I read Week 2: Exposed in a little less than 3 hours, and was very happy. This one still follows the stories of seven teens with seven different problems, but this one mainly focuses on Jeremy. His new lifestyle shocks and disturbs his parents, and he moves in with a friend when his parents fight with him about his new choice. This is definately the best in the series, because Jeremy's problem is realistic - more realistic than most the other problems in these books. These aren't really that great of books, but this is the best. If you didn't like the first one, I highly reccommend this one. It's MUCH better!

This book's focal point is Jeremy Mandile a young student that goes to high school and is in a serious relationship. From time to time 6 other characters conflicts start or are in the middle of them. The first book "Shattered" left you in suspense at the end! While I was reading the continuation, it interested me even more. Everyone in Jeremy's school finds out that he kissed a guy friend on the lips at a party!A few kids saw them and posted it on a website.Jeremy's on a football team and is terrified to go to them. A bully Mike Chumsky is tormenting him. To find out what happens with him and his girlfriend and close friends read the book
I absolutely loved it!

Too many treatments of the lanthanides ends up with lists of data or a main focus on spin mulitiplisities and terms. I'm not sure how many there are that understands the last topic, and can apply it to anything. This book take a broader and more coherent view of the chemistry of the f-group. Many parts are eminent. And the only I could wish more of would a be some few extra sentences about the molecule orbitals in the actinide complexes, ...just to make it even smoother to read.

Scott and Kaltsoyannis have done a really fine job of preparing an entry-level textbook which deals with the chemistry of the lanthanide and actinide elements. It is written at a level suitable for advanced undergraduate and upward, and the authors are to be commended for their clear and concise explanations of some difficult concepts. This is a highly readable text that should be recommended to anyone wishing to obtain an overall picture of the physical and chemical trends within this often-neglected group of elements.

I bought this book for the short stories. They are like small diamonds on a necklace, sparkling in a row, each one a wonder. Fitzgerald's short stories are like that.

"The Off Shore Pirate" is hilarious. The "Ice Palace" is strange and beautiful. "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" is about a baby born very old who gets younger every year.

"The Diamond As Big As The Ritz" is classic Fitzgerald, about the rich.

The story that is missing is "The Rich Boy." This is the story that started the famous spat between Hemingway and Fitzgerald.

In this short story, Fitzgerald writes: "The rich are very different from you and me." Hemingway responds in his short story, "The Snows Of Kilimanjaro:" "Yes, they have more money."

But you will not find "The Rich Boy" in this book. Too bad.

Included with the short stories are two novels:: This Side Of Paradise and The Beautiful And Damned. They are very adolescent novels. High school students might enjoy them.

Maybe not.

The short stories do more to describe the Jazz Age than his novels.

If you are serious about this author, his greatest novel is The Great Gatsby. His next best novel is Tender Is The Night. "The Rich Boy" is his best short story.

This is a very attractive packaged, comprehensive collection of Fitzgerald's early work, containing his first two novels (This Side of Paradise and The Beautiful & Damned) and his first two short story collections. Included are some classic short stories such as May Day and The Diamond As Big As The Ritz. Some of the other stories are less than classic, but all are enjoyable. As is the case with all Library of America volumes, the book is very easy to handle and read. There is a useful set of notes and chronology of Fitzergald's life in the back. All in all, this is well worth the price.

Tales Of The Jazz Age is an anthology of classic short stories by the renowned 20th Century American author F. Scott Fitzgerald, who is best known for his enduring classic "The Great Gatsby". Satirizing the selfishness of the wealthy, depicting revelry that escalates into a destructive mob, while offering a sharp look at the flaws of society, and enhanced with introductions to each story by the author, Tales Of The Jazz Age is highly recommended, and this Pine Street Books edition would make a perfect choice for school and community libraries needing to replace worn copies of previous editions.

Tales of the Jazz Age is an anthology of nineteen short stories by renowned author F. Scott Fitzgerald, including "The Diamond as Big as the Ritz", "Dice, Brassknuckles and Guitar", and "Love in the Night". Enhanced with an extensive record of variants, explanatory notes, as well as an extensive introduction concerning the selection and editorial principles of the anthology, Tales of the Jazz Age is a superb edition of classic literature that would grace any academic or library collection -- and is "must" reading for F. Scott Fitzgerald enthusiasts and fans.

This book blends wisdom, insanity, tenderness, and adventure to highlight the most colorful aspects of human nature. I was captivated by Scott's intricate crafting of the English language and engulfed by the savage yet elegant execution of this novel. A true work of art.

Think a kinder, deeper Nabokov re-plotting Lolita-meets-King Lear-and-hits-the-road as an exquisitely elegant acid trip of wondrous language, fascinating characterization and sizzling gothic spicing and you'll get an approximate idea of what Joanna Scott's debut novel has waiting for you. Here Ms.Scott, now solidly established as perhaps the brightest star in the younger generation of contemporary american writers, delivers what old school critics used to call a tour de force and mean it. This is a bewitching tale that acts as a prism in which we discover the many layers, sides and angles that a narrative has below its surface. Ms.Scott tells us the story of an old man that takes on a spiritual quest, a road run of sorts, after the death of his life long wife. His companion for the ride will be a young, mysterious girl that will take him, and us, in a trip of self-discovery. It might not an easy read, granted, but in these days of literary-lite and I-can't-believe-it's-not-butter flavor-of-the-months, you can't ask for a more rewarding author than Joanna Scott. She's the best of the pack, far ahead and leading the way. And one thing's for sure: you'll be back for more.

I found this book provided innovative and real solutions to the various problems I've faced at my children's baseball and hockey games over the past several years.

I am very fortunate that I have two sons that are naturally talented
athletes and are always selected to be on travel and all-star teams. When I
read Fair Play I was surprised to find that despite the success my sons have
had I learned that they could be excelling and learning more if they were
invovled in programs such as the book suggests and illustrates. This is
truly a book for every parent to read.

My younger sister Erin, is an eleven year old who simply loved the book. She was proud to be one of the first out of her friends to read it. The stories are hilarious and the illustrations bring it to life.
I have many friends who are primary teachers and they have jumped at the opportunity to read "The Fantastical Town of Finkle" to their students. A friend of mine sent this book to his father in England (a teacher at a private school) and he has been reading the stories to his students. It is already a hit in the entire school. Well done Scott and Chris, the book is amazing! Like Scott says, this will be a best seller soon, I guarantee!

The Fantastical Town of Finkle will soon be a best seller and be in every home with children. Children love this book because of the hilarious characters. Parents love the lessons each story tells. A must for everyone! I recommend this book to parents, teachers and children. You won't be disappointed.

I have had the good fortune of being at some of the Favre cookouts and events they gave hosted the past couple of years. My wife and I have always loved the food - the Favre's have always put on a terrific display of food. With this book we have now been able to cook some of these meals at home. The recipes are very easy to follow and the results are truly delicious. Our favorites are Meemaw's Super Bowl Shrimp Creole, Scott's Paneed Pork Chops, and Chicken a la Clark - and those are the only ones we have tried so far! It is obvious that the Favre family has put a lot of time and effort into this book. Besides the wonderful recipes, there are terrific pictures, interesting stories, amusing Favre anecdotes, and helpful cooking tips. The book is top-notch and The Favre's should be very proud.

We highly recommend this book. Bon Apetite...

This book is not only an essential guide for small and medium businesses seeking federal contracts, but also serves as an excellent resource for companies that bid for commercial contracts.

The five parts to this book form a clear roadmap to doing Federal Government business. Part I gives the big picture and rules of the game. These rules cover the sources of contract terms and conditions that you are going to see in any federal contract, including applicable laws with which you need to comply and the role of agencies such as the Defense Contract Auditing Agency. If you've never engaged in a federal contract these rules will determine whether you should even be in the game.

Part II describes special programs and opportunities available to certain businesses, subcontracting (especially useful if your business model is to team with prime contractors), and Federal Supply/GSA opportunities for companies selling finished products. Part III describes marketing strategies for federal business. This area is vastly different from marketing to commercial entities, but is similar in many respects for going after business at the state and county government level. This information is also useful when you're marketing to large companies that do government contracting, such as aerospace. Their procurement policies and processes will probably mirror those of the Federal Government.

Although Part IV is about government procurement and acquisition procedures, most large companies have similar procedures, so this part of the book is useful for both government and commercial contracting. Part V is my favorite because it explains in great detail each contract type (fixed price, cost reimbursement and other types and variations). This information is applicable to both government and commercial business and the in-depth treatment that the author gives is the best I've seen. If you're considering or are engaged in government contracting this book is one that should be close at hand, both as a reference and as training material for your project managers, marketing staff and anyone who is a part of a proposal team. I also highly recommend augmenting this book with Robert S. Frey's Successful Proposal Strategies for Small Businesses - the combination of both books will give you and your company a significant advantage in winning and keeping federal contracts.

Wow! This book is an excellent source of ideas and information for landing profitable contracts with the federal government. I recommend Federal Contracting Made Easy to all my clients and it is required reading for our marketing department.
