.Pure Sea Glass: Discovering Nature's Vanishing Gems
City Travel Guides > Books > Outdoors and Nature
by: Richard LaMotte, Sally Lamotte Crane

June 30, 2004
This is a lovely coffee table book that is amazingly beautiful as well as informative. I have recently started collecting beach glass and I learned so much about the various colors, how rare each is and where the glass might have come from. I highly recommend this book to any beach glass collector.

.Zinn and the Art of Road Bike Maintenance (2nd Edition)
City Travel Guides > Books > Outdoors and Nature
by: Lennard Zinn

October 25, 2005
This is a great book that gives you basic instructions for maintaining all aspects of a road bike - whether the bike is brand new or twenty years old. I just built a road bike using the techniques in this book, along with some more detailed techniques available on the Park Tools website. I can't count the number of times that this book has allowed me to fix my bikes at home and keep them out of the shop!

A brilliant way to keep up with what is happening in shooting in America. I have most editions from the early 50's and find it compulsive reading.

.Mycelium Running: How Mushrooms Can Help Save the World
City Travel Guides > Books > Outdoors and Nature
by: Paul Stamets

October 15, 2005
This is a book that should be on every gardener's bookshelf. You learn that there is far more to building soil than just adding compost. Inoculate the soil with mushrooms and you can harvest food while you improve your soil and everyone's environment. Get this book and don't just read it. Put it into practice and improve the world.

.Mountaineering: The Freedom of the Hills
City Travel Guides > Books > Outdoors and Nature
by: The Mountaineers

2003-09
"Freedom of The Hills" is a must have for anyone who wants to or does spend time outdoors hiking, mountaineering, climbing or needs a reference for the mentioned sports. This book has it all. It is a great read. Like one of the previous reviews, you may want two copies. One for your house and one to take in the field with you. I have read the whole book and continue to review chapters in the areas of interest to me. You will not be disappointed. Enjoy it and get outside !

.Desert Solitaire
City Travel Guides > Books > Outdoors and Nature
by: Edward Abbey

January 15, 1990
In 1968 Edward Abbey wrote a memoir, Desert Solitaire, A Season In The Wilderness, that would instantly be hailed as a nature classic, as well as his bestselling work. While familiar with EA's name the only work of his I'd read up to this point was a woeful collection of the man's `poetry'. Believe me, when I say there's a definite reason for the quotes around the word poetry. Apparently the work is considered somewhat of a nature hymn, along the lines of Henry David Thoreau's Walden. This is a perfect example of poor criticism propagating myths down through the years. This is not to say that there is not some fine writing in DS, but neither its consistency nor tone are akin to Walden's....Although these events happened over 3 seasons, the book condenses ...

.Gemstones (Smithsonian Handbooks)
City Travel Guides > Books > Outdoors and Nature
by: Cally Hall

May 15, 2002
I'm a new beader, and while this is a beautiful book, many of the stones I buy are not listed when I look them up in the color-code index. My hopes were that when I forgot what the stone was called, or wanted more info to tell my customers, I could find it. There are so many color variations and so many semi-precious gemstones being made into beads, it may be impossible to have a total reference book. It is a great source for those gems listed, and it may be more geared toward rockhounds.
