This is one of a series of fishing guidebooks to northern Wisconsin by this publisher. This review equally applies to all other books of the series. I have found these books invaluable for planning my fishing trips to northern Wisconsin. This particular book covers 68 lakes in 140 square miles surrounding Eagle River, Wisconsin. It contains maps and information about each lake's size, depth, fertility, public access, fish species, and describes the best fishing spots and recommended lures and techniques. The book is a convenient size (8 1/2 x 5 1/2) and fits into a tackle box. The other volumes of the series are similar. These books went out of print because the publisher found it more profitable to sell individual lake maps. Their maps provide the same information but are available only for the most popular lakes, and a book is easier to use than a pile of maps. Using these books to plan my fishing trips, I can fish more lakes and spend my time on the most productive spots. This is especially important to me because I live over 2,000 miles away and visit this area only once every five years. I fish for muskies but bass, walleye, and pan fishermen also will find these books handy. I give them 5 stars because the information is very complete and not readily available otherwise. I was not paid for this review and have no affiliation with the publisher. I am simply a fisherman who likes this product a lot for the reasons stated above.

I thought both books in this saga were extremely good, and the descriptive passages about Tsar Nicholas 1's Russia are incredible. I was on holiday and searching for trashy novels in the local library to pass the time, and found these instead. A very welcome surprise! Does anyone know if there are any more books after 'Fleur', because if there are, I'll be buying them a.s.a.p

J. Krishnamurti, born a sickly Hindi child, was raised and molded for the position of world guru by the Theosophical society. He did become a physically healthy yound man, and the Order of the Star was formed around him to nurture his big awakening. He gave speeches and had a great following. Then during a huge gathering of 2000 of his devotees, he broke the news to them, which was essentially "I am not your leader. I can not make you enlightened. Only you can do that. Do not follow me for I have no answers for you. You must think through life for yourself." This turn, what might have been percieved as a let down, was actually great advice and deep wisdom. After that he continued to speak, but always with the same message, which was basically to do away with all conditioning and to search for the truth of reality without the screens of religions, politics, patriotism, gurus, philosophies, etc. He sought to see reality as it was, not as how people dreamed it should be. This book is a small sample of his talks and writings. But there is so much more to the man and his profound mind than this. Since Amazon may not have this one in stock, check out one of his other books. But it must be noted that many of the books of Krishnamurti are biographies. They are interesting, but to get to the core of his ideas, check out HIS writings and talks.

This book gives you a vivid picture of how Dan (the author) raise the Golden Eagle and how their relationship grow, also it gives you many information on Eagles. It's quite touching, too. More than that, this book disprove the myth that eagles raised by man could not fly free.

This is a great book with Native American stories from all over America. It has many stories and about four sections with about five stories in each section. I have some Native American blood and this book has stories from my ancestors. You should really read this book.

Sagan's stunning story telling continues with little Szar waking up further after his encounter with the Dragon. He returns to Esraim a veerry different man and his awakening takes him closer and closer to his initiation as a Master of Thunder. His love for Elyani is a story of how love for another person can be such a powerful tool of awakening for those willing to see it in that way.

When I first started to look through this book, I decided that it's all trivial. Then I looked again, hm-m-m... I actually never thought about most of this "trivial" stuff before. The language was simple, true, but it's amazing how many good hints are there. I regularly read books on personal finance, and this book does not repeat them. Say, did you ever wonder how banks make money on those "0% APR introductory offers"? And did you even thought why it is important to know? Yes, good question contains most of the answer. Because that's what you pay, if you use this "free" credit. And this book is good with both questions and answers. Another example: if your income is $100 short from your expenses, how much expenses you should cut? $100, right? Now, if you cannot cut expenses, how much you have to earn? $100? Not keeping in mind income tax! Assume your effective federal income tax rate last year was 15% and your tax bracket was 33%, then how much? $115? $133? $150? Wrong, quite a bit more!

The cover says, it's good for teenagers, and that's true. I'll try to make my teenager kids read it. In a few years they are going to a college, and I want them to be smart about their money. The cover says that it's also good for everybody who has come to this country and tries to make sense of our financial life. I suppose that's true too. But it's also definitely good for a lot of other folk. It was good for me, and I am not a teenager.

Finally, a interesting piece of history documented with todays resources. Enjoyable for advocates of L & C and those who would want a GREAT photography table book.

This book of stories is a rare treat to read. I couldn't get onto the next story fast enough. With each tale I was pulled straight into the home and at the knees of the storyteller, Grandpa Iron. I "became" one of his grandchildren, smudged by the cedar, leaning forward to hear every detail of the story about horse, moose, mole, swallow, and the nine other animals, one for each poetically descriptive Full Moon of the year such as "Moon of the Popping Trees" in December with turtle. I, like Grandpa Iron's grandchildren, relish and believe the stories! How hard it must have been for the children to wait one whole month for each new story.

I love the illustrations, both paintings and colored pencil drawings. They convey the character and movement of the animals so well. The colors are bright and entrancing; and the symbols painted on the animals are intriguing. They look so like the pictographs I have seen painted on hides in museums and reproduced from ledger books. There are stars, moon, lightning, mountains, the sun, and other ones which are yet a mystery to me.

As well as the stoies there are details of the children's and Grandpa and Grandma Iron's life on the Wind River Reservation: doing chores, packing to go to the Sundance, eating Grandma's stew and fry bread, and running barefoot in the snow. I have been to Wind River and could feel again through the book the vastness and intimacy of the land. This book is an outstanding model of how stories can be written and presented with enthusiasm for children.

This book begins in a very poor district of a city in England during the Industrial Revolution. The division between classes is very notorious. I have to admit that I found myself struggling for the first 100 pages or so, but then afterwards I was hooked. I am not to unveil the main trama but this is the story of a man that fights his way up the slums (with some help) and at this point the author provides us with many surprises, up until the end of the book. Things that had been building up in the 100 previous pages finally start falling together in a carefully laid out fashion, and a very romantic way. The feelings are intense.
