Customer Review: We bought this book for my son and his family (wife and 2 teens), and read it before wrapping it this Xmas. (I know, that's really cheap, but the times require it!) We were both very impressed with this book and how well-written it is. Pepperberg manages to explain the science of animal... more info
Customer Review: I got this for my cousin (he's 13) and it was a big hit! He got it just before dinner started and he wouldn't eat because he was too busy reading. :) I got the girls book for his younger sister and encouraged them to read each others' books, which they seemed to like the idea of. Lots of things... more info
Customer Review: With nearly eighty reviews at the time I write this, there probably isn't much more stellar insight that I can give, which hasn't already been given so much more eloquently. However, I will add my voice to the growing collection in appreciation for the amazing story and for the brave author. This... more info

Customer Review: I bought this book for my husband, we are interested in birding. It turns out it probably will be better for our grandchild, as a good introduction to bird habitats. It's got everything the other reviewers said. But there are things missing: like, any idea of which birds are which and make which... more info
Customer Review: Krakauer, with his experience of extreme adventures and good understanding of psychology, has done an excellent work of investigation. Methodically, he allows the reader to better understand this tragic story, clearing alongside McCandless of foolishness and irresponsibility suspicions. He... more info
Customer Review: Heart warming account of a man and his dog. Loved the conversations with Merle. For those with dogs you can understand the level of communication that goes on. Only downside is that this is an atypical man/dog relationship in that Merle is allowed (and encouraged) to roam freely through town, etc.... more info
Customer Review: Having watched and enjoyed Survivorman on the Discovery channel for the past 3 years, I was anxious to get this book and it did not disappoint! In the book (as on TV) Les does a great job of presenting survival information for the average person. In many instances he points out that many of the... more info
Customer Review: Don't let this icon become lost. This book is an excellent account of the buffalos history.
Very informative is parts, very disturbing in others.
