Toward the end of his life, Montana poet Richard Hugo wrote a detective/mystery novel that features a detective who is the antithesis of the tough, clipped speaking, hard drinking, noir detective so common in the American detective story. Al "Mush Heart" Barnes is a loveable, poetic, common man, a man with an eye for a good looking woman and a skill for solving murders. Barnes has moved to Plains, Montana in his retirement from the Seattle Police Department, and works as a Deputy Sheriff. Suddenly, two men are murdered by axe and Barnes' detective work takes him to Kooskia, Kamiah, and Orofino on Idaho's Clearwater River and then to the Portland metropolitan area, where he uncovers truths about an old murder, new murders, and some of his close friends. If you happen to enjoy Richard Hugo's poetry, his unmistakeable voice drives this novel and his lyrical writing and philosophical observations make this book an aesthetic delight.

I FOUND THIS TO BE A VERY INERESTING AND EXCITING BOOK JUST WHEN YOU TOUGHT YOU HAD GOTTEN THROUGHT THE EXCITING PARTS SOMETIME UNEXPECTED HAPPENED IT CERTAIN WAS A GREAT BOOK . I'M NOT A BIG READER OF BOOKS BUT I COULDN'T PUT THIS ONE DOWN TIL I FINSHED IT DON'T LET THE SUMMARY ON THE BACK COVER FOOL YOU

Everything you need to know on Engineering an Earth Constructed House. The book does have a few B&W photo's of Earth Buildings but could use allot more for my taste. It should probably be updated with a new addition that includes information on Nader Khalili's book 'Ceramic Houses & Earth Architecture'

I found this clearly written book to be helpful and even sort of interesting to read. It covers various aspects of setting up a business that uses a website and also setting up the website as well. (I didn't realize that many legal issues could affect your website, such as copyright issues and other publishing laws.) It also provides some fundamentals about contract law and system development you need to know in order to put a website in place. It is a good practical mix of legal and business advice. The sections on how to go about actually building your site, what functions and what content should be on it, are informative and full of issues that I would not have thought of on my own. The book is in a handbook format, and I will probably also refer to it with various questions as I go forward with the process. It also has forms in the back that I can fill in to create a budget. My business is a start-up but it seems like this book would be helpful for anyone who needs to know the legal and practical issues surrounding their business's website.

Who is translating the creation myth for the cats of Venice while on a search for Solomon's magic jewel? It can only be Corto Maltese!

Corto Maltese, Hugo Pratt's most famous character, is a picaresque rogue roving the world of the early 20th century in a series of 1970's-era comic strips. This adventure is a strange, almost dreamlike intrigue involving Italian Fascists, Theosophists, and Masons, in a search for a gem hidden by the infamous Baron Corvo. As usual Pratt demonstrates incredible command of characterization, plotting, and history in the very confined space of a graphic novel.

Long before the beat movement or the hippies comes such a beautiful work from one of the most honest and daring individuals to ever live and then be forgotten in this world. The title says it best. Hugo Ball is probably the most important guide (in my life). You should read this and see if any of it rubs off on you.

Green Soldiers has two discrete sections. The first, and most powerful, has poems about the World Wars that evoke the poetry of Wilfred Owen. Bensko is probably the only writer besides Stephen Crane who can create a vivid, intense atmosphere of a war without having had first-hand experience. The poems in the second section are about everyday topics--a girl in the park, children at a planetarium--but with interesting psychological twists. The book's final poem, "The Night-Blooming Cactus," is a meditation on lost love, and a strong ending to an excellent collection. Green Soldiers is the one poetry book I never ever lend to friends because it's out of print and I simply have to have it to read again and again.

my thoughts of this wonderful warm story is that what a incrediably woman Jane must be. We had this book as children and was the one that was favoured by all in our family. Its is a story of feeling and close bond of her and her family. To put yourself and family out with nature and the wild bush must be invigourating. I am only sorry that my children have never felt what her son did. It is a story of great respect and courage, I congratulate you Jane.

This book has everything you could even want and it comes w/ a great resource CD that is packed with great tools and useful little programs. If you are interested in knowing everything about hacking buy this BOOK!!!
