Book Description

Whether readers are knowledgeable birders who wish to find out more about photography, or whether they have a photographic background but need to know more about fieldcraft and specialist photography techniques, this book clearly explains how to get fine results using basic 35mm cameras and equipment. Above all, it will increase readers' enjoyment of a uniquely rewarding pastime.

As photographic subjects, wild birds present quite a challenge, mainly because their phenomenal eyesight and (in most cases) acutely cautious nature make them so difficult to approach. However, like any good challenge, bird photography can often be tremendously rewarding, and its popularity is ever increasing. As a result, there is a continual improvement in the standard of work being produced. Far from being just a record of species and behavior, the best bird photographs are genuinely artful images.

The books provides the less experienced photographer with a practical guide to photographing many species of wild birds in a variety of situations, ranging from an ordinary back garden to a remote Scottish island. The author uses a 35mm single-lens reflex camera, and most of the illustrations reflect his preference for natural lighting--although basic flash techniques, which are sometimes indispensable, are also covered. For birders, photographers, nature lovers. For beginner and advanced photographers.

Book Description

Meet Fred Imus, a latter-day Will Rogers with a touch of Yogi Berra, the younger brother and alter ego of Don "the I-Man" Imus, the nationally syndicated and original shock jock of the airwaves. The Fred Book collects Fred's incomparable philosophy of life, irresistible politically incorrect ideology on everything from politics ("Here is the entire Whitewater investigation as far as I can gather: which goober knew about what loan and when?") to running a million-dollar catalog business ("Have a brother on radio"); from advice about how to keep women ("Keep yourself clean") to the Catholic Church ("They really do need more Jews calling the shots on the business side").

For the "Imus in the Morning" radio program's legion of fans and anyone up for a little unvarnished Southwestern wisdom. The Fred Book: Uncut. Uncensored. Unplugged. 100% Fred. Made in the U.S.A.

Customer Reviews:

Disappointing.......2007-04-28

I received this book as a gift from my son who knows I'm a fan of the Imus radio program. The photos are good, but the text is so lame it's pathetic. Is the publisher proud to publish this kind of book? My suggestion to Imus is to stick with radio, as you and your brother can't write a lick.

The Sequel to Dumb and Dumber.......1999-04-29

This annoying attempt to cash in on his brother's undeserved celebrity status can be summed up in one word--DUH! Fred appears to be a nice enough guy--unlike his ego-bloated brother, Don (the radio "personality")--but one can't help wondering how many trees bit the dust for this mess. Bring back the Farmer's Almanac!

It just doesn't work........1999-04-23

Fred's humour just does not come through. On his brother's radio show he is very funny. You don't see it in this book. Why a gifted writer like Mike Lupica would allow his name to be placed on this is beyond me. My guess is he owes Don Imus a favour of some kind, and this is the way he is satisfying the debt.

Save Your Money-----PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!.......1999-02-24

I have been a fan of Imus' since the early 80's. He was extremely amusing until recently and his brother was also a lot of fun. This book isn't. As others have said-it's a blatant money making ripoff that is capitalizing on brother Don. It is short, shameful, poorly written, poorly organized and the worst 20 bucks ever spent. Yuck!

Blatant rip-off.......1998-11-22

I have listened to Imus in the Morning since 1971. Having said that, Imus should be ashamed to have even mentioned this waste of paper on his program, as it is a blatant commercial for his brother's mail order business, and an attempt by his brother to once again trade on the program's popularity. There was not even one amusing comment in this book. Not even the offensive comments were amusing. Lupica will have to write another " War and Peace" to live this one down. I was very disappointed, to say the least, in everyone concerned. If "0" stars were available, I would have used it..

Book Description

Book Description

On March 29, 2002 the Israeli army launched Operation Defensive Shield, the largest military offensive against Palestinian civilians since the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. During the operation, the military used the most advanced weaponry at its disposal: Merkava tanks, Apache attack helicopters and F-15 fighter jets. When the operation ended on April 21, 2002 Israel had destroyed the Palestinian economic and social infrastructure, levelled large swaths of residential area, killed 220 people, injured hundreds more and arrested thousands.

This book documents these events through a collection of electronic witness narratives written by Palestinians who were under attack and by Israeli and international peace activists who witnessed the results of these attacks. Deeply moving and courageous, these narratives offer a uniquely powerful and intimate account of the daily reality for Palestinians who endured Ariel Sharon's military strategy, and the death and destruction that strategy has caused throughout the Occupied Territories.

Most importantly, the witnesses' voices bring to life the aggressive nature of this strategy -- they belie the noble motives ascribed to Sharon and those in his government and military who designed and carried it out. The editors argue that Operation Defensive Shield is a prelude to Israel's ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians. They provide historical context, a chronology, and an analysis of the conflict that situates the horror of these days in their proper perspective.

"Operation Defensive Shield: Witnesses to Israeli War Crimes" is an essential record for those who want to understand what happened in the West Bank in the spring of 2002, and what it portends for the future of the region.

A valuable resource.......2003-09-24

A factual account of the Israeli invasion of the West Bank in 2002. There are many independent sources being quoted here, as well as much valuable public record information that has gone unreported or under-reported in the main stream media, like Germany's arms embargo against Israel in April of 2002. A very valuable resource for anyone that wants to know more about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in general and the invasion of the West Bank by Israeli Defensive Forces in 2002 in particular. This book presents information in a straight-forward fashion and is highly readable. Several accounts by observers seem to contradict themselves, but having checked the sources from organizations such as Human Rights Watch the information is accurate. Recommended - a unique resource in a sea of many books on the subject that lack objectivity.

Book Description

The attacks of September 11, 2001 were accomplished through an amazing orchestration of logistics and personnel. Crossing the Rubicon discovers and identifies key suspects - finding some of them in the highest echelons of American government - by showing how they acted in concert to guarantee that the attacks produced the desired result.

Crossing the Rubicon is unique not only for its case-breaking examination of 9/11, but for the breadth and depth of its world picture - an interdisciplinary analysis of petroleum, geopolitics, narco-traffic, intelligence and militarism - without which 9/11 cannot be understood.

The US manufacturing sector has been mostly replaced by speculation on financial data whose underlying economic reality is a dark secret. Hundreds of billions of dollars in laundered drug money flow through Wall Street each year from opium and coca fields maintained by CIA-sponsored warlords and US-backed covert paramilitary violence. America's global dominance depends on a continually turning mill of guns, drugs, oil and money. Oil and natural gas - the fuels that make economic growth possible - are subsidized by American military force and foreign lending.

In reality, 9/11 and the resulting "War on Terror" are parts of a massive authoritarian response to an emerging economic crisis of unprecedented scale. Peak Oil - the beginning of the end for our industrial civilization - is driving the elites of American power to implement unthinkably draconian measures of repression, warfare and population control. Crossing the Rubicon is more than a story. It is a map of the perilous terrain through which, together and alone, we are all now making our way.

A must read!.......2007-08-05

A timely revelation of facts and events that the lamestream media has conveniently omitted. Much of what we hear in the news makes no sense in the backdrop of what we see from the misleading perpectives of the "right " or left" , but this book explains the process behind much of what is going on. Being aware of the government's role in 9/11as described by Ruppert and watching the constant consolidation of power by the administration enables one to predict with some certainty the future: decreasing oil supplies not meeting population demands, resource wars (the imminent Iranian attack) to maintain our lifestyle, massive population declines as oil-based food production drops dramatically, and the imposition of martial law over an increasingly pacified Congress and "terror-conditioned" population.

Good, yet I'm not totally convinced.......2007-06-28

There is an overwhelming amount of more than just circumstantial evidence here that our goverment aided the 9-11 attacks. As for peak oil being the prime motive, I don't know, if that were the case, wouldn't the world have unraveled even more by now? In any case, it was also entertaining, not your father's conspiracy theory. If Thomas Malthus, Stephen King, Tom Clancy, and Oliver Stone got together to write a book, this would be the result.

Wake up - be alert - question.......2007-06-19

Riveting, provoking and disturbing are the three adjectives for Crossing the Rubicon. It is a page turner, filled with fascinating details about 9/11, the CIA and our government. Surely, for the truth seeker, this book is captivating.

Be alert, sober and a critical thinker. Be willing to question all that you learned...for things are not as they appear...or what we have been indoctrinated to believe.

Read the book.

Excellent analysis of the evidence available .......2007-06-12

This is a well done researched book that taps into the Official 9/11 Commission Report myth. Who was behind 9/11, what prompted it, and what was the purpose and consequences for the US political process. The books delineates in detail the CIA's involvement with the drug trade and arming foreign guerillas to meet their own needs and their involvement with events leading up to 9/11 along with the FBI, Military Industrial Complex, and Wall St. This detective journalism at its best. If you ever wanted to know what and who was REALLY behind 9/11, I highly recommend this book. It is quite extensive with lots of hard factual information. If you are looking for stats like the guy below, this is not for you. Instead, the book acts like a "connect the dots puzzle" that flows consistently throughout the book. I think this will seriously change how you view the US political and governmental system.

There should be a million more books like this on the shelves........2007-06-12

This books absolutely blew me away. I don't even know what else to say.

Ruppert argues his case in the book as if presenting to jury. The only defense to the book's logical conclusion is that Cheney and Co. weren't cross examined; but since the Administration refused at all cost the 9/11 Commission's establishment and their own sworn testimony before it, that's about all the proof we need of their treason.

READ THE BOOK. Read the 9/11 commission report, and then Whiteout (by Cockburn and St. Clair) and every other expose of CIA drug dealing and covert terrorism in alliance with Nazis and neo-Nazis...I mean, neo-conservatives. You'll be convinced, if you can handle it that is.
