3-0 out of 5 stars Very detailed, with little action.
This was a very detailed, information rich, book on Kirby Smith. A man caught in a position he wasn't prepared for and was not supported in by his government. After finishing what I thought was a book on a Civil War General who oversaw the area which produced such battles as Vicksburg and the Red River Campaign I was left knowing more about the economic situation of the Trans-Mississippi Dept. and surrounding areas then about any battle fought in the entire area. If you are interested in a book about the south and the political problems they faced and how the areas economic condition was tied to cotton and speculators then this is a very good book. If you are looking to see how Kirby Smith, The General, handled troops in battle and how he contributed the the war effort on the battlefield I do not recommend it. A lot about Kirby the person and the administrator but little about Lt. General Kirby Smith, the battle tested, wounded warrior of First Manassas (Bull Run)and I'm not sure without re-reading it, what other battles.

3-0 out of 5 stars Missing the Bigger Picture
Edmund Kirby Smith remains one of the most neglected of the important figures of the Civil War era. Best known for his command of the Trans-Mississippi Department from 1863 until the close of the war, Kirby Smith found himself acting with military, civil and economic authority after the Union essentially divided the Confederacy in two. He was an important figure and yet his tale is perhaps better told in studies of his administration rather than in a biography.

Joseph Parks gives a solid if not particularly compelling account of Kirby Smith's career. Kirby Smith, a Floridian, served under Joseph Johnston at the First Battle of Bull Run and was seriously wounded. After recovering from the wound, Kirby Smith commanded Confederate forces in East Tennessee and showed some tactical ability in the invasion of Kentucky which culminated in the battle of Perryville. During that campaign, Kirby Smith feuded with Braxton Bragg who commanded the main wing of the Confederate invasion. Kirby Smith would later command the Trans Mississippi region and, while there were some successes such as the Red River campaign, all in all Kirby Smith was content on the defensive, much in the style of his mentor Johnston. Parks offers little on Kirby Smith's post war career which is fairly odd since Kirby Smith taught at the University of the South, an institution that Parks was affiliated with.

This is all well and good. However, the chief problem with the book is Parks' lack of interest in Kirby Smith's roles in politics and economics. Kirby Smith's role in the Confederacy was not simply that of a general. He was the highest ranking Confederate offical west of the river and was isolated after the fall of Vicksburg in 1863. For almost two years, Kirby Smith dealt with economic problems (such as trade), morale problems as Southerners lost hope in the cause, Indian raids, the continuing struggles of the French in Mexico and political problems, as the Confederate government and the states clashed. Parks does not offer much in the way of insight to these problems that vexed Kirby Smith and prefers to focus more on military matters. Kirby Smith simply did not have that many chances on the battle field and the spheres he occupied were very different than most other Confederate commanders.

Furthermore, Parks seems a bit too willing to give his subject the benefit of the doubt at all times such as his feud with Bragg.While this was not particularly odd (Bragg quarreled with a host of Confederate commanders), Kirby Smith simply can not be as blameless as Parks portrays him. Richard Taylor, for one, would also have severe problems with Kirby Smith later on in the war during the Trans Mississippi command. At the same time, the view espoused by the late Thomas Connelly of Kirby Smith as a young man deluded by a messianic complex seems equally flawed as well.

For basic information on Kirby Smith, take a look at Parks though be warned the book is very dated. For the importance of Kirby Smith and his role in the greater story of the Confederacy, take a look at Robert Kerby's study "Kirby Smith's Confederacy." While not offering much in the way of biographical information, Kerby's book seems a bit nearer the mark in capturing Kirby Smith than either Parks or Connelly did, showing a young man with some talents overwhelmed by a task that was simply beyond his, or anyone else's, abilities. For Smith's feud with Taylor, Jeffery Prushankin's "Crisis in Command" is solid.

As for Parks, while he does give some of the basics of Kirby Smith's life, he really fails to capture just how important his subject was in the story of the Confederacy. If Kirby Smith is ever going to rise out of obscurity, it will not be on his military record but on how an untrained military leader found himself trying to maintain some sense of order as he tried to hold together a collapsing economy, society and political system. It's an interesting tale and one that deserves to be told. Too bad Parks simply could not see the bigger picture.

4-0 out of 5 stars A visitor center in your pocket

Most of this book consists of the kind of things that you see in a national park visitor center, such as brief texts on geology, habitats, history, and climate.In a book format, Wuerthner can go into a little more detail, and he does.Even so, most of the book doesn't dig very deep in providing this kind of information.Having read quite a bit about the park and visited on several occasions, I didn't really learn much.If you're planning your first visit, however, this would be a good source.

These chapters are easy reads, and the book includes a lot of good pictures.It would have been nice to have more maps - - there is only one, a road map on the back cover.Geology, alpine plant communities, history, wildlife and elevation might each have been the subject of one or more specialized maps.

The book suggests a nice sampling of hikes in its final pages.I've done many of them, and it's a good choice but again, maps would be nice.If you want to hike, see some of the other books on my Listmania page.

What makes the book for me are the fauna and flora identifications, which take up more than half the book (about 125 pages).There are some pictures and a lot of side drawings of the animals of the park, with two or three species per page.Plant identifications show each species in flower, while tree and shrub pages show the overall shape of the plant, close-ups of leaves, and berries, needles or other up-close identifiers.These are very useful and have earned the book a place in my day pack.

5-0 out of 5 stars A Good Introduction to Percy the Park Keeper and His Animal Friends
The title says it all. Percy the park keeper wakes up one day in the aftermath of a heavy storm. His animal friends are displaced. He helps them find a new one. The story is simple and pretty straight-forward. Its execution however is heart-warming and well-paced. Living in the Philippines, you do see the damage and destruction caused by typhoons. This book will certainly help children understand the effects of natural disasters. Furthermore, it presents the young readers of what to do in these cases as an individual and as a community.

Big Bend has many things to attract tourists, and author Gary Clark thoroughly describes the park's many features. "Enjoying Big Bend National Park" is a top pick for nature tourists.

5-0 out of 5 stars A Simple Handy Guide to Big Bend
This book is easy to read and well organized to best manage and plan one's time at Big Bend. Being a seasoned vet of Big Bend, I even ordered a few books for friends and family new to Texas so they can enjoy and experience Big Bend as much as I have. I even learned of new advetures to try on my next trip to Big Bend.

5-0 out of 5 stars Good Title - Very Enjoyable Read
Good Title - Very Enjoyable Read

This is an especially great book for someone who has never been to Big Bend National Park, but even a seasoned traveler (6 times for me) to the Park will enjoy reading this book. I always like to see what someone else thinks of my favorite places and trails, so reading Gary Clark's impressions of Big Bend was interesting and about as close to being there as I can imagine.

I loved reading about the difference in hiking styles, Gary's former "beeline race to the finish" vs. his wife's leisurely, "butterfly hiking", meandering down the trail. I had my husband read that section twice just to make sure he got the message!

The mix of geology, nature, practical advice for safety, beautiful prose, humor and more made this a wonderful read and a very useful reference. I highly recommend this book for planning your trip and it is just the right size to tuck in your suitcase and carry with you throughout the park.

The photos go from breathtakingly beautiful vistas to darn cute little critters that I hope to get a glimpse of on my next visit. And reading this book makes me want to plan that next visit right now.

4-0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive, if dry
This is a very comprehensive and thorough book that reads more like a detailed collection of reports and commentary on almost every search and rescue operation in the National Parks (and some outside of them) over the last century.

Where the book may fall short to many is that it's very straight-forward, almost dry reading. Very little effort is put into dramatizing the stories or analyzing character, motivation or emotions of those involved. So if you're looking for a dramatic book on survival stories, this isn't it.

I can however easily see someone buying this and having it on a shelf for reference, and if you're the kind of person who really wants all the details at your fingertips, this book is for you.

3-0 out of 5 stars Get an inside story on what recently went wrong in Oregon
A somewhat dry accounting, using newspaper clippings whenever available, of mishaps that casual (and quite often very experienced)hikers encounter in what commonly is believed to be safe National Parks. A very quick education in being prepared for the underestimated dangers of dehydration, hypothermia, and heat stress.It is not quite as good as "Over the Edge: Death in Grand Canyon"or "Death in Yellowstone: Accidents and Foolhardiness in the First National Park", both of which manage to get the message of being careful across in a much more narrative style. If you enjoy "Weather stories" on TV, these will all make for fascinating reading.
PS In the Oregon reference I am talking about the death of CNET editor James Kim, who left the relative safety of his car trying to get help for his family, and the three climbers on Mt Hood that perished shortly after. You will learn of countless expeditions that people insisted on undertaking because they were already there, even though the weather has changed drastically.

4-0 out of 5 stars Reality check for the Great Outdoors
This book is a fine overview of the history of search and rescue in the parks from one of the professionals in the field. In addition to lots of historical information, it provides plenty of food for thought for anybody planning an outdoor trip. There are lots of lessons to be learned from the mistakes of others.

4-0 out of 5 stars Left me wanting to know more
If you are interested in the subject matter, it would be hard not to enjoy this book. I was amazed at the number of bodies that had to be left in the parks because they couldn't be retreived for one reason or another. I was also surprised to learn how many planes had crashed onto the lands or into the mountains of national parks. There are also the things you would expect, such as falls from mountain climbing and people who get lost while hiking. It was sad to read about the rangers who risked their lives and became heroes to save others, only to read about some of them succumbing to the dangers of the park themselves later on in the book. Many of the stories made me wish there was additional information, because I wanted to know more about what happened to these people. Overall a very engrossing book.

4-0 out of 5 stars Compelling Gathering of Varied Narratives
As the NPS's Chief National Emergency Services Coordinator the author spent many years in the search and rescue business. In the course of his career he had access to the original records and was able to select most dramatic and cautionary stories. Each covers at most a few pages but the reader will want to keep reading. Very hard to put down and a substantial amount of research and good writing.
Most emphasis is on the post 1940 period since WW II when the development of modern aerial search and rescue techniques, as pioneered in the armed services, influenced the postwar organization and methods. The Air Force became responsible for inland activities and the Coast Guard for the sea margins. Ground based searches remained the primary responsiblity of the big land management agencies such as the Park Service, Forest Service, and Bureau of Land Management. ... Read more

Product Description
Oakland Park was named for the massive stand of trees that lined the Middle River. Our first permanent settlers were the Whidby family, who came from Georgia to South Florida in 1901, when the area was known as Colahatchee. By 1918, other farming families had moved into the area, and bean and pepper fields were abundant. In 1923, a Miami development company initiated the Oakland Park subdivision with one of the biggest barbecues ever held in Broward County, with an estimated attendance of 5,000 people from Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach Counties. The city was incorporated first as Floranada in early 1925 by the American-British Improvement Company, a group of international investors. Plans for the resort included two 18-hole golf courses, a polo field, an aviation field, tennis courts, and a yacht club. It was intended to rival Palm Beach, but this vision was carried away with hurricane winds on September 18, 1926. Bankruptcy and devastating damage brought the development to an end. Despite offers from Fort Lauderdale and Pompano Beach, the citizens of Oakland Park agreed that the community could be run more efficiently as an independent city. The city was reorganized and reincorporated as Oakland Park on July 1, 1929. ... Read more

Product Description

“We went for a hike. The beach was a tumble of exposed bedrock, some formations looking like model pirate ships in silhouette, but soon the gravel narrowed and an outcrop of jagged rock faced us. The girls scrambled up a well-used trail, and then I saw Grace climbing, hand over hand, up the final short rock wall. I was about to yell my customary warning, but she had summited and Bailey was on her heels. They raised their arms, the Lake Superior wind whipping their hair, and I breathed two words: their Everest.”
—from the text by Chris Niskanen

Minnesota is home to prairies and forests, lakes and rivers, bison and gray wolf—and a treasured system of state parks. Emblems of natural history, many were created to protect an ecosystem such as the giant hardwood trees at Nerstrand Big Woods, features like the spectacular waterfalls at Gooseberry or limestone caves at Forestville, and historic structures such as the early settlement of Fort Ridgely along the Minnesota River. Recreational opportunities are equally diverse— and so are the people who pursue them.

Photographer Doug Ohman visited each of Minnesota’s sixty-six parks to capture their classic beauty, storied wildlife, and wealth of activities in all seasons. More than two hundred color photographs illustrate sixteen essays by outdoors writer Chris Niskanen, who chronicles the sights, sounds, and experiences of exploring the parks through the eyes of those who know them best—rangers, naturalists, and long-time users. There is the
traveling salesman who is also an avid birdwatcher; a couple so excited about their state parks adventures that they worked geocaching into their wedding theme; and daughters on a camping trip to the rocky outcrops of
Lake Superior’s North Shore, a personal tale recounted by Niskanen.

The result is an elegant package of memories for those who frequent the parks—and an invitation to all comers to see Minnesota’s natural world at its best.

Photographer Doug Ohman’s work is featured in the Minnesota Byways series, which includes Barns of Minnesota and Cabins of Minnesota. Chris Niskanen is outdoors editor for the St. Paul Pioneer Press and also contributes to Minnesota Conservation Volunteer magazine.

If you liked "where's spot" you're going to be disappointed by this book. Other than the fact that it features Spot and has flaps.

It is very similar to "spot goes to the farm."Unlike the original "Spot" the plot line is less clear, the answers are less repetitive, and the answers behind the flaps are less concise.

We were so disappointed we returned it.

Great read if you like this author and this style of book. I really dig the james bonish style of action and the mix with some super natural. Over all a good read. Not the most romantic but I did enjoy it. Just wish Jaz would grow some guts and do more with Vayl. This one was more fun then book 4, which I guess after book 3 the books in this series get boring and drawn out.

5-0 out of 5 stars Better than the first in the series...
I was introduced to this series when the first book (Once Bitten, Twice Shy) was offered as a Kindle freebie. This book (second in the series) was better than the first. It had faster pacing, fewer (way fewer) inappropriate similes to ruin the flow, and the secondary characters were better developed. Like with the first book, the author did a good job maintaining the tension between Vayl and Jaz. Their mission (terrorist/CIA plot) kept me turning the pages way beyond the time I should've tackled dishes and laundry. I'm glad there was resolution of some of Jaz's issues introduced in the first book, and the increase in her powers kept things interesting. A great book overall - looking forward to reading the next one in the series!

But from just a reading standpoint, it's not very good. The pictures are terrible, and I don't think there's a picture of a fish in the entire book, if you can believe that. Also, there needs to be an overall map of some kind, so you can figure out where in the park the little maps are. Even if the big map was split into quadrants spread out over several pages it would help alot.Check out "Fishing the Beartooths" - now that's a great book.

Just my two cents worth.

4-0 out of 5 stars A Map to the Cutthroats Homes
Recently, I managed to get the hay baled, unload several cow-calf pairs at the sale barn, and endure a screaming diatribe from one of my neighbors who was desiring to cut a road across the corner of my property for ill-defined reasons involving an elk hunting camp. When I demurred, spittle flew out of his mouth and he became quite agitated. For a moment, I thought I might have to get the Mossberg. In the end, he promised to make things so hot for me with our County Board that I would think the devil himself was after me. Against this backdrop, I decided it was a sovereign time to go fishing in Yellowstone.

I have mixed opinions about the worth and accuracy of some Falcon Guides, but not this one. Armed with this guide, I wended my way through the bunkers of industrial tourism that blight our otherwise wondrous first national park, dodging the hatch of RVs and uncurious flabbos that choke the roads in high season. I settled first on a stretch of the Lewis River, which Merriwether Lewis never actually saw. It fished about the way the author said it would, and his descriptions were accurate and clear.

Of course, anyone can write a roadside fishing guide but what about the pristine streams and creeks accessible only by foot or horse? I shouldered my pack and hiked twenty miles into the backcountry in search of some of the original strain of cutthroat. Again, his descriptions of Wolverine Creek and the upper Snake were clear and easy to follow. I used various atttractor patterns recommended by the author and some that weren't. Each produced an equal and abundant share of fish. I finished my week with a couple of nights on Pebble Creek in the NE corner of the park, fishing the undercut banks and big pools in the manner the author suggests. The cutthroat were plentiful, surprisingly sizeable, and not too selective. As a bonus, I saw a wolf pack cruising across the valley as I made my way down the stream bank.

The short sections on ethics are a pleasure to read. Use barbless hooks at all times and don't poach another angler's water if he's clearly fishing a stretch you covet. Get out of bed earlier next time. The author occasionally gives short shrift to some of the more difficult trails in the Park, but if you want to get away from your fellow sportsmen and enjoy Yellowstone the way Colter did, take such damnings with a grain of salt. Overall, his impressions of the park's waters and their fishability mirror my own over the last 15 years or so. Also, he is not kidding when he estimates the number of fisherman who crowd popular sections of river, such as Slough Creek and the Yellowstone near Hayden Valley. Leave these waters in high season for the Zebco crowd and plan on fishing them in the off-season.

5-0 out of 5 stars Best guide for where & when to fish Yellowstone
The best book on access points and times to go inside and outside the park.It provides many useful hints on further exploring you might do as well.It is a perfect complement to Craig Matthews' Yellowstone Fly Fishing Guide, which focuses more on hatches and flies rather than specific access to each stream or river.

5-0 out of 5 stars Very Informative Book on Fishing in Yellowstone!
I had purchased this book and one other for my trip to Yellowstone. This was by far the best book, had all regulations and great information onwhere to fish in the area. I studied this book in anticipation of my trip,had always wanted to go to Yellowstone and fish. With the use of this bookand its recommendations, I had the best day of fishing in my life, caught40 trout in one day. All I can say is get the book read it and follow therecommendations and guide you wont be sorry. Jeff

5-0 out of 5 stars An indispensible companion for a trip to Yosemite
Huber has done a terrific job! Don't go to Yosemite without acquiring this book first. Short, clear, and without a peer as a pocket guide for the layman and rusty professional. Use this book for Yosemite and also get James Moore's wonderful book "Exploring the Highest Sierra" (Kings Canyon and Sequioa parks)for a greatly enriched tour of the Sierra Nevada.

5-0 out of 5 stars Great introduction to geology of the Sierra
This is a great book for anyone who climbs or backpacks in Yosemite or the high Sierra.If you've ever looked at the knobs on Cathedral Peak, the dikes at Lover's Leap, the domes around Tuolumne, or the cirques and jaggedpeaks in the high Sierra and wondered what caused them to form, read thisbook.It gives a great background on the geology of the Sierra,specifically focusing on Yosemite.It is accessible to someone without abackground in geology without being dumbed down. ...
