Canon quality stands out
The Canon Powershot SX500 IS is a high-qiality digital camera for the casual photographer or budding photojournalist. You get most of the 'bells and whistles' of aDSLR camera, but at a price that anyone can afford, and an operator level that doesn't require a college degree. Picture quality for still shots is excellent, but videos are not as polished as a newer camera can provide. Excellent sound pickup (Be warned, it will pick up operator noise!) for video.

For Us, The Living Readership
1 of 1 found this helpful This is a must-have for serious fans of the Grand Master's works. Through the lens of this story (written circa 1937) we can discern the beginnings of many of Robert A. Heinlein's later iconic classics. Some of the story line may seem static (especially in view of the grand adventure that permeates his later work), but it offers a though-provoking look at the themes Heinlein would flesh out in his popular stories. This novel, his first,(but unpublished until long after his death), was too shocking and outrageous for the Western society of 1937. It would take Heinlein more than two decades to persuade society to listen to his points on love, sex, marriage, religion, politics, technology and the nature of human society itself, and would be accomplished by increments through his many thrilling and involving stories.
A consummate storyteller and humanist, Heinlein saw many factors holding back man from his potential. Here, he has his first attempt at making right some of the wrongs he saw in the world. By the time of his death in 1988, Robert Anson Heinlein had overcome his "bible belt" roots to become acknowledged as a truly free thinker on the evolution of man and society.
I strongly recommend THIS book to anyone interested in the human condition - especially sociologists, social workers, economists, philosophers, and those who just plain want a read that will challenge their preconceptions.

Requiem for a Master
This book is another compilation of Heinlein stories, but also much more than that. While it contains some of his well-known works such as "The Man Who Sold The Moon", it also holds stories that have not seen print in half a century or more. The story "Destination Moon" is a major inclusion, from the screenplay for the classic SF film.
Out of respect for Robert Heinlein, many of the greatest names in SF have also contributed to this book, making it a fantastic read for anyone with at least a passing interest in the great question: "What If?"
While I must admit a great affection and admiration for the works of Heinlein, I believe that virtually everyone would find something to enjoy from this collection, and I recommend it to the thoughtful reader.
