Erikson's photography captures the awe, serenity, and pure magnificence of the Yellowstone area. His extreme dedication to showcase this incredible wilderness and all the beauty that lies within is unquestionable. From a cow moose and her calf drinking from the river amidst the fall foliage, to the bald eagle soaring with wings spread wide, to the simplicity of a homestead cabin, to the sun's orange glow that vibrantly lights up the sky over the road to Yellowstone, Erikson displays over 120 glimpses of this very special place in the northwestern United States.
These breathtaking photos will help keep precious memories from fading for those who have visited Yellowstone and will inspire those who have not been to Yellowstone to go witness the true splendor firsthand as soon as they possibly can.

Full of bright, vivid images of the park, this book beautifully captures the essence of Yellowtone and is perfect souvenir for anyone who has been there and wants to recall it accurately. In addition to touching on the main features of the park, there are a great many images of what 99 percent of visitors don't see - the wild landscape that exists far from the paved roads and planked trails. It's clear that Erikson spent a lot of time lingering in these areas and became intimate with all the beautiful wildlife that exists; the shots make you feel like you're a part of it, too. Great addition to the coffee table ...

If you are a climber and enjoy humour, then get a copy of this book! It is definitely one of the funniest collection of short climbing-related stories I've ever read. While not all equally good and funny, the best easily rate up there with the best John Long stories. Be sure to catch the yarn on Cameron marking all his gear with orange paint, outrageous! Also, don't miss all the classic Warren Harding quotes!

A very funy enjoyable ecclectic group of stories taken from Cameron Burns' excellent writing career. Cam doesn't take himself or climbing too seriously; his spontinaety and wit are a funny and entertaining glimpse of what most climbers seek to obtain from their own experiences. A MUST READ!

I have found Peggy Park's book "The Power of The Lamb's Blood" to be very readable, delightful, insightful and well researched.As a home schooling mom, I often read numerous amounts of books to be able to understand what I am teaching my children as well to assist me in teaching and guiding my children in wholesome, interesting books that we will enjoy reading together. Although primarily written as a book for adults, I have found older children and teenagers would also benefit greatly!
"The Power in the Lamb's Blood" is one I include, in not only educating myself, but also in helping my children understand God's Word and how to apply it to their lives. Peggy Park's book is a valuable teaching tool for the entire family.
Her research explains the blood throughout the Old and New Testaments(Covenants), it's history, purpose, the benefits and also how to pray over your family through the power of Jesus'(Yeshua's) blood. I treasure books that are applicable and this one definetly is!
I especially appreciated the parallel's in the Old and New Testament as well as the spiritual and physical functions of His blood. I had not read the specifics of the origin of the blood covenant explained in any other book as well as this author explained this. I found that fascinating. It was an eye opener for me!
I believe this book could bring a closer walk between our Heavenly Father, His Son and you.
Peggy Park's book directs us where in Scripture you will find verses of His healing, forgiveness and power in His blood alone.
Read it for yourself, with your spouse or friend, in a group setting or in a home school with a Unit Study of the blood!
I enjoyed the applicable songs at each chapter's end, as well as the simple prayers to pray to our Heavenly Father.
I give this book 5 stars. Indulge yourself!!!

I found this book to be a very helpful and practical guide to understanding what the Bible says about Jesus's blood.

Peggy Park makes clear how to apply the full power of the Lamb's blood in your life.

If you want to live confidently in the power of Jesus's blood, this is the book for you!

Charles Chauncey Wells's new guide to the amazing Boston burying-grounds makes both informative and inspirational reading. Informative, because the graveyards themselves are usually bereft of much in the way of guidance (after all, this is hallowed ground, in more ways than one); inspirational because Wells tells the stories of those interred here with such style, wit and verve. The great men (and women, it should be remembered) are all covered here--but the book really shines, in my opinion, in presenting the tales of the "plain folks," those who filled out the amazing array of courage, talent, cunning and vision that made up revolutionary Boston.

The first time I visited Boston I was making my away around turn on the subway to find a baseball card shop. As I was making my way from the station to the store I notice a burial ground nestled between large buildings. I quickly discovered this was the Granary Burial Ground, where Paul Revere, John Hancock, Samuel Adams, the parents of Benjamin Franklin, and the victims of the Boston Massacre were laid to rest. Also buried there are Phillis Wheatley Peter Fanueil, and a woman who is NOT Mother Goose. But in addition to these famous people there were also ordinary folks. I remember one in particular that was of a physician who came from England to care for his parents and others during an epidemic. There were other tombstones that were noteworthy for their art and symbolism. You could easily spend hours on the grounds and never appreciate everything you are seeing.

What will help you with your visit to the three of the old cemeteries of central Boston is this guide, "Preachers, Patriots & Plain Folks: Boston's Burying Ground Guide to King's Chapel, Granary and Central Cemeteries" by Charles Chauncey Wells and Suzanne Austin Wells. The former wrote "Boston's Copp's Hill Burying Ground Guide" in 1998, which performs the same function for that North End Cemetery, while the later provides the black & white photographs taken for this volume (I was wondering why Wells picked that particular cemetery for his first volume and the reason would be that he is a great nephew of Charles Wells, a North End bricklayer who built 89 of the tombs at Copp's Hill and also served as the fourth Mayor of Boston).

The title of this volume actually reflects the three burying grounds since the preachers and early divines of Boston tended to be buried at King's Chapel, the patriots are found at Granary, while the plain folks ended up at Central. However if there is one thing that you will appreciate after reading this 288-page guide it is that the gravestones of unknown personages with their art and epitaphs can be of more interest than the monuments built to those who are famous.

But Wells and Wells also provide concise biographies of apparently every one they could find out anything about, so that when you see the tomb of Captain Robert Keayne at King's Chapel, to pick an example at random, you will learn the Rev. John Cotton wanted to excommunicate the captain for selling goods at exorbitant prices. You can also go and see the grave of Cotton as well. He was the second minister of the 1st Church of Boston and butted heads with both Anne Hutchinson over the doctrine of God's grace over good works and Roger Williams on the belief that civil governors should have no power over men's souls. That will give you a good example of the sort of rich detail you will find in this book.

The introductory Section A explains how "In Boston, the Stones tell the story," which explains the Puritan themes expressed in gravestones, from Puritan death heads and gourds to angel heads and dragons, and also notes the Yankee sense of thrift which had stone carvers inserting letters or words above lines when they ran out of room. The main part of the guide, Section B, is devoted to the three burying grounds. Wells provides an overview of the history of the site, then looks at the famous personages as well as those who are merely "interesting personages." You will also find lists of war dead in a location along with those who were members of the Boston Tea Party. Throughout the book you will find sections devoted to specific topics, such as "African Americans in Boston Burying Grounds" and "Freemasonry & Boston History."

Section C is the reference section, providing both Tomb Indexes and Gravestone Lists for each of the three Burying Grounds. This means that if you are looking for Governor John Winthrop, Gilbert Stuart, James Otis, or other famous individuals you will have to check the alphabetical listings for each site (but you should be able to make educated guesses given the introduction). Section D, in a packet attached to the inside back cover, with consists of a two-sided map for the three locations, which will be helpful when you visit.

It is a mistake to think that reading this fascinating volume is a substitute for actual going to Boston and visiting these sites, because it is not. For me it is both a remembrance of what I have seen before as well as an amplification providing additional insights, not to mention an indication of what I want to see the next time I visit. I have been to the Granary Burying Ground twice and now, because of "Preachers, Patriots & Plain Folks" I am looking forward to going back for a third visit.

This is my favorite of all my college textbooks, most of which I didn't even keep after the class was over. I purchased it for a 200 level Microbiology course, and read the thing from cover to cover for this class. I referred to it again and again during labs and whenever I felt like I needed more information. It was an EXTREMELY valuable resource, and it was worth every penny I paid for it, and I bought it new! This is one text I really found to be an investment rather than just another college expense. It is totally packed with color illustrations and diagrams; they're on almost every page. The study questions at the end of the chapters are right on target and really help make sure you understand the chapter's focus. I think this would even be good for homeschooling - the topics can be complex, but they are backed up with an excellent glossary and loads of helpful illustrations.

This book was a required text for my undergraduate microbiology courses for all second-year (microbiology major) students . It was a huge asset to all of my science classes and is a wealth of information for any microbiologist or student.

"The Hunting Hypothesis" is an extremely readable and interesting book concerning the discoveries made in Africa about ancestors of ours who lived primarily by hunting. These ancestors were around for quite a long time and evolved AS HUNTERS. Both physically and neurologically and/or mentally/instictively we are now, largely, what they became as those of the hunters who tended to survive in each generation.

I wasn't kidding when I said it is one of the best books I have ever read. Those who have read Ardrey's "African Genesis, Territorial Imperative and Social Contract" will probably already know what a great writer he was.

This book (along with Ardrey's other three in what I think of as a sequence) is one of the most important books I have ever read. It (they) are mostly built around the discoveries made in Africa in the early and mid twentieth century of the remains of those of our ancestors who spent millions of years becoming us. Or, from our point of view, how we came to be the way we are.

Unfortunately I only discovered them within the last six or seven years. At various times, when they were published, two or three of them were best sellers... but I guess I was busy with something a lot less important.

His writing is the very best I have run into in this field and has made reading, and rereading, them a literary pleasure in addition to explaining a lot about why I do what I do, and why history is the way it is.

Read this book. If you do I hope you are as pleased as I have been.

Having visited Grand Lake several times in my life, I was very pleased to get "A Quick History of Grand Lake" as a gift from my family. In this book, Geary offers historical insight and interesting anecdotes on the Grand Lake region couched within comfortable prose. Yes, it's a quick history - but it's hardly dull. Whether you've visited Grand Lake once or 1,000 times, there's something in this book for you.

This book was a quick reading history of a wonderful area in the south entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park. Anyone visiting Grand Lake should give this a read, well worth the money.

I read Saito's book for a course he taught at UCSD in San Diego. I felt that from his book I was given not only a unique and fascinating sociological examination of the interworkings of perhaps the first Asian suburban neighborhood in America, but I was also enlightened to a relatively new notion of 'whiteness' and its effects on the American scene. This book may be read by high school students or academic scholars, the topics of which address some of the most controversial issues in contemporary society.

I came upon the book in an unusual way. I was having dinner with a group of educators and happened to meet the author. Over dinner he talked about some of the issues he came across in his research and I decided to pick up a copy a few days later. I read the book and it surprised me. It was interesting to me because I'm from Hawaii, and the experiences of Asian Americans there, I think, are different, and the text let me experience a major community outside my own. And while I don't see myself as politically driven, I found myself caught up in the alliances/divisions he sees forming in the San Gabriel Valley. As the text examines the theoretical aspects of the politicking in that community, it also presents detailed accounts of actual events that took place during the various stages of grassroots organizing. The depth of the cross-referencing is impressive, but what strikes me most are the insightful, sometimes very personal observations offered to the researcher by participants as events formed --observations that exist almost as sub-themes to the research. He sifts through then traces back lines of political theory through to actual events as residents began to change their community. A worthy read. It has caused me to look at my own community and makes me want to understand more about the forces and processes of change.
