    5 out of 5 stars The best "local" guide book written for the true hiker!!!.......2006-06-27

    I purchased this book in 1996 while moving to attend UNM in New Mexico and learning (by asking) as a fairly new comer where to go and how strenuous the hikes were for a Jersey transplant. While building up my lung capacity on the Sandia Crest hike, I referred to this book over and over again to plan my hikes and really see this beautiful State from the trails. And I still recommend it to those folks traveling to New Mexico for the first or the 10th time. It is the best book written by a local devout hiker and used by local devout hikers. You can not go wrong with this book-it will show your topo maps, truly rate the hikes and give you the details needed to plan, it will be a treasured addition to your library and a good travel companion for beginners and seasoned hikers. Don't forget your water & happy trails, enjoy!!!!

    4 out of 5 stars Very valuable.......2005-11-12

    There are several books available on hiking in New Mexico. This was the one I wound up using the most on a recent trip to the Guadalupe Mountains National Park. Others, such as Parent's book, were also useful and I would therefore suggest having a look at all available guides. However, Hill's work includes legible photocopies of USGS topographic maps, and most of the newer hiking guides tend to feature homemade maps which give the user far less information.
    In my particular case, the material on trails in and around the Guadalupe Reef was most helpful, as Bill Schneider's recently re-released book on the Guadalupe Mtns and Carlsbad Caverns National Parks doesn't include information on the trails in that part of the Reef in between these two parks, certainly worth visiting for those who are lucky enough to get to this area.
    That the book is ten years old is an obvious drawback; things happen, even in a state like New Mexico that has so much public land. For example, a very hot fire had burned up most of the north face of Capitan by Roswell, rendering the trail up the NE side pretty faint. But of course, if you're not willing to ask questions of the locals in this fairly genial state, and do a bit of poking about yourself, you probably don't belong in a place with such rough and potentially lethal geography anyway.

    5 out of 5 stars Excellent Guide!.......2000-08-01

    My fiancée and I bought this book before we moved to New Mexico in March of 2000. It has proven to be a fantastic guide and we believe that it's the only book you need to explore the state on foot. Well organized by area with great trail descriptions and maps. A wonderful book!

    4 out of 5 stars Excellent summary of Wilderness Areas.......2004-06-03

    Despite reviews by people from out of state, this book is an excellent source of information on the Wilderness areas of New Mexico. I only hope they update it soon with any new information. This is obviously not meant to be a hiking guide and is not the reason i purchased it. Finding a good source of all of the wilderness areas of the state on the internet was troublesome, even for me, who surfs a lot. While i could get a good list of the wilderness areas out of the gazeteer, i couldn't get a list of wilderness study areas. The book also gives some trail suggestions which are very helpful, but in the end, i went to other sources. Maybe my honoroble friend from Colorado should stay up there and leave the wilderness areas of New Mexico to us.

    1 out of 5 stars Looking for a climbing/hiking guide? This isn't it!.......2004-05-20

    I honestly don't see why anyone found this book useful. I was totally fooled into buying it by the positive reviews here! The first thing that happened was that I looked at the front page map of the entire state to find out what areas were near the town I will be in for an upcoming trip. The map had lots of highways marked with NO TOWNS OR CITIES. Now maybe New Mexicans all memorized the highway map of their state, but for a visitor the lack of any towns or cities made this key map pretty much useless. The book has lots of nice photos on glossy pages, and gives tons of information on history and ecology of the various wilderness areas. It mentions some hikes and climbs and gives sketchy verbal directions, but if you are looking for a climbing or hiking guide to New Mexico this book is pretty much useless. The "maps" it has for the different areas are not topo maps, but just line maps of some surrounding roads and trails. I bought this book to help me plan some hikes and maybe easy peak climbs while I was in northern New Mexico. If I could return it I would, it will not be useful at all. If you are looking for a climbing guide, or even a guide to serious hiking in New Mexico don't get this book or you will be just as disappointed as I was!

    4 out of 5 stars Great - Almost too great.......2000-06-10

    This is a guide that the hikers, desert rats, and general wilderness afficionados of New Mexico have long been in need of. It is the first truly comprehensive guide to both the known and "desperately need to be known about and protected" areas in the land of enchantment. Not only does it offer good general info about the areas but their historical significance, why they qualify as wilderness, and how people can access the areas. The more major areas all have some additional text, which is clear and intriguing. Also nice are the authors "favorite hikes" for some areas - they are an excellent starting point for the hiker with a limited schedule. The photos which accompany some areas are also spectacular. I have but a few gripes with the book and they are as follows: Some areas could use a little more description - especially about why they are so ecologically important. It would also be nice if the maps were a little better, but they are quite adequate. However my most major complaint lies not with the book itself, It is such a good guide that my "secret" areas will scarce remain secrets...

        4 out of 5 stars Good Doctrinal Overview.......2007-01-11

        This book was extremely helpful and accessible for illustrating general doctrine; however, although it discusses a smattering of major cases (e.g., Palsgraf) and other minor cases that may or may not appear in your torts textbook, it does not provide substantial depth for these cases and does not address important dissents (such as Andrews' dissent in Palsgraf), so you shouldn't attempt to rely on it for that purpose. You could easily get through torts without this book, but given the nature of law school curves, why not give yourself every advantage?

        5 out of 5 stars The best of the E&E series.......2007-01-11

        Torts and Property are the top two E&E books in terms of how helpful they are in covering complex topics for the 1st year law student. This book's layout matches almost perfectly with most torts courses, and the essay exam practices were the most helpful for my finals. Probably the best of the E&E series.

        4 out of 5 stars My Verdict.......2007-01-10

        Found this very helpful in reviewing the course before my Torts exam, recommend strongly...

        4 out of 5 stars Helpful book.......2007-01-04

        I bought this book in addition to other E & E books for other classes. You can definitely get by without the book, not because the book isn't helpful, since the subject matter itself is relatively easy compared to other classes. It was helpful just as a general overview of the subject and in writing outlines.

        4 out of 5 stars Good book to understand concepts & prepare for torts exam.......2006-12-22

        Read this book as you progress along in the course...makes Torts concepts easier to comprehend.

            Book Description

            Twenty years in the making by a distinguished dolphin expert and his associates, The Hawaiian Spinner Dolphin is the first comprehensive scientific natural history of a dolphin species ever written. From their research camp at Kealakeakua Bay in Hawaii, these scientists followed a population of wild spinner dolphins by radiotracking their movements and, with the use of a windowed underwater vessel, observing the details of their underwater social life.
            The authors begin with a description of the spinner dolphin species, its morphology and systematics, and then examine the ocean environment, the organization of dolphin populations, and the way this school-based society of mammals uses shorelines for rest and instruction of the young. The dolphins' reproductive cycle, their vision, vocalization, hearing, breathing, and feeding, and the integration of the school are carefully analyzed. The authors conclude with a comprehensive evolutionary analysis of this marine cultural system, with its behavioral flexibility and high levels of cooperation.
            This absorbing book is the richest source available of new scientific insights about the lives of wild dophins and how their societies evolved at sea.

                    Book Description

                    When he was only sixteen, Matt Damon informed his parents that he was "ready to go professional" with his acting. Since then, he has become one of the most sought-after actors in Hollywood. After a breakthrough performance in Courage Under Fire, he won the starring role of an idealistic young lawyer opposite Claire Danes in The Rainmaker.

                    With his acting career on the rise, Matt concentrated on selling the script he and best friend Ben Affleck had begun while Matt was at Harvard. That film, Good Will Hunting, earned them a Golden Globe Award and an Academy Award® for Best Original Screenplay, in addition to a Best Actor nomination for Matt's portrayal of a genius janitor. A chance meeting with Steven Spielberg led to Matt's title role in Saving Private Ryan with Tom Hanks.

                    Now this down-to-earth actor is looking to the future, tackling roles in several high-profile films, including Kevin Smith's Dogma and Anthony Minghella's (The English Patient) next project. Get the scoop on this boy from Boston who has taken over the Hollywood scene!

                    I enjoyed this informative book on Matt Damon. He is a talented actor (not to mention good looking), and I've always loved watching his movies.

                    5 out of 5 stars "I LOVED him before, but now.....I can't explain it!!!".......1999-03-30

                    I've been "in love" with Matt, if I can call him that... ever since I first saw him and watched his first movie. He is truly gorges, talented, and brillant!!!!!!! I just want to thank him in this liture for being the most beauitful, talented and GORGES person I've ever seen, heard, read, or watched before!!!

                    5 out of 5 stars Oh, My Matt!.......1998-10-05

                    I think Matt Damon is a great influence on young adults. Any one who can write like him, act like him, and be so all together charming has my vote! Yeah, Leo's cute, but his head is way up in the clouds! And he can't write like Matt!! I loved this book, I also bought Golden Boy;a biography and Matt Damon and Ben Affleck;on and off screen I recomend them all!!

                    5 out of 5 stars This is an outstanding book for Damon fans young and old........1998-07-07

                    Without a doubt, Matt Damon is one of the most exciting new faces to have recently entered the Hollywood scene. This book does a terrific job of balancing the cultural influences that created Mr. Damon's charming sensibility, with an insider's take at Matt's past, present and future projects. Whether you are shopping for an adoring child, or you find yourself strangley curious about this rising new star, I whole-heartedly reccomend this "perfect" summer read.

                    I bought this book for the sole purpose of learning what I can do as an actor to mimic Damon's success and what does this book tell me? Absolutely nothing.

                    4 out of 5 stars Cool book...if ya wanna learn about Matt........1999-06-13

                    This book combined every fact known to the "been around awhile" fan, but..would be a terrific read for someone that isn't too familiar with Matt, but would like to learn. Great pics inside & tons of cool quotes. I dug the book, but wish it'd have had a little more "exclusive" info.

                    GOOD MATT DAMON

                    With his broad smile and boyish charm, Matt Damon is taking the world by storm. This Harvard-educated hunk is the brightest new star in the Hollywood heavens. In a career that began with a one-line gig in the movie Mystic Pizza, Damon worked his way to the top, making his A-list breakthrough in the film The Rainmaker. But when he and best friend Ben Affleck won the Golden Globe for Best Screenplay for Good Will Hunting, followed by two Academy Award nominations, his place in the superstar pantheon was confirmed.

                    In GOLDEN BOY, you'll find out everything you ever wanted to know about this Boston babe--from his modest beginnings and life on a commune to his years at Harvard University and decision to try his hand at acting. You'll also get the down-and-dirty on his off-screen romances with his leading ladies. Matt Damon is the hottest guy around--now here's your chance to take him home!

                    3 out of 5 stars quick read.......2001-01-14

                    This was a good quick read. But that's mainly due to the fact that every other page is nearly blank and the last half of the book is filmographies. There isn't a lot of new stuff and there are better biographies, but if you're looking for a quick easy read, then this book will do. There's a few small pictures thrown into the middle of book for no reason, but they're okay. The filmographies at the end of the book are probably just an attempt to fill up space, as are the 20 or so little one-sentence facts that take-up one page a piece. If you're looking for a biography with a lot of substance look elsewhere, but if you're looking for a quick easy read then Golden Boy will do. Review by mattdamonfanpage.com.

                    1 out of 5 stars IF YOU ARE TRULY A MATT DAMON FAN .......1999-07-04

                    This book was compiled of mostly useless little tidbits, that I already knew. If you don't know ANYTHING about matt damon and want to then go ahead and read, otherwise DO NOT waste your time. I feel sorry if you already have and I understand how you must feel. I also think the author should have just donw more research, there is a lot of info out there.

                    1 out of 5 stars DO NOT READ.......1999-07-04

                    IT IS SIMPLY A WASTE OF TIME. I WAS LOOKING FOR A BOOK THAT LET ME REALLY LEARN SOMETHING ABOUT MATT DAMON, THIS WAS NOT IT. I HAVE LOOKED FOR THAT BOOK AND I AM STILL LOOKING, SO IF YOU FIND ONE, TELL ME. THANK YOU

                    1 out of 5 stars WARNING WARNING STAY AWAY.......1999-07-04

                    THIS IS A BOOK OF NO VALUE. DONT GET ME WRONG, I LOVE MATT DAMON, BUT THIS BOOK JUST DOES NOT DO HIM ANY GOOD. IT IS USELESS AND YOU SHOULD GO READ A BETTER BOOK, LIKE ASIMOV'S "FOUNDATION'S EDGE"

                    1 out of 5 stars THIS BOOK IS BAD.......1999-06-10

                    TO BAD I HAD TO GIVE IT 1 STAR, IF IT WERE UP TO ME I'D GIVE IT 0, NO NEGATIVE 10. I AM A HUGE MATT DAON FAN AND HE IS SO FINE, EVEN SO THIS BOOK WAS POORLY WRITTEN AND SHOULD BE BURNED.

                            The book had some interesting stuff, but nothing that I didn't know before. It also talked to much abour other people like Robin Williams and Gywneth Paltrow. The pictures were the best part.

                            I love Ben Affleck, so i thought this book was good. But it had things in it that had nothing to do Ben Affleck or Matt Damon.

                            4 out of 5 stars The best biography to date..........2002-08-27

                            In my opinion, this biography is the best one to date, even though it's from Britain. It goes through Matt's earlier work, like Rising Son and School Ties, up to and including Rounders. It was published in 1998, so it's lacking the newer films that he's done, but if you're a fan of Matt, I'd definitely recommend it.

                            4 out of 5 stars MATT MATT MATT!.......2000-03-29

                            It's about Ben too! The most interesting aspect of Matt is his childhood, what makes him tick. This book has lots of stuff about Boston and Matt as a little kid. I like it because it's about Ben too. They really are best friends. They've known each other for a long time. People think that Matt and Ben got famous overnight, but they didn't really. They worked really hard and deserve everything that they've accomplished. It wasn't fate or anything like that. They lived on Spam and top ramen for a long time like anybody else. After I read this book I felt like I got to know Matt better as a person instead of just the hotty that he is.
