The technique of Euler-Lagrange multipliers is clearly illuminated with numerous detailed and worked out examples. The proofs can be a little sketchy in some parts, but the emphasis is on developing the idea behind the method, not necessarily formalism. The best part of this text is the highly detailed examples that sometimes occupy four pages.

It's well written, self-contained, and hardly any background is needed on the subject to approciate the art of calculus of variation. Many illustrative examples are worked out in clear details. A great book to read to get into the subject -- and check out the price too....

Witty, perceptive, humorous, serious...quotes from some of the greatest women in history on every topic imaginable. A great value, both content and price-wise. Don't miss it!

This book is a wonderful anthology of women's sayings about a variety of topics such as women/men, education, politics, marriage, love, friendship etc. There are quotations of writers, poets, actresses from several centuries. A very interesting collection that is definitely worth the money!

The spots in this book are amazing. What' more, there are over 1,330 of them. They cover everything: fruit, aircraft, people, animals, buildings, products, oysters, J.D. Salinger, industry, the decline of Western Civilization, sports and women's shoes. The spots chosen are of the highest quality and will definitely satisfy. Good book.

This is a great little collection of books. Coloring books, postcards, bookmarks, stickers and tatoos. Enough to keep any little fairy-lover happy for a long time. Highly recomended.

THIS BOOK IS A WONDERFUL RESOURCE. IT'S WELL ORGANIZED,EASY TO USE AND THE VARIETY OF CARTOONS WILL COVER ANY SUBJECT YOU MIGHT NEED. BUT MOST OF ALL THE CARTOONS ARE JUST PLAIN FUN TO LOOK. ITS A MUST HAVE FOR THOSE LEARNING CARTOONING, OR DOING DESK TOP PUBLISHING.

This book is a great additon to the library of all paper crafters and rubber stampers. It makes creating collages and artwork so much more convenient--just sit back and browse through 361 full color background patterns, and best of all they are all copyright-free! The author offers a delightful variety of colors and styles, inspirations from the 15th through the 20th century. It looks like some were taken from fabric, and even have a textural quality. With simply the use of a color copier or better yet a scanner, you will have no limit to your imagination and creativity.

Pictures are sharp, have good colors. There are 3 (sometimes 4) pages each of pictures for new years, valentines day, St. Patrick's day, easter, 4th of July, Halloween, Thanksgiving, christmas. In some cases, like valentine's day, it's someting to get started with but you need other pictures too. Great pictures though. I've been using my scanner and then printing them on matte brochure paper, the colors are great.

It's a pretty good selection of famous authors beginning of the century, books by whom became classics.

Buster Bear is a book of many lessons that we could use today. Little Joe Otter played a part in showing the need of not having things happen your way always. Grandfather Frog was a rock of common sense throughout the story.

Hello. I've got to say I've read a bit more than 1,000 books. Out of every one of these, This particular one is one of the best. I read books written by Thorton W. Burgess from my tiny school library back in 2nd grade. Sure, it's been 2 years. Who cares!!! I'll never forget how much I enjoyed laying down every night with a book from this great author. My favorite was the part when Jimmy Skunk finally sprayed Reddy Fox and gave him a taste of his own medicine. Here's a bit of advice: Keep this collection in mind!
