G5m, sorry; I didn't catch that I typed the wrong name in my first post. It is "John" as mentioned and he is the son of Henry Morris; both are PhD geologists.

In Defense Of Food, Michael Pollan.
Getting to middle age comes with a few perks, but simple weight control isn’t one of them. I’m amazed at how much harder it can get. After reading a half dozen contemporary books on diet and snake oil, this one has been the most sensible one

I'm about 850 pages into a 1,200 page biography, John Adams by Page Smith, © 1963.
It is a very interesting read of Adams' life, career, and the early days of our country.

No problem here. I just wondered if there happened to be another that I didn't know about. (And then would have to hunt that book down, too!)

Just finished re-read of "The Killing of Crazy Horse" by Thomas Powers. A very good book. Now started to re-read "We Pointed Them North" by Teddy Blue Abbot. A great book on the cattle drives out of Texas in the early days and ranching in Montana.

Play by play of how Colonel David Hackworth took the ragtag 4th Battalion/39th Infantry and completely turned it into a disciplined fighting unit. A graphic description of the ugly ground war in Vietnam...Very informative, a great read.

"Killing England" O'Reilly & Dugard. Covers the American Revolution. I've read a lot about it but there's a plenty of material I've either forgotten or never was aware of; "more actual battles were fought in South Carolina than any other state". There's also considerable personal info on a great number of people involved on both sides. Good read.
