Beautiful Birds every day of the year!.......2006-03-09

I truly appreciate learning about birds every day from looking at my Audobon 365 Birds Calendar. Thanks for the beauty and the learning!

Backyard Bird Calendar Rocks!.......2006-02-25

If you find yourself for a lack of avian indoor splendor, check-out this calendar. Every day has a bird or bird-related picture on it, plus a giant opposite-facing bird picture. It's stylishly formated & tastefully decorated. More than adequate block size allows for numerous tasks/appointments for each day. This calendar is finely sized and made from quality materials. Being Audubon, the picture quality of our feathered friends is excellent in many aspects. I highly recommend it. It'll add lift to your year!

Great calendar for bird lovers.......2006-02-01

I've seen a lot of bird calendars and this is by far my favorite. What better than a bird a day for every day of the year?!? Great photos! I love it!

Book Description

Some 70 million Americans are birdwatchers. That's more people than the number of Americans who consider themselves pro football fans. That's twice the number of people who buy fishing licenses, and more than twice the number of golfers. And no one speaks to this group more authority than Audubon, who for 2006 presents hundreds of captivationg species in detail-rich, full-colour photographs and lively text. Birds ot the tropics, birds of prey, shorebirds, desert birds, arctic birds, plus familiar friends, the backyard songbirds: jays, sparrows, orioles, buntings, and brilliant red cardinals all perched right on your desktop.

If you are a bird lover like my sister is - You'll Love this - SHE REALLY DID.

still great.......2006-03-06

Consistently informative, this daily calendar delights with variety and useful information. The calendar could spend a bit more time on Hawaiian birds, but overall it provides excellent pictures while identifying some lesser known bird traits.

Bird-a-Day calendar.......2006-02-23

This calendar is an excellent learning tool for school age children through adults.

No better gift for a bird lover!.......2005-11-23

Next to a flower, the only comparable ideal of beauty must be the sound, color, form, and taste of our finely-feathered friends. I have always been a bird lover, certainly before the threat of bird flu, before the popularity of using owls as postal carriers in "Harry Potter", and probably even before the widespread popularity of KFC, and in my long experience, no one speaks with greater authority on birdal matters than the National Audubon Society.

But is one day really long enough to appreciate each bird as presented on the calendar, much less establish a meaningful relationship? Yes! By the feathered gods of ancient Sumer, yes! I can recall from the 2005 calendar each and every bird that graced my cubicle throughout this passing year, and each day I awake with a smile on my face knowing that a new feathered friend is awaiting me at the Midwestern insurance company where I work. With a helpful little profile accompanying each bird to break the ice of the first encounter, curiosity quickly leads to admiration, then fondness, then longing, then frustration, then betrayal, and then finally a very messy and violent break-up, so it is a good thing that a new bird is always around the corner on the next page.

Sometimes I wish I were a bird. Not so I could fly, or sing, or perch, or lay eggs--or relieve myself while flying, singing, perching, or laying eggs--but so I could eat worms. I eat worms anyway, but people consider it "gross" and "disgusting". Nobody says those things when a bird does it. I wish I were a bird.

Book Description

A receding wave that reveals hidden treasures, a tranquil salt marsh at dawn’s first light, a white sand beach alive with tumbling surf, a salt-sprayed rock ledge where seabirds congregate—these are the places that hold all of life’s possibilities. Water’s edge, that magical place where land and water meet, is at once meditative and restful; it’s the place we go to find a sense of peace.

Dense clumps of Lewis’s monkey flowers that enliven the banks of a rushing creek, clustered blossoms of yellow peppergrass and lavender blooms of Fremont phacelias that belie the notion of barren deserts, the dazzling spectacle of Drummond phlox and bluebonnets in blooming fields—all proclaim the exuberance of North America’s wildflowering plants. These blossoms shine in close-ups and burst forth infields and forests, revealing a profusion of color, shape, and texture.

Wrong mileage.......2006-09-08

I used this book for my travel to Saudi Arabia following the footsteps of Nassir Khusraw, the Persian poet and philosopher who went to Mecca in 1045. According to this book the distance between Medina to Jeddah and Mecca is 390 and 410, respectively. Nassir Khusraw in his "Safarnameh" says the distance between Medina and Mecca is 100 Farsang (about 600 kilometer). I was wondering why he overstimates the distance. In my book, then I added a paragraph explaining the reasons and theorizing that he might have travelled a longer route, due to dangers on the road and search for water. He was always correct in his estimation of the distance between many cities he travelled. Then I found out about MSN Encarta World Atlas. I typed the name of these cities and found out the distance was 629 and 605 kilometer, respectively.
Well done Nassir Khusraw a millenium ago! and Mr. Robison, correct this big mistake as soon as possible. The book has little practical use as far as Mecca and Medina is concerned

Garbage Book.......2000-06-29

First of all this Iranian guy is correct. The official name of this body of water is PERSIAN Gulf. The term Arabian Gulf was invented in 1970s by some Pan Arabists who failed to show up at their geography classes. The author's use of this term shows simply his arrogance and fact that he does not know the region nor its people. By using "Arabian Gulf" he simply wants to impress ignorant Arabs into buying his book.

Other than that his book is useless as it does not touch on the cultural aspects on the region.

Worked well for me.......2000-02-13

Having just returned from a 5 week trip through Oman, UAE, Qatar, and Bahrain I can say that Lonely Planet has again produced an accurate and useful guide. And despite the fact that it is several years old, prices and descriptions were still right. The guide's advice to try to get to the Musandem Peninsula in Oman was a fine piece of advice--it is amazingly beautiful.

And to the person who gave one star to this guide because of it's reference to the "Arabian Gulf": relax. If you say "Persian Gulf" to anyone in the Arab Gulf states they will have no idea what body of water you are talking about. I suppose you would be equally upset if 25 years ago a guidebook to China refered to the capital as "Beijing" instead of the Western imposed name "Peking"?

It's the PERSIAN Gulf not the "Arabian" Gulf.......2000-01-03

The book makes repeated references to the "Arabian Gulf" - but there is no such thing. There is an Arabian Sea, and a Gulf of Oman, and the PERSIAN Gulf, but no "Arabian Gulf" exists. The Persian Gulf is the official name of that body of water, and has been known by that name since ancient times. Even the ancient Greeks referred to it by its correct name. One has to wonder, if Lonely Planet is so willing to pander to the Arab governments of the PERSIAN gulf in this manner by renaming the PERSIAN Gulf, then how accurate can their travelogues really be?

Very practical, essential reference.......1998-09-29

This is an essential reference for any tourist, traveller or expatriate relocating to the Arab Gulf states.

The book's information and advice enable a new-comer to develop a sense for local atmospherics and sensitivities so one adapt, integrate and thrive in the host country culture and in the supportive expatriate communities.

Good coverage of cultural, commercial and logistical (i.e., "Where can I find...?") details.

Highly recommended. Written with imagination, humor, and attention to detail.

FWIW, the earlier (1993) edition of this book I used when I was in the United Arab Emirates and Oman in 1995 was 100% accurate. The maps and guides to local services in the smaller cities were exceptionally helpful.

An impressively well-researched and high-quality work, as is typical of Lonely Planet Press titles.

Book Description

In recent years Molecular Biology has experienced an unprecedented revolution by the discovery of functional small RNAs. The number of cellular processes in which non-coding RNAs are involved is growing rapidly and include gene regulation on the transcriptional, post-transcriptional and translational level. To complicate matters, these processes seem to be strongly interconnected on the one hand, and diverse among different organisms on the other. This volume describes strategies for the discovery and validation of small RNAs and provides a snapshot of our current understanding of the different mechanisms triggered by small RNAs.

Book Description

This volume contains the collected works of the eminent chemist and physicist Lars Onsager, one of the most influential scientists of the 20th Century.

The volume includes Onsager's previously unpublished PhD thesis, a biography by H C Longuet-Higgins and M E Fisher, an autobiographical commentary, selected photographs, and a list of Onsager discussion remarks in print.

Onsager's scientific achievements were characterized by deep insights into the natural sciences. His two best-known accomplishments are his reciprocal relations for irreversible processes, for which he received the 1968 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, and his explicit solution of the two-dimensional Ising model, a mathematical tour de force that created a sensation when it appeared. In addition, he made significant theoretical contributions to other fields, including electrolytes, colloids, superconductivity, turbulence, ice, electrons in metals, and dielectrics.

In this volume, Onsager's contributions are divided into the following fields: irreversible processes; the Ising model; electrolytes; colloids; helium II and vortex quantization; off-diagonal long-range order and flux quantization; electrons in metal; turbulence; ion recombination; fluctuation theory; dielectrics; ice and water; biology; Mathieu functions. The different fields are evaluated by leading experts. The commentators are P W Anderson, R Askey, A Chorin, C Domb, R J Donnelly, W Ebeling, J-C Justice, H N W Lekkerkerker, P Mazur, H P McKean, J F Nagle, T Odijk, A B Pippard, G Stell, G H Weiss, and C N Yang.

Book Description

Models for the mechanical behavior of porous media introduced more than 50 years ago are still relied upon today, but more recent work shows that, in some cases, they may violate the laws of thermodynamics. In The Thermophysics of Porous Media, the author shows that physical consistency requires a unique description of dynamic processes that involve porous media, and that new dynamic variables-porosity, saturation, and megascale concentration-naturally enter into the large-scale description of porous media. The new degrees of freedom revealed in this study predict new dynamic processes that are not associated with compressional motions. The book details the construction of a Lorentz invariant thermodynamic lattice gas model and shows how the associated nonrelativistic, Galilean invariant model can be used to describe flow in porous media. The author develops the equations of seismic wave propagation in porous media, the associated boundary conditions, and surface waves. He also constructs the equations for both immiscible and miscible flows in porous media and their related instability problems. The implications of the physical theory presented in this book are significant, particularly in applications in geophysics and the petroleum industry. The Thermophysics of Porous Media offers a unique opportunity to examine the dynamic role that porosity plays in porous materials.

Book Description

This book is a wonderful work of fiction by H.G. Wells, the author of "The Time Machine." It is the tale of a fallen angel who simply cannot adapt to society in a small English village. The angel's reactions to the villagers, his pureness and wholesomeness make him an enemy of the people. As time passes on earth, he becomes more and more human, falling in love and suffering all the human trials and tribulations.
