I just downloaded my copy from BitTorrent. Some of the letters are switched out for slashes and asterisks, but it’s still pretty readable.

I just read it. It is a book by an academic for academics. I found it interesting but uneven. I would recommend getting Rising Tide instead.

Can I get Crimson Tide instead?

A fine work on the history and breeding stock of Lipizzaner stallions. I mean my book, not Crimson Tide. On the other hand, Crimson Tide has Denzel. I mean, I tried to cast Denzel in my book, but his agent wouldn’t even take my calls.

i read rising tide. i liked the stories. throughout, however, i was plagued by doubts about the title–do rivers have tides? i can get hungup on words, although i try to hide this.

Yes, they can. (I want to use as few words as possible, bbw, so you don’t get hung up.)

Ari,
Which one should I use in HS History senior elective next year in Environmental History to replace Killing for Coal (which kids are struggling with, which replaced The Destruction of the Buffalo b/c ditto). They also read Changes in the Land, Organic Machine, 1/2 of Dust Bowl (either the Oklahoma or Kansas sections and then do a project with a partner who read the other half), and a few other articles.

I’m told that people have good luck teaching my book in upper-division and grad classes, Dave. But I find that hard to believe. I think I’d stick with Crimson Tide.

I wonder who has been declared a doofus most often on this blog.
