Camp Clean Water is a fun adventure story about six grade school students who have entered their school's science fair with exhibits on keeping our water environment clean. These students are from communities near beaches, swamps, rivers, and the Gulf of Mexico. Helping these communities respect these bodies of water and keep them free of pollution and litter are the major goals the students are showing in their science projects. Winning their school science fair earns them a week at the Camp Clean Water where biologists and water experts will enrich their knowledge of the affects of pollution on water.

Palmer has created a uniquely Southern style in telling this story without losing the truth of Wallace's many moral and political contradictions that made him the ultimate prodigal son of politics in the deep South. Patrick Miller, President, Southeastern Literary Tourism Initiative I couldn't stop reading. It's riveting. I had to ask myself why I didn't know how much Wallace accomplished in the state legislature... during those turbulent times. It's amazing. Nolan White, Assistant Editor, Great Days Outdoors Magazine Who is this man George Wallace that the media has consistently portrayed as the modern equivalent of Adolph Hitler? Author Mary Palmer has done a meticulous job of peeling back the layers of this complex man. Jody Conrad, Adjunct English Instructor, Faulkner University Author Mary Palmer takes us into the tumultuous political scene of George Wallace. George Wallace: An Enigma reveals the good, the bad, and the ugly, of one of the most controversial politicians of our time... and how his views evolved over time Cindy Ingram, Director of Satsuma Public Library Governor George Wallace was a complex man who passionately attempted to retain white supremacy in the South. Even after an attempted assassination confined him to a wheelchair, he didn't waver in pursuing his controversial goals. Did he achieve a temporary measure of success, or did his fight for integration under the guise of States Rights have an ironic result? Author Mary S. Palmer had exclusive access to interview George Wallace shortly before the end of his life at his home--one of the last interviews he granted. Using her journalistic skills, she delved deep into matters previously not privy to the public. It may have been the most revealing interview ever conducted by friend or foe.
This is a new edition to celebrate the 100th Anniversary of the US National Park Service, with a new forward by the author. In storybook form, it can be used as a guidebook to the park. This is the tale of a child and a magic bear who become friends exploring a glorious American wilderness together. The tale is fantasy. The park and nature information is factual. Many thanks to Alan Mebane, Yellowstone's Chief Naturalist, as well as to Jeff Foott, wildlife biologist, who checked the accuracy of the book's nature information. Also thanks to the many children readers who helped in the editing process and who taught me more about being Friends of Bears. It is endorsed by the granddaughter of Teddy Roosevelt.
The story is based on interviews with Janie Shores on the subject of her life from picking potatoes as a child in Loxley, Alabama, through serving several terms as the first woman in the country to be elected to a state Supreme Court
