Thoughtful Mix of Philosophy and Climbing Stories.......2005-08-11

In twelve chapters Jack Turner has compiled a representative year in the Tetons, an impressionistic collage of his twenty-two years as a mountain guide in the Grand Teton National Park. His account begins not on January 1, but on the first day of the month of May, the date that the roads in the park are officially opened.

The subtitle - Climbing and Contemplating the Teton Range - is a succinct, accurate description of this intriguing, thoughtful, poignant work. Jack Turner's evocative and meditative account has few peers. Perhaps, Primo Levi's remarkable biography, The Periodic Table, is an apt comparison.

I first climbed in the Tetons in the mid-1960s, about the time that Jack Turner was becoming familiar with these remarkable mountains. Nearly everyone that has climbed in the Tetons has imagined becoming a professional mountain guide. Few actually transform this dream into reality. Jack Turner, clearly the exception, has created a fascinating account of his career with Exum Mountain Guides.

Turner observes that the Exum guides have little in common save their love of the mountains and their shared life, a matrix of old friendships, alliances, feuds, arcane traditions, eccentric preferences, and mutual understandings. Some arrive in old, weathered pick-ups; others drive a Mercedes or Lexus. These friends generally part at summer's end, as guides, like most fauna in the Tetons, migrate annually to warmer climes.

I have read Teewinot at least twice. I now enjoy reading a chapter at random. Turner intertwines his personal philosophic observations with detailed, highly knowledgeable descriptions of the flora, fauna, geology, and weather that uniquely define the Teton Range. His accounts of difficult climbs are fascinating. Reading Teewinot is a rare pleasure.

Teewinot apparently appears to be the highest mountain when viewed from Jenny Lake and can be mistaken for the Grand Teton. A window by Jack Turner's bed in his austere cabin faces Teewinot.

Much Better Than Expected.......2004-03-20

This beautifully crafted narrative presents a month-by-month, May through April, description of a 58 year old mountain climbing guide's recollections and reflections on living and working Grand Teton National park. Teewinot is the nearest peak visible from the author's seasonal cabin in the park.

Each chapter is an essay about climbing, wildlife, plants, environmental management or personality profiles related to events that happened during that month. The book begins in May because that's when spring begins to overtake winter, covers the intense summer climbing season, describes autumn wildlife viewing treks to remote corners of the park and tells about winter ski treks. The lifestyle and habits of climbing guides, rangers and other professional outdoors people are profiled throughout.

One of the best aspects of the book is that while it's written by a technical climbing guide and has interesting stories about both guided and highly challenging climbs, the book goes beyond that to reflect the author's wide-ranging, eclectic interest and knowledge about everything related to the Tetons.

Highly recommended to anyone interested in mountaineering, national parks, wildlife and the contemporary American West. There are 11 unexceptional color photographs, two maps with sufficient detail to follow the ground covered in the essays, and a six-page bibliography of reference sources for the Tetons and other topics covered, although many books cited are probably available only in large reference libraries.

Teewinot - A Year in the Teton Range. By Jack Turner.......2003-07-16

Teewinot - A Year in the Teton Range. Jack Turner. Thomas Dunne Books/St. Martin's Press. New York. 2000. 248pp.

Jack Turner is a mountaineering instructor and guide for Exum Mountain Guides, the oldest and most prestigious guide service in America. He has lived and climbed in the Tetons for over 40 years and so is uniquely qualified to write this book.

A philosophy professor by academic training, Turner has deeply contemplated the essential nature of the mountain landscapes of the Teton Range. Teewinot, named after the peak that looms above the Exum Guides' summer base and climbing school, is an ode to the mountains, streams, plants, animals and people that he loves. However, this book is far more than just an account of one of America's most beautiful mountain ranges or the remarkable climbers, rangers and biologists that know those mountain holds better than anyone ever will. It is also about achieving a tranquil and happy life by strengthening personal connections to the seasons, cycles and rhythms of the land.

Turner speaks of the "gifts of returning" - certain routines observed year after year, season after season, which in time have become personal and meaningful rituals that uplift and reconnect him to the landscape each time they occur: the first circumambulation of the Cathedral Group every Spring; the first snowfall in Lupine Meadows, snow that will not melt until the following summer; battening down the guides' hut for the winter off-season; and the final hike around Jenny Lake each year.

Turner reminds us that such simple gifts are available to anyone who attunes one's self to one's surroundings and the people and places one loves.

In its major themes and conclusions, Teewinot is in a class with Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings' lovely book, Cross Creek. The latter book is a loving testimonial of the joy Rawlings experienced during her long residence in the land between Orange and Lochloosa Lakes in North Central Florida in the 1930's and 40's. Like Teewinot, Cross Creek teaches that meaningful connections with a place are hard-won after patience and persistence and determination.

I recommend Teewinot to anyone who loves and contemplates landscapes and their meaning in our lives, and who believes that developing a sense of place and exploring one's inner landscapes go hand-in-hand in one's attempt to live a deliberate, meaningful life.

An Interesting Narrative of Grand Teton Nat'l. Park.......2001-11-10

Turner's book is a look at a year in the life of a climbing guide in Grand Teton National Park. Turner, an Exum climbing guide, also relates to nature, wildlife, and the overall experience of the lifestyles of those who call the park home throughout the year. As I read the book, I felt like I had been transported to the park with Turner. His vivid descriptions and lively writing style make the book a must read for anyone interested in climbing, mountaineering, or this country's national parks.

The bullied go after the bullies.......2007-09-01

The beginning of the book deals with an attack on a pretty, rich girl - Birgit, and other attacks of bullies on other students at Grandview High. I think many kids can relate to being picked on in some way - and the examples of bullying vary widely from name-calling to creative nastiness to pure mean-spirited violence.

So, some of those who have been bullied decide to create a secret team to punish the bullies. They call themselves the Hit Squad. What happens after the first "hit" makes Mickey, one of the team members, who is living with a foster family, question how much he enjoys getting revenge. He REALLY likes Birgit and wants to fit in, but sometimes he catches himself wondering about what he's doing. His foster sister encourages him to think about what he's doing when he involves an older foster sibling in a "hit" on two especially mean bulllies, but it takes a tragedy for Mickey to realize that violence isn't the answer.

This book is misleading, but good.......2003-12-22

I read the book Hit Squad by James Heneghan for a school project. It is an adventure book. It is also fiction. This book is very misleading. It has many surprises. I enjoyed this book because this book has mysteries to it that are not solved until the end.
I'd give this book about 3 stars. You can make connections in this book with real world affairs. An example of this is the quote "The ski masks gave the kidnappers an even more menacing and scary look." This can relate to real world affairs by terrorists are doing the exact same thing every day all over the world.
The book Hit Squad was intresting. You don't know what is going to happen next. The ending is very surprising. You'll never guess what is going to happen.

Book Description

In The Evolutionary Biology of Colonizing Species, Professor Parsons draws extensively on his own research of over 20 years to show that the fields of ecology, genetics, and behavior should be integrated and that, in fact, one field cannot be accurately represented without the others. Professor Parsons uses the colonizing species as a case study in the dynamics of microevolution at work in living systems. The colonizing species, a lie, and potentially disruptive force in a ‘naïve’ habitat, is studied primarily as an ecological phenotype and more generally as an ecological behavioral phenotype. Conventional life-history traits and components of fitness, can be incorporated into these phenotypes. Integrating genetic change, natural selection, and the interaction of the species with its environment and other living systems therein, the colonizing species is transformed into a sophisticated and complex source of data for understanding evolutionary biology. Throughout the book it is emphasized that using the organism as the unit of selection is the most direct way of understanding the nature of successful colonizing phenotypes, and, by using specific phenotypic criteria, the prediction of likely successful colonists can be made. Such criteria include tolerance of extreme environments, resource utilization, reproductive capacity, and relative abundance.

Simply Excellent.......2007-06-24

I bought this book to help my daughter with her physics class. I just wanted to help her practice with a few of the easier problems given that she is still in high school. Surprisingly, I found the book better in comparison to the problems given in her actual textbook. Obviously, one cannot learn physics from scratch by doing these problems alone. Some initial instruction is required. However, once the basic concepts of physics are learned, this in turn becomes an excellent practice guide in order to master the topics covered. No matter what your level of acheivement is, this book will help you get to the next level. I wish I had found this book a lot sooner.

Amazing book, the naysayers are clueless about its real method ..........2007-03-05

I never bought this book, because every time I looked at it on the shelf I quickly flipped through it, and every time decided it was full of too-simple problems, essentially just the plug & chug variety, not really much to be gained by a physics student.

But my dad had bought it to study for some engineering problems he was working on, and he didn't need it, so I grabbed it, and tucked it away for a few months.

Then I gave myself the goal of working through all 3000 problems, about 25 each night. I had hoped it would help me get better at doing these kind of problems in my head and improve my accuracy, which desperately needed improving.

Here's the deal with this book ... YES it does start with problems so simple that a high-schooler can do them, and then it drills those concepts over and over, but while that's happening, Halpern gradually increases the difficulty of the problems. For all of those people that insult this book as not challenging, I'll wager they would have a hard time with many of the problems by chapter end, at which point Halpern has developed an increasingly complex problem set. And amazingly, after working all the exercises, the problem-solver can handle many or most of them.

It's like that old movie Karate Kid, where the Ralph Machio character gets mad at his teacher for making him paint the fence all day, and then his teacher shows him that all his work has actually done something.

Halpern tells you this at the beginning of the book, that the his method will make you a "master of the art -- and should do so if used properly." The proper way of course, it to struggle with the problems that are a little harder before you are tempted to peek at the answer. (I use a folded paper to cover the answer while I look at the problem.)

If you are preparing or trying to learn all of physics, then you should skip around from chapter to chapter, rather than trying to work through a chapter at a time. This helps you synthesize a variety of information better.

There are a few typos and a few errors, but they are pretty easy to catch. And the redundancy of the problems makes errors less critical anyway.

(Halpern was a professor at my school for my MA in physics, City University of New York, although I never met him. I would like to meet him someday for helping me to become a master, although I still have a long way to go.)

PERFECT.......2007-01-13

Just like it was 30 years ago. Plenty of solved problems to self learn Physics.

Schaum's Solve Problems.......2006-11-06

The information in this problem book are many and some pertain to all physics have similar concepts in the way Alvin Halpen,PH.D has structure this book. Yet, for the newcomer in Physics will not easily understand. This book for resource and problems is fair!But not recommended!

A terrific learning aid!.......2006-07-08

This book has exactly what it says in the title. The problems are well-chosen, and the detailed solutions are written in a way that really aids learning. (The "canned" solutions for many textbooks are full of references to obscure equations that are worked out in the chapter, and so promote a "flip through the pages hunting for the right equation" method of problem solving, which does not lead to strong problem solving competency. In contrast, the solutions in this book start from fundamental equations, the approach used by most good teachers, at least at the college and university level, and they are very well-written.)
There are no explicit review sections, so that this is a supplement to a regular text, rather than a replacement for it. (Review of some particularly difficult concepts _is_ covered via the mechanism of essay-style questions.)
Of course, to get the benefit of this text, you must try to work the problems on your own, before looking at the solutions. This is the best textbook supplement I've yet seen -- buy it, work as many of the problems as you possibly can, and it will _really_ help!
(This review written by a college physics prof.)

The Story of Zahra: A Novel

ASIN: 9774247345

Book Description

This prize-winning novel, the first to be written by an Algerian woman in Arabic, is concerned with Algeria's struggle against foreign domination as well as its post-independence struggle with itself and the fate of revolutionary ideals in a post-revolutionary society.

The story, spanning more than four decades of Algerian history, from the 1940s to the 1980s, revolves around a love affair between Khaled, the middle-aged militant who turns to painting after losing his left arm in the struggle, and the fiction writer and young daughter of his friend the freedom fighter Si Taher, all brilliantly told through Khaled's voice.

It was features such as this convincing embodiment of a male voice alongside narrative techniques in which the author subtly joins the acheivements of world literature with that of local storytelling and traditional modes of narration that particularly impressed the judges who awarded this novel the Naguib Mahfouz Medal for Literature.

Customer Reviews:

Masochistically and sadistically Edified?.......2005-06-01

As an Arab who really appreciates some good, profound, enriching writing, I was disappointed. I got the book shipped all the way from Lebanon in order to read it in Arabic. There is no way to get my money back. This is one horrid, long, sombre dark night of the soul piece of work in which both mosochism and saism converge. One would feel that Ahlam Mosteghanemi is an identical replica of the well-known Nizar Qabani. Nizar is good in his own context but to mimic (or rather copycat!) him in phraseology, imagery, concepts that seem only Nizar's, etc. would render Ahlam Mosteghanemi less ingenuous. The work is plagued by bitterness intertwined with sarcasm and gall over raped homelands which brings to mind typical Arab soap operas and dramas. Often she employs faith as a matter of convenience to fit in with situational needs as if it were an opium to ward off nervous breakdown instead of enhancing it as a conviction that accompanies people who are supposedly saviours of their raped homelands, "watan", a word that gets tritely overused throughout the whole theme of the novel.
(...)

A real delight.......2005-05-28

This book made me dizzy. I read it in English and the translator, was able to capture the soul of the Arabic text. Ahlame is very gifted; she has this sensitivity which turns simple words into music. The harsh reality, the disillusion of a country after independence which could be extrapolated to a whole Arabic nation are woven inside a love story between a national symbol and an ancient combatant. It seems that we are doomed to always have unfulfilled illusions. Between the heroes, lays a bridge that symbolizes freedom, fear and impossible dreams.
I am reading Chaos of the senses and I am looking forward to having "aabir sarir" translated to English

Thanks Ahlame

Memory in the Flesh.......2003-12-09

This book is based around the struggle of Algerians and is centered on the love story of Khalid, a militant, and Ahlam, his friend's daughter. Memory in the Flesh is one of my favorite books because Khalid brought the viewers into his world and helped me concept his thoughts and feelings as if they were my own. He shares every thought and feeling with the viewer and manipulates them to believe him. He has love for Ahlam and he makes you feel as if Ahlam did not have the same love for him. I believe she did because Khalid is a man that I believe lives from his thoughts and he starts to believe they're real as well. We don't get to hear Ahlams inner thoughts and feelings and that is why I believe that this is a one-sided situation.
Ahlam writes to release her stress and she finds comfort in her writings and Khalid does so by painting. There are three things that Khalid loves, his country, his mother, and Ahlam. He combines this love for them into the paintings of bridges. I believe he paints these bridges because they symbolize the space he has between Ahlam, his mother, and his country. Can he cross this bridge? In his thoughts he can but I don't think he can ever meet them on the other side.
Many can read this book and think that Khalid is crazy because his love for Ahlam can be mistaken of being obsessive. Though I don't think he is. This is a man who had his country taken away, his mother taken away, so he meets a woman that has the same qualities and he wants to love her and he wants her to return that love. As many may question the love of Ahlam after reading this book, I question the love of Khalid. Does he really love Ahlam or does he think he loves her because she reminds him of his mother? That's a question I asked myself at the end of the book because in gerneral, Khalid was looking for love because that was something he was missing in his life and maybe he was so in love with being in love. You can take his thoughts and feelings in different directions and interpretate the story in your thoughts, just as Khalid did with Ahlam.

I do believe that his obseesion with being in love merged into the actual love for Ahlam. I also believe that she loved him too, even though her love wasn't as obvious as his. She wasn't as forward as he was and that has to do with the culture fo being Arabic. A woman, especially years ago, does not find a love interest, the love interest is found for her. So, I believe that it was hard for her to express her love to him because she knew the family would forbid it. I envied her in her courage to hold back her feelings and to remain strong. I also envied her in finally admitting to Khalid that she did love him at the end dispite the situation she was in.

By her admitting her love to him, it gave him the opportunity to move on and be content with the fact that Ahlam and him could never be together. He didn't cross that bridge and meet her on the other side but his love for her was stronger than that bridge and she will always be apart of his life with or without her presence.

Memory In The Flesh.......2003-12-09

Memory In the Flesh by Ahlam Mosteghanemi.......2003-12-08

Memory in the Flesh was a very intriguing novel. It is told through the voice of Khaled, a former revolutionary who lost his arm during the fight against colonialism. During the revolution Khaled not only lost an arm, he also lost a part of who he was, thus making him feel incomplete, and in a constant struggle to feel whole again. Twenty years after loosing his arm Khaled meets and falls desperately in love with Hayat, who is the daughter of Si Taher, a famous revolutionary martyr and one of his former friends. This novel basically revolves around the love story between Khaled and Hayat; moreover, the entire novel is but a long letter written by Khaled and dedicated to his beloved, Hayat, whose cruelty kills him. What makes this novel great is the wording the author uses to describe this beautiful love story. Through the wording Mostaghanemi allows us not only to delve deep within Khaled's innermost feelings, she also allows us to feel his pain as he narrates the story of his life.
From the very beginning of the novel we are able to see the enormous amount of pain Kahlid experiences. He uses very powerful words to describe his love for Hayat, "When I look back through my life, I find that the only real exceptional event was meeting you." However those same powerful words allow us to know from the very onset how much he is actually hurting. Throughout the course of the novel I became extremely captivated by their love story, so much so that I actually began to feel a sense of pity for Khaled. I couldn't understand why Khaled constantly put himself in the position of being hurt; moreover, I couldn't understand how or why Hayat allowed herself to continue hurting him. I began to see Hayat's love with much skepticism, questioning her love for him altogether.
After carefully reviewing the novel I have learned to appreciate many aspects that I had previously overlooked. For example, I have come to understand and appreciate the reason for Khaled's immense love. Khaled describes his first meeting with Hayat (as an adult) with such a passion, he notices she is adorned with traditional Arabic jewelry, and immediately falls in love with her on many different levels. She begins to represent for Khaled not only a woman, but also a symbolic mother, and a symbolic nation. I also realize the true significance of Khaled's love for Hayat, The most traumatizing aspect of Khaled's life was losing his arm; however, because of Hayat he was able to overcome the pain of feeling incomplete, she in a sense transported him to a place when he himself was whole. In the end, I have also come to realize that I mistakenly Americanized Hayat by assuming that she was free to openly declare her love for Khaled. I now understand the cultural aspect behind Hayat's inability to declare her love, and I realize the importance of seeing Hayat as an Arab woman. I now believe that Hayat actually did love Khaled, moreover, she too will suffer for the loss of this love. "Khaled, don't you know how much I have loved you? I wanted you and desired you like crazy. Something in you made me lose my mind for a while, but I healed myself of you."
