Young people will be delighted in addition to being informed. And even adults will be charmed by the personal history of Gwinn Vivian, who grew up in glorious, mysterious Chaco Canyon and became the "living history" reporter on this amazing place. We are so lucky to have this book to enlighten our minds and our hearts.

This is an amazing work whose only fault is that it was not published by a larger house. Drury clearly outlines his argument against the commonly held notion of a balance of nature. He finds the idea of ecological communities succeeding to climax a distasteful one, and rightly so. Drury advocates actually thinking about problems rather than hiding behind an orthodoxy that seems to know all the answers.

He realizes that the world is a continually changing, dynamic place with an unpredictable quirkiness. It is not, as is so often assumed, a world where "ecosystems", left to their natural states, will go back to what they "ought" to be. He argues that we should conserve the world because we can, and not because of abstract notions of the intrinsic value of life. We want to save the world because we like critters, and we should fess up to it.

Drury was not a scheming wise-user, as may be inferred from his criticism of the environmentalist movement. He just wanted people to think about what they had learned about ecology in the century since Clements and Forbes.

Think people think!

This book will eventually become a collector's item. It is full of odd bits of memorabilia from American legacy of television, film, drama, newspapers, bestsellers, fashion world, soap opera, literature, radio, etc. Remember Andy Capp or Ally Oop or Sad Sack? Then you will know the answer to the following clue: "Bowling place plus exclamation minus 'S'?" Like BINGO, this book offers a word game, suitable for young and old, which can be incorporated into almost any type of party, family gathering or recreational event. Or it can be played by one person, like Solitaire, on a rainy day.

My nine year old grandson found this book interesting and useful. He is already exploring some of the clever, do-able activity/experiment suggestions. I recommend this book to any budding scientist.

I found this book to be very interesting. I found references made to my 5th Great Grandfather Samuel Riley and his son Richard Riley. It was very interesting and fasinating reading history on your own ancestors and their ways of life. My cousin found this book fasinating after she read parts of mine, that she went and bought it for herself.

Leave it to Chi Chi to make a great game even more entertaining. Here is a great collection of games for singles, groups, even tournaments to enhance one's outing and even provide competition while on the range.

For instance, there's an outing format called Tombstone where each player is given target score (3/4 handicap) and when that score is reached, stop there and mark it with tee and paper showing he reached that. Player that gets furthest wins.

Or Bucket, a driving range competiton awarding points for accuracy with the longest club.

Great fun stuff with wide variety, and improvement hints throughout by a golfer we all know works hard at his game, but has fun doing it.

Ernest Thompson Seton was the founder of a youth organization based on American Indian Culture. His group, the Woodcraft Indians, was an inspiration for the Boy Scouts, and Seton became one of the main leaders of the BSA. His many works have long served as an inspiration to many. This is the first biography on him in a long time and is well deserved. It is unfortunate that his many works are today ignored.

More than anything else I've ever read, this story captures the essence of Christmas. It is very inspirational, well written and delivers great impact.

I highly recommed it for readers of all ages, all backgrounds, and all religions.

This is a keeper you will want to share.

Thomas Goslin, the founding pastor of the Community Church (English Speaking - primarily US origin) of Madrid (Spain), makes a powerful presentation for a form of church planting that is not tied to immediate or future plans for the building, buying, and maintaining a traditional brick and mortar church. Drawing from Tom's abundant experience with traditional congregations and the Community Church of Madrid, he explores the benefits to the ministry and mission of his large congregation worshipping on a permanent basis in a variety of locations, all for much fewer resources than required by traditional building-based congregations. A well balanced book, Tom does not hold up this approach as appropriate for every situation, but he makes a compelling case for broader use of "The Church Without Walls. This book is a good read for anyone interested in church planting, church growth, evangelism, and mission.
