Complete Wilderness Training Book ReviewThis is a very readable and enjoyable book, but I found it lacking in some respects. It presents some very good information. Its organization is readable, though not always as logical as it could be; often the captions repeat information found in the main text. Lack of space prevents the book from having large databases of edible plants, venomous animals, etc., so it only displays photos of a few; this seems rather random and unhelpful, especially since edible plants really should be identified by more than the memory of a single photograph. A better method would be to have smaller, more precise illustrations and descriptions of each plant, focusing on those that are commonest, most easily identifiable, and best sources of bulk food. (By the way, I have reason to believe that the book's description of the mock strawberry, or _Duchesnea_, as a deathly poisonous berry is an incorrect piece of folklore; _Duchesnea_ isn't even the complete species name.) Sometimes the book just wastes space on insignificant topics -- like mushrooms, which are a bit dangerous and not of great nutritional value; how to make a Jell-O dessert out of carrageen seaweed (really!); and various animals and their survival adaptions. Occasionally I disagree with the author's chosen method of doing something, or happen to know that there are other ways he doesn't mention. (He could have included the debris hut in his section on shelter, and shown specifically how to twist fibers into cord.) The photos and illustrations are excellent, but sometimes show more than they need to.
I've spent a lot of space complaining about the book's shortcomings, but let me add that when I first got this book, towards the beginning of my interest in survival, I thoroughly enjoyed paging through it and learned quite a bit. It's good for beginners, who will be able to browse the book open-mindedly and learn many survival tips at their leisure.Complete Wilderness Training Book Overview

Arguing with Idiots: How to Stop Small Minds and Big Government ReviewThe way in which the print version of this book was formatted for the Kindle results in a thoroughly confusing read.
I believe that the information and arguments Glenn Beck makes in this book are well researched and presented, and leave Progressives with little or no room for their specious beliefs. It is an important read for any person who is unsure to the actual truth in life and who care about our country and wants help the "idiots" in their life get onto a path of conservative enlightenment.
In the print version of this title, Mr. Beck uses various colors and formatting to present not only the main text but supplemental information in the form of graphics, cartoons, images, and special commentary under special headings such as "A.D.D. Moment," or "Celebrity Guest Idiot," to name two.
This use of various formatting allows a reader to logically progress through the book as it lays out arguments and answers in a logical format. A reader can, at his or her will, stop at the end of a argument or section, as they choose, and go back and read the extra information.
In the Kinlde edition, this is not possible and leaves the reader confused and lost. In this version these supplemental items appears as regular text which interrupts the flow of the ideas being presented, usaully with no warning to what is going on. They appear in seemingly random locations within the primary flow of the text, sometimes even interrupting a sentence or paragraph midstream, then jumping to another stream of thought, and then after reading another "Kindle page" or two, jumping back (again with no warning) to the main text. As I read this book, I would often have to stop and go back in an attempt to mentally construct what the format of the text of the book was supposed to be.
Additionally, for many of the graphics which contain textual information in addition to the illustration, it is extremely difficult to read due to the small size in which it is presented on the Kindle screen. This left me wondering whether I was missing something important in argument being made, and how relevant was the information I was missing.
Unless this edition is reformatted into a "Kindle friendly" format, or you have no other option but to access to this book using the Kindle, I would avoid this version of the book and go through the trouble of getting the print version.
