Review from a shopper who 'Loved it'
From: Posted: Jul 12, 2007 Type: User Review Important and Alarming Book

What would happen if humans suddenly disappeared? Almost everything around us artificially created would be consumed by nature within a few hundred years of our disappearance. Buildings would collapse; road and dams would disintegrate. Some...

Review from a shopper who 'Hated it'
From: Posted: Oct 01, 2007 Type: User Review WORLD WITHOUT FOCUS

While this is undoubtedly an intriguing premise, the authors drive readers away in droves by incessantly listing example after example of every conceivable tree, bush, weed, bird, or other creature that currently inhabits a region, is endangered,...

Review from a shopper who was 'On the Fence'
From: Posted: Jul 26, 2007 Type: User Review A Important Book...That Could Have Been Clearer

This book examines what would happen to the world if we were all to suddenly disappear from it...ie: how long would it take for the world to get back to normal (or at least back to how it was) before us. It uncovers this by looking at regions of...

Review from a shopper who 'Loved it'
From: Posted: Dec 19, 2005 Type: User Review MY BEST READ OF 2005

Beyond a doubt, this was the best of the books I read during this past year. Having had many family members who were caught up in this, one of the worst natural (actually it seems it was more man made than natural) disasters to strike our...

Review from a shopper who 'Hated it'
From: Posted: Jan 07, 2006 Type: User Review Drought & Depression Brought On the Dust Bowl.

This account of one of the worst environmental disasters to hit this country, next to the "Andrea Gail' in 1938 is well done but a little dull. Since I was not born before it happened, what I thought was interesting apparently was not what the...

Review from a shopper who was 'On the Fence'
From: Posted: Jan 08, 2006 Type: User Review Dry as dust

Timothy Egan's "The Worst Hard Time" proffers a look at the Dust Bowl from a slightly different perspective than most Americans are familiar...he tells it from the inside out. This is not a book about the Okies who packed up and moved west. "The...

Review from a shopper who 'Loved it'
From: Posted: Jan 07, 1999 Type: User Review Hands down - the best world atlas

As a map junkie all my life, this is the one I go to when I need a fix. Others may have a better feature here and there, but for overall cartographic satisfaction, detail, and tons of data, you can't beat National Geographic's.

Review from a shopper who 'Hated it'
From: Posted: Sep 02, 2001 Type: User Review dollar for dollar not the best atlas

I found the quality, accuracy, and ease of this atlas underwhelming for the price. It's the most expensive atlas out there, but has nothing on Hammond, Oxford, or Goode's--all of which are half the price. Don't be fooled by the big marketing...

I ordered an atlas for a friend for Christmas and I was sent a 1963 atlas for ($). Not really a solid value considering it's almost half a century out of date!

It is beautiful however and the service was fantastic. It's just not what I was...

Review from a shopper who 'Loved it'
From: Posted: Feb 06, 2007 Type: User Review Good overview of the flip side of the argument

As this book shows, the debate over global warming is not as one-sided as the media would have you believe. The authors do a great job showing that there is great debate on whether it even exists and the problems they have telling this version. As...

I have found reading this text to be an awful lot of fun. Does that sound strange? Learning how the physical features and materials of the Earth came to be has always been fascinating to me. Part of it is because of the vast amounts of time...
