Tideland Treasure: The Naturalist's Guide to the Beaches and Salt Marshes of Hilton Head Island and the Southeastern Coast

Customer Reviews:

An absolute must-have.......2006-12-15

I used this book for two summers when I lived on Hilton Head. My job was to drive people around on small boats and teach them about the natural wonders of barrier islands. Since I was a boat captain, not a naturalist, this book saved my bacon many times over. Anytime anyone asked me a question, I'd just grab the book and look it up, and I'd usually give it to them so they could look at the pictures. I recommend this book for anyone living near the coast in the Southeast. In fact, a lot of it is still relevant to folks in the Northeast. Some of the species are different, but the processes are still the same.

What's not clear from Amazon's description is that this book has a unique format. Each page was originally an article in the local paper, so you get one page of info per critter or process. The pages are works of art, hand-drawn and lettered in pen and ink. Any one of them would be worthy of framing. The language is clear and easy to understand, written for laymen but with enough info to satisfy naturalists. In fact, they're so beautiful and well-written that I'm here today to buy a copy for a professor of mine who teaches college classes on the geology and natural history of the East coast. There's nothing in this book he doesn't know or can't look up in a normal reference book. It's the artwork that really makes this book pop.

Don't hesitate to buy this--you won't be disappointed!

Wow.......2002-04-03

Very enjoyable and useful resource for the Coastal Carolinas.......1999-06-11

This book uses descriptive illustrations to add to the enjoyment of its useful information. Its particularly relevant to the Coastal Carolina region and contains interesting and helpful facts for the beachgoer. Its format serves the single page reader as well as those who enjoy larger portions. Highly Recommended

Not Only an Author.......2002-06-28

Mrs. Roberts is not only known as an author to me. My brother Josh and I both had her as our Kindergarten teacher! We've both read the books as they come out and love to read them remembering our times we had when we in her class room! This book truly brings out the kid in you!

That's Me All Right!.......2001-09-29

Even though I'm not a second grade girl, as I read this charming little book I found myself remembering my own childhood and saying, "That's me all right!" This book is a valuable resource for any parent with an ADHD child. In plain language, using an interesting story, Barabara Roberts portrays the dilemmas that haunt every child with attention deficit disorder. "But, Mom, let me tell you what really happened" is their theme song. This is a MUST have and MUST read for every parent of an ADHD child.

I would urge Ms. Roberts to consider a similar series with a male character.

Fun, affirming picture book for the active girl.......2001-05-28

Phoebe is an enthusiastic, creative girl. Because of her high activity level, she has has to struggle to pay attention in class, and has only one good friend. Girls with hyperactive AD/HD as well as other active kids may see something of themselves in Phoebe.

Phoebe's principal and her mother are sympathetic but also help Phoebe see that she has some responsibilities for her actions. In the end, Phoebe's energy and daring make her the class heroine. She takes quick action to rescue the class pet.

This book is uses superb, sensitive illustrations to follow the text. I especially liked how the pictures conveyed the strong bond of affection between Phoebe and her mother.

In the story, Phoebe is never formally identified as having AD/HD. I like having such a book because it can be used to explore behaviors without limiting ourselves to a specific diagnosis.

WHAT FLOWER IS THAT?.......2002-06-16

THE CONTENTS OF THE BOOK IS GREAT. BUT IT WAS NOT THE BOOK I ORDERED. THIS BOOK I GOT FROM SUPERBSTUFF WAS DIRTY, SMELLY, AND HAD THE PAGES STUCK TOGETHER BY FOOD OR SOMETHING. THE FRONT AND BACK COVERS ARE DIRTY. IT MUST HAVE BEEN PACKED AWAY FOR MANY YEARS IN A DAMP AND DIRTY PLACE. I AM VERY UNHAPPY WITH IT AND I WILL BE SENDING IT BACK.

The book I grab first when trying to name a flower!.......1999-02-01

A large inventory of the flowers that you will see most often in the garden. The pictures are excellent for locating that particular flower when all you have to go on, is a flower you plucked by hand. (So often NO ONE knows the name.) That is when I reach for my very worn copy of Stirling MacOboy's, What Flower is That? I have over 40 flower search books, and still this book seems to be my favorite. It is easy to use and has Botanical names and pronunciation. All-in-all, a must have in the home library. Sorry to see it is no longer in print. Will make it a very valuable book.

Book Description

Negative-strand RNA viruses, so named because of the polarity of their genomic RNA to mRNA, include important human and non-human pathogens. This volume covers major advances in reverse genetics techniques over the past decade, state-of-the-art basic science and the clinical implications of experimental findings. This should rekindle interest in negative-strand RNA viruses among readers, including those in other disciplines, leading to further progress in understanding these important viruses and in developing effective measures of control.

A handy visual overview of various types of Castles.......2007-08-20

This is a spiffy little book that overviews medieval castles.

* The ranks, titles and functions of the various people that owned and ran castles back in feudal times.
* The different types of castles, with full color illustrations of their layouts, and individual strengths & weaknesses.
* There's a map listing actual castles in the U.K., Europe, and Japan.
* There's even a guide on how to read (and design) Heraldy Blazes and Coats of Arms.
* The book is also 'internet linked' to a website in which you can enter page numbers of the book, and get a list of jumplinks to related websites.

Even though it's target audience is young adults, and even though it weighs in at a mere 92 pages, it's STILL a great little book.

It's a MUST HAVE book for the following readers:

* Hardcore fans of games like WARHAMMER, AD&D, and other medieval-based role playing games (RPGs) and combat simulations.
* Aspiring writers who'd like to read up on basic medieval castle dynamics before writing about such things.

Both categories apply to yours truly.

Book Description

This inspired novella, with its outrageous cast of superficial characters, brilliantly showcases Jane Austen's comic genius. Presented here with A History of England and Catharine. As Miss Margaret Lesley and Miss Charlotte Lutterell divulge their innermost secrets through a series of letters, each reveals where her true priorities lie—if a bridegroom is fatally wounded the night before his wedding, the first concern must inexorably be for the luxurious food that will be laid to waste. As one plot gives way to the next, and as the heroines exchange wisdom on adultery, elopement, divorce, and remarriage, they increasingly fall prey to the merciless and lambasting sword of Jane Austen’s wit. Author of the masterpieces Pride and Prejudice and Emma, Jane Austen is one of the world’s best-loved novelists.
