  NWD 10 Dust & Bones

  Movie
  

  Rating (1 reviews):

  (5.0/5)

  

  Probably the best mountain bike video production to date

  I've watched a lot of these, and NWD10 is by far the best production I have seen IMO. The video quality, soundtrack sync, editing, and photography is simply amazing. Every NWD gets better, and this one tops them all easily.This is not a documentary or an adventure ride/race video with commentary. It is a balls out blast of the best slope-style, dirt jumping, and downhill of the moment, with some urban riding. Ultimate throw down indeed. The entertainment level is extremely high, and the flow of the movie is unparalleled by any action sports movie I have seen. THANK YOU to everyone who put this movie together. I ride after every viewing. 5/5 abbazaba - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

  A sure fire way to get your children interested in birds!!

  I have been fascinated with birds since I was young. I have 5 children and wanted to pass on this love. They were only slightly interested until I read this book to them. The intermingling of story and fact is just enough to keep even my young ones interested.Peter Rabbit is the main character. He goes around to the various habitats discovering the different birds. He wants especially to know where the nest is, and how many young they have. Jenny Wren is also a main character. She is little Miss-Know-it-All. The fact that she is characterized as somewhat "snooty" helped my kids remember that a good identifier to wrens is their upturned tails.Recently on a bird hike we spotted a cow bird. Our instructor began to explain the cowbirds nesting habits. My children were able to help explain as they had remembered it from The Burgess Bird Book for Children. As an avid birder and a Mom that was a great thrill. A lesson learned and all from a simple... 5/5 mnhmslmom (MN) - See all my reviews This review is from: The Burgess Bird Book for Children (Dover Children's Classics) (Paperback) I have been fascinated with birds since I was young.

  Illustrations are totally missing!

  Even though on the sample page online Burgess refers to the beautiful and accurate illustrations of birds - they are completely missing in this edition! It was hugely disappointing and reveals a lack of understanding about the purpose of the book in the first place. The book was intended to be an introduction to bird identification and lore for children. It is not a simple story book - not at all! Burgess' entertaining and excellent writing, of course, remains.... I have no argument with Burgess - it is simply that half his material was left out of this publication without any notation in the description of the book that the illustrations had been deleted. 2/5 C.

  Full of good information, but a bit dated

  I bought this book as a gift for a neighbor child who enjoys watching birds at the feeder between our houses. When it arrived from Amazon, I skimmed through it, and had mixed feelings. The stories are wonderful to read as an adult but seem a bit dated, and, while still an enjoyable read, may be less than engaging for many children. The illustrations are fairly interpretive and rendered in black and white, so the book doesn't function as any kind of quick reference. But as a learning tool for increasing a child's acquaintance with familiar backyard birds, it's very good. Paired with a good quick-reference field guide or chart, this could make for many happy hours of satisfied bird-watching. 4/5 Kathleen M. O'Neill "Nashville songwriter & i...
