Editorial Reviews

Review

This edition completely revises a 1991 original, updating details to include the first successful U. S. breeding of the Komodo dragon and adding some eye-opening insights on the hardships of travel to the few islands housing the Komodo dragon. The blend of scientific insights and lively travelogue will make this accessible to a large audience; but especially college-level students of natural history. -- Midwest Book Review

More About the Author

Born in Gary, Indiana (before the depression) I grew up in a comfortable, middle class family.

Graduating from the University of Chicago I went on to the Graduate Social Work School of Indiana University. I had a variety of jobs in the field of social work ranging from Probation & Parole Agent to Superintendent of a State Mental Hospital. I now live in Salem, Oregon.

In 1981 I started a business called DIMI PRESS. For seven years I wrote, narrated, and sold relaxation tapes, mostly by direct mail. Then, after selling 20,000 tapes to a catalog company, I began publishing books (which is something I had wanted to do for a long time.) The GUIDE TO RELAXATION album is my last product from those days. (I only have one left so if you want it you'd better hurry).

My first book was FEEL BETTER! LIVE LONGER! RELAX. It is still in print. Since 1988 my wife Mary and I have published about twenty-five books. eight of which I have written. We also have produced some 50 books for other publishers, mostly self-publishers.

Several of my books are not available on Amazon.com and if you are interested in a title that is not with Amazon.com please e-mail me at dickbook@earthlink.

I would like to read your comments (good or bad) about my books.

By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Komodo: The Living Dragon (Paperback)
Dr. Edward J. Maruska states (in the forward of this book) "The Komodo Dragon is one of the most Charismatic of living reptiles." Unfortunately little information is available to the adult layman, like myself, about this interesting being. "Komoto, The Living Dragon" helps nibble away at this absence and offers a well written expose on this large predator. The book is written in very understandable pose and relates many facts for those of us that like a little more than a picture and caption. The Komoto dragon, like many of Earth's creatures, is threatened by man's expansion across the globe. The book chronicles how the Indonesian Government and captive breading programs around the world will help protect this treasure for all of us. "Komoto, The Living Dragon", will help a lot of interested people better understand one of Earth's most amazing creatures.
