The Grand Canyon is an overwhelming place, vast in size, depth, beauty, and appreciative hordes. Alex Wells is passionate about the Canyon, and along with a wealth of useful information, he imparts his ardor for the 277-mile park, from the smallest ant lion to the impressive half ton elk. He details the best drives, views, and bike rides, where to watch for wildlife and whom to contact for raft trips, the best places to lodge, dine, picnic, and camp, how to get there, when to go, and what's available for visitors with disabilities, pets, or children. From South Rim to North Rim, getaway towns to backcountry trips, Wells covers camping, sports, the flora, fauna, and ecosystem comprehensively and clearly. Wells's guide gives perspective on the magnificence, delineates the options, and provides a handle on just what kind of visit you'd like to arrange, whether it's a quick rim view, a day hike, or a wilderness backpacking excursion. --Stephanie GoldBook Description

Freedom in the Family: A Mother-Daughter Memoir of the Fight for Civil Rights
Tananarive Due , and Patricia Stephens Due Manufacturer: One World/Ballantine ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 0345447344 Release Date: 2003-12-30 |
Book Description
Patricia Stephens Due fought for justice during the height of the Civil Rights era. Her daughter, Tananarive, grew up deeply enmeshed in the values of a family committed to making right whatever they saw as wrong. Together, in alternating chapters, they have written a paean to the movement—its hardships, its nameless foot soldiers, and its achievements—and an incisive examination of the future of justice in this country. Their mother-daughter journey spanning two generations of struggles is an unforgettable story.Customer Reviews:
Personal reflections of the ongoing "MOVEMENT".......2003-12-27
Tananarive Due shares her upbringing in a house headed by such politically minded and socially active parents. By writing about her college days and beyond, she reminds us that things have not changed as much as they should since her mother and others trod the streets of Tallahassee. She cites the Miami riots of the 80's (the result of the senseless murder of a black motorcyclist), as well as other highly profiled instances of human abuses.
The book is an essential read, if only to appreciate the people that sacrificed so much to make this country accept its creed of being "one nation for all".
Ode to the Unsung.......2003-04-16
I first came across Tananarive Due in a work I have previously reviewed: "Dark Matter: A Century of Speculative Fiction from the African Diaspora," by Sheree R. Thomas. Having read Due's novels to date, I periodically check the library catalog for anything new, not expecting to find a non-fiction entry. I had no real idea of her biography or her background; I just knew I had found an author I like, who is definitely worthy of more attention than she has yet received.
This work, written in collaboration with her mother, Patricia Stephens Due, is excellent - start to finish. As the parent of several children in the public schools of lily-white Iowa, I see the yearly, compulsory, half-hearted "diversity studies." What this has come to mean is that every September, Martin Luther King, Jr. is beatified; every October, Christopher Columbus is reviled; every January, King is nominated for sainthood; and every February they do Black History Month, at which time it becomes okay to mention Rosa Parks or Harriet Tubman. At the end of it all, you can ask any student, black or white, about Ralph Abernathy, Thurgood Marshall, Medgar Evers, the SCLC generally, or CORE and all you will get is blank stares. They will have no idea who Bull Connor was and may have only a vague sense of recognition at the name of George Wallace. Tallahassee and St. Augustine: blank stares. Birmingham and Selma: nods of vague recognition.
If this book were made required reading in the high school curriculum (or at least anthologized portions of it), maybe a sense of the real struggles would stay alive. Not the struggles of white-against-black, but the struggles of activists (White and Negro)against the establishments (White and Negro), against fear, and against apathy. And, divisions within the movement itself.
Daughter and mother Due quickly brush aside the revisionist histories of a Civil Rights Movement under the omnipresent eyes of Dr. King - a monolithic structure pitting white against black. The reader is constantly reminded that the civil rights movement was really made up of the diverse activities of mostly unsung heroes (White and Negro) who gave of their lives, gave up their livelihoods, and gave their very lives to the cause of freedom. The reader is not allowed to believe that the struggle is over. Nor, is the reader permitted to forget that the issue was not and is not Black versus White; it is an issue of freedom and justice - for all.
Written in a comfortable, narrative style, it is nevertheless a scholarly look at the people and the times. The authors chose to use the the language of the times (thus, this reviewer's use of the word "Negro," dispite the fact that the term has fallen into disfavor among the politically correct). In their successful effort to place the reader in the middle of these turbulent years one gets the sense that these were times we should be proud of - at least for those of us who never accepted segregation and racial prejudice. This book tells the stories of civil rights activists so that the memories will not be lost in the current climate of sanitized political correctness. It is said of the Holocaust, "Never Forget!" It should be said of the civil rights activists, "Always Remember!"
A Celebration of Unsung Heroes.......2003-02-03
This novel is a wonderful history lesson that includes details that uncover the fortitude and determination of many unsung heroes. The personal sacrifices (suspension/expulsion from college, permanent physical injury, and death) of "everyday people" for the sake of justice are truly admirable and honorable.
For this reviewer, this book was particularly touching because Patricia goes into great detail about the forming of CORE and other noteworthy events happening at FAMU during the same era when my parents, aunts, and uncles attended. She also mentions events in other small towns in Florida where other members of my family lived, so key passages sparked a lot of memories --resulting in me getting a very personal slant on my family's viewpoints on the struggle while reading this book. This body of work is truly a labor of love and a great accomplishment for the Due family; one can only imagine the countless hours it took to pull it all together. It is an excellent memoir, a beautiful legacy, and a definite keepsake for me!
