Editorial : From School Library Journal
YA-- A wealth of information for serious students. Gormley writes of this group of cetaceans with emotional intensity and, at the same time, scientific detachment. The result is an exciting blend of narrative and natural history giving vivid, even ghastly, descriptions of the orcas as they hunt, feed, and kill; Stephen King's fiction pales in comparison. Through the well-documented text, it becomes quite apparent why the orcas, feared even by white sharks, are also known for their social behavior, their gentler side. Researchers will be pleased with the rich appendix that includes 16 pages of bibliography, plus chapter notes and a detailed list of orca sightings and strandings. Within the body of the book can be found fascinating descriptions and analyses of the orcas' communication system, their sonar system for locating food, and their cooperative hunting behavior.

At least in our imagination.. Some facts will "blow" you away, "In March 1953 there were 53 kilobytes of high-speed random-access memory on planet Earth".
6. Information on what is found where in Texas, and time period.. Some of the stories really took the scenic route to get to the point.
5. It is a manual of our lives.. Excellent book, good companion to his video series. So, any new book can bring something to the practitioners and that's why I bought this book as soon as I came across it. The triumph of the EDC depended almost wholly on the efforts and expertise of utterly dedicated and outstanding electronics specialists like them, not on mathematicians, logicians and generalists like von Neumann or even Turing. This book explains all this to you and gives you a great run down on what is and is not natural healthy whole foods. This book is amazing. Great book! Lots of info to support concepts, but not so much as to lecture, preach, or otherwise bore the heck out of those
