14 hours and 44 minutes on CD. Sarah Bird authors brilliant, introspective novels of bittersweet reminiscence tempered with humor. The Yokota Officers Club is a tale both courageous and touching--a journey of the heart that speaks volumes of the transient, isolated lifestyle of military families. Having grown up at the Yokota Air Base in Japan, and having moved six times in the last eight years, Bernadette "Bernie" Root and her five siblings are quintessential military brats. It's 1968, and eighteen-year-old Bernie is returning to the regimented life at Kadena Air Base on Okinawa after her first year away at college. Although her attitudes toward the military have changed, Bernie is beginning to realize the intense bonds she shares with her unusual family. ... Read more

Birds can save your soul
Humans can learn much from bird behavior, and this book provides a very entertaining glimpse into the social and biological world of our feathered friends. Whether or not you are a bird watcher, you will enjoy Bob Levy's easy yet intellectual and witty writing style, and you may be very surprised to discover how closely their stories of love, survival, triumph and tragedy parallel the human condition. Levy makes excellent and timely references to insights from legendary bird experts Sibley, Yasakawa, and others to explain the 'why' behind his sometimes puzzling observations. When faced with limited resources, environmental challenges, life- or lifestyle-threatening conflict or other Darwinian forces, the birds' adaptation and response leaves this mere human in awe...

Club George
A wonderful journey through one summer in Central Park in Manhattan, where we meet and learn to love a cast of birds who are residents of the Park.

Birder or not, this is a wonderful read
This is one of the most enjoyable "birder" books I've read in years. The author writes with a delightful sense of humor; if you don't find yourself chuckling over something at least every couple of pages, better check your pulse! Even if you can barely tell the difference between a cardinal and a bluejay, you will enjoy this book; anyone with more than a casual interest in birds will absolutely love it. ... Read more

pretty good
For starters, this book has wonderful colorful pictures.Creating a habitat to encourage birds to visit (and live) in your yard is the overall goal of this book.Plants for hummingbirds, nesting structures, siting your feeder, stocking the stations, and information about bird baths is listed.

U. S. regions with recommended plants and common birds are shown with great detail.It doesn't explain that if you live in the west versus the east and you want to build a bluebird house that the hole size is different.There are other little tidbits that a newcomer will need to be careful of.

Overall, if you want a nice first book about inspiring birds to visit you this may be one you'll want to consider.If you want to spend your money wisely my favorite book on birds is The Backyard Bird Feeder's Bible by Sally Roth.I can't say enough nice things about it.
