Book Description

This delightful book is one of the first three volumes of Oxford University Press's new Pocket Guide natural history series. The series fills the need for lighter weight guides for those who want to find out about the common organisms they come across during countryside excursions without having the specialist knowledge required to make detailed species identifications. All the books in the series are attractively designed and generously illustrated with plentiful high quality colour line drawings and photographs throughout. The accompanying text is short but informative, with notes on general biology as well as on identification. Small Woodland Creatures covers the commoner 'creepy-crawlies' and their artefacts likely to be encountered on woodland walks - from ants to worms and from galls to woodworm holes. They are arranged by animal group and also by the place they might be found, whether inside fungi or wrapped in leaves. Sections on significant aspects of the animals' biology - parasitism, camouflage, and so forth - are introduced alongside the groups for which they are relevant. A pleasure to dip into, the book will be an invaluable accompaniment for woodland walks at any time of the year.

This book doesn't muster up.......2002-01-24

Nothing said that this book was about Northern European "small woodland creatures". It has little value here in North America, let alone NY State. There are lots of pictures (over 900), but most don't apply. There is no table of contents. The book is truly not a field guide, its hard covered, no easy "thumbing" thru to find certain critters. It is organized haphazardly and its index is primarily in the latin by species and genus. So if you're into European critters and know them by their latin name...this book might be good for you. For the lay person looking for a reference book to take on hikes, etc. FUGGEDABOUDIT!

"I'm so screwed".......2005-06-30

Ever taken a test and tried to cheat?It is caught once and your out right?In this book,they can get caught three times and you fail your entire cell.That's right.The name of the game is cheating. Luckily,almost everyone has some ninjutsu in there arsenal.All except for Naruto.Hurry up and cheat dunce or you'll fail!Hey what's with the last question?

Exam hell.......2005-03-04

Nothing is more Japanese than the written exam. High school students usually don't get graded on daily work, but instead can study all year for a single test that is close to 100% of their grade. If you fail it, then try again next year.

In "Naruto 5," all the genin (jr. ninja) who hope to advance to chunin (journeyman) must sit a written exam. The catch is, each team passes or fails as a team, using their combined score. If Naruto fails, then Sakura and Sasuke go down too. Naruto's only hope is to cheat, but anyone getting caught cheating is immediately failed, along with his team. A great story, showing Naruto's unique psychological strengths in a tense situation.

Of course, Viz does a great job with this book as with all the Naruto series. My only complaint is that the entire series is in black and white, and the colored parts of the series are also rendered in black and white. I wish they would get as close as possible to the Japanese original, including the colored sections.

The Pilgrim President.......2007-08-27

Lincoln was trhe only Pilgrim president, as in the religion and a pilgrim himself. He is famous for his beard with no mustache, the five dollar bill, the penny and freeing tghe slaves. This is his best known book he wrote himself, a collection of quotions divided into chapters. I feel that besides Thomas Jedfferson they are goin g that much backwards from Abe Lincolon into technologial self parodies. The first amendment is pretty much deads, next goes religion then the consitution itself. America lost its sense of humor in the 1990s out of fear of being labeled sexist or racist, namely supposed gothic women and fans of heavy metal music. They come in the hordes and are a dime a dozen. BUT, once you lose your sense of humor about something, more people will laugh AT it. More people are on welfare andf social security than the working class, who losze most of their money to taxes. This book is a must read for followers of the Pilgrim religion.

Big Man, Little Book.......2007-03-08

I was completely disappointed in the size of this book. The city guide of Possum Trot, Kentucky has to be bigger then this. Measuring in at a hefty 3&1/2" tall, its no Abe Lincoln. It was more like something you find in a CrackerJack box!

Great stories.......2006-06-02

Humes book has a lot to offer Lincoln fans: a great many stories and anecdotes that shed a light on the many-facted, unique, and charming personality of our sixteenth president. I sometimes feel that these little story books do a better job of capturing someone's spirit than some of the big, thick biographies. And, at this price (same as a paperback), you can't go wrong.

Lincoln said:.......2004-02-05

Abraham Lincoln showed a talent for sensing the future in the course of economic policy way back in 1863. Lincoln said then: "The money power preys upon the nation in times of peace and conspires against it in times of adversity. It is more despotic than monarchy, more insolent than autocracy, more selfish than bureaucracy."

"I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country. Corporations have been enthroned, an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until the wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the Republic is destroyed," Lincoln said.

Wonderful.......2003-11-21

Lincoln is one of our most loved Presidents and with good reason. He is almost always recognised for his morality and honesty. Too often his intellect is overlooked. Reading this work will definitly provide the reader with a good idea of just how bright he was.

Book Description

Lincoln's words ring with great rigor, clarity, and simplicity when compared to most of today's political utterances. Here we read his witty testimonial for a brand of soap, his sharp commentaries in the "rat hole" letter to a New York firm, his family correspondence to a spendthrift brother, and letters to a bereaved daughter, an angry general, and many humorous and satirical responses to political challenges--as well as those great moments of wisdom in his speeches and letters during the critical times in his career and in America's history.

A Great Thinker - Honest Abe.......2001-09-01

ýFourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth upon this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal...ý if your memory just went into overdrive, bombarded by visions of a tall, lanky gentlemen with distinct, chiseled features that border on freakish and a familiarity about him, when in profile... associated with integrity, cherry trees and the Civil War, then you might be intrigued by this little book from Peter Pauper Press.

A Whig turned Republican, Abraham Lincoln, [born on February 12th, 1809 - buried on May 4th, 1865], became the 16th president of the United States on November 6th, 1860. The beginning of his famed speech, the Gettysburg Address, that Iýve implemented as the introductory sentence for this review, was enunciated on November 19th, 1863 when Lincoln dedicated the Gettysburg battlefield to the Civil War soldiers who had died there.

April 11th, 1865, two days after General Robert E. Lee surrendered to Ulysses S. Grant, indicating the close of the Civil War, Abraham Lincoln addressed the public outside of the White House, indicating that he would support the voting rights of blacks... racist and Southern sympathizer, John Wilkes Booth, was in the audience. On April 14th, 1865, hating everything Lincoln stood for, Booth entered Fordýs Theatre, where the President, accompanied by his family, was watching a play ... he then shot the president in the back of the head, finishing Abraham Lincolnýs strikingly successful existence and completing the first Presidential assassination in our history.

ýWriting, the art of communicating thoughts to the mind through the eye, is the greatest invention of the world. Its utility may be conceived by the reflection that to it we owe everything which distinguishes us from savages. Take it from us, and the Bible, all history, all science, all government, all commerce, and nearly all social intercourse, go with it.ý - Abraham Lincoln

This miniature publication, a lean and compact, emerald-green book, with rectangular [as Lincolnýs features] illustration of Lincolnýs silhouette on the cover jacket, is chock-full of philosophical and enlightening insights from ýHonest Abeý, who was recognized to be one of our historyýs great thinkers. Created in the image of an exclusive gift book, the first page provides its purchaser with a ýForý [insert gift recipient here] encircled by a decorative double border.

A Great Little Nugget.......2000-02-02
