Very well written,well documented. Much more objective than others of this genre.

The late Alden Hayes engagingly weaves true stories of the cultures and individuals who have populated the Chiricahua Mountains, from mammoth hunters of the Clovis culture who arrived more than 11,000 years ago down to ranchers and farmers at the beginning of World War II. Various Native American cultures, including the Apaches who had migrated into the Borderlands by about 1600 A.D.; Spanish explorers; and gringo miners, ranchers, outlaws, and homesteaders followed those initial hunters in a swirl of history that at times involved substantial conflict and bloodshed. All but the book's first chapter take place in historic times, with the bulk detailing the years between 1860 and 1920 when figures such as Cochise, Geronimo, the Earps, the Clantons, and "Curley Bill" Brocius were on center stage. Important locations include Fort Bowie, Galeyville, Paradise, Portal, and Rodeo. Hayes' book will be most meaningful to those with at least passing acquaintance with Southeastern Arizona from the Dragoon Mountains east through the Sulphur Springs Valley and Chiricahua Mountains to the San Simon Valley, Peloncillo Mountains, and Animas Valley of New Mexico. If, as I have, you have visited Chiricahua National Monument, gone birding in Cave Creek Canyon, stopped at the monument to Geronimo's surrender in Skeleton Canyon, viewed a staged shootout in Tombstone, or yearned to learn more about the days of the Butterfield Stage and Apache Pass, this is the book for you. Hayes admirably includes a short section describing the geological and ecological setting of Southeastern Arizona, including three maps at various scales. In several sections of the book, Hayes also provides photographs of some of the many people whose lives, difficulties, and adventures he aptly describes. One minor criticism is that even more map detail would have been useful for tracing the exact movements of people through the Chiricahuas and adjacent ranges and valleys down into Sonora and Chihuahua, although sufficient detail is present to see the major outlines of those journeys. I enjoyed Hayes' book because it taught me why Portal, Paradise, and Rodeo are there at all and revealed the human, often tragic, struggles of those who settled (or were displaced from) Southeastern Arizona. I highly recommend this book to those with similar interests.

This book is a very excellent if not the best reference that any engineering geologist should have in rock stability analisys

This is the premier reference book for rock slope stability analysis and construction. Even though the book is more than 25 years old the, guidelines are relevant and useful for modern-day rock engineering.

For a location that gets a lot of birders there is very little in the way of recordings available for Costa Rica. Don't let the title fool you, a great number of the birds presented on this set are also on the Pacific Slope. The quality of the recordings is very good, and over two-hundred species are resented. I found it very helpful in learning the calls of the birds of Costa Rica

Want to train yourself to recognize the 25% of the Costa Rican birds species by its voices? Then, you have to listen both CD's. I heard them few months ago when my fauna teacher put emphasis in the bird identification (I'm a forestry student --Instituto Tecnológico de Costa Rica). Sometimes, when you are in a dense forest or thicket you can only hear the birds, so, you need a non-visual way to identify them....and here it is. I bought the "Indicator Birds of the Costa Rican Cloud Forest" (from the same Laboratory of Ornithilogy) and I hear it in my house to train my ears in the identification of non common birds.

Buy it, I'm gonna buy it too.

This synthesis of the Cambrian through lower Middle Ordovician in continental slope facies in the Taconianan allochthons proposes three regionally extensive changes in lithology and rock color. The area covered includes eastern Pennsylvania, central New Jersey, eastern New York, northwestern Vermont, southern Quebec, and part of western Newfoundland. The publication has iii + 40 pages, 12 figures, 2 appendices, and 81/2 x 11" format.

Though this book was first published in 1908, it remains as absolutely one of the all-time great classics in identifying and learning about the trees of the Pacific region of the United States and Canada. The detailed descriptions of the trees, their leaves, their bark, and so on are very clear. The book is unexcelled in giving precise locations of where a particular species of tree can be found, and is also unexcelled in describing the kind of climate, habitat, and soil a particular tree likes. Almost unique among books is an attempt to give an approximate longevity of each tree. True, some of the longevity figures would now be considered inaccurate today, but Sudworth truly did his best to secure the best available information of his times. Sudworth's practical experiences in his tree identification skills truly show in his writings. He allows for variations to be expected, as well as mentioning rules of thumbs and practical ways to help learn to identify the trees. The line drawings of the leaves, fruits or cones, and seeds of the trees are among the very, very best I've ever seen---such exquisite details are to be seen in the drawings! This book has been so useful for me that I'm going to have to find a new---or at least a used copy in good shape---to replace my present but worn copy. For the serious or beginning or advanced dendrologist, this book is an abslolute must in his or her personal library. It's such a great book that it really could use a six-star rating. Sudworth would be bursting with pride to know how useful his book has been for not just me, but for many others as well. It's truly one of the most scholarly and greatest of any tree books ever published, and I highly recommend it.

This poetry anthology by 12 Colorado writers is a real keeper. The backgrounds of the poets are as diverse as their poetry. Whatever your taste in poetry you are sure to find something that speaks to you. Humor, regret, nature, politicss, love, and a dash of magic are all represented in light and darkness. The diversity of the poetry is amazing considering the writers all reside on the common ground of the Western Slope of Colorado. Wallace Stegner, dean of writers of the West, wrote that "...no place is a place until it has had a poet..." If that is true, the Western Slope of Colorado is truly a place thanks to these poets. This collection, now in it's second edition, is a must have for anyone remotely interested in contemporary poetry of the first rank.

An epic thriller of unmatched profundity! The debris-slope has never been so slippery, the carbonate never so fine grained! While Sheehan more than "deposits" his prose, we would be truly remiss to ignore the writing contributions of the eclecticly-minded "et al," who makes us question our very basic assumptions about the Devonian Age, especially undermining our generally held beilef about the so-called "Antelope Peak." After reading this work you'll be looking forward to enjoying the best days of the antelope, disabused of your notions that the antelopes better days had passed.

As for the climactic ending, I won't spoil the surprise, suffice it to say that Isolated Carbonated Bodies do not stay isolated forvever, especially those composed of stacked debris-flow!

A great read for anyone involved in the mining industry. Very clear and concise, Dr. Kliche put out another book!

If you love to ski and want to improve faster than traditional methods will allow, this book is for you. Rather than showing you a standard and having you try to produce the movements that meet the external standard, Mr. Heggie teaches you how to teach yourself the small simple component movements which when combined produce the desired end result skill. The lessons are easy to follow and produce immediate results. Mr. Heggie makes the book very interesting and easy to read by including real life examples of skiers that he has trained in every chapter. I would highly recommend this book for any skier to take his enjoyment of skiing to the next level.
