The photographs include captions with good descriptions of what the photo is about, be it a satellite, rockets, shuttles and the Internatinal Space Station (ISS). Most of the photos had copyright markers which were very distracting. I hope they have been removed for the hardcover book.

The book talks aboutInteresting book. I like lighthouses, well actually I love lighthouses. My mom when she was alive would collect ones she been to.
The book talks about some of the most remote lighthouses across the globe. The author would start with a description and history. Then we would see an illustration of the lighthouse. Third we would have a page with a side elevation of the lighthouse, the compass points where to find the lighthouse, a description of its construction, with height and base as well as if it is active or not. Last we see a chart of where the lighthouse is located. This is a rather good book concerning the lighthouses featured in it. A good reason for the 5 stars....more

The story of Dali, in comic book form. I love surrealism, and I am familiar with Dali's artwork, even doing a paper on his 'The Persistence of Memory'The story of Dali, in comic book form. I love surrealism, and I am familiar with Dali's artwork, even doing a paper on his 'The Persistence of Memory', (1931) in college. His early life was a mystery to me and this comic lays out Dali's early years. Kicked out of art school, being famous for his early works, the artists he hung out with, only makes me desire to grow as an artist (myself) at that time in his life.
The artwork in this comic took liberties at showing us what it looks like in his head. I did know he was a bit of a nutcase....more
