If you like a good adventure without all the profanity and sex then you will like this book. Clyde McFAdden is a very likeable character that you will naturally be drawn to. It is a plausible story with characters that are believable. The story immediately draws you in and puts you on the edge of your seat waiting to find out what happens to Clyde McFadden. The plot is very clever, especially the technology that is invented for the story. Warren Wassom has created an imaginative story full of adventure that is hard to put down. This book is an adventure you don't want to miss.

I only read this because it was a required for a degree. There are other books out there that are much better than this one.

There are a lot of resources out there for travelers who enjoy staying at bed and breakfasts and inns. A quick look at most guides that cover the Rocky Mountains reveals a near endless list. This book is particularly helpful in its selection. You won't find every inn in this book, but every inn you find is worth the trip. Hopefully The Globe Pequot Press will be coming out with the eighth edition soon--after ten years a lot of these places have either closed or changed hands.

Next to mysteries, my favorite reading material is the essay. A book of essays by one author has special appeal because I get to see many sides of the author's personality. River Earth reveals a sensitive, caring man who has solid relationships with family and friends. He has a great sense of humor. His phrasing makes it easy to visualize him slipping and tripping over river rocks as he seeks out an elusive trout or running down the river bank to confront two workers laying white plastic pipe down the middle of his beloved river. For me, however, the playful stories are eclipsed by the poignant ones. By chance, I read "Who Am I?" within a couple of days of the tenth anniversary of my mother's death. I couldn't stop my tears.
John Pierce also describes paradise in this book. Paradise is a green place with a river and many chances for solitude and quiet reflection. The book contains photographs showing the author, some of the places already artfully described, family and friends. Beautiful illustrations, like the river on the cover, continue throughout the book. Both add to the character of the book.
Thank you John Pierce for the insights into your special places and feelings. I am buying a 2nd and 3rd copy to share with my friends.

I enjoy Judith Freeman's books. I've read Red Water (loved it), and her first novel, Chinchilla Farm (pretty good), and now this one which I almost enjoyed as much as Red Water. Part of it is that she & I both harken from Mormon country. She speaks in a language that resonates with me. Her characters are real, multifaceted and for the most part, unpredictably wonderful as they discover places in themselves that they didn't know existed. And to me that's the essence of life....(re)discovering places in our selves that we have forgotten as life has become predictable or challenging or we have without intention moved away from the best of who we are.

The "folded map is... easy to read" is only true if you get out of the vehicle and spread it out on the hood. Very difficult to use in the car without someone to help. It's an accurate map that should be on pages rather than all these folds. The Twin Falls street guide is on one side and the map on the other. I rarely use it and have gone back to printing what I need off the Internet.

This is a very good tool to use to learn about coding and compliance.

It has short tests that are answered in the back of the book.

Any one that is looking to learn more about coding I would highly recommend this tool.

A Stranger Here is not the type of book I usually read, I grabbed it at the library on an impulse. I was pleasantly suprised with the way Mrs.Wyss wove Jada's intricate personality and her relationship with everyone -including Starr Freeman's ghost- around her. Jada and Starr represent the things we can learn from those who lived, and died, before us; and they teach each other to appreciate the beauty around them. "Oh, Beauty are you not enough? Why then do I cry after Love?"

I read the condensed Readers Digest version of this book years ago when I was in my early teens and loved it. I always thought it would make a good TV movie or mini-series akin to The Awakening Land with Elizabeth Montgomery. It's about homesteaders at the turn of the century, several very different people who have to make a place to live in the forest. They all have different motives, different experiences, and ultimately different outcomes. I highly recommend this book for anyone!

Includes a number of submissions from high school teachers and college professors and, as one might expect from such a collection, some are better and more accurate and useful than others. That being said, those that are helpful are extremely so. I have been teaching The Sun Also Rises for the past 11 years and I learned a good deal about the novel itself and various new methods of presentation. A worhty purchase if you plan to teach the book.
