The Madagascar Palm (Pachypodium lamerei) is a highly distinctive succulent plant known for its striking, palm-like appearance. Despite its common name, it is not a true palm but belongs to the Dogbane family (Apocynaceae). It is a pachycaul (thick-trunked) stem succulent, meaning its swollen, spiny trunk serves as its main water storage organ.
This exotic plant is native to the dry xerophytic forests of southern and southwestern Madagascar, an island off the southeast coast of Africa.
Its most notable feature is its tall, silvery-gray, thick trunk that is densely covered with sharp, triple-grouped spines. This cigar-shaped, succulent stem is topped with a rosette of long, narrow, glossy green leaves, giving it a unique, tropical palm-tree silhouette. The plant may shed its leaves in winter or during prolonged dry periods (semi-deciduous).
-
Full Sun. This plant craves sunlight. Provide at least 6 hours of direct sun daily.
Low Water Needs. Water deeply when the soil is completely dry during the active growing season (spring and summer). Reduce watering significantly, or withhold it entirely, during its winter dormancy, especially if the leaves drop. Overwatering is the biggest threat.
Very Well-Draining Succulent Mix.
Prefers warm temperatures between 65°F and 85°F (18°C - 29°C). It is not frost-hardy and should be protected from temperatures below 40°F (4°C), which can cause cold damage and leaf drop.

Great photo essay, history of aviation and space
i'm an engineer- worked rocket motors, and various satellite programs. this book was recommended by associate after visiting the museum at Langley. The pics are super, with short descriptions, and moderate on the tech. It's an amazing pulse of this wild history, and mostly is from America's lineage. St. Louis, Mercury, Atlas, and up to current Shuttle. There's also the SST, and unique turn of the century early birds. A fine read to be shared with a youngster (my son 10, digs it), or for the history or engineering buff. amazon has it cheaper than at the museum.

Essential reading for PowerPoint presenters.
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
Cliff shows details how to improve our PowerPoint presentations. He gives concrete and simple steps to transform a message into a targeted presentation. All of us have suffered from presenters who went over their allotted time because they had vital information to give us, yet we still didn't know their main point. Many have seen slide decks burdened with dozens of bullet points. Did the volume of points yield more clarity or did they dull our ability to focus on the message? Probably not. Read Cliff's book. Follow his method and you'll be a more effective presenter.

Useful with some scientific corroboration
Format: Paperback
Worth it as a primer to slide content and how it inter-relates to the delivery when giving a presentation. Very slightly laboured, like most TV documentaries nowadays - you feel they could move a bit faster (...yeah we got it the first time).

Simple and streamlined to meet anyone's needs
Format: Paperback
This book rocks! It provide a simple and structured way to define, develop and deliver a "Kick Ass" presentation that you can project or just use from the podium. It bring the audio and visual together to compliment a story to be shared. It has taken the hassel factor out of designing a presentation for anyone on any subject. Thank you!

Lasting value but degraded presentation
Format: Paperback
I've been a BBP fan since the first edition in 2005. The second edition in 2007 was a significant update and refinement. The latest, 2011 edition, is not worth buying if you already have the second edition -- the information is essentially the same but the 2011 is printed on cheap paper and the contrast between text and background for most of the illustrations is lousy, e.g. black text on a dark grey background, white text on a light grey background. I found it very difficult to read. The online version (O'Reilly Safari Books OnLine) is slightly better because it allows you to magnify the low contrast images which makes them slightly more legible. Thankfully, access to the online version is included with the ink-on-paper book free via a scratch-off, lottery ticket-type insert at the back of the book. If I had to do it again, I'd skip the paper book from Amazon and just purchase electronic access via O'Reilly. This version is more legible and you can print important pages that you might want hard copies of to highlight, mark-up, etc.
