I think this book was great. I think it was fun to read. It must of been hard to go through all the chemo, x-rays, and surgery. I think patti had alot of courage to get a job on what happened to her, all these people died like teresa, and kelly around her while she worked in the hematology oncology department. I think I probably would of liked the crutches better than the artificial leg, because it makes noise when you walk. I wonder if Patti trull is still alive, because her book got published in 1983 and the book ended when she was 30 years old. I read this book for a book report in English. We had to do a oral presentation, I think I did good. I am in 8th grade. I enjoyed the book alot.

Now in an updated and expanded second edition, Jane Ockershausen's One-Day Trips Through History is an impressive and "user friendly" compendium of more than two hundred museums, battlefields, plantations, colonial churches, monuments, historic homes, forts, and parks -- all within 150 miles of Washington, D.C. Perfect for weekend side trips and one-day "getaway" vacations, One-Day Trips Through History is ideal for planning chronological, geographical, or seasonal excursions to pivotal and notable places of interest with respect to American history ranging from the arrival of the first European colonists at Jamestown, Virginia, to the bloody battlefields of the Civil War, to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. Enhanced with "user friendly" information on the recreational aspects of these various and diverse day-tripper options, One-Day Trips Through History is an informed and informative travel guide.

this book is very informative on what could be termed an "american castle". The book details how our monument of freedom has changed through its existence.

This book was a great help for me in my studies in the DC area. Well organized and easy to use. As a student in the area I was happy to find a book that not only includes things for adults in the capital but interesting things for college students as well.

An inspired concept - that presidents in crisis are in an "adrenaline rush". If you doubt that, read this book. May chose tightly written selections that get right to the point - the nation (or the world or even his job) is at stake and the President must make his move. Should Washington use troops to quell an uprising? Can JFK get missiles out of Cuba without a world war? I was fascinated by the summary of Nixon's struggle to duck Watergate blame. The beauty of this volume (like the others) is that you are exposed to great writing you might not otherwise have seen. This volume easily holds its own with the others - it's still survival - just of a different nature. In the interest of accuracy, enlarge the cover shot to see the actual list of authors. The catalog description is a bit off, no Shelby Foote or RFK work - but plenty of strong stuff you'll enjoy.

This book was a God sent to me. It answered all my
concerns. Do not start a business without it!

I used this guide to hike the Oregon section of the PCT in 1993 and found it very user-friendly, highly practical while on the trail and full of interesting background information. Among the most important aspect of the guide for me was the quality and reliability of the topographic maps, thoughtfully place by the Publishers so I could take the pages out and use them in a waterproof cover for each stage as I walked it. The hints on water supplies and campsites were essential and I was able to plan my route, timings, food drops and campsites for the entire trail; this was especially important for me as my budget and time free were limited. As far as I remember, the only thing that was incorrect was that there was no longer a bus from Bridge of the Gods into Portland. Not bad. I would recommend this guide to anybody planning to hike the PCT.

Just returned from an extended camping and hiking trip in Washington and Oregon. This book was GREAT. We used it every day to find where to stay and what to expect, and to chose our evening domiciles. We found it to be totally accurate and fun to read too. Nice one. I plan to get the other Stienstra camping guides too now that I know the quality of the info.

The book is valuable and understandable. I am doing research in preparation to a move to the west coast of Oregon. Professor Komar takes a complicated issue and makes it understandable for a lay person. He is clear about what level of evidence exists for various subjects and is clear when expressing his opinion. The book very much answered just about all the questions I had.

This book was so good I gave it to my childrens elementary library. My sons class was studying native americans and this was just perfect. The artwork was simply beautiful. A very talented artist.
