  My Private Idaho
  by Dora Rollins

  Located near the border between Idaho and Utah, the City of Rocks is prized for its mammoth granite formations and beautiful, stark wilderness. Campers, hikers, and, particularly, climbers, think of it as a necessary part of their world, just distant enough from civilization to keep it special and unspoiled.

  Meridian—Spotlight City
  by Linda Funaiole

  From its earliest days as an agricultural town through days of stagnation and then amazing growth, Meridian has remained a place with a secure sense of its own identity. For years the fastest growing municipality in the state, it is well on its way to becoming a regional powerhouse, both economically and socially.

  by Jana Kemp

  Individuals looking for careers in law enforcement throughout Idaho will almost certainly attend the POST Academy, where rigorous training is tempered with a strong sense of public responsibility. The author, a graduate of the academy, details the process that turns a civilian into an officer of the law.
