1500 California Place Names: Their Origin and Meaning, A Revised version of 1000 California Place ... 2 reviews
William Bright
University of California Press, 1998
Fun Book for California Buffs
This book is not for the serious researcher, but is tremendously interesting for those curious about the sometimes zany history of California's place names. Most entries include an interesting tangle of history and culture and the usual mispronunciation of Native American names by early white settlers. Its a fun book that would make a great stocking stuffer and should brought along on any ...

Comprehensive Manual of Taping & Wrapping Techniques 1 review
Kenneth E. Bright, William R. Whitehill
Cramer Products Inc, 1996
The Comprehensive Manual of Taping and Wrapping Techniques
This manual gives good visual and written description of the taping procedures. It is thorough in the descriptions however a bit wordy at times. Overall I find this book a great resource for any coach, trainer or person going into either field to use as a college resource.

Excalibur's Defeat6 reviews
Stephen Bright, Terry Sherrell
Black Orchid Publishing, 1998
Good reading for mystery fans
Intriguing plot. How do you bring the "bad guy" down when he is the leader of the land. Great mystery. New twist on usage "drug money". The characters are well developed and the tale is credible. As the reader, I was waiting for Dana and Kasi to get together and hoping for a true romance for Mary, Kasi's secretary. The hide-and-seek scenes were excellent and I loved the touch of ...

The World's Writing Systems13 reviews
Oxford University Press, USA, 1996
Rare Excellence
The "World's Writing Systems" is a rare event for in one tome it covers all the ways of writing known to us at present. As a professional graphologist this is an absolute boon not only for what it is but because it is also on special offer. While there are other tomes of similar ilk and implication this work has no equal. Until now the study of written language has had no clearly defined ...

Up and Down California in 1860-1864: The Journal of William H. Brewer, Fourth Edition, with Maps9 reviews
William H. Brewer
University of California Press, 2003
A Riveting Glimpse of the California That Was
I bought this book last summer in Lee Vining CA while on a trip through the Eastern Sierra and after reading it found myself looking at California with new eyes.
One reviewer said that even those who are not Californians will enjoy this book. True enough, but I think that the reader who has a detailed knowledge of the geography of the state will come away from Up And Down California In ...

A Coyote Reader 5 reviews
William Bright
Univ of California Pr, 1992
Fabulous anthology
This is one of the first anthologies I've come across which covers all the aspects of Coyote's character, from his role as creator to his raunchy, trickster persona. Too many people tend to water the Coyote tales down, which is unfortunate, as it reduces a very powerful figure to a Brer Rabbit comic character. Although most people know Coyote as a trickster, this anthology illustrates how ...

Colorado Place Names1 review
Johnson Books, 1993
Fun book if your into history
This is a great little book for those of you who like little bits of history. This book provides a short summary of the history or interesting facts of places in colorado. If you are into geneology you learn that a town or county may not have the same name today that it did 90 years ago. That complicates your search. This book lists many of those towns and gives you their current and old ...
