I have read many books about the Alamo. This is by far the best

Sure, everybody is concerned about the endangered status of whooping cranes, ocelots, and bald eagles -- and so is Linda Campbell. But her book --Endangered and Threatened Animals of Texas -- deals with many more species than those high-profile ones with which the public has already become familiar. Toads, bats, snakes, even cave-dwelling spiders are every bit as important to the great web of life as are their more celebrated fellow creatures; and Linda Campbell is quick to point this out. Her book, in addition to its beautiful photography and well-researched zoological data, contains workable management plans for the conservation of ALL of the Lone Star State's threatened species -- even the less cuddly ones. Anyone who truly wants to know what animals are in danger, and what they can do to help preserve them, should read this book.

As a rabid anti rat. choice and game theorist, I was initially skeptical of this book. But I think it introduces fair ideas in laymen's terms. Now I know my enemy just a little bit better, and he smells like peanut butter.

James Young, one of the American military's first area specialists, has written what may well be the most interesting and definitive book on recent Korean-American diplomatic and military relations in print today. Young, a former Army Colonel, spent almost 20 years in Asia, including 14 in Korea, where he was an advisor to five American ambassadors and several Secretaries of Defense. In this appealing memoir, he writes with the expertise of an old Korea hand.

After four years of training in Korean language and culture, Young was a first hand witness and participant as American diplomats convinced South Korean President Park Chung-hee not to develop his own nuclear weapons. The lessons from this experience might well be of use today in dealing with North Korea's nuclear ambitions.

From the perspective of a military attache,Young provides new insights into the intrigue and behind-the-scenes efforts to derail President Jimmy Carter's troop withdrawal policies. His on-the-scene account of the military coup of 1979, and subsequent events, is extraordinarily authoritative and comprehensive, and provides new information for historians. He provides personal observations on the imposition of martial law and the Kwangju incident that followed, when Korean military forces ran amok during protests in the city and killed and wounded hundreds of civilians. For the first time, he details how the United States was caught flat-footed, and how policy makers at the time failed to respond, thus sowing the seeds of anti-Americanism in the years to come.

Additionally, Young's insider account of dealing with the senior leadership in North Korea in both diplomatic negotiations and business settings makes a major contribution to understanding the internal dynamics within this secretive state.

"Eye on Korea" is a great mixture of contemporary military and diplomatic history. It offers stories that are entertaining, provocative, and often humorous. Those interested in the region, the issues, and modern Korea will value this book.

I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. Jim Gramon shares great stories about some of his legendary friends, Kinky Friedman, Liz Carpenter, John Henry Faulk and J. Frank Dobie. They're all Texas and all fun, like the Ben Green story about the last trail drive through Dallas, over curbs and cars.

A native Texan myself, I found myself laughing all through this book. I caught continual glimpses of friends and relatives (and, yes, even myself!) in this wonderful little novel that explores Texas, football, and Texans.

However, it is not just a comedy that pokes fun at Texans. Nosiree! It deals specifically with Depression-Era Texas and makes us take a disturbing look at ourselves. How can someone callously believe that other humans are "just hobos"? Do we truly believe that appearances are more important than reality? What will one do for Love; is it ok to hurt others to pursue one's own pleasure?

This is a most thought-provoking work and well worth the time to read.

Very Good Read for anyone looking for information on KPRC TV 2. Has information on the Houston Television Station's history. (Please Note:This Book only covers from 1949 to 1988)

I got this tape a few years ago and listened to it every now and then. When I would drive the little one around I would put in this tape to listen to. Now that he is old enough to ask for what he wanted to listen to he very often asks to listen to 'bird songs'. Now at home when he hears birds singing outside he says excitedly, 'Shh, quiet. Bird songs.' He is even able to pick out a mockingbird song from a bluejay, not bad for a 2 1/2 year old!

I do like the bird songs and they sound fine. but the voice over narration before each song sounds like the guy is in another room. This is not a condition of the tapes age as I noticed this as soon as I unwrapped the tape and plopped it in the tape player. This is the only flaw on this tape, not much but there you go. The cassette comes with 12 small photos of the birds in question on the tape. The birds are the: Northern Mockingbird, Dickcissel, Summer Tanager, Northern Bobwhite, Northern Parula, Morning Dove, Pine Warbler, Carolina Wren, Painted Bunting, Lesser Nighthawk, Red-eyed Vireo, Hermit Thrush. The tape then ends with a 'dawn chorus' of south Texas bird song.

As soon as I heard the Pine Warbler, I recognized that sound immediately and it brought a smile to face having heard that bird for so long and not knowing what it was called.
