This eBook is informative.... It
describes various aspects of carnivorous plants in general and all 6 CP
genera growing in the USA.
The
book is highly interactive, like Internet. The contents are written in
the hyper-text. It is easy to navigate, fun to read, and informative.
Accompanying photos are astounding.
Many pictures in this web site are
captured in this eBook,
Many of the photos are hyper-linked to a super-large image of up to 1200 pixel
dimension to fill your computer monitor. And you do
not have to worry about slow loading via your internet connection.
The
book offers the same dynamic, interactive user-interface as the Internet (written in
hyper text), but no online connection!
You are invited to the natural habitats of cp in the US.
Close to 100 new photos are added for this eBook.
Give me more pics!!!!! OK
Carnivorous Plants World Map is also included.
PC only - Need Internet Explorer
That's all
Captured in one CD-ROM
$19.95 (USD) + Shipping&Handling ($5.95 USA and $8.95 overseas)
My
wish is to someday publish a CP photography book. But a kind of
high quality photo book I am envisioning is very expensive to make....
it is a very expensive and risk-filled undertaking on the part of a
publisher. Especially the subject matter is as narrow as CP.
and when my name is not Ansel Adams.
Difficult to deliver this much color images in a printed book... too
expensive to produce. Digital delivery is perfect for this....
But in
the mean time, we have the Internet. It is a perfect conduit to
deliver "images" and high quality ones at that. Microsoft just
announced the web based software for newspaper, jointly developed by New
York Times. MS is making the system available to other newspapers
as well in the future.
I
have been thinking about the presentation paradigm of the Internet for
sometime... its interactivity, hyper-text, video, and sound. UI is
challenging... When we think of eBook, there are
mainly two ways of packaging the book. One is PDF based book, and
the other is capturing the contents as well as interaction as in the
web.
It will change and evolve...
PDF
seems like mainly for printing...
I
chose the latter....
My book will be updated as
we go along...
Find any mistakes and if I
agree, I will fix it and send you the complimentary updated version.
