This is a fascinating compliation of true stories about some of the bravest people ever! Their stories of death, suffering and discovery in THE final frontier of our planet are absolutely riveting! If you "get" why they did it, you'll treasure this book. Even if you don't understand their reasons for having to explore Antarctica, you'll still be i for a great read and find a special respect for these true warriors.

This is a great book, with quality research and writing and some pretty amazing photos.

This coffee-table sized book doesn't contain information you can't find elsewhere, but what makes it so special are the many, many photographs. When you read the exploits of the Frozen Continent's explorers, these photos transport you from the comfort of your sofa into the frozen wastelands.

The combination of highly readable and informative text and the great photos makes this a great book for anyone interested in exploration.

I can't believe this book is supposed to be for ages 4-8. I am a college graduate, and I enjoy reading this book and looking at the pictures. Plus...it looks great on my coffee table (when I can put it down).

A very comprehensive and well written book about the Ross Sea region of Antarctica. There is no better way to learn about the verious aspects of this region, than reading this book. It also contains a lot of very good pictures.

Appalachia Inside Out is a collection of some of the finest writing produced by Appalachian writers about Appalachia. The volume is divided into thematic units such as Roots, Exploration, and Settlement, Heroes and Demigods, and Nature and Progress. The reader will find a find collection of essays, short stories, and poems carefully chosen to present the region accurately and honestly. Together volumes 1 and 2 of this work give scholars and general readers alike a full range of readings about Appalachia. As a graduate student, I found this book a fascinating introduction to the study of Appalachian writers and writing, and as a teacher of Southern Appalachian Literature, I consider this book invaluable. I highly recommend Appalachia Inside Out to anyone wishing to read and learn more about Appalachia.

A true picture of the Appalachian Mountain's natural surroundings while teaching the ABC's. Pictures of the familiar scenes the children of this area know and love relating to the learning process. A beautiful book and a keepsake.

A delightful book to read anywhere!! Inspiration, motivation, and respect were brought on by this collection of memories and anecdotes. It is truly worth it.

Dr. Jones, retired professor of history at Glenville State College, has compiled in this book an outstanding collection of applachian folklore. Many of these stories have been handed down from generation to generation. This book provides a glimpse into the unique character of the West Virginia mountaineer.

Read this book constantly when I was younger in our school library. Great book, very interesting
