The book was a huge undertaking and I'll forgive a few errors, like the statement that American pine nuts (pinon nuts) are too small to bother with and inferior to the larger Chinese variety. Most pine nuts I see in the store are smaller than the average pinon nut. If you can find fresh pinon nuts, they are one of the best things to eat(.)

Every pioneer will come back with some inaccurate impressions. I salute the author, and regret that the book has gone out of print. Find it. Read it.

While the book is a must have for beginners, even most veteran gamblers would find this book quite beneficial. Mr. Andersen begins his book with the most basic of wagering information and progresses into more exotic wagers which would provide much needeed insight to all but the most seasoned gamblers.

There is an entire section devoted to wagering tables. I have found this to be quite indispensible while at the track trying to calculate how much a particular exotic bet will cost. I never go out to the track without this "tool".

The only complaint that I had with this book initially, was that I thought it was a greyhound handicapping book. It covers horses as well as greyhounds and definately is NOT a handicapping book. With that stated, I was very pleasantly surprised at all the wonderful information contained in this book and am happy to have made this particular "mistake". I would definately recommend this book to wagerers at any level.

Walking the Relinquished Path is an emotionally charged and freshly candid journey into a woman's life as she struggles with her family and herself to discover the Native American roots her grandfather turned his back on in order to survive in the white man's world.

What is a "Real Indian?" Michelle asks. So many people who have Indian blood in their veins will never know who their people are or what their heritage is. So many more don't have the necessary paperwork to gain the recognition they believe they need in order to claim their birthright.

Michelle is forced to confront centuries of shame, fear and conditioning created by her family, government polices, religious organizations and even Indian people themselves in order to answer the all important question, "Who am I?" and finally find the strength to say,"I know who I am!"

Truly inspirational, Walking the Relinquished Path dares not only to explore the questions that few venture to speak aloud, but also to find the answers buried beneath.
