5 out of 5 stars A fine tree book for a wide swath of the West.......1998-04-22

Wild Trees of Idaho is, in completeness and competence, one of the best state tree books available in the U.S. But because Idaho's flora has affinities to the boreal forests to its north, the Pacific Northwest rainforest, the Great Basin, Rocky Mountains, and Great Plains, this book is a must for tree enthusiasts from all of Idaho's neighbor states and Canadian provinces as well. More than an identification guide (though a good example of that genre), Wild Trees opens with a broad account of how Idaho's forests evolved over the last hundred million years; and an ecological essay on its present-day vegetation communities. Idaho's sylvan richness, including its many introduced naturalized species, make for a varied array of broadleaved and coniferous species. Each receives a page of text and one of black/white illustrations. There is an 8-page color insert containing brilliant photos of 78 species. Key identification characters are stressed, as are locations in Idaho where noteworthy specimens of each species can be seen, data on the largest Idaho specimens, and generally very reliable natural history information. The writing style is folksy and accessible, yet technically of a high level. This book has a lot to teach.

        Book Description

        In Mountains of Memory, seasoned wilderness dweller Don Scheese charts a long season of watching for and fighting fires in Idaho's River of No Return Wilderness the largest federal wilderness area in the mainland United States. An inspiring tale of self-discovery, Mountains of Memory paints a complex portrait of the natural, institutional, and historical forces that have shaped the great forested landscapes of the American West.

        A student of nature writing as well as a fire lookout with over a decade of experience, Scheese recounts his life at the top of the world, along with daring adventures such as backpacking and mountaineering in the Bighorn Crags and kayaking down the Middle Fork of the Salmon River. All the while, he touches upon the mysterious and powerful realities of the wilderness around him stunning dawns visible within the glass cage perched on a 9,000-foot mountain, stirring flashes of lightning visible all around the dark landscape as the radio crackles with reports of strikes observed and fires spotted, long-awaited trips down the mountain to civilization for cold beer and hot pizza.

        In the tradition of Edward Abbey and Gary Snyder, Don Scheese offers readers a meditation on the meaning and value of wilderness at the beginning of the twenty-first century.

                Comments on Trees in Idaho

                A new release, Trees in Idaho, is now available for use in identifying Idaho's trees. Trees in Idaho uses nontechnical language (followed in parenthesis by the frequently used technical terms) so it is easy for beginners to understand, yet is scientifically correct. The book is profusely illustrated with over 1000 original drawings. Major keys are illustrated, improving greatly the ease and reliability of tree identification. Tree parts are illustrated from living material and amplify the written descriptions for each genus and species. Also, included are updated distribution maps, and new tree silhouettes for the tree species. Over 348 kinds of native and cultivated trees can be identified using this book, along with your own patient, critical observation.

                Descriptions of each tree make up the bulk of the book. Tree size, winter hardiness ratings, specific instructions for propagation of seeds and cuttings, and culture are added to the descriptions for each species. Diseases and pests reported on the trees are listed and briefly described. The meanings of stem words, making up the genus and species technical names, are provided. A pronunciation of each technical name is given as well as common names.

                Individual chapters on 1) Planting trees, includes caring for trees, growing trees from a) seeds (includes stratification times), and b) cuttings (includes season and type of treatment for propagation); 2) Making your own Keys; 3) Measuring Trees; and 4) Adopting a Tree.

                Trees in Idaho is an indispensable basic reference for all libraries. Homeowners, gardeners, teachers, students, scouts and 4-H groups, naturalists, landscapers, and scientists will all find this a useful reference. A classroom set of Trees in Idaho, provides an invaluable learning tool for hands-on experiences for secondary school students for identifying trees. It helps teach critical observation, reading, comprehension, organization, classification, measurement, and other processes of science, as well as content. Special discounts are provided to encourage classroom and field use by individual students, until June 30, 1997.

                        This is a AIR FORCE INST OF TECH WRIGHT-PATTERSONAFB OH SCHOOL OF LOGISTICS AND ACQUISITION MANAGEMENT report procured by the Pentagon and made available for public release. It has been reproduced in the best form available to the Pentagon. It is not spiral-bound, but rather assembled with Velobinding in a soft, white linen cover. The Storming Media report number is A758034. The abstract provided by the Pentagon follows: This paper is a critical review of bare beach logistics over-the- shore (LOTS) operations. It examines the utility of the bare beach and asks if this method of LOTS is still viable for today's military. It begins with a general description of LOTS and describes unique characteristics of the bare beach operation. It then reviews the history of LOTS from World War II through the present day. This historical perspective gives insight into the utility that LOTS provided in past campaigns and what might be expected of LOTS in support of present day operations. It then investigates three constraints limiting the utility of bare beach LOTS operations: number and location of watercraft, sea state minimums, and infrastructure beyond the beach. This review of bare beach LOTS reveals that it is a high-cost, high-risk, and often unreliable operation that does not meet operational requirements of the regional warfighting CINCs. Next the operation is viewed from the warfighter's perspective. From this vantage, bare beach LOTS may be the logistics support option with the lowest operational cost, and therefore of great utility regardless of the logistical cost. In conclusion, this paper emphasizes the need to improve and enhance bare beach LOTS capability to adequately support the warfighter.

                                3 out of 5 stars don't get both books.......2007-09-22

                                I recommend not buying both of the Few books - there's what seems to be quite a bit of overlapping content between them -- pick the one book that is closer to what you're working on and just get that one, it'll cover what you need.

                                There are some interesting concepts in here - if you read his blog you'll have a really good idea for what you're getting.

                                5 out of 5 stars Great Book for Business.......2007-07-12

                                Show Me the Numbers provides the practical and useful information needed to creat tables and graphs to effectively tell your quantitative story. Through numerous examples and illustrations, Stephen Few points out the good, the bad, and the just plain ugly ways that quantitative data can be presented. Numbers are important to any business. This book provides the reader with the tools needed to fluently communicate using the language of numbers.

                                2 out of 5 stars Not a Great Advance.......2007-05-13

                                This is a very basic overview of easy descriptive statistics, combined with some Tufte-esque notes on graph display, but for the more sophisticated reader on metrics/data/stats, this is not a real keeper. About 20% of it was new or thought-provoking, so if you're already well-read on this topic, don't get this one.

                                4 out of 5 stars Excellent Book.......2007-04-12

                                This is a great book which clearly elucidates design principles. The fact that all the graphs explained are created in Excel also makes the book more practicable.

                                4 out of 5 stars Good graph/table, insightful techniques, clumsy writing.......2007-01-28

                                The book's content is good and useful for the analyst who needs to present numbers concisely and clearly, making people understand at the first sight.

                                However, the writing of the book is a bit clumsy. The book progresses slowly.This book makes its point only at the middle of the book. I was expecting the book went straight to the point to share about the techniques of presenting numbers effectively at the very front pages.

                                          I found this book to be very enlightening about the adult movie business, as well as the strip clubs and mens magazine empires. The book focuses more on the businesses than it does the author, although there is extensive personal information given. It seems that the information given is just enough to explain the actions the author took. It moves fast, so you must give it undivided attention to catch the details. I particularly appreciated the ending and the sumarization of the author's opinions. The review of the book before this one, I feel, does not understand the author's desire to keep her more personal life private. I can understand why she would feel this way, and I read it for the information on the businesses afore mentioned, not necessarily for an interest in the author herself.

                                          3 out of 5 stars Autobiography could be much improved........2001-07-09

                                          While this book is interesting it is ultimately disappointing. The disappointment comes in two areas. The first and simplist is that the book needs extensive editing. Simple proofreading should have removed numerous spelling errors and other problems with basic English. While these things do not prevent the understanding of the text they are distracting and reduce the effectiveness of any piece. A good editor would also have improved the consistency of the book. Characters are introduced with little explanation and names are adjusted in a confusing manner. Many areas cry out for more background. There are almost never any dates mentioned in the book so it becomes very hard to keep track of how long it is between events. One simple example of lack of details is the one sentence mentioning that it was a good thing the author had decided to home-school her children. There was never any background about how this decision was reached, who did the teaching, or what the results seem to have been. There is just so much in the story that received too little attention.

                                          The second problem is that the book purports to be a look behind the x-rated business and while it touches this the main point of the book is to complain about what had been done to the author by everyone she had ever met and to justify her actions based on this. If her first husband ever offered even as much as emotional support after their marriage it isn't mentioned. Even concerning her present husband there is nothing about what he has done to help her or how they love each other. He is introduced and married in a paragraph which is summed up by saying they dated for a year and then got married. The book sounds like a catharsis and that can be a good thing for the author but for the rest of us a more balanced story would fill out the portrait of the author. The book is not a bad idea but an extensive rewrite under the direction of a good editor would lengthen the book and make it a much better document.

                                          Classic English Interiors is a sumptuous showcase for a distinctive style that is now as popular in Manhattan as in the country houses of England.

The first half reveals the private and the pubic side of Blenheim Palace, her ancestral home, explores the country houses of Oxfordshire from which Lady Henrietta drew much of her inspiration and features selections from Woodstock Designs portfolio. Her fascinating text reveals life behind the scenes in some of Britain's most beautiful country houses. Hundreds of specially commissioned photographs show she translated the confident sweep of classic English style to produce homes of great elegance; comfortable family spaces; fresh, simple schemes and smart, stylish ones.

                                          Very beautiful book, I enjoy looking at it, lovely (mostly formal) drapery ideas, but for the money, I wish I could have checked it out at the library.

                                          Classic English Interiors is a great book depicting the more upper-scale homes/interiors of England. The photos are exceptionally good too. If you are contemplating using English style in your decorating scheme, this is surely a good book of information and photos.

                                          Every history buff wishes that walls could talk. In this first book ever written about Blenheim and the Churchills by a family member, Lady Henrietta Spencer-Churchill explores the relationship between one of history's most important families and its ancestral home. As though perusing a family album, she conveys the family's exceptional history and how each generation changed the estate and how it changed them. Momentous events that changed the course of history are recounted as family reminiscences. Blenheim was a reward from Queen Anne to the first Duke of Marlborough for saving much of Europe from the domination of Louis XIV, and instantly became the family's center stage. Sir Winston Churchill was born in a back bedroom to his American-born mother, Jennie Jerome. Later, he directed Britain's World War II efforts from its study. Blenheim has witnessed some of history's most colorful characters including the ancestors of the late Diana, Princess of Wales, and Consuelo Vanderbilt, the American heiress who conquered British high society.Widely considered England's finest example of baroque architecture, this is a rare glimpse into parts of the house never seen on public tours, and no history buff or visitor will want to be without this remarkable guide.

                                          5 out of 5 stars Great book.......2007-10-14

                                          Not only does this book have great pictures but Henrietta Churchill-Spender dishes on the gossip about her illustrious ancestors. I was privileged to enjoy a tour of the private quarters of the Duke at Blenheim Palace and lots of the pictures are of parts of his home not always open to the public. There is even a picture of the Duke's favorite old green leather chair. Beautiful book with beautiful pictures of a magnificent home.

                                          The Spencer-Churchills are a remarkable family. This well-illustrated, handsomely produced account by a member of the family, is a fascinating 400 year social history of this clan.

                                          Meant for a wide audience, this work gives a sneak peek into the private lives of some of England's best, such as John Churchill, the first Duke, and Sir Winston Churchill.

                                          The unique illustrations alone make the book worth buying. A must have for any lover of royalty, Sir Winston, the Stuart Dynasty, English biography, or social history.

                                          This is a very good book on a fascinating family and a grand estate. Blenheim is without doubt the grandest of the non royal estates, it really is quite a stack of stones. The history makes the house all the more interesting. From the first Duke of Marlborough to Consuelo Vanderbilt to Winston Churchill, this estate has really seen some history. The images in this book are very good and the text is very well researched. Looking at the sumptuousness of this colosses, it is apparent that Queen Anne was more that a little pleased with the Dukes campaigns against the Sun King, for this estate was much nicer than anything the Crown possessed.

                                          I received this book as a gift and it has been read and looked at many, many times. The photographs by Andreas von Einsiedel and Geoff Dann are stunning and show the splendours of Blenheim Palace in all their ancient glory.

                                          There is an informative genealogical table and the bibliography is short but informative - especially when the author used Marian Fowlers book, Blenheim: Biography of a Palace (1991) as a source.

                                          This is the perfect coffe table book and would make a glorious Christmas or Hannukah gift.

                                          Very highly recommended - especially for the photographs.
