Informative, but not user friendly or quick........2002-05-20

I bought two books for my trip to the Smokies. This book and Johnny Molloy's "Day and Overnight Hikes in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park" I tried to use both books, but I consistently returned to Molloys. The Albrights book would be all right to use if you wanted to sit down and read it from cover to cover, or at least a section of the park you want to explore. It is nearly impossible to flip through and find any specific trail. Beside this, their tone especially in the introduction put me off from this book. I think its designed to encourage anyone to try hiking, which is good, but for someone that has hiked for years, it treats me, the reader, as a simpleton, who has never stepped off the pavement in my life. This book is useful, but not as useful or concise as Molloy's guidebook.

Forty-two walks are detailed in this guide to hiking the Great Smoky Mountains. Numerous other walks are briefly listed at the end of each chapter. Hikes are listed geographically in 11 areas, with two to six hikes per area.

The description for each hike includes the distance, difficulty (easy, moderate or strenuous), elevation (including elevation changes), location of the trailhead, and a description of the walk itself. The descriptions are sometimes rather wordy, but do often include interesting historical or natural information. A trail map is included for most of the walks. The appendix includes a thorough bird list.

We found many very interesting walks in this book. Some of the walks listed are the more popular ones, but there are enough of the infrequently visited trails for those who don't want a lot of company on their excursions.

As the book mentions, it frequently rains in the Smokys. We found ourselves in the rain on several of our walks. However, the book itself doesn't take getting damp as well as I'd like. Yet, even though it's been wet several times, the our copy is still very usable.

Book Description

Wherever people can read, there are stories about the magic, mystery, and power of what they read. Val Ross presents a history of reading that is, in fact, the story of the monumental, on-going struggle to read. From Enheduanna, daughter of Sargon the Great, the world’s oldest signed author to Empress Shotoku of Japan who in 764 ordered the printing of one million Buddhist prayers; from the story of Hulagu, Ghengis Khan’s nasty brother who destroyed the library of Baghdad to Bowdler and the censorship of Shakespeare, there have been barriers to reading ranging from the physical to the economical, social, and political.

Written for children ages ten and up, You Can’t Read This explores the development of alphabets, the decoding of ancient languages, and censorship in Ancient Rome and modern America. It's about secret writing, trashed libraries, writers on the run, writers in hiding, books that are thought to have magical powers and mistranslations that started wars. It's about people: from the American slave Frederick Douglass to girls in Afghanistan in the year 2001 who defied laws that prevented them from learning to read.

What do all these stories have in common?

They’re all about how texts contain power – and how people everywhere throughout history have devoted their wills and their brains to reading and unleashing the power of the word.

With lavish illustrations and an index, this is history at its finest.

Customer Reviews:

Highly recommended not just for kids, but for all ages.......2006-06-26

Where ever people read there are tales of the magic and power of their reading: Val Ross charts these stories in YOU CAN'T READ THIS: FORBIDDEN BOOKS, LOST WRITING, MISTRANSLATIONS AND CODES. While it's written for kids ages 10 and older, it's reviewed here because its far-reaching survey of different kinds of reading, secret writing, destroyed libraries, and censorship have plenty of insights on the power of the written word: a power many an adult should be well aware of. A fascinating survey of the texts which contain power, and how they translate it, evolves in a book highly recommended not just for kids, but for all ages.

Customer Reviews:

Very informative and persuading!.......1999-07-27

The author really focused on the details of this beautiful breed. I definetly am now more interested in the breed than I was before. The pictures were wonderful, too!

A good resource with lots of great photos........1999-04-29

This is a good resource for anyone interested in Otterhounds. If you're new to the breed, or just seriously considering adding an Otterhound to your "family", you'll want to read this book. Even if you've lived with these big shaggy hounds for years, you'll want this revised edition of Dr. Mouat's book - because of all the great photos!

Each is a lasting value--for the recipient and the giver!

Book Description

Twenty-five species of the genus Paeonia are documented in these pages, including 40 subspecies and varieties. Also included herein is the closely related genus Glaucidium.
