You can read about the whole Dinosaur dominating group multiple times and always be left stunned, thrilled, or terrified. The once in a lifetime island vacatoin goes bad after a hurricanes consequences like power outages which will have your nose in this book endlessly.

This is a great book, written not from a journalistic point of view nor from an official point of view, but from that of somebody who was a fire boss for over a decade on the Grand Canyon's North Rim fire crew. Written as fiction, although it is based on actual events with only the names changed. Edward Abbey, who worked in a fire tower on the North Rim for a couple of seasons, makes a thinly-disguised cameo appearance here as "Abner". Effectively captures the work, the culture, and the humor of forest firefighters in a way that no other book I've read has. If you're at all interested in the subject I'd recommend picking this up.

This book is superb. Packed with spectacular photography and interesting essays regarding Mount Desert Island's history, geography, and ecology. The print quality is first rate; kudos to the publisher. A very inspiring volume which reminds us how important it is to have places like Mount Desert Island and Acadia. Highly recommended from a resident of Maine.

My Grandparents lived in Florham Park when I was a child. Now my child's Grandparents live there. I thought I knew about Florham Park. I learned so much about the history of Florham Park from this book it's amazing. Learn where the name, the land, and more all come from. A great book to celebrate the 100th anniversary with! A GREAT gift for anyone who lives/lived in Florham Park!

I love this book!! If you enjoy visiting the different National Parks our country has to offer - this book is for you. (The National Parks Passport is also a must!) I purchased this book over the others available because a portion of the funding goes to support the NPS. This is the same book available at the NPS Bookstores. I know you will enjoy it.

Florida Camping is packed full of great directions, reviews, and a 1-10 rating system. It looks condensed, but what you get is factual, to the point, and complete. Whether you are an RV camper or a tent camper, you can find the perfect campground in this book. You'll need to mark the page or lose it forever, there are so many campgrounds listed! Included in the reviews are local trivia, like "a kid was nearly eaten by an alligator here", or "this is the only area that rare white squirrels frequent", to "there's a fantastic bar-b-q place just down the road". Thank you!

Why buy a library of books to learn how to get out of doors? This wise and funny book with the drab title covers all aspects of backpacking, camping, cycling, canoeing for beginners and experts. The recipes are so much better than any of the other so-called "outdoor cooking" books that you'll jettison the others with the weekly garbage and revel in such glorious challenges as this: "Baking a chocolate cake while backpacking is like sex on Wednesday afternoon: gratuitous but lots of fun." The chapter on the Internet is the first of its kind anywhere for outdoor types, and does it all in plain English. No cyberbabble here. Star-gazing, equipment, and fishing guides, resources and checklists, and, ta-da!, TEAR-OUT sections (recipes and checklists) so you can actually burn this book and have it too! These guys can write AND hike, cook AND eat, get lost AND found, and even teach you how to lie in a hammock! (It's an art: you could look it up!) The authors are experts but never make you feel like a klutz. You end up wishing they'd take you along, and that's the mark of a terrific book.

If you're planning a visit to Yosemite, Sequoia, the Redwoods, Joshua Tree, Death Valley, Lassen, or any of California's great national parks, and if you love to hike, this book is perfect. We spent a week in Yosemite last year, picking and choosing from this book's great trails. We did a long day-hike (8-12 miles) every day. Each one of the recommended trails was exactly as the author described. Without this book, we never could have decided which trails to hike in the park. We just came back from Death Valley and we used the book again. It's great! You really get your money's worth here.

Where are all those great fishing holes? Where do you take visitors when they want to go Steelhead in early November? This is the book you. Find those holes, just around your block, ( really!!!), or just a few miles away. Thanks Terry.....

Habitat, social structure, diet, rut, life and death. The book has all the basics a person needs to go out to find the elusive Roosevelt Elk. This book is well written by someone who truly knows and understands their Elk. I learn something new every time I read it. The photos of mature bulls is very impressive!
