Book Description
With her cabin a pile of ashes and her lite in pieces, champion Alaskan "musher" Jessie Arnold has gratefully accepted a friend's proposal that she drive his motor home up from Idaho, along the Alaska Highway -- a breathtaking, two thousand-mile-long route winding past hot springs, glaciers, and ice-blue lakes. But the idyllic trip takes a dark turn when a teenage hitchhiker brings terror aboard. Frightened and alone, Patrick Cutler disappears just before the police inform Jessie that the young runaway is wanted in connection with two shocking murders. Suddenly she is cast into a raging maelstrom of dark secrets and deadly consequences. And the cold and empty road she's traveling could be leading her not to her home...but to a grave in the trackless wilderness.

Pleasant travelogue of the Alaskan Highway with some mystery thrown in...........2007-06-08
The cassette version of this book is quite enjoyable, especially if you've been reading the author's Jesse Arnold series already, starting with Murder on the Iditarod Trail. In this one, Jesse agrees to drive a big Winnebago motor home up the Alaska highway to deliver it to an Alaskan friend. On the way, she meets Maxie McNab, a free-spirited 61-year-old widow who roams the country in her motor home. Maxie returns later in her own series, which I have read. It was fun to read her first book appearance. They get involved with a teenaged fugitive and many dangerous and interesting things transpire.
The story moves a tad slowly at times, but comes to fairly satisfactory conclusion. The descriptions of the places along the fabled Alaskan Highway are delightful to read--you'll be ready to tackle the highway yourself when you're done with this book.
I recommend it to Jessie Arnold and Maxie McNab fans as well as anyone who is interested in the Alaskan Highway. Many of the Jessie Arnold stories involve sled dog racing, but this one does not. Jessie's lead dog, Tank, accompanies her on the adventures, but that's it for sled dog racing in this story.
Love Sue Henry.......2007-01-05
I discovered Sue Henry on a recent trip to Alaska. I have enjoyed the few that I have read. I thoroughly enjoyed Dead North. Worth a read if you like mysteries.
Good characterization, great view, great chase..........2006-07-14
Henry isn't the first to use our northerly cousin for her books. But I am pretty sure she is the best. Her books tend to involve her dogs a lot more, but in this one she is driving an RV to Alaska as a favor to a friend. She manages to pick up an unwanted guest at one of the many places she stops on the way north, and though she wasn't the one who originally agrees to transport a 17 year old kid part way to Alaska (good girl!) she does manage to become involve. Unfortunately, the baggage that others may carry may become our baggage if we start carrying it. Remember that when agree to transport luggage for family or friends who may be less than honest about what they tucked away iin the corner of the suitcase.
Jessie becomes suspiscious of the kid almost immediately, just because he isn't looking anyone in the eye (par for course with that age group). When she figures out someone is trying to kill him and her for transporting him, she is so busy trying to avoid that end that she hardly has time to get the whole story out of him. Luckily, Jessie also manages to pick up another girlfriend with an RV going north, a couple of cops looking for the kid, and a concerned trucker with a rig. These guys are all that saves Jessie and kid from becoming the next Jimmy Hoffa.
Henry paints with words. That's been said before, and will be used again, but Henry is really good at it. She really can paint the outdoors and the beauties of Alaska with words. This is part of what makes her books so good and so enjoyable. Alaska sounds so beautiful, it's hard not to understand the need for everyone not to want to go up there. Especially young men running away from family problems.
The only reason Henry got 4 stars is because of unfinished business. When writing a heavily-characterized mystery, authors need to keep track of all these characters and tell the readers where they all went...if we cannot figure it out for ourselves.

Good Story For RVer's.......2004-04-16
A murder takes place in Wyoming. A boy is on the run. Jessie Arnold has agreed to drive a motor home from Idaho to Alaska for the contractor who is building her new cabin. These two worlds collide on the highway and Jessie finds herself smack dab in the middle of trouble. There is less story involving her dogs in this one, although she does have her lead dog, Tank, with her. This story is more about the characters she meets on the road and they are an interesting bunch. There is a lot of scenic description, which Henry always does very well. This is a good story for readers interested in travel. Some of the chase scenes were riveting, but the mystery, itself, fell a little short.
Alaskan Highway Travelogue/Mystery.......2003-07-31
I sometimes think that Sue Henry should have been a travel writer. The best of her books mix murder with intricately described journeys in which learning the details of the trip itself are half of the reason for reading the book. If you're not interested in the trip, you're probably not going to be interested in the book. That is probably the reason for the hot-and-cold reviews this one has been receiving--especially because this book's topic, an RV journey up the Alaskan Highway, is considerably less exotic than the dogsledding stories that built the author's reputation.
Because they mix travel with mystery, Sue Henry's books tend to be relatively gentle stories in which pleasant but not deeply drawn characters provide amiable companionship for the armchair traveler. (If you want heart-pounding thrillers, read Dean Koontz.) Nor are they complex Agatha Christie - style puzzles. Oh yes, there's always a villain, sometimes a pretty cruel one, but Henry seems to be one of those people who genuinely likes most of her fellow humans, and she does not delight in giving readers a whole roomful of unsympathetic characters from which to attempt to identify the villain.
So is this book any good? That depends mostly on how interested you are in learning about the Alaskan Highway and RVing, because the reviewers below are correct in pointing out that the book is chuck-full of details that have no relevance to the plot. Nor are you going to find deep insights into human nature. Even the villain is a bit of a stock psychopath, although he does have other motivations.
The biggest flaw involves the plot machinations Henry needs to use in order for her characters to repeatedly cross paths as they move up the highway by disparate modes of transportation (RV, hitchhiking, pickup truck, bicycle, 18-wheeler) that should have them traveling at quite different paces. Also, none can be allowed to realize that anytime they want, they can separate themselves from this dangerous, traveling circus simply by holing up for a couple of nights as everyone else moves north.
Still, this is a fun read, and I'm already partway through the next book in the series. Fasten you seatbelts and enjoy the Alaskan Highway!

Customer Reviews:
Very good for fans of both fantasy and history..........1998-08-24
It's well written, not cliched. It shows the Arabs to be just as human as the European crusaders...and more civilized and advanced, as they were during those times.
One of my favorite books of all time!.......1997-06-26
Judith Tarr is the queen of historical fantasy! Magical creatures and the mundane world blend seamlessly in this novel set in the time of the Crusades: occasional appearances are made by kings, warriors, and even Saladin himself! One can almost believe that the world was once like this, and that we are unimaginably diminished by the loss of the magic and wonder that once was a part of everyday life. This novel has mystery, romance, adventure, and some of the most fascinating and memorable characters in all fiction. I've read this book over twenty times, never tiring of it, and loving it each time more than the last
Book Description
Alamut is the first-ever English publication of Bartol'ss near-forgotten masterpiece based on the life and legend of the original 'sassassin, 11th century Ismaili leader Hasan ibn Sabbah. Revered by millions for his brilliance, and disdained by countless others for his suicide missions, Sabbah has inspired scores of writers throughout the centuries, including Rimbaud, Nerval, Borges and William Burroughs.
Customer Reviews:
Unhistorical does not present the real beliefs of the Nizari's.......2006-12-31
This is a fictional account of the founding of the fidai by Hassan ibn Sabbah in the early Alamut period. First published in 1938 by the Slovene novelist Vladimir Bartol (1903-1967) it had only recently been published in English by Michael Biggins. As a product of the 1930's it suffers from a lack of Nizari Ismaili primary source material, which was not available in pre-war Yugoslavia. So the writer used as his sources the legends of the assassins from Marco Polo's travels and anti-Ismaili polemical writings written by their Sunni enemies. All of the myths that Farhad Darftary (The Assassin Legends) had so skillfully refuted are all here.
Bartol has Hassan creating the gardens with houris to trick the young fidai's into believing they were in Paradise, especially after he drugged them with hashish. One fidai, however, did not fall for this, and was strangled to prevent him from warning the others. The hero of the story, the young Avani, is sent on a mission to assassinate, gets caught and learns the truth. He goes back to Alamut to kill Hasan, but instead is rewarded for seeing the truth. Hasan then tells him about the ten levels to unbelief and freedom. He then sends him out into the world to teach others.
The book ends with an afterward, by the translator, which allows the reader to make connections between the terrorism of the Nizari's and Al Qaeda. One of the worse things about this afterward is that the translator seems to have never made an attempt to consult modern texts about the Alamut period, thus leaving the old myths to stand. Thus making the idea of Hassan being the spiritual father of al Qaeda to stand. While the author who had no access to any real Nizari beliefs when he wrote during the 1930's, can be forgiven for his reliance on his sources. It is a literary slander for this to go unchallenged or acknowledged by the translator when so much info can be easily obtained on the Internet
Fun book to get lost in........2006-07-31
I wasn't sure what I expected when I ordered this, but I heard that it was good, so I thought I'd give it a try. I'm glad that I did, although I wish it were in softcover. It's an engaging story that doesn't follow the expected story lines, so if that's your cup of tea then give it a try.
Recommded - Coming of Age Terrorist Religious Philosophical Classic.......2005-12-03
My prediction is that this book will be read widely someday. A friend who turned me on to "Shadows of the Pomegranate Tree" by Tariq Ali (3-stars -- I'll add my Amazon review soon) lent me her copy at Thanksgiving. After the first couple of chapters of "set up," I devoured it.
The easy comparison would be to Osama bin Laden and terrorists and Iraq and so forth. But I read "Alamut" as a heart-breaking coming of age novel. A girl and boy, barely in puberty, are taken in by a "movement" (cult/army/regligion?) that they quickly become attached to. But when their eyes are lifted to the truth, they are changed forever. Alamut's leader -- a mix of madness and genius -- offers a couple of longwinded, but fascinating, monologues on the meaning of life, but the real meaning in the book is found in the fates of the girl and boy.
This book isn't perfect. It has a strange outdated "puritan" feel to it at times, especially with the sexual (lesbian/hetero) scenes, but it also has the feel of a classic. Meaning, that in 20 years it will still be in print and will be much more widely known than today. This book will be relevant for many, many years regardless of the political situation. From Illinois, a 5 stars.
Novel of 11th Century Islam and World's First Terrorist.......2005-11-19
The young and beautiful Halima and the young adventurous ibn Tahir have just arrived at the castle of Alamut -- the impenetrable fortress of the "Old Man of the Mountain," Hasan ibn Sabbah. Unbeknownst to either of them, they are about to become part of a mad but brilliant scheme that will extend Sabbah's rule throughout Persia, and that will strike fear as far away as Europe and Asia.
ALAMUT is both an old-fashioned page-turner that follows the lives of these two innocents as they learn the arts of love and war for the mysterious Sabbah, as well as an allegory and meditation on the nature of power and authority. Sabbah, one of Islam's most revered, and reviled, historical figures, is considered by many to be the world's first political terrorist. He and his followers were responsible for political assassinations throughout the region, and the legends that grew as a result of his work extended as far north as Austria, and as far east as Mongolia.
Vladimir Bartol was a Slovene living under Mussolini when he wrote ALAMUT. Many believe the book is a rebuke of Mussolini's and Hitler's fascist movements, though there is some disagreement about that, and the book's ambigous message concerning Sabbah raises many questions about Bartol's true intentions.
Since its publication, ALAMUT has been translated into 19 languages and has achieved best-seller status in France, Germany, and Spain. A theatrical version recently opened in Salzburg, and is currently running in Slovenia. Atman Pictures of France is producing a movie version. This edition is the first-ever English translation.
compelling and apt.......2005-10-25
although originally written many years ago, this book gives a whole new glimpse of present day realities. two intertwining stories manage to convey a world of ideas, ideals, intrigue and fascinating political ramifications. a delightful and light read, interesting and entertaining. a novel worth keeping, and so beautiful you'll want to keep it prominently!

Book Description
This ground-breaking book addresses the critical, growing need among healthcare administrators and practitioners to measure the effectiveness of quality improvement efforts. Written by respected healthcare quality professionals, Measuring Quality Improvement in Healthcare covers practical applications of the tools and techniques of statistical process control (SPC), including control charts, in healthcare settings. The authors' straightforward discussions of data collection, variation, and process improvement set the context for the use and interpretation of control charts. Their approach incorporates "the voice of the customer" as a key element driving the improvement processes and outcomes.

Terrific intro to Statistical Process Control.......2003-05-16
As a physician who is becoming more involved with quality control, I found this to be an outstanding introduction to the concepts of statistical process control. The abundant practical examples provide a guide as to how these principles can be used effectively in the health care setting. I recommend Carey's book to anyone who wants to get serious about managing the process of quality in healthcare -- I'm buying another copy to share with my staff!
Excellent for the right audience.......2002-01-24
This book does an excellent job of introducing the reader to the concept of applying Statistical Process Control. Through a great number of mini case studies it shows a number of possible applications. Probably more importantly it amply demonstrates the when to be concerned and when to continue monitoring the situation before reacting.
This is NOT a technical book. The few formulae that are presented are relegated to a small appendix and are virtually unusable. This makes the book more suitable for administrators than for quants.
People actually conducting the studies will not find what they need in terms of formulae. They will find what they need to understand which type of chart is appropriate and how to interpret the results.
Ideally the authors should have included software to actually do the calculations. This would have allowed the non-technical people to actually do their own studies rather than just interpet what others have done.
Horrible.......2001-12-11
Out of all the quality books I have read, this one worst. Mr. Carey has neither the know-how or scope to fully take on any of the issues at hand.
Book Description
Biodynamic growers rejoice! The successes of alternative agriculture have seldom been more apparent than in the high, broad acclaim for wines of the Coulée de Serrant vineyards. Joly has tapped the rich bounty nature possesses and profited by it.
Here, you will find agricultural methods that are proven and which offer a radically different approach to the destructive, chemical-dependent practices of modern viticulture. As Frank Prial of The New York Times noted, "[Nicolas Joly's] disciples are legion: winemakers from all over Europe come to sit at his feet. Getting to know a great Loire chenin blanc by starting with Saveunieres is like getting to know music by starting with a late Beethoven quartet."
Learn the best biodynamic methods to grow delicious wines from a master grower. Robert Parker, in his Wine Buyer's Guide, rates Joly as "an exceptional producer. [He] is the godfather of Saveuniere. Connoisseurs have long known the legendary longevity and quality of his Coulée de Serrant vineyard." Create your own legendary vintages drawing on his expertise.
Customer Reviews:
Expanded Awareness.......2006-12-18
Wow! Through this book, Joly invited me to expand my awareness beyond planting a vine, spraying it with the "right" chemicals, harvesting the fruit and making the wine. He stirred my consciousness to recall and reconnect that which I have chosen to forget about this planet, this ever-changing life of whose whole-ness I am an integral part.
Based on Rudolf Steiner's concepts and research on agriculture, Joly's book introduced me to biodynamic agriculture. As described in Wine from Sky to Earth, biodynamics "is mainly the task of achieving a deeper understanding of the natural system within which a farm or vineyard is located and from which it receives its life forces."
Joly opines, "the key factor in making a good wine is to understand nature and help it - one becomes nature's assistant rather than `a wine maker'." I found my awareness shifting as Joly contends, "it is on the land, in the middle of his vines, that the wine-maker `makes' the wine."
I highly recommend this book to anyone wishing a stronger connectivity to his/her vines and wine.
More on Joly's pseudo science.......2006-11-19
This book is incredibly false in regards to some basic science. The states of matter are NOT Mineral, Liquid, Light (gas) and heat. They are solids, liquids, gases and plasma. This book incorrectly uses the term one sentence after another. Everything is made up on atoms and can be a solid, liquid or gas. Plasma is a little more sophicated. But let's take the 3. Water is a solid when ice, a liquid when at room temperature and gas when it evaporates or become steam with heat. Joly states water is almost mineral as a frozen solid and a "prisoner of matter." Water is matter, that's why they are the states of MATTER.
He says that light is an airy state. Does that mean dark places can not have air. Of course not. He also says with heat matter "disappears." Matter does not disappears it is just not visable to our eyes in some cases. I just can't get over how bad the science is. I don't even think I can trust the editors or publishers because I can't believe they put this out as non-fiction.
beware pseudo-science.......2005-01-11
there is no doubt that the technologies that science has facilitated now pose a great risk to the well being of the planet. there is even less doubt that practitioners of science in its various fields often still have a conquistador-like, and very arrogant approach to the so called natural world. but these are not criticisms against the scientific method which is the very core of science, but against the practitioners of the method and the irresponsible uses of the products of the method. if the humans and other animals are to survive and do so healthily, then the practice of science must change. the method itself, which is simply that hypotheses about the natural world should be verifiable repeatedly through experimentation, should not change. it is a worthy method which by its very logic can not help but to stomp out superstition and pseudo-science. unfortunately superstitions and cultural hot-air are powerful forces, and the scientific method has not been anywhere near successful enough in its endeavors. there is a today a dangerous tendency towards luditism and mysticism as a form of resistance to the perceived threat of "science". this kind of resistance can only FAIL. it will fail because the less one knows about the processes which are currently shaping the world the less one has any real power to change those processes, and the more one will be at the mercy of those who master them.
i bought this book for my wife who is a trained viticulturist because i thought that the term biodynamic meant, a holistic agriculture based on organic principles, and the encouragement of a heterogeneous ecosystem with few inputs (fertiliser, hebicide, pesticides, etc) as opposed to a monoculture which is only barely survives on account of constant artificial input from the farmer. to be fair to joly, it does in fact mean these things, however, and note carefully, all of this can be found in what is usually called "organic" agriculture. joly's book, instead of being based on experimental science and reasoning, is based primarily on the work of rudolf steiner. in fact the book is dedicated to steiner, there is an appendix dedicated to him in the back of the book, and even an appendix dedicated solely to rudolf steiner schools! these odd appendices as well as some rather mediaeval comments made by joly led me to do a bit of research online, but before i get to that let me share a quote from the book:
from 'The Four Realms', page 28
"... The answers are primarily connected to an understanding of the four realms which surround us: mineral, vegetable, animal and human ... Above the three realms is man, who stands erect, in vertical, not to be confused with that of the monkey some people claim we are descended from. No, on the contrary, man's ability to stand erect gives him autonomy, permits him to say "I" with complete liberty, and to have a face that is always different. Only the physical aspects justifies a comparison between man and the monkey "molded" into its race. The hypothesis of the miraculous gene, which would have allowed this mutation, remains unsubstantiated. But this analysis reflects the sickness of our era, during which man, no longer understanding the origin of life, prefers to pay attention to it's manifestations. Wisdom would direct us to take the opposite road."
aside from being poorly written, the above passage shows an incredible backwardness in thinking and ignorance of modern genetics. we are told that we should take the "opposite road" than to look at the actual manifestations of physical life. i.e. in order for such an outlandish hypothesis as evolutionary theory to be true it would need to be manifest in a world other than the physical world, and even if such a thing were to be true in the physical world it would need to be explained by a miracle, a "miraculous gene". this kind of thinking pervades the anthroposophical literature which confuses spiritual banter for scientific thinking. (just to be clear on this, i'm no fanatic, i.e. if joly wants to show me in the physical world why evolution is wrong headed i'll be glad to listen, it is after all just a theory, but it is based on the investigation of nature and not on a religious cosmogeny).
furthermore the idea that man stands above the rest of the natural world, distinct from the animal and vegetable "realms" is precisely the cancer of times past which currently afflicts the sciences (agriculture included) today, and which leads to the frightful abuse of technology we now see around us.
because of lack of space i would strongly advise the reader of this review to do a bit of online research on rudolf steiner and the anthroposophist religion. suffice it to say that rudolf steiner believed in atlantis, reincarnation, that white people and christianity represent the spiritual apex of human development, and that science should allow for supernatural revelations as bona fide experimental results, etc etc... another very disquieting fact is that the standards bodies which certify "biodynamic" vineyards and even the steiner schools (the teachers are trained in anthroposphy by reading steiner's works, but the schools are presented to the public as secular) are closely tied to the anthroposophical movement which is, put frankly, a cult.
that the current approach to agriculture is for the most part an interventionist and arrogant one there is no doubt, joly recognizes this and offers some practical advice which brings natural cycles to bear. for instance he talks about the sun, moon and tides. unfortunately these kinds of observations, which seem like common sense to me (after all the moon is a large body with gravitational and electromagnetic effects which can simply not be ignored), for some strange reason would likely be rejected by many scientists. if you can bare to wade through the voodoo there are a few points to ponder in this little volume. there is also some (hearsay) evidence that using so called 'biodynamic' preparations has positive effects on the soil and life of the vineyard, these should also be properly investigated.
the biggest problem that faces humanity today is that there is a great deal of wisdom from times past which is being ignored by a blind and arrogant science. rudolf steiner and the anthroposophical method (if it can be called that) do NOT offer a solution, they can only further muddy the waters. what science needs to do very desperately is to look at ancient agricultural practices, and to do so using the scientific method in order to sort the wheat from the chaff. i doubt very much that rudolf steiner and his ilk are needed as a medium for this endeavor.
unless you are looking for a religious guide to growing grapes, or are just curious to see what 21st century pseudo-science looks like, i would advise looking into books on just plain organic viticulture instead, and going straight to the sources for knowledge of ancient agricultural practices.
Caring for the wine AND the soil.......2000-06-16
This is a great book for both, laymen and wine experts, on biodynamic winemaking. Nicolas Joly explains in a very simple way, why it is worth using all our senses at winemaking. Biodynamics respects nature's peculiarities in a positive sense and thus helps the vine to incorporate these specific characteristics into the wine. The origin of the so called "denominacion d'origine controlee". If all farmers, not only wine growers could respect their most cherrished input, the soil, as biodinamic wine growers do, what a wonderful world this would be! No more instransparent subsidies from States to the agribusinesses, no more hunger, and less diseases in the world.Bravo Nicolas! Welcome good wine, great wine.
Book Description
Biodynamics is about respect for nature, sustainability, and spiritual ecology. But most of all it is about flavorful, nutritious, enjoyable food! This is a rich book of information, beautifully illustrated and packed with delicious and healthy recipes.
The biodynamic movement is supported by top chefs, master winemakers, and numerous celebrities; Prince Charles introduced biodynamic methods at his Gloucestershire farm. Nonetheless, biodynamic agriculture had a humble beginning. In 1924, a small group of farmers and gardeners gathered to hear Rudolf Steiner give a series of lectures. It was a time of growing interest in industrial farming and mass production, and Steiner spoke of the need to preserve and nurture the qualitative aspects of food. He outlined an agricultural method based on a holistic perception of nature.
Illustrated with hundreds of color photographs, this volume explains the principles behind biodynamic methods and places it in the context of food and cooking throughout the ages. Wendy Cook takes us on a journey through the four seasons with more than 150 delicious recipes based on her many years of working with biodynamic nutrition. She considers the ethics of food, the foundation of a balanced diet, and conjures up the color and vibrancy of Mallorca, which has contributed so much to her personal approach. Included are supplementary sections on breads, sauces, salads, desserts, drinks, and much more.
The Biodynamic Food & Cookbook will find a permanent place in every healthy kitchen.
