Introduction to Choctaw
Published in Ring-bound by Various Indian Peoples Publishing, Inc. (1993)
Authors: Gregg Howard, Charley Jones, and Rick Eby
Amazon base price: $49.95
Average review score:

Needs Revision
This book needs to be edited and revised so that the language presented flows on a smoother gradient from simple to complex. It begins very simply and ends with a story containing a great deal of grammatical complexity, most of which has not been explained or presented. Also, it is impossible with the data given in the course to do some of the exercises. I found it very frustrating. Its greatest feature, however, is Charley Jones as a native speaker.

Learn the sounds
This is a great way to learn how the sounds of the language should be. One of the hard points about the language is trying to understand how the words should sound or be pronounced like. This tape helps you in learning the language and speaking it correctly. If you want to learn more about the language, this is the tape series you need.

Seekers of the Spring: A History of Carlsbad
This title popped up under a search for books about Carlsbad, NM. Unfortunately for me, I ordered the book and found that it was a history of Carlsbad, CA. If it's a book on the history of Carlsbad, CA that you're looking for I'd recommend it. I only wish that it was what I was looking for.

Great Story, Terrible Book
"Awkward" and "provincial" wrote the NY Times reviewer, and I can't disagree. To get an idea of the biographer's perspective on Kinsey, consider that he refers to an interest in S/M as "peculiar," and closes by predicting that had the atheistic Kinsey lived to see the age of AIDS, he would have seen AIDS as the work of a "wrathful God."

Thorough, biassed and both scientifically and sexually naive
James Jones's biography of Alfred c Kinsey is a valuable antidote to the hagiographies and demonologies published so far. Jones presents the nastier sides of his subject's personality and exposes his strategically concealed sexual practices. However, Jones presents Kinsey as a pervert and charlatan, failing to understand the moral and scientific rationales for Kinsey's approach to sex research and thus totally misrepresents both the man and his achievement. Jones's last-page sop to Kinsey's greatness seems to be a cowardly after-thought to a bilious, splenetic and angry book.

A better choice
I would recomend reading Judith Reismman's new book: Kinsey: Crimes and Consequences.

The Kinsey Institute revealed that Kinsey used pedophiles to document orgasms in hundreds of boys and girls as young a 5 months old. One of his favorites reported abusing at least 800 children. These

Kinsey reclassified prostitutes as married woman when he could not find enough woman willing to submit to his questionnaire. He used child molesters, rapists, homosexuals, prostitutes,sadists, masochists, etc. to represent the average American.

Kinsey would not allow anyone, even a janitor to work for him unless they submitted to a sexual history questionnaire. When applicants did not agree that adultery, pre-marital sex, and sex with animals was normal, he told them they would not fit in with his staff.

The Rockafeller Foundation's records reveal that Kinsey's associates were unqualified. Not only were the histories unscientifically administered but the statistics were proven unreliable and inacurate.

If you want to know the full truth of the Kinsey deception -- buy Reisman's well documented book.

Totally worthless
Save your money. There is nothing new in this book. You can learn as much by reading the directions that come with the game, then playing the game a few times.

Free Unofficial Guide Is Better!
This official guide rehashes most of the information included in the game manual. It does include some mechanics (like how scores are calculated) and strategies for the individual scenarios.

If you want winning strategies that can be applied to most cases, download the very good Unofficial Tropico Strategy Guide from gamespot.com

This book was a must for me!
This book is a great help to the beginner and long-time player alike. I found great information, writing clearly and easy to understand. Helped give me the confidence to try some of the hardest scenarios!
