Tina's Workout Philosophy Saved My Life
When I first met Tina twelve years ago, I was in terrible shape, couldn't run 50 yards without being totally out of breath and hated running and working out. I disliked musty boring gyms and did not exercise. Thanks to Tina's amazing teachings, attitude, inspiration and outdoor orientation -- all embodied in her amazing and excellent book -- now I am in the best shape of my life and feel like I ...

A beautiful and informative book
I took Susan Neider's wonderful Color Country on our family's recent trip out west. We had never been there before, and traveling with Ms. Neider's book was like having our own personal tour guide. She tells you where all the "not to be missed" spots are in each park, and even the best time to see them. Then she provides great maps that make it foolproof to get there. We were never lost even ...

Great Book.....Especially For Beginners
If you search out my reviews you will see that I have written up opinions on more than a dozen outdoor cookbooks. Cooking around an open fire, especially one pot dinners, has been a life long passion of mine. Some of the best meals I will ever come to remember have been created over an open fire on a hike or camping trip in years past. It has been my experience that most campfire cookbooks are ...

Timm shows us Singletrack Heaven
I'll admit that I'm biased, just like an earlier reviewer, because I've ridden with and consider Timm a friend. However, I've got to take issue with a reviewer who lightly criticized this book as being lacking for a "newbie flatlander." In his Introduction, Timm makes no bones about the fact that "This book is about singletrack: twisty hardpack, slaloming through trees and roots and rocks, ...

Reveals a wealth of Information unattainable before
This book offers easy to read maps and drawings with a personal touch not seen in other guides of this type. A wealth of information has been gathered and revealed within the text. This just one of a series of books that has a unique handcrafted touch were value will increase with time. In Front Range Bouldering texts the author has obviously taken the time to walk around and observe each ...

Good book with how to on up to date components
This book should be the current leader in mountain bike maintenance because it shows how to maintain the components on newer mountain bikes. This book shows how to maintain the current Shimano and SRAM drive components, hydraulic breaks and front and rear shock maintenance. I like Zinn and the Art of Mountain Bike Maintenance because of it's thoroughness however, as time will do to all books ...

These are all native plants
I felt I should comment on one part of Rissa's review. She mentions that Queen Anne's lace is not in this book, and feels this is a detriment. On the contrary, this is one of the best features of the book: it contains only NATIVE plants, and not many of the invasive, non-native weeds, like Queen Anne's lace, which are very difficult to control in prairies. If you don't see a common plant in this ...

Great book for plant identification
We live in South Central Iowa and are letting our hay and pasture farm revert to praire. It is surprising how many original plants will recover if given a chance. We use this book to identify plants we have never noticed before since their numbers were so low and are now, after four years, becoming commen. This book has clear pictures and discriptions that have allowed us to identify our ...
