great book , a little short , but it tells you alot , like were the lambeau leap originated, and alot of other intresting things ,it starts off from the beggining of the franchise , to the present day .this book only has 96 pages however , that is the only bad part .it also tells you about hwo the packer fans are the most faithful and about the love they have for the team . this book is great for any young packer fan who doesent know much about the team . i highly recommend this book.

As a die-hard Packer fan, I savored every minute of my team's return to glory in the mid 90's. This book chronicles and highlights the long and often difficult road that the Pack traveled back to the top. From the days of Vince Lombardi to Mike Holmgren and all the time in between, Dick Schaap has got the greatest team to ever step on a field well covered. An absolute must for any Green Bay Packer fan!

Ralph Shanks is my math teacher and he gave me an urge to read the book. From personal expiriences to interviews. 5 stars.

These annual guides published by Chesapeake Bay Magazine are really nice. The guide includes a lot of detailed information about the various ports including marinas and restaurants. Also includes sections of maps for each area. The spiral binding makes the book easy to handle and use.

This book contains everything that an experienced kayaker needs to know to plan a trip to Alaska's Inside Passage. For those who already know where they want to paddle, the first chapter and apendices still provide great local information and advice on gear, clothing, and techniques that are most appropriate for this area. Anyone who will be paddling in these waters should read these sections of the book not only because they will answer many of the difficult logistical questions but because they will make your trip safer and more enjoyable while helping reduce your impact on the area. For those seeking ideas on where to paddle, the rest of the book offers a wealth of suggested routes without getting so specific that you lose all sense of personal discovery.

As a sea kayak guide based in Gustavus I have paddled most of the northern routes described in Jim Howard's book over the past 20 years and I can report that his descriptions and advice are current and accurate.

Something that really bothers me about some guidebooks I have seen is that they name specific campsites and suggest day-by-day itineraries for a few selected routes; they are like a journal of the author's trip. This approach leads to over-use of a few areas and sites and diminishes the sense of discovery that is one of this wild area's greatest attractions; following one of those guidebooks is more like taking someone else's trip than one's own. Not only that, but many of the best sites along a route are (thankfully) NOT named in those guidebooks, so kayakers can have a better trip by ignoring those authors' detailed suggestions.

Jim Howard took a different approach. His routes cover most of the region and for each he gives a description of the area and an assessment of the difficulty of the trip. He names the hazards and gives helpful logistical advice and a general description of the route. This is just what I look for when visiting a new area. I want to know whether I am getting in over my head and how to get to the area. I don't want to know exactly where someone else paddled and camped and what they saw. Finding my own campsites, wildlife viewing areas, and special places is what sea kayaking in a wild place is all about.

Because Southeast Alaska is a wild place with plenty of hazards far from help, it's wise to have solid sea kayaking skills if you are alone or leading less experienced paddlers here. Therefore, this book doesn't cover basic sea kayaking and navigation. Beginners will need to find this information in one of the many other general sea kayaking books and by going with experienced paddlers.

Jim Howard does an excellent job of giving helpful area-specific information while preserving opportunities for wilderness self-discovery. I can tell he's explored the area thoroughly and talked to lots of local folks. Get this book if you're coming here.

i thought the book was very informative as to how to play the guitar and what chords are what.....

Excellent documentary of early waterfowling history. Many rare and previously unpublished photographs of decoys, duck clubs and hunting scenes (ncluding several photos taken by Kodak himself at the turn of the last century.) An easy and interesting read that will delight anyone interested in waterfowling history.

A wonderful journey into and beneath one of the most gorgeous bays known to man, this book includes a wealth of historical Hawaiiani combined with environmental information regarding the bay and is supported by breathtaking photography! Liysa and Don King have combined to create the most complete and lovely book yet written regarding Hanauma Bay!

This paperback of 240 pages includes 122 pages of wildflowers/weeds, etc. of this Peninsula area, all carefully illustrated with black-and-white drawings for identification with comments. A detailed description of the Peninsula weather is included with statistics on temperatures and rainfall for over 20 observing stations and shows six distinct climate zones within this 5 x 10 mi. peninsula area in southwestern Los Angeles County. (The author is a meteorologist.) Other subjects included in the book are a bird list and other wildlife in the area, geology of the area, the history of the peninsula from Indian times to recent developments, origins of names in the South Bay, names and locations of the many canyons and trails on the peninsula, and an introduction to the identification of tidepool and seashore creatures. There is an index to the plants (color coded), a bibliography, and an addendum for recently discovered plants. The book has been praised as the local "bible" for nature lovers (and sometimes for researchers). Other short chapters tell of "Escapes and Fires," of edible plants, The book has photographs from the early days, some never before published. [Above description by the author]

This incisive, interpretative history of a New Zealand region is clearly written and offers a new perspective on colonial history. Comparisons between the 'New Zealand' and the 'United States' frontiers of the nineteenth century are clear; both shared very similar ideals, dreams and hopes. The book is still available in New Zealand and provides a rewarding insight into the life, times and development of a small Western nation in the South Pacific.
