Review title: Bird Behavior and Biology...Great Stuff!! Product review: Though a few years old, this book is a wonderful explanation of everything avian. A mixture of behavior, ecology and physiology, The Lives of Birds integrates these diciplines seamlessly and in an enjoyable way. In his explanations of how various birds are adapted to their environment Short is careful to avoid the tiresome and dopey teleology that passes for wisdom from many nature journalists (for a quick example, see PBS's "Nature").If only my college texts were written so lucidly!

Review title: Needs to find it identity Product review: I have subscribed to Newsweek for four years now and it seems like they are always changing their format. I really enjoyed it under Meachum, the old editor, b/c the stories were in depth and well-written. Additionally, the OP Eds from the staff writers were excellently defended with lots of facts. Under the new editor, Brown, NEWSWEEK has changed from respectful news weekly to a weekly trying to pose as a internet news site; there is a little bit of everything which all totals up to a whole lot of nothing. Recently there was a section filled with recipes. Recipes??? What does that have to do with news? I'm disappointed and will not be renewing. Newsweek needs to get it's act together and get back to well-written news.

Product review: I have seen this movie many times in the past, but this version of the film brings out the best in the movie and completes make your senses delight in the literary masterpiece which is this film. Not only does the story itself intrigue the viewer, but the acting is completely top rate and Gregory Peck alone is remarkable in his role (in my opinion, it was made for him). What makes this version different than the rest, it has to be a combination of the high definition that the blu-ray provides but also on top of this all of the special features that have been provided for the viewer. This movie is jam-packed with so many behind the scenes as well as interesting tidbits that you would have never known about the movie. I highly encourage you to get this version for yourself as it is definitely one to keep for all times!
