The phenomenal bestseller of the 1970s is

will help anyone from the innovative
young to the determined elderly to cope
successfully with the vagaries of our times.
The new or revised listings meet the same
stringent criteria for inclusion las the old):
an item only appears if it is useful as a tool,
relevant to independent education, of high
quality or low cost, and easily available by
mail. Paperback. $12.50.

THE RANCHERS
A Book of Generations
By Stan Steiner
For more than three decades,
Stan Steiner has been wandering
the dusty back roads of the
American West, listening to
descendants of the pioneers re
call how-they have lived out this
century on the rural frontier. In
an Oregon valley, in the hills of
Montana, in a ghost town in New
Mexito, these proud and rugged
individuals talk about living in sod
houses, about learning the secrets
of dry farming, and about how
they came to respect life around
them and to cherish the land.
THE RANCHERS is full of the
richness of Western storytelling.
