The Rules of the GameGood Press, 20. 11. 2019 - Počet stran: 695 The Rules of the Game is about logging in California as well as the environmental efforts of the forest service.

From it descended a heavy-set, elderly man. The train immediately proceeded on its way. The heavy-set man looked about him. The river and the bottom-land growths of willow and hardwood were hemmed in, as far as he could see, by low-wooded hills." |
