I Liked This Book
P.S. From before - I am eleven and found this book great! It also had some hard terms. No way is this a book for 4-8 year olds! More like 6-13 year olds! :)

I Liked This Book
I read this book really fast because it was so good - you know like when you can't put it down? well, it was that good. it helped me a lot on my non-fiction summer reading. i also liked how there was a story you could relate to about saving sea lions and putting them into a rescue program. Sea Lion had great pictures and I really got a great amount of information from this book. I mean, who knew there were only 5 types of Sea Lions and only 35 species in the Pinnipedia family (the family sea lions belong to)??? Well, now you know and I know! YAY!!! Anyway, who knew that there were eared and earless seals??? And that the female only has one pup each birth??? Well, now you know some more!!! So click the mouse and buy this book and you can find out a little bit more about these great animals. I LOVE SEA LIONS!!! :) LOL

GREAT BOOK
I liked this book a lot. It had good pictures, pretty easy terms, and really cool fun facts about sea lions. Plus, in the beginning it started out with a little story about rescuing sea lions at the Marine Mammal Orginization. It was a great book. I think everyone should buy this book. You should too! I loved this book. My sister read it for 6th grade summer reading and it was a great report. :)

Product Description
Three U.S. officers -- one from the Air Force, one from the Army, and one from the Navy -- met at the Joint Forces Staff College to argue that a truly "joint" approach could have produced success for Hitler in Operation Sea Lion, the proposed invasion of England in 1940.

Military history contains many lessons from which the warfighting doctrine of the individual services, as well as joint doctrine, is derived. World War II stands as one of the major contributors of valuable lessons learned. From a joint and combined warfighting perspective, Germany's planning and preparatory military actions to the invasion of Great Britain after the fall of Franceare instructive. Their plan, called Operation SEA LION by the Germans, was never carried out, as certain prerequisite conditions were never achieved, and Hitler elected to move on to other operations. But Germany could have been successful in invading and, if necessary, occupying Great Britain had they exercised joint and combined operations to achieve better unity of effort within the German military, remained focused on key British operational centers of gravity, and exploited the capabilities of friendly nations such as Spain, Italy, and the Vichy government of France.

Deacon Pratt knew the characters of the seamen of the island too well, to trifle in a matter of so much moment.

Excellent combination of reference work and guide book
I like this book book very much for its completeness (at least at the species level, but subspecies are discussed in the text), the combination of drawings and photographs, and the extensive information. In my opinion, drawings are much more useful for identification than photographs, and are therefore a must in a field guide, but it helps a lot when this is complemented with a few good photographs. Detailed distribution maps as well as information on behavior are very helpful in the identification process. Because of the extensive information, the book is an identification guide and a reference book at the same time. Despite the number of pages, the size is still sufficiciently practical for a field guide. ... Read more
