    5 out of 5 stars A comprehensive work about a state of great beauty.......2004-10-30

    The Compass American Guide series is excellent and I found the guide on New Mexico to be a great resource. New Mexico has a rich history of native peoples and Spanish exploration and colonization. The guide offers a brief but useful history of the area, including the chaotic period of struggle between Mexican and Anglos before statehood.

    The book has a separate section on Albuquerque and the surrounding environs; a section on Santa Fe and Taos and then the rest of the book is divided into 5 large geographic areas. This was especially useful on our trip where we spent 3 days in Albuquerque, 3 in Santa Fe/Taos and then spent the rest of the time going to more remote sites to explore this beautiful state.

    Albuquerque is a mixture of old and new and the guide helped us navigate in Old Town as well as find our way in the suburbs that move from downtown to the bottom of the Sandia Mountains. Old Town is a shopping delight, especially if you are shopping for Native American jewelry, weavings, masks, and pottery. I found the lay-out of the central square to be very pleasing and central park allowed a place to sit and watch.

    We visited the Rio Grande Nature Center which offers shady walks along the river. We also visited the Petroglyph National Monument, which lays on the edge of town, and is a great hike with interesting rock drawings etched into the mountain.

    There are two ways to reach the top of the Sandia Crest; either in a gondola lifting you high above the city, or you can drive around the mountain and take the twisty mountain road up through the evergreen forrest to the top. We selected to take our car and the drive around the base of the mountain and through the forrest was wonderful. The views from the top are spectacular, especially at sunset.

    We drove the back roads between Albuquerque and Santa Fe which was very interesting. Santa Fe has a tremendous art market and there are 50 or more art galleries that represent nationally known artists. The downtown museum was informative regarding the history of New Mexico. There is a museum complex on the edge of the city however that should not be missed. First there is a museum of colonial Spanish history with beautiful furniture, carvings of saints, weapons, costumes, decorative arts, and paintings. The museum is elegant and serene in design. Second is a museum of folk art collections from around the world. This museum is a must see. There were collections of African American artists, Asian, South American, etc. The collection was extensive with thousands and thousands of items on display (I am not kidding - in one large display room with dolls from every country, there were over 10,000 items all on display). Third is a museum of the Native Americans of New Mexico. The museum was obviously designed and maintained by Native people, the displays were very respectful and educating. The restaurants in Santa Fe are superb.

    We moved on to Taos where we visted the homes and studios of many of the artists who moved to New Mexico after World War I. The home of Oscar Blumenschien was built 250 years ago and the home contains many of his works. The Fechen museum was incredible containing many of his paintings and displaying the amazing home he built himself, carving doors throughout the home.

    We took a side trip to Abiquiu to go to Ghost Ranch. The terrain gradually becomes more and more red as you drive from Santa Fe to Abiquiu. When we arrived at Ghost Ranch, a very polite lady told us that the vast area had been donated to the Presbyterians. When we asked to see Georgia O'Keefe's home,she told us that someone lived there and they did not give directions so as to preserve this person's privacy. She offered us maps to around 15 hiking trails. We hiked the Chimney Rock trial high above the Ghost Ranch valley. The view from atop the mountains was spectacular and worth the drive from Santa Fe.

    We drove to the Jemez Muntains and Bandelier National Monument. This is another highlight of New Mexico. One trail in the park will allow you to see the cave dwellings of the early native people. The climb up the long wooden ladders into the shallow caves was great fun. We then decided to take a second hike after lunch and went down to the Rio Grande river, another enjoyable afternoon!

    The Fodor guide was excellent, we did not have to buy other guides or books because so much of New Mexico was detailed in the guide. There are many maps, photographs, essays, and travel ideas.

      5 out of 5 stars Cowboys Rock!.......2006-02-01

      My husband and I bought 3 cowboy books for our 2 grandsons who are into cowboys Big Time. The oldest, who is 5, called me when they arrived in the mail. He said "Hi grandma, thank you for the cowboy books, we love them!" His mom got on the phone and said the boys were dancing around the room with the books and were so excited, they wanted to stay up to color. I guess that says it all.

        5 out of 5 stars Mionczynski knows his stuff.......2006-03-24

        This is a great read whether you own goats or are just curious about goat/horse/llama packing. Trust me, once you have carried 85lbs of gear for 12 miles over the Continental Divide, you will think of it... Goat Packing offers advantages that the other means of animal packing do not: Goats can go anywhere, they are friendlier, you do not need to carry separate food for them for the trail and they do no environmental damage. Goat packing is a great way to keep getting into the remote country you love without breaking your back or knees and will save you much energy to off track hikes, climbing and peak bagging. This book give you the basics on choosing and using goats for packing gear and points you to other more detailed vet, breeding, and training resources. Mionczynski's years of experience of actually working with goats really shows and can give one a head start if you are planning a trip with an outfitter using goats or if you are thinking of doing it yourself.

        5 out of 5 stars Be careful , you'll want packgoats..........2000-07-03

        This is a great read whether you own goats or are just curious! Mionczynski's years of astute observation, training and use of pack goats can catapult you years ahead in raising and training your own herd... or at least make you roll out of your chair laughing at the caprious caprines you'll meet throughout the book.

        After reading this book several years ago, my husband and I jumped right into packgoating, despite minimal prior livestock experience. With Mionczynski's book as our primary resource, our herd has grown to 12 -- all well-mannered, happy and healthy.

        To those of you past your backpacking prime, here's a great way to keep getting into the remote country you love without breaking your back or knees or shoulders or... And you'll have some wonderful four-legged friends in the backyard between hikes.

        3 out of 5 stars The Pack Goat.......2000-06-14

        "The Pack Goat" contains a wealth of arcane goat behaviour knowledge, and an interesting introduction to the art of goatpacking, by the father of goatpacking. It is not a how-to book, but does give you plenty of ideas on how to get started with your packgoat.

                          I have owned this book for many years & I still find myself flipping through it again & again. They just don't make Collectors Guides like this anymore. Beautiful large hard bound book w/ excellent year by year pictures,discriptions & cost of the original ornaments all in one book.It also shows various ways of using your Hallmark Ornaments in other ways of decorating besides your typical Christmas tree. I rate this a 5 star book & a must for any collector

                          5 out of 5 stars A MUST have for all Hallmark ornament collectors!.......1999-10-23

                          This book, a follow up to Hallmark Ornaments, The First Twenty Years, is an absolute must have for Hallmark Ornament collectors. This wonderfully illustrated book contains large color pictures of all the Hallmark Ornaments 1994-1998, articles from Clara and pertinant ornament information. WONDERFUL!!

                          There is no "box set" as advertised and this book is a duplication of "Growing Orchids" by the same authors, just a different cover.

                          5 out of 5 stars Great book for orchids lovers!.......2007-03-01

                          I looked through a variety of popular orchid books before purchasing this one. I found it to be the most comprehensive. It covers different growing environments (indoor, outdoor, under glass), care, cultivation, and diseases. The directory includes a description, complete with beautiful photos. Chapters are presented in a logical manner. My husband has extensive experience in growing a variety of flowers including azaleas and clivias. He found this book had many helpful and specific tips on orchid growing.

                          This publication is now called Orchids A Practical Handbook -A beautiful guide to growing orchids.

                          This is a excellent book and the best I have seen on the market which gives practical information plus a beautiful encyclopedia of photographs of various orchid families.

                          There are also numerous photos of the stages in cultivation and more inside tips than I have seen in other orchid books ( I have eight other books on orchid culture)

                          4 out of 5 stars A good starting point.......2001-03-11

                          This book gives you the basis to start from with orchids. It gives you the direction for the specific orchids which you can then take to the next level using specific orchid books. You can not go wrong purchasing this book as it will be at your finger tips everytime you do something with your orchids.

                                  Kelly James has been an international private investigator on five continents, but it was in Africa that she realized her "greatest adventures and most memorable insights into the human experience." Given the scope of her work--investigating murders, missing persons, safari accidents, and tangled multinational affairs in the face of such obstacles as lions, famine, kidnappers, and tribal warfare--James takes adventure and insight into territory barely imaginable to the rest of us. The result is a stunning quartet of tales of her most memorable adventures.

                                  In the opening story, "Detour," James travels to Mombasa, Kenya, to determine whether the death of a remarkable coffee plantation owner was suicide or murder and to hunt for a missing inheritance. Along the way she discovers a mysterious, top-secret school in the jungle. On a "pleasure" trip to Rwanda to see mountain gorillas, accompanied by a morose American teenager, James is caught in gorilla-poaching crossfire and faces the sort of impossible questions Africa so frequently poses--whose life is more valuable, that of an African child or a baby gorilla? In Beira, a coastal city in Mozambique, she and her friend David are given one day to search for David's missing mother and sister while the Russians pull out, guerrilla fighters approach, and a mass demonstration circles the wreckage. And in the final dramatic story, James just barely survives renegade Turkana warriors, 120-degree heat, starvation, crocodiles, broken ribs, and a head injury in the search for the lost Dr. Kali, an English-educated Turkana witchdoctor. James is truly an audacious explorer--skilled not only in a number of languages but also in living with almost nothing and in the most hostile of environments. She is also tough on her clients. However, just when you think you're reading nothing more than a very good mystery, complete with colorful international characters and whodunit conundrums, accompanied by a woman long on smarts and balls but short on compassion, she thrusts you squarely into the heart of Africa, where it is impossible not to feel deeply. These are haunting stories written by a remarkable woman who knows not only how to live a life of risk, but how to tell a terrific story. --Lesley Reed

                                  Book Description

                                  In a series of moving and powerful stories based on her experiences as a private investigator, Kelly James draws us into the mystery that is Africa. A lone woman searching for the lost, she exposes us to a world where truth is ephemeral, and where compassion, though frail, still bleeds through the grit and dust.

                                  In "Detour" she investigates the apparent suicide of a beloved coffee plantation owner in Kenya. In "Gorillas and Banana Beer," James ventures into the jungles of Rwanda to catch a glimpse of the nearly extinct mountain gorillas, only to struggle for survival against merciless poachers in a village of forgotten children. In "Beira," at the edge of Mozambique and anarchy's ground-zero, James searches for a lost woman and her daughter. "Witchdoctor" takes James deep into Turkanaland, otherwise known as "hell on earth," to find a woman doctor who has disappeared. James's sanity and life hang in the balance in a surreal and ferocious closing to this compelling debut work.

                                  Dancing with the Witchdoctor is a testimony to the strength of women, one that reveals how even in a land where flesh withers in the sun, there is no better proof of humanity than when it is on the brink.

                                  I was prepared not to like this book; usually I am not a fan of short stories. After I read the first page, I could not put it down. Each story is a unique tale about the strength and power of women. The writer's straightforward and realistic writing style was refreshing. My husband loved the book - amazing adventure stories for all.

                                  4 out of 5 stars Highly entertaining.......2006-01-06

                                  This book is a thoroughly good read. If you've been to Africa, or dream of going there, by all means have a look. However, I'm also intrigued by the negative review below by the English literature professor who "found this book in the bargain isle ..." Exactly where is the Bargain Isle and can I book a cruise there? Sounds like a shopper's dream.

                                  Avoid the nit-picking reviews over whether it really happened to her or not;it is labeled "fiction".I savored her stories like the finest chocolates;I wanted to read them all at once but rationed myself to one a night.Anybody criticizing her either cant write or is destined to fish discount books out of the clearance bin while stomping their feet that they teach literature.
                                  You want a book filled with travel,mysticism,endurance and the overall goodness of people,then by all means buy it.I wish she would write another book!

                                  I've lived and worked in Africa and these stories did not ring true with me...great adventures, based on some experiences, maybe...but biography??...I just don't know. Would love to know and would be happy to eat my words.

                                  Do you dream of going to Africa one day? If so, this book is a must read. I could not put it down. You will be amazed by these four adventures......sometimes scary, sometimes funny. This book is a keeper and I will be reading it again soon.
