Probably the best Surveillance book on Amazon.com
I come from a Policing and surveillance background and bought this book because I am going into security training including for surveillance and close protection. I bought this book plus "Surveillance Counter-Measures - A serious guide to detecting, evading and eluding threats to personal privacy" and "Secrets of Surveillance - A Professionals guide to tailing subjects by vehicle, foot, airplane ...

Changed his life and mine
I read Jenkins' book 20+ ears ago. I also had the chance to meet him. I can, honestly say that this book changed my life. He made me so curious about places I'd never seen that my native Ohio seemed pretty small. I worked toward an international career and ended up living in Europe for six years and traveling all over Asia. This is a pretty wonderful world with a lot of wonderful people. Thanks ...

Sounds True, 2007

Great 2012 Book
I enjoyed this more than any other book written on the subject! To me the author appeard to be very well studied on the subject with great insight of a more realistic view, but yet a very profound spiritual perspective. This book resonated with my own beliefs about 2012. It truly gives hope for a new and positive outcome instead of the doom/gloom in all other books I have read in the past. Good ...

Intriguing and Inspiring
Not only did I learn a lot about these womens 'real' life but even more interesting was the point of view the soul takes on once life is over and there a very different "reality" is uncovered. I very much enjoyed the deep insights from a soul perspective, a truth that resonates deeply and has the power to change one's way of perceiving life.

A Critical Step for a Performance-Driven Organization
This book becomes more relevant every year! For organizations that want responsible employees, it challenges leadership to consider the assumptions that drive traditional HR performance appraisal processes - most importantly those arising from the common `parental' or `patriarchy' model of leadership and organizational development. In this research-based analysis of the multiple purposes of ...

GREAT FOLLOW UP TO A GREAT BOOK
Quite inspiring, interesting story, well written. I enjoyed the author's first book and did enjoy this one as well. The author's observations were excellent, both of places and the people both meet. I did read this book some time ago and will quite likely read it again soon. This is a good one to add to your collection. I wonder if Peter and barbara are still married??? Anyway, good job and ...

Surf Review And Report Rating: Greatest Contemporary Alaska Adventure
I have thus far reviewed more than 100 books. Of the 112, this is only the third audible book review I have thus far posted. That should tell you this book is special - it joins my review of Stephen King's On Writing and T.E. Lawrence's Seven Pillars of Wisdom as the best in its class. At surfreviewandreport dot com I will name this book as the 2006 Audio Book Extraordinaire - Bill Anderson. ...

A Thousand-Mile Walk to the Gulf

John Muir

Mariner Books, 1998

John Muir is really underrated as a writer
The title sums up quite a bit of the review for me. Not only was he a brilliant naturalist and visionary, but he was a better than decent science and adventure writer. This book, thousand mile walk to the gulf, is from Muir's younger days when he basically dropped out and went exploring. He walked from Wisconsin to the gulf, shortly after the war, and literally slept wherever. Hedges, roadsides, ...

New Year's Day, 2003
This review is for ""Along the Edge of America" by Peter Jenkins, which I've recently finished reading. I want this book review to serve also as my tribute to a very good writer. I still have my paperback copies of "A Walk Across America" published in 1979 and "The Walk West", circa 198l. Somewhat faded and yellowed, but treasured. These books have been unforgettable to me. The late 70's and ...

Walker Art Center, 1999

A Review: One man show and tell
This beautiful publication makes you feel fortunate to live in an era when hardbound books filled with juicy pictures printed on quality paper stock are still here for the wonder of our minds and hands. For some reason the multifaceted brilliant artist Bruce Conner is not very well known outside rarefied circles of experimental film-o-philes or assemblage art fans, and this book should go a ...

Inside Peter and Barbara
This book gives you the inside look on how The Walk Across America changed Barbara and Peter. They talk about the people they met and how their lives were influenced by the people and how they influenced the lives of the people they met. They take you at different points of the walk and share some personal details that will bewilder you or just respect their drive to finish the walk. If you ...

The Peter Matthiessen Reader

Peter Matthiessen

Vintage, 2000

A wonderful collection by the modern Thoreau
This is a book any nature lover should pick up. I'd heard Matthiessen's name but sadly hadn't read any of his work until now, and what a great collection this is to start off with. Matthiessen writes about the world around us vividly, lyrically and eloquently, without getting TOO florid and new-agey as some nature writers tend to do. He travels the world in this collection spanning his career, ...

Life-changing, answers questions I've had my whole life!!!
Oh my gosh! This book is absolutely amazing. Purely a gift from God. It is the most magnificent book I have read in a year. It is one of those that you just can't put down. It is unique from anything I have ever read, and rivals "Jesus Speaks." Most importantly, this book finally answers the question we all carry with us our whole lives: "WHY DO BAD THINGS HAPPEN TO GOOD PEOPLE?" I ...

How can I explain my love for this book? Having read it twice it is now a part of my life. I have underlined all the sentences which are so meaningful. I cannot loan my precious copy so buy more copies for my friends. Thank you, Peter Jenkins. I am almost seventy years young and now I am buying every one of your books from Amazon. Soul Food......

A transformational perspective on healing and prayer
This is a wonderful book that resonated deeply within me and has left me feeling a deep inner peace. The book beautifully explains about the journey of the soul and the causes and purpose of illness and dis-ease, enabling the reader to gain a new perspective on their own ability to heal themselves. The information on how the soul can heal itself is remarkable and I feel everyone would benefit ...
