    Book Description

    Deep in the heart of the Sonoran Desert lies an oasis of ebony mountains, golden poppies, stately saguaros--and the organ pipe cactus, "a prickly octopus turned on its head." Located in southwestern Arizona on the Mexican border, Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument is an isolated park that for Carol Ann Bassett has long been a place of solitude. In this book she introduces readers to the park's natural and cultural heritage while Michael Hyatt visually documents its subtle beauty.

      Book Description

      How can you stay safe while traveling or living abroad? International terrorism, hijackings, hostage situations, and street crime have made personal security and terrorism awareness a concern and indeed a critical necessity for all Americans. Awareness and proper planning are the most effective tools available to travelers for dealing with these threats.

      Personal Security & Terrorism Awareness is designed and created by former U.S. Army Special Forces personnel and based on information and training provided to U.S. government and military personnel working and operating in high-risk areas. It is a “must-read” for all Americans traveling or living abroad.

      5 out of 5 stars Practical advice for protecting one's life.......2002-07-06

      Dedicated to the victims of the September 11 attacks, Personal Security & Terrorism Awareness: A Comprehensive Risk Reduction Guide For The American Traveler is an absolute must-read for all travelers abroad, whether venturing to nations fraught with conflict or foreign destinations that are relatively safe. The basic, sound, practical, "user friendly" advice for protecting oneself against theft, kidnaping, assault, or arrest by the authorities is potentially life-saving. Tips include never leaving personal information about oneself in a car or marked on luggage tags; always assuming that communication is monitored; women should never wear jewelry yet should wear a wedding band regardless of marital status (as marriage is sometimes given high respect in foreign cultures -- especially Islamic ones); and much more. Personal Security & Terrorism Awareness is addressed in particular to American Travelers, yet the practical advice for protecting one's life is useful to just about everyone. If you are planning a trip abroad for either business or pleasure, begin preparations by giving Personal Security & Terrorism Awareness a complete and careful reading.

      5 out of 5 stars Great book!.......2002-04-08

      As a martial arts instructor, I am routinely involved in teaching personal self defense and evaluation of your surroundings. Many books and resources offer instruction in self-defense, but this book is one of the few resources that gives us insight into the most effective information available for personal security and safety...the same information taught to our military. After September 11th, every American's life changed forever. This resource is just what we need to help us take control of our fear, lives, and surroundings.

      Book Description

      A heartwarming journey to self-discovery

      When sixteen-year-old Sally Jo Walker, known as Jody, is abandoned at a gas station by her husband after he hits her, she summons up all the courage she can to move forward. With just twenty dollars to her name, she begins a new life in Jackson Beach, Florida, washing dishes at Thelma's Open 24-Hour Café and sneaking into the cineplex at night to sleep. Eventually she saves up enough money to rent a cheap motel room. There she gets to know Effaline, and comes to see that here's a girl who is more alone and lost than she is. Jody is going to save her. And in trying to do so, Jody might just save herself.

      At turns heart-wrenching and funny, Valerie Hobbs's latest novel introduces readers to an unforgettable and surprising young woman who manages to break free of an abusive relationship and finds true strength and her "self of steam."

      1 out of 5 stars Southern bashing book.......2005-08-10

      I am getting tired of these liberal authors writing books about southern characters. I knew from page one I wouldn't like this book. It's like a bad southern joke that never ends. The way the girl speaks is completely unreal. She talks like a backwoods hick from the 1930s. It's not common for 16 yr olds today in any part of the country to get married and leave high school. I'm sure it happens, but it's not something that's common in the south. The girl acts like a mental retarded 8 yr old. I am extremely angry that this author portrays a southern girl in this way as if it's typical. I can't believe the author actually gets pad to teach writing. Her skills are lacking. Her characters are phony. There is no depth in her writing. If you want to read a good book that has a similar story read Where the heart is.

      5 out of 5 stars Poignant and funny novel about relationships.......2004-09-07

      Sally Jo (Jody) Walker is a young woman from Purley, Texas who seems to enjoy coleslaw --- so much so that she has to share her own special recipe with everyone. This appears to be the main subject of her letter to a businessman named Mr. Teeter. But LETTING GO OF BOBBY JAMES isn't just a simple commentary on what the best recipe for coleslaw is or the fine convenience of food markets. It's the story of how a young woman's determination to make a better life for herself unwittingly changes the lives of those around her.

      Jody is only sixteen when she marries a young man named Bobby James. They met at a school dance, and it seemed to be love at first sight. They are now on vacation in Florida and Jody doesn't think life can get any better than this. But Jody's perspective on life changes drastically when Bobby slaps her and she hides in the gas station restroom. It is at this point that Jody decides to create a new future for herself --- without her husband.

      After taking a bus to Jackson Beach and spending the night in a parked car, Jody begins searching for a job. She is hired as a dishwasher at Thelma's Open 24-Hour Cafe and Grill and becomes friends with a waitress named Marilyn. The only thing left for Jody to do is to find somewhere to sleep. She decides that the best place is the local cineplex. The next day she goes to a thrift shop to buy some work supplies and witnesses the plight of a weary cashier, who seems to be in a worse situation than Jody.

      Jody later finds out just how bad the situation is. The girl is named Effaline; she is pregnant, living in a shabby apartment complex, and is currently unemployed. The two teens quickly become friends and Jody returns to the cineplex for the night. She writes a letter to her mother in the ladies' restroom and then goes to sleep in the theater. When she wakes up, she meets a sweeper named Dooley who is worried about losing his job, but wants to be Jody's friend nonetheless.

      Jody slowly starts to form a new life and future for herself. At the same time, though, she's trying to deal with the unfortunate fact that the relationship with her family will never be the same again. She meets a few more interesting people and realizes how unique her life is becoming, especially when disaster strikes and Effaline, Dooley and Jody are faced with one of the greatest tests of all --- a test that, in the end, shows just how Jody found herself "full of steam."

      LETTING GO OF BOBBY JAMES is a very good book that stresses the importance of each person's life, no matter how simple it may be. The story is poignant and funny, in terms of the relationships between Jody and her friends and co-workers. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading realistic fiction or has delved into Valerie Hobbs's work before. Just like Jody's coleslaw, you'll find yourself wanting more after the first taste.

        Book Description

        This transcription of notes made by Charles Darwin during the voyage of H. M. S. Beagle records his observations of the animals and plants that he encountered, and provides a valuable insight into the intellectual development of one of our most influential scientists. Darwin drew on many of these notes for his well known Journal of Researches (1839), but the majority of them have remained unpublished. This volume provides numerous examples of his unimpeachable accuracy in describing the wide range of animals seen in the course of his travels, and of his closely analytical approach towards every one of his observations. Only at the very end of the voyage were his first doubts about the immutability of species expressed consciously, but here are to be found the initial seeds of his theory of evolution, and of the fields of behavioural and ecological study of which he was one of the founding fathers.

                              Book Description

                              This invaluable book distils the research accomplishments of Professor Fred Basolo during the five decades when he served as a world leader in the modern renaissance of inorganic chemistry. Its primary focus is on the very important area of chemistry known as coordination chemistry.

                              Most of the elements in the periodic table are metals, and most of the chemistry of metals involves coordination chemistry. This is the case in the currently significant areas of research, including organometallic homogenous catalysis, biological reactions of metalloproteins, and even the solid state extended structures of new materials. In these systems, the metals are of primary importance because they are the sites of ligand substitution or redox reactions. In the solid materials, the coordination number of the metal and its stereochemistry are of major importance.

                              Some fifty years of research on transition metal complexes carried out in the laboratory of Professor Basolo at Northwestern University is recorded here as selected scientific publications. The book is divided into three different major research areas, each dealing with some aspect of coordination chemistry. In each case, introductory remarks are presented which indicate what prompted the research projects and what the major accomplishments were. Although the research was of the academic, curiosity-driven type, some aspects have proven to be useful to others involved in projects that were much more applied in nature.

                                    5 out of 5 stars Wilde's lowest moments .......2007-01-15

                                    Written as a letter to Bosie, De Profundis shows an author at the peak of his powers, yet tragically already fallen. Anger, disgust, revulsion, joy, reflection - in many ways a total separation from the glib and cocky literature that made him famous - the full gamut of a humbled man. Even missing the cheeky humor and quick turn of phrase there is still a solid thread of consistency entombed in De Profundis, that of salvation. From the grace evident in his fairy tales to the recognition of inner justice in Dorian Gray, Wilde flirted with the themes of the Divine and of sacrifice. This is one of the finest, and most powerful, personal essays ever committed to paper. No collection, or indeed beginnings of understanding, of Wilde can possibly be complete without it.

                                            De Profundis is Wilde's eloquent and bitter reproach from prison to his lover, Lord Alfred Douglas. He contrasts his behaviour with that of his close friend Robert Ross who became Wilde's literary executor. The Ballad of Reading Gaol is a deeply moving and characteristically generous poem on the horrors of prison life, which was published anonymously in 1898. This collection also includes the essay The Soul of Man under Socialism and two of his Platonic dialogues, The Decay of Lying and The Critic as Artist.

                                            5 out of 5 stars Ballad of Reading Gaol and De Profundis.......2000-06-04

                                            This edition contains the two best pieces of Wilde's writing. The poem "Ballad" is strong in its sense of poetry and imagery without being sing-songy. De Profundis, while a little difficult to wade through at certain points, simply captures many of life's truths and sets them down in the written word, to be studied, remembered and savored all at once.
