| About a month ago, (September 2008) I had a chance to hear Richard Fortey himself lecturing about this book. The lecture, very fittingly, was happening in a natural history museum. As his lecture unfolded, I found myself with many of the most interesting characters that have ever contributed to natural history, both famous and obscure. I also learned about what goes on behind the scenes of the museum, and of some of the many interesting and strange specimens which are not on display, such as an "accursed amethyst" ... Read More: |

| A mother told me about this book when I was searching for help in explaining death to my 7 year old son. He was overwhelmed and worried about the people he loved dying after a pet had died. Most reviews will tell you how wonderful this story is but there is so much more in this little book. The book also includes a prayer that you and your child can say (if someone in their lives has died). Also, there is a section for parents that offers methods to initiate a discussion with children on how the book relates to them and ... Read More: |

| This was an outstanding book. Filled with a lot of information I had only partially known, and seldom understood. The story of thousands of dams built for no reason other then to keep two Federal agencies in business. Some success and some death causing failures. A must read for anyone west of the Mississippi with a interest in the historical infrastructure of the western states despite the massive mishandling of Federal funds to aid in ecological disaster. A true study in government math at alludes us all. |

| The third book in the series and you know exactly what to expect. Yes, folks, it is every bit as entertaining as the first two, and that's probably all you need to know. But I'll go ahead and mention that he spends some time in the RAF during World War II, which we knew he would as the second book ended. I'll also mention that he and Helen have a baby, which you probably expected. One of the great joys of his writing is discovery, so I'd hate to screw that up with a spoiler, but these two tidbits are on the back cover anyway. Oh, and halfway ... Read More: |
