This book is perfect if you don't know where to go on Mt Tam's 200 miles of trails but have always wanted to explore the mountain. The trail summaries, "getting there" instructions and maps, as well as the actual trail maps are easy and informative. The trail ratings (for running and hiking) are useful as well. This book makes a great gift.

Kay Macpherson, born in Britain and trained as a physiotherapist, devoted most of her life to working with women and for women. An international figure, she was most active in Canada. In the fight for peace, she fought governments and the armaments industry. She was president of the National Action Committee on the Status of Women, lobbying for government action on a Royal Commission Report. She campaigned for office as a feminist and a socialist. She served as a Director of the Canadian Civil Liberties Association. When invited to address the UN, she had to fight to be allowed into the USA. Known for her unbounded energy, the title accurately describes her style. Her anecdotes serve as a "who's who" of women leaders, in numerous causes and most continents. Above all they illustrate the strength of humour which sustained women who took on entrenched (and frequently arrogant) power.

This book is a very one sidded view of negative news paper and other articles collected that sheds only a bad light on this breed of dog. This type of "journalism" is very dangerous.

Eh gads! I hope these people really dont consider themselves authors after this!

All this book contains are abbreviated and one sided news reports on incidents involving pit bulls. There is no author, no opinion, no photogaphs and no real substance to this book. It seems to have been created to just be a collection of dry straight forward abstracts and can only be viewed as a reference for that. Absolutely uninteresting.
