Book Description
Much of the convenience of modern life resides in sheet metal, the cowling shield of most machines and appliances. However, the load that this takes off human shoulders has to be carried elsewhere, and the Earth has borne the burden. Many of us woke up to the environmental cost when over a century of industrialization finally surpassed the capacity of nature to assimilate it. International in scope, Heavy Metals in the Environment: Using Wetlands for Their Removal discusses wetland functions and heavy metal contamination. It addresses such questions as: Can systems powered by sunlight handle toxins more effectively than systems running on fossil fuel? At what scale and by what means do we define efficiency? These questions resonate increasingly with a number of global challenges. As inescapable as climate change, you can no longer avoid airborne toxins, acid rain, and polluted water by moving away from them. When the time comes to rely less on fossil fuel-based technology, how will we clean up the aftermath of toxic misadventures? Written by a leader in the growing field of ecological engineering, Heavy Metals in the Environment: Using Wetlands for Their Removal presents scientific studies that illustrate how natural systems use wetlands to adapt to changes in the ecosystem. It focuses primarily on lead, one of the first materials used by developing civilizations and a metal used heavily in the industrial era. The goal: to achieve a better understanding of how natural systems use wetlands to adapt to wastes.

California's Scenic Coast-McKinney at his Best.......2006-01-09
Aside from many years as the hiking columnist for the LA Times, John McKinney's main claim to fame is scouting out the route for the California Coastal Trail, a Mexico to Oregon Trail, which will hopefully be completed within the next 20 years or so. California does have some dramatic coast, and state beaches and parks preserve over a third of it. Still, with all the development along the coast any final route for the Coastal Trail will include some less than stellar urban settings. The great benefit of this book is that McKinney provides a comprehensive list and description of the best California Coastal areas and trails.
Most of the hikes described in this book are 5 miles or less, and longer routes usually include shorter alternative destinations. The maps are for the most part adequate and McKinney also devotes considerable space to the local history of each area. Using this guide, one could literally day hike the best of the Coastal Trail over the course of one or two summers skipping only the less scenic and difficult to access points. For this reason alone the book is worth the purchase price. But McKinney also includes walks in inland wildlands including Henry Cowell and Big Basin Redwoods, Limekiln State Park, the Ventana Wilderness, and Redwood National Park. In all it is a stellar introduction to California's wonderful coast. This is by far McKinney's best guidebook.

California's Finest at your Fingertips.......2006-01-09
California's national parks are among the best in the United States. They are certainly among the most diverse, ranging from dramatic seashores at Point Reyes and Redwood National Park to the stunning mountain parks in the Sierra, Yosemite and Sequoia/Kings Canyon, to the desolate Mojave National Preserve. This book by McKinney is a nice introduction to these areas and also includes lesser known places such as the John Muir and Eugene O'Neill National Historic Sites. Although it is listed as a first edition, the book is actually an update of a 2000 edition published by Olympus Press.
This book has a lot to recommend it, including (like all McKinney books) lots of local history and reasonably decent trail maps. The black and white photos within are sharp and both directions to the trailhead and trail descriptions are sound. Moreover, all the hikes here are winners. I have walked about one third of the trails listed herein and every one of them is worth doing at least twice.
The reason the book only gets 4 stars is that it only offers a small sampling of all the truly impressive day hikes that are possible in the parks. McKinney lists only 14 trails in Sequoia and Kings Canyon, a number that could easily be doubled. Where is the hike to Little Baldy Summit or the King's Canyon Overlook on the Hotel Creek Trail? For that matter, where are all the stellar hikes in the newly created Sequoia National Monument? Still, most of us only have a few days of vacation a year to spend in the parks and McKinney's book is a good introduction to these spectacular places. If you have never been to one of these parks, this book is a good place to begin planning a vacation around.

Buy for History, not Hikes.......2006-01-07
California has a huge state park system with over 250 different sites. This is far more than any other western state in the US. The system also includes some real gems. Humbolt Redwoods State Park and the Anza Borrego Desert are both national park quality retreats and many other state parks could make similar claims. McKinney's book is a great introduction to those parks with any sort of backcountry to explore. It also contains lots of colorful local history, sharp black and white photographs, and is a fun read.
The reason this book only gets three stars is that it actually shortchanges all the parks have to offer. McKinney devotes pretty much equal time to each park usually describing only one or two hikes. But some of these parks have extensive trail systems. Big Basin Redwoods State Park, for example, has over 60 miles of trail and McKinney really only covers a small portion of these in the book. The same can be said for San Jacinto Mountain State Park, Anza Borrego and many other wonderful destinations. So while this book is a good introduction to the state park system, it is hardly comprehensive.
As a final note, readers should be aware that while this book has a different cover and publisher, it is essentially a new edition of the old Olympus Press Book by the same title. McKinney has added only a half dozen new destinations to this edition and some of those are not yet open to the public.

Read for the History, not the Hikes.......2005-12-22
California has a huge state park system with over 250 units, far more than any other western state. Some of these parks like Humbolt Redwoods, Big Basin Redwoods, and Anza Borrego Desert State Park rival national parks in size, scenery, and recreational opportunities. Each has a unique local history and McKinney's 'Day Hiker's Guide' describes the background of many of these parks. In it you will learn about Jack Mitchel who led tours in his namesake Mitchel Caverns, John Pfeiffer's homestead in Big Sur, and the efforts of Henry Cowell and Joseph Welch to preserve the big Redwood Trees in Felton north of Santa Cruz. It is all very interesting, and well worth the read.
As a hiking guide, however, I can only give it 3 stars. The problem is that in describing so many parks, McKinney actually does a disservice to the major park trail systems. With few exceptions, only one hike is described in each park. This means that the .6 mile nature trail at Marina State Beach and the "mile or so" trail of Caswell Memorial Park gets almost equal time with the nearly 100 miles of trail in Humbolt Redwoods and the many hiking opportunities in Anza Borrego. Too many scenic hikes at the preeminent California Parks are simply left out. So buy this book for the colorful read, but be sure to carefully check state park maps before you hit the trails. In many places you will find far more than McKinney's book would imply.

Explore California's Sparse Deserts.......2006-04-11
For someone who considers himself a forest lover, I seem to spend a lot of time, especially during the winter and spring, in California's vast deserts. This new book by John McKinney describes more hiking opportunities in this region than any book I've yet examined. After "field testing" it this weekend, I can safely say that it is a worthwhile investment for all desert lovers and for those who cannot find anywhere else to hike when the mountains are snowed in. Indeed, if you are in the latter category (I used to be there myself) you may be pleasantly surprised.
This book offers 131 hikes in 7 regions of the state, ranging from Death Valley in the north to the Imperial Valley and Anza Borrego State Park in the south. Included are extensive chapters on the Mojave National Preserve and Joshua Tree National Park. Hikes range in distance from 1/2 mile to strenous all day treks along the desert divide of the San Jacinto Mountain range or cross country climbs of desert peaks in the Mojave. Anyone will be able to find a walk for their interests and ability within this book. I've hiked a little over 1/2 the trails and routes described here and I will be back for more. This is a great guide and worth the purchase price.
Book Description
Contains 150 walking adventures in all of California's National Parks, including Yosemite, Sequoia, Lassen, Death Valley, Muir Woods, and Joshua Tree. Also includes national preserves, seashores, recreation areas and historic sites. This single volume is a complete resource for the traveler who appreciates the opportunity to explore the natural and historic wonders of the Golden State--from redwood forests to glacial lakes to islands in the sun.

The Best of the Best.......2002-11-26
John McKinney will never be accused of writing comprehensive hiking guides. Most of his books cover a broad area of California, and don't mention every trail one might encounter. His books do, however, cover the some of the best trails in California, and those with limited time would do well to consult his guides.
This guide to the national parks of California is no exception. Avid hikers with a lot of time to explore the a Park might want to supplement McKinney's book with a local guide, but for the vast majority of visitors, with limited time, this should be the first book they look to for hiking ideas. The book covers every national park, monument, and historical site in the state. As might be expected, Yosemite receives the fullest treatment (27 hikes) while Cabrillo National Monument, Manzanar Historical Site, and the Eugene O'Neil Homestead receive less attention. Every hike description, however, is full of historical and scenic attractions, includes a map, and provides sound directions to find the trailhead.
It's hard to argue with the content of the book. Of the 150 hikes McKinney describes, I've hiked over 40, and all deserve to be included in a book of this sort. One could easily add other walks to this list (where is the trail to Little Baldy in Sequoia) but nothing should be excluded. A good guide and worth the price.

Exactly What it Reports to be.......2002-04-12
McKinney's book is exactly what it says. A very good guide to day hiking in the Desert Parks of California. Some are easy hikes, some very difficult, most somewhere between. Mckinney does a very good job of describing the highlights, terrain, difficulty, and warnings, as necessary. He points out that if you are not familiar with the desert there is much more to it than you might expect. The maps in the book are adequate. There are some pictures. There is an instructive introduction to hiking in the desert. The book is easy to read, well researched, and covers some very interesting areas; geologically and historically interesting. A good resource for anyone interested in the California Desert. A must for any hiker interested in the California Desert.

This is a good, solid guide to basic grammar by two women who claim to be "nutty enough to have liked diagramming in school." Their book is clear. It is not boring. It even compares punctuation marks to traffic signals (a period is a stop sign, a comma a flashing yellow light). But its crowning glory is the nearly 30 cartoons--from Sally Forth, Beetle Bailey, The Far Side, and others--on the subject of grammar that are sure to delight anyone who is nutty enough to have liked diagramming in school. In our favorite, Hobbes tries to persuade Calvin that a pronoun is "a noun that lost its amateur status." Calvin, after pondering for a moment, writes it down. "Maybe I can get a point for originality," he says. --Jane Steinberg

Excellent resource and a must have for students, writers, business people etc.........2006-12-04
I needed a book on grammar. There are so many different rules it's hard to keep them straight. I needed the basics and I needed a quick reference guide. I did not need one of those huge books that had 300 plus pages. They were filled with nonsense and radom rules that only English professors need to know! This book is easy to understand. Don't know the difference between bore and bore? Or altar and alter? There is a quick guide in the back to show you what to use. Get confused with lay, and laid? There is also a nice chart that shows you the difference between present, past and past participle. There is so much packed into this little book it will amaze you.
This book is excellent. And it's so easy to understand. It doesn't bog you down with unless information. This is a must have for everyone!
Keep It Close By!.......2001-04-05
Over the years I've fallen into poor grammer habits. This little gem of a book has helped me clean up my act--or should I say mouth! Keep it close by so you can consult it often. The fun layout makes it easy to grab a quick lesson here and there.
Homeschoolers will love NGG.......2000-04-10
As a writing teacher and home schooler, I haven't found a more enjoyable grammar reference book. My 11 year old son picked it up one day and read straight through the entire book in one afternoon. The appeal of the cartoons, the easy to understand explanations and the user friendly format make this the grammar reference of choice for all grammar-impaired parents who teach their own kids. I highly recommend it!
Great for parents to help their children!.......1999-09-14
Our child brought home grammar for the third grade and we had forgotten half of what we had learned in school. This book really helped us out greatly and I am sure we will get a lot more use out of it in years to come.
An outstanding book-- educational and entertaining.......1999-09-13
"Nitty-Gritty Grammar" is an outstanding book. I read it prior to having its authors Edith Fine and Judith Josephson on my talk radio show on WRKO Radio in Boston. They were informative and funny and the phone lines were full the entire hour they were on my show. The key to this book is that it is both educational and entertaining. In someone else's hands, this book could be a real snoozer. In Judith and Edith's hands, it is a work of art. If you read this book, you will stop making up "irregardless" and other words which don't exist (see page 85.) You will stop mispronouncing words like "asterisk" (it's not asterick-- see page 72.) And you will never again misplace your apostrophes, dangle your participles or commit other high crimes and misdemeanors against grammar, spelling, punctuation and pronunciation (see pages 1-102--the entire book.) The book includes many cartoons which will teach you while you laugh. The section on "Ways to Tame the Spelling Monster" is indispensable with clever ways to remember the correct spelling of words including "dessert" (it has two s's--think strawbery shortcake). If you only read the "ticker tape" which runs throughout the book at the bottom of each page, you will learn more than you did in twelve years of boring English classes. The amazing part of this book is that it can be used by children, teenagers and adults. I suggest you buy copies for your entire family and all your friends and coworkers. They'll speak properly when they thank you.

Book Description
John Dominic Crossan, the eminent historical Jesus scholar, and Jonathan L. Reed, an expert in biblical archaeology, reveal through archaeology and textual scholarship that Paul, like Jesus, focused on championing the Kingdom of God––a realm of justice and equality––against the dominant, worldly powers of the Roman empire.
Many theories exist about who Paul was, what he believed, and what role he played in the origins of Christianity. Using archaeological and textual evidence, and taking advantage of recent major discoveries in Italy, Greece, Turkey, and Syria, Crossan and Reed show that Paul was a fallible but dedicated successor to Jesus, carrying on Jesus's mission of inaugurating the Kingdom of God on earth in opposition to the reign of Rome. Against the concrete backdrop of first–century Grego–Roman and Jewish life, In Search of Paul reveals the work of Paul as never before, showing how and why the liberating messages and practices of equality, caring for the poor, and a just society under God's rules, not Rome's, were so appealing.

Best of the bunch.......2007-05-15
I'm a non-specialist in this area, learning about New Testament scholarship over the past few years. This was my first Marcus Borg book, and my favorite of the 20 or so books I've read so far. Borg is warmer and more sympathetic than Bart Erhman, for example, but like Ehrman, faces the current scholarship squarely and honestly. I like Borg's faithful stance. It's non-traditional, in that the scholarship has led him to see Jesus differently. But the insights into Jesus's life and times - these hit you on almost every page.
Valuable lessons that stick out in my mind - why Jesus posed enough threat to be killed by authories; how his message was both politically and spiritually radical; separating the historical Jesus from the Jesus worshipped by the early communities and writers; how truly radical the message was for its time; how in contrast to Mohamed or the Buddha, Jesus made his mark in just 2-3 years.
The book captures a picture of Jesus that's based on current research, but doesn't overwhelm you with the diverse perspectives and methods debated by scholars. Only a few times does Borg let you into the current questions facing scholars - that's for another book. But that's what makes this book so valuable, as an honest snapshot of Jesus and his times, from a sympathetic but critical scholar of faith.
A Clash of Visions of World Peace.......2007-05-01
"This entire book is about the clash between ... alternative visions of world peace. One is Augustus's vision ... The other is Paul's vision ..." So write Crossan and Reed (page 74) about the central theme of their book. Although nothing is known *archaeologically* of the communities of Paul, the archaeological heritage left by the Roman imperial theology of Augustus is immense.
The authors begin with a description of the city of Aphrodisias, a Roman city in what is now southwestern Turkey. 2000 years ago before Augustus became emporer, he declared Aphrodisias to be the one city is all of Asia (probably the province) selected to be his own. Aphrodite was the Greek version of the Roman goddess Venus from which the lineage of Augustus was allegedly descended. Mixed between the carved and engraved scenes of Zeus, Poseidon, and Aphrodite are scenes of Aeneas along with Romulus and Remus. Readers familiar with stories of the origen of Rome may recall that the classical sources for many of these stories wrote *for* Augustus.
Once I was chatting with a friend a of mine who was also an eminent scholar. We were at the annual AAR-SBL conference and he had just delivered a paper. "Aren't you ever going to write a paper with a thesis sentence?" I asked. "Never!" he responded. Crossan and Reed have filled their book with much archaeological detail, detail which at times reads like a travel book for a tourist. At times they write "you walk" or "you find." In this way the authors hope to demonstrate the pervasiveness of imperial theology. For Cross and Reed there is an "absolute conjunction between religion and politics." In the epilogue the authors propse that Jesus and Paul were not trapped in a negative view of the world but offered a positive alternative in its replacement.
Some too casual readers will think that Paul is being portrayed as a political revolutionary. In fact this was not the case. At the turn of the era Rome was very tolerant of diverse religions. Notice above that Rome adopted and adapted Greek mythology. Similarly Cross and Reed tell the story of the cult of Isis and how it was adopted and adapted into the imperial cult. Likewise there are some readers who will maintain that early Christianity was a political movement even though the New Testament tries to distance itself from such thinking and in non-canonical writings, the only possible connection between Christiainity and politics is a term used in a Greek graffiti, a term also used to describe an association of plumbers.
The blurb on the front cover of _In Search of Paul_ says that this is a "new vision" of the Apostle Paul. After thinking about the matter for a while, I would have to disagree. Has not the Gospel always maintained that the peace of God will always be at odds with the peace of the world? Perhaps another reader's faith would say it slightly different, but is this not the case?
Paul vs Rome .......2007-02-10
I was a little pleased to see that John Dominic Crossan (the main author, I'd say) turns out to be something of a fan of Paul. I had been prejudiced, I suppose, to expect something of a desacralising of the apostle and perhaps some questioning of his state of mind, such as I'd read in books by Burton Mack and, perhaps, Jerome Murphy O'Connor. However, though Crossan sees Paul as a vulnerable human being like the rest of us, he presents him as a genius of politico-sociological analysis (sorry about the jargon) on the one hand and as a theologian with a very clear, very challenging understanding of Christ's purpose as saviour of the world and messenger of peace through justice.
Like an earlier reviewer, I too began skipping the detailed bits about archaeological finds and the material culture of the Roman Empire, though I stayed with any discussion of what these revealed about social stratification, the production and distribution of social influence, and the living arrangements of people in the "insula" (suburbs and blocks of dwellings) and residences of people at the time, because I thought that would tell me something about the structure and practices of the early "house churches" - Paul's audiences. Which it did.
I think the book is very helpful at revealing the political, social and physical context in which Paul worked. It also has a powerful political and theological message that the authors believe is crucial for America in her attempts to impose and defend Pax Americana throughout the world.
Crossan proposes that Paul understood the death and resurrection of Jesus as significant because Jesus was executed violently by imperialist forces. This was seen as necessary to defend the Pax Romana in Judea. Jesus' resurrection, therefore, in Paul's view was an act of triumph over violence and over the imperial belief that peace can be achieved through victory and conquest. It wouldn't have had the same significance had Jesus died peacefully at home and then rose from the dead. Paul confronted the Empire with a model based on faith (surrender to God's will), justice (carrying out God's laws) and equality (within the Christian community at least). This model opposed the Augustan one of piety (cultic devotional practices), victory (violence), consolidation and peace. The latter may be interchanged in sequence, but they rest on continued actual or threatened violence, foundation of the cult of the Emperor as divine and the establishment of patronage and hierarchy - also interchageable - where the pecking order and the privileges attending it were based on access to powerful patrons. There was not much place for women, slaves or minorities in this hierarchy until they had broken through the hierarchical barriers (ceilings?) by one means or another, but Paul's vision of the Christian community itself was egalitarian ("neither male nor female, slave nor free, Jew nor Greek", etc). (The Pauline texts cited in favour of sexism and the like are insertions or from the pseudo-Pauline letters written after his death.)
Something the Publishers' Weekly review seems to have not picked up, but which is a critical component of Crossan's thesis is that Paul was not in fact preaching primarily to the Jews, or to the gentiles. Rather he was trying to capture the constituency knows as "God-fearers" or "believers". They were the pagans attached to synagogues, converted to the monotheism and laws and ethics of the Jews in their towns, but the males were not circumcised, they may not have observed kosher and they probably joined in with other citizens in performance of the sacrifices that were built into much civic ritual. They were sometimes relatively wealthy and perhaps able to provide a degree of protection to the Jewish community. Paul saw them as potential and valuable converts and addressed them as such. As you could imagine, this aroused much hostility to the apostle from the Jews in the cities he targeted.
This review has gone on too long - perhaps an indication of how helpful the book might be. I found it worthwhile and reasonably easy to read. Crossan's message to America is Paul's, that peace through victory does not liberate. It doesn't work, at least in the long term. That philosophy brought us the Pax Romana for a while, but, after centuries of war and destruction, it culminated in 19th century imperialism, 20th century totalitarianism and 21st century terrorism.
Disappointing -- but with some good insights .......2007-01-10
I've read three or more books by Crossan. They always look fascinating and they always disappoint. The man (and his co-author, an archaelogist) can simply not stay on the subject he promises to tell us about. His book on Jesus hardly mentions Jesus until after page 200. Is this book, Paul is sort of a straw man set up so that Crossan can give us a travelogue to various places he visited around the Mediterranean. There's far too much here about ancient ruins and far too little about early Christianity and Paul's role. The question is asked on the bookjacket: did Paul invent Christianity? I never found the answer in this book.
There are, however, some interesting speculations in this book and, on occasion, a startling insight. For example, Crossan speculates that Judiasm, rather than Christianity, might have become the official religion of the Roman Empire had events transpired a bit differently. And he talks about the "God-worshippers" who occupied a sort of halfway house between paganism and Judaism -- and were Paul's targets for evangelism.
So, like Crossan's other books this is worth leafing through to look for the good parts and skipping the dross. If you read the book expecting a biography of Paul, you'll be disappointed. You will learn more about the Roman empire and its architecture, and you will find pearls of wisdom about Paul hidden about.

Mediocre attempt that really is not in search of "Paul".......2006-08-31
Crossan and Reed here make a really poor attempt to do several things, provide a historical, sociological, anthropological, and religious context to the world of the historical Paul, while at the same time present a modern travelogue and archaelogical primer of Paul's world. But at the same time, they attempt an exegesis of Paul's writings, give themselves literary license to rewrite scripture, and try to downplay or even declare wrong whole portions of the New Testament. They obviously started the book with a clear agenda to challenge and find illegitimate non "politically correct" portions of the New Testament and so the title is completely misleading. While obviously everyone is entitled to their own views on scripture, this attempt at religious revisionism is absurd, especially when these authors pretend to do it under the guise of scholarship.
