As a medical student, I thought this book covered everything you would ever want to know about the emergency medicine clinic and beyond. Great information that applies some of the most recent medical research to the world of clinical medicine. Very up to date.

This book offers the most up-to-date and original policy recommendations on how to improve US reputation and effectiveness at the UN. Endorsed by a broad spectrum of foreign policy intellectuals, from left to right, it makes a strong case that without closer cooperation among the world's democracies, the UN will remain hostage to repressive governments who throw sand in the gears of the UN.

Great emphasis on visual aids. Organization is great and easy to understand. Author does an excellent job of explaining. Includes some great examples of speeches throughout the book. Great section on speaker anxiety - helped a lot.

I have enjoyed this trilogy. Sorry to find out that it is outof print at the present time. If you see these books on the shelfdon't pass them by. Very thought provoking. A hard to put down find.

This book is a great tool for police leaders to use in the development of their skills. EVryone should have one on their office bookshelf.

This book is an excellent aid to stage costume design in that both a picture of the finished design and a basic pattern is provided for each era featured. There is also a detailed description of the fashion of each time, as well as interesting comments on the restrictions each design placed on the wearer. All items of the outfit are addressed including accessories and hairstyles. The fashions are all British with the respective monarch of each period as the header for each page. The drawings are all black and white and the patterns appear a bit compilcated for a beginner to dressmaking. The patterns are mostly at a 1/8:1" scale and supports such as a crinoline design are included rendering the possibility for all patterns to be executed into finish outfits. The book also lists all its source material so further research is possible, if required, into all of the outfits featured. The book fulfils its title in that it provides an overview of the developement of British fashion up to 1930, and is an interesting read at the same time. Its provision of patterns tempts the execution of the garments which include a Henry VIII, Elizabeth I, and Victoria costumes.

This book, I found truly remarkable. It shows that prison can reform some people. Mr.Hamilton shows that there is the possibility of rehablilitation in the prison system. The sad part is the death of his mother, and the violent death of his younger brother, that sends him into a life committing crime. His come back however, is remarkable. What he has done for himself and for other immates around the world is good. Helping incarcerated fathers to remain fathers to their children even behind bars. I recommend this book to all those that think the system spends too much of their tax money on people who will never change. It will change your way of thinking.

A good book. I Enjoyed it. It shows us Jake and Nog before they grew up. I would like to tell you more but that would reveal the plot. I really really liked it.

Ably edited by James Hamilton (University Curator at the University of Birmingham, England), Fields Of Influence: Conjunctions Of Artists And Scientists 1815-1860 is a thoughtful, scholarly, insightfully informative examination of the influence that artists and scientists have had upon each other during a specific era of world history. Black-and-white illustrations bring to clear and appreciative life such artwork as a depiction of the dinosaur Iguanodon, and portraits of various famous scientists and thinkers. A fascinating historical, superbly presented retrospective, Fields Of Influence highly recommended for academicians and the non-specialist general reader with a strong interest in the histories and interactivity of both science and art.

I had to purchase this book for my english course, but after only two weeks of reading and discussion I feel such an empowerment by the selections. I wouldn't be able to choose a favorite author because each one is represented so uniquely by their stories. After my class is over, I look forward to sitting down and reading those that were not assigned and re-reading those icons of society that were picked by my professor. If you want a short introduction to various famous authors then this is definitely a book you will enjoy!
