Get outdoors, go climb the mountains, hike in the valleys and forests and take a load off your mind.

No matter where you are in the world you'll savor this one-of-a-kind armchair wildflower hunt and be able to see through their camera's eye the amazing flowers they have found, from the species that are so small you can barely see them, to the ones which are so large that you could trip and fall over them.

Daniel and Kazuya created three different print edition calendars for 2014. The titles are shown below and these are still available through Amazon and other book sellers.2014 Photo Calendar Showing Japan Mountains and Mountain Flowers2014 Photo Calendar - Japan's Flowers, Plants & Trees2014 Photo Calendar - Japan Mountain SceneryThey only created one calendar for 2015. The title is shown below and this title is also still available through Amazon and other book sellers.Japan Outdoor Scenes 2015 CalendarThey also only created one calendar for 2016. The title is shown below and this title too, is available through Amazon and other book sellers.2016 Calendar - Japan Outdoor PhotosThe year 2017 was the final time they created a calendar of photos taken in Japan. That one was entitled 2017 Calendar - Japan Outdoor & Nature Photos. It too is still available for sale through Amazon and other book sellers.The problem with calendars is that they are hung on the wall, written on, abused and finally they are thrown away. This book, therefore, includes all of the photos shown in the above listed six different calendars in a nice book form that can be kept forever so that the photos can be enjoyed again and again without being thrown away at the end of the year. Each photo is shown with a very brief description that explains what it is and where it was taken.You will note that as there are six calendar titles shown above, there should, therefore, be six photos for each month. This is generally the case, but not always. In some cases the authors selected fifteen or twenty of their best photos taken during the year to consider for inclusion in the calendars, but of course a calendar can only include twelve images and they had to make some tough decisions about which photos to include in the calendar and which to set aside for use at a later date. This book includes some of those photos which had to be set aside for use at a later date. When they show you a photo which was not used in a calendar they indicate that it was not used.

A book showing some of the species of Violets which can be found in Eastern Japan. The authors have been photographing Violets for about 11 years and have put together this collection of Violets photos showing what a visitor to the forest and mountains of Eastern Japan can hope to find in the spring of the year. This book lists scientific names (Latin) as well as the Japanese common names (in Katakana).This work shall attempt to show the violets (Viola sp.) which we have identified with enough confidence so that we have been comfortable to add them to our "life list" of violets we have seen. This book does not represent a comprehensive listing of the violets which can be found in eastern Japan, nor is it intended to be a comprehensive guide to identification, it merely shows an interested reader some violets which can be seen without spending a great deal of money. How many species of violets will you find here? Well, there are 103 images, but some of them show different colors, different angles or overview shots of the same species. It seems like there are probably about 70 species, but then again some of you may not count like that because some of the pictured violets are actually subspecies, forms and/or varieties of a species. So, count how you wish, but there are 103 images. There are MANY more than 103 photos though, as in some cases a single image is composed of 4 ? 6 photos.

The author served as a Peace Corps Volunteer (PCV) in the Philippines from 1985 to 1987 as an agro-forestry specialist. This book is a daily journal describing some of the encounters, experiences, trials and tribulations he went through as he became a part of the culture and daily life of a small farming community in Quirino Province.This book is a transcription of his entire journal - he made a journal entry every day while he was gone. In fact the journal begins on the day that he left his home in Fairbanks, Alaska and ends when he arrived back home in Fairbanks. Because it's a journal, it is written in the first person, there is an abundance of "I did..." and "we did...".Every entry is dated and the expenses for each day are also recorded. Parts of it may be extremely boring and even mundane to you, the reader, but everything that is recorded here was significant in the specific day of life for the volunteer as he did his best to accomplish something that would have a lasting impact on the lives of the local people.The author was older than the average PCV and as such, he had ideas that were a bit different than them, for example, he bought his own water buffalo and set up a large demonstration farm to show the benefits of contour plowing and farming, something which many local people said was impossible for a water buffalo to accomplish. By the time he completed his service, however, every farmer in his small community was doing contour farming, so apparently it was not impossible.This book is recommended for any person who has a dream of becoming, or has been a PCV. If you're one who wants to serve, this book will show you exactly what you might expect to have happen to you at some point in your service as you go through the stages of culture shock, acculturation, acceptance into your community and more. If you're a returned PCV (RPCV) this book will make you recall some of your own trials and tribulations and probably make you laugh about them.Note that this book speaks briefly of some gay sexual encounters. There are, however, no long and drawn out descriptions of these encounters, no graphic sex.
