Customer Reviews:
Excellent Resource.......2003-01-05
Seasons of the Elk is an excellent resource for anyone interested in, or studying elk. After seeing a surprise herd during a trip to CO, I had to learn more about the magnificent creatures. This book answered all my questions, including why the cows were leading the herd, why they made "conversational" sounds, and much more. All this - not to mention absolutely incredible photography.

Book Description
Backpacker Ryan Hart is deep in a Colorado wilderness with two fellow hikers from L.A. when he witnesses the death throes of the most incredible animal he's ever laid eyes on. Realizing the elk wasn't killed for meat, but as a trophy, infuriates Ryan. A nonviolent young man by nature, one who would rather run than fight, he is surprised at his extreme reaction. He commits an act of defiance that triggers violent retaliation. Ryan and his friends are driven into the depths of a terrifying savagery and the only person who can save them from almost certain death is a young female hunting guide who represents everything Ryan opposes. And everything he needs to survive.

Book Description
What could make a man want to sail solo 2,500 miles up the east coast of the U.S. in a dinghy not much bigger than a king-size bed? Fate led him to a 16' open Wayfarer dinghy, literally the biggest boat he could afford. Equipped with a 3.3 HP engine and a pair of sails, but lacking a cabin, galley, bunk, head, or electricity, she treated her new skipper to all the joys of a normal camping trip (rain, bugs, cold, solitude, baked beans) but with a vastly improved chance of drowning. This book tells Lee Hughes' story as he makes his way up the Intracoastal Waterway, learning the ways of the sea by trial and error. By journey's end, not only has he become a sailor, but he has also discovered what's important to him â and conquered more than one fear.
Customer Reviews:
a read for armchair non sailors .......2007-07-25
wish i hadnt bought the book it will end up being donated somewhere. The valuable information is that for beginners they should start with a small boat, preferably a dinghy and learn the craft. The author bought his boat fully equipped for crusing from frank dye whose books are well worth buying.
Although the writing style is readable, I am convinced that the author really doesnt like sailing or the sea. There is a mechanical approach to getting from a to b and if it means breaking out the credit card or asking for a tow so be it. The final nail in the coffin is the authors cutting short the trip because?
Not the best........2007-05-07
An interesting yarn, but not much technical or even practical info on solo sailing of small boats. I enjoyed the scathing criticism of the uptight Florida Marina Communities, but would have liked to see more details about his experiences in the Northeast Final leg of the voyage. If you're contemplating a long small boat voyage, don't bother reading this. Given the inexperience and naivite' of the author, it's a miracle he didn't get in more trouble or drown.
Well written, great story, would highly recommend........2007-03-10
I found this to be a great read. It is a well written, and humorous story with just enough commentary to really see what was going on in the authors head. I highly recommend the book, and although I am a small boat Sailor, I see this as something that would be very entertaining to non-Sailors as well.
Wonderful!.......2007-01-17
This was a gift for my husband, & he loved it. He had a hard time putting it down, & finished it an a few days.
An entertaining read.......2006-08-19
This is a book for those who enjoy travel stories.
It has enough technical talk to match the fact that the author was also learning as he progressed, and is as entertaining as the experience he had in his travels.
Worth reading.
Book Description
Written by the leading gender communication scholar, Julia Wood?s text introduces students to theories, research, and pragmatic information that demonstrate the multiple and often interactive ways in which our views of masculinity and femininity are shaped within contemporary culture. With the most up-to-date research, balanced perspectives of masculinity and femininity, a personal introduction to the field, and a conversational first-person writing style, GENDERED LIVES provides students with an engaging text that encourages them to think critically about gender and our society.
Customer Reviews:
Not the book for me.......2007-09-18
I didn't like the book. I had to read it for class. It was interesting to read, but she put so much facts in there that I couldn't remember everything that she said. It needs to be more oraganized and maybe less man biased like the other two men said. Before bashing me or my review, I'm a woman.
Edit: I put two stars, but I meant one, I changed my mind.
Propaganda.......2006-06-24
While I don't doubt the author's intentions weren't honestly good, the prescence of society influenced bias is ever present.
Just to point out a lone example from the first chapter, "In general, African American women are more assertive than European American women, and African American men tend to be more communal than White men".
Notice how she cares to use extensive titles for women and African American men, but when she discusses European American males we are merely "White" males. So much for an unbiased presentaton :)
Man Haters handbook.......2004-07-18
Julia Wood takes every chance she can to insult and denigrate men. In fact, the only men she will acknowledge in a positive way are those who have distinctly "feminine" traits. Many feminists may find this refreshing and validating, but it does little to foster better communication or interaction with members of the opposite sex. Wood is guilty of the same spiteful attacks on men that she portrays as happening to women.
A Great, Non-Stereotypical Feminist Book.......2004-04-27
Having read way too many textbooks in my academic career, I feel pretty confident saying that this is one of the best. The author presented the material (some of it difficult to swallow) in a straight-forward way, interjecting much-needed humor here and there. Many different viewpoints are addressed, and comments from other students, from a wide variety of walks of life are included, giving the reader exposure to a wide variety of thoughts and opinions.
The text reads quickly, and a lot of territory is covered. The author addresses everything from the various 'waves' of feminism to media coverage and violence. There is a lot of material in the book, and if it is read with an open mind, I don't see how the reader can help but be moved and possibly changed. There is no one that this book won't relate to - everyone has a gender.
Gendered Lives is a good read.......2004-04-22
I was assigned this book for my Gender, Race and Class class but I enjoyed it so much that I am not selling it back! I found standpoint theory helpful as I try to figure out where I stand in the world of feminism. As a minority, I liked reading about different cultures. So many textbooks are White. But this one wasn't. It was refreshing.

Book Description
Walking Dreams explores the life and work of the legendary Italian shoe designer, an artist who revolutionized footwear by introducing new styles and innovative materials that called up associations with furniture, domestic objects and radical architecture. Ferragamo's work was always experimental, from cork wedges made from Italian wine-stoppers to stiletto heels, both of which he invented, to towering platforms in pressed and rounded layers, sometimes sculpted or painted, sometimes decorated with gems or shockingly tiny mirror mosaics. Over the years, Ferragamo patented systems for making leather substitutes, systems for producing raffia or jersey uppers, heels made of transparent bakelite, and wooden soles held together with traditional joinery.
