Too funny for politics.......2007-05-11
All I knew about Kinky Friedman before reading this book was that he was a little known entertainer who ran for Governor of Texas in 2006. "Probably a disgruntled liberal," I thought. I didn't know that Kinky was Jewish, had kinks in his hair, was better known as an author than as a western musician, or that he was much more intelligent than I had imagined. After reading this book I now know a bit more about Friedman and respect him a lot more than I did when I didn't vote for him in 2006. But I'm still not sure what this book is about.
In the beginning, it touches lightly on politics and in the end briefly revisits the subject. In between, it covers a wide range of seemingly unrelated topics in a humorous vein vaguely reminiscent of S. J. Perlman. Friedman can be funny, yet, at the same time, his humor is often profound and sometimes revealing.
I learned a bit about a lot of things "Texan" while reading this book. I learned, for example, how to rig your truck and the slang used by those incarcerated in Texas prisons in their attempt to communicate with one another. I hope I never have to use this particular jargon. I also learned how to tell if you're a real Texan; some of the "firsts" for Texas; the rather tenuous relationship between eagle scouts and mass murderers; why one should stay at the Menger Hotel when in San Antonio; and much more.
So, if you want to learn a bit about Texas or just enjoy reading books by ex-candidates for governor or Texas, this book might be for you. As for Kinky, he appears to be too funny to be successful in politics. Politicians, as everyone knows, stopped being funny a long time ago.
Well Done Kinkster!.......2006-04-06
Well now, Kinky Friedman and I have spent some time now in my bathroom and I have finished the contents of his book "Texas Hold 'Em: etc." It's quite a ride. I literally laughed AND cried and had to skip a couple of parts that were just too repetitous for me (the dictionary part). You can't ask much more from an author than to touch your emotions and lift your heart and he does both very nicely. I must admit that a big drawing card for me to buy this book was that it had drawings by Callahan. They do NOT disappoint. Wonderful. I so hope Kinky wins in Texas and maybe even moves on from there. I am just positive that he would do no more harm than the folks they have in there now if Mr. Delay is any example. Hooray for American politics to have such creatures in it.
This book is retarded.......2005-11-29
A friend who had the same taste in reading as me recommended this book so I bought it. I was in a few spots funny, but more dumb then anything. Save your money.
Kinky really comes into his own with this book!.......2005-10-29
I've been a long time fan of Kinky and read all of his novels.Now, he has gotten away from his 'off the wall' mysteries with their wonderful characters.Kinky is one of the most gifted and entertaining authors around today.He can come up with a one-liner as good as anyone around.Without even a seconds pause,he can make the political correct run for cover.As a Jewish Country singer he has no equal,especially when you realize he comes from New York and is completely at home in Redneck Texas.
Right now he is in the process of runing fot Governor of Texas.One can never tell what the results of an election will be,but somehow I think that worse things could happen than he wins.
In this book he explains many facets of life, as can be seen in some of these quotes,and even gives us some insight into how things will be done under his Governorship.
"The question is whether a candidacy is a joker or whether the current crop of politicans is the joker."
"My platform is to fight the wussification of this great state and bring back the glory of Texas."
"To be elected in Texas one must believe in a Supreme Being."
He also passes on other wisdom;such as:
"You know you're from Texas if you've been married and divorced five times and still have the same in-laws.
"I had the rare distinction of being introduced by the Rev.Jimmy Snow as the first full blooded Jew to appear on The Grand Ole Opry."
"Saddam's a thug with an excellent tailor."
"As old Austinites used to say;"Onward through the fog."
I guarantee ,if you pick up this book;you'll have a hard time putting it down.
You Don't Have to Play Poker to Enjoy This.......2005-09-23
Texas Hold'em is Kinky Friedman at his best. Full of annedotes and commentary. No subject is off limits. I must admit, if you are from Texas (which I am not) you will surely get more laughs then a Yankee. Kinky takes the reader on a variety of rides through his mind, refusing to stop even when the trails become muddy. The book is so good, you will have to reread it just to make sure you got all it. Texas Hold em' is easy to read -- whether on a horse or on a train or sitting in a recliner. Nothing complicated, just a bunch of a essays that make the book very difficult to put down. I hope this isn't the last we've heard from the Kinkster.
Book Description

Over 300 color photos of 181 species of Puerto Rican birds appear in this publication. The English-language text is designed for tourists, students, teachers, and anyone who wants to understand Puerto Rico's natural heritage by learning about its fascinating birds. The species' life histories are written in a non-technical style for the general reader, and include important lessons for conservation of our natural resources. Most common birds of the Virgin Islands and northern Lesser Antilles are also illustrated. The book comes with a CD-ROM with detailed Spanish and English life history accounts and bibliography for 350 species, plus audio clips and over 1,250 photos. The CD-ROM is written in HTML which is easy to read without special installation on a PC or Mac, and makes files accessible for student projects in biology, geography, music and art.

Excelente.......2007-05-13
El libro y el CD son excelentes, sobretodo porque se conecta al internet y uno accesa otros sonidos de aves. Una lástima que el libro en español no incluya el CD, los puertorriqueños leemos y hablamos el español, no entiendo porque el libro en español no pueda incluir el CD con un sonido que es universal : el de los pájaros.
Good Guide.......2006-03-03
I am going to Puerto Rico for a vacation. This book will help me to identify the birds that i might see.
Since it is small it is easy to carry around with you. I think that nature lovers would enjoy it. I give it a hearty recommendation
A Very Good Guide.......2006-02-21
This guide to Puerto Rico's birds is really quite strong and useful, especially when combined with the information on the included CD (which is well organized in both English and Spanish.) Who wouldn't love to just sit at their computer all day and listen to birdsong, at least when they can't be out in the mountains or mangroves of PR?? I found the photographs quite satisfactory for ID purposes (not something to be taken lightly) and the narrative information is very useful.
Just one nit to pick: why is the peregrine falcon described as "a small hawk"?
Perfect Guide when birding in Puerto Rico.......2001-05-31
This is the perfect guide book for birding in Puerto Rico. The photographs, 1340 in all, are brilliant, and the text is detailed and rich in information. The guide itself will easily fit into a pocket or day pack and so when out in the field you will have it at your fingertips.
What's unique about this guide is the excellent CD-Rom that comes with it -- this will help you before you go to know what the birds look like, their calls, their behavior and where you can find them once in Puerto Rico. I used the CD-Rom to check out three of my favorite PR birds and was amazed at the numerous and gorgeous pictures, the superb quality of the audio recordings and the information Oberle has reproduced in this book. For instance, regarding the Puerto Rican Tody (one of the 17 PR endemics covered in this guide as well as over 320 other birds), there were a dozen different pictures of the Tody including fabulous close-ups. The information Oberle gives includes identification, voice with audio, habitat, habits, range, status and conservation, taxonomy and related books and articles about the Tody. The Tody is a tiny forest bird with emerald green upperparts and a bright red bill and throat -- everytime I see one I think of a Christmas tree ornament, they are so cute! Oberle discusses in detail what they eat: katydids, grasshoppers, earwings and dragonflies, and discusses as well their foraging techniques. Because Oberle goes into such great detail about ID and habitat/habits, I think this is the best guide to enable one to actually find the birds once in PR.
I also checked out the PR Woodpecker and found those pictures, audio and habitat/habits information just as extensive as that about the Tody. I learned that the woodpecker's stiff tail feathers helps it to gain balance while chiseling at tree bark to find its favorite insects, including earwings, beetle larvae and ants. I discovered it occasionally eats scorpions and and lizards! Oberle informs the reader that a good place to find the woodpecker is around the parking lot of the El Portal visitor Center at the El Yungue national park.
A third bird that is well covered in both the CD and guide is the Pin-tailed Whydah, which has a most remarkable long tail and perches on wires and branches. I was surprised to learn that the female is like our parasitic cowbird and doesn't build her own nest but drops her eggs in other birds' nests.
Oberle has done a splendid job of bringing together in a compact book all the information and photgraphs of birds that you will need when out in the field. Because he cares so much about these birds and the environment, he also has special sections at the begining of the book on conservation efforts, migratory birds that winter in PR, and the extinction issues that face too many birds and other wildlife today in Puerto Rico and elsewhere.
To anyone going to Puerto Rico who plans to do some birding, I heartily recommend this book and CD-Rom to you.
Puerto Rico's Best Bird Guide.......2001-05-21
This guide is fantastic! It is well organized, easy to use, full of concise, carefully planned information, and absolutely the best bird book I've ever seen. The photos are extremely well done and very helpful. The descriptions are outstanding: accurate, thorough, and interesting. I have many bird-watchers and long time Audubon members staying here at Villas Margarita, not far from the Caribbean National Forest. They all rave about this book and the fine job Mark Oberle did on it. It is worth every penny! Buy it!

The Fly Fisherman's Guide to the Meaning of Life: What a Lifetime on the Water Has Taught Me about Love, Work, Food, Sex, and Getting Up Early (Guides to the Meaning of Life)
ASIN: 1578050499
Release Date: 2001-07-17 |
Amazon.com's Best of 2001
When David James Duncan was growing up in suburban Portland, Oregon, he had no river to call his own, so he would routinely create one by flooding his mother's garden with a hose. He would then revel in his creation until he received the inevitable scolding. The poor kid couldn't help himself: "Running water ... felt as necessary to me as food, sleep, parents, and air," he explains. In time, he exchanged his nozzle for a fly rod and went in search of grander gardens, eventually developing an "interior coho compass" which he has traveled by ever since.
As any reader of The River Why knows, Duncan is a master of the art of writing about fishing--which is also to say life, since the two for him are indelibly linked. But these essays deal with far more than leaky waders and rising trout. Part memoir, part activist treatise, My Story As Told by Water is Duncan's love song to wild places and the creatures which inhabit them. The book's highlight is his powerfully convincing essay "A Prayer for the Salmon's Second Coming," in which he argues that saving salmon is crucial to both man and fish alike: "A 'modern Northwest' that cannot support salmon is unlikely to support 'modern Northwesterners' for long," he writes. In this elegant demand for the removal of four Snake River dams (out of 221 on the Snake/Columbia system), Duncan declares the wild salmon "a holiness, a divine gift," a role model rather than a resource: "Salmon are a light darting not just through water, but through the human mind and heart. Salmon help shield us from fear of death by showing us how to follow our course without fear, and how to give ourselves for the sake of things greater than ourselves."
He also ruminates on the true meanings of "place" and "home"; offers a fable on the 1872 Mining Act, "the most anachronistic and devastating piece of 'corporate welfare' in the world"; and details how Montanans rallied to prevent a giant mining company from extracting gold near the Blackfoot River, the setting of the Norman Maclean classic A River Runs Through It. All in all, My Story As Told by Water is a moving collection by an exquisite writer endowed with wit, compassion, and the rare ability to appeal to both emotion and reason in equal measures. --Shawn Carkonen
Book Description
In this remarkable collection of essays, David James Duncan, award-winning author of The River Why, braids his contemplative, activist, and rhapsodic voices together into a potently distinctive whole, speaking with power and urgency about the vital connections between our water-filled bodies and this water-covered planet.
The twenty-two essays in this collection swirl and eddy around the author's early-forged bond with the rivers of the Pacific Northwest and their endangered native salmon. With a bracing blend of story, logic, science, and humor, Duncan relates mystical, life-changing fishing adventures; draws incisive portraits of the humans and wild creatures who shaped his destiny; attacks the corporate greed and political folly that have brought whole ecosystems to ruin; and meditates on the spiritual and practical necessity of acknowledging our dependence on water in its primal state.
Customer Reviews:
Duncan leaves me speachless..........2006-02-26
The conflicted fiction and non-fiction writer delivers a masterpiece. Thank you David.
Self-indulgent nonsense.......2005-08-12
Duncan is a masterful wordsmith; this no one can reasonably dispute. But over the years, he has become so full of himself, so pretentious and self-important, that to me he is almost unreadable.
I give the book two stars because of a little bit of excellent fly fishing content, and because of Duncan's undeniable writing ability. But before you buy it, you should read Donald Miller's hilarious send-up of Duncan (whom he labels Trendy Writer) in "Blue Like Jazz." Don Miller -- now there's a guy who has something significant to say on metaphysical themes. Duncan is merely showing off; Khwaja Khadir indeed!
Stereotypical, obvious, pompus.......2004-04-03
Duncan's textbook rants are so predictable I found myself mouthing the next sentence before I read it. As someone who's work and life is submerged in environmental, water use, and preservation issues I find this type of stereotypical ranting more detrimental to the issues that concern me than most G.W. policies. Duncan preaches to the choir, but his preaching is so over the top it is a turn-off. While I agree with virtually every theme and policy he promotes, his pompus diatribes push me in the other direction. If this book were written 40 years ago it might strike a radical tone and inspire action. In these times it is merely a rehash of the new-age mumbo-jumbo that is so easy for the opposition to tear down.
This book will apeal to two audiences: new-age sheep, and right-wingers looking to bash environmentalists. The rest will find it harder to wade through than Columbia.
Henry Bugbee.......2004-03-06
For those who are interested in the life and teaching of Henry Bugbee, Duncan's account of Henry's last days makes this book worth reading.
My Story As Told By Water.......2003-11-06
My Story As Told By Water by David James Duncan was a confusing and overly political way to express the author's love for water. HIs diliverey is good, but he should keep in mind that his readers are reading for entertainment, not to hear about our government's poor decisions.

Book Description
As Balzac famously said of cities, “to walk is to vegetate, to stroll is to live.” For David Brendan Hopes, day hikes provide the perfect occasion for both refuge and contemplation. Encounters with wild animals, rare plants, or simply the perfect moment of weather and view are opportunities to reflect on the sublime synchronicity of human and natural life. The ferns of early spring transport him through time, to wonder whether dinosaurs had song. The emergence of cicadas calls to mind men and women “gorgeous in impractical ways.” A glorious display — one of “exuberant defiance” — of late fall roses suggests that plants might have moods. Touching on themes as diverse as hunting, deep ecology, wicca, and sci-fi literature, Hopes’ hikes and thoughts are part of a sifting of experience that unites the everyday world with a larger personal and eternal story.
Customer Reviews:
Wild At Heart.......2006-02-10
Hopes is an engaging writer who's not afraid to look for the beauties of nature even in the most suburban of spaces. He advises us not to wait till we have time to make that long planned hike into the Swiss Alps or Andes, turn around and look in your own backyard. As he grows older, he remembers a time when he used to cut classes in college solely in order to exercise a new pair of hiking boots, but now he realizes with a start that all of last year he took only one other hike besides the present one. And you'll chuckle as he finds the body of an animal savaged by a catamount and to get over the shock he goes for the flavored vodka (that he brought along with him "to ward off the cold," yeah right). A professor by day and a poet by night, Hopes is also rather theatrical and Southern, and folks who enjoyed the grim Guignol of something like MIDNIGHT IN THE GARDEN OF GOOD AND EVIL should thrive on this one.
One evening he gives into impulse and he decides to stay overnight in an unlikely destination, the mountain town of Princeton, West Virginia. We see this bustling little town through his eyes, share his surprise at the abundance and the optimism of a place he thought might be frightful. He sees churchgoers ushering each other into services with a gentle hand pressed into the small of the other's back, and he reflects that among his circle, such a gesture would be verboten, bound to be misconstrued in the edgy world of college life and its attendant harassment protocols. How long it has been since he's felt a gentle hand in the small of his back! A human gesture that comes with a certain prim grace.
At night, sipping his vodka, the moon grows full and Hopes relaxes into the miracle of modern night. I love his descriptions of light and color, and the particular stillness of time. "[The moon] makes the hill the color of distant fire, then of linen and snow. Soon the dark is not dark at all, not black, but sivery cobalt, a line of shadow thrown behind every tree, every blade of grass." Description by accretion, by ringing the changes in the silvery hillside. "The million, million stars make still points on the face of the stream until broken by the body of a trout. Some really are red, some gold, one almost green among the blue-white diamonds." I couldn't figure out if he meant the trout or the stars by that point. And to tell you the truth I didn't care. It's an extraordinary synaesthesia of abandonment.
no birds, no mesozoic era........2006-01-18
What I think of as an "English major" book - lovely writing by someone who has nothing to say. The title comes from the name of a band.
Soft Natural History.......2006-01-01
Well-written, but the author's grasp of "real nature" seemed rather slight and superficial. Clearly more literary than natural-historical. On the other hand, the doctored Polaroids that illustrate the book--very clever!
engaging writing on nearness of nature in everyday life.......2005-05-01
Besides professor of literature at the U. of North Carolina-Asheville, author Hope is also a painter, actor, poet, and theater director. He uses his senses, skills, and experiences in all of these in writings on nature. He doesn't go looking for nature by trekking into the wilderness or vacationing to exotic places, for instance. Rather he takes nature where he finds it in the rounds and occasional excursions of his ordinary life. As he has found, "nature finds us where we are." In addition to the fetching essays, Hopes wants to impart the lesson that nature is always at hand in some way; and can, and should be, recognized and appreciated on this basis accessible to anyone at any time.

Product Description
Jake Page is one of those rare and refreshing naturalists with a palpable gift for writing. Here he concentrates, more or less, on his favorite subjects: birds. And in these essays, they are presented in every stripe, the swaggering starlings, the querulous gulls, kingbirds, blackbirds, and crows. But birds only provide the skeletons upon which Page hangs the real meat of the pieces: how animals behave with each other, with us, and with the world at large. His real story is how life evolves and interacts, how ponds gradually support an ecosystem, how birds migrate, how animals communicate (even how toads copulate).
Page asks questions and gives answers with a marvelous wit and the curiosity of a humanist and the insight of a scientist. It is this combination of his scientific curiosity and his ability to express himself so stylishly that makes him a writer of such charming felicity. His is a mind of uncontrolled inquiry, one attuned to the natural (and often unnatural) world around him, a sensiblity that delights us with is intelligence and insight.

Soul Songs.......1997-12-24
I was looking for information on bird songs when I came across this book in the library. In Jake's essays, I found not only "Songs to Birds" but essays that resonated with my soul. Jakes is a fabulous essayist, and balances a love of nature with a dash of reality. He also helps us to see the bigger picture of living a life of meaning. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who loves birds, or who just loves great essayists.
