Georgia Books

Excellent, highly detailed guide to south Georgia canoeing. Includes road and river mileage between public landings throughout south Georgia. Gives typical water characteristics on each stretch of river. Quality of each landing described in detail, too.

As the author of this book, of course I gave it five stars...I am a semi-retired librarian and this is my third book, now busily writing a fourth. My husband of fifty-three years and I live in the mid-west. I am handicapped and spend my time writing.

I recently wrote a U.S. History Term paper on the Panama Canal, and during the scamble for resources, I found this book on Amazon.com. It served as the backbone of my paper, focusing on every facet of the canal's existence, including the flawed U.S. reasoning while aquiring the canal. Conniff makes the situation clear allowing you to make your own judgments. Without this book, I would not have had a paper. A+

i have several translations of le spleen de paris( in turkish) and want to say that these i have is not good in print, not well organized.but this book, with lots of painting of which painters baudelaire himself mentioned in his essays concerning modern painting and two are painted by baudelaire. a masterpiece is born from a masterpiece.

It is a pleasure to recommend this book. The Peculiar Democracy is an interesting survey of Southern Democrats. It makes important distinctions between populist-minded Jacksonians and elite-minded Bourbons. It points out that Jeffersonian ideals associated with yeoman farmers and self-reliance were not fulfilled by the arrogant slothfulness of the plantation aristocracy.

I love this book. It is a great recollection of some of our ancestors and things about them that we didn't know. I am from Pembroke and this book made me proud to call it my home.

This book is an essential piece for anyone wanting to work in South Carolina. Sassaman has done a phenomenal job creating an account of the MALA people that even non-archaeologists can understand.

I enjoyed this book not because I am a former bulldog but because of the inspiration and ideas it gave me as the coach of high level athletes. My college bound high school gymnasts seemed to be missing something that I just couldn't put my finger on. Suzanne's experience and suggestions of how to train both the body and mind of gymnasts as they enter into adulthood was just the inspiration and insight I was looking for.
Go Dawgs!

I live near the Flint River and am so interested in the history I bought this book. It is a super book and worth every penny. I wish the photo reproduction was better but its still a wonderful study.
