Dr. Kuhn has written a book about her life and travels as a foreign language teacher. In essence, it is a book of memories, autobiographical in nature. She describes many of the 45 trips in detail, but she also groups many of the trips togeher. In 1973 when she began taking students to Europe, she had a good background of working with students and knowing how they think and act. (or so she thought) There is an interesting list of things to take, where to put the items, where they can be bought and the prices of the items. There is also a list of personal rules and regulations that were required of all students. They were called Mademoiselle's Rules or Mlle's Rules. Then there is a comprehensive list of Trip Procedures, giving all the do's and don't's of traveling. Students were allowed to "sample" beer and alcohol as long as their parents had signed a permission slip, but students will always try to outthink the teacher and circumvent the procedures. Dr. Kuhn describes many of the things that went wrong on both student trips and adult trips, along with things that didn't seem funny at the time, but in retrospect seem humorous today.

Here are the few words I put together to try to convince you to buy this book. The words must be intriguing enough for you to relinquish some of your precious little green pieces of paper and exchange them for little white pieces of paper. There will be many more words on the white pieces (about eighty thousand) of paper than the green pieces (about sixty) of paper, which clearly makes it a good deal for you if you do the math. Of course, that is assuming you like the words on the white pieces of paper more than the words on the green pieces of paper, but you may not. I donOt know. If you like words that stimulate your mind, challenge your thinking, and are swimming in the deep end of symbolism and metaphorNwords that youOll think about, laugh about, and cry about after youOve set them downNthen you might like the words on the white pieces of paper better than the green.

Flying free is the fictional story of a young boy growing up in the north of England. His family are totally absorbed in their sport but the introduction of higher stakes, disloyalty and dishonesty means they struggle to adapt to the changes which are taking place.

This book is a uniquely witty work through stories, jokes poking fun at people's names, anagrams, bizarrely funny non-sense, jokes and double entendres indicating comic genius. McDermott shows an ability to build his work around small stimulus levels to create punch lines that show extraordinary creativity and imagination. One can't get the impression that the author is making all of his work up as he goes along in a magician-like manner which often concludes in a hysterical fashion and adds to the comical element of the material.

These stories and statements have been written with an unbiased pen, and nor has this been written with an unmerited prejudice toward women and men, but only on facts about the way most couples act in a relationship. The struggle for control and dominance among men and women is present in almost every relationship in the United States and is spreading fast throughout other free countries around the world. Control and dominance has taken the place of honor and respect. The only positive side to this miserable state of destitution that man has brought upon himself due to his uncontrollable desire for sex is the humor in it all. Even the most reputable of tough men seem so tranquil in the hypnotic, drunken stupor that men are reduced to from this unexplainable emotion called love. This really is the main objective of this book, to examine, expose, and exploit the silly things we do over this crazy little thing that we call love. This book is filled with many different facts, examples, opinions, and truths, along with plenty of humor that will keep the readers interest. Although this book has been written from the point of view of a man, I believe the reader will find the author is equally critical of both genders, and possibly just a little more critical of the emotional weaknesses expressed from his own gender: the male race. This book is also provocative, offensive, and very controversial, but if read with an open mind, I do believe the reader will enjoy the contents pertaining to these stories about the many foolish things men and women will do for love. Countless songs, books, and movies have been made from this subject. Love is the most powerful force of energy ever known to mankind.It has been said, "The truth isn't always kind," and that sometimes "the truth cuts like a knife," but regardless of the offense, the truth is what it is, true The Author boasts that his explosive tell it like it really is book is potentially one of the most controversial books ever written second only to the bible. Through satirical expression this book is written out understandably in layman's terms so that the contents of this book is clear to whom it refers, the backbone of America in this society: the commoners. Unlike many male authors who write about the sexes, you will not find this author dancing around the issues of truth because he may fear a group or groups of people over political and personal career interest such as talk show hosts and their special guest psychologist will do when they discuss the issues of the genders. I can assure you the reader will discover that when it comes to the subjects of men and women, this is not some "tell you what you want to hear book," but rather this is a "tell you like it really is book " You can liken this Author as the "Simon" of relationship psychology - a straight shooter In the contents of this book, you will also find the unveiled exposure of candid information from the minds of men. The view of a male for a woman will never be the same. Men and women both need to take a step back from this big circle of confusion, and take a long hard look into that boiling hot cauldron of emotions that we call love, and see just how foolish women and men really are when it comes to the four letter word that we call L-O-V-E.

I dare you to find even one page of this wonderful book that doesn't make you laugh. Linda and Shana are hysterical squared And I mean that in a good way...their musings made me smile, snort, and shout, 'Exactly right '-Debra Garfinkle, author of Storky: How I Lost My Nickname and Won the Girl (Putnam, 2005) Sex may take place in The City, but there's plenty of sass in the suburbs. While Linda Sharp and Shana Moore might cop to being housewives, these gals are far from desperate. Rather than finding their thrills with a pool boy, Sharp and Moore delight in taking the head-splitting struggles all women experience, and making you laugh until your sides have busted their seams. Linda and Shana tell it like you've experienced it...only this time around it's funny. Their flat out honest portrayals of PMS and unearned sweat; puppies and grown women who piddle; sagging breasts and husbands who often act like boobs, will leave you smiling, and feeling less alone in your leaky rowboat.

Teenagers are a strange mixture of hormones, guts and uncertainty. Add in a healthy dose of orneriness, a lot of rock-and-roll, a dance step or two, a few likeminded friends and you'll get trouble enough. If however, you throw in, a little coal dust, a swimming hole, a taste of Roy's moonshine, a bunch of school skipping, some military service, red blue jeans, Judy's bottle of Listerine, and a thick layer of snow and ice, then you have real West Virginia Coal Camp trouble. To say that we grew up poor is an understatement, but don't forget, we grew up in a great country that afforded us luxuries and opportunities that make us seem very wealthy in the eyes of most of the world. For that I am very grateful.

"Coal Camp Teens" weren't so different from other teens, or were they? The rich culture of the mines and the hills, blended together to fashion people who were especially strong. No one ever said that teenage years were easy. Sure there were fun times and memories that will be cherished for the rest of our lives. There were also lessons to be learned. Learning lessons is especially hard when you think you already know it all. There is nothing good about a paddling, unless you learn something from it. There is not much good that can be said about war, except when it is necessary to preserves our freedom. In much the same way, the trials and temptations that filled our teenage years are nothing to brag about, except that they made us what we are today. "Coal Camp Teens" explores the strange world of the teenager. In particular, the teenager growing up in the coal camps of Campbell's Creek, West Virginia.

This book is a celebration of life. Its astonishing view is from the perspective of someone living a simple, isolated life in the Rocky Mountains as a "mountain man." Sylvan Ambrose Hart was born in the Oklahoma Territory in 1906. In the 1930's, while still a young man, he walked into the Rocky Mountains and designed a unique life for himself in the wilds - hunting, fishing, trapping, panning gold, crafting his own tools, weapons, shelter, and clothes. For almost fifty years he lived the life of a reclusive mountain man --eventually gaining national fame as "Buckskin Bill, Last of the Mountain Men." In 1973 another young man, studying philosophy in a private college back east, found that he could no longer abide being shackled by the conventional wisdoms of our culture. To the dismay of all who knew and loved him, he dropped out of college and headed for the mountains. He caught a train cross-country to Montana, then hopped a bus southbound skirting the Rocky Mountains. At one point he simply stepped off the bus and walked into the mountains with only a backpack, machete, and knife (no food or gun) determined to learn what the mountains offered to teach --or die trying. After a few months of eating rattlesnakes, ants and field mice, this struggling newcomer to the mountains (the author) discovered the now old and grizzled "mountain man" living not only successfully but quite flamboyantly in the depths of the Rocky Mountain wilderness on the "River of No Return." Buckskin was an extraordinary man. Anyone who ever met him walked away with stories and memories to be cherished for a lifetime. Here are my favorite memories of the Last of the Mountain Men.
