I could go on and on and on about how much I enjoy this book. I love the film unapologetically, and this book is the perfect companion for it. The behind-the-scenes photos and documentaries are fantastic. I cannot wait to buy the Batman V Superman companion in the near future to sit next to this one.

While others have harped about there not being long enough concert clips, we enjoyed the clips and the general flow of this documentary.  If the makers were to show us all the footage of every concert, then there would be no time left for the documentary.  It would merely be a concert DVD.  And if that's what you're looking for, by all means, put up your petitions to the powers that be.

But we loved learning more about the magic band members and seeing how time has ravaged or been good to them.  Their tales of behind-the-scenes goings-on were very interesting.  We also loved finding out where the next interviewee would be perched/lurking/hiding/sipping...

I recommend this DVD to all Beefheart fans and collectors.  It's just fun.

The reading gives way to some awesome photography of these areas in Utah, with some wonderful captures of the Parks in their full color! This book should be introduced of the National parks and Monument stores/visitor centers for sale as a souvenir to Park goers, since the photography is way better than the Average visitor might achieve!  I have purchased a few more to share with other lovers of the Utah Parks this Christmas Season! Thank you to both Authors for a wonderful book to share our experiences with others through a more informed source as well as our own less professional pictures!

Fun and fascinating, this book is filled with wonderful photos and advertisements from another time.  Amazing even that these quintuplets survived let alone go on to have "movie careers!"  Having seen Dionne quint dolls  at the Wenham  Museum as a child, it was great to see the babies come alive in this book!

This is a fun read for both serious film fans and casual cable enthusiasts.  Ms. Garlen really knows her stuff, providing fun tidbits about actors, directors and even canine stars of various film.  The selections cover a wide swath of film history, from the silent films at the beginning of Hollywood through the end of studio era.  In addition to the anecdotes and summaries, the author also provides an interesting glimpse at the evolving role of women in Hollywood as well as recommendations for family viewing.  If you'd like to take your kids beyond the latest banal animated offering in the Redbox, this book and its predecessor have many wonderful suggestions!

As the holidays approach, I always like to switch up my coffee table books (especially if they have been out since last year!). We entertain throughout the holidays, and I like to have new and exciting things to capture a guests interest in quieter moments. This is a great coffee table book that includes large, colorful and inspiring images of the stars, as well as infographics and interesting facts as well. I know that my dad in particular will enjoy paging through this one! He was a big fan of that History Channel show about the on the universe. The images too are really breathtaking and a nice large size! I really enjoy these collectoins that DK puts out!

This documentary by National Geographic is excellent.  The stories are all interesting and you learn a great deal in the process.  Overall great DVD.

I received this book from Ron Lizzi and River Stream Media on October 6, 2015 as a Goodreads Giveaway.  Thank you so much for sharing your work with me.

This book is filed with spectacular photos of special places, and the information passed on is spot on on the parks I am familiar with, so I am trusting the rest.  And there are places I must see - This book could encompass my entire bucket list.  If you have a love of nature, please read this book.  There are many very popular parks listed, but also some small or intimate ones easily overlooked, and the inclusion of John Muir quotes just adds to the appeal.  Ron Lizzi coins a few new words that hit the spot - Awezure , a combination of awe and pleasure, and matterdays, days that are special.  The photos though taken by Ron Lizzi, an amateur photographer, are really terrific, and the park info is up to date, which makes it easy to set up your bucket list trips.

This fun, informative documentary covers the taking of a classic photo in 1958 for Esquire, that had almost every
great Jazz star of the era, from Dizzy Gillespie, to Count Basie to Thelonius Monk, etc etc.

While the film is too short (just under and hour) to go into any great detail, and maybe a little too much time is
spent on various greats 25 years later saying how great everyone else was, there's a sweetness and infectious
enthusiasm that director Bach (no spring chicken herself) brings to this collection of memories of a time and place.

If you have any interest in photography or jazz this is a must.

The pictures alone are stunning! I didn't even read it at first because the pictures were so great! I do love the fact that they were accompanied with some great facts that are not really well known.

Although this was free for Kindle, I was asked to give my unbias review.

The PBS Empires series of Documentaries is among my favorite of all time. Each of the 2-3 hours long titles brings individual episodes of human history to life in an as much as entertaining as educational fashion through original images of locations and objects, re-enactments as well as great original music. I have not seen a PBS Empires title that wasn't great and only regret that they made too few of them over the years. This DVD collections provides access to this great series at a bargain price. Almost 1,000 minutes of great content for less than $70. You almost cannot beat that.

Next to the titles in this collection; I can also recommend the following ones:&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Empires-Martin-Luther/dp/B00078XGPG/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Empires - Martin Luther</a>,<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Empires-The-Kingdom-of-David-The-Saga-of-the-Israelites/dp/B00078XGQA/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Empires - The Kingdom of David - The Saga of the Israelites</a>,<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Empires-Napoleon/dp/B000GG4Y5A/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Empires - Napoleon</a>,<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Empires-Queen-Victoria-s-Empire/dp/B000EOTELI/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Empires: Queen Victoria's Empire</a>,<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Empires-Holy-Warriors-Richard-the-Lionheart-Saladin/dp/B000ADWCX0/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Empires - Holy Warriors: Richard the Lionheart & Saladin</a>,<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Empires-Islam-Empire-of-Faith/dp/B00078XGP6/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Empires - Islam: Empire of Faith</a>; and&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Empires-Peter-Paul-and-the-Christian-Revolution/dp/B00078XGPQ/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Empires - Peter & Paul and the Christian Revolution</a>.

Although I've read a good many of these 'children's books' about whales, this book still had new info and fascinating insights.  The photos were huge and awe-inspiring!

This is a great book to read aloud to children and young readers; the chapters are short and are accompanied by entertaining images.  Seeing Orcas 'spy-hopping' was delightful.

 Two facts that really spoke to me:  (1) 'The history of a whale's life can be found in its ears.' Whales don't clean their ears; stuff they swim through gets stuck in their earwax - thus showing where they have been.

(2)  It is hard to imagine that until 1973 whales were hunted by man! No wonder there are so many whale species that are endangered!

The exceptional photos and entertaining writing-style make this a worthwhile purchase!

Heard Mr. MacGregor on NPR and had to have the book. No disappointment here! The photos and history are satisfying and interesting. I only wish I'd purchased the book as a gift for a friend of mine and that I could have gotten some of my students interested in using it for research.

Wow.

sasek's books are all visually lovely, no doubt about it, however they are also incredibly informative, which i quite appreciate. this book is littered with amazing images and interesting facts. i would definitely say this entry has some of the more whimsical and exotic images present in sasek's books.

on a totally unrelated note, the book smells good too, just like the library books of yore.

and as with all the updated printings of sasek's books, there is a welcome list of "this is the country...today!" at the end of the book with changes listed since the original printing. it is great to see both the way the country WAS as well as the present day differences.

i highly recommend this book if you are interested in either israel, or simply in wonderful illustration.
