This is a great booklet in Spanish to help people understand what homosexuality is all about.

Buen librito en español para ayudar a comprender de que se trata la homosexualidad.

As a former Inn owner I found the book extremely informative. I actually purchased the book as a gift for a friend who is opening a Bed N Breakfast. I was very impressed with the wide range of topics covered. Such as buying in bulk, reservation scripts, cancellation policys, when a laundry service makes sense, hiring employees, and the "do you have what it takes to run a B&B test". I could have saved a lot of time and money if this book had been available when I was first starting out.

This book is a must for any police officer especially park law enforcement. Hoping for a new version soon!

As a children's librarian in a public library, I am always looking for fun and interesting flannel board stories. Cooking Up a Story has many wonderful stories with very attractive patterns. The art is much better than most flannel board sources, in my experience. Also included are detailed instructions for story related puppets and recipes. This book has been so useful, I can't wait to order Super Story Telling by Carol Catron and Barbara Parks also.

As a kid, Davy wanted to be just like Daniel Boone. He hunted the wilderness, protected people from indians, and even joined the government. Soon, he fought in the Alamo, and became a Texan HERO!

John McKinney will never be accused of writing comprehensive hiking guides. Most of his books cover a broad area of California, and don't mention every trail one might encounter. His books do, however, cover the some of the best trails in California, and those with limited time would do well to consult his guides.

This guide to the national parks of California is no exception. Avid hikers with a lot of time to explore the a Park might want to supplement McKinney's book with a local guide, but for the vast majority of visitors, with limited time, this should be the first book they look to for hiking ideas. The book covers every national park, monument, and historical site in the state. As might be expected, Yosemite receives the fullest treatment (27 hikes) while Cabrillo National Monument, Manzanar Historical Site, and the Eugene O'Neil Homestead receive less attention. Every hike description, however, is full of historical and scenic attractions, includes a map, and provides sound directions to find the trailhead.

It's hard to argue with the content of the book. Of the 150 hikes McKinney describes, I've hiked over 40, and all deserve to be included in a book of this sort. One could easily add other walks to this list (where is the trail to Little Baldy in Sequoia) but nothing should be excluded. A good guide and worth the price.

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.

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.

An incredibly beautiful book if you can find it. Really shows what a special place Death Valley is.
