From the Publisher.......2005-11-21
"Henry David Thoreau (American, 1817-1862) extracted himself from the routines of employment and civilized sociability to spend two years in the woods. Walden, Thoreau's book on his experience published in 1854, has become one of the most highly respected works in American literature. In Thoughts from Walden Pond, Charles Gurche's brilliant photographs from the diverse regions of America are paired with excerpts from Thoreau's masterpiece. The pictures with the text transport us to a state of heightened awareness and impart an almost cellular sense of the importance of wild places. Dona Budd's introductory essay offers an engrossing biography of Thoreau along with her insightful reflections on Walden.
"96 pages, 57 color photographs, size: 8 x 10". Smythe-sewn paperbound book, with flaps. ISBN: 0-7649-0617-8."--© Pomegranate

Disappointing.......2006-09-27
The pictures were unlabeled so I have no idea where they were taken but apparently not at Walden Pond, at least not all of them. One picture of a mountain and lake my father is sure is Mt. Rainier. He insists the type of trees in the picture do not grow in the East. Considering he has a bachelor's degree in forestry, I am inclined to believe him.
In addition to unlabeled pictures there is very little of Thoreau's wisdom, one passage per month and that in small print. It's a nice, attractive calendar but with too little Walden and too little Thoreau.

From the Publisher.......2005-11-08
"Not exactly a hermit--he greatly enjoyed occasional visits and conversation--H. D. Thoreau nevertheless devoted most of his year on the banks of Walden Pond to solitary observation, contemplation, and the recording of what he saw and thought. This calendar offers pithy excerpts from Walden, the little book that so influenced the American worldview, to accompany Charles Gurche's serene wilderness studies, offering food for thought and solace for the eye. ¶ 13 x 12" wall calendar (opens to 13 x 24") with twelve full-color reproductions. ISBN: 0-7649-3140-7. Click on the small picture to see the back cover. Related items available in Places of Interest."--© Pomegranate

THE essential flora of the West.......2007-01-30
The seven volumes of the Intermountain Flora (the final one will be published in the next few years) are the finest works ever on the flora of the West. Intermountain Flora is noted for the accuracy and abundance of its information and the beauty and usefulness of its thousands of line drawings. All authors are among the most respected botanists of their time so one can feel very confident in the information presented.
Complete keys are provided leading to detailed descriptions of family, genus, and species with a number of drawings for each species. There are many extras included about each species making the Intermountain Flora even more valuable: many synonyms, derivation of names, historical information, recent research on the species and the authors' views about the accuracy of the research, habitat, references, etc.
These are not texts you carry in the field; they are texts you study, admire, and learn from at home.
What they do not tell you.........2005-05-19
What is not disclosed is this (is probably) volume 4 of the 7 volume set (volume 3 is in two parts: A & B). Volume 2 (I think) is next to impossible to find, and volumes 4 and 5 are tough to find.
Botanist's Bible.......2001-03-21
The six volumes that comprise the Intermountain Flora serve as indispensable references for anyone studying plants in Western North America. The broad distribution of most of the plants in the Intermountain Flora make the books useful to those working in adjacent areas. We keep these sturdy, clearly-written and detailed volumes close at hand.

Book Description
No question in theoretical biology has been more perennially controversial or perplexing than "What is a species?" Recent advances in phylogenetic theory have called into question traditional views of species and spawned many concepts that are currently competing for general acceptance. Once the subject of esoteric intellectual exercises, the "species problem" has emerged as a critically important aspect of global environmental concerns. Completion of an inventory of biodiversity, success in conservation, predictive knowledge about life on earth, management of material resources, formulation of scientifically credible public policy and law, and more depend upon our adoption of the "right" species concept.
Quentin D. Wheeler and Rudolf Meier present a debate among top systematic biology theorists to consider the strengths and weaknesses of five competing concepts. Debaters include (1) Ernst Mayr (Biological Species Concept), (2) Rudolf Meier and Rainer Willmann (Hennigian species concept), (3) Brent Mishler and Edward Theriot (one version of the Phylogenetic Species Concept), (4) Quentin Wheeler and Norman Platnick (a competing version of the Phylogenetic Species Concept), and (5) E. O. Wiley and Richard Mayden (the Evolutionary Species Concept).
Each author or pair of authors contributes three essays to the debate: first, a position paper with an opening argument for their respective concept of species; second, a counterpoint view of the weakness of competing concepts; and, finally, a rebuttal of the attacks made by other authors. This unique and lively debate format makes the comparative advantages and disadvantages of competing species concepts clear and accessible in a single book for the first time, bringing to light numerous controversies in phylogenetic theory, taxonomy, and philosophy of science that are important to a wide audience. Species Concepts and Phylogenetic Theory will meet a need among scientists, conservationists, policy-makers, and students of biology for an explicit, critical evaluation of a large and complex literature on species. An important reference for professionals, the book will prove especially useful in classrooms and discussion groups where students may find a concise, lucid entrée to one of the most complex questions facing science and society.
Customer Reviews:
An informative debate.......2001-01-10
This volume treats the "species problem" with a clear view of some of its competing hypothesis. Probably its greatest merit is due to the possibility of a written debate which guides the reader through the doubts of the controversies of this charming subject.

Book Description
Ingeborg Bachmann (1926-1973) was one of the major writers of the 20th century: a poet who turned away from poetry, and a prose writer whose great project remained unfinished at the time of her death by fire. Letters to Felician came both chronologically and conceptually just before the fork in the road which divides Bach-mann's career, making it an important document for reading her later work. Passionate declarations of love to a male figure, Felician, these fictional letters are also a hymn to the beauty of southern Austria, underlying Bachmann's utopian visions of her later work.
