Heart wrenching but the truth as it is. she bring life to something people would rather ignore. Children who were swept under a rug are given a voice by Jennifer Thoth. I love this book.             50 Hiking Trails Portland and Northwest Oregon1 review Don Lowe, Roberta Lowe Touchstone Press, 1986 Someday, we'll have an update, eh? If there's certain kinds of books that must be consistently updated, it'd be reference books, especially place references. I keep this book near and dear to my heart because it has great hikes, particularly ones that have small campsites that once the day-hikers go home are quiet and nice. But thee lack of an update is glaring. For example, the Table Rock (Molalla River Valley one) hike ...             Oregon river tours2 reviews John Garren Touchstone Press, 1976 Best River Cruisers Guide to Oregon Although few paddlers from outside the region seem to be in on the secret, Oregon offers an excellent diversity of multi-day whitewater trips. Even more amazing is the fact that you can find something to do just about any time of the year and with easy logistics there are several overnight trips that regional paddlers do over long weekends. John Garren gives you the information you need to plan ...             COMPETING ON INTERNET TIME23 reviews David B. Yoffie Touchstone Press, 1998 Highly Recommended! Michael A. Cusumano and David B. Yoffie have written a play-by-play of the competition between Netscape and Microsoft in an enormously detailed book that became an instant classic. Adding to the insider scoop, the authors take the opportunity to show readers how they can apply the "lessons" from this historic corporate battle to their own businesses in the context of today's fast-paced world, ...             Home from Nowhere: Remaking Our Everyday World for the 21st Century27 reviews James Howard Kunstler Touchstone Press, 1998 Progressing back to a scale of living that will benefit humans in the future as well If Ownership Society (G.W. Bush) instead of Great Society (L.B Johnson) sounds good to you, then US Suburbia is right for you. "Home from Nowhere" by James Kunstler, however, predicts the demise of suburbia in the near future and lays out principles and detailed suggestions how future cities, towns, and settlements by humans living in today's borders of the USA should be outlined. The book is ...             Western TreeBook: A Field Guide for Weekend Naturalists1 review George Palmer, Martha Stuckey Touchstone Press, 1987 Rock Solid Tree Book for the Pacific Nothwest This is an excellent and easy to use book that integrates graphics and drawings to help you quickly identify and differentiate Pacific Northwest trees. It is certainly easier to use than the 'thicker' more comprehensive field guides available, yet I do not find it juvenile or lacking. When I purchased it ten years ago I just wanted a starting place for identifying differences between firs, ...             Lee's Lieutenants: A Study in Command20 reviews Douglas Southall Freeman, James M. McPherson Touchstone Press, 2001 A Great Read for the Civil War History Buff! The abridged volume of Lee's Lieutenants is an excellent title for anyone interested in Lee's Army of Northern Virginia. I have looked at the original 3-volume series and the only difference as one earlier reviewer points out is that the footnotes have been taken out. Given that Douglas Freeman was the editor of a Richmond, Virginia newspaper, one would expect several pages of footnotes. ...             Delusions of Grandma8 reviews Carrie Fisher Touchstone Press, 1994 Laugh Out Loud Funny Definitely read this with a friend in the room. (One who doesn't mind being interrupted while you read aloud from every other page.) This book is full of the type of wit that I wish I possessed. Not for people who like a very straight-foward plot. It is a bit overpowered by the prose, but with prose like this who cares? I reached the end and immediately wanted to either start over or invite ...             Making of the Atomic Bomb161 reviews Richard Rhodes Touchstone Press, 1988 Science, Politics, People, History, Warfare Awesome book. This book provides a unique blend of science, politics, people, history, warfare and interpersonal relationships. I am a mathematician with a minor in physics and a former US Air Force officer. I recall most of the names of key players (scientists, military, political) in this book but I never had a concept of how they were all related. This is quite a tome but I just had to sit ...              naturalists Charles Darwin (Very Interesting People Series) Medicine Rock Reflections Young Naturalist's Pop-Up Handbook: Beetles - Book #1 (Young ...
