Book Description

INTRODUCTION

Few areas of North America owe so little to national and provincial boundaries as the Pacific Northwest. A loosely defined region cutting across the western redoubts of both the United States and Canada, it's geographically isolated from the rest of the continent and looks out across the Pacific almost as much as it refers back east to the older, federal centres of power in Ottawa and Washington DC. Extending from Oregon and Washington in the south, then hopscotching through British Columbia and the Canadian Rockies to the Yukon in the north, it encompasses - most impressively of all - richly varied and awe-inspiring landscapes. Mountains, lakes and pristine wilderness are the finest features, with abundant wildlife offering the chance to see creatures - from whales to wolves - in their natural habitats. But it is also a region of high historical adventure, the stuff of a thousand cowboy movies, and home to intriguing Native-American and Inuit cultures, superb cuisine (seafood in particular), state-of-the-art museums and some of the most urbane and civilized cities in North America.

Leading the way in this last respect are Vancouver and Seattle, both dynamic, cosmopolitan and instantly likeable - and destined to be pivotal points of any trip. Vancouver is preceded by a well-deserved reputation as one of the world's most beautiful cities, cradled in a mountain and seafront setting that provides its laid-back citizens with all manner of hedonistic possibilities from hiking, skiing and sailing to world-class theatre and the more simple West Coast pleasures of bar-hopping and beach-bumming. Seattle, though somewhat grittier, also benefits from a dramatic setting: its hilly suburbs bump around the deep blue of the Pacific Ocean, while its busy, bristling centre is alive with great restaurants and some of the finest live-music nightspots around.

Of the smaller cities, genteel Portland is perhaps the most agreeable, its downtown peopled by latte-drinking urbanites and graced with whimsical street sculptures. But not far behind comes Victoria, on Vancouver Island, which offers an ersatz taste of old England as well as one of the continent's finest museums. Calgary comes alive during its famous Stampede, and also boasts a glittering oil-funded downtown, an appealing base for trips to the Rockies and the fine sights of southern Alberta. Similarly well-placed is Oregon's Bend, a relaxed and energetic resort just a few minutes' drive from the mountains and a medley of fascinating volcanic remains.

Indeed, many visitors regard the cities of the Pacific Northwest as little more than a preamble to the region's land and seascapes, and it's certainly true that these attract inordinate amounts of purple prose - with every justification. Put baldly, this is one of the world's most beautiful places, embracing majestic peaks, icy glaciers, thundering rivers, swaths of Arctic tundra, smoking volcanoes, dramatic sea cliffs, long driftwood-covered beaches and endless forests. There are some scenic surprises too amongst the less familiar terrain of the Pacific Northwest, ranging from the sun-scorched, sagebrush plateau of eastern Oregon and to wetlands, house-sized sand dunes, brightly coloured fossil beds, temperate rainforests and benignly rippling grasslands. Much of this remains as wilderness, wild and empty and barely touched by the twentieth century, yet at the same time rendered accessible by a network of superbly run national, state and provincial parks.

Almost any part of this giant-sized wilderness will provide enough jaw-dropping scenery, hiking trails and outdoor pursuits to last a long vacation. There are, however, several obvious highlights beginning in the south with the magnificent sand- and rock-strewn Oregon coastline and, just inland, the southern reaches of the Cascade Mountains, which shelter elegiac Crater Lake and the geological oddities - cinder cones and lava caves and forests - of the Newberry National Volcanic Monument. In Washington you can choose from the lush landscape of the Olympic Peninsula, with its glacial peaks, temperate rainforests, and storm-tossed seashore, and the northern continuation of the Cascades, including Mount St Helens, whose dramatic eruption captured world headlines in 1980. Across the Canadian border, the Rockies continue in a huge northward sweep towards the Yukon, displaying some of their grandest scenery within Alberta's Banff and Jasper national parks. West of here, offshore enclaves like Vancouver Island, the Haida Gwaii and the San Juan archipelago offer a unique and beguiling blend of mountain and maritime scenery. Further north, the Yukon is a foretaste both of Alaska's dramatic landscapes - vast glaciers nestling between ferociously cold mountains, and caribou roaming across the tundra - and of the often individual-cum-eccentric outlook of the people who choose to live on one of the world's last frontiers.

This album is no good after 1998!.......2002-12-16

The Whitman brand name has been a icon in coin collecting for years. When I started collecting in the early 90s, I used their folders, including this one. So what's the problem with this folder? The folder goes up to the year 2000. In 1999, a 10 year series of quarters was started to honor each state. That means as of 1998, there will be no eagle reverse Washington quarters until the year 2009, if at all. In other words, If you want to keep your Washington quarter current, you WILL NEED one of Whitman's statehood quarter folders. If you want to wait until 2009 for an eagle reverse Washington quarter, then stick with this folder.

So Many Projects, So Little Time.......2007-07-08

I'm so inspired by this book, that I can hardly wait to get home from vacation so I can pull out my craft supplies. One project is a vacation journal with a cover sprinkled with sand and sea shells. It's beautiful.
She shows a variety of designs and techniques like weaving torn paper, using embossing liquid, and making your own special papers (one uses corn silks). I like the examples using lace to frame an old photo, and ways to dress up ordinary books (a standard visitor's book and a ring binder). These are great for personal use or make very special gifts.

Lavish Visuals.......2002-04-29

Anna Morgan has the eye of a czarina when it comes to creating visual richness. The book is full of marvelous ideas great and small, many of which are quite inexpensive. For example, she suggests saving colored foil candy wrappers to smooth out and use as raw material to decorate the covers of books. Now why didn't I think of that the last time I crumpled and discarded a candy wrapper?

Morgan presents three categories of ideas: ones to use in decorating the covers of books, ones to use in embellishing the interior pages of books, and ones to use in making unusual books themselves.It has very clear instructions for all the projects, and has many detailed photographs and drawings. Very useful are variations on each idea, so you can see examples of how she takes her concept and reapplies it to make it look totally different.

If this book has a fault, it is that papermaking and bookbinding, both of which are described in the book, might each be the subject of detailed treatises much longer than this volume. No matter, this book is an inspiration.

This intriguing and practical book offers 600 pages of snippets of advice and information from dozens of physicians and other experts about ways you can prevent more than 130 illnesses, using mostly commonsense approaches and nutrition. Topics covered are varied, including all the usual (colds, cancer, heart disease) plus more-personal conditions, such as anal itching (avoid spicy foods, coffee, and scratchy toilet paper), bad breath (brush your tongue and the roof of your mouth as well as your teeth, drink plenty of water, and minimize high-protein foods and coffee), diarrhea (avoid sorbitol, milk, and honey, and give refrigerated foods the "sniff test"), and heartburn (eat seaweed and avoid drinks that combine alcohol and citrus, whole milk, or tomato). There are also a few recipes: A-Plus Stew (with vitamin A for adult acne), Vitality Pasta (high in iron for anemia), Pearly White Salsa (spicy for cavity prevention), Stomach- Soothing Salad (with sea vegetables for heartburn), and Fiber-Power Muffins (with wheat bran for preventing colon cancer). The book is fun to read, practical, and full of tidbits guaranteed to elicit a reaction of "Oh, I didn't know that!" You'll want to keep it handy and reach for it often. --Joan Price

Very Comprehensive Guide to Preventing Disease.......1999-06-11

This is definately an excellent book on how to live a healthy life and prevent the kind of life altering diseases that affect so many people at various stages of their lives. I've read a lot of books on the subject, but this one by far is the best books on actually "preventing disease". Very comprehensive in its scope.

Book Description

Shania Twain has become one of the biggest names in country music. But the millions who have bought such smash-hit albums as The Woman in Me don't know the whole story--revealed here for the first time and based on extensive interviews with Twain's friends, family and colleagues.

Fans will learn about Twain's turbulent childhood, the devastating loss of her parents when she was only 21, the creative dynamic she enjoys with her husband, producer "Mutt" Lange, the influence of her Native American background on her life and career, and much more. Also included are eight pages of photos, a discography, lists of awards, and other facts for those who want to know more about this superb singer and songwriter who's truly "on her way."

Shania's Road To Fame.......2005-08-24

I enjoy many of Shania's songs. I checked this book out at the library to get a little more insight into this beautiful singer. Shania has many good qualities like determination, intelligence and dedication. But I also noticed that Shania can be cold, deceiving and greedy. I based these observations based on what I read in this book.

I don't see her as a real country singer. She's a pop singer because she sings everything and used Nashville as a springboard to international success thanks to Mutt Lange. Shania's public persona is highly contradicting and I like clear cut people, even if I dislike them. At least I know who they really are. I still like some of her music, but I find her to be fake because she tries to hard to be all things to all people.

I also don't like how she's exploited her personal life for her own gain. Shania's publicity personnel makes it look like she's the only country singer to grow up poor and hungry. Isn't that the life of your typical country singer? To make Shania look more interesting she and her people ran a campaign on her exaggerated Native heritage. So now she's poor and Native. What a great way to sell records, right? Since when does being adopted by a Native Canadian make you one? I guess that means that Angelina Jolie's Cambodian and Ethiopian children are now Caucasian because they are being brought up by an Anglo mother. It's the same concept.

Then Shania demands privacy after she's courted the press and blabbed about her personal life ranging from her mustard sandwiches to how old she was when she gave it up. She even requested to not have her records promoted in Switzerland in order to avoid the press after she created all of this. How hypocritical is that? You can't have your cake and eat it.

Shania talks about how down to earth and unaffected by fame she is yet has a 100 room Swiss chateau and a huge chunk of land in New Zealand. Does this scream diva or what? Ka-Ching! Pun intended. I normally wouldn't care about these things, but I hold people to their word.

These are some of the things that irk me about Shania.

The book talks about a performance she had with The Boss. Well, I never saw or heard the likes of it. I even checked it out online. Was this made up by the author? The author made some statements that I was not able to verify later. This takes away from her credibility. Some things were verifyable such as her 1995 performance at Fan Fair where she was concerned that she didn't sound well because there were technical difficulties.

Overall, the book was a good read because they discuss the politics in the music biz and if you are a die hard Shania Fan you'll love anything with her name on it.

good.......2001-10-14

It's a good book. I'm not sure how accurate it is but it kept my interest.

AWESOME BOOK!.......1999-06-12

Very detailed and interesting. I got 2 Shania biographies for Christmas 98 but this one was the bomb. It is very good.

THIS BOOK ROCKS!!!.......1999-05-17

Shania Twain is so cool. I am doing a repot on her for school. so i brought this book! Shania Is the bomb.

excellent WAY BETTER than "On Her Way",by Dallas Williams.......1999-04-18

She says her parents died when she was 22 on the inside, but on the back, it says she was 21. Talk about MESSED UP!!!!!!
