It will answer every question you have. I liked it so much I purchased one as a gift for a friend!

Having read a current bio about Gertrude Bell (Desert Queen), which I found a bear to get through due to the less than amazing quality of writing, I was curious about Bell's own writings and thrilled to find some still in print. Gertrude Bell could write!! What a wonderful book. Having an interest in archaeology and the history of ancient civilizations, I enjoyed the material she offered. But even if those aren't areas of interest to you, the people she met and talked to give one a better understanding of the midEast and of people in general. This was a hard book to put down. My only desires were that a map had been provided and that all of her wonderful pictures would have been printed on glossy paper so they could have been better appreciated. (I would have paid the extra!)

The Detective As Historian: History And Art In Historical Crime Fiction is a fascinating and informative compendium of twenty-five essays which analyze and evaluate examples of crime fiction ranging throughout recorded history from ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome, to medieval Europe, to 19th century England and America. A unique, scholarly, thought provoking, and welcome addition to literary studies in general, and detective story enthusiast's reading lists in particular, The Detective As Historian is a very highly recommended acquisition for both academic and community library collections.

What a great little book this is! Mike Lawrence believes that communication between partners is the key to playing good bridge. Regardless of one's level of play; beginner, intermediate, or advanced, without an understanding of what partner is "saying" the game will be lost. Mike Lawrence presents bridge players with a series of questions and answers covering all the common bidding approaches from the simple natural bids to the complex conventions. All partners and prospective partners should read Lawrence's book together and discuss those areas that pertain.

A great book for a student in clinics to understand and evaluate the general pathologies and mechanisms of the diabetic and there feet!

This is one of the most handy reference guides I have come across on diagnostic hematology. There are many color slides, all very well taken and clearly annotated. The immense effort and care the authors took in taking and choosing the color slides is immediately obvious, as all slides are presented without any ambiguities or any chance of confusion or misinterpretation.

The text itself is concise and to the point, lucidly written using very descriptive language, making for a very easy read. The layout of the book is also very appealing, and chapters are kept short, with each chapter subdivided into manageable sections. And all these without any compromise on vital information.

Apart from giving details on making correct diagnoses, commmon pitfalls to avoid are also highlighted. Manual and instrumental techniques given (eg. flow cytometry) are also highly informative.

The book comes with a Knowledge-based Systems CD-ROM covering peripheral blood analysis, flow cytometry immunophenotyping and bone marrow interpretation. There is also a list of suggested readings for more in-depth study.

It is indeed a very well-written book covering both theoretical and practical aspects of diagnostic hematology. A must-have for every library or laboratory.

This book is a insight into the world at the dawn of the 20th century. This is a sweeping comprehensive factual account that should be in the collection fo any book reader.

I like how the book tells you about all of the trends. Overall I think you should get it,

If you are planning on studying any of the social science or philosophic fields, you need to understand Marxist thought. This dictionary is an essential reference. Hardly a week goes by were I do not reference this work. Get one before they are hard to find.

Biographies of 700+ individuals who have contributed significantly to the development of the state of Missouri with many achieving national fame as well. The book draws from all fields of activities--politics, business, science, religion, art, etc. without regard to race, gender, etc. Although the book seems a little pricy at first glance, I wasn't disappointed--the thoroughness and quality makes it well worth the price.
