Arizona Canyoneering Books

I updated a few of my posts today to note that there were alternate descriptions in the latest book about canyoneering in Arizona:

Arizona Technical Canyoneering – by Todd Martin (you may know his website – Todd’s Desert Hiking Guide – lots of good information and hike/trip reports)

The other book that is not to be missed in this category is:

Canyoneering Arizona – by Tyler Williams (revised edition)

I have not done enough of the hikes in either book to offer a review – but I have had a few good adventures with Canyoneering Arizona and am already excited about some of the destinations in Arizona Technical Canyoneering.

Enjoy!

Beats, Rhymes & Life: The Travels of a Tribe Called Quest 2012 January 30
I have no idea when I first heard a Tribe Called Quest (official site) – but it was the early 2000s before I really ‘found’ them and started listening. I would not call myself a devotee – casual fan is probably the best description – but even as a casual fan I was excited when [...]
Hull Zero Three, Greg Bear 2012 January 15
I am sad to say that the first time I saw Hull Zero Three by Greg Bear (official site) on Amazon I skipped over it because of the rating – in retrospect a somewhat sad reminder to myself about the value of ratings… Thankfully on the Potpourri of Science Fiction Literature blog I came across [...]
Happy New Year! End of 2011 Notes… 2012 January 1
This blog made it thru 2011! A few notes about my media/reading that I thought might be fun if this blogs lasts a few years… -Reading: I am mostly reading on my Sprint Evo 4G Android Phone via the Kindle app. While the reading experience on such a small screen is unexciting the compelling feature [...]
Revelation Space Universe, Alastair Reynolds 2011 December 31
I don’t have a good enough memory or record of what I was reading in the late 1990s or early 2000s to know if this is the truth – but the way I remember it is that after a lull where I had trouble finding any science fiction I was interested in reading I came [...]
Sea of Glass, Barry B. Longyear 2011 December 20
I don’t remember seeing Sea of Glass, by Barry B. Longyear, on ‘top’ science fiction lists – or stumbling across it in website recommendations; but I do remember this novel from reading it in (about…) 1990. What I remember is the brutality, terror and a dystopian future world on the brink of war. The novel [...]
String Quartets 2 & 3, Kevin Volans, Balanescu Quartet, Kronos Quartet 2011 December 12
I believe I first heard Kevin Volans‘s (homepage) String Quartet No. 2 – ‘Hunting: Gathering’ in the mid-1990s on a Kronos Quartet CD. While I can not say this was immediately one of my favorite pieces, I will say that sounds from and sections of the 2nd String Quartet have stayed with me – coming [...]
Norwegian Wood, Haruki Murakami 2011 December 6
Norwegian Wood was not quite what I was expecting – the Murakami novels that I have read – A Wild Sheep Chase, Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World, Dance Dance Dance, The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, Sputnik Sweetheart, Kafka on the Shore and After Dark – all seem to me to have some place [...]
Looking Glass, James R Strickland 2011 November 27
Cyberpunk! James Strickland delivers the classic elements in Looking Glass – a future United States now carved into different countries, powerful corporations, cyber space, techy jargon, decks, jacking in and action! The strength of this novel is not in offering something insightful and new – but rather in being an intelligent and fascinating rec […]
Await Your Reply, Dan Chaon 2011 November 21
Dan Chaon gives us a clever plot – with several converging stories – and disturbed characters that work together to create an enjoyable and slightly uncomfortable novel. There were sections that certainly made me think about my own life and identity, but overall I was not quite completely hooked/pulled in. Rating: 3 of 5 First [...]
Running the Sahara 2011 November 16
Running the Sahara – directed by James Moll – follows three athletes as they run across the Sahara Desert. They run (and sometimes walk) thru Senegal, Mauritania, Mali, Niger, Libya and Egypt. The film does a great job of showing some of the amazing landscapes that they cross – with small glimpses of the people [...]
