There are several good books on the market that discuss unique aspects of photography. I'm putting together reviews of several genres. Photography is a great pass time for all types of people.

If you love being around people and having fun while your also being creative, photography is certainly for you. If you like hiking long trails to see grand vistas, you should bring a camera. If you enjoy scenic drives, having a camera is a good reason to stop and smell the flowers, meet the locals, and bring home memories.

Please take a look at these books. The images are links to Amazon.
