A once excellent text on electrical systems for facilities managers or building systems engineers. Still has much to offer as a basic information/theory text. However much has changed in the requirements for electrical systems in buildings since 1988. From a practical standpoint a rewrite is in order. A companion, up to date National Electrical Code is suggested when using this text.

For 14 years i lived with my father,till the day came that he had to leave me,to go stay in heaven with our god of all times. The one who leads us the right way,who is the father of our kingdom.Sometimes i wonder...wil he ever come back.On 9 march 1957 my good father was born and on 26 july 2000 he had to leave us.As we all know that each and everyone of us is going to get our time of leaving our family,enemy's and friends.Me and my father had our good times and on the other hand our bad times and very bad times,but for what i know is that i will only try to remember the good times,cause there were more of the good times then the bad times.I know that i was sometimes wrong against my great father and i ask forgiveness every night of my live.All the bad things that I have done in my life,I already told him.Every night when I pray,I ask God to give me a chance to speak to my father.I tell him then evrything that happend that day allthough he have seen evrything.The message out of my review is to know that the person that you have lost in your life is always in your hart and that you can speak with him or her every day and night of your life.

Good effort, but ultimately disappointing. It's same ol', same ol', but in a new vernacular. The authors are rehashing psychotherapeutic wisdom, only this time it is coached in the "scientific" language of evolutionary psychology. And so empathy, positive regard and respect for a client become functions of the "kinship" approach (Bailey), and males are uncommunicative and lousy partners because, well... Because such is their nature, created over the evolutionary eons.
OK, it is not worthless if you are looking for the evolutionary language to reframe human problems. It is not helpful if you are looking for new insights to those problems and new ways of alleviating them. (You'll learn that unconditional support and regard are of primary importance to clients in psychotherapy. But you already knew that, didn't you.)

And I wondered why the chapter on male "psychology," full of stereotypes on male and female behavior, was not followed by a chapter on females, but instead by one on "gender differences." Is it because evolutionary psychologists are pretty much in the dark when it comes to female psychology (if we don't count the old stereotypes, especially about female sexuality)?

This book will find its admirers among the (self-adoring) EP crowd - but if this is not your cuppa tea, you do well looking elsewhere for psychotherapeutic insights.

How Murder Went Unpushished by Stone, is just that... an early paperback that attempts to draw attention to the unjust nature of the shootings. As an historical review relatively shortly after the event, it contains a very accessable reprinting of the FBI investigation. This book is recommended if only for that reason... but, given so many other books that also look at the trials, settlements, and new information that has surfaced since the time of publication, this book will appear dated by comparison. --A must have for Kent State Riot completists, but should be viewed as an EARLY historical reference.

Unconvincing plot, unsympathetic characters, and a feeling that the author is at all times referring to a manual on mystery writing. It did keep me wanting to know "what happens next" long enough to get to the end, but I don't plan to seek out more by this author. This book is ersatz du Maurier more than ersatz Christie.

This book was interesting because of the older novelist style of writing, which it is a very good example of. However, the novel is not finished, which is very disappointing. The story wanders from the beginning, in which a ship from early Rome is blown off course across the Atlantic ocean to North America about the first century A.D., to a description of two Ppre-Columbian Native American populations who exist in peace until a forbidden love causes a war. The story never returns to the plight of the Roman castaways (which is disappointing, as it starts out in a very interesting way), and continues to digress at many points throughout the story. One of the major interests about this book is the premise that Joseph Smith, who founded the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, commonly called the Mormon Church, used Mr. Spauldings book as the basis for the Book of Mormon. After reading the unfinished novel, it becomes plain that the Book of Mormon and Manuscript Found have little in common other than the setting of North America and the fact that pre-Columbian American peoples are both featured in both books. The Mormons were responsible for publishing Manuscript Found (which was never published by the author for want of any publisher's interest in it), in an effort to show that the novel could not have been used by Joseph Smith as a source for the Book of Mormon (which Mormons believe is an additional book of sacred scripture and a testament of Jesus Christ when he appeared to pre-Columbian Native Americans shortly after his crucifixtion and ascension to heaven). Many critics of the Mormons have stated that Mr. Spauldings Manuscript Found was Joseph Smith's inspiration for the Book of Mormon. However, after reading the book objectively, and comparing it to the Book of Mormon, I found almost no similarity at all, other than the setting of Pre-Columbian North America. Still, Manuscript Found is an interesting work. The edition published by the Mormons shows photocopies of Mr. Spaulding's original manuscript at the beginning of each chapter and also prints the parts he crossed out so that the entire manuscript may be seen in the published form, including the author's editing marks. It is worthwhile to read it.

This is a book that I purchased about 8 years ago, shortly after the birth of my first child. We love the bright and childlike graphics, and the general story line, it is easy to read and easy to understand. However, before my children learned to read and I was still reading to them I would always omit the line on page 3 that goes as follows..."And, sometimes he caught a hard smack across his backside when he was late for dinner!." I find this line terribly offensive and completly out of context to the rest of the story...We have actually blacked it out, now that the children are reading their own books. I would be very curious to know, how in this day and age of anti-child abuse literature and people being better informed of the alternative forms of discipline available to parents, how did this book ever get published with such a blatant display of child abuse. I find it harsh and offensive.

This book places reality and a Dark Ages view of hell in the same context. It is an extremely confusing and frightening book for the age group of suggested readers. My son an avid reader was disturbed by some of the pictures and had a difficult time differentiating reality from ancient mythic world views. Definitely not on any of my kids reading lists!!!!!

Looking for a book on construction, I came across this text. I guess I should have read the reviews, because the content was not underground construction, which is what I was looking for. As a teacher, my 9 yr. old students would be terrified at some of these pages of hell and dungeons. While nor gorey, there is still an insinuation. I may return it.
