Both my wife and I read this interesting little childrens book "Our friend the Sun" and were both impressed. Both of us considered how often we complain about things in life and seemingly often take things for granite. This is a lovely pictorial and inspiration to everyone, be thankful for what you have and recognize that we all need a special type "sun" in our lives to survive. So next time its warm or hot on a summer day , don't complain , relish and enjoy it. Like all of us the sun  has a purpose in our lives. Great bedtime book for children.

I purchased this sun for my exterior condo balcony at my vacation home directly on the beach in PCB, FL.  It looks beautiful and dazzles when the sunlight hits this art work.  This piece is constantly exposed to salt and sand yet looks as beautiful as the day I received it.  Loved  it so well, I purchased the sea turtle and the mermaid this year to go at the same condo and again out in the elements.  Worth every dime I paid for it.  May order the larger sun for my home in Atlanta, GA.  Also this vendor sold a fish bone design sold out on Amazon.  Would love to have it too.  ORDER!  You won't be disappointed but will respond WOW!!!

I have an extensive collection of eclipse books, and this one really stands out in the crowd. For one thing, it's easily the largest-format eclipse book I've seen; I'd call it a coffee-table book. But what is really striking are the beautiful photographs. The reproduction is outstanding, and the large size makes the photos particularly vivid.
I haven't read the text yet, and so I can't comment on it, but the overall impression is that this book is a must-have for anybody interested in the beauty of total solar eclipses.

I have just spent an enchanted couple of hours visiting 'America's Vanishing Landscapes'. Wayne Williams has produced a visual feast and testament to the beauty of Nature. This book contains so many beautiful images, I felt compelled to write and reccomend it to you.
I am lucky enough to live by one of nature's rain forests in the West Indies. Everyday I am filled with awe and wonder by my surroundings. This book makes me feel the same way. What also impressed me too, was his mastery of the craft and it reminded me of Ansel Adams work. They have combined technological mastery of the photographic techniquies available to them; and have produced a vision that not only speaks to the senses, but also to the heart. This is a rare combination and achievement.

David Hamilton has "renewed" his Place in the Sun with this wonderful collection of photographs that inspired many visual artists throughout the 70's and 80's. This book relocates Hamilton back on the Top 20 Lists of International Photographic Artists. His portraits of friends, visual still lifes, and his classic modeling of the nude reminds us of Hamilton's place in our visual influence.

Ian Plant's photos are marvelous. His wildlife shots are amazing and spiritual, in some cases. His landscape shots give one the emotonal feeling of truly wanting to explore the bay. I found the book very compelling, enjoyed the essays by Tom Horton, and hope this book helps preserve the bay.

There is some really gorgeous imagery in this book! It was a good read, and I enjoyed it. The worlds and their history are still sticking with me, and that's a good thing.

My wife and I have been purchasing this calendar for many years. The photos are always interesting, sometime spectacular, showing different weather effects on landscapes from all over the world. Not a large calendar, but still affording ample room (white space) to write notes in the date cells, and  all U.S. holidays are noted, including Christian, Jewish and Muslim religious holidays, and some international holidays (particularly Canadian). The last page contains a complete calendar for the following year, handy for advance planning. Each month has some interesting notes on weather terms and special days, and the dates of the moon phases for the present month are displayed at the side. All in all, an attractive, interesting calendar. Note that, while the name is "Farmer's Almanac," there are no weather PREDICTIONS, just weather-related pictures and general facts.

Excellent read.  Reminded me of I Dreamed of Africa.  Thoroughly enjoyed Circling the Sun.

I am normally not a huge fan of science fiction. I like my novels firmly planted in a world that I can easily visualize. However, I was stunned by the imagery in this book. The author, Mel Snyder, does an incredible job of describing a completely different solar system in a very relatable way. The characters are not "human" in the usual sense of the world, but they are very much real. I really enjoyed this book and would recommend it to sci-fi and non sci-fi fans alike.

I love the 4 drawings for the seasons, which are hard to explain to some students.  The sun and moon pages are great too.  I wish that some of the words less common.  Like papa is a bit boring.
Nice to color

I purchased this book for my Mother as a Christmas gift a few years ago. She loves looking through it, mainly for the photographs. She has described it to me as having a sweet and subtle tone that catches the essence of the Nordic summer. The photographs are beautiful and are works of art. The book reminds my Mother of her own grandmother's garden in west Norway. The book has photos and text about the gardens of Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and Finland, but not Iceland. Well worth having for enthusiasts of gardens.

Thought this would look good in the garden around our pool.  It's really quite beautiful when it's breezy and the sun hits it.  Will probably order another one soon.

I just got into solar observing and I am very impressed by the images that this produced. very visible solar prominences. Much better than mylar filters that show only sunspots. The solar activity is clearly visible and the sun changes appearances very noticeably. Very easy to use and very portable. Meade did a great job!

I enjoyed the beach themed poetry and the beautiful illustrations!  It is a good book to remember summertime at the beach!
