Very good review of internal medicine. the questions are well-written, reflecting not only classical clinical cases but also more complex ones. It helped me to better understand the content of "Color Atlas and Text of Clinical Medicine".

This book gives a very real flavor for the transitional time of Setember. From the feeling of new shoes, bookbags and backpacks of the first day of school. To the taste of fresh crisp apples you will reallly feel this time of the year.

I used this book as a source for my term paper which was on shakespeare. I wanted to get essays written by people during the time the plays were performed. This was a great book with lots of essays written by people from all different centuries since the plays have been published. It was an easy book to use...just like a dictionary. All you basically need to find out if the volume number which you can find out quite easily. It was a great book to use and from now on it's the first one I think about using.

This book on sharks is very cool. It almost has all you wanted to know on sharks. Norman Barrett did not make a mistake on writeing this book.

Harold Bloom edits Shirley Jackson, a research and study guide which blends a biography with plot summaries and critical essays covering the depth of Jackson's works. 'The Lottery', 'Charles' and 'The Haunting of Hill House' are the featured works here, selecting some key, different features for focus among her myriad of writings.

This is an excellent book. It does a good job of identifying shrubs and trees. It shows illustrations of: Flowers, if any, Leaves, and fruit, along with the average size of the plant. Each plant has a detailed description which helps distinguish it from similar plants.

I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in the Outdoors, Hiking, plants, gardening, you get the idea....

Those operaphiles who know Jackson's first volume, "Saturday Afternoons at the Old Met", have been waiting a number of years for this sequel. The format and style remain the same. One problem faced by Jackson in the sequel was the sheer magnitude of his task. In the earlier book many of the Metropolitan Opera broadcasts between 1931 (they began Christmas Day 1931) and 1950 were not preserved. Virtually all of the broadcasts (and then some) between 1950 and 1966, the years covered by this book, are preserved. Naturally, Jackson notes the highlights, those afternoons that live in the memories of those who heard them, but he also fairly notes those that, for whatever reason, fell short of the Gold Standard. He also shows the slow decline of the Met that began when true operatic giants like Bjoerling, Melchior, Flagstad, Bodanzky, and so forth left either no replacements or the replacements were in the hand (or, rather, throats) of a select few, such as Richard Tucker who upheld the standard for many years before his death. Mr Jackson not only provides an excellent narrative but also an appendix listing broadcast dates and casts. Highly recommended. The only sour note comes from the Metropolitan Opera itself whose Brownshirts work to prevent the legitimate sale of these out-of-copyright treasures except those that the Met sells at outrageous prices. Recordings of these are available in Europe and are well worth the effort to read Jackson's words and hear the actual performance.

I was not a big fan of log homes until I saw this book. I enjoyed seeing the depth of detail through the house, very similar to the work of James Cutler. A very fine book to add to the architectural libray.

Finally a no holds barred account of the dark and often misunderstood world of corporal punishment. A genuine whipcracker of a book that will have you unable to sit in your seat. Gary Blom Sydney Australia

I purchased this book for my daughter who is twelve years old. She has always had interests in art, and drawing in particular. This book clearly demonstrates techniques that will allow her to develop her existing skills as well as add new ones. I wish that it was one of a series of books rather than a single publication. She loves it.
