This book is an outstanding true account of a trip made by Zane Grey and a plainsman, Buffalo Jones - one of the last. Jones was a famous sportsmen in North America at the turn of the 20th century and Grey a famous author of adventure stories. Unlike many of Grey's fictional novels of the old west, this is an account of a trip made to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon about 1908, for the purpose of tracking and capturing mountain lions. In those days, the North Rim was famous for the number and size of cougars - one mentioned in the book was 10' long, tip of tail to nape of neck, and weighed 300 pounds. The story is riveting with many details of the Arizona high desert and Grand Canyon areas of that era and gives a wonderful account of the Ponderosa Pine forest now known as the Kaibab National Forest. The details given about the behavior of the mountain lion are well worth finding a copy of this classic work. Grey includes a chapter (XV) entitled "Jones on Cougars", in which he relates the wisdom of this plainsman on the species - gained through a long life in the wilderness including a sojourn as a game warden in the Yellowstone National Park, where he captured numerous cougars alive and killed seventy-two. Although modern views of the mountain lion seem to consider this animal more like an oversized, undomesticated sort of house cat, after reading this book you will definitely treat them with appropriate dignity and caution.

This book is 100% great - it goes in to evey aspect you could want to know about the relationship of Law and medicine. Areen is a great author and continues to teach at Georgetown Law Center in D.C. - I have read this book twice - and it's just great.

The three rules should be followed by everyone in an organization that hopes to enlist others to achieve worthwhile purposes. Briefly, the three rules are: 1) Everyone contributes; 2) no put-downs; and 3) keep all agreements. Dr. Riley not only explains the value of these simple, yet profound rules, she also illustrates the impact they can have on any group trying to achieve harmony and alignment. Also included are tips and tools to implement the three rules. Dr. Riley's personal mission is to "meaningfully contribute to the financial health and emotional intelligence of today's work place", and I feel that anyone - in business, govenment, or family - who practices the three rules will help her realize the purpose of her book.

I read this book for my Classic Ethnographies seminar at school. It is by far one of the most interesting ethnographies I have had the pleasure of reading. It combines ethnography with history and gives the reader a good overall view of the Iroquois. I can't recommend this book enough. If you only read one book on the Iroquois, this should be that book!

Learning to Let Go touched my heart and helped me loosen my grip on a child that was a God send to our family through adoption. He was five months old when he came into our lives and after years of trying to have and child, adoption procedures, and many emotions, I was determined that nothing was going to take him away, not even growing up. My husband and I had both been only children, there would be no aunts, uncles or cousins and probably no more children. "Over protection" was an understatement. No one could interfeer with the family that had been created. Carol's and Elisa's book made growing up an acceptable reality and continues to help me untie the apron.

Every Christmas, I try to find a book that will reflect the true meaning of the holdiay spirit. Well, I found it in Mr. Morgan's book. In this world of trying to find the perfect gifts, we learn that the perfect gifts are those within us. Beautifully written and illustrated, the book is an easy read and a wonderful way to spread the true meaning of Christmas.

I ordered this book as a holiday gift for my partner. After I received it, I could not stop reading it long enough to wrap it!

We have found lots of yummy new dishes, thanks to the generous vegetarian sections. Though with all of the beautiful photographs and erotic stories to distract us, I'm still surprised that we managed to actually cook anything!

The Daughters of the Moon company has been a pleasure to deal with, and I hope they find great success with this unique and incredible book.

This team of authors has effectively catogorized experience as a tool for training managers. They have a very clear understanding that most of what managers learn is done through hard fought pain and effort - rarely the classroom.

Perhaps most useful is the chapter on learning from good, bad or indifferent bosses. The best part about the book is that these authors both understand the academic, social science research behind effective management, and they have blended it with hard ball qualitative interviews with real people in real job situations. Regretably, they don't give enough emphasis on how to manage one's own job experience.

All in all, an excellent tool. I have reread it five times and consult it regularly.

From damage by fire or water to handling the emotional impact of library systems which come to a crashing halt, this provides the working librarian with a structure for planning for possible library disasters. Chapters cover the basics of handling damaged collections and systems, and provide excellent depth and detail on the recovery options and solutions to common problems.

Life's Lessons gives a needed motivational kick to get you growing again -especially if you're in a rut. It's a shorthand formula for remembering why we put ourselves through tough times and why we postpone or deny certain pleasures. Basically it's all about wanting to change and then changing-professionally, personally, or whatever you need. It's a small manual, but it tells some big ideas - like how to create your own paradise (how to really experience the richness available to you right now), how to give up the good for the better, and what serious commitment can do for you. There are questions to ask yourself -such as 6 questions for taking calculated risks: What's the worst that can happen? What's the chance that will happen? If it did, can I live with it? What am I afraid won't happen? What's the benefit of not taking the risk? What's the benefit of taking the risk?

There are reminders about listening to people around you and the power of your words. It's a quick read with lingering benefits. I plan to re-read it yearly in a personal retreat and evaluation time.
