Cameron Books

This collection of whitewater stories centers on the theme of new experiences and adventures from the perspective of river runners. Some of these stories have been published elsewhere. The quality of the writing varies but it's a good collection and a worthy addition to any paddler's library who enjoys stories from the river. The collection leads off with Andrzej Pietowski's adventure with a crew from Poland who set off down Peru's Rio Colca, which they completed despite formidable barriers to success. Richard Bangs, who would later record many first descents across the world, tells his story of learning to guide on the Grand Canyon. William Nealy, the sport's best-known cartoonist, tells his hilarious childhood story with appropriate cartoon illustrations of floating down a forbidden drainage ditch, known as Polio Creek. Yvon Chouninard joins the legends of class V explatory boating for a 3-day first descent of the Clark's Fork of the Yellowstone. Robert Portman and Dan Reicher relive their experiences on the Yangtze paddling from Yuyang to Wushan and through the first of the Three Gorges, and then on the Li River. Pete Skinner provides a rare account of kayaking the Niagara River Gorge. Jamie McEwan tells the story of the pioneering run on Mexico's Santa Maria with his brother Tom along with Wick Walker and Andy Bridge. William Scheller relates his urban exploratory adventure on the headwaters of the Anacostia in Washington DC. Royal Robbins tells the story of his first descent of the Middle Fork of the San Joaquin Gorge with Reg Lake and Doug Tompkins, completing a 30 mile traverse through the Sierra Nevada. Richard Bangs tells the story of the first attempt on the Baro River in Ethiopia that ends tragically before it even begins with raft flips and the loss of a guest. Bo and Kathy Shelby provide a brief account of paddling the Braldu River in the Himalayas with Andy Embick, Rob Lesser, and Bob McDougall. Tim Hillmer's short story The Hookman tells of becoming a search and rescue worker on the Kern River. While SOBEK's first descent of the Zambezi grabbed all the media attention, Franz Lidz tells what the second trip was like. David Roberts tells the entertaining tale of Sobek's BBC-sponsored trip on Papua New Guinea's Tua River where the adventure itself is restructured to suit the film. Scott Thybony provides the brief account of Glen and Bessie Hyde, newlyweds lost without a trace on the Grand Canyon in 1928. Bill Mason describes their attempt on the Hood River's Wilberforce Canyon in northern Canada. The memorable 1980 spring break trip that included the first descent of Bald Rock Canyon on the MF Feather and Golden Gate section of the SF American is relived by Chuck Stanley who was joined by Lars Holbek and Richard Montgomery. The history of southeastern whitewater including the first runs of the Chattooga, French Broad, Green, Tuckasegee, Nantahala, Chattahoochee, and the early adventures of Frank Bell and many other whitewater pioneers, is told by Payson Kennedy. Jeff Rennicke closes out the collection of stories reflecting on a solo trip down Alaska's Kobuk River.

It's has been very difficult trying to find books for my twin 8yr old daughters.

I wanted a series of books with the star character being an African American girl just having fun and doing kid stuff. A book that will make them know that reading is fun. This book does just that and more.

If you're looking for a great chapter book for an African American girl, then author Ann Cameron's "Gloria Rising" and "Gloria's Way" is it.

Also, try Valerie Wilson Wesley's series of "Willimena Rules".

Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah

This is a very fun read and one which will be particularly appealing to Tolkein fans. Ferguson has worked through some of the difficulties of the world of the Hobbits and has a new take on a world of orcs, wizards, magic rings, and salvation.
It is a terrific read and one in which the characters come alive! Highly recommended for a first novel.

It is my view that folktales - tales of such quality that people kept the story alive for centuries - are excellent literature for people of any age. Anne Cameron aims her retellings of Northwest Native tales at a young audience but all of us can enjoy all of them.

In this tale, Spider Woman saves the earth from the birds of torment - Spider Woman uses a spider web and a tall tree to hold the earth in place - and to put most birds of torment into their proper place on the other side of the sky blanket.

An aside - one bird of tormet not expelled is tooth-ache, the subject of the oldest known written tale (from Mesopatamea).

Since I was saved 8 years ago, I have been praying and witnessing to my family with very little success. It has been very discouraging at times. However, Philip Cameron shows us from God's Word that the Lord is definitely concerned about our families' salvations, much more that we even think! As well, Cameron give practical reminders on how to conduct our lives as we continue to claim our families' salvations. If you need encouragement from the Lord in this area, get this book and it's predecessor, It's Time for Household Salvation by the same author. I know that by faith, my entire family is saved! Yours is too!

Have you ever been torn between two decisions? John G. Mitchell, author and main character, has just that difficulty. John's story is told in the book, The Hunt.
John has many friends, some of them anti-hunters and some of them pro-hunters. The anti-hunters are attempting to get him to pass up hunting, while the pro-hunters are trying to get him to hunt. He travels all around Upper Lower Philadelphia, Lower Philadelphia but at the top of it, trying to figure out his final decision.
I recommend this book to anyone who loves the outdoors. You don't need to like hunting to like this book. But if you do like hunting this is still a great book for you. However, if you like/dislike hunting this book might make you change your mind.

So far we've only made one recipe (the dark chocolate ice cream) and it was delicious. Actually more rich than we needed, so we know we can reduce the fat content of the milk and cream we use for the next recipe. The book is beautiful with lots of interesting ideas and flavors. Looking forward to more ice cream.

Such a great book.....It's really hard to find good books on Interaction Design, especially ones that jump out of the interface world, but here it is...great little CD with Mpegs of the projects as well, though the CD itself is not interactive. The mpegs could be of better quality, but no complaints on my end.

This book highlights all of the myths, problems and risks associated with intranet security succinctly and simply. It then offers pragmatic advice that would benefit any organization that takes its security seriously. A must read for those responsible for putting together company security policies.
