Mark Twain once famously said "there was but one solitary thing about the past worth remembering, and that was the fact that it is past and can't be restored."  Well, over recent years, The British Library, working with Microsoft has embarked on an ambitious programme to digitise its collection of 19th century books.

There are now 65,000  titles available  (that's an incredible 25 million pages) of material ranging from works by famous names such as  Dickens, Trollope and Hardy as well as many forgotten literary gems , all of which can now be printed on demand and purchased right here on Amazon.

Further information on The British Library and its digitisation programme can be found on The British Library website. ... Read more

A Good Start
Although containing good general information, this book is not very detailed.For the most part, I needed more specific information for prairie restorations.However, I did enjoy the discussion on the historyof tallgrass prairie restoration in Iowa.Additionally, thespecies-specific information with additional comments on the native prairiewildflowers and grasses is quite useful and much appreciated.It is thefirst species list I have found that provides information regarding whatwildlife would be attracted to each plant.

Great value for an interested person.
Restoring the Tallgrass Prairie is a great "first" book for a person interested in praire management/restoration.The book is split into two parts.The first part is a guide to restoration.The second part is afield guide for the identification of prairie grasses, plants etc.Irecommend this book because of its content and superior value for this typeof book. ...

Excerpt: The Des Moines metropolitan area, officially known as the Des Moines-West Des Moines Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA), consists of five counties in central Iowa: Polk, Dallas, Warren, Madison, and Guthrie. The 2000 census population of these counties was 481,394, and the 2009 estimated population was 562,906). Two additional counties, Jasper and Marion, are part of the Des Moines-Newton-Pella Combined Statistical Area (CSA). The area encompasses the separate micropolitan areas of Newton (Jasper County) and Pella (Marion County). The total population of the CSA was 550,659 in the 2000 census and 631,845 based on 2009 estimates. The lowest point in the metropolitan area is the Des Moines River, where it passes the northeast corner of Warren County, and the southeast corner of Polk County. Polk County was originally the only county in the Des Moines metropolitan area when the United States Bureau of the Budget (now the United States Office of Management and Budget) began defining metropolitan areas in 1950. Warren County was added in 1973 and Dallas County was added in 1983. Guthrie and Madison counties were added in 2003 after metropolitan areas were redefined. In 2005 the area was renamed the Des Moines-West Des Moines Metropolitan Statistical Area after a special census showed that West Des Moines had topped the 50,000 mark in population. As of the census of 2000, there were 481,394 people, 189,371 households, and 126,177 families resi...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=5781274 ... Read more
