Hal B. Rager

I'm a Professional Archaeologist (RPA), my research interests include the prehistory of western North America, Pleistocene/Holocene climate reconstruction and the peopling of the New World. I'm a geek of several trades... For example, I use GPS, GIS and computers way too much.

I read a lot, mostly non-fiction and science-fiction, though... more »

    Hi Hal - I was wondering if you have seen anything recently anything about on the North American impact event that happend 13,000 years ago that left a diamond dust layer in the soil. I read about it earlier this year but nothing since. I am wondering if an impact site has been identified?

    Hi Hal, Imagine my surprise when I found you on our Shelfari home page. We went to high school together and hung with the same bunch a lot. I'm Susan (Park) and I work for Andrews McMeel as the online marketing person. Evidently you own 35 books we publish. Looks like Trudeau and Mutts mainly. How are you? Small world!

    Hi, I read both of the Christopher Alexander books, cover to cover. They were so well-written that they read like novels, I think. Wonderful and authoritative, perhaps even to a fault, no? All those statements. But then, there's no other books quite cover what he did right?

    Sir, you reminded me of so many volumes that slipped my mind, the Trungpa about Mahayana buddhism foremost. I am intrigued to see which archaeology books you own, I have a small collection of stuff on field methods and such, I was an anthropology major and worked at a field school for a summer.

    Heh. Although I'm not at all surprised that we have 166 books in common, I am sort of surprised that Floyd Clymer's book on historical steam engines is one of them. It's the first book I can remember actually owning. I saw it in a Sears or Pennys catalog back in the mid-to-late 1960s and asked for it for Christmas. I can remember poring over it again and again and again. Having been brought up on a working farm - although we gave that up in around 1971 or so - I was fascinated by farm machinery, and the bigger the better. Clymer's book has no shortage of bloody huge examples of steam engines, and I can still just sit and look at it for hours. Perhaps I should sift through my list and create a new "highly personal" category for the other books that contain such vivid and marvelous memories, although my "favorites" list probably would overlap that quite a bit albeit not completely.
