Review # 1 was written on 2010-05-18 00:00:00 Lisa Smith Gene Bauer's quietly luscious, simple botanical silk-screen prints are exactly half of what is pleasurable about this book. And oh, the design and production is very nice, big white coated pages with the prints reproduced at maximum size, but as nice a job as ESRI Press did with her work, it's not the weight and beauty of the object that satisfies here. No, it's Gene Bauer's writing, her uncompromising voice, her first-person story of exploration, observation, creation, and activism that makes this book impossible to put down. Her well-thought-out observations convey the same rigor and poetry as the strong, precise shapes in her art. "Visiting the campus before, in November, I had been atracted to a vine covering a ten-foot-high chain-link fence adjacent to the garden. The fence itself, about two-hundred feet long, was protecting a rather unsightly bit of electrical apparatus, and as if rewarding it for that, the vine's lush green foliage blanketed the fence entirely. Sensational salmon-coral flowers from the vine adorned this embrace. The lustrous vine, still covered with flowers when I visited again four months later, was Passiflora jamesonii." This is one for my friend Sarah.

Review # 2 was written on 2013-08-14 00:00:00 Gavin Oviatt This book takes you throughout the life cycle of a kangaroo. I like it because students don't often know much about marsupials or their life cycle. While most kids know that animals come from an egg or a live birth they are unfamiliar with marsupials living in their parents pouch and it is something I think they need to learn. Grade: 2nd- life cycles
