History of the National Park Service
History of the National Park Service told first hand by three former Directors of the National Park Service.

Horace M. Albright who started with the Interior Department in 1913 and was Director of the National Park Service from 1929 to 1933.

Russell E. Dickenson who started with the National Park Service as a ranger in 1946 and was Director from 1980 to 1985.

William Penn Mott Jr who started with the National Park Service in 1933 and became Director in 1985.

Interesting reading from the first hand accounts of these three former Directors on the history of the National Park Service from the beginning to 1987.

This is a large format (9 x 12) soft bound book loaded with beautiful color photographs of the National Parks, Monuments and Historic Sites.

This is a great value for the money.

Great book to take along!
Great book to carry along on your weekend camping trip! Directions for getting there, things to do, what's nearby, and which campsite is the best for whatever you like to do. Phone numbers for advance reservations, and (did I mention!) campsite numbers so you know what to ask for! We carry it along and add our own campsite comments for return trips. Any one who camps the state parks of Pennsylvania will not be disappointed with this book!


Strategic Analysis for Venture Evaluations: The Save Approach to Business Decisions
Published in Hardcover by Van Nostrand Reinhold (1997)
Authors: William R. Park and J. B. Maillie
Amazon base price: $33.95
Used price: $31.99
Average review score:

Highly recommended for all project managers!
This is an excellent guide-book for project managers. It contains very highly organised techniques for measuring the success potential of virtually any project decision.

It been written by two eminently qualified authors - one, trained as an engineer & the other, an architect, but both had worked as principal economists & management consultants & involved in myriad project feasibility studies & new venture evaluations.

Of all the books I have in my personal library over the years that relate to project feasibility studies & new venture evaluations, this one is my personal favourite. It is also the most comprehensive & yet indepth! It has assisted my professional work while I was working in the corporate world.

In a nut shell, this book has a very practical, well-structured & clearly-defined numerical rating system, ranging from rough processing to full evaluation, to help you in your exploration & evaluation, covering:

four (4) broad facets, namely:

- your product/service/activity (in terms of prospective performance, salability, defensibility);
- yourself or your company (in terms of personal traits & relative strengths/weaknesses);
- your environment (in terms of possible effects);
- your venture (in terms of investment considerations & strategic possibilities;

These are broken down into:

- thirteen (13) general aspects;

These are further broken down into:

- sixty nine (69) individual factors;

The authors coin the acronym 'SAVE' (hence the book title, Strategic Analysis Venture Evaluation) to sum up their wonderful model. The model approach will definitely save you from potential failure.

Packed with forms, checklists, questions, it will compel your careful attention to all the factors involved in a new venture, thus preventing dangerous blindspots. It also help to prevent over-valueing a few dominant factors that tend to distort decision/judgement.

As the authors contend in the inside cover of this book: "This is the only book that provide you with immediate answers to such complex questions as, How attractive is this proposed venture, to this company, organisation or individual, at this time, and under this set of conditions."

I highly recommend this book to all project managers!

The Real Story of Being Old
This author gives you the real insight to being 80, it was a fast moving book that held your interest all the way through, I could not put the book down. It is interesting that the author is not the age of the main character but yet understands the life of this character extremely well. On a serious note, is there anyway to stop the aging and not be part of the result. However, we know what that means and the alternative is not what I want to I guess I'll be part of the result. Thanks to this author for such a warm, humorous, loving depiction of old age. I strongly recomment this book to any and all. --Joseph Ostraw

All You Need
This is such a great book. I originally got it for a Park Resource Management class while pursuing my Master's degree. This is definitely one of those books that you hang on to after you finish the class.

Wildland Recreation has so many different resources. There are pictures, charts, graphs, diagrams, and my favorite- case studies and examples of research. It is a great reference to use when writing papers or doing other research, because you can go look up the study. Not only that, but at the end of each chapter, all the references are provided, making it easy to search for what you need outside of this book.

Wildland Recreation is well written and understandable. The information is clear and straightforward, easy to comprehend. The chapters and sections are nicely divided into categories. This is a great book for anyone interested in any aspect of wildland management.
