4 out of 5 stars Extremely helpful.......2002-07-25

While trying to identify some slides that I shot during June of some wildflowers in Colorado, I tried to use Peterson's Field Guide to Rocky Mountain Wildflowers. I had a very difficult time trying to identify anything. I picked up Guennel's guide (for both prairie and mountain) and within minutes I had EVERY wildflower slide identified. I'd like to see more information about each plant, such as when it indicates 'poisonous' for the plant, is it for the whole plant, root, petals, ??? But the ease in identification more than makes up for the lack of additional info. I definately recommend this book.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent - just like it's companion book.......2000-03-13

See review for Guide to Colorado Wildflowers: Mountains for this review. Same author and same style applies to this one. Excellent resource with ease of use.

Nice guide, grouping by color helpful for identification. Could use more detailed anatomical descriptions and photos are a bit small.

    5 out of 5 stars Excellent hiking and wildflower resource.......2000-10-28

    As a botanist who loves hiking and flowers, I was thrilled to get the chance to "field test" this wonderful guide to Colorado's high mountains. It is organized by elevation so you can follow spring up higher as summer progresses. It clearly states the hike length, the terrain, the location, gives directions AND best of all - lists what flowers you will see! I found this book to be an extraordinary guide to the region and it helped me tailor my vacation and plan my hikes. The photos of the mountain scenery were very good and the close ups of the flowers were terrific. I think I actually bumped into the author on a hike (I recognized her from the photo in the back!). Terrific book!

    Most of the hikes in this book are simple hikes as well, so it is great if you have children with you. The book also serves as a reference guide for the different flowers you will see on your hike. The book shows the best time of year to hike the particular trails in correspondence with when the flowers are in bloom. Nice book to have on hand.

    4 out of 5 stars Great book for Wildflower Hikes.......2000-03-08

    I've taken a number of the hikes in this book and been very pleased. Very useful for wildflower photogs or anyone who enjoys nature. Directions and descriptions are easy to follow and accurate.

      I'd expected a series of wildflower pictures, scientific names and other factoids in these pages. I was pleasantly surprised to find each picture accompanied by a well-matched poem. The combination of good photography and verse makes this a very enjoyable work, exercising different areas of the reader's brain.

      4 out of 5 stars Excellent Introduction for new wildflower enthusiasts.......1998-04-12

      This small book provides attractive color pictures of every wildflower that it covers. The first time or sometime enthusiast will enjoy this book much more than the more broadly focused Jaeger and Munz classics that have fewer color plates and devote most of their coverage to the Mohave Desert. 1998 has been an extraordinary spring wildflower year. I have attempted to use all three books and found that my success with this one was such that I was able to find and identify about 3/4 of the flowers in the book just from my trips to Borrego Springs, Mecca Road (Box Canyon), Joshua Tree and the Colorado River.

          If you are looking for a guidebook that packs in lots of information alongside a ton of color pictures, this would be the one. It has an extensive history section and details the features of all of the major hotels and attractions. Take note that it is produced by the Discovery Channel, because it reads much like the channel's documentaries. That is the guide's downfall. While it is tall on info, it is horrible short on critique. It does not rate the hotels, restaurants, or attractions. If you want a really helpful guidebook, with lots of tips and advice, check out "The Unofficial Guide". The Insight Guide is a good secondary guidebook through which to read up on general Las Vegas info. Just don't make this one the first or only guide you buy about the city if you really want some insight.

          Book Description

          A bombshell exposé of how a self described "media creation" gets caught up in an illicit "axis of amorality" and a right-wing revolution that's divided and betrayed the American people and belittled our standing in the world.

          From George Bush's days in the busted oil fields of west Texas, to becoming Enron's bagman-in-chief, to the real war on Islamic extremism, Saudi ties to terrorism and the WMD deception, the true character of W. Bush, his greed driven politics and the absolute lie of his war on terror are exposed in a clear concise language that all Americans can relate to and understand.

          Bush Unplugged is not about tired, old, right-versus-left political bickering and backstabbing. It's about right vs. wrong, according to time-honored American values and the fundamental principals that 99% of us chose to live and abide by. You won't find any wild conspiracy theories here - only the little-known, yet documented truths behind the most controversial and divisive figure of the modern age.

          Only by coming to terms with who Mr. Bush really is can all Americans honestly evaluate the deceptive, divisive nature of his government—of his special interests, by his campaign contributors and for the top 1 percent wealthiest Americans. And ultimately make a stand for building a renewed sense of American community based on truth, justice and the American way.

          "In framing my thesis I took the advice of none other than Rush Limbaugh himself," says Author, Marc Umile. "When listening to Rush during the Clinton years, whether he was talking about Whitewater, Travelgate, Troopergate, this gate, that gate or even the Vince Foster suicide episode, ol' Rush was always quick to tell his listeners, `if you ever want to get to the bottom of any political intrigue, my friends, follow the money! Follow the money trail!'"

          In the finest traditions of the right-wing attack machine, Umile takes Limbaugh's advice and follows George W's money trail back to his days as a west Texas oilman. And like a bloodhound on a hot scent he follows that trail all the way to the mother of all oil reserves in Iraq. After all, there is simply no better way to evaluate a man's character, his leadership capabilities, and where he and his folks are really coming from than by FOLLOWING THE MONEY.

          This writer has a unique style that keeps you up late at night wanting to read more. Good points were made and I appreciated the references to back the information provided.

          5 out of 5 stars A book for all people.......2004-08-29

          The remarkable thing about Marc Umile's Bush Unplugged is that it accessible to people from all parts of the political spectrum. Umile's style is conversational, the information easily absorbed. I had fun reading this book even as I shuddered at the implications of the myriad undemocratic, self serving, and downright immoral activities of the folks currently administering The People's affairs. We should ALL read Bush Unplugged - NOW - BEFORE NOVEMBER 2nd!

          5 out of 5 stars fresh, independent research lifts a curtain of secrecy.......2004-08-27

          My Democrat friend begged me to read one chapter, 'just this one chapter' she said. I was bitten by the information, by Mr. Umile's straight-forward writing style and read the entire book.
          His voice is fresh, he's a political independent who tracked down incredible information on Mr. Bush, his family and regime; how can I ignore the facts. Just the facts.
          Read this and weep my fellow Republicans.

          5 out of 5 stars The guy is neither compassionate nor conservative.......2004-08-23

          If you have wondered where this administration came from, Marc Umile does a great job of answering that question. He makes it abundantly clear--with compelling arguments and persuasive evidence--that George W. Bush is neither compassionate nor conservative. It brings to mind the witticism about the meaning of "compassionate conservative": they still won't help you, but they feel really bad about it! Except this guy doesn't feel a thing. Not a thing.

          As you read this book, think about the principles that have defined traditional Republicanism: a commitment to balanced budgets, Constitutional government, a non-interventionist foreign policy, and keeping the government out of our personal lives. This administration--with its massive federal deficits, its promotion of the Patriot Act, its aggressive wars abroad, and its intrusion into the most intimate aspects of our privacy-- violates all four of those principles.

          Mussolini observed that "fascism" could be defined as corporatism, since it represents the merger of big business with big government, a coalition characterized by rampant nationalism and aggressive militarism. The leader is identified with the state, which makes criticism of the leader unpatriotic or even treasonous. Ask yourself where we find ourselves at the beginning of this new millenium. As you will discover here, the situation is more than a little frightening.

          5 out of 5 stars Bush Unplugged by Marc Umile.......2004-07-29

          I'm an avid reader but I tend to focus my attention on the likes of John Grisham and James Patterson. I've never read a political book in my life because I have no interest in,or clue about politics. For this very reason a friend of mine insisted that I read Bush Unplugged and I am so glad I finally took the literary political plunge. I was riveted from the first page,and throughout the book I could not believe what I was reading.I was blown away by what I did not know about the president and his cronies and how these stories are not reported on the evening news.Thanks to MR. Umile's book I feel like my eyes are open and I should spend more time reading about the money and power issues that drive our political figures.I had no clue and always put my trust in our leaders.What a fool I've been. Umile calls himself a "research junkie."I call him a brilliant public servant who opened my eyes.

          Book Description

          Nearly four million Americans have Alzheimer's disease, a debilitating neurological disorder affecting the memory that places great stress on the sufferer as well as the caregivers.

          Robert and Anne Simpson share the story of Bob's early onset of Alzheimer's in order to give families accurate, firsthand information about the disease and to give support and practical help to patients and caregivers. Their dramatic story, told from both of their perspectives, uses journal entries, conversations, letters and prayers, to trace the onset, diagnosis, and treatment of the disease.

          All who are trying to find a way through the wilderness of Alzheimer's will find understanding, compassion, practical advice, and spiritual hope in this story.
