Product Description
Webster's bibliographic and event-based timelines are comprehensive in scope, covering virtually all topics, geographic locations and people. They do so from a linguistic point of view, and in the case of this book, the focus is on "Oklahoma," including when used in literature (e.g. all authors that might have Oklahoma in their name). As such, this book represents the largest compilation of timeline events associated with Oklahoma when it is used in proper noun form. Webster's timelines cover bibliographic citations, patented inventions, as well as non-conventional and alternative meanings which capture ambiguities in usage. These furthermore cover all parts of speech (possessive, institutional usage, geographic usage) and contexts, including pop culture, the arts, social sciences (linguistics, history, geography, economics, sociology, political science), business, computer science, literature, law, medicine, psychology, mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology and other physical sciences. This "data dump" results in a comprehensive set of entries for a bibliographic and/or event-based timeline on the proper name Oklahoma, since editorial decisions to include or exclude events is purely a linguistic process. The resulting entries are used under license or with permission, used under "fair use" conditions, used in agreement with the original authors, or are in the public domain. ... Read more

Deserts are Cool
This book seems to have everything there is about deserts. I learned that deserts have lions, penguins, kangaroos, many spiders, scorpions and other animals, even fish and frogs. There are also many plants, with strangethings like cactus and boojum trees. Even elephants live in the desert. Ithink the book is like an exploring trip from one desert to the other. Iwish it had more pictures but it is easy to understand and has great maps.The book helped me write a report on deserts. I got an A. I would like tovisit a desert to see what it is like to live there. I never knew desertswould be so interesting. They are too cool.

Best for the Novice
The strength of this book is the number of topics it covers. Its main weakness, though, is the same. By including so many topics, the reader actually learns very little. Even a child doing a class paper on a subjectin this book would have to draw upon other resources. The book is bestsuited for people who have little or no knowledge of deserts.Unfortunately, that means kids. But most kids would never pick this book upsince there isn't one colored photograph in the book. Even the black andwhite photos are not the greatest quality. For its size and price, the bookwas a disappointment. But then, I live in the desert so maybe I was hopingfor something a bit more useful and informative.
