"Most gulls don't bother to learn more than the simplest facts of flight--how to get from shore to food and back again," writes author Richard Bach in this allegory about a unique bird named Jonathan Livingston Seagull. "For most gulls it is not flying that matters, but eating. For this gull, though, it was not eating that mattered, but flight." Flight is indeed the metaphor that makes the story soar. Ultimately this is a fable about the importance of seeking a higher purpose in life, even if your flock, tribe, or neighborhood finds your ambition threatening. (At one point our beloved gull is even banished from his flock.) By not compromising his higher vision, Jonathan gets the ultimate payoff: transcendence. Ultimately, he learns the meaning of love and kindness. The dreamy seagull photographs by Russell Munson provide just the right illustrations--although the overall packaging does seem a bit dated (keep in mind that it was first published in 1970). Nonetheless, this is a spirituality classic, and an especially engaging parable for adolescents. --Gail Hudson
Book Description
This is a story for people who follow their hearts and make their own rules...people who get special pleasure out of doing something well, even if only for themselves...people who know there's more to this living than meets the eye: they'll be right there with Jonathan, flying higher and faster than ever they dreamed.

Believe in More Than Flying..........2007-09-29
What can I say of Jonathan Livingston Seagull that doesn't make me smile..From being referenced as Jonathan myself by family members to re-reading the book at every life milestone, this book has been a part of my life.
It doesn't matter if you believe in idealism or realism. JLS enables us all to believe in much more than flying. We can reach new heights only if we try. We can challenge the status quo only if we believe in ourselves.
Even if you have read this book before, try reading it again. You will find something different this time.
Great for jr. high students.......2007-08-25
I think this is a cute story that younger readers will appreciate. I'm not sure why there is so much hatred for this little book. If it's not for you there are plenty of other books out there to read. As a librarian, I must say that there is too much negativity in our culture towards what people read. Let people read what they like. Reading at any level improves vocabulary and comprehension. Snobbishness towards reading materials is especially counter productive. Just say why it wasn't for you and leave it at that.
Cliche Passed off as a Meaningful Story.......2007-08-21
My father read one book to me while I was growing up - "Jonathan Livingston Seagull." I was about 8 and he was going through his self-awakening and self-realization period. He received great meaning from the book and I thought - as an 8 year-old - that it was just a stupid book. I remember not understanding the book very well as he read it to me but more so, not understanding why my father was reading a book to me. I didn't know how to respond, how to act, what to say as this strange man read a strange book to me. The book meant something to him but by the fact that he was reading it to an 8 year-old was proof that he was doing it for himself, not me. I couldn't wait until he finished so I could go watch "The Brady Bunch."
I revisited the book as an adult and still thought it was a ridiculous cliche and unoriginal in its story and execution. Perhaps my childhood memories tainted my adult view of the book (of course they did) but I think you can read the book now and wonder why it was considered so unique and groundbreaking in its time. I realize we can read books like "Seagull" and "I'm Okay, You're Okay" more than 30 years later and think they are absolutely moronic because many of us didn't grow up as adults in the 1960s and 70s. But good literature DOES stand the test of time and man, this book doesn't cut it. It is pablum and shouldn't even be wasted on children.
A sublime and inspirational fable about the timeless quest for higher meaning .......2007-08-20
This is a sublime and inspirational fable about the timeless quest for higher meaning ... told in this case though the eyes of an sensitive, lonely, and highly intelligent seagull, named Johnathan.
I first read it when I was in high school, and at the time it moved me ... very deeply. I also grew up, and still live, near the ocean, where seagulls always maintain a constant presence - which made the metaphorical vehicle for this story particularly apt in my case. It remains one of my very favorite books, even to this day.
The truly amazing thing (the thing that elevates this book to a 10) is how elegantly, simply, and deftly the author covers such profound material, with such a minimum of effort and words. The book weighs in at a mere 128 pages ... over half of them B&W photos of seagulls ... so it's actually less than 60 pages of text. If you reformatted it to small, normal size print, it'd probably drop to about 30 pages. I recently re-read it in about 2 hours, so it's a very fast read - but it's tiny size is greatly outweighed by it's impact. One could easily argue that the story is prose poetry, rather than a short story, because of it's well honed cadence.
I highly recommend this gem for anyone (particularly those in their teens and twenties) who's groping about for their emotional, spiritual, and intellectual niche in society, and life in general.
Life can be hard, lonely and painful at times - but every once in a while we stumble across a rare gem ... be it a person or a moment or a song or a book or the touch of a friendly hand ... that helps us catch a glimpse of what it's really all about, and which lets us know that we're not alone, and that there are others out there, like us, who occasionally 'get it' too.
For music lovers, there's also a lovingly produced full length orchestral album (by Neil Diamond) that was inspired by this book.
Highly recommended.
It Was Inspirational.......2007-08-04
Many will pan this masterpiece by Richard Bach as fuzzy and warm. But it is Jonathan Livingston Seagull's simplicity which allows the book to be vulnerable in this respect. However, this vulnerability, this love, allows it to soar. It's message is so simple -- desire is everything -- and so immutable, that it reaches to beyond the heights of hman expeience.
This book is on my friend Marcia Makepeace's ten favorite books. I agree. Jonathan Livingston Seagull has risen from its following in the 70's, to inspire another generation in the miracle of its message.

Customer Reviews:
Decent amount of facts, but poorly written.......2007-07-24
Overall, this is a pretty poorly written book. Most of the important events are glossed over. The book is written in a list style, spending only one sentence on some important events and people, like the Glass-Steagal Act. World War I gets about 2 pages. Also, the organization leaves something to be desired. The author likes to skip around chronologically in favor of grouping by social, political, and economic topics. This works well in the case of the chapter on Progressivism, but fails elsewhere.
Written by only one author - most history textbooks have multiple authors - this books has the feel of getting only one viewpoint. Foner isn't even an expert in this time period; he writes about the Civil War and Reconstruction. There are much, much better US history textbooks out there. I would recommend American Pageant for this level (advanced high school, college survey).
grear History book.......2006-11-10
it holds american history in one volume, from Colon to 9/11
great price
this books is very easy to read and it comes with a code to get premium access to the editorial, with videos and a long interview with the authors about each chapter, really cool !
Excellent way to learn American History........2006-03-09
I am a foreign student, and this is the first time that I study American History. The Seagull Edition of this book is great because it has all the written information and appendix from the regular volume and it costed less than half. Some people might miss the colored pictures, the maps or the extra margens to right notes, but this edition fitted my budget and i am enjoying it anyway.
Regarding the content, the information is presented clearly and very complete.

Amazon's scamp in shipping.......2007-07-09
This rating is not about the book but it's about Amazon service. I ordered the book on 07/02/2007 and the book was not shipped until 07/09/2009. I received no email letting me know there is a delay in shipping. I am already behind in this class and I am having a test next monday 07/16/2007. I will have to buy a book in a local book store to study for the test. I am very disappointed w/ Amazon. I think they are playing this game to make you buy their shipping package. Very cheap and low tactic from Amazon...
A US History interesting book.......2006-11-06
It is a book that has all the facts of US History. It gives extra details to place every detail given in the right place. It is also very easy to read and would go along great with a lecture class. Personally I read this book with Howard Zinn side by side so I could get the facts and opinion at the same time. Very good book.

Customer Reviews:
Chekhov plays.......2007-04-11
Plays in general have a tendency to be overly-dramatic. Thus the name "drama". Chekhov definitely used this drama aspect to enhance his plays. He succeeded with some, making them dramatic, awe-inspiring, and amazing. Others? Less so.
I enjoyed reading all of these plays, and I won't deny that. Some, however, are harder to read and to understand than others. It's especially difficult to remember what character is which in each play, especially since in Ivanov, all the names are long and complex. While good plays themselves, I constantly had to flip back to the character list just to remember who that is, a problem rarely found in other plays, such as Ibsen's works.
The plays themselves are good. Each one has its own charm and interest. They're a pleasant read, but a difficult one. It's not something you can just breeze through. Reading these plays needs time and effort, which may be too much for some. If you're looking for any old Chekhov, settle for his stories, like "Ward number six", or even his short little stories. If you're looking for plays (not Shakespeare, that is), go for Ibsen. If you think you can handle this, take it on, but be warned that this is not an easy read.
Nice, but not Chekhov.......2003-03-29
This translation is a nice effort -- at rewriting the original, extremely subtle text as a modern English drama according to the tastes and limitations of the translator. If you're looking to capture the true genius of Chekhov, try another.
Uncle Vanya the greatest play of the last century.......2002-11-21
There are only two modern dramatists that are masters one is Peter Shaffer who wrote the maliciously marvelous Amadeus and the plays of Anton Chekhov the best of which is uncle vanya, the best dipiction of real life its tragedy, its joy and its drama. From the Tolstoyan Astrov, to the depressed Vanya, to the beautiful but vain Yelena. This is a play about life...all people can relate to it in some way and I think Chekhov's philosophy of life is...sublime
Uncle Vanya was my personal favorite.......2000-03-18
Anton Chekhov was a writer who was able to capture the essence of life and inter-personal relationships in his stories. His writing is simple yet powerful and emotionally affecting. Uncle Vanya deals with envy, male-female relationships, despair, and takes a look at life from a realist perspective.
I liked this book.......2000-02-23
I read Uncle Vanya for an English class at my school and I have to say I enjoyed it immensely. Chekhov is able to capture life and the daily struggle of living in a single stroke. Chekhov explores male and female love relationships, self-realization, opposite sex attraction and more. Chekhov's writing in these five plays focus mainly on dialogue and the interactions that take place between his life-like characters. Anton Chekhov has the rare ability to articulate through his story telling the essence of human existence.

In Chekov this is called comedy.......2003-05-12
Oh tormented people. One may read `The Seagull' and wonder what's that all those things about death and killing, and failing love stories. So sad! But in Chekov's world this is a comedy, and it doesn't take too much to get why. It is indeed funny in some parts-- well, not the kind of funny we are used to, but nevertheless, it makes us laugh.
The tragicomic play is of paramount importance in modern teather. Rarely has a playwriter written such a realistic piece analyzing the life of an artist and his/her role in the society. In `The Seagull' Treplieff is a writer wanna be, who is trying to grow over the shadow of her mother --an aging actress--, and to get an actress wanna be to love him. But above all, he has to deal with feeling jelous of Trigorin a youger and successful writer. There aren't many characters, but there is so much going on, personal dilemas, that the story grows to a placeless dimension.
Chekov can write with such a confidence that for not a second you doubt the existence of these people. His words are vivid. More than 100 years later, his play is up to date dealing with issues that are universal and timeless-- that can make you either cry or laugh.
I'm a seagull; no, that's wrong.......2003-03-17
GREAT PLAY-says so much about life and love.
Character driven.
Sad, but it's Checkov
Well worth the read!
a masterful new translation.......2002-10-20
Russian plays aren't for everyone--they are dense, heavy affairs, packed full of ideas and slow moving characters. If you are looking for a fast-paced potboiler with lots of action, etc. then stay away from Chekhov. But if you enjoy reflection and having something to talk about when you finish a book then Checkhov will serve you well--and, most improtantly, if you want to read "The Seagull" this IS the translation to get--Stoppard has done a wonderful job, making this classic even more readable and enjoyable.
I would like to add that Chekov's brilliant play,.......2002-08-22
"The Seagull," is also about how the constraints of society restrict us from achieving our goals. Constantin is not appreciated by the masses for his "experiemental" writing. Masha (?) feels trapped by her social position and unwanted by Constantin thus marries a schoolteacher who she doesn't love. Although Trigorin achieved success through his mediocre novels, he feels unsatisfied by not creating "real" art and compelled to anihilate anyone who attempts to create real art, such as Constantin. It is interesting to note that Constantin is secretly envious of Trigorin for his success and Trigorin is envious of Constantin for maintaining his integrity in his art. Maybe that's why they're always at each other's throats. Just my two cents.
Jealousy, ambition, despair.......2002-02-04
The play is set on an estate in the Russian countryside, owned by the former state councillor Peter Sorin. He lives there with his nephew Konstantin Trepliev, the son of a famous actress and himself an aspiring playwright. His mother, Irina Abkadina, is a miserly and self-centered woman fascinated by her own fame and beauty. The only object of her affection is the famour writer Trigorin.
An abstract play written by Trepliev and performed by his young girlfriend Nina Zarietchnaya fails miserably, and Nina turns her attention instead to the more successful Trigorin. The young Trepliev attempts suicide, then challenges Trigorin to a duel. All his efforts are in vain, and Nina leaves for Moscow to be with her idol. Trigorin, however, soon forgets about her, and her career as an actress is even more miserable than Trepliev's career as a writer. Both youngsters thus face tragic fates as their failed ambition, jealousy, and misguided love and anger carry them to destruction.
This subtle work deals with issues such as unrequited love, jealousy, betrayal and vanity without being overly sentimental. It also addresses the spectacular effect people of charisma or celebrity can have on ordinary people, and suggests that this great power is a dangerous tool in the hands of people who are often hostages of their own reputations.
