Both of us are readers, golfers and travelers. I photograph flowers, small critters and old barns, and am quite into birdng. I read just about anything, but enjoy Biography and Fantasy the most. We have two dogs and 3 or 10 cats. We spend much time with our four Grandsons. I paint (not well) and write (Animal Care Articles and really bad poetry). We are simi-retired and travel a great deal. Conversation with friends, family and complete strangers is a large part of our lives. We have lived in Turkey, Thailand, Texas, Indiana, New Mexico, Idaho, Missouri, Florida, Mississippi and points in-be-tween, covering most of the United States. I love recieving emails and will discuss anything with anyone (as long as your nice about it). Am and have been involved with our local library association and humane society. If you agree or disagree with any of my reviews, for goodness sakes email me and let me know...lets talk about it. I also am more than happy to do reviews if interested in the genre or subject. Feel free to e-mail me.

I've read quite a number of books written by through hikers of the Appalachian Trail, Pacific Crest Trail and others. Each has shared the hiker's unique experiences, given a look as to what is inside them and shared with us their overall adventures. To be honest, I have yet to read one of these books that I did not like. There are as many reasons for taking this journey as there are hikers and all are different. Folks come from different walks of life, are of different ages and each have their highs and lows as they travel. I love hiking. I would love to attempt my own through hike but much to my chagrin I find that now that I have the money and the time to attempt such a… Read more

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
I have to admit that I had my doubts about this book at first but since I have a grandson who will soon be leaving for Army basic training, I figured why not...it can't hurt. I must say that I was pleasantly surprised with the information I found in this book. (Yes, I did read the thing before I passed it on to him). It also interested me because of the fact that it will be 50 years this coming June that I entered basic training myself and I was sort of curious to see how things had changed and if so, how much. Now it must be remember by anyone reading this work who is planning to go through the process that each individuals experience in basic training, or boot camp will be a… Read more

This book has been around for quite some time now. I bought my copy back around 1971. There seems to be some confusion on this one now; a matter I have not yet been able to work out. The book being reviewed here is a 1969 edition. There are other editions of this work which was first published in 1967 and yet again in 1983. The edition being reviewed here has Clara May Hankins as one of the co-authors. Clara May Hankins is the Illustrator, not the author. The co-authors of this work and the other editions was Richard C. Murphy and William E. Meyer. Anyway... I realize that there have probably been hundreds of books published concerning tree care since this… Read more
