the book that started my addiction..........2005-06-30
All that I can say is that Sean Flynn wrote this book about a horrific true event in such a way that I feel as if I lost my friends in the blaze. I can only imagine how the true friends of these 6 men felt and continue to feel each time they see a family member of one of their perished brothers. I'm not a crying man, but I cried at some points in this story b/c they hit so close to home for one, but for two you get so wrapped up in the lives of these men that you feel the stinging pain of realizing they have died. It's a sad story, that I actually remembered hearing about after i read the book, but it's also very motivating to anybody that has thought of becoming a FF. It's almost as its a test of your heart to be a FF. Like the beginning of initiation (hazing) to become a part of a fraternity. I know two other people that read it, that upon completion(one wasn't even able to finish) withdrew from the FF applicant process in which we all signed up together. Weeds out the weak...well kinda. :o)
Either way you look at it, this is good reading. I finished in in 4 days and I was continually fussed at for 3 of those days by my 9 month pregnant girlfriend b/c I wasn't giving her the attention she wanted. Now she's reading it and i'm not getting any attention. Go fig!
Buy the book! BTW...my addiction i speak of in my title just means my addiction to FF books.
Realistic and compassionate........2005-01-14
I really enjoyed this book. My dad was a firefighter and I thought the writer portrayed the firefighters with a tough realisim without taking away their compassion for what they do. The families stories seemed to convey not only the day to day fears that all firefighters families have but, a small sense of what they went through when the unimaginable happened to them. Overall a great read by a writer who seemed to care about the subject.
WORCESTER not WORCHESTER - Keep the H out of it.......2004-03-25
Note to who ever wrote the Publishers Weekly review. Get a map. The second largest city in New England is Worcester Mass. not WorcHester. Those of us born and raised there pronounce the city to rhyme with mister.
Riviting.......2004-02-18
I read this book simply because my boyfriend said he couldn't put it down. I was mesmorized by the bravery these men went gave out to fight the fire. After every page, I kept thinking to myself, "This is TRUE." I have a stronger respect for the brave fire fighters aroundt he world. Not only is this book about the fire and the fighters themselves, but it also depicts the family's devistation after the fact. Every page brought tears to my eyes. I would recommend this book to anyone, especially family's of fire fighters. Didn't want to put it down.
Heart Wrenching.......2004-02-08
You meet Worcesters finest, go to work with them. Then the worst happens and you pray with them, cry with them, and mourn with them. This book is wonderful, I could not put it down. I cired for the families and for the Firefighters left behind.
Book Description
In the spring of 2001, an industrial fishing trawler went down in the icy waters just below the Arctic Circle, with its position last recorded at 58 degrees north. The Arctic Rose sank so abruptly that there was not even time to put on survival suits or call for help, and all fifteen men aboard were killed. Hugo Kugiya’s book is a powerful story of adventure and disaster, illuminating how the modern industrial fishing industry gave rise to these fifteen young men’s dangerous and strangely archaic life, and tracing the Coast Guard investigation into what really sank the Arctic Rose.
Customer Reviews:
An Interesting book.......2006-03-11
The fishing industry has the highest casualty rate of any profession and yet you hear next to nothing when a fisherman
perishs unlike a firefighter or policeman mind you taking nothing away from either of these professions.
In 2001 in the far corners of the bering sea the Artic Rose without warning or any mayday or distress signal sinks bringing about the deadliest american fishing boat accident in 50 years.
This follows the attempted rescue by the coast guard and the resulting lengthily investigation as to what caused the sinking of the boat, a boat that had a previous life as a shrimp boat in the gulf of mexico and at the time of the accident was converted to a flatfish bottom trawler. The author also gives a detailed background on the crew a crew except of the captain and a couple of others were very inexperienced. The crew came form all over from montana to mexico and from the descriptions seem that most were on a steady stream of bad luck.
This was a pretty fastpaced book that should keep your interest the only problem i had with this book i felt the author should have group the background information together,it seems scattered through out the book like it was a after thought in some sections. If you like this book or stories like it i would recommend books by Spike Walker and William McCloskey
An adventure in politics and survival alike. Absorbing and well detailed.......2005-10-07
In 2001 an industrial fishing trawler went down in the Arctic and sank so quickly there was no time for the crew to even call for help. All aboard were killed - leaving behind no trace of the cause, no witnesses, and a mystery involving a rapid sinking under calm seas. Journalist Hugo Kugiya's investigation is as much a probe of the modern fishing industry's controversial operations as it is a review of the disaster itself, making 58 Degrees North: The Mysterious Sinking Of The Arctic Rose an adventure in politics and survival alike. Absorbing and well detailed.
Disgraceful.......2005-05-29
I am extremely disappointed to have found that the Author did not take the time to research some of the Persons named in the book. There is information which is incorrect which makes me wonder about all of the information given in the entire book. Permission was not given from myself or any of my family members mentioned in this book! The insinuations which are made are very disturbing to me and hurtful. The family members who we have tried for so long to protect are no longer protected. I find this to be disgraceful!
For once I agree (partially)with a Publishers Weekly review!.......2005-05-05
Overall a good book, great research; author's obviously taken the time to interview the relatives of the crew aboard the ARCTIC ROSE.
As far as the writing went--it seemed to take Kugiya some time to settle down between present and past tenses early in the book which was irritating and took away from the rhythm of his writing. Also, he spent far too much time with the history of Dutch Harbor and the brothers of the captain of the ROSE (why, I kept wondering, and skipping as I read).
What I will agree with PW with is this: he could have done with a more diligent editor at Bloomsbury, someone who was able to take apart all this copious material and research and put it together more cohesively--I don't expect the author to know how to do this (he would be too intimate with the work) but it certainly is the editor's job.
Will not agree with PW regarding Kugiya's use of language--I found his turn of phrases refreshing and entertaining, not overworked. He certainly knows how to creatively use language even if he is writing a book of non-fiction.

Book Description
In this fascinating account of the ecological effects of the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill on Prince William Sound, Jeff Wheelwright tells the complex story of a region where natural disturbance is normal. While the spill had toxic short-term effects, the author concludes that cleanup efforts probably perpetrated more damage than the oil did. Left alone the Sound would have repaired itself quickly. Throughout the book Wheelwright illuminates the gap between the scientists` measurements of change and the public`s understanding of disaster. The author has written a new afterword for this paperback edition.

interesting on science, but falls badly short on policy.......2006-12-21
Many mysteries faced the scientists who came to investigate the worst oil spill in American history, who arrived with hundreds of pet theories to explore and promote. But even greater challenges arose with the arrival of the politicians, enviro-activists, Exxon executives, and, of course, federal bureaucrats; they had to choose, and finance, measures to contain and perhaps "reverse" the environmental damage. Were otters and salmon as threatened as they appeared? Would the poison work its way up the food chain, to the bald eagle and man? Would the cold climate doom their efforts? Or should nothing be done? What, finally, did "environmental recovery" mean?
To explore these questions, Jeff Wheelwright decided to tag along with the scientists. Sometimes awestruck, sometimes antagonistic or even macho - in one place he licks raw oil off his finger to silence a heckler - Wheelwright got unusually close to his subjects, which highlights both the strengths and the drawbacks of his approach.
On the positive side, he examines issues in the infant science of ecological disaster and recovery. Many assumed, for example, that animal populations were severely harmed. This seemed natural, but were they?
Sea otters, who sustain their high metabolisms through ravenous eating, were judged extremely vulnerable to breakdowns in the ecological chain. To help them, some scientists captured and scrubbed the oily otters clean, then implanted radio transmitters in their bellies to monitor their progress. But soon others claimed that a quick wash removed their natural insulation, worsening their chances in the wild. In the end, no one could determine whether the surviving otters were even ill. It was harder still to measure the impact on game fish populations: estimates of salmon returning to their Prince William spawning grounds vary from one to twenty million each year. In the face of such uncertainty, how could scientists plot the oil spill's precise impact?
The same was true for the toxicological damage of the spill: some petroleum compounds are more poisonous than others; some evaporate and disperse immediately; and some may sink to the seabed, a deadly long-term legacy of the accident. For example, inside the gashed hull of the Exxon Valdese, scientists were astonished to discover it was teeming with life. Dodging globs of oily matter in the wounded bulkhead, salmon, herring, and shellfish were flourishing; even the cloudy water, upon closer inspection, was revealed to be dense with bacteria and other microorganisms. This miniature ecosystem, perhaps ten times richer in biota than the water outside, should have been a poisoned and stagnant pool. But it wasn't.
To investigate these observations and their toxicity scenarios over time, scientists painstakingly heated oil samples, electrically charging the vapors that boil off with each increase in temperature; the amount of charge - how much of each vapor sample there is - indicated the exact chemical constituents. Unfortunately, writes Wheelwright, the scientists had virtually no idea what their readings meant. For all their chemical statistics, it was like they had a map but didn't understand where it began.
These are valuable portraits of the grunt work that is the bread and butter of scientific research. It is a messy business, full of half-answered questions, ambiguous results, and healthy disagreement. Unfortunately, by continually lamenting that the experts cannot agree and that "objective" measures don't exist, Wheelwright gets lost in the details and even seems to misunderstand the nature of the scientific enterprise. It is a symptom of the deeper flaws in his book.
Wheelwright seems to assume, with surprising naivete, that the right answers are out there if only we'd let the scientists be scientists. In one of the cheapest shots in the book, he complains about the "bureaucrats" who are blocking scientists, influencing the press, or withholding vital information. Yet Wheelwright makes virtually no attempt to uncover what motivated the bureaucrats, what concerned them, or what directives may have come from Washington, DC; he completely fails to appreciate that they must make decisions quickly, however spotty and incomplete the evidence, and without the benefit of hindsight. As such, he does not explore the political context in which the scientific questions were formulated.
Even worse, Wheelwright blithely concludes that it may have been better to do nothing. Attempting to help, he often argues, hurts more than allowing nature to "take its course". Yet if Wheelwright admits that experts cannot agree, on what basis can he advocate that doing nothing is better? On none, it turns out, except his own assumptions that the environment can "tough" it out. It's not as if you can run the disaster over like an experiment in a test tube!
Instead of probing into the rich area where science meets government under pressure, Wheelwright chose to hang out in the scientific trenches. It is often interesting and gracefully written, but is a sadly incomplete picture. Lurching from story to story, Wheelwright's book rarely builds any narrative momentum, and leaves too many of the big questions unanswered. We never learn what "environmental recovery" should mean, or whether it took place in Prince William Sound.
I would not recommend this book except for those wishing for an introduction to the science - this is a four-star performance. The policy dimension - where the science is supposedly applied to remedy real-world problems - is ridiculously ignored; it rates one star in my view, and the author seems intolerably, arrogantly glib in his judgments and unsupported pronouncements.
Brilliant, Brilliant man.......2003-01-04
Though some are quick to wince and scurry from the depth and gravity of this fascinating work, those with true intellectual capacity will regard it as classic. Jeff Wheelwright writes with a type of fluidity and beauty that is rarely seen in science writing today. He should be praised and rewarded for Degrees.The continuous quality of Wheelwright's writing is astounding.

Degees of Disaster.......2001-12-14
Degrees of disaster contains a great deal of information. Because of the scientific nature of the material, I would suggest the addition of visuals to assist the reader. The inclusion of graphs and charts would help readers digest the vast quanity of statistics presented.
It seems that the authors sporatic attempts to "personalize" the text by romanticizing the Sound act to discredit. I'm referring to passages like "I had the strongest sense of th oil being incoporated by the Sound, even embraced." Descriptions such as this and others that appear on the following page(132) detract from the book. They don't appear to "mix" with the hard science text. This incongruence caused me to wonder who his intended audience was.
I think the book focuses on problems without offering solutions. The afterward seemed shallow, as if the author was rushed or tired. Wheelwright missed an opportunity for a heart to heart with his audience.
Book Description
Evan Marshall and Ed Sanow rocked the firearms world with the release of Handgun Stopping Power and Street Stoppers. Both books predicted the effectiveness of all types of ammunition by studying the results of real-life shootings rather than relying on laboratory tests that ignored the dynamics of an actual gunfight. This third book in the series provides the very latest street results of all the major handgun calibers, from .22 LR to .45 ACP, as well as popular rifle and shotgun loads. It also contains chapters on short-barrel ballistics, the emergence of the hot new .357 SIG caliber, the continued success of the .40 S&W, the development of the latest exotic ammo, the effectiveness of black powder firearms and a brand-new ammo test protocol based on the results of the many gunfights of U.S. Border Patrol officers.

Stopping Power.......2007-08-26
I don't know if the data and other information presented is valid or not (many apparently believe the latter). Having very little first-hand experience in assessing the comparitive lethality of various types and calibers of handgun ammunition, I can neither agree nor disagree with conclusions made. But it is, at the very least, interesting reading from cover to cover, and is thought-provoking.
Stopping Power: A Practical Analysis of the Latest Handgun Ammunition .......2007-05-12
I was moderately disappointed with the analysis and presentation of the material.
Its Good!!.......2006-03-08
This Book gives you an idea on what to expect performance wise from various loads through testing and real world incidents ..
At least someone is trying to analyze this stuff.......2006-02-17
This book is controversial, its predecessors were even more controversial. While there are flaws they try to come up with a systemetized way of measuring things that are nearly impossible to measure. At the end of the day, this subject will always be controversial. Its like arguing religion. Ignore the emotions in these reviews. THis book is worth it. It does a better job than anyone else's.
I don't know why folks vilify these authors and their books?!.......2005-08-02
After reading way too many discussions on "stopping power" in gun forums, I figured I'd buy the book and see what all the nay saying was about. After reading the book, I must confess it sounds to me like lots of folks hate these guys (and their findings) because it doesn't square with what they already believe. I haven't finished it completely (I keep jumping around chapters), but so far I'd have to say it's great!
True, stopping power is not an exact science as there are so many variables, but the authors acknowledge this.
Basically, it looks to me like many folks depend entirely on lab results, loving the repeatability they can achieve when in the lab (the "Jell-O Junkies"). 'Course, we all know when it comes to real world results, things are often not what they seem in the lab. Looks like these guys got real world results first, THEN took the same ammo to the lab to see how it tested. Since they know what works in the field, hopefully bullets can now be designed in the lab using the lab characteristics of real world stoppers as a baseline.
As one who tends to come down on the side of real world results (ignore the real world at your own peril!), I like their methodology!

Great guide.......2006-06-26
Better than most beginner's guide. Very easy to understand and made very interesting. Believe it or not now I can find the context of conversations.
Cantonese Anyone?.......2004-11-01
First of all, I have to give credit to anyone who writes a book explaining the pronunciation of cantonese. However, this book would be more useful as a reference or supplement guide to those learning cantonese but already know the basics of the language. I wouldn't recommend it for beginners, but it wouldn't hurt to have it if you're looking to expand your vocabulary.
Very Good, Great Vocabulary builder........2004-10-23
Mostly all the translated words are on the mark and in nice neat cantonese. Lonely planet has done a great job. Much better than the yale style because the cantonese part is broken into syllables and you don't have scratch your head too much about where the stress/intonation points go. Hamburger is "hon bo baau", museum "bok mat gwoon" It does take a small degree of guess work and a decent speaking knowledge of cantonese get it 100% right, but that's life. Also provides sample sentences for everyday actvities. Would be useful for learning colloquail terms and traveling. Of course if you're in Hong Kong you could just speak english... Lastly I also have the Periplus Pocket cantonese dictonary, it is just that a thin long dictionary and hardly "ideal for...travelers"
Good book , bad Romanization.......2004-01-24
This was my first book on the long trek to learning Cantonese. The book provides a detailed food section, which will come in handy when dining with the girlfriend's family. Food seems to be of high importance with the Chinese culture, so it is good that this section is very well done.
The problem I found was that the book does not use the widely accepted Yale romanization. I've been collecting all kinds of books for the last year, and Yale seems to be the most easily understood and most intuitive romanization technique that I've found.
Overall, the book has a diverse collection of phrases and vocabulary. It is a good book to have in your Cantonese collection.
Good for quick basic phrase lookup.......2003-10-10
Have found this useful for basic phrases and general conversation, however for anything harder, I've had to go back to a more authoritative source, a native-Cantonese speaker to get the info that I'm looking for. This isn't good for learning as such, but it is a useful tool if you know some cantonese already to reinforce what you know for general converstaion and also if you are stuck in Hong Kong with the characters being alongside the romanization for easy pointing to the locals if you are having trouble with the tones.

Book Description
Rosie and Phoebe have been best friends since they met on the Divorce Express, shuttling between their parents on weekends. So when Rosie's mom falls in love with Phoebe's dad, and they all move in together, it seems perfect. But Rosie soon learns that having Phoebe as a sister and having Phoebe as a friend are two very different things. And having an extra parent around isn't easy either. Rosie always thought that she and Phoebe would make great sisters. But can their friendship survive being in the same house?

Watch out for the aardvark..........2006-11-30
Fourteen-year-old best friends Rosie and Phoebe are thrilled when their single parents fall in love and decide to move in together. But, as they quickly learn, being best friends is totally different than having to share a room together. And, as their parents learn, it's hard to blend two different families and lifestyles together without some kind of problems arising.
Rosie, who is half white and half black, also realizes that she's the odd one out. With Phoebe and her father, Rosie's mother Mindy has finally formed an all-white family, while her dad has also formed an all-black family with his new wife. It's only Rosie who doesn't fully belong in either family.
When Phoebe invites Rosie to visit her stepfather's relatives in Canada, she jumps at the chance. She's even more thrilled to meet their teenage son, Jason, who's everything she ever wanted in a boyfriend. It's then that Rosie realizes the importance of valuing a person's inner self, no matter what others think.
Great Book.......2001-12-17
This book was great. Rosie's life is similar to the people who have to deal with their parents being divorced. People with divorced parents usually have to visit both of them which means that they will have to go back and forth just to see them.
This book was short but it was great. It was kind of sad when Rosie's family was fighting with each other and she was the one who was stuck in the middle. When I first looked at it, I thought that it would be another one of those boring books but when I started to read it, it got exciting so I kept reading until I got to the end.
Good but too easy to read.......2001-12-03
This book was a great book and it was one of the better sequels I have read in a long time, but I read it in one day. It wasn't because it was interesting, it was because it was to easy to read. I am not one of those people who don't go outside, because they read all day, but you could read this book in about one hour.I would recomend this book to a first grader, even though it is for young adults.
Great book- especially if you like Danzinger's work!.......2001-01-17
If you've already devoured the rest of Danzingers and are just looking for another one of her books to sink your teeth into then this is the book for you. If you haven't read any of her books and are just looking for a short read, don't read this, read the first one, THE DIVORCE EXPRESS. It's a pretty good sequel to THE DIVORCE EXPRESS. Rosie's mom and Dad get together and start living with each other the girls find out just how hard it can be to live with some one, even if your best friends with that person!
A fun valuable read, however the language could be promoted.......1999-10-27
I really enjoyed this read, short and sweet, however a teen deserves to be given a stronger more respectable vocabulary when approaching the taboos of teen's life. Is it necessary to approve of the jargon teen's apply to sex etc.? VAluable lessons and a great characterization, but by applying their language is not the only way.
