Don Scheese Manufacturer: University Of Iowa Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items: ASIN: 0877457832 |
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 IdahoA new release, Trees in Idaho, is now available for use in identifying Idaho's trees.

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.

Bare Beach Logistics Over-the-Shore: An Outdated Concept?
Manufacturer: Storming Media ProductGroup: Book Binding: Spiral-bound ASIN: 1423587200 |
Product Description
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.

Customer Reviews:
A great look at the adult entertainment business.......2001-09-30
Autobiography could be much improved........2001-07-09
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.

Blenheim And the Churchill Family: A Personal Portrait
Henrietta Spencer-Churchill Manufacturer: Rizzoli ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items:
ASIN: 0847827402 Release Date: 2005-10-25 |
Book Description
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.Customer Reviews:
