Developed by a team of botanists, this is the device that analyzes critical plant growth variables and recommends which plant species will thrive in your yard or home. Simply stake the unit into the soil and it measures soil moisture and drainage, sunlight levels, ambient temperature and humidity for 24 hours. The top of the unit detaches and plugs into a computer's USB port, allowing you to upload the data to the manufacturer's website. The website automatically analyzes the data and uses a database of 5,000 species to determine which plants will flourish in your environment. Ideal for the novice gardener or the green-thumbed, the device can be placed next to an ailing plant to analyze its surroundings and offer solutions to foster robust growth. Includes one AAA battery, USB cable, and stand. 12 H x 5 1/2 W x 3 D. (1 lb.).

Only 1/2 thick and barely wider than a credit card, this full-featured digital camera has all the indispensable features found in larger cameras without the bulk. Like its much larger counterparts, this sleek camera has a superior 10-megapixel image sensor that can take still pictures at a maximum 3648 x 2736 resolution. It includes a 3X optical zoom lens in addition to cropping and other image enhancements. The 2 3/4 wide-format LCD is twice as bright as typical cameras, and lets you clearly compose, crop, and delete shots with ease while in the field. The camera offers automatic and manual picture settings (including exposure and white balance), instantly adjusting to ambient light for optimal results on sunny or overcast days, while an anti-shake option reduces blurry images caused by camera shake or moving subjects. A digital MPEG-4 movie mode lets you record high-quality videos and audio at up to 30 fps with a resolution of 848 x 480 pixels. The rechargeable battery lasts for up to 280 shots per charge. It has 12MB of built-in memory and accepts SD/MMC cards. Includes a built-in flash, docking/charging cradle, and video-out and USB cables. 2 1/4 H x 3 3/4 W x 1/2 D. (4 oz.).

Woven using 25,000 stainless steel threads that are three times thinner than a piece of paper --.001--this is the only wallet with a hand as smooth as silk and the strength that surpasses leather. Impervious to stretching or staining, and without sharp corners or the inherent bulk of other wallets, the stainless steel is the same metal screen found in the architecture, aerospace, and automotive industries, resulting in a thin profile that allows it to fit into a front pocket. Resistant to corrosive materials such as salts, acids, and seawater, the tightly woven steel also passively resists radio-frequency hacking--the latest identity theft technique that attempts to scan newer credit cards. The wallet has three credit card slots, two internal pockets, an ID window, and one large pocket for bills. 4 1/4 L x 3 1/2 W x 1/4 D. (4 3/4 oz.).

This is the only personal media viewer that provides a private viewing experience equivalent to watching a widescreen 52 television from 9' away. It connects to a video iPod, portable DVD player, or personal video game system and uses two high-resolution LCDs and dual stereo headphones. Developed from U.S. military technology, the viewer generates 24-bit true color (16 million colors) and a 28° field of view for wide pictures, and the removable headphones produce crisp, clear sound. The LCDs provide 428 x 240 resolution, and may be focused individually from +2 to -5 diopters and tilted up to 15° for a custom fit; an optional head strap ensures comfortable viewing. One included AA battery provides up to eleven hours of continuous operation. Includes iPod cable, A/V cable, head strap, and carrying case. (4 oz.).

This is the high-definition camcorder that is only slightly larger than a deck of cards, allowing unobtrusive carrying in a shirt pocket. Its slim profile opens to reveal a large 3 TFT LCD color screen that pivots up to 290°, providing the same viewing area used in larger camcorders. The 5 megapixel camcorder can capture high-definition resolution (1280 x 720) video footage at 30 fps. It can also take up to 15 high resolution (3744 x 2808) still pictures with its built-in 64MB memory; an SD card slot supports additional memory up to 4GB (card not included). Digital motion stabilization technology enhances image stability while shooting videos, and the camcorder has 8X digital zoom capability. A USB port that allows you to download video or pictures to a computer. Includes an AV cable for playback on a standard TV and an HDMI cable for playback on an HDTV. A rechargeable Li-Ion battery provides 110 minutes of continuous operation, and requires only four hours to fully recharge. Includes a travel pouch. 4 1/4 H x 2 1/2 W x 1 D. (6 oz.).

This device allows you to quickly and easily transfer music, video, and pictures from one iPod to another iPod without the use of a computer. It automatically recognizes when you plug in iPods (either Mac or PC formatting) on either end, and it can transfer a three-minute song in five seconds and a 30-minute video in three minutes. The device can also transfer any files when the iPods are set to disk drive mode. Its rechargeable battery provides up to 1 1/2 hours of operation during transfers, and includes an AC adapter that recharges the device in four hours; iPods are recharged while connected. Songs transferred with digital rights management (DRM) formatting require appropriate iTunes password and authorization. 3/4 H x 2 1/4 W x 3 1/2 D. (2 oz.).

Rather than organized by region or style, this book is ordered chronologically, comparing art from around the world through 30,000 years of history. With 1,000 full-color illustrations, each page is devoted to one piece of art and includes a concise yet sophisticated description that provides historical context, requiring no formal background in art. It begins in the Upper Paleolithic (ca. 28,000 B.C.) with a hand-carved mammoth ivory depiction of a lion-human from the Aurignacian culture and ends with a piece of modern Land Art located in the cinder of an extinct volcano crater near Arizona's Painted Desert. Two comparative history timelines trace the development of art and civilizations across 13 distinct world regions, allowing you to note that the creation of a floor mosaic in 750 A.D. in modern-day Jordan occurred at the same time an artisan in Gotland etched the final strokes of a picture-stone monument depicting Norse warriors sailing to Valhalla. 1,064 pages. 12 H x 12 W x 3 D. (12 3/4 lbs.).
