The Easiest Way to Learn Na'vi--EVER: Volume 1 of 8 ReviewWhat a great way to learn Na'vi FAST! And have fun at the same time. And fun is the operative word in learning Na'vi the EASY way.
Let me explain. As a former English and foreign language teacher, I have a background in linguistics and second-language acquisition. A basic concept in acquiring another language is that your state of mind when you are learning it affects the ease and speed with which you pick it up. The operative term in this concept is the "affective filter." The affective filter is akin to a sentry in your brain who snaps to attention and tries to block access to the language-aquisition portion of your brain when you're learning a second language. The interesting thing is that your state of mind controls the behavior of this barrier. The more relaxed you are, the more fun you're having, the more interesting the learning situation is, etc., the more easily you will acquire the new language. In other words, fun translates into lowering your affective filter and allowing your brain to latch onto the new material.
There are other concepts about learning a foreign language that I won't go into here, but White's approach is like the perfect example of the best way in all areas to enlarge you bilingual abilities. From the beautiful, colorful book cover, to the witty, humorous commentary, to the instructions on how to use the workbook, to the variety of intriguing puzzles, etc., White has covered all the bases in making these exercises delightful, easy, and effective. His suggestions on how to use the flash cards and his advice to work through the book three times are both right on target for allowing you to pick up Na'vi FAST.
Add all that to the give-away deal you get with this book, and WOW! That alone will put you in such a positive frame of mind that your affective filter will be high tailing it out of town every time you pick up this book. And you will soon be able to communicate with your fellow Na'vi fans as effortlessly as you use your native tongue. You can't beat a deal like that.
Is there a rating higher than five stars?

The Sciences of Avatar ReviewDorion Sagan's latest book is a masterpiece. A refreshing, written with very high integrity, balanced and highly interesting study from various angles of Cameron's breakthrough movie. A highly recommended and these days so rare jewel of a book.The Sciences of Avatar OverviewDoes life exist on Mars or in the Alpha Centauri star system? Is it possible to project ourselves into others' bodies? Can mountains float? Award-winning writer Dorion Sagan encyclopedically explores a potpourri of subjects-from "Machine Evolution" and “Out of Body Experiences" to “Panspermia" and "Xenology" in this unique book. The Sciences of Avatar takes a look at our world through the disciplines-not just materialistic science, but “Ideology," “Parapsychology," “Feminism," "Ethnobotany," and more-at work in what is presently the most popular science fiction movie of all time, James Cameron's Avatar. “I loved your book!" -Melissa Jane Ostrom"Sagan provides a delightful overview of the real science that connects with the story of Avatar, and allows us a further exploration of the magical, compelling world of Pandora. A witty, insightful, and enlightening book!" - Kathryn Denning, PhD, Associate Professor, Anthropology, York UniversityDorion Sagan is co-author or author of twenty-four books translated into eleven languages, including Microcosmos and Death and Sex, a two-in-one book whose unique design won it first place in the 2010 New York Book Show in the general trade nonfiction category.

What is Life? was listed with works by Billie Holiday and William Shakespeare as one of 100 “Mind-Altering Masterpieces" by the editors of The Utne Reader. He presently divides his time between Amherst, Massachusetts and Toronto, Canada.Praise for Dorion Sagan's other books:Microcosmos (with Lynn Margulis)“A seminal book" - Ben Bova. “This admiring reader of Lewis Thomas, Carl Sagan, Stephen Jay Gould and other popularizers of biology has rarely, if ever, encountered so luminous a prose style in a work of this kind." - Melvin Konner, The New York Times Book ReviewWhat is Life?

James Cameron's Avatar:: things you might not know about Avatar, the film by James Cameron ReviewI was looking through the various books on the movie Avatar since the DVD and Blu-Ray versions are coming out shortly. I had intended to have a sample sent to my kindle, but due to large fingers on my iPad I accidentally purchased the book. Since I had bought the book, I decided to start reading it. To my surprise, it took me approximately six minutes to read the whole thing. There were some interesting facts in here, but I'd estimate 95 cents worth of content. I wouldn't recommend purchasing this "book."James Cameron's Avatar:: things you might not know about Avatar, the film by James Cameron OverviewAvatar fans!

The Ultimate Fan's Guide to Avatar, James Cameron's epic movie (Unauthorized) Review
I have very mixed feelings about this book.
Some of it was very interesting, particularly the material about the backstory and the scenes left out or changed from the script. Some was moderately interesting but could probably have been reduced significantly, such as the material about Joseph Campbell's Hero's Journey and how it relates to this movie, comparison with Cameron's earlier movies, and the history of SF in general. And some that might have been of interest was left out altogether. I'm surprised the author didn't seem to notice the similarities between the banshees and Anne McCaffrey's Pern dragons. Another item I missed was how the hunter-gatherer Na'vi reacted to the humans' cultivation of their flora.
One thing I found really irritating was the focus on sex. I suppose there ARE hidden sexual connotations. But this young buck of an author had to have had his imagination directed by his hormones to have spent as much time on them and to have noticed all the things he did. Personally, I don't see why the neural connection between the Na'vi and their animals must be regarded as orgasm or bordering on bestiality. They had connections with their Mother Tree and their Tree of Voices, didn't they? As Grace says, all of Pandora is part of a network. Period.
The writing could have done with more editing. There are clear grammatical errors scattered throughout. Paragraphs seem to run on and on for pages and pages. I finally realized part of that is because of the formatting of the Kindle edition -- paragraph breaks tend to get omitted. However, I think in many places the author does run his paragraphs together.
Overall, I'd say the book was of some use, but was rather wearisome to read.The Ultimate Fan's Guide to Avatar, James Cameron's epic movie (Unauthorized) OverviewAvatar is the most successful movie of all time, surpassing the record held by James Cameron's previous monster hit, Titanic. It is also the most expensive movie ever. With its adoption of modern 3D techniques, Avatar is arguably the most spectacular film of all time. Kevin Patrick Mahoney explores how Avatar has reached this pinnacle of success. The film has not been universally praised; some critics have pointed to an overly simple plot and dialogue. However, Kevin reveals that there are many complex themes that lie behind such apparent simplicity. This book begins with a thorough review of events as they happen on screen, including the many scenes deleted from the film, and then proceeds to explore some of the most interesting themes in more depth. Kevin examines how James Cameron has adapted Joseph Campbell's theory of the Hero's Journey in Avatar. The Na'vi's planet, Pandora, is very paradisiacal, so this book discusses how it's related to the Biblical Garden of Eden. In addition to this, Kevin dissects Avatar's rather confused politics, the controversial depiction of the US Marine Corps, and the accusations of racism that have been hurled at the film. Since Jake Sully is introduced to us in a wheelchair, Kevin examines the representation of disabled people in Avatar and other science fiction dramas. Some of Avatar's subtle depictions of sexuality seemed to be mainly directed at adolescent boys, so this book also dissects some of the more 'blue' aspects of the movie. Moreover, Kevin Patrick Mahoney reveals how Avatar relates to James Cameron's previous blockbuster movies.

James Cameron's Avatar: The Movie Scrapbook ReviewSo far there are two books out there for Avatar that give details on the world of Pandora. Avatar: A Confidential Report on the Biological and Social History of Pandora (James Cameron's Avatar) and this one. The first is loaded with scientific theory and jargon, and while that's great for the people who are interested in knowing the super technical stuff Avatar: The Movie Scrapbook is also a great resource for those who want to know more yet not enough to write a science journal on the movie. The scrapbook is essentially a light technical manual that covers a lot of the animals, plants, and vehicles seen in Avatar along with details on the Na'vi and their culture.
The pros of this book as opposed to the survival guide come firstly in the easy to read information of the world of Pandora. It's the kind of writing that is easy enough for grade schoolers to read while at the same time not too simple the young adult reader can't appreciate it. Granted your high school student may find the writing simplistic, but that is made up with the second pro: the information. The book has dozens of entries on various subjects from the movie from the gunships and gear the humans used to the musical instruments used by the Na'vi. It seems to cover much of the info in the survival guide (almost in the same order as well), but condenses the details into simple descriptions. Keep in mind it's basic details. If you want a true technical manual then you should go for the survival guide. Interestingly enough there are a few entries in this Scrapbook that aren't touched on in the survival guide like the giant excavator, the tree of voices and woodsprites (those little floating seed things that seem to be omens for the Na'vi).
While the survival guide has more detailed information it lacks something this book has in spades. Large detailed images. The Movie Scrapbook is actually a larger sized book than the survival guide (about twice the size in fact), even though it's thinner in pages (1/4 the thickness of the guide). In that larger size you get bigger, more detailed pictures. While you will find a few pictures in both books the scrapbook touts some really nice images not seen in the survival guide, or even the movie for that matter. The larger size of the scrapbook also make it easier to thumb through and read comfortably compared to the significantly smaller survival guide.
So if you like the movie and want to know a little more about the world James Cameron put together then this book may be right up your alley. If you are a tech freak and are looking for lots of details then pass this up. If you are the uber-fan then maybe get both if you can get the scrapbook for a good price. The images on the book would make it worth it.James Cameron's Avatar: The Movie Scrapbook OverviewIn the futuristic world of Avatar, Jake, a wounded ex-marine is thrust into an elaborate scheme to mine an exotic planet for its rare and valuable natural resources. Scientists have created Avatars -- bodies designed to look like the planet′s alien inhabitants that have to be operated by a human consciousness.

The Making of Avatar ReviewFirst off let me tell you this book is thick and heavy. When the delivery driver handed it to me I was amazed at the weight of it. Big hardcover, dust-jacket, and over 270 pages...you definitely feel like your getting your money's worth on that fact alone.
The authors Lisa Fitzpatrick and Jody Duncan did a perfect job with this book. Jody Duncan writes for 'Cinefex' magazine and I was impressed with her technical article of 'Avatar' when I purchased the magazine issue back in December, so I was naturally excited to see she would be involved with this book as well. She went above and beyond with this one though in my opinion.
Like I said, this isn't a small book by any means, you get high-quality bindings with nice huge pages which feature enormous amounts of details that go into the making of this movie. It goes into every aspect of this film's production including; pre-production, principle photography, art-direction, music, editing, and the post-production process. Also found within the book are pictures of concept art and hi-res production stills from the film, behind the scenes pictures of the filming sets, equipment, virtual-camera system, 3D Fusion camera system, the actors, motion-capture systems, etc...I could keep going on but I'll just say there is all kinds of stuff in it. Not to mention, it also covers the elaborate techniques taken by the production team responsible for the state of the art visual effects used for the film.
Careful attention to detail was taken, every page has something interesting about it and thats what I liked most about it. Even the pictures have very detailed captions to explain exactly what you are seeing and how it relates to the words you are reading next to it. Some of the pictures for example are an actual film still from the film, and next to it will be a picture of the exact same shot of the actor in the motion capture suit on the sound-stage, which in turn shows you how well the visual-effects team transformed it into what we saw.
Overall, I am really impressed with this book as a whole and would highly recommend it to fans and non-fans alike because of its interesting reading and excellent pictures. I have several movie-production books for other films in my collection and this one is now easily the best one.
'Avatar' was a film production process that broke new ground in the industry, and if you're curious as to how it all came together to create a $2.7 billion grossing movie, look no further...5-stars.
The Making of Avatar OverviewIn 1995, James Cameron began work on a story that would, more than a decade later, evolve into Avatar, the blockbuster of 2009 and no less than the movie event of the decade. Opening to international critical acclaim (including nine Academy Award® nominations) and unprecedented box-office success, Avatar quickly, within a few short weeks, became the highest-grossing film on record. An epic for our times, this next-generation spectacle blends action, adventure, and romance with a timely message of ecological responsibility while using, and inventing, cutting-edge technologies to transport audiences to a lush, fully realized alien world. No less epic, however, was the groundbreaking and exhaustive process of bringing the film to life. Early brainstorming sessions in Malibu jumpstarted a vast production effort that ultimately spanned several years and multiple continents. The Making of Avatar reveals never-before-seen illustrations and photographs, with a text that charts the technical challenges, innovations, and discoveries that made the film's breakthroughs possible. Working in tandem, artists and technicians created new tools and processes to realize the film's vision, including those for performance capture, which allows the nuances of the actors' performances to be translated faithfully to their digital characters; a virtual camera system, which empowered Cameron to direct within a virtual world with unprecedented range, generate real-time composites, and blend live action and special effects more naturally and intuitively than ever before; and stereoscopic photography, which produced the most immersive 3-D experience to date. Here is the behind-the-scenes celebration of this monumental undertaking, the official record of how Cameron, the actors, and the crew made a film, and made history.

James Cameron's Avatar: The Na'vi Quest ReviewHad the first review posted with this item ACTUALLY described the item he was SUPPOSED to be reviewing and not the movie, I wouldn't have bought this book. I was hoping for a novel that would expand on the story of the movie. This is not a full length novel but a child's adaptation instead (maybe for nine year olds?). I suppose for what it is it's OK. However, if you're expecting a novel based on the movie, this is NOT it.James Cameron's Avatar: The Na'vi Quest OverviewFOR USE IN SCHOOLS AND LIBRARIES ONLY. In the futuristic world of James Cameron's Avatar, a young man named Jake becomes part of an exploration team on the planet Pandora, inhabited by the exotic Na'vi. Scientists have created an avatar-a body that looks like a Na'vi but is operated by a human's consciousness. When in his avatar body, Jake finds himself drawn to the planet's way of life. But before the Na'vi will accept him as one of their own, he has to pass a series of fantastic and dangerous tests. Can Jake survive long enough to become a full-fledged Na'vi? And will he ever want to live as a human again?--This text refers to the Library Binding edition.

The Art of Avatar: James Cameron's Epic Adventure Review(I've updated this review a bit after watching the movie.)
If you're blown away by the visual quality of the Pandora, as shown in the trailers, you'll be glad to see that majority of the art in this book are on the environments. There are also designs for the plants, animals, vehicles and the Pandora inhabitants, the Na'vi. Weta Workshop is also roped in to provide some models and help in designing the Na'vi. The creativity behind the design and the scale of work is of course amazing.
The downside is there are only 108 pages, which is underwhelming considering that every set and prop in the movie is made totally from imagination. They certainly could have packed more pages but the price is also lower for that matter.
This book didn't include as much preliminary designs as I hoped, like the iterations they had to do to get to the final designs. The only area where there are iterations are the character designs for the Na'vi. The rest, like the flora, fauna, vehicles and sets look pretty close to the finalized designs.
Most of the art in this book look computer generated (not that it's a bad thing) and there are very few pencil sketches. Quite a few pieces created with mixed medium are a bit jarring to me, like mixing photos with digital painting for backgrounds. Again, nothing wrong with mixing medium but some of the styles just clash and calls for attention in the wrong way.
The writeup talks mainly about the design concepts and very little on the production. Stereocopy, which James Cameron is an advocate of, is used, but it's only briefly mentioned.
I'm intrigued that James Cameron actually wrote the script in 1995. But he had to wait until 2006 before technology was (deemed) advanced enough (for him) to make the film. I thought technology was already available when Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within was released in 2001. So what technology are we really talking about here? It's not mentioned but, well, this isn't a making-of book. I'll definitely be getting the disc when it comes out.
Overall, this book looks like a rush job. Page 82-83 has an image of the flying Ikrans printed upside down. I can't imagine how it's possible to place a picture on a page (on the software) without looking at the picture. There are very slight pixelation with the really big pictures, something I don't normally see with other movie books.
It's a nice book but more for Avatar fans. But be prepared to be underwhelmed, especially after you've watched the movie.
3.5 out of 5 stars

Avatar: A Confidential Report on the Biological and Social History of Pandora (James Cameron's Avatar) ReviewSomeone from the Resources Development Administration (RDA) labs has leaked this confidential report. Not only that, he/she has successfully sold this online (where I bought mine) and at major bookstores! That's one smart, profiteering, mole.
This is the fact book on Pandora, the kind of book issued to soldiers who are about to invade that planet for its precious resources. It has all the information on the ecosystem, resources, flora, fauna and the native population called Na'vi, complete with all their culture and behaviour. There are classified information on the weapon systems used by RDA, including the Avatar project. And everything is accompanied by CG images.
I had some hesitation before buying this survival guide and it's not because I'm afraid that James Cameron might send Avatars to get me. I like art books and books on movie production, this book is neither of those. This is really a visual companion to all the stuff that's shown in the movie. It's for the ultimate fans, those who need to know every little detail, from the ferns on the ground to the mating habits of the Na'vi.
It's an interesting book but recommended more to the hard core fans of the movie.
(More pictures are available on my blog. Just visit my Amazon profile for the link.)Avatar: A Confidential Report on the Biological and Social History of Pandora (James Cameron's Avatar) Overview
A field guide to Pandora-the mesmerizing world of James Cameron's Avatar.

Four years in the making-and 15 years since its conception-Avatar is a live action film with a new generation of special effects, delivering a fully immersive cinematic experience of a new kind, where the revolutionary technology invented to make the film disappears into the emotion of the characters and the sweep of the story.

In Avatar: A Confidential Report on the Biological and Social History of Pandora we are introduced to Pandora-a pristine and beautiful moon in a distant solar system-its exotic ecosystems, and the indigenous race called the Na'vi. By piecing together photographs, scientific field notes, and research data, citizens on Earth have collected the information in this field guide as a way to highlight the lessons Pandora can teach the people of Earth, who have struggled to survive as their planet's critical resources are depleted.

Though Pandora has proven to be an exceedingly profitable source of natural resources, the environment-from its gravity-defying floating mountains to the small but venomous hellfire wasps and the gigantic carnivorous thanator-poses continual dangers to RDA. Catalogued with unparalleled precision and access, this field guide provides highly detailed descriptions of the unique creatures and plants found on Pandora, the culture, language, and physiology of the native population, as well as RDA technology and weapons.

Eager to save the Earth, the activists have culled this information in hopes to expose the corporate greed and disregard for the native inhabitants and their environment that governs RDA's presence on the foreign moon.

This is the evidence in their case to save Pandora-and themselves.
