Great Crime Story
As a retired Denver Police Sgt, and lifelong Denver resident, I can attest to the accuracy of this book. As always, Dick presents the facts in an interesting, and often humorous way. It is an easy read, and of special interest to crime buffs and locals. Every resident of Denver has heard of, or been affected by the Smaldones. I learned several things I didn't know, and enjoyed the book immensely.

Now I'm Growing Vegetables In Winter In My New GREENHOUSE!
This is so much fun! I didn't even know anyone who owned a greenhouse and now I have a successful one. I have Romaine lettuce, spinach, onions and garlic as well as an assortment of tomatoes and squash, and it's January! It was so nice to go into my greenhouse during the record-breaking Oklahoma Christmas Day Blizzard of 2009 and visit my vegetables, who took it in stride. One think I love ...

The best loss book I read after the death of my son
I read so many books after my oldest son died, scouring libraries for the few they had and trying to decide between the myriad options on the internet, and I can honestly say that this was the most helpful one I read. It was very emotional and difficult to read at times and sometimes I had to put it down and come back to it later- sometimes after half an hour, other times after weeks, but I was ...

Wonderful book!

I am working with state park naturalist interns this summer and as I read, I kept thinking, "They need to read this book". It helped to understand the population one is dealing with, things ...

Dr. Linwood "Little Bear" Custalow, Angela L. Daniel "Silver Star"

Fulcrum Publishing, 2007

A Must-Read for 2007
This is a very important story that should be read by as many people as possible. It is essential that we recognize the value of oral history--and the other side of history that is presented here. We generally know so little about the native people who interacted with the English settlers of Jamestown--their beliefs, their way of life, and their perspective. We are very fortunate that Dr. ...

A book to savor
Wilma Mankiller, along with a distinguished and talented cast of other Indian women, have created a book to savor in Every Day is a Good Day. Their highly individual perspectives on spirituality, history, culture, and womanhood should appeal to men as well as women and people of all cultures. The book dispels a number of myths long held by non-Indians who may be well-meaning but poorly informed. ...

A 'Must Have' for Interpreters
This fun-to-read, chock-full of useful ideas book should be in any Interpreter's library. In fact, if I could only buy one book for my interpretive library, this would be it. Several rangers I know (inc. myself) refer to this book as 'the Bible'. This was the book I chose for the required textbook for the Interpretive training course for docents at the Desert Botanical Garden. The chapters are ...

John W. Suthers

Fulcrum Publishing, 2008

Informative and engaging
This book is very informative and an easy read. Suthers illustrates his arguments with stories that engage the reader whether he is talking about the seven deadly sins or alternative sentencing. The chapter "Calls for Reform" is especially useful in understanding the challenges of the criminal justice system.
