ringtone88.com eing the destruction of their home by a land developer. As they search for a safe haven, skirting danger at every turn, we become acquainted with the band and its compelling culture and mythos. Adams has crafted a touching, involving world in the dirt and scrub of the English countryside, complete with its own folk history and language (the book comes with a "lapine" glossary, a guide to rabbitese). As much about freedom, ethics, and human nature as it is about a bunch of bunnies looking for a warm hidey-hole and some mates, Watership Down will continue to make the transition from classroom desk to bedside table for many generations to come. --Paul Hughes

Book Description

A phenomenal worldwide bestseller for over thirty years, Richard Adams's Watership Down is a timeless classic and one of the most beloved novels of all time. Set in England's Downs, a once idyllic rural landscape, this stirring tale of adventure, courage and survival follows a band of very special creatures on their flight from the intrusion of man and the certain destruction of their home. Led by a stouthearted pair of brothers, they journey forth from their native Sandleford Warren through the harrowing trials posed by predators and adversaries, to a mysterious promised land and a more perfect society.

5 out of 5 stars Wonderful Read.......2007-06-22

This is one of my top five favorite books of all time. It's incredibly well written. If you like animals (in this case rabbits), action and captivating characters, you can't go wrong with this book. It's a marvelous tale of family, friendship, loyalty, courage and survival. Some of the descriptions are a bit lengthy for my taste, but otherwise it's spectacular. Also of note, the movie adaptation holds pretty true to the book and is a good alternative for those who have difficulty reading, though there are a few scenes that may be too graphic for very young viewers. However, I ultimately found the book much more satisfying, as it was wonderful creating my own mental images of these adventures. Highly recommended!

5 out of 5 stars Don't let another day go by without reading this book!.......2007-06-09

This book is beautifully written. You forget it is only the written word, because the characters truly come alive. The story involves the rabbits poignant struggle for survival and happiness. Once you start it, you won't be able to put it down. I read this as a teen, and then recently reread it. I loved all the characters. This is one of my favorite fiction books. It is the type of book that you wish it never had to end!

5 out of 5 stars Watership Down Review.......2007-06-06

Author: Richard Adams
Book: Watership Down
Publisher: Scribner; Reprint edition

This 476 page book was a long read but it was worth it with its twists, turns and immense detail. You'll never want to put it down, I know I didn't.
In Watership Down by Richard Adams a bunch of rabbits must make their way through the dangers in their life if they are to survive. They have to find a new home, one where they can live free, happily and with no humans. When they finally do make it to that place there are only male rabbits in there group so now they have to find they females that are held up in the Efrafa bunker like rabbit society without getting killed by both animal and human alike.
My most favorite parts are where Dandelion tells the stories about El-ahrairah rabbit. He was the chief rabbit to begin with in the very beginning of the story. He is their so called "Adam". They stories add a better twist to the book. I love all of the adventures he has. My most favorite story of his would have to be The King's Lettuce. It was a very crafty plan.
I thought that the theme of the story was finding your safe haven in life isn't always the easiest thing to do.
In the book Watership Down by Richard Adams the part that I liked best was the whole book. I wouldn't want Adams to change anything about the book. Maybe add a sequel to it is about it. I don't recommend this to people who don't like reading or animals. This book is a really long one and the main characters are rabbits.

5 out of 5 stars WATERSHIP DOWN.......2007-05-25

WATERSHIP DOWN is a remarkable tale about the subjects of Leadership and Home all set within the world of rabbits. This classic is about how to lead others (a subject familiar to all cultures making this a truly universal story) and, surprisingly, the leader is not the smartest, strongest, swiftest, biggest, or most likeable of the group, but a leader who knows how to unite others, value others' contributions, and make decisions.

A great book that gets better and deeper every time I read it. One of my absolute favorites.

3 out of 5 stars Watership Down.......2007-05-25

Watership Down is a captivating tale about a group of rabbits that have to leave the warren they've known all their lives. When one of the rabbits, Fiver, has a vision they decide to leave the warren. They take a few members of their warren with them on their adventure. On their adventure they go through many obstacles, but telling stories help lift their spirits. The main characters in this story are Fiver, a rabbit who is always paranoid about what is going to happen next, and his brother Hazel who tries to follow Fiver's ideas. When they finally find a new warren they must learn how to find food and shelter.

I would recommend this book for 8th graders and above, who like fantasy. Watership Down is boring in the first few chapters, but if you keep reading it gets interesting

        5 out of 5 stars Anatomy texts just don't come any better than this one. .......2007-04-20

        At UCSD we take Human anatomy in the fall of our second year of medical school. Typically our faculty recommend a different text and I bought that book and used it for our first section, thorax. I wasn't impressed and so I started shopping around for a more student friendly resource. The Gray's Anatomy for Medical Students was just what I was looking for.

        The front cover pulls you in as it sits there on the dining room table; it is just easier to start reading a book that looks like it has good pictures. When you open it up, you aren't disappointed. From the beautiful large illustrations to high quality radiographs, I was consistently satisfied with the attention that had been put into integrating structure with clinical relavance. I loved the color coded sections and the good sized, easy to read print. It is amazing to me how often publishers forget that med students read all the time and our eyes get tired. It is refreshing to pick up a course text and not have to squint to read it. Many of my classmates who had stuck with the faculty recommended text were envious of my beautiful, easy to read Gray's for Med Students.

        On top of these obvious benefits, the text organizes the material in way that facilitates learning. Each section begins with a conceptual over view, the "Big Picture, and then gradually pares down the material by regional anatomy. The surface anatomy part of each section is extremely useful when trying to integrate your anatomy with physical exams and living bodies. Additionally, each section concludes with clinical cases that reinforce and highlight concepts that are essential for real world medicine and surgery.

        The online Student Consult access was just icing on the cake. It was great to be able to search my text book from any computer regardless of if I had my text with me. I also liked being able to print images from the text for writing study notes.

        Overall, I was extremely happy with this text for my medical school anatomy course. I've already been using it to review anatomy for the USMLE Step 1 and I'm looking forward to cracking it open again for a refresher on my surgery rotation this next year. I highly recommend this book!

        3 out of 5 stars Good companion to anatomy, but not stellar. .......2007-01-15

        Dense book with excellent illustrations and good text. Helpful but lacking solid overviews at the beginning of chapters and connections between systems. Also not very helpful index. I would look elsewhere for another text to accompany this one or perhaps a better all-around text.

        5 out of 5 stars Excellent.......2007-01-03

        Written in a logic way, so understanding anatomy is easier and more fun, and it is more than just memorising names. Excellent book when you are learning human anatomy for the first time.

        4 out of 5 stars pretty good.......2006-11-03

        first year med student. Found it overall pretty good - charts for muscles, attachments, ftns and innervations very helpful. Head and Neck section although long was ok but would definitely recommend using a suppliment text for that portion. Definitely will keep it around for a quick reference.

          5 out of 5 stars Perfect !!.......2006-12-22

          I was assigned to teach at the Master Degree class on "Facility Management" subject focusing on Hotel Facility. I have gone through several books regarding hotel design. I think this book is the best of all. Any designer who reads this book back to back will certainly understand the whole concept. It is not only about how to design the hotel as an architecture piece, but the reader will also understand the hospitality business. This book also covers the design and management issues of related topics such as "Restaurant", "Entertainment Venue" in the hotel. It is the 'must have' for all architects who want to design a hotel efficiently. It can also be a good book for anyone who is in the hospitality business and currently in charge of renovating or upgrading the hotel space; or the hotel's representative who need to communicate with architects or interior designer. This book can be the great tool to evaluate the result of the hotel construction project or even to 'correct' it. The tables and formulas for space calculation in this book are easy enough for anyone to understand. This book can Using Fertilizers in the Culture of Christmas Trees

          ringtone88.com night or a week,packed into the only objective consumers' guide to marinas and marine facilities.Rates, Ratings, and Reviews.

          For most boaters cruising is one part fun, one-part adventure, one part stress, one part food and one part character building - a pretty exhilarating and exhausting combination. So, at the end of the day, all you really want to do is tie-up, kick back and relax. If you're away from home waters that often means finding a slip or mooring. But a marina stay can be expensive - sometimes as expensive as a nice hotel room - and a lot harder to leave if it's not what you expected. To choose the "right" marina, you can spend hours on the phone quizzing dockmasters or rely on those little chartlets in the cruising guides or trust the veracity of the marina ads. Or you can turn to the Atlantic Cruising Club's Guides to Marinas - complete with bound-in searchable CD-ROMs. For more than a decade, the Atlantic Cruising Club has been providing highly detailed, objective marina information to the East Coast boating consumer.

          The latest Guide - the Seventh Edition - has now grown to six regional volumes covering Bar Harbor, Maine to Padre Island, Texas - and is being published sequentially over the next eight months. The first regional volume, the Atlantic Cruising Club's Guide to New England Marinas is at the printer and the second regional volume, the Atlantic Cruising Club's Guide to Long Island Sound Marinas, will be released in mid July.

          These are consumers' guides - marina advertising is neither solicited nor accepted and there is no charge to the marinas for inclusion.The new edition has been expanded to an 8 ½" x 11" format to accommodate the addition of both photographs and 50% more information than in the Sixth Edition -- up to 300 facts on each marina. Every facility is now rated on three scales - 1-5 Bells for cruiser services, 1-2 Travelifts for boatyard services and a Sunset for very special places. The "Review" section is comprised of three densely packed paragraphs (Setting, Marina Notes, and Notable), each chock full of even more useful information.

          Marina information covers contact info, marina operations, rates, services, facilities, megayacht services, navigation information, boat supplies (chandleries, propane, ice, CNG, bait), and boatyard capabilities (rates, certifications, specialties, etc.). The very detailed "what's near by" sections cover restaurants (names & price ranges, too), lodgings (rates), recreation (from golf and tennis to swimming and bowling), entertainment (cinemas to museums, tours, and live theater) , provisioning (including the nearest chain supermarkets, gourmet shops, farmers' markets, fishmongers, etc.), general services (from bookstores to hardware stores to full-service laundries), transportation (rental cars, courtesy cars, airports and limos, cabs, bike rentals, water taxis, ferry services, local busses, rail, etc.) and medical services (from 911 to hospitals to massage therapists to vets).

          The Atlantic Cruising Club's Guides to Marinas are delivered in both print and CD-ROM formats (in one package). Each volume includes over 1,500 photographs - one of each marina in the Book, and 4-9 full-color photos of each on the CD-ROM. The easy-to-use CD-ROM allows boaters to search on over 100 fields—location, rates, ratings, reported depths, etc., etc., etc - and it stores in a sturdy clear vinyl sleeve in the back of the book.

          Both the Book and CD-ROM have been designed with easy navigation in mind. A Regional Map shows all 230 marinas covered in the ACC Guide to New England Marinas and 12 sub-region maps locate the marinas in a particular area. On the CD-ROM, the map is in full-color

The story of a group of rabbits on an adventure into unfamiliar yards, farms, and fields made for an imaginative, captivating journey.

          Book Description

          Watership Down was one of this century's best-loved works of imaginative literature. Now Richard Adams returns, to tell us what happened to the rabbits after their defeat of General Woundwort.

          Tales From Watership Down begins with some of the great folk stories well known to all rabbits. Then we listen in as Dandelion, the rabbits' master storyteller, relates the thrilling adventures experienced by Al-ahrairah, the mythical rabbit hero, and his stalwart, Rabscuttle, during the long journey home after their terrible encounter with the Black Rabbit of Inlé (as narrated in Watership Down). Finally, in the principal part of the book, we are told eight enchanting stories about the rabbits of the Down-- Hazel, Fiver, Bigwig, and their companions--including the impact on the warren of the obsessive doe Flyairth, and the appointment of Hyzenthlay as a female Chief Rabbit and partner to Hazel.

          All readers-- the millions who remember Watership Down with the deepest affection, and also those for whom this volume will be their first encounter with the rabbits-- will find these nineteen tales utterly compelling, the fruit of Richard Adam's spellbinding narrative power and ability to conjure up a world that is at the same time both real and unreal.

          1 out of 5 stars I guess Mr. Adams had a mortgage payment due........2006-07-13

          What an awful, shallow, boring money grad. Tales from Watership Down is a pale ghost of the original book. On its own, it is a bad read; next to the original Watership Down, it is a steaming pile of garbage.

          Secret Underground River. Are you kidding me?

          5 out of 5 stars "I love it more than bunnies!" ; ) .......2005-11-03

          I haven't read the first book yet, but since everybody else says this book is worse than the first, gosh, I'm going to love the first book. If there's the one greatest thing in this book I must capitalize upon, it would be Speedwell's Story. If you haven't read the book, and want someone to spoil for you, here are three words: sky-blue horse (Or is that two?) I like the El-Thingummy stories best. You should try this book if you like rabbits. I like rabbits!

        5 out of 5 stars Great book for developing a web based advertising solution........2006-08-30

        Basically what this book is about is creating an advertising solution to fit your web business' needs. Not only does it give you the pro's and con's of different web-based techniques, but gives some nice examples. The book is easy reading with a lot of graphics to reinforce the text and is nicely laid out. I came up a solution for my site in less than a half hour. At the reduce price offered by Amazon, this book was well worth the buy.

        5 out of 5 stars Web Marketing And Online Advertising - New And Improved.......2004-09-02

        Online advertising has become an important part of any company's overall marketing strategy. Only a few years ago the main form of online advertising was the static banner ad. The author, Richard Adams, explains why this old form of web advertising failed and how it has evolved into the interactive, cross platform and multi-media rich marketing that we see on the web today.

        He begins by examining what was wrong with the old style banner ads and why these intrusive ads resulted in banner blindness. Then he discusses how online advertising has improved and the various types of web advertising available today such as multi-media banner designs, HTML email and micro sites.

        Taking a closer look at today's online advertising, he explains all of the new design features including animation, sound, DHTML, Flash, interactive games and video which are designed to grab the viewers attention and compel them to click thru to the website. Then he covers the various software and programming needed to create these multi-media ads. He examines the creation process and the design decisions necessary for a successful advertisement. As with everything on the web, there must be a balance between an advertisement that says WOW and the constraints characteristic to the web such as development costs, bandwidth and other technical limitations of the media.

        The author also discusses the importance of creating online advertisements that reach the correct audience. He explains the various aspects of target marketing such as market research, affiliate programs, smart ads and branded content.

        Adams has compiled a showcase of the best advertisements on the web which demonstrate the ideas presented throughout the book.

        Richard Adams is an educator, speaker, researcher and advertising consultant specializing in interactive media. He lives in Weybridge, Surrey, England.
