Average review score:

OUSTANDING AND INFORMATIVE
This book offers an outstanding view of Clemson football. It was the most interesting book I have seen about Clemson. I highly recommed it and have given it to many devoted Clemson fans as a gift. Needless to say they all enjoyed it. It is great to learn so much about Clemson from such a great teacher (Bob Bradley). You could not have a more qualified source.


Death Valley National Park
Published in Map by Automobile Club of Southern California (July, 2001)
Author: Automobile Club Of Southern California

With this, you get your "just deserts".
Death Valley - land of contrasts, a place of extremes, an unexpected haven of biodiversity, a photographer's paradise, and the largest national park outside Alaska. In a place this large and diverse, naturally, you will need something to let you know where you are, where you want to go next, and what to expect when you get there. And this map and guide is an excellent means of doing just that.

First of all, it contains a map of considerable detail, showing all roads down to those that are doubtful whether they even exist, with mileages shown to the tenth of a mile, points of interest, mines, springs, mountain ranges & ridges, flats, valleys, etc. Also, there is an extensive index to all features shown.

In addition, a tremendous amount of information about the park is provided, including its geological history, human habitation (which includes four separate Native American groups during the last 9000 years, and whites who arrived as part of the mining "boom" of the second half of the 19th century, first to prospect for precious metals, and later for borax, of 20-mule-team fame, and finally to establish tourist facilities), climate, flora & fauna (nearly 1000 plant species and numerous reptiles, birds and mammals, which exist thanks to numerous springs in the valley, which compensate somewhat for the lack of rainfall, and and also because of adaptations to the hot, dry conditions), road information, desert travel precautions (critical in an area where temperatures reach 120 degrees F. in the summer), fees, supplies & services, campground & lodging info, and detailed information on 49 points of interest, including viewpoints and scenic drives, ghost towns and mining ruins, trails (the longest of which is seven miles to Telescope Peak, at 11,000' the highest point in the park - unfortunately, there are only a few others, mostly of short duration) and other unusual features, including Racetrack Valley, home of the famous "erratic" rocks (which leave tracks behind them, but it is still a mystery as to how they move), and Scotty's Castle, a mansion at the north end of the valley, which has guided tours. There are also several nice color photos included.

Since this is one of my favorite places to visit (I also drew the 7 1/2' quad map which includes Shoreline Butte when I was a cartographic technician with the U S Geological Survey), I recommend both Death Valley and this map & guide, which is probably the best reference you could have with you, short of a guide book.


Death Valley: A Jack Presta Mystery (Five Star Standard Print Christian Fiction Series)
Published in Hardcover by Five Star (June, 2000)
Author: Sandy Dengler
Average review score:

A Wonderfully Crafted Mystery
Jack Prestor, National Parks Special Agent, is sent to Death Valley to investigate the murder of an accountant. The accountant had been investigating the disappearance of funds from the park. Ev Brant is sent in to help Jack by continuing the investigation of the funds where the accountant left off. Before they've even been there 24 hours, another body is found buried at the scene of the murder. With an attacker trying to stop them from leaving the valley alive, they continue investigating, hoping to find the killer before he or she gets them. To make matters worse, a group of aging Hell's Angles has taken over the park, and Jack is caught in the crossfire between the park rangers and the bikers. It seems that the park will erupt in violence before Jack can even solve his first mystery.

This is a good mystery that kept me guessing until the last minute. The clues and red herrings are everywhere. Not to give anything away, but I didn't even interpret all the clues correctly. Yet, everything fit together perfectly in the end. The characters were really intriguing, too. I loved some of the interaction between Jack and Ev. I highly recommend this excellent book.
