Easy to follow exercises. Pictures were extremely helpful. My shoulder felt better and stronger within a couple of weeks!

Richard D. Fisher's coverage of the earth's canyons is breathtaking. If you are a world traveler, this guidebook is a must have! The first explorer to many of these canyon areas has done an extensive study of the terrain, local peoples, and wildlife. Many of the stories are first-hand accounts of his experiences in the canyons and with the local peoples. Richard's photography pulls you into the magnificent atmosphere of the surroundings. I highly recommend this guidebook for individuals headed to the canyons and for the armchair enthusiast. It doesn't get better than this!

This is the perfect book for anyone who loves the Grand Canyon. Not only do you get gorgeous photos and historic shots of the 1905 El Tovar hotel, but there's more on Mary Jane Colter's Grand Canyon work and a chapter on the park. This is a perfect stocking stuffer or very reasonable little gift for someone heading to the canyon for a honeymoon or anniversary!

great for everybody who is interested in russin culture

I have tried several recipies in this book and all have turned out fabulous! Most items for the recipies are probably already in your kitchen. The dishes are extremely easy to make and I especially like the cooking tips which tell you what part of the dish can be made in advance so you have more time to spend with your friends and family. This is a great book and I am buying another as a gift to a friend!

More selective than Michelin, Zagat or any lesser known compilations of Europe's best. Hard to disagree with the selections to the list, plus counting how many you've hit in your travels is an automatic reaction to the beautifully layed out publication (I've made it to 37 of the 200). Why not more from Portugal?

Chaney is perhaps the pre-eminent scholar of the cultural influences and relationships between England and Italy in the Early Modern period. This book is more a series of studies than a coherent survey, but is based on expert research not available in other works. Chaney explores the role politics, students, travelers and exiles played in the development of the Grand Tour of Europe, one of 18th-century England's most prominent educational institutions. Though a background in Renaissance England and Italy would be helpful, it is rewarding reading for anyone interested in tourist travel, the Grand Tour, the modern Anglo-American love of Italy, and even the semester abroad, all of which are outgrowths of the developments that Chaney explores.

Without getting too technical, Ervin Laszlo explains one of the most essential sciences of today: general evolutionary theory. This is not the evolution of Darwin, mind you. It is the evolution of ALL things, from matter to life to societies to the cosmos itself. A good starter book.

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 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.
