I hated this book!!! The hero was a decent guy but the heroine - she pushed every ick button I have. Selfish, selfish, selfish and this is supposed to be romance? I didn't think so.

Jane Porter may portray Maggie as fun, passionate, generous and caring but she doesn't really succeed in it. Maggie got pregnant by some jerk and comes back home. When Nic finds out, he demands to marry her. They get married but then there's the question about their love for each other.

To me, Maggie was a passive person, someone that doesn't have the emotion and strength. Nic has the hero quality but he's too military like. He doesn't seem to show a lot of emotion. I know he has the emotions because the author even puts the story from his point of view. But they deffinitely need more work. Especially with one of their problem. I thought that it wasn't really resolved and that the characters just left it alone.

I gave this 3 stars because there are some good points to the story. Like their truth or dare game, which showed some realness to it.

When Meg comes home to California, it is to hide from her problems and decide what to do about her unborn child. But she runs into Niccolo Dominici, a man she wanted in her past, and a man who knows the secrets of her past. But when he finds out she's pregnant, his honor demands he marry her, whether she likes it or not.

This is a good, strong showing for a new author with promise. Though I don't usually read Harlequin romances, this one was very well done. Meg is tough, but fragile. Niccolo is very sexy and I think Porter's description of his machismo is right on. The change his personality undergoes is realistic and satisfying.

I found this book to be poorly written.....it did not reflect good literature or spirituality. The book as a whole depicted a degeneration of spirituality and evolution towards mankind.

This book is used to mislead people and to be mislead by the author. sometimes people in power misuse their power. some people claim to be spiritual and misuse their role to hurt others. Be careful of hypotherapist when it is used for the wrong purpose

I loved this book it was a book i needed to read at the perfect time for me.It is written with humor and a certain earnesty that appeals too me.The subjuct is mostly about our aura colours but it is also partly about Davids life story and his awakening and the authors style won't appeal to everyone but for me it was just perfect.I highly recommend this book to people who see aura's and like me only had a slight understanding of the colours meanings or people just trying to understand themselves better.

Having just returned from Grand Bahama, I must say that this guide was just far enough out of date to exasperate the vacationer trying to use it.

Quite a few resorts there have changed hands, folded, or scaled back. Example: Running Mon Resort-which this guide says was rennovated in 2000, w/ 66 slip marina and has a diving facility coming on line any day- is closed. Two of the three botanical gardens featured had closed (Rand Nature Center and Hydroflora) and a third, Garden of the Groves, listed as a major attraction of the Island, looked as though it had once been quite nice but was suffering from underfunding and neglect.

We also discarded the fold-out map included with the book; the freebie street maps available at the airport were more up to date. Example: looking at Frommer's map, you would think you could drive West Sunrise Drive, the main east-west artery on the island, straight through. However, it is blocked off by a resort forcing a confusing detour. Also, the Bahamian traffic circles, which are numerous, are not even shown on the map. This, coupled with the island's smallish, hit or miss street signs, makes it difficult for a new comer trying to find the way around.

Inexplicably, they don't devote any page space to the network of condo rentals which are a plentiful and inexpensive alternative to the hotels and resorts.

We have found Frommers guides to be reliable in the past, and we did not check out everything they listed for Grand Bahama, but if our experience is any indicator, this one needs to be updated if it is to meet their usually high standards. If it's any consolation, Lonely Planet's guide was also out of step in many of the same items.

This book, although riddled with inaccuracies, was helpful on my first trip to the Bahamas. Much of the information was incorrect but acted as a "springboard" to find out what was really going on. The lesson learned was to double check everything. DO NOT TRUST THIS BOOK!

This book tells you every detail you need to know in order to have a perfect vacation. From where to stay, eat, and find entertainment the author gives you honest, reliable information that you can trust. After reading this book you will know what to expect when you arrive in The Bahamas and how you want to spend your time.

Imagine moving to Denmark as a U.S. citizen and working for a Fortune 500 Firm. Now think of bringing your family here for a week of house hunting and 2 months of summer, while you complete your 9 month assignment. Now begin your research on books regarding Denmark. "Ah Frommer's has a new first edition!" "Okay I'll purchase it." The errors our family noted were- 1)on a cold day in February my daughter (14) and I walked to the Carlsburg Brewery (it was about 1 mile from our Radisson SAS Hotel in Fedricksburg) because it was open on Monday while the museums were closed (We'll make good use of our 9 day initial visit.) Frommer's was wrong, it is not open on Mondays. 2)Hey we are going to live in Denmark for the summer, let's plan on venturing to the Legoland, since we had children ages 4, 11 & 14 to entertain. Time to make the overnight accomodations for our visit to Legoland; okay, let's pull out the Frommer's. Read about Legoland, then contact the Legoland Hotel on site (the only hotel listed by Frommer's for the town of Billund). When we contacted the phone number listed for Legoland we reached not the Legoland Hotel but a travel agency! Hotel Legoland had no rooms available for the July dates we needed, however,they recommended a nearby hotel called Hotel Propellen. It turned out to be the nicest family suite our family has ever encountered. (2 large rooms (a bath with a 7ft. tub, 8ft. double sink,and a separate shower; bar; deck with wooden patio furniture). The hotel offered a kidde pool, large pool,sauna, tanning beds, dining rooms, outside dining, heart shaped whirlpools, exercise room, parking lot, walking trails, a playground for big kids and little kids (2)- with a large trampoline which was low lying, and an enormous breakfast buffet (with a child's play area in the breakfast area)that was included in our room price . This hotel was only 500m (a 3-5 minute walk to the Legoland entrance). Why hadn't Frommer's recommended it and why did they only list one Hotel for a resort that is as hugely attended as Disney World, Disney Land, and Sea World! 3)There was another error in Frommer's recommendatons but I forget what it was. I veiwed the rest of their information with caution and wondered what else might have been in error if they couldn't get these major attractions correct. The Danes are great with promoting their towns' and cities' attractions on colorful literature. The City of Copenhagen even promotes "Copenhagen This Week" complete with events, times and phone numbers. I found this free information more valuable and a greater breath of knowledge than "Frommer's Denmark". July 2001

It's a good guide for you that want some tips on what to see and visit. It could have more hotel options (including the inexpensive...)

I found it to be a wealth of information before my trip and during.

The book highly recommended the 'Splendid" hotel. IT was the worse hotel I have stayed in, even for Europe. I have spent 2 months in budget hotels in Italy, and this hotel was worse than all of them.

The windows overlook a tram, which sounds like an earthquake or a plane landing on the roof. No insulation, the windows must be a hundred years old. The bathroom fixtures were broken.

When I was checking out, their modem did not work. They held my credit cards hostage for 30 minutes while a taxi meter was running. The red headed women manager never apologized due to their incompetence. The stay at the hotel was terrible.

I usually travel with two or three travel books and at some point in my last trip to Munich I just threw away my other book. The Frommer's book had everything I needed in regards to seeing all the major attractions, and I ended up relying on it more than the other book I brought. I thought it was accurate and had great info. on restaurants and hotels.

As someone who visited Munich and who is soon to relocate and start working there...I had to set the record straight about this book. Contrary to the one other review, this is a good book. The thing I like in general about Frommer's is that they present you with an itinerary; if you need to hit the 'must see places' then this is your book. Sure the must see places are all overrun by tourists...but some of them as we all know are a must. For example...Hofbrauhaus is where every visitor wants to go...but truth is no native Munchener hangs out there...all tourists. But ya gotta do it.

When I went to Munich, I travelled with this book and Lonely Planet Munich...Lonely Planet doesn't provide you with a 'must see places' list, but it is more detailed. Together they complemented each other perfectly. I recommend spending the extra money for the second book; in contrast with the amount you are spending on everything else during your whole trip...it's well worth it.

As for the other reviewer's bad experience...Germany's service people(hotel staff, waiters etc) are typecast as being slow and having attitudes...waiters especially. And that info is actually in this book.

Hope this helps. Have fun in Munchen.

I taught from an earlier edition of this book at Ivy Tech in Bloomington, Indiana while working on a PhD at Indiana University. Ivy Tech had already selected this text. Too bad. While that was around 1994, I can still recall a number of FACTUAL ERRORS. I had to tell my students that the text was wrong. Among the errors: The clear implication (though not explicitly stated) that the algebraic numbers included all the reals - that is they didn't even seem to be aquainted with the transedentals; there was another error regarding conditional probabilities... I can't recall exactly, but I can remember showing the errors to fellow doctoral students (now at UN, Reno and UC, Davis) for a good laugh. What were the reviewers doing? I guess they're a bunch of incompetents as well. To the publisher: Have some real mathematicians review math books.

I have been teaching out of Angel & Porter for the last three years. It has quite a few good examples, though I agree with the first reviewer's comment that it does need more challenging problems.

Among the topics I have covered are: inductive reasoning, set concepts, symbolic logic, truth tables, algebra, applied geometry, probability, statistics, and mathematics of finance. Though the examples are laid out fairly well for those who are mathematically inclined, the teacher who happens to have quite a few students with weak mathematical skills is often finding himself or herself in situations of having to create ways to become an effective expositor of mathematical theorems and applications. In other words, by trying to explain what the authors are providing in their examples, the instructor is frequently shouldering the added burden of making this book come to life not only from a mathematical perspective but also from a communicative standpoint.

On a positive note, however, there are several excellent applications, and the range of topics is quite broad. Oftentimes there is a gap between the level of advanced high school mathematics and that of a four-year university that is so serious that even a student who performed A's in high school will struggle in the type of college math course he or she is placed in. Fortunately, Angel and Porter have been able to fill in quite a few of the missing pieces.

This book does the job of teaching some mathematics to those with liberal-arts majors. However, over at Wayne State, we are constantly bemoaning the lack of extra problems for students to practice what they have learned (especially in light of the fact that we cover only half of the chapters of this book in a single one semester course). This is especially apparent with the probability and statistics chapters. Overall I can see this text being a commendable effort on the part of Angel and Porter to bring mathematics to those who would normally shun it.

Although bearing some good information, this book was a bit upseting for me. There are two or three chapters with no more than two pages! On the other hand, there is a lot of space wasted. I expected much more information and pictures.

Although it contains a lot of useful information, I found it lacking where it comes to really important hints to repair the engine (2,5Tdi). Most of the bodywork I will never try to do myself due to the specialist nature. But I find it disappointing that not much is said about the inside of the engine while so much is said about bodywork (which cannot let you down as an engine can).

Even if you don't own a new Land Rover the book is very good! My Land Rover 90 2.5L Diesel was purchased third-hand, neglected, and in 'potentially' poor condition. This book helped greatly where my OEM Italian manual lacked (90% of the time). If any owner purchases this book with a new Rover, follows Mr. Porters advice, and uses it in lieu of the provided service manual, his/her Rover will last a lifetime! Guaranteed! I wish my Rover was new so I wouldn't have to complete every required maintenance to 65K miles.

I bought this set as a whole two years ago. I was immensly disappointed as only 3 of the books in the set are up to the quality of the originals. To me, this looked like an attempt by Pleasant Company to milk it's "flagship" as the American Girls Collection is called on the AG site--dry. The highlight of this boxed set is High Hopes for Addy, A Reward for Josefina and Molly Takes Flight. The rest of the books are mediocre. The Samantha book runs the same old same old spin that has been said in Samantha Learns A Lesson about judging people based on thier income, the Kirsten one features (Surprise, Surprise!) Singing Bird, and the Felicity one features the birth of Felicity's sister Polly. These stories were also borrowed from the American Girl Magazine, where they ran as 2-3 page featurettes with a brief peak into the past sections in the back. When Pleasant Company released these books, they ran their "flagship" into an iceberg, so to speak. I recommend trying these for yourself at the library. But to a veteran AGC fan, these books are lacking and rehash the same things over and over again.

A terrific set of short stories for young readers. My 8 year old loves the fact that these books are small and fun to read, she enjoyed every single one! I would encourage any reader to get your hands on these, just the right size, especially for bedtime, full of FUN Books.

This book is not worth the time. Only libraries, craving other points of view, should buy this.

It's not just that Thomas Austenfeld expands our understanding of American literature by grouping together for the very first time four remarkable women writers. Nor is it simply that in discussing the respective experiences of Katherine Anne Porter, Kay Boyle, Jean Stafford, and Lillian Hellman in Nazi Germany he creates a more comprehensive picture of the American expatriate experience. Ultimately what makes this intelligent and sprightly volume so enjoyable and worthwhile is the way in which Austenfeld writes a completely new chapter of American literary history in a manner that is informed, judicious, wise, and imminently readable.

I hated this book for all the same reasons that the previous reviewer loved it. Latour's voice changes add some depth to the story, but are done in a manner so convoluted that much of the substance is lost. Using Aramis itself as the voice of martyred technology just becomes increasingly absurd throughout the book. There are much better books than this out there about man's relationship with technology, do yourself a favor and find one of them.

This is a very disturbing but at the same time very thought-provoking book on the adoption of a hypermodern new means of public transportation. Aramis was a small car version of the driverless subway which is now commonly known because of applications in Lille (France) and Orlando (USA)
Latour disguises as a student of engineering sciences and writes a kind of whodunnit on the final question: 'who killed Aramis"? Because he lends his voice to the engineer, to his professor of Sociology,
to the Aramis system itself and to himself as an author, the book shows different views on the same reality.
Highly documented with texts that would be dynamite if they had been published during the development of the Aramis train system itself.
Latour shows why Conservative governments never would adopt really revolutionary developments in public transportation.

At times a difficult book, but hilarious too, and a reader for every technology-minded post-structuralist and post-marxist thinker...
