You know when there's a full moon, you get really excited and try to take a photo of it? And when you take that photo, it turns out to be less than impressive and incredibly subpar? This book fixes all of that for you. Now, granted, it's not for the average iPhone photographer. This is for dedicated professionals, or even hard-core hobbyists. You definitely need to have at least a passing interest in photography in order to get any benefit from this book at all. It covers an incredible amount of detail for all the special considerations you need to make while photographing the moon. Any photographer interested in science or even night photography would love this book. I especially loved the detail it goes into on the geography of the moon's surface. The different craters and fields, and how to make them pop and detailed in your photos. The moon itself is incredibly stunning and this book tells you how to capture it. I did think that this would be more of a coffee table book with mainly.. Read more

The details about the various bees of Britain are somewhat astounding, and can easily be translated to the bees you'll find in mainland Europe, the United States or anywhere bees collect pollen and nectar. And gardeners will obtain vital clues about the types of flowers and herbs to plant in their gardens, as well as watering spots you can provide, seasonal plantings and other bee-friendly amenities. There are details, too, on the various threats bees face in the wild and, although Vernon encourages people to lend a hand where possible, she acknowledges the cycle of life that doesn't always favor the bees. The photography, too, is amazing. You'll get up close, personal glimpses of bees as they fly, feed and otherwise live their simple bee lives. So, whether you are a budding apiculturists or you simply have a passing interest in the bees buzzing through your garden, The Secret Lives of Garden Bees should be an entertaining and extremely informative read. Good job, Jean Vernon! Read the.. Read more

Lovely, original, and very well explained projects. The book is divided into 3 chapters. Those are sorted according to the time the projects might need to be finished. The stitches used in every projects are basic, such as straight stitch, back stitch, satin stitch, and French knots. There is a section, at the end of the book, where those stitches are clearly explained. All the templates of the projects can be found at the end of the book.

[b]Rating[/b]: 5 out of 5 stars 'The Magic of Terry Pratchett' is described as 'the first full biography of Sir Terry Pratchett ever written' by journalist, comedian and fan Marc Burrows - pretty much the perfect person to undertake this project given Pratchett's pre-Discworld career, and needless to say no biography of the man should ever be guilty of taking itself too seriously. As a fellow Discworld appreciator this is honestly a joy to read, Burrow's discussion of each of the Discworld novels has me itching to jump back in and continue with my quest to finish the series in publication order (as many do after beginning with some of the later installments.) I'm looking forward to purchasing this title upon it's release as it's something I can easily see myself dipping in and out of as a companion to my Discworld reading adventure. A warm, affectionate, funny and thoroughly researched homage to the late great Sir Pterry. I recommend to any Discworld fan, it's most definitely a worthwhile.. Read more
