This video is the story of Mike being kidnapped by bank robbers and then left in the desert alone. The other Last Chance Detectives keep searching for him. They follow Mikes clues until they find him. I liked this video a whole lot. by Derek, age 6

Ronald Watkins' account of this horrible crime was written in a most compassionate and considerate way. While he informed the reader in detail the senseless and depraved manner in which Suzanne Rossetti died, he did so with an obvious caring for Suzanne's family and friends. As a resident of Arizona, I have had the opportunity to visit the crime scene and have followed the demise of Jesse Gilles, one of Suzanne's killers. To my relief, he was finally executed in Arizona in January of 1997. I hope for more books by Mr. Watkins on other true crime subjects.

For anyone who is tired of the same old "tourist traps", this book is for you. There are a wide variety of treasures to be found in Arizona and Rick Harris has drawn maps for many of them. My friends and I have spent many days exploring the seldom seen sides of Arizona and have seen many things that most travelers will never dream of. Whether it's caves, mines or Indian Ruins; Ghost towns, quartz crystals or cliff dwellings, this is the book for you. I carry this book with me whenever I'm in Arizona because you never know when the fever for a good adventure will hit.

I have been a fan of Sandy Dengler's work for years. This book is the best one she has ever written. If you love mystery and suspense, check it out. The story involves Joe, the hero of the series, being shot. He thinks it was someone on the police force where he works. Hardly even trusting his partner, he hides out in a house and tries to recoop, while his partner tries to figure out what happened. After the assasigns try to kill Joe at the house, he runs into the desset to hide, but no one knows where he is. With so many people searching but not knowing who to trust, Joe must relie on God to help him. I believe this book was never published. I have only read it because Sandy Dengler sent me a copy of the manuscript. If you can get it, it is well worth it. Also, you do not have to read the other books n ther series to appreciate this one, although it does help

Janice Emily Bowers writes from the heart, taking an unflinching look at nature - and herself - reflected in the ecology of Arizona: desert, mountains, peaks and canyons. I felt that I was right along with her on these explorations, and I highly recommend this book for those who enjoy outer - and inner - exploration.

This is a beautiful book that not only explores the Canyon through words and watercolors but also our place in the world as human beings. Jordan introduces one to the rythyms of life on the river and shares with us her ability to interpret the daily wonders that make the Grand Canyon so majestic. She has created not just a journal but a moving piece of prose that carries the reader from the widerness of the Canyon to finding meaning in our daily lives. A wonderful journey.

This is a great trek through the history of the Arizona basketball program. Lots of kewl pictures of Coach Lute Olsen and his team.

This is a great book, written not from a journalistic point of view nor from an official point of view, but from that of somebody who was a fire boss for over a decade on the Grand Canyon's North Rim fire crew. Written as fiction, although it is based on actual events with only the names changed. Edward Abbey, who worked in a fire tower on the North Rim for a couple of seasons, makes a thinly-disguised cameo appearance here as "Abner". Effectively captures the work, the culture, and the humor of forest firefighters in a way that no other book I've read has. If you're at all interested in the subject I'd recommend picking this up.

If anyone were to gather names for the top five western writers of all time, Richard S. Wheeler would undoubtedly be among them. His tale spinning genius and esteemed talent with language unfolds again in FLINT'S HONOR, Wheeler's third book detailing the adventures of warring journalist, Sam Flint. Flint arrives in Silver City Colorado-a town wedged between the walls of a rocky gulch-to defend the honor of a prostitute, whose death had been treated smugly in the Silver City Democrat. Searching the boomtown for a place to set up his press, Flint finds no vacancies, and against his better judgment has to settle for a room in a house of ill repute. Rather than recognizing Flint's new Silver City Sentinel as a worthy competitor, Digby Westminster, the editor of the Democrat plays Flint's positioning for all it's worth, and dubs the new paper The Bawdyhouse Bugle. Flint soon learns that the licentious editor has another foe, Achilles Balthazar, a powerful and despicable mine owner known for his ill treatment of workers and ability to read peoples minds-especially idealists like Flint. Flint finds himself amidst the politics and greedy maneuvers of both men, having only the power of words as his defense. Ready to sum up his losses at any moment, Flint is joined by a gypsy printer, Jude Napoleon, who not only adds spice to Flint's conflict, but provides him with the extra energy and wit needed to help bring down the two men, who like the mammoth walls that parallel the city, hold the whole town captive.

This is my first read book by Richard Wheeler. I was very moved. The accounts of the West for this gold rush town seemed vivid in my mind as I read. Very emotional ending. Sadly Fabulous! This book speaks to a person's heart!
