Do you ever wonder what children who are almost too young to
talk really see in the world? "Tell Me, Tell Me, What You See"
answers that question. This book will both charm and create wonder
with children and parents alike.
About the Authors:

nature and learning that he developed while growing up in Montana.
He enjoys traveling, golf and volunteering as a Cub Scout leader.
He lives in Denver, Colorado with his wife, son, three dogs and two
cats. This is his first book.
Paula Welsh-Howard, met Jim Howard while working for the same
employer and was also a bankruptcy paralegal. When she was single
she traveled by herself to Europe and toured Europe for 5 months.

She developed a love of nature and the wilderness while growing up

Since this book was first published in 1994, it has established
itself as the most complete, most reliable, and most-read guide for
those planning to sail across the oceans.
Now in a handy paperback, this second edition is both completely
updated with reference to the ever-changing technology, especially
electronics, and also maintains the clarity of style and
organization that won the first edition so much praise from
professionals and readers alike.
For easy reference, this important handbook is divided into
four parts: The Boat, The Systems and Equipment, The Voyage and In
Port. Included are sections on: building or buying a boat, size
considerations, rig and hull design, cruising multihulls,
construction materials, spars and rigging, deck layout and
equipment, cockpit, below decks, engines, plumbing, electrics and
electronics, sails, and self-steerage systems. Security,
maintenance, health and psychological issues are also covered.
The fifth edition of this sailing standard includes updated charts
and text reflecting changes in regulations and facilities for most
countries and specific ports of entry. New appendices include
procedures for entry to Australia, which are more exacting than
most Pacific landfalls, and an extensive list of information
sources: cruising guidebooks, important general tourist guides,
chart suppliers, and key web sites for the countries covered by
""Landfalls of Paradise"".
