Editorial Review Product Description In 1953, the brilliant but terrifying titan of cinema John Huston summons the young writer Ray Bradbury to Ireland. The apprehensive scribe's quest is to capture on paper the fiercest of all literary beasts -- Moby Dick -- in the form of a workable screenplay so the great director can begin filming. But from the moment he sets foot on Irish soil, the author embarks on an unexpected odyssey. Meet congenial IRA terrorists, tippling men of the cloth impish playwrights, and the boyos at Heeber Finn's pub. In a land where myth is reality, poetry is plentiful, and life's misfortunes are always cause for celebration, Green Shadows, White Whale is the grandest tour of Ireland you'll ever experience -- with the irrepressible Ray Bradbury as your enthusiastic guide.

Not enough for a book
Not his best
The best of both worlds, fact and fiction
Not the best Bradbury, but still worth while.
Great prose. |

Editorial Review Product Description Continuing the nature series that includes The Eyes of Gray Wolf, Condor's Egg and Honeypaw and Lightfoot, Jonathan London's simple, poetic prose captures the tenderness and drama in the life of the endangered sperm whale. Jon Van Zyle's dynamic illustrations reveal the grace and magnificence of these mighty mammals. An informative afterword and a reader's guide are included. Customer Reviews (5)
Wonderful
Avoid for sensitive children
The world of a baby whale The book is full of memorable images: the adult whales protecting the baby from orcas, the mother whale battling a giant squid, and mother and baby simply frolicking in their ocean habitat. Van Zyle's illustrations (most of which stretch across two-page spreads) are superb; Van Zyle is especially adept at capturing the marvelous play of light in the water. "Baby Whale's Journey" is educational, artistically impressive, and emotionally satisfying.

A Poem for Ishi
Voices of the First Americans Theodora Kroeber can be congratulated for this great little book of traditional stories from California's Native Americans. Lessons can be learned, values can be taught, and more importantly, the people who originally inhabited these lands can have their voices heard. This book is appropriate for all age groups, but I would insist also that this book be read to youngsters, who could indubitably benefit from the lessons taught within. Truly a great piece of ethnographic work and literature simultaneously. ... Read more |

list price: US$13.95 Isbn: 0385316593 Average Customer Review: Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France | Japan | |
Editorial Review Product Description "His Knowledge Of These Animals Is Unsurpassed, His Prose Elegant And Moving." -- Edward O. Wilson, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Diversity of Life Sharing his scientific observations in spellbinding detail, Payne brings vividly to life the awesome presence of these great, noble -- and desperately threatened -- creatures. A work of biology, of philosophy, and most certainly of literature, Among Whales is more than a book about whales. It is also a journey of the heart, a journey of discovery about the larger questions of life on earth. "A StoreHouse Of Knowledge Fired By Love." -- The Washington Post Passionate in his love, Roger Payne is also passionate in his outrage at the whalers who slaughter whales for profit and at the pollutants that are destroying our oceans. His words shimmer with truth; his ideas strike powerfully at our consciences. Destined to become a classic, Among Whales is a book of great beauty -- a cautionary tale every one of us who cares about our planet must read. Customer Reviews (8)
Did you like the cetology chapters in Moby Dick?
Among whales.
Touched By Whales Roger Payne is a cetacean scientist - that is to say he studies whales - however that doesn't begin to tell you about what he really does or who he really is.You see, Roger Payne swims up to Right Whales and looks them in the eye.He hangs upside down next to Humpback whales in order to experience their bone shaking songs up close.He spends hundredsd of hours a year on boats watching and recording the movements, behaviors and songs of whales.Best of all, Roger Payne has stories to tell about another world that exists beyond land.He knows and can prove, for example, that Humpback whales sing.Yes sing. Not simply make sounds but create rhythm, patterns and notes in sequences that put some of our greatest composers to shame.He has stories to tell of his encounters with whales that make it abundantly clear that they think, feel and communicate.In short Roger Payne has something to teach us about our relationship to another species on this planet, and we should be listening. But if you're not the sort to read a book just because it would be good for you, read it because Payne is a fine writer whose stories are well told and fascinating, and whose scientific explanations are so clear that even the most scientifically-challenged person can follow.Read it because it will enchant you with its descriptions of whales at play and captivate you with its studies of why whales do what they do.Read it because it will challenge your mind and touch your heart. It's that good.
a great book for an aspirering ceteacean biologist

Pre-Teen Book
Enjoyable & Informational
Big Blue Whale
Perfect science and read-aloud book. The clear, sweet prose makes delivery of the content easy, and the very fine, soft illustrations demand repeated veiwing. My Preschool and Kindergarten ESL students found it highly engaging. If there's a better science and read-aloud book around I'd really like to know about it. TEN stars. Follow this book up with the superb "Is a Blue Whale the Biggest Thing There Is?" by Robert E. Wells. Wells' book uses the whales' size as a starting point for exploring the size of the universe and other very big things (the second step involves putting a hundred blue whales in a really big jar). Read my review of Wells' book if you like.
