This book is published in conjunction with an exhibit at the Museum of the American Indian in Washington DC. . It makes a good coffee table book as well as an educational one.
There is stunning photography and maps to illustrate the regions and describe the history of the road and historical figures.
There is a photo of a suspension bridge, the only preindustrial American civilization to build one; it gives one the full feeling of what crossing this would feel like. We are also shown the annual rebuilding of it. Photographs show how the road was built and still in use today. Many aspects of the surroundings are explored – the terraces for agricultural use, walls and temples. We can see how many of the Inka structures remain standing while others have collapsed around them.
History of the Inkas is not omitted including the sacrifices. The Inka road in colonial times as well as the road today, including sections of the Pan American highway that takes advantage of parts of the ancient Inka road are detailed.
There is a glossary and an index. This is a book for those who enjoy photography, South America, and information on Indian tribes such as the Inkas.
This is a lovely book and I have only had time to start it.[maybe 50 pages] The information is incredible and the illustrations and pictures are grand. The Incas were amazing people for their time and this piece of literature only goes to prove their brilliance.
Amazing book with wonderful history and beautiful photography.

5/13: Reading through The Princeton Review: Cracking the AP Statistics Exam, I found it an immense disappointment. The review materials, as compressed as they are, are very dry. The main points are illustrated and all that. It’s very wonderful and breathtaking. At the end of each chapter, very few questions are asked that can be answered within few minutes. Then, that’s about it for the book. I literally read through it in few hours and finished the exams the next day. Speaking of the exams, I thought they were unbelievably difficult. I’ve taken undergraduate statistics courses in a community college and in universities and also one graduate level statistics course. I have also conducted a lot of work with many clients who take online college statistics courses. That makes me very familiar in how the classes are conducted and what kind of questions the students are expected to encounter on a typical statistics exam. Usually, the questions will be 85% application based and 15% theoretical. But no…on these two practice exams, the tables have been turned around. Hence, what I took felt a lot more like a graduate level examination. I asked myself if the AP people are for real. This amount of difficulty at a high school level? Wow…okay. Anyway, solving the exam questions and then thinking back to the review material provided by the book, the all-important question is, "Did the author do a good job of preparing the test taker for such nature of the questions?" The answer is an emphatic no with a capital N. Hence, the rating of `3′ from me. However, it gets a `3′ on the positive side for the creation of these two practice exams, so there will be no surprises in terms of difficulty on the actual AP exam.

The first third of the book is ad space every other page. It’s like I’m reading a buzzfeed article with adblock turned off. If you guys want to saturate your almanac with advertisements at least make it so they are at least removable. That being said, the information presented is nice, clear, and simple. There’s a lot of good information towards the end I would five star this if I didn’t have to wade trough so many ads.
kindle charts are to small to read. can not be made bigger buy print copy
Next to the Holy Bible, this is probably the most read book around my area. We swear by the information in the Old Farmer’s Almanac and the 2016 is exactly what I needed. It has just about everything that is special and important for me. We have always kept one in our house and bought the newest version religiously. I would not want to be without the Old Farmer’s Almanac. I have memories of people in my family searching their copies of the almanac for the necessary information that they required. Gardens are planted according to what it says. I suppose you could say that lives are lived by the almanac. It is just a good item to keep around your house.

Hmm. This one is a hard book to rate.
I feel a little like Goldi-locks. There was nothing overtly wrong with this book. It has a very nice even pace. There were two conflicts: one internal to Anna and Charles and one external to them. Both were very well plotted. Every single loose end was tied up perfectly.
But the book was missing something. What? Well: anticipation, excitement, and depth. Honestly, for a Patricia Briggs book, it was…boring. *Gasp*. Before you start hurling insults at me for denigrating your favorite author, let me say that Patricia Briggs is one of my favorite authors as well. So it pains me to say this. The book starts off with Anna and Charles acting like an old married couple and Anna’s 26th birthday is coming up. Bran has pointed out to Charles that some of Charles presents to Anna in the past have been more about Charles than Anna, and so he wants to get her something special. Then he gets a call from an old friend of his who raises horses, whom we (or Anna) have never heard mention of, and he decides to kill two birds with one stone: get Anna a horse as a present and see his old friend. But when he and Anna arrive they find that the Fae have attacked the family and that Charles and Anna have to step in and them help out.
So what’s the problem, you ask?
Well several things. First, the relationships in the book are not very well explored. There is a lot of opportunity for depth, but most of it is missed. For example, Charles turns someone into a werewolf to save their life, and he does it in an unusual way that literally forces the person to live though the change, something he had learned from watching his dad.
This series revolves around Charles and Anna (the Alpha & Omega of the series name) and they have all been done exceptionally IMHO. This one was no exception to this parade of 5 Star reading in this series.
The premise is basically that the Fae are beginning to turn loose some of the most vile creatures in their world upon the human world (due partly to events in previous novels) and one of the most vile is a creature that preys upon children. Obviously, this is something that our fearless couple must deal with regardless of any other loyalties.
The interaction between characters takes up a good bit of this novel which I many times find boring but not in this case, the rest is a combination of police procedural, mystery and of course an epic ending. The point that is subtly dropped on us is that this may just be the opening move in a war with the Fey.
There is also the usual pages devoted to Charles & Anna moving their relationship to a bit deeper level. I commend Ms Briggs for not taking the road that I see in many authors in filling pages with meaningless sex. I have no problem with sex in my novels but when it is used to do nothing more than add pages to a novel I tend to skip over those parts and wonder how many useless pages a reader paid for in such novels. Patricia Briggs always seems to know the perfect balance of such things.
There have been several people that thought she spent too much time on the horses but since they actually play a part in the plot plus she is a stickler for details and accuracy I never found it to really be distracting (and if you want a writer that does things in a halfhearted effort you have the wrong author).
This book started out as a sweet vacay type story line with Anna & Charles traveling to Arizona to buy a horse from an old friend. We got to see a different side of Cornick, witness a couple of flashbacks, reconnect with an old love, and meet Hosteen’s pack. There was of course some mild tension, but that’s to be expected whenever two alpha males are in the same room; however other than that it was looking like this was going to be a relatively tame installment. Ha! Yeah right, this is Patricia Briggs, and she doesn’t do cute. DEAD HEAT’s fae mystery kept me guessing, the ending made me cry, and the werewolves rocked, as usual.
I’ve become accustomed to being spoiled by this author’s furry characters, so when I first opened this novel I was surprised to find… horses! I marveled at the level of detail Briggs went into with regards to these magnificent beasts from the various breeds, to their different gaits, temperaments and the competitive side of shows. I actually had to pause mid-chapter to read her bio because I needed to know whether she had existing equestrian knowledge or had put her research cap on for this latest book. She lives on a horse ranch in case you’re wondering. I really enjoyed the amount of information she managed to incorporate alongside the plot.
Don’t tell Clay & Elena (Kelley Armstrong), but they are in danger of losing their title of being my favourite werewolf couple because Charles & Anna are gaining on them with each new ALPHA & OMEGA installment. Cornick’s lone wolf status is no secret, so discovering that he has a human friend was quite the revelation. His relationship with Joseph awakened so many feels; however I wasn’t overly happy about Maggie’s role. Why is Briggs so big on ex threads? Urgh!

There is also the usual pages devoted to Charles & Anna moving their relationship to a bit deeper level. I commend Ms Briggs for not taking the road that I see in many authors in filling pages with meaningless sex. I have no problem with sex in my novels but when it is used to do nothing more than add pages to a novel I tend to skip over those parts and wonder how many useless pages a reader paid for in such novels. Patricia Briggs always seems to know the perfect balance of such things.
There have been several people that thought she spent too much time on the horses but since they actually play a part in the plot plus she is a stickler for details and accuracy I never found it to really be distracting (and if you want a writer that does things in a halfhearted effort you have the wrong author).
This book started out as a sweet vacay type story line with Anna & Charles traveling to Arizona to buy a horse from an old friend. We got to see a different side of Cornick, witness a couple of flashbacks, reconnect with an old love, and meet Hosteen’s pack. There was of course some mild tension, but that’s to be expected whenever two alpha males are in the same room; however other than that it was looking like this was going to be a relatively tame installment. Ha! Yeah right, this is Patricia Briggs, and she doesn’t do cute. DEAD HEAT’s fae mystery kept me guessing, the ending made me cry, and the werewolves rocked, as usual.
I’ve become accustomed to being spoiled by this author’s furry characters, so when I first opened this novel I was surprised to find… horses! I marveled at the level of detail Briggs went into with regards to these magnificent beasts from the various breeds, to their different gaits, temperaments and the competitive side of shows. I actually had to pause mid-chapter to read her bio because I needed to know whether she had existing equestrian knowledge or had put her research cap on for this latest book. She lives on a horse ranch in case you’re wondering. I really enjoyed the amount of information she managed to incorporate alongside the plot.
Don’t tell Clay & Elena (Kelley Armstrong), but they are in danger of losing their title of being my favourite werewolf couple because Charles & Anna are gaining on them with each new ALPHA & OMEGA installment. Cornick’s lone wolf status is no secret, so discovering that he has a human friend was quite the revelation. His relationship with Joseph awakened so many feels; however I wasn’t overly happy about Maggie’s role. Why is Briggs so big on ex threads? Urgh!

Hmm. This one is a hard book to rate.
I feel a little like Goldi-locks. There was nothing overtly wrong with this book. It has a very nice even pace. There were two conflicts: one internal to Anna and Charles and one external to them. Both were very well plotted. Every single loose end was tied up perfectly.
But the book was missing something. What? Well: anticipation, excitement, and depth. Honestly, for a Patricia Briggs book, it was…boring. *Gasp*. Before you start hurling insults at me for denigrating your favorite author, let me say that Patricia Briggs is one of my favorite authors as well. So it pains me to say this. The book starts off with Anna and Charles acting like an old married couple and Anna’s 26th birthday is coming up. Bran has pointed out to Charles that some of Charles presents to Anna in the past have been more about Charles than Anna, and so he wants to get her something special. Then he gets a call from an old friend of his who raises horses, whom we (or Anna) have never heard mention of, and he decides to kill two birds with one stone: get Anna a horse as a present and see his old friend. But when he and Anna arrive they find that the Fae have attacked the family and that Charles and Anna have to step in and them help out.
So what’s the problem, you ask?
Well several things. First, the relationships in the book are not very well explored. There is a lot of opportunity for depth, but most of it is missed. For example, Charles turns someone into a werewolf to save their life, and he does it in an unusual way that literally forces the person to live though the change, something he had learned from watching his dad.
This series revolves around Charles and Anna (the Alpha & Omega of the series name) and they have all been done exceptionally IMHO. This one was no exception to this parade of 5 Star reading in this series.
The premise is basically that the Fae are beginning to turn loose some of the most vile creatures in their world upon the human world (due partly to events in previous novels) and one of the most vile is a creature that preys upon children. Obviously, this is something that our fearless couple must deal with regardless of any other loyalties.
The interaction between characters takes up a good bit of this novel which I many times find boring but not in this case, the rest is a combination of police procedural, mystery and of course an epic ending.
