Pea coats in the rain
Will rain do any damage to my pea coat? I'm going to Ireland next month and I expect I'll get caught in the rain a time or two. Will the rain do any harm to my pea coat that's labeled "80% wool, 15% polyester, 5% other"?

Best hotel ever
Never been more happy with a hotle.Beautiful place friendly people, best kept secret in panama city.Beach behind the hotel is just beautiful, one of the best looking ive been on.
Great Time At Sunset Inn
We just returned home from a visit at the Sunset Inn and as always it was wonderful. We have stayed at this motel on numerous occasions and have always found it to be clean, a very nice swimming pool and everyone is always so helpful. Penny has always went out of her way to help us get a room and she is so friendly and always remembers you.
Also, this motel is a family motel and very quiet and peaceful and also ideal for young children. We have carried our grandchildren here several times.
Best in PC Beach
4th July weekend was our first stay at the Sunset. It won't be the last! We are going back Labor Day! Wonderful place, clean, friendly mgmt, maids are funny and delightful.... excellent maid service. We've stayed all over Panama City Beach and the Sunset Inn is by far the best place. We made reservations for 8 days but stayed over 3 extra days and Penny managed to get us the rooms for the extra nights even though it was a busy week and they were booked up!!! Can't say enough great things, we just love the place. Great food across the street at the Quarterdeck so you never have to drive anywhere! Chair rental at the Sunset beach is great the guy is friendly and keeps the beach the cleanest around. If your thinking of PC Beach give the Sunset a try you won't be disappointed.
Love the Sunset
The Sunset Inn is a quaint family owned motel- I have been been staying with them for over 15 years! Thanks to Penny & Gus, and their extended family- they make everyone's stay a great experience. I recommend this motel to anyone looking for a wonderful vacation, and it is close to all major attractions. Also, Thanks to Anthony- our beach attendant for many years of dedication! He will have your chair and umbrella waiting on you. Penny & Gus are from Greece, but also reside in PC,Birmingham AL & Chicago. Penny's husband Alex has BBQ restaurant in Birmingham- Gus has family in Chicago. Get them all together at the Sunset and you are in for a lively conversation!
Great Hotel/Condo
We stayed at Sunset during Spring Break for just a couple of nights and were so impressed with how friendly the staff and owners were to us we came back to stay longer just three weeks later! I am 23 years old and you don't find many hotels that treat you with respect for your age. Sunset Inn treated me like an adult with no harassment. I will be returning this summer to stay again. Thanks for a great stay Sunset Inn!!!
Good value at sunset inn
We were at the Sunset Inn last week. Extemely reasonable, convenient and the staff was very accomodating and did an outstanding job of keeping the room clean. We will surely return next year but will get a room in the main building. Pretty noisey in the back annex across the road but then again it was spring break. Great faciility and a good value
Home away from home right on the ocean
We have stayed with Penny and Gus every year for 10 years. A couple of times we have strayed but always left the other hotel and returned to the sunset inn. For a well run, family oriented, quaint inn right on the beach, there is no better place to stay. What a find!!!!! The rooms are like your own home and the staff just like your own family. They remember you from year to year and are always pleasant and helpful. For families traveling with children or couples wanting time alone, the sunset offers the quiet off the beaten path yet right on the ocean you crave. I won't stay anywhere else.
Great time at Sunset Inn
We went to Panama City Beach last March and had such a nice stay at this hotel. The rates were extremely reasonable and the rooms were clean and included a small kitchen area. The owners are very nice and curteous and are willing to help whenever they can. There is a pool on site or the hotel is on the beach. The section of the beach that is on is very clean and quiet. Great for couples and families. Highly recommend!
Nice price-Good Location
For those of you who want a clean, comfortable room just steps from the ocean and 1/4 mile from great entertainment...The Sunset Inn was a "great find" in a sea of overpriced super hotels. It's not super fancy but it's has a nice pool for those of you who don't want to jump into the ocean. Good for a family or older couples to relax without all of the loud noises and teenagers. I think you'll enjoy staying there...
My October 2002 visit
Oct. 15, 2002
We just returned from a 5 day visit to Panama City, Fl where we stayed at the Sunset Inn. It was a pleasant week. The rates were excellent, ($80 per night + tax) considering we had a beachfront room with 1 bedroom, and a queen bed and sofa sleeper in large living room, table/chairs, two TV's w/cable. It also included a spacious bath and kitchette w/full size refrigerator. If you plan to do any 'real cooking' - take your own pots/pans - the ones in the cabinet weren't very good. Don't forget dish soap and paper towels. None are provided.
The staff are very friendly and accomodating. The beds were comfortable and the furnishings were in good condition. There were no 'odd smells' or stains in the room. I think they must have recently installed new carpeting. The pool area is well kept and the pool was nice. We were there in slow season, but there were plenty of lounges and tables/chairs. Nice beach lounges w/unbrellas were for rent for $10/day (low season)
The only problem we experienced were with the door keys. They probably need to put new locks on some of the doors. It required some effort to open the door - we had to wiggle the key and almost force it to work.
We had some rather 'loud' neighbors - about a dozen retirees who would get up very early and eat on the patio right in front of our room EVERY MORNING. I think 6:30 a.m. is a little early to be as loud as these folks were - and it happened each morning we were there. Some people are very inconsiderate.
We would have liked to have been able to open the window early in the morning and enjoy the cool air and ocean sounds, but instead, had to listen too a bunch of people loudly talking. We probably should have reported it to the management.
But, all in all, we had a nice stay and enjoyed the beach immensely. The weather cooperated also. My friend has stayed at the Sunset Inn at least six times and plans to return. This is my first vacation where I stayed in one place for an entire week. If I ever go back to Panama City, I would probably stay at Sunset Inn again also.
Sincerely, An Illinois visitor

When I got onto the beach I was feeling self conscious but eventually got the confidence to go into the water with about a group of 20 of the others. And I am SO glad I did.

Microcystic Adnexal Carcinoma Treatment & Management
- Author: Nektarios I Lountzis, MD; Chief Editor: Dirk M Elston, MD more...
Medical Care
Surgery is the mainstay of treatment. Radiation therapy has also been used with some success as either primary therapy[59] or adjuvant to surgery in approximately 25 cases to date.[60, 26, 61, 62, 63] However, radiation alone often results in recurrence. One case of a lesion of the upper lip received radiation monotherapy with recurrence in 48 months. Reirradiation revealed remission at 15-month follow-up. Only one case report of a sweat gland carcinoma of the lower lip, suspected of being a microcystic adnexal carcinoma (MAC), described success with radiation monotherapy with only a 6-month follow-up period.[64]
Of note, some tumors are also radioresistant,[59] and, as a caveat, radiation exposure is also implicated as a cause of microcystic adnexal carcinoma.[15, 65, 66] In 2 studies, a prior history of radiation exposure was found in 19.5% (14 of 84) to 50% (5 of 10) of patients with microcystic adnexal carcinoma.[3, 32]
Overall, the use of radiation therapy, as either primary or adjuvant, is inconclusive but may have a role in complicated or nonoperable cases. If considered, doses of 66-70 Gy in standard fractionation is typically recommended, extrapolating from the squamous cell head and neck literature, with target volume of the clinically apparent lesion plus 3 cm margins where possible.[62]
Surgical Care
Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) is the current treatment of choice. Clinical margins are difficult to define, and MMS offers an excellent way of following the infiltrating nature of the tumor and tracing perineural involvement. The discrepancy between clinical and histologic extent can be marked, in that the size of the defect after complete tumor removal following MMS can be as much as 4[16] to 6[5] times that of the clinically apparent size. Therefore, standardized, predictable, predetermined surgical margins cannot be used in the treatment of microcystic adnexal carcinoma (MAC).
MMS versus simple excision
In the largest series to date (48 patients), Chiller et al[16] found little difference in the overall recurrence rate between tumors treated with MMS (2.4% per person-year) versus standard surgical excision (1.5% per person-year) at a mean follow-up of 3.2 years. However, MMS exhibited a clear benefit over simple excision in that 30% of tumors treated with simple excision required at least another office visit to clear the patient of histological tumor findings, with 1 patient still not tumor free after 4 simple excisions. This rate was compared with 0% if treated by MMS. A study by Abbate et al[3] reported similar findings (MMS with 0 recurrences out of 4 cases vs excision with 1 recurrence out of 6 cases).
In a large prospective study of patients with microcystic adnexal carcinoma, only one case of recurrence was reported out of 20 (5%) at a 5-year follow-up period after MMS,[42] and a study by Friedman et al[15] with a similar follow-up period had no recurrence in 11 patients treated with MMS. Thomas et al[5] found a 12% recurrence rate with a mean follow up of 3.3 years in their study, similar to the 10.3% recurrence rate and 2-year follow up noted by Snow et al.[67] The overall recurrence rates for MMS range from 0-12%. Local recurrence rates of up to 30-47% have been reported with standard surgical excision. Recurrences have also been noted from 5 months to 30 years after excision; thus, longer follow-up is necessary to fully assess both treatment modalities.
Some have suggested the use of an additional layer after complete clearance of margins with MMS for further histologic control.[8, 68] No outcome data exist on this technique.
Staged excision (slow MMS)
Problems can also be encountered in interpreting frozen sections during MMS, when microscopic invasion can be elusive. Barlow et al[69] proposed that delayed-closure MMS using formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded specimens improves the histologic assessment and decreases the risk of missing a strand of tumor. Some advocate the use of tangential frozen sections with MMS plus formalin-fixed paraffin sections for the final layer, and this is a workable compromise. Moreover, other reports advocate the use of toluidine-blue staining on frozen sections to highlight microcystic adnexal carcinoma extension. Tumor stroma has a pink halo, owing to the presence of mucopolysaccharide and hyaluronic acid, and perineural involvement has a magenta hue, thereby augmenting visualization and clearance with MMS.[47]
Local recurrence is a complication if it is not properly excised. Additionally, because of the deep penetration of the tumor, destruction of underlying tissue (eg, bone, cartilage, muscle) can lead to structural changes and increased morbidity.
Sun avoidance minimizes UV exposure, which may be a predisposing factor.
Long-Term Monitoring
The longest latent period for microcystic adnexal carcinoma (MAC) recurrence following simple excision is 30 years. This particular patient underwent a simple excision for adnexal adenoma in 1953. When he presented again 30 years later, the initial slides were reviewed, and a retrospective diagnosis of microcystic adnexal carcinoma was made. This case illustrates the indolent nature of microcystic adnexal carcinoma and supports the view that simple excision may be not adequate and long-term follow-up care is required.

Aberdeen is hoping a new name and a stronger focus on total return will be a recipe for success for its £8m MM Multi Asset Growth fund which, as of next week, becomes the Aberdeen MM Diversified Alpha fund, a multi-asset portfolio of UCITS funds.
Over the past three years, the MM Multi Asset Growth fund has returned 20.86% versus 26.34% by the LCI Mixed Asset GBP index.
Aidan Kearney and Graham Duce will continue to manage the fund, which can now hold up to 100% in total return funds (previously, it had been able to invest 50% in directional-only funds and 50% in total-return vehicles).
In addition to the name change, the fund's annual management charge has been trimmed from 1.5% to 1.25%.
Kearney chalks the changes up to the growth in absolute return funds (an estimated 71% of European hedge fund managers either manage or are planning to launch UCITS III funds) and the increased choice in the sector:
"The absolute return sector was not in existence when the fund launched three years ago, and there was a small library of funds available in this universe," he said. "But now there is a greater expanse of absolute return funds and a broadening out of the strategies available. With so many already on the market and yet more to follow, a multi-manager approach seems sensible for those intermediaries and investors without the time and skill set to filter down the universe."

50 Arguments for Faith from the Bible, History, Philosophy, and ScienceThere have always been challenges to belief in God as he is revealed in the Bible and each new year seems to add more questions to the doubter's arsenal. In Evidence for God, leading apologists provide compelling arguments that address the most pressing questions of the day about God, science, Jesus, the Bible, and more, including Is Intelligent Design really a credible explanation of the origins
$11.99Theodicy attempts to resolve how a good God and evil world can coexist. The neo-atheist view in this debate has dominated recent bestseller lists through books like The God Delusion (Richard Dawkins), God Is Not Great (Christopher Hitchens), and The End of Faith (Samuel Harris). And their popularity illuminates a changing mental environment wherein people are asking harder questions about divine
An Easy-to-Understand Guide to the ControversyWhat is ID? Why is it controversial? Intelligent design is surrounded by a storm of debate. Proponents and opponents have both sought to have their voices heard above the din. Is it unscientific? Is it a danger to real Christian faith? Is it trying to smuggle God into the classroom? Controversy can create confusion rather than clarity. So here to clear things up is Bill Dembski, one of the
Ashgate Science and Religion SeriesIn Being as Communion philosopher and mathematician William Dembski provides a non-technical overview of his work on information. Dembski attempts to make good on the promise of John Wheeler, Paul Davies, and others that information is poised to replace matter as the primary stuff of reality. With profound implications for theology and metaphysics, Being as Communion develops a relational ontology
Tough-Minded Christianity: Legacy of John Warwick MontgomeryTough Minded Christianity is a collection of essays about the great work of John Warwick Montgomery (1931), a living legend in the field of Christian apologetics who has earned eleven degrees in philosophy, theology, law, and librarianship, debated historic atheists including Madalyn Murray O'Hair, and influenced the work of bestselling authors such as Josh McDowell. Contributors to this volume
Ashgate Science and Religion SeriesFor a thing to be real, it must be able to communicate with other things. If this is so, then the problem of being receives a straightforward resolution: to be is to be in communion. So the fundamental science, indeed the science that needs to underwrite all other sciences, is a theory of communication. Within such a theory of communication the proper object of study becomes not isolated particles
Examining the Role of Naturalism in ScienceThe intellectual and cultural battles now raging over theism and atheism, conservatism and secular progressivism, dualism and monism, realism and antirealism, and transcendent reality versus material reality extend even into the scientific disciplines.

Defending the Science of Intelligent DesignThe debate between proponents of Darwinism and those of Intelligent Design has reached the status of a full-scale public battle.

Following up his award-winning Doubts about Darwin, Thomas
Intellectuals Who Find Darwinism UnconvincingRecent years have seen the rise to prominence of ever more sophisticated philosophical and scientific critiques of the ideas marketed under the name of Darwinism.

As Dembski explains, Darwinism has gathered around itself an

Design inferences can be found in a range of scientific pursuits

But Jesus didn't pray merely as an example to us. For thirty-three years, He lived as a man, tempted in all points like as are we. He prayed because He had to pray. He prayed because He must.

Lawmakers Call for New Pollution Limits
WASHINGTON, D.C., March 15A bipartisan coalition of lawmakers threw down the gauntlet to President Bush today, introducing legislation to cut carbon dioxide pollution. Bush had originally promised to curb the greenhouse gases emitted by power companies, but under pressure from the oil industry he backtracked on that position earlier this week.
Representatives Henry Waxman (D-Calif.) and Sherwood Boehlert (R-N.Y.) announced the introduction of the Clean Smokestacks Act of 2001, while senators Jim Jeffords (R-Vt.), Joe Lieberman (D-Conn.), Susan Collins (R-Maine), and Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) announced the introduction of the Senate companion bill, the Clean Power Act of 2001.
The legislation will go before New Hampshire senator Bob Smith's Environment and Public Works Committee. Smith is sponsoring a pro-pollution bill, and Bush will get someone to introduce his version of a pro-pollution statute. While the committee is dominated by conservatives, Joe Lieberman also sits on it, along with ranking minority member Harry Reid from Nevada. On the Republican side Lincoln Chaffee of Rhode Island is thought to be relatively moderate.
Others supporting the anti-pollution legislation include New York senator Hillary Clinton and New Jersey senator John Corzine.
In addition to calling for stiff reductions in carbon dioxide, the law would mandate cuts in smog, acid rain, sulfur dioxide, and mercury.

Logoinn.com has worked on my project last week. I ordered WordPress website bundle and they created fabulous website in just 5 days. I recommend the customer support of Mr. John Williams and Ron Cooper who worked closely with my project and updated me on every step.
The best part of their service was their packages comes with 100% money back guarantee and their customer support promised to give my money back if i didn't like the work they have created. As expected, the first concept was awesome and i couldn't believe they created my whole WordPress website in just $299 with lots of free plugins, domain and 1 year hosting. I really recommend everyone the Logoinn services. They are great!

Its not, much closer to 45 and we are regular walkers. Nothing to see at all on the way either and crossing roads to get there is a bit of a challenge.
Room is very average but clean, Breakfast was included but very poor. We only stayed due to getting a booking.com 50% saving which made it tolerable

The brain has always been of interest to almost every field of biology dealing with animals due to its role in shaping the outcome of almost any contact between an individual organism, and its environment. One of the simplest, yet often used, proxies for the brain's evolutionary state of development is its size (Striedter 2005). Even though the significance of the overall brain size – or even the size of the main brain parts (depending on the taxon) – and what exactly they tell us about the individual or species intelligence and cleverness is debated (Healy and Rowe 2007; Chittka and Niven 2009), overall brain size is still used (in cases where there is no better substitute) as a proxy of intelligence and cognitive ability (Gibson 2002; Striedter 2005). Even methods estimating brain size indirectly are in use and advancing recently (e.g., Logan and Clutton-Brock 2013; Soul et al. 2013). There are a number of potential variables to analyze and methods to measure those variables regarding brain size, but considering the available reviews on this topic (e.g., Striedter 2005; Deaner et al. 2007; Healy and Rowe 2007; Dechmann and Safi 2009) we do not discuss this topic further.
Energetic constraints, stemming from the fact that the brain tissue is extremely expensive to maintain (Aiello and Wheeler 1995; see also Navaterre et al. 2011; Allen and Kay 2012; Warren and Iglesias 2012; Kotrschal et al. 2012), should impose strong selective pressure against nonadaptive variability and changes. Hence, an increase in brain size can happen only when the benefits of a larger brain outweigh the cost of production and maintenance. For example, selection for increased cognitive ability should favor increased brain size, but only when enough resources can be secured to cover the increased energetic needs without loss in other aspects of fitness. For the same energetic reason as above, the size of a given brain part might be a good indicator of its importance, and reflect the way the given species or population has adapted to its environment and prevailing selective regime (Krebs et al. 1989; de Winter and Oxnard 2001; Gonzalez-Voyer and Kolm 2010).
Enormous variation in brain size – both in absolute and relative terms – has been reported in a number of taxa (e.g., mammals: Harvey et al. 1980; fish: Kotrschal et al. 1998; birds: Day et al. 2005). Our current knowledge about variation in brain size and architecture in the wild is based on two main lines of research. First, on interspecific comparative studies focusing on relationships between brain size and environmental parameters as well as between brain size and behavior and/or life history trait variation (e.g., food hoarding: Garamszegi and Eens 2004a; social complexity: Dunbar and Shultz 2007a,b; environmental complexity: Pollen et al. 2007; parental care type and pair bonding: Gonzalez-Voyer et al. 2009a). Second, on studies of adaptive phenotypic plasticity in brain size (reviewed in: van Praag et al. 2000; Mohammed et al. 2002).
However, to fully understand the evolution of a quantitative trait, one should (i) establish the individual phenotypic variation in the trait in question, (ii) estimate selection acting on the different phenotypes, (iii) estimate the heritability of the trait, and ultimately, (iv) understand its genetic underpinnings. Unfortunately, none of these can be addressed by the above mentioned interspecific comparative evolutionary studies (and obviously not by intrapopulation phenotypic plasticity studies). To achive these goals, intraspecific evolutionary studies are needed accompanied by phenotypic plasticity studies. The aim of the present paper is to bring attention to the importance of applying intraspecific evolutionary approaches to understand brain evolution.
We will first briefly summarize what is known about variation in brain size and architecture (defined as the size of different brain parts in comparison to each other, to the total brain, and to body size) thanks to the interspecific comparative studies and research on adaptive phenotypic plasticity. Second, we introduce the emerging field of intraspecific brain evolution focusing on interpopulation variation in brain size and size of brain parts, as well as on the interpopulation variation in the plasticity of these traits. Finally, we outline future avenues for studies aimed to increase our understanding of brain evolution and factors driving it.

Citizen groups concerned about lack of mention of public access, FOIA
Critics fault FOIA managers
AIIM Recommended Guidelines for E-records Systems
Some open-government advocates are questioning why recent recommendations for electronic document management systems make no specific mention of compliance with the Freedom of Information Act or support for public access to government information.
The guidance document, "Recommended Practice, Analysis, Selection, and Implementation Guidelines Associated with Electronic Document Management Systems," was issued by the Association for Information and Image Management (AIIM), an international authority on enterprise content management.
The new guidelines apply to all systems government agencies and businesses use.
Terry Francke, general counsel for the nonprofit group Californians Aware, said that until procurement recommendations such as the AIIM document explicitly discuss FOIA and public access to information, it will remain difficult to pry information out of government organizations.
"Security is overtly and understandably mentioned," he said. "But it seems to me that unless the bias for disclosure that is expressed in FOIA and its state law equivalents is somehow engineered into these systems, access will, de facto, be a neglected and therefore needlessly and persistently burdened right."
When the government buys electronic records systems, it should require that those systems facilitate public access to information, Francke said.
The government should require software vendors to propose systems that segregate legally confidential information from public records and then make the latter easily searchable by the public, he said.
"It's an issue that might have been addressed had records been electronic at the time that FOIA was first passed [in 1966] but somehow has been bypassed by the evolution of the technology," Francke said.
An AIIM committee composed of representatives from federal, state and local government agencies, and industry drafted the recommendations.
Robert Blatt, chairman of the AIIM committee and president of Electronic Image Designers, a document-management consulting firm, said the document does not attempt to instruct organizations on managing their internal records, permissions or archives. Rather, it provides guidance on the technologies so records managers can make access decisions.
Blatt said organizations can easily comply with FOIA requests if the system is properly configured and implemented.
The document references FOIA indirectly in a section that advises agencies and institutions to determine whether vendors under consideration meet the organization's legality standards, he noted.
"Legality issues that should be considered by legal advisers include information expungement, legal acceptance of records, retention requirements and information redaction. Each of these issues are organization-dependent and should be considered by legal advisers," the AIIM guidelines state.
Blatt said software vendors have already made it easy to separate legally confidential information from public information via standard administrative controls.
"The issue isn't with the [enterprise content management] software, but rather the configuration controls selected and implemented by the organization," he said. "It's not the technology; it's the implementation."
California's chief information officer, Clark Kelso, said the state is beginning to deal with the issue of Web site accessibility. A policy-making committee that oversees California's Web presence has made accessibility one of its priorities, he said.

The Buckeyes And The Big Ten Network
With its inaugural season in 2007-08, the Big Ten Network is providing unprecedented access to an extensive schedule of conference sports events and shows; original programs in academics, the arts and sciences; campus activities; and associated personalities.
Considered to be one of the most successful launches in cable television history, BTN became the first network in cable or satellite television history to reach 30 million subscribers within its first 30 days on the air. BTN is a joint venture between subsidiaries of the Big Ten Conference and Fox Cable Networks.
BTN is on the air 24 hours per day, 365 days a year. The network annually televises more than 350 live events and streams an additional 400+ events. Each year�s schedule is comprised of approximately 40 football games, 105 regular season men�s basketball games, Big Ten Men�s Basketball Tournament games, 55 women�s basketball games, Big Ten Women�s Basketball Tournament games, hundreds of additional Olympic sports events and dozens of Big Ten championship events.
The network is available to an estimated 80 million households, through agreements with more than 300 cable, satellite and telco affiliates in all 50 states and Canada. That includes existing distribution agreements with each of the nation�s 10 largest cable, satellite and telco providers (Comcast, DIRECTV, Dish Network, Time Warner Cable, Cox Communications, Charter Communications, Verizon FiOS, Bright House Networks and AT&T U-Verse).
Customers of DIRECTV and DISH Network have access to the network regardless of where they live, while Verizon and AT&T continue to roll out their FiOS and U-Verse services across the country. The network is available on cable in 19 of the nation�s 20 largest media markets, including New York City, Chicago, Philadelphia, Dallas, San Francisco, Boston, Atlanta, Washington DC, Houston and many more.

Santa Denier Arrested In Kingston, Ontario
As the Christmas-themed floats cruised down the street, a man began shouting, claiming that Santa Claus doesn't exist. Apparently he'd gotten into the Christmas spirits instead of the Christmas spirit, and he was arrested for public intoxication.
Good morning. I'm Linda Wertheimer. Kingston, Ontario held its annual Santa Claus parade this past weekend. But Virginia, we are sad to report a Grinch was in attendance. As the Christmas-themed floats cruised down the street, a man began shouting, claiming that Santa Claus does not exist. Apparently, he had gotten into the Christmas spirits instead of the Christmas spirit. He was arrested for public intoxication. It's MORNING EDITION.

"Wow! … a 10% increase in illustrations, plates now sprinkled with text to point out key features, updated range maps, comprehensive subspecies maps, and other useful new features. This classic guide just keeps evolving and improving. This is the guide you want with your field gear."
-J. V. Remsen, Distinguished Professor and Curator of Birds, Museum of Natural Science, Louisiana State University
"Jon Dunn's masterful field knowledge of North America's birds and Jonathan Alderfer's unparalleled artistic ability and direction shine throughout this up-to-date overhaul of a classic guide.

-Kimball L. Garrett, Ornithology Collections Manager, Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County
"The best birding field guide you can buy…National Geo 6 is now my default go-to guide. It is the design innovations that push this book to the front. You will not find a field guide that gives you better and faster access to the information it contains." –Minneapolis Star Tribune blog
"Shelve all your other field guides for Dunn and Alderfer's brand-new sixth edition, which leaps beyond previous editions, as well as all competition...Study it at home. Carry it afield. It has no peer."
–Daniel Gibson (birding expert), Amazon.com
"This new, sixth edition is by far the best of this splendid guide's incarnations so far. [It] is, simply put, the one book every North American birder needs to have on the shelf. Beginners will find it attractive, easy to use, and portable; intermediate and advanced birders will refer to it again and again with profit--and with surprise at how much it can teach even the most experienced among us." –The ABA Blog
"The 6th edition - thoroughly re-tooled by Jon Dunn and Jonathan Alderfer - contains more new material than any other previously published revision, and it is most impressive…The combination of organization, illustration, and design adds up to a book that should please birders at virtually any level of experience." –Birding e-Bulletin
"It belongs in every birder's library! From beginner to expert, it will be useful to any birder. And for those interested in geographic variation, it is a must." –The Birder's Library
"A must-have volume for birders of all abilities." Dan Tallman's Bird Blog
"This will be one of the most popular field guides in the hands of North American birders…[it is] the most up-to-date field guide on the market." Birdingisfun.com
Reviews of the National Geographic Field Guide to the Birds of North America, Fifth Edition:
"[National Geographic Field Guide to the Birds of North America Fifth Edition] is an awesome work…the most up-to-date field guide out there…birders can do no better than to tuck this book in their cars, backpacks, or bike sacks." –Bird Watcher's Digest
"The must-have resource for birders." –Miami Herald
"Birders rejoice! National Geographic has come through once again." –Booklist, starred review
"Libraries should feather their nests with [this]." –Library Journal
"You could do now better than this thick compendium…" –Chicago Sun Times
"The field reference of choice for serious birders...Beginners and experts alike will flock to this handy field guide." -Amazon.com
"Particularly good in making the difficult identification process easier." -The Star Ledger (Newark)

I am very pleased that the quality is like that of the 1st, 2nd ,3rd and 5th editions and not the mass-market 4th. The print job is better than the 5th edition as well. In particular, there was too much grey where there should have been brown hues in the 5th edition. It is a subtle difference but on some species, it is really obvious. The 6th edition corrects the problem. This edition is about 70 pages longer than the 5th edition. It doesn't include the Birding Hot Spots found in the Exclusive 5th Edition or the Identification tip boxes for difficult identification issues found in the Eastern and Western guides release after the 5th edition. Neither of those features was essential and I think they made the right decision to leave them out.
No guide is perfect and so there are still shortcomings with this one. A few of the poor drawings from recent editions have been replaced but a few (night herons and bitterns page) remain a notch below the rest of the book. There are still no under tail drawings of woodwarblers. The flight drawings are not consistent. It is time to replace the harsh looking eagle on the cover.
On the whole I love this guide and look forward to reading all of the descriptions. It will replace my National Geographic 5th edition in the field.
Never before have I pre-ordered a book of any kind, but when I learned that the 6th edition was coming out, I just had to see how "America's #1 Bird Guide" was going to be made better. I did pre-order my copy from Amazon as soon as I was made aware of it's availability, I had it in my hands November 4th, 4 days after its November 1, 2011, publication date. Today I finished a page by page, bird by bird review of the new edition, and I do believe that the folks at National Geographic have made some nice improvements and kept their field guide the best that exists for North American birders.
I am thrilled with the new guide.
Specifically, the first thing one notices is the new maps. They are excellent, detailed and include much more information now with migration ranges noted (two excellent examples are Baird's Sandpiper and White-rumped Sandpiper), with migration routes shown separately for spring and fall. Along with those changes, they also included subspecies ranges for the species where that might be important to know. It is worth noting that for species that have complicated sub-species maps, there is a section in the back of the book with 41 detailed sub-species maps that are much appreciated.
Furthermore, there are many more range maps for birds that are not regular visitors to North America (Fea's and Bermuda Petrel come to mind), or have very small ranges (Island Scrub Jay for example). These maps show the Asian, Caribbean or Mexican typical ranges for the species in much more detail and indicate how the species might find it's way to the United States. It is a small detail that I really like. There was never a need to just show where the bird was seen in the US, and I am glad the folks creating this guide didn't stick strictly to US maps only this time around, the map flexibility has really allowed a wonderful addition of knowledge that these maps impart.
The next detail users of the 5th edition will notice that is different in the 6th edition is that every species entry is now broken into three distinct parts. They begin with species description, and then have clearly marked sections on VOICE and RANGE. It is the new and more comprehensive details in RANGE that are substantially improved in this edition. Clearly, they had listers in mid as they added the details they did about how often and when species are seen, or have been seen, that is just an excellent improvement, especially for the serious lister.
A third major change for this edition is the addition of field note details along with the bird images. They are insightful and great reminders for the accomplished birder, but wonderful instructional notes for the learning birder. I have always loved these notes in the Kaufmann guide, and the addition of these notes, in my mind does not detract from the wonderful images. I have always hoped that this feature would be added to this guide, and I never would have expected two other changes to make this anything other than my favorite update to the guide, but both the above outweigh this fantastic change to this guide.
A few small things I liked, images of the ducks flying are now WITH the species accounts. They still kept the duck, shorebird and raptor pages showing flying images of the birds for comparison to similar species, but for the ducks I always wanted the flying images with the species, and now that change has been made. The updates to Red-tailed Hawk are nice, not a comprehensive overview, of course, but more information that can be followed up on if one needs to know more. The new images of the sub-species are a nice basic update that was overdue. Finally, very minor, I loved the image of the Yellow Warbler feeding a just fledged Brown-headed Cowbird. How many times I have seen that in the field. Nice touch.
My suggestions for improvement? I have a few.
One, why doesn't any field guide show the ABA Species Code number? It would be easy to add and I would love to know what are code 2, 3, 4 and 5 species without having to add that information to the guide by hand.
Two, I must also admit at after Crossley's ID Guide, I like having the 4 letter codes with the species accounts. I would like to see those codes added to this guide too.
Three, I was disappointed to see Bachman's Warbler and Eskimo Curlew exiled to the Accidental & Extinct Species section (I love the section for accidentals, and found it surprisingly up to date). If this was my guide, I would keep the extinct North American species, Labrador Duck, Eskimo Curlew, Great Auk, Carolina Parakeet & Bachman's Warbler in their taxonomic places within the guide. It is a good way to place them inside the appropriate taxonomy, AND a great reminder of just how precious every species is, and how we need to protect the remaining species we have so we don't add to this list anytime soon.
Finally, of all the images, I thought the Winter Wren image to be terrible and off color. It was the only image I had a completely negative reaction too. The Winter Wrens we get in Chicago look NOTHING like that washed out light image that they have included for this species now that it has been split from Pacific Wren.
But none of these small suggestions should take anything away from how comprehensive and complete this guide is. The maps are worth the price of the book alone, the image accounts and much better with the RANGE notes, and the addition of field mark notes with the images has been done with respect and insight. This is a fantastic update, and every serious birder, or aspiring birder, needs this update for not just their library, BUT to have with them in the field.
While there are many are good bird guides out there, they usually contain pictures and art that don't show the birds from every angle. The information usually isn't that detailed either, or not there at all. I'm sure there are a lot of people who would love to know how to tell the difference between two very similar species like western meadowlarks and eastern meadowlarks.
This book goes way beyond any guide I've ever seen, the information is in-depth and useful, not to mention that they show the top of the bird's wing AND the bottom of it (though unfortunately, this guide doesn't have under-tail pictures...). For some reason, many guides don't show what the bird looks like from the bottom. Which is incredibly silly since many times they flow OVER you and that's all you get to see.
There's been improved migration maps, and new subspecies migration maps, which is incredible. They also have accidental species, which is mind-blowing as well. The beginning of the book teaches you all about how to read and decipher the latin/greek names, the entire anatomy for different species, basic birding identification skills, and more.
I could go on forever about how great this book is, it's like a bird-college text book! I wouldn't settle for any other guide!
