  • Deep Water: The Epic Struggle over Dams, Displaced People, and the Environment
    • Rated 3 stars

    “ Deep Water The Epic Struggle over Dams Displaced People and the Environment Jacques Leslie

    3 stars

    Though I love books that deal with ecology and how people get displaced when governments plan big dams and government agencies, this one was very hard to follow. It was a slow start, and hard to get into it once you stopped and came back to it. It had the potential of behing very good, but because it was slow and disorganized, it earned 3 stars from me.”

  • Aftermath, Inc.: Cleaning Up After CSI Goes Home
    • Rated 4 stars

    “ Aftermath, Inc Cleaning up After CSI Goes Home Gil Reavill

    4 stars

    Who cleans up a crime scene? You would think the cops or the morticians, but up until a few years ago there wasn't any particular agency that did it. There are now several independant agencies, one called Aftermath, who bids on the horrible job of cleaning crime scenes. Crime scenes must be cleaned up properly due to biohazards and blood. This book explains alot of things I never knew or realized.”

  • A Walk in the Woods
    • Rated 4 stars

    “ A Walk in the Woods Bill Bryson

    4 stars

    Bill Bryson and an old friend Stephen Katz, who is extremely out of shape, decide to take on the Appalachian Trail. Both come with over packed backpacks, and basically the wrong items. Katz throws things over the mountain, some desperatley needed, like food. Katz and Bryson find the trail daunting, but both keep up meeting interesting people, and staying in shelters. In describing the National Parks and how they have closed shelters and are understaffed hits close to home because I work for the NPS. ”

  • I am not sick I don't need help
    • Rated 4 stars

    “ I Am Not Sick I Don't Need Help! Xavier Amador

    4 stars

    This book was written for people who have family members of mentally ill patients who have refused medication or stopped taking medication when they feel better. I am the person who has stopped medication in the past, just because I felt better (though I know I can't do that now) so reading this was an interesting insight on how other people felt dealing with me. ”

  • Gambit
    • Rated 2 stars

    “ Gambit Karna Small Bodman

    2 stars

    This book is listed as a thriller, but it was missing alot of the 'thrills' in my opinion. Planes are exploding out of the sky for no apparent reasons. A scientist is called into help, who the single vice president immediatley takes a like to, but then you throw in a Military Col. who works for the Vice President and has had a love affair with the scientist, Dr. Cammy Talbot. And her life is threatened, including a plane she changed her mind about being on exploding, with no clear reason who the spy was for the people doing it.”

  • Fates Worse Than Death
    • Rated 5 stars

    “ Fates Worse Than Death Kurt Vonnegut

    5 stars

    Kurt Vonnegut wrote this book in 1990, and took a hilarious look at life in his lifetime. He gives assessments of how he sees life, and it definatley does not disappoint. He writes as if you are having a conversation with him, and are right in the room with him.”

  • Conservation Refugees: The Hundred-Year Conflict between Global Conservation and Native Peoples
    • Rated 5 stars

    “ Conservation Refugees: The Hundred Year Conflict Between Global Conservation and Native Peoples Mark Dowie

    5 stars

    Mark Dowie does an outstanding job looking at National Parks and Wildlife Refuges across the world and how the native people were all but irradicated to make 'travel' areas. He starts with describing Yellowstone and how the native people were forced out to make a National Park. Then he goes all the way to Africa and modern days, and takes a look at the same thing happening there.”

  • Thank You for Smoking: A Novel
    • Rated 3 stars

    “ Thank You For Smoking Christopher Buckley

    3 stars

    Nick Naylor is a spokesman for the Academy of Tobacco Studies, basically a mouthpiece for the cigarette companies. He's very good at his job, so maybe that's the reason the FBI and anti tobacco terrorists are targetting him. It's a bit slow in the beginning, which is why I gave it 3 stars.”
