Wonderful real life story that hits close to home!.......1999-07-05
My father gave me this book to read several years ago and it sat in my desk unread. Two years ago, my father passed away, and I just now read the book. How I wish I had read it when he was alive. My thanks to Howard Kohn for writing such a wonderful book, one I wish I had written.

Isolated Neutron Stars: from the Surface to the Interior
Manufacturer: Springer ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 1402059973 |
Product Description
This book collects the contributions presented at the conference Isolated Neutron Stars: From the Surface to the Interior, held in London in April 2006. Forty years after the discovery of radio pulsars it presents an up-to-date description of the new vision of isolated neutron stars that has emerged in recent years with the advance of multi-wavelength observations. The great variety of isolated neutron stars, from pulsars to magnetars, some of them discovered very recently and many of them not detectable in radio wavelengths, is amply covered by descriptions of recent observational results and presentations of the latest theoretical interpretation of these data.

Physics of Neutron Star Interiors (Lecture Notes in Physics)
Manufacturer: Springer ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 3540423400 |
Book Description
Neutron stars are the densest observable bodies in our universe. Born during the gravitational collapse of luminous stars - a birth heralded by spectacular supernova explosions - they open a window on a world where the state of the matter and the strengths of the fields are anything but ordinary. This book is a collection of pedagogical lectures on the theory of neutron stars, and especially their interiors, at the forefront of current research. It addresses graduate students and researchers alike, and should be particularly suitable as a text bridging the gap between standard textbook material and the research literature.

Alaska: A Photographic Journey Through the Last Wilderness
John Pezzenti Manufacturer: Studio ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0670870943 |
Amazon.com
John Pezzenti is an advocate of a photographic technique he calls "roaming nature," which involves studying the rhythms of a particular piece of ground, the ways of its trees and animals, and only then taking pictures. His 25 years of roaming the wilds of Alaska yielded this exquisite book of nature and landscape photographs, with one beautiful image leading to another. Among the highlights, of use to students of ecology and photography, are images of nature in action: caribou migrating across ice fields, an otter plucking a king crab from the sea, two bald eagles fighting over territory.Book Description
Alaska is a photographic portrait of one man's journey into the heart of America's last wilderness. John Pezzenti has a wilderness soul and an artist's temperament. He obsessively seeks out the remotest corners, the most beautiful natural places, and wildlife in its purest state--and then positions himself and waits patiently for the perfect image. He records the flora and fauna and the brilliance of the Alaskan landscape with the highest craftsmanship and artistic purpose to be found in nature photography today. He has accepted the solitude of his pursuit, has withstood injury, and has risked danger to obtain his photographs. He is driven by the fear that civilization and technology will inevitably intrude upon the pristine wilderness and forever alter its compelling beauty. Here, then, is one man's photographic odyssey through the Alaskan wilderness, from the Aleutian Islands, Kodiak, Katmai, and the Kenai Peninsula to the fjords and waterways and the Tongass Forest of the southeast, the Wrangell Mountains, and on to Denali, the Alaskan Yukon, and the Arctic Circle. Along the way he records encounters with brown bears and grizzly bears, golden eagles and bald eagles, sea lions and sea otters, majestic moose, Dahl sheep, and one very disoriented lynx. In his text he also describes some encounters with a few creatures of the human variety. Pezzenti's Alaska is an unforgettable experience.Customer Reviews:
Great Book and Great Photography.......2000-01-11
Truly a journey that touches the heart, mind and spirit........1999-07-30
Five years ago, I walked into a conference room at the World Trade Center in Manhattan. A man stood beside a display of exquisitely breathtaking photographs, protecting them like an anxious parent; listening to every word, every comment, as if there might be some question about the magnificence of his work. That enigma was John Pezzenti, Jr. Those privileged to know him, have experienced the complexities of the man: Passionate, sensitive, wild as Alaska, free as the wind and sometimes, as immovable as the mountains. His life and his photographs have made an indelible impression.
Language seems a truly inadequate means of conveying the experience of John's "ALASKA" book. The photographs seem to have a life of their own. Speaking directly to the heart and soul, they give a glimpse into the spirit of the man who created them. This is a soul that seems to dance somewhere between heaven and earth. A soul that has borne burdens that few of us could shoulder, but one that has known transcendent heights that few will ever reach.
With each page, John's photographs and stories allow us to share his incredible gift, and to see places on this earth that seem closer to heaven. John's spirit is as wild and free as the Alaskan wilderness. Nature seems to recognize a kindred spirit. You will feel certain that he has been granted special permission to view the sacred, and that at times, nature must say "wait, keep that until John gets here." But such honors are not bestowed without tremendous tests of courage and endurance, endless patience, and unquestioning faith. No work of this magnitude is brought to fruition without great sacrifices, and John has made more than his share.
John has the unique talent of capturing the essence of the moment - then combining it with a fragment of his own soul - the result is this spectacular gift he has given to the world. No one can experience "ALASKA: A Photographic Journey..." and not be deeply moved. The superb imagery and heart warming words speak to everyone in a unique way. It will draw you in, touching your heart and soul each time you open its pages to relive the journey. Again and again it will surprise you, revealing something new with each reading.
Thank you, John for sharing your vision. Your book is dearly treasured, and keeps Alaska close to my heart until I return. God Bless, John. We await your next creation.

Dear Smarty: A collection of letters written to Smarty Jones, by Children, Families & Other animals from across America
Manufacturer: Braveheart Press, LLC ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 0976393506 |
Book Description
Fan mail isn't unusual - even when the celebrity in question has four hooves. The great Kelso had a fan club, John Henry still has a loyal following, and surely Secretariat received a letter or two in his time. But when Smarty Jones took the world by storm in 2004, his mailbox overflowed. The underdog horse that nearly won the Triple Crown received more than a million letters in three months. That's five thousand letters every day, many addressed simply to "Smarty Jones, Philadelphia Park." Dozens of these letters from horse lovers, grade-schoolers, animals, and racing fans were selected for Dear Smarty. They're filled with the encouragement we'd all like to hear: "You tried your hardest and you'll always be a champion to me!" This book is a touching, must-have collectible from the Smarty Jones' racing era.Customer Reviews:

Book Description
The Sparks family salty old Peg Sparks, his wife Arn, and their sixteenyearold son Sparkie lived in the Plum Grove Hills in a oneroom cabin. They don't have a lot, but they would not turn a stray hounddog away from their doorand certainly not a stray boy like pale, spindly Didway Hargis, who has run away from his wealthy home in town.The boy from Greenwood, Did Hargis, and the boy from the Plum Grove Hills, Sparkie, become good friends. Did learns to love the life of the hill people as he becomes one of the Sparks family. He and Sparkie sleep in the hayloft, each with a hound-dog for warmth. At night they hunt foxes and possums, and Did learns the difference between the long, slow "trail bark" of the hounds, and the rapid, excited bark that means that the hound has treed a possum. By day the boys work the farm. Did becomes accustomed to the world of Plum Grove, and he comes to love the Sparks family and their neighbors, who are generous and kind. He grows strong, tanned, and happy.
But Did and Sparkie's Appalachian Idyll is interrupted by a feud between the hill folk and a group of townsfolk, led by Did Hargis' father, who comes to take Did home. A gala midnight cornshucking turns into a pitched battle in the Plum Grove hills. The result is fastmoving and exciting reading.

Every Man's Boy Ought To Read This Book!.......2002-01-23
Meanwhile, a feud is brewing between the fox-hunters and the tobacco-growers. The tobacco-growers blame the fox-hunters for letting their hounds run through their tobacco and so they set out poison in the tobacco fields. In retaliation, tobacco barns start going up in flames one by one. Also, Did's dad isn't too happy about his leaving home to live among these "backward hillbillies" and gets the sheriff and town locals after Sparkie's folks. Did wants to stay, and the result is a cornfield fight between the mountain people and the city people. The mountain folk are at the annual corn-shuckin' when trouble breaks out. Did has just found a red ear (and thereby earned a kiss from his girl) when his dad and half the town come over the hill. Corn-stalks, fists, and insults are flying all around that night, but the issue still isn't settled.
There's much more to read about in this warm, moving, fictional account of two boys from different worlds learning how to be men together. The language in the book reminds one of the movie Sergeant York. If this all sounds interesting, believe me, this book is fun, action-packed, and moving. I recommend it to anyone who longs for simpler days and true family values. Hie to the Hunters is a classic.
