Review:Loved this book!!! Beautifully written. deeply moving, also with hilarious moments that made me laugh...and that's a trick...because I rarely laugh! All of Sy Montgomery's books are just wonderful!!! Read more

Review:A great read, absolutely fascinating and well written as well as backed up by proper research and facts. The author has done a great job and I love how he successfully manages to avoid falling for the typical traps that await someone writing such a book (full on anthropomorphism, for example).

Hats off! Read more

Review:A classic of epidemiology, cataloging the various parasites, bacteria, and viruses that have been unleashed upon humanity by humanity's own invasion of the biosphere. The book is more than two decades old, but aptly tells the story of humanity's fight against infectious agents, the premature and hubristic belief that we had conquered the microbe (coinciding with the conquering of smallpox and the sword of antibiotics) up until around 1995. I'd love to see an update discussing the more recent h... Read more

Review:Quite simply this book should be universally required reading in every 10th grade class. Then ,to reinforce its message, likewise in the college senior year.

The copy I received, to replace my old one, had dried out binding yet was listed as, I believe, like new. or something of the sort. . Read more

Review:This book is such a fantastic history of an incredibly unusual childhood. It does a wonderful job of painting the picture and breaks your heart when you read of the experiences this young girl has. While I don’t know that I’d read it again, I am so glad I read it once! Read more

Review:Loved how lively the family was. I could envision each member of the family and friends. Laughed out loud at the antic of Gerry and his adventures. I will have to say that sometimes the descriptive language was a bit too long. Overall I loved it and would recommend it. Read more

Review:Shipping price > book price LOL

My professor was using a different version, but the material was virtually the same. Its crazy: they change a few works, call it their own "edition" and jack up the prices. Ladies and gentlemen, this is the best 50 cents I ever spent. Read more

Review:This is a fascinating book full of great information about cats. It gives the reader insight into cat psychology and behavior. It describes scientific research into cats over the past several years, and the need for more. The only thing I didn't like about the book was the initial chapters went into great detail on the history of cats and their domestication. Don't put the book down if the history part isn't for you, just breeze on past to the next part on behavior and psychology. This is a... Read more

Review:Totally upgraded my thinking about humans and dogs as partners. I think a lot more of our two dogs as feeling beings now, who have their own thoughts, albeit mostly about food. I've always been a dog lover, but this book taught me how to think like my dogs and engage them on a more mutually beneficial level. They respect us and our position, so we should try and understand them. Read more
