Think of Big Sur and you most likely conjure images of sea-swept cliffs and expansive ocean views, the hideout of Beat poets and dropouts. To the east, however, is a surprisingly bountiful landscape of forests and mountains traversed by hiking trails. These trails follow cool canyon streams or switch back up sun-baked peaks. It's a beautiful region that sees far less use than other more publicized areas. Jeffrey Schaffer's guide to the Big Sur country, complete with trail descriptions and topographic maps, can help you discover this more remote territory of a fabled land.
Book Description
Opportunities abound for hikers and equestrians in Big Sur Country, its adjacent state parks, coastline, and public beaches. Here is the guide to exploring 260 square miles of wilderness. Contains 25 accurate, 2-color topo maps.

Big help for Big Sur hikers.......2007-06-08
I bought this for my son and his wife who live in Colorado and when they come out here always have to take in the Big Sur area. There are few pictures, but if you google Big Sur Bike Rides you will find great photos taken by bikers.
Torturously organized, severely out of date.......2003-11-03
I purchased the recently updated version of Shaffer's book, but having recently hiked in the Big Sur area, I can confirm the book is still riddled with basic mistakes. These mistakes aren't of a rudimenary nature, but significant misstatements of fact, such as where to locate a trailhead, how far each hike is and where to park your vehicle. On several hikes, Schaffer describes a "locked gate" which hikers must traverse... oops, sorry... there is no gate there anymore and no access for hikers. This can be extremely frustrating to plan a morning hike and rely upon this guide, only to be misled and have the hike aborted before it even begins.
In addition, the book is organized in an extremely frustrating manner. Distances are given, but no elevation gains or indication of whether the trek will be easy, moderate or strenuous. This is an inexcusable omission. The only reason to buy this guide is because good hiking books on the Big Sur region are few and far between. I use Schaffer because it's the only guide out there, but it has many serious deficiencies. Know this before you purchase it and don't expect a stellar guide. Also be aware of the errors in trailhead directions and outdated material.
Enough information to be dangerous.......2001-12-31
I just finished a weekend hike in the Ventana wilderness. Granted, I did a lot of stupid things. But I got 18 hours of rain! I was trapped between two rivers that had risen over 6 feet in 24 hours. My down sleeping bag was soaked. Temperatures were dropping into the 40s at night. I thought I was going to die. Did this book give me any hint that there was this kind of danger? No. It makes no mention of radical changes in the environment due to weather. It mentions steady-state danger conditions for other rivers (Carmel, Big Sur and Little Sur. These the are the same ones that the Forest Service mentions, btw. Here it says that they can be impassable in the winter) but nothing about other ones. At least *some* of the narrative is correct.
But for a place as rugged as the Ventana Wilderness, a book without discussion of the dangers is simply inexcusable. If this is our only source, it's no wonder there's such a high number of plaques to a "Loving husband and father" on some of the trails.
Great but needs updating.......2000-08-25
Having made about thirty different trips into the Ventana wilderness over the last several years using this great guide book, I've come to appreciate the authors maps. Regular topographic maps from the USGS do not show many trails in the Ventana or inaccuratly shown. The author has plotted the trails in detail onto USGS topos (shrunk to book size which means you must look closely, but you can still discern every contour clearly). The trail descriptions are as detailed and informative as one can expect for a book this old. Fires, El Nino's and withdrawal of funds for trail maintenance inevitably change the accuracy of Schaeffers descriptions. Nevertheless there are still many useful descriptions and comments. If you are serious about exploring this rugged widerness, the book would be well worth it for its maps alone.
Many changes to the wilderness..........2000-07-29
I first purchased Mr. Shaffer's book back in '94 and have jokingly referred to it as "The Liar's Guide to Hiking the Ventana Wilderness". I found the book fairly accurate for the more popular trails (Carmel River Trail, Pine Ridge Trail, Skinner's Ridge), but somewhat misleading for the lesser-traveled trails. The book is in SEVERE need of updating to correct some of the inaccuracies and mainly, because over 100,000 acres in the heart of Ventana were scorched in the Kirk Complex/Tassajarra fires of 1999. The fires resulted in many of the trails being burnt almost out of existence or severly damaged. Despite its shortcomings, however, the book is worth it for first-timers wishing to hike Ventana.
Book Description
Each year millions of people visit the area of rugged California coastline and wild mountains known as Big Sur. Finally here is a book that is both a natural history of this beautiful region and an excellent guide to its extensive public lands. The first section introduces the area's geology, climate, flora, fauna, and human history. The second section describes selected sites, trails, and features that are mentioned in Part One.
Although Big Sur is world famous for awe-inspiring scenery, it is less known for its great ecological diversity and its significance as a haven for many species of terrestrial and marine wildlife. In no other part of the world do fog-loving coastal redwoods thrive on one slope of a canyon while arid-climate yuccas grow on the other. Similarly, sea otters and cormorants live near dry-climate creatures like canyon wrens and whiptail lizards. The area's staggering beauty and forbidding wilderness have inspired artists, poets, naturalists, and hikers--and also real estate developers.
As increasing tourism, development pressure, and land-use decisions continue to affect Big Sur, this book will do much to heighten awareness of the region's biotic richness and fragility. Written in nontechnical language, with generous color photographs, drawings, maps, species lists, and a bibliography, it will attract both the casual and the serious naturalist, as well as anyone concerned about preserving California's natural heritage.
Customer Reviews:
A wonderful and illuminating guide..........2002-08-19
With both sensitivity and scientific acumen, the authors systematically describe every animal and plant within Big Sur, and the geological and metereological environments in which they live. The book also gives a temporal and human history of Big Sur. It is also notable for a wonderful review of the various hikes within the area; any person choosing or planning a hike in the Ventana Wilderness or any of the state parks along the Big Sur coast will find this guide a tremendous help. The book also includes over 200 exquisite black-and-white illustrations. I always love to read natural history guides before visiting an area; I must say that I found this one singularly comprehensive and informative. Highly recommended!
Comprehensive, but could be better organized.......1999-11-01
A completely thorough guide to the the floral and fauna of Big Sur. The author captures much of the majesty and diversity of the Big Sur region. I use it as a constant reference when hiking the region. A minor suggested improvement would be slightly better organization of the topics.
Excellent key to understanding Big Sur.......1999-09-09
I've been up and down the PCH several times, but as a midwesterner, most of the flora and lots of the fauna were unfamiliar to me. On my next motorcycle ride through Big Sur, I'll see the place with new eyes thanks to this wonderful guide. Now I know those yellow flowers that splash color over the cliffs in mid-July are lizard tail. What were formerly just "rocks" and "birds" and "trees" now have names and personalities. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to better understand the amazing place that is Big Sur.

This digital document is a journal article from Applied Soil Ecology, published by Elsevier in 2007. The article is delivered in HTML format and is available in your Amazon.com Media Library immediately after purchase. You can view it with any web browser.
Description:
Green leaves of Albizia gummifera G.F. Gmel, Milletia ferruginea (Hochst.) Baker, Cordia africana Lam., and Croton macrostachyus Del. were collected from trees growing in fields in southern Ethiopia, and used in laboratory and field experiments. The aim was to investigate differences in C mineralization parameters related to differences in the leaf qualities of the respective species, and to examine effects of amending soil (Mollic Andosols) with leaves plus N, P, or N+P on decomposition and microbial activity. Rates of carbon mineralization were determined by measuring CO"2 evolution using an automated respirometer (Respicond V) in the laboratory and an infrared gas analyser in the field studies. When no nutrients were added about 11-44% and 10-42%, on average, of the initial C applied as leaves was mineralized within a month in the laboratory and field respiration experiments, respectively. In both experiments, the rates of C mineralization were highest for C. macrostachyus leaves, followed by M. ferruginea then A. gummifera and lowest for C. africana leaves. Hence the results of our short-term laboratory study agreed well with those of the field experiment. Microbial activity (e.g. specific growth rate) was generally stimulated by supplemental nutrients. However, in most cases cumulative C mineralization was either slightly depressed or not significantly affected by supplemental N or N+P. Similarly, P addition caused either a reduction in C mineralization or had little effect. Hence the quality of the leaves was more influential than the nutrient additions. The absence of a pronounced respiratory response to the added N and/or P might be due to increased microbial C-use efficiency, to adequate amounts of these nutrients being available from the leaves and/or soil, or both. Further in-depth studies using soils of differing soil fertility are needed to test these hypotheses.

Description:
The effects of water deficit on growth, biomass allocation and gas exchange of Cordia africana Lam., Croton macrostachyus Del., Eucalyptus camaldulensis Dehnh, Eucalyptus globulus Labill. and Millettia ferruginea (Hochst.) Baker seedlings were studied under glasshouse conditions for 104 days. Plants were subjected to four watering regimes, viz. control (well-watered), mild-, moderate- or severe-water-deficit conditions corresponding to 25, 50, or 75% of the control moisture level, respectively. Well-watered plants produced about 4-6 times higher biomass compared to severely water deficient plants. All species had comparable biomass production under sufficient water or mild water deficit. However, the eucalypts produced more biomass than the deciduous species under severe water deficit. C. africana and C. macrostachyus invested more biomass to root unlike the other species. Increased water supply increased biomass allocation to leaves in M. ferruginea and the eucalypts whereas it increased biomass allocation to roots in C. macrostachyus. Water deficit reduced predawn and midday leaf water potentials in all the studied species with large decline at the midday in the eucalypts. Water deficit had marked effect on leaf relative water content (RWC) in C. macrostachyus and C. africana in which severely stressed plants had greatly reduced RWC than the controls during both predawn and midday. M. ferruginea maintained high predawn and midday RWC under all treatment conditions. Both stomatal conductances and photosynthetic rates declined in response to increasing water stress, however, the reductions followed different patterns for the different species. Water losses from C. macrostachyus and C. africana leaves were about 2-3 times those of E. camaldulensis and E. globulus across all the treatments. Water stress reduced whole plant water use efficiencies (WUE"W"L) from 5+/-0.9 to 2+/-0.6gdrymasskg^-^1 water depending on the species. WUE"W"L of C. africana and C. macrostachyus were lower compared to the other species in all treatments. M. ferruginea showed superior water stress avoidance as evidenced by its high tissue water potential, RWC and photosynthetic rate under severe water deficit. it.

Description:
Water relations of four tree species were studied in four sites in the drylands of northern Ethiopia. Predawn water potentials were significantly higher at all sites as compared to midday measurements for Acacia etbaica and Boswellia papyrifera. In contrast, Lannea fruticosa revealed this significant difference only once, while Terminalia brownii at only two of the four sites. An analysis of variance showed that A. etbaica has a wider tolerance range as compared to the other species. There was no significant difference among the four sites in terms of predawn, midday and diurnal ranges of water potential. The study revealed that A. etbaica and B. papyrifera are performing better as compared to T. brownii and L. fruticosa under the current climatic conditions. Understanding the physiological basis of survival, productivity, ability to cope with low moisture availability, and growth potential of indigenous species in the drylands is essential for the utilization and promotion of these and other species.

As in Roald Dahl's James and the Giant Peach, Polly Horvath tells the story of an abandoned child who is sent to live with two distant relatives in a big, lonely house. The magic in Horvath's story, however, lies not in talking bugs but in the hearts and minds of its characters. Thirteen-year-old Ratchet Clark, a girl with a deformity on her shoulder blade her breezily cruel, self-absorbed mother calls "That Thing," is unceremoniously kicked out for the summer while her mom attends to important things, like how to gain entry into the prestigious Pensacola country club. Mom drops Ratchet off at her great second-cousins' enormous, turreted house in Maine, a remote seaside estate surrounded by oily blueberry bogs and bears.
What starts out as a fairly grim proposition transforms as Ratchet befriends the endearing, downright hilarious 91-year-old twins Aunt Tilly and Aunt Penpen who are "as different as chalk and cheese" and learns the ways of rural Maine. When another unwanted teenage girl named Harper ("obnoxious, but strangely compelling") enters the scene, the household dynamic changes yet again. Though fairytale-like in its setting and its charm, do not be fooled. Suicide, decapitation, wretched mothers, and a sprinkling of profanity pepper this poignant, philosophical, darkly humorous novel that dips into subjects from technology to love to death. In Horvath's capable hands, readers are left believing in the best of human nature as she switches effortlessly from the sublime to the ridiculous and back again. Wild stories, brilliant dialogue, and vats of compassion distinguish Newbery Honor author Horvath's latest offering. (Ages 12 and older) --Karin Snelson
Book Description
Love under trying circumstances
One night out of the blue, Ratchet Clark’s ill-natured mother tells her that Ratchet will be leaving their Pensacola apartment momentarily to take the train up north. There she will spend the summer with her aged relatives Penpen and Tilly, inseparable twins who couldn’t look more different from each other. Staying at their secluded house, Ratchet is treated to a passel of strange family history and local lore, along with heaps of generosity and care that she has never experienced before. Also, Penpen has recently espoused a new philosophy – whatever shows up on your doorstep you have to let in. Through thick wilderness, down forgotten, bear-ridden roads, come a variety of characters, drawn to Penpen and Tilly’s open door. It is with vast reservations that the cautious Tilly allows these unwelcome guests in. But it turns out that unwelcome guests may bring the greatest gifts.
By turns dark and humorous, Polly Horvath offers adolescent readers enough quirky characters and outrageous situations to leave them reeling!

Thank God for the Hunt Club.......2007-06-30
This book is about a shy girl named Ratchet who lives with a verbally abusive mother who doesn't let her have any friends. Not far into the book, her mother ships her off to stay the summer with her great-aunts in Maine.
There are several little twists in the story. Another girl is dropped off at the great-aunts' house. Ratchet learns to milk the cow. Ratchet's mom finds a boyfriend. Ratchet learns of her aunt Tilly's marriage.
To me, this story is about small joys in life, like gardening, milking cows, going swimming, and good people. I really liked it, but I think it's a personal thing. Also, it has the "f" word in it, so beware. I wouldn't want to shelter my kids from this book- this is a great story. If you're a teacher or librarian, I'd be wary of this book.
Life in a Nutshell.......2007-02-22
After reading this book from the library - I turn here to buy it and thought I would check out the ratings.....for me it was 5 star all the way...no sugar coating here but a warm and straight forward tale - one that I am more then willing to pass along to my daughter and maybe if I can twist my sons arm - him as well. A few "F-bombs" aside (which they use maybe 2 times in almost 200 pages - believe me even though this isn't a word that we use - I have heard it and worse from the kids at the school where my children attend in their fine up-scale middle/upper class neighborhood), Why would I want to hide such a wonderful story about life from my children? As a parent I don't own rosy colored glasses nor would I put them on my children....as a parent we try to protect our children but I am not keeping my children in a box - what happens when they turn 18 and are no longer in the boxes we put them in? Who is there to shelter them then?
This is a story filled with warmth and humor and truth about realtionships that we have no control over. It's about change ( even thought for 72 years nothing had changed - when those two girls hit the house things changed) and love and finding happiness in who you are....
"Penpen said that Tilly lived the way she had chosen, in the woods, uncluttered and undisturbed and that we have to love people as they are, free from what what we want them to be..."
Two ladies live in a way that makes them happy and give two teenage girls a home, stability and love - something that neither have had in any great supply. It's an honest story...one that I have no shame in claiming that I love.
A New Favorite.......2007-01-31
If the premise of the book sounds good to you, then I guarantee you will enjoy it. The tale is whimsical and meaningful, a rare combination. Though, I am not really certain the appropriate age group for the book, as an adult I thoroughly enjoyed it. Ignore the negative reviews unless you, like the nay-sayers, are prudish and uninspired, then simply skip this little gem.
Such a disappointment.......2006-08-29
What is the world coming too when even children's fiction have THAT swear word in it? I was thoroughly disappointed in this book. It was such a fun read and I related to Rachet but, language like that just makes me cringe. I won't let my children read this book and I'm throwing it in the trash rather than donating like it usually do.
Canning Season.......2006-03-07
Hilarious fun read; quirky and strange yet rewarding tale of one summer that changed a girl's destiny. Ratchet is a forced recluse whose mother is obsessed with being admitted into the Hunt Club a Florida country club, Ratchet's mother Henrietta only cares about the Hunt club and keeps Ratchet from making friends because of a mysterious birth mark, referred to as that "thing". Ratchet without warning is sent away for the summer to live with some very old women in woods filled with bears. The style of this book is great, similar to Roald Dahl and just as lively. This is a great family read.

I like the seasonal organization of the book, and have found many of the recipes to be delicious. My favorites include Pizza Oil, Rhubarb-Orange Compote and Pistou and Pesto. This is a great little book packed with good recipes.
Preserving for All Seasons.......2000-09-29
Excelent book! Did you know you can do canning with just the items already in your home?! You can do as few as 3 cans, as well! Wonderful recipies, and even recipies for the finished products! Very Good!
Shark Recipe in this Book!.......2000-05-30
Wonderful recipes for preserves as well as other dishes. However, there is a recipe for shark in this book, which may be objectionable to readers who believe, as I do, that sharks should be preserved (not made into preserves)!
