I have been a huge fan of DeLorme State Atlas and Gazetteer books for 20+ years. I will never plan a trip without one. I find them absolutely indispensable and have them with me on any car trip, period. I do however have a preference for the older style of mapping used on the earlier editions. I used to own an old Utah Atlas and Gazetteer and much preferred it to the new one. The enhanced topo information and colorations are neat but the actual road mappings have a new style that are annoying to me. It is much harder with longer dashed lines for unimproved roads to determine whether the road intersects another one. Anyone who does backroading in Utah knows that when a road is near another on the map does not mean they intersect. One road could be 1000 feet below another and both will dead-end. It is not fun to plan a trip not being sure whether your road goes through. Although I still like the maps, I feel the need to have another topo source for backroads. I wish DeLorme would update their Atlas and Gazeteers in the old format rather than the ‘slick’ newer style.

I recently went to buy several new Delorme Atlases (for a few different states) because my old ones are getting a bit long in the tooth. Well, I left the store without them. I’m glad I didn’t order them here because they would have been sent right back. The newest versions are simply zoomed-in highway/road maps. I can get the same info at the gas station for a dollar and have 70 less pages of nothing to carry around. There are no elevation contours, half the details are gone, and the format is generally ‘dumbed down.’ These maps used to show all sorts of interesting things for those who ventured off the main roads. The new ones show major roads, pretty colors, and generally which Interstate takes you to the national forests. If you’re cruising the Interstates and are looking for the triple latte of highway maps, you’re set. Otherwise… worthless.

Sorry, but Delorme REALLY blew it. They need to rehire the cartographers and fire the graphic artists.

I have several of these of Arizona, Utah and New Mexico. Duplicates of each… one in the house for planning and study, one in the truck. Occasionally I rotate them so they don’t wear out too quickly. I gave Delorme top billing in my Desert Emergency Survival Basics book, but you don’t need a desert and you don’t need an emergency to need a delorme atlas. Any rural area in the United States is probably covered by them.
If you spend a lot of time in the back country these maps are the best alternative, from my point of view. It’s true the maps don’t have labels on the back country cow trails another reviewer complained of. The fact is, neither do the roads. But it’s often helpful when you come to the fork in a dirt two-track and they both wander off a few degrees off North, to be able to crack open the Delorme and discover the one on the left plays out just over that hill over there at a windmill. There’s no excuse for needing labels these days. A compass and Delorme will allow you to locate yourself in most instances.
However, even the back woods purist ought to own a GPS. I’ve been wandering around the back woods longer than most readers of this have been alive. I rarely get lost, but I frequently don’t know exactly where I am. Occasionally my old TrailBlazer saved me a lot of walking to get back to the truck. Once it saved my life in a snowstorm, I imagine.
For motor traveling you’ll cover too much ground to allow the 7.5 minute maps to help much. You pass from one map to the next too quickly. When you are afoot a couple of them become useful. Meanwhile, I use Delorme as one of the ways to keep track of my wanderings. I recommend them wherever you are. And a GPS, as well.

Into Thin Air Audible – Abridged


Into Thin Air Audible – Abridged dged
Author: Jon Krakauer ID: B0000544YH

Into Thin Air is the definitive, personal account of the deadliest season in the history of Everest by the acclaimed journalist and author of Eiger Dreams and Into the Wild. On assignment for Outside magazine, Krakauer, an accomplished climber, went to the Himalayas to report on the growing commercialization of the planet’s highest mountain. Everest has always been a dangerous mountain. From the first British expeditions in the 1920s until 1996, one climber has died for ever 4 who have attained the summit. This shocking death toll has not put a damper on the burgeoning business of guided ascents, however, in which amateur alpinists with alarmingly disparate skills are ushered up the mountain for a $65,000 fee. To ascend into the thin, frigid air above 26,000 feet – the cruising altitude of a commercial jetliner – is an inherently irrational act. The environment is unimaginably harsh, the margin for error miniscule. Krakauer examines what it is about Everest that has compelled so many people – including himself – to throw caution to the wind, ignore the concern of loved ones, and willingly subject themselves to such risk, hardship, and expense. Written with emotional clarity and supported by his unimpeachable reporting, Krakauer’s frank eyewitness account of what happened on the roof of the world is a singular achievement.

By and large, the negative reviews posted here have little to do with the quality of this book and almost everything to do with the presumed character of the writer, Jon Krakauer. Similarly, those who dislike Krakauer’s Into the Wild tend to focus their judgment of the book’s worth on their own feelings regarding the essay’s subject, Christopher McCandless, the young man who traveled the Western United States and Mexico for two years before perishing in Alaska. I read Krakauer differently. I am not interested in Krakauer’s liberal politics, his emotional instability, and variable maturity. I am not interested in whether he portrays the absolute truth in his account of the 1996 Mt. Everest disaster for the simple fact that I don’t believe the truth can be told. Writing is a very poor substitute for a frostbitten finger or a hypoxic head. All we have is Krakauer’s writing, so let’s look at what he does as a writer.

Krakauer is a sensationalist journalist, and since he reports on dangerous and near-death experiences regularly, he really can’t help being grandiose and spectacular. The subject of his writing demands that he ratchet up the emotional power of his style and word choice. And let’s be honest–don’t we, as readers, demand it of him as well? Don’t we want a voyeuristic and graphic account, where the size, the shape, and the smell of death seem to lift from the pages? Who wants to read about a mountain climbing disaster sans the emotion and the ego it takes to put one’s self unnecessarily into such perilous situations?
Having never understood why people climb mountains, and after seeing Beck Weathers on
television last year, I bought INTO THIN AIR in order to gain more insight. Krakauer delivered.

Have some time on your hands, because once you begin reading Jon’s story depicting the turn of
events throughout his journey on Everest in the Spring of ’96, you won’t be able to stop reading until you’ve read the last word in his book. This account of summitting Everest is a page turner even though the outcome is old news. It will leave you wanting to know more about other attempts made
on Everest, both failed and successful.

For those who don’t understand why on earth anyone would want to do something as dangerous as
climbing "Into Thin Air" on rock and ice … this book answers that curiosity. Because Jon introduces his readers to the backgrounds and personalities of the main characters in his book, we can better comprehend the different reasons people spend thousands of dollars and two or more months of their lives in "hell" on a mountain – freezing and injured – ‘just to get to the top’. We learn through Krakauer why they continue their ascent even though the conditions are pure torture and more life threatening with each step; why they don’t give it up once they’ve lost feeling in their extremities, separated their ribs, lost their vision, can no longer breathe due to oxygen depleted air, why they don’t turn back even when they see the dead who’ve attempted to reach the summit on prior expeditions. You’ll understand because of Krakauer’s talent as a writer … his ability to replay his emotions, his thoughts, his experiences, and his opinions through writing.

I usually love the Dummies guides, and this one in particular is already on the top of my list. First of all, I will say this book comes in a different size than the regular collection. It is 5.4 x 8.5 inches. I actually like this choice because this book is meant to be a college companion, so with this smaller size, the book can be easier taken with you.
As I just said, I believe this book should be an essential college companion, en even it should be for high schoolers. As such, the book explores all about critical thinking in 5 parts. Part I explores the world of critical thinking. Part II develops your critical thinking skills. Part III is all about applying those skills previously learned. In Part IV, reason and argument are explored deeper. Finally, in part V, the authors present logical pitfalls and how to avoid them, as well as ten arguments that changed the world.
All in all, this is an essential companion for college students and high school students alike. Adults who may be in need of reviewing fundamentals of critical thinking will find this guide extremely helpful as well.
I am recommending this without hesitation. 5 star!

Critical thinking is a skill largely abandoned in high schools and colleges. The evidence that Americans are missing these skills confronts you every day. Just read the drivel on any social media site or the comments on websites such as those owned by The New York Times, Washington Post and other high-profile media outlets. Largely moronic one-liners attempting to sum up complex political situations, endless juvenile name-calling and simplistic reasoning that entirely ignores known facts.

Author Martin Cohen first defines critical thinking and that sets about to explain each part of the thought package that comprises the art and science of critical thinking.

There are rules for arguing a point – and rules for parsing an opponent’s argument.

Cohen explains that critical thinking is largely concerned with avoiding logical fallacies and following the rules of “good essay structure”. Cohen writes in a straightforward way and he breaks easch concept of critical thinking down into manageable parts. I like his style.

In just sort of 300 pages, Cohen explains everything you need to know about how to think critically about any subject. This really is an excellent text if you never had a course in high school or college or just want a refresher. By the end of the book, I was wishing a lot more people would be reading it.

Jerry

The "…for Dummies" books have a reputation for being shallow introductions to sometimes complicated subjects, and there are Dummies books that are exactly that. Not this one.

This is a very well organized, well written guide to the essential skills involved in critical thinking and to the pitfalls that need to be avoided when engaged in it. It’s probably intended for college students and adults, but I think high school kids could handle it, too.

The author, is a British academic philosopher who has written two well-known introductory texts, "101 Philosophy Problems" and "101 Ethical Dilemmas." In this book, he illustrates critical thinking skills in part by the way he organizes it. He offers a definition of critical thinking and then explains each component of his definition. The end result is a well structured argument that explains the "rules" for arguing one’s own point and for refuting the arguments of others.

Philosophy books have a well deserved reputation for being dense. One often has the feeling of swimming in oatmeal; it takes tremendous effort, but it doesn’t seem to produce any noticeable progress. This book isn’t like that at all. It’s not light, but it’s very clear and readable. As is the case with all of the "…for Dummies" books, the material is presented in short, easy to digest bites. But nothing is dumbed down.

I recommend the book most highly. I just wish more people– especially those posting political and religious rants online– would read it…

includes useful reading passages and some exercises but in my toefl exam I couldn’t find any words which I studied from this book. I don’t know maybe a it was just a bad luck but at least I should find something from this book in exam.

I recommend this book to all my TOEFL students. This summary perfectly reflects the sophisticated low-frequency vocabulary needed for the TOEFL and it’s mixed with high-frequency words to create a rounded set of vocabulary. However, as a student, don’t expect to read this book in a week or two and have memorized all words. It takes a lot of practice and repetition to remember and use these words naturally.

Thank you. Very good service. The book is very interesting for me. I am studying and learning a lot academic words!

I was looking for some new and unusual vegetarian recipes and thought I’d try this book, although I’d never heard of the restaurant. When I received the book, I was sort of pleasantly surprised to find that it was in a graphic novel format. The book relates a number of the restaurant owner’s personal stories, including among other things, why we should cook with oil and why she charges $14 for a plate of salad. The book is interesting, and the recipes are innovative and original (they include a few vegetable desserts), but they are really rather secondary to the owner’s story. If you are the sort of person who is looking for a cookbook with lots of recipes and pretty color photographs, this is not the book for you, but if you’re a fan of graphic novel art and unusual cooking memoirs, this will be a good fit.

I’ve been a big fan of the Dirt Candy restaurant since my sister-in-law got my husband a gift certificate to there as a birthday present. So needless to say where I heard that they were coming out with a cookbook I couldn’t wait to get my hands on it. Their food is so unique and fun that I couldn’t wait to see if I could make it myself.

When they announced that it would be a graphic novel cookbook I was a bit disappointed, but after finally getting my copy in the mail I can’t begin to tell you how wrong I was. This is hands down the best cookbook I have ever read. She has made the most complicated dishes so easy to understand, and I can’t wait to try them out this weekend.

Such a great story. It really does feel like I am getting two books for the price of one.

While I was very excited about this cookbook prior to release, because I mainly cook vegetarian meals and I had seen Cohen on Iron Chef and liked her style, I was at first skeptical about the "comic book" aspect of it. Not because I don’t like comics, because that’s not at all the case, but simply because I really enjoy a cookbook with good, full-color food photography… But I was delighted to find that the black and white comic illustrations have actually helped my fancy plating, immensely, since instead of just a photo of the finished product, you are actually given a diagram for how to assemble each dish.

I will say that this book is not really for beginners. Not that anything is terribly difficult, but pretty much every dish has at least four components that all need their own special preparations. I’ll commonly spend over four hours making recipes from here, and my kitchen will be a disaster area, but the results are definitely worth it. So if you’re a vegetarian who loves to cook and wants some VERY unique dishes that are heavily vegetable-based (as opposed to a fake meat as the bulk of each entree…) and doesn’t mind putting in the work to get them, then this is for you. The graphic novel sections are actually really great, too. Aside from being way cute, they offer a lot of insight into not only the strange world of restaurant work, but also the difficulties one happens upon by being a vegetarian.

Easily the best cookbook I own, and every recipe is an eventual must-make.
