Scott Reviews

I hiked. I saw. I loved it

During an expedition to the Canadian Rockies, our trails research crew picked up the recent edition of SKI TRAILS by Chris Scott. We found this guidebook to be invaluable for route planning. Mr. Scott's detailed trail notes and local insights were most helpful.

It is a really great book. I could read it 40 times. It is only good if you havent read any of the other ones.

If you are a lover of the office philosophy and observations of Dilbert and the gang then you will love this book. It is truly what the title suggests in that the publisher took three popular Dilbert books and placed them together into one large volume. As always, the biting humor and often accurate portrayal of all things corporate will have you laughing out loud as you realize how absolutely preposterous some of the situations are while also realizing that this sure looks a lot like real life.

Jim Wrenn, author of the Clinton Liebrary Book 2001 Edition at clintonliebrarybook.com gives a rave review to SNL Presents The Clinton Years: "I laughed so hard my throat hurt. It will be banned from all public libraries because no one will be able to read it without laughing out loud. The book presents color pictures and text from SNL skits (about Clinton) in such a way as to elicit just as much laughter as watching the skit on Saturday Night Live."

this is hilarious. I laughed the entire time i read the book.

Scott writes a delighfully interesting tale of a merchant marine's six children as their lives grow complicated through a 30-year span. From the actress to the murderess, the Olympic skater to the author, the story is fascinatingly conceived yet so true to our own experiences of family. Scott has carved a unique masterpiece that I couldn't put down myself. I would recommend this rare classic.

Scott examines a fascinating situation about the six children of a marine merchant and how their lives take different turns throughout a 30-year span of time. The is the muderess, the Olympic skater, the actress, the stuffy businessman, the wandering wife, and of course, the author. Highly interesting in both its material and approach, "So Far, So Good" is wonderfully fascinating, yet built around such common people. I couldn't put the book down, and would recommend anyone read this extremely rare classic!

Wow!!!! This collection includes Gil's Best work as far as I am consered. He includes some of his best works as a poet and as a musican. I think that you can't grasp the suttle nuonces if you just read it once, it forces you to read it many many times. I highly recomend it if you are intrested in politics, race relations, satire or just how the mind of Gil Scotts works.

So Far, So Good and is only getting better. This collection of Gil Scott-Heron song/poems are masterful. Many of his classics are included in this book. If you are just discovering Gil, this book is a must for you. If you have been listening to Gil since the early 70's, then reading this back will only bring back vivid memories. A must have in your collection.

This is a very unique book, that for the first time puts forth a new theory on how a recent global flood as described in the Bible may have occurred, that is both plausible and scientifically sound. The author treats Noah's flood as a scientific mystery story which he then proceeds to solve by examining the clues found in the geological record and human history, building a theory that is in harmony with the biblical record of an earth wide deluge and with what we know about the geology of the earth. In this detailed and well referenced book, common objections to the biblical deluge are examined and answers are found that satisfy both a literal interpretation of scripture and a scientific examination of the facts. This book is compelling as the author proves what many have come to view as mere myth, is actually a historical event well supported by scientific evidence. The author also presents the results of his research on detecting recently deposited micro marine fossils left by the flood in soil samples. Presenting solid Paleoclimatological evidence of the deluge, this book may require rewriting many currently used textbooks. Sure to be considered very controversial, this is a must read for any one interested in geology or the biblical deluge. Written for the general public and the more geologically inclined as well, this book is a seamless merging of a literal reading of Genesis with what geology knows about the earth. 305 pages, 20 B&W illustrations, index.

(Author's book description)- The book "Solving the Mystery of the Biblical Flood" is written from a biblical literal old earth prospective. The theory put forth is that the biblical flood occurred at the end of the Wisconsin Ice Age as the result of comet impacts on the continental ice sheets triggering a large scale release of water and ice into the seas, which resulted in a global rise in sea level that flooded the earth until the isostatic shift in water on the crust caused the land to reemerge. It was the comet impacts that resulted in the reported 40 days of rain and not water from 'above the heavens' as so many have thought. Many difficult to explain loose pieces of evidence from different fields are tied together to form a logical cohesive picture that not only answers how the deluge happened, but also explains other mysteries, such as the Pleistocene extinction event, the disappearance of ice age peoples and culture, and the genetic mismatch between ice age remains and modern populations. Evidence of super floods, the sudden release of very large amounts of melt water and ice are used to help support this theorized chain of events. The pattern of animal extinction and recolonization is used to support that the Pleistocene extinction was caused by a sudden rise in sea level, as is the pattern seen in human migration as well. Glacial erratics found in places where only floating ice could deposit them, and marine animals living in land locked bodies of water are also used to support a recent flood along with a host of other evidence from around the world.

A fair amount of time is also spent on what the flood was not; an old earth is established, YEC flood theories are disproved, a global canopy is shown to be physically impossible and the preflood greenhouse theory is discredited. Once the red herrings are disposed of, the book then proceeds to logically plug together the pieces of real evidence to reveal what happened, the ice age is explained, impact events and their effects are discussed and the Pleistocene extinctions are tied in with the flood. The pieces are assembled in a step by step description of the deluge with supporting evidence for each step, and the geology of the flood is discussed in detail. There is even a fictionalized account about how Noah built the ark and what the flood was like for him and his family. Also presented is the author's research on finding marine diatoms in the Midwest in association with recent glacial deposits. The situation regarding the debate over the flood is summed up and in last chapter the author shows how it is possible to shift fact from fallacy in religious doctrines using the Bible.

This book is THE complete guide to building an intranet. Killer examples and techniques.

Very impressive compendium of Intranet information and the latest HTML techniques

Graham and Scott together have created a very eye-catching look at water in many of its forms. The concrete poems only add to the meaning. It is very well done.

This would be a perfect book to introduce concrete poetry in a classroom environment.

my 8 year old son, who has encouraged and directed this review, thinks this is an excellent book because he loves water, is an avid swimmer and enjoys creative writing. he feels this book has given him a good introduction into modern poetry and has sparked his interest in other books of similar style or theme.

The recipes in this books are creative but simple. I recently took it along on a four day fishing trip to Lake Fontana where I cooked a "Brandy-Peppercorn" venison steak that everyone said was the best venison they had ever eaten! This is a book no outdoor sportsman should be without.

I recently received a copy of The Sporting Chef's Favorite WildGame Recipes and it is a great collection of recipes for all types ofwild game. Published by Arrowhead Classics, Inc., Leysath's book brings a new flavor to wild game. I have personally met Scott and can attest to the great taste his recipes bring to wild game. This is a "must buy" for anyone who hunts or just likes to eat wild game. We can enjoy the healthy benefits of wild game (lower in fat and free of hormones, etc) and also enjoy the flavor. Check it out!

This is one of the most significant books on the nature of consciousness scince the appearence of William James's "Principles of Sychology" and Erwin Schroedinger's "Mind and Matter". Combining the best of classical knowledge of the mind, with the insights of contemporary Nonlinear Science, this book provides a provides a perspective from which matieralism and dualism are no longer contradictory views. For anyone who is in anyway at all interesed in consciousness or any related subjects, this book is an absolute must! Written in fully comprehensible language, it belongs on the bookshelf of all those interested in the subject, newcomers and seasoned veterans alike.
