Wild Seattle: A Celebration of the Natural Areas In and Around the City

2 reviews
Timothy Egan

Sierra Club Books, 2004

My Favorite "Seattle" book!
This book does a terrific job of capturing the beauty of the Seattle area. It's a perfect blend of landscapes, lighthouses, animals, city landmarks, mountain ranges, and waterways in each season. Even though it is titled "Wild Seattle" it encompasses much more including Skagit Valley (tulips), the San Juans, Deception Pass, orcas, the Olympics, Cascades, and plenty of written information as ...

Western Edge Press, 1997

Excellent guide to herbal uses of native Southwestern plants
Living in the Southwestern Chihuahuan desert, I am always on the search for sources of information regarding local flora and particularly ethnobotanical uses of plants. This is an excellent guide originally published in 1947 and edited by Michael Moore who I consider to be an expert on herbal uses of native southwestern plants. For anyone interested in this subject, a fabulous resource to ...

The Rise of American Civilization

Charles Austin Beard, Mary Ritter Beard

Kessinger Publishing, 2005

Refreshing attempt to determine and convey the truth
I did not realize how slanted most of our texts on social subjects, history, and the like had become until I read again this masterpiece that was used 50 years ago to teach American History in my high school. For example, the authors endeavor to ferret out the causes of the Civil War and make clear the number of socioeconomic factors that were involved in the two entirely different ways of life ...

Earth horizon,: Autobiography,

Houghton Mifflin Company, 1932

This is a primary source for feminists
I ordered this book after being assigned excerpts from it in a literature class. The excerpts changed my life. The book was different, but even better than the little bits I had read. It's about the turn of the last century from a woman's perspective. It gave some insights on early feminism and the suffragettes that I had not expected, which were fascinating. I love how she simply tells ...

Reload: Rethinking Women + Cyberculture

The MIT Press, 2002

Women, Cyborgs, and Cyberculture
Whether you are merely intrigued by how women are represented in cyberculture, or doing serious research on how women are being affected by technology, this book is a great place to start. Not only does it provide a wide-ranging anthology of the best writing on the subject, including an amazing bibliography (I love bibliographies), but it also includes a number of excerpts from science fiction ...

The Textbook of Acupuncture Therapy
This is the first truly comprehensive textbook of Chinese acupuncture in the English language. The author, who practices acupuncture and osteopathy, describes in a clear and straightforward manner the complete range of acupuncture techniques, with anatomical references to the structure of the human body. Dr. Austin presents through text and many detailed illustrations the precise locations ...

The Ford (1917)

1 review
Mary Austin

Kessinger Publishing, LLC, 2008

triply wonderful work
Our college comp lit professor used to say that a work of fiction will have one main emphasis out of these three: plot, characterization, theme. The Ford, however, has all three aspects equally strong. In it, Mary Austin tells a riveting story, reveals keen observational and descriptive powers vis a vis the many varieties of humankind (noble and less so), and educates the reader in Western land ...

SOCIAL SECURITY HOOD STYLE
This is a book full of short stories... I enjoyed all of them but "LOVE AND FATE ...UNCLE KENNY" it makes you wonder about the saying don't bring no other women around your man. "THE BIG HOUSE WITH THE ISLAND STOVE" lets just say that Claudia "mama Jonesy" dreams came true in the worse way. "THIS CHRISTMAS" let's you know fast money aint good money and how far will you go to take care of ...

Rise of the New Ethics Class: Life After Enron: Not Business As Usual

1 review
Stephen G. Austin, Mary Steelman

Charisma House, 2004

Christian Ethics
This wasn't what I was looking for -- not a book about business ethics, more a puff piece for fundamental christian beliefs. If you already believe it, you might like the book. I found it unsuitable for business.

The Basket Woman: A Book Of Indian Tales (Western Literature Series)

1 review
Mary Austin

University of Nevada Press, 1999

good stories, but a little dated
Originally written in 1904, these tales weave together the lives of the son of homesteaders and a Paiute Indian, the Basket Woman. The stories are straightforward enough, and often incorporate Paiute tales; the author was respectful of Paiute culture and her local environment, so these stories rarely offend our modern sensibilities. Still, these aren't going to grab every kid's attention, ...

Intimate & Beautiful Appraisal of Life In a Harsh Land
The famous American-West landscape photographer, Ansel Adams and friend of M.H.A., said of The Land of Little Rain: "The sharp beauty of The Land of Little Rain is finely etched in the distinguished prose of Mary Austin. Many books and articles have probed the factual aspects of this amazing land, but no writing to my knowledge conveys so much of the spirit of earth and sky, of plants and ...

From the Cover: 15 Memorable Projects for Quilt Lovers

Mary Austin, Quilter's Newsletter Magazine

C&T Publishing, 2004

Disappointing
Quilter's Newsletter has always impressed me with the eye-catching quilts on its covers. However,the patterns inside are typically the more simplilstic, run-of-the-mill design so I was anxious to have access to construction details for some of the more stunning cover quilts. The book did not live up to my expectations. The first 22 pages of the book are devoted to a tedious history of the ...
