The Walk West: A Walk Across America 2
Peter Jenkins, Barbara Jenkins

William Morrow & Company, 1981

Great adventure
I read 'A Walk Across America' and 'The Walk West' a number of years ago. Both proved to be exciting. I liked 'The Walk West' best since it covered areas I have visited. I began staying at Vickers Ranch at Lake City Colorado due to this book. I took my book with me ...
  
  











  



  
Looking for Alaska
Peter Jenkins

St. Martin's Griffin, 2002

Surf Review And Report Rating: Greatest Contemporary Alaska Adventure
I have thus far reviewed more than 100 books. Of the 112, this is only the third audible book review I have thus far posted. That should tell you this book is special - it joins my review of Stephen King's On Writing and T.E. Lawrence's Seven Pillars of Wisdom as the ...
  
  











  



  
Advanced Surveillance: The Complete Manual of Surveillance Training
Peter Jenkins

Intel Publications, 2003

3 great books!!
Whoever gave this book one star doesn't have any sense whatsoever! This is is very informative. It isn't vague and you don't need to purchase several other books to fill in any gaps. The title of this book is exactly what you get inside the book. I'm glad I bought it ...
  
  











  



  
The Mystery of 2012: Predictions, Prophecies, and Possibilities
Gregg Braden, Peter Russell, ...

Sounds True, Incorporated, 2007

very useful look into changes related to 2012
essays run the gambit from explaining the Mayan calendar to evidences of global change for the better as well as theories of extraterestrial explainations for the source of the Maya themselves. i found the book comforting and non alarmist as well as broad in scope. a ...

A Walk Across America
Peter Jenkins

Harper Paperbacks, 2001

Changed his life and mine
I read Jenkins' book 20+ ears ago. I also had the chance to meet him. I can, honestly say that this book changed my life. He made me so curious about places I'd never seen that my native Ohio seemed pretty small. I worked toward an international career and ended up ...
  
  











  



  
A Thousand-Mile Walk to the Gulf
John Muir

Mariner Books, 1998

John Muir is really underrated as a writer
The title sums up quite a bit of the review for me. Not only was he a brilliant naturalist and visionary, but he was a better than decent science and adventure writer. This book, thousand mile walk to the gulf, is from Muir's younger days when he basically dropped out ...
  
  











  



  
The Peter Matthiessen Reader
Peter Matthiessen

Vintage, 2000

A wonderful collection by the modern Thoreau
This is a book any nature lover should pick up. I'd heard Matthiessen's name but sadly hadn't read any of his work until now, and what a great collection this is to start off with. Matthiessen writes about the world around us vividly, lyrically and eloquently, without ...
  
  











  



  
Along the Edge of America
Peter Jenkins

Mariner Books, 1997

New Year's Day, 2003
This review is for ""Along the Edge of America" by Peter Jenkins, which I've recently finished reading. I want this book review to serve also as my tribute to a very good writer. I still have my paperback copies of "A Walk Across America" published in 1979 and "The ...
  
  











  



  
Strategic Management and Business Analysis
David Williamson, Peter Cooke, ...

Butterworth-Heinemann, 2003

Straight forward applicable instruction WITH evaluation models
I needed self directed training and advice I could apply on the job. This little book delivered in spades. The step by step instruction on collecting and analyzing data had very 'ready' applicability. The UK referenced case studies were of closer relevancy to ...
  
  











  



  
The Untamed Coast: Pictures and Words About Rare People and Rare Places Along the Edge of America
Peter Jenkins

Rutledge Hill Pr, 1995

Beautiful photographs
I enjoyed this book very much. I learned some new things about life in parts of my home state of Louisiana with which I was not familiar. Although Jenkins' love of nature and people is very apparent, I was somewhat disappointed that his vignettes of the people he ...
  
  











  



  
Close Friends
Peter Jenkins

William Morrow & Co, 1989

Along the Edge of America
How can I explain my love for this book? Having read it twice it is now a part of my life. I have underlined all the sentences which are so meaningful. I cannot loan my precious copy so buy more copies for my friends. Thank you, Peter Jenkins. I am almost seventy ...
