Yankee Rock & Ice: A History of Climbing in the Northeastern United States

2 reviews
Laura Waterman, Guy Waterman, ...

Stackpole Books, 1993

The best history of climbing ever.
"Yankee Rock & Ice" is the best climbing history I have ever read for any region or era. The authors went to great lengths to get the history from primary sources. Straight from the horse's mouth as it were. They talked to dozens of old-time climbers to record their memories before they pasted-on. Sadly, many have, but their reminiscences are recorded here. This is a history in the true sense of ...

Wonderful, Witchy-ful, Delight!!!
This was sitting in the middle of my local Barnes & Noble's Halloween kiosk in the children's section. It was perfect timing, because I was in the mood for halloween reading for my 3 1/2 year-old. One look at the pictures and he was sold... I love this because it reminds me of the books that we'd have read to us during Story Hour at the local library in the early 1970's when I was a kid. The ...

Allen & Unwin, 1994

This book should not be out of print
Laura and Dutton have developed a safer and more effective approach to fitness training with weights. It is research proven at leading universities in Australia and the US, and is used by many elite athletes. For the theory behind the programme, see their earlier, more scholarly books. I have used it with good effect despite suffering from chronic muscle disease. Despite its rather poor ...

Annual Reviews, 2005

Sets a new standard
I made it out of New Orleans after Katrina with a backpack. In it I brought one book--this one! Before getting to the articles, I should mention that the '05 ARN has some major new design features. Most importantly, there are MANY more color illustrations which are now integrated into the text, instead of being on separate plates as in previous volumes. The paper stock is heavier and of ...

Annual Reviews, 2004

Excellent as usual
The 2004 edition of ARN is up to the usual high standards of this series. As a clinical neurologist, the articles I found most clinically relevant were: The Medial Temporal Lobe, which contains a good overview of memory systems; Cortical Neural Prosthetics, an intro to the future of rehab--shades of The Matrix--where cortical activity can be used through a computer interface to control ...
