This Spongebob Squarepants coloring book is really coolios! It's got about 3 stories, including the usual maze and connect-the dots. If you're a SBS fan, it's neat to color them really cool and hang them up in your room, I've got a ton in mine! It's also neat just to look at the pictures and read the stories! It's loads of fun for kids and adults alike!

I'm 20 years old, and I bought this coloring book immediately when I saw it in the store. As an official SpongeBob addict, I had to buy it! The selling point for me, since I probably won't be breaking out the crayons anytime soon, were the stickers. There's over 20 great stickers of all of the characters (excluding Plankton)! The actual coloring book includes three stories, including "Bubble Trouble" and "Ripped Pants." Highly recommended for SpongeBob fans old and young!

Chuck Davis, who has a wealth of experience in modeling repeated measurements, especially in biomedical research, has written an exceptionally clear and useful book on modeling longitudinal data. The book provides the necessary background theory, presented in a very accessible way, and then provides a wealth of practical information and guidance on selection, fitting, and checking models. The book contains an amazing number of datasets useful for those learning the methods discussed, all of the datasets being available from the book's web site. Statistical Methods for the Analysis of Repeated Measurements also describes some methods that are no longer recommended (such as repeated measures analysis of variance) so that readers will know why several newer methods are preferred. The book is of special value to SAS software users but users of other statistical software packages (such as myself) will profit just as much from reading it. I highly recommend this book.

This book was a thrilling page-turner that I could hardly put down. I've read a lot of books in my days, but this was way better than anything by Fitzgerald, Faulkner, and Joyce.

"Steps Under Water," by Alicia Kozameh, is a powerful contribution to Latin American literature. The author endured imprisonment under an oppressive regime in Argentina, and later left the country as an exile. This novel, as she states in a brief preface, is drawn from her experiences and from those of others who similarly suffered.

The novel focuses on Sara, a writer who (like the author) endures imprisonment and exile. The fragmented, sometimes disorienting text is made up of several elements: Sara's prison journal entries, letters between Sara and her sister, scenes from Sara's life outside prison, and more.

The novel explores the toll taken on those who endured these ordeals, and also looks at the effect of imprisonment on people's families. Kozameh's characters also reconsider the very concept of freedom. This haunting novel should be read by all those with a serious interest in Latin American literature or human rights.

In Steps Under Water Alicia Kozameh fictionalizes her three years of imprisonment during the turbulent period after Juan Peron's death and the subsequent military dictatorships (1975-78). From the bits of notes on toilet paper smuggled out of prison under the lining of her sandals and through notes hidden in unlikely places, Sara and other prison inmates retain a sense of identity and of solidarity. The threads of connection of one human to another are frayed by the torture, confinement and sensory deprivation, yet Kozameh reaffirms human dignity by refusing to give up language, which to her is as life giving as breath itself.

Saul Sosnowski's concise historical introduction and David E. Davis' excellent translation provide the reader both context and an important work from the period of the Proceso.

This beautiful catalog from an exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 1992 is an excellent anthology of Seurat's work, juxtaposing finished works with sketches, and includes a large selection of sketches as a student. The size allows the works to be displayed in all their glory. If you like Seurat, buy this!

I felt that this book is the best overall catalog of the work of Stuart Davis. It includes an enormous amount of color and black and white pictures of his paintings and of himself. It also includes a good synopsis of his life and extrordinary career. If you need a book on Stuart Davis than this is the best.

Sheep are horrible, horrible creatures. If you've ever been around them, you know they have no brains, no chutzpah, and no will to live. Anybody who's lived in the countryside knows this. The authors of the Bible, who were often nomadic shepherds (including King David) certainly would have known this. Yet those who are called to follow God are christened "sheep" in the good book. That can't be right, can it?

Oh yes it can.

Humorist Ken Davis explains not only why we are like sheep, he makes us understand why we are called to that life, and why it is a thing of beauty. Along the way he also makes us laugh uproariously.

If you're weary of sermons that leave you feeling dreary and exhausted by the time you're done with them, Davis is your preacher. He explains his points clearly and comprehensibly, and he makes you care about what he has to say. He's in high demand, so it may be a while before you get to see him yourself; in the meantime, videos like "Super Sheep" will give you a foretaste of what he has to offer.

Watch, savor, laugh. And then pray. You certainly won't regret it

This is a super video about how to become super sheep...the wolves, snakes, etc want to attack, but the sheep with the Good Shepherd can prevail. Ken is at his best in this taped presentation. If you've never been blessed to hear him before, here's a great example of how he presents the Word in a different manner...one that will touch you and one which you will remember.

By far the best surveying text available. It covers both basic concepts and more in-depth topics with equal clarity. This text is a must for surveying students, and practicing surveyors alike.

Good book and reference.Lots of examples and exercises with lilustrations and up to date theory. A great buy for the surveying student.

I would highly recommend "Thirteen Miles from Suncrest" to people who like to read about life in the south in the early 1900s. Follow the main character, Medford McGee, as he grows up on a farm, his school life, his social life, and how he mingles with other people in the community. The book covers interesting historical happenings in that era and a young boys reactions to the events. This book is for people who likes to watch television programs such as The Waltons. I found the ending a tragic surprise, but I still found the book charming and heartwarming and deeply suggest the reading of the novel, "Thirteen Miles from Suncrest" for its gentle warmth.

I like novels whose characters remind me of aunts and uncles I remember from my days growing up on the farm and this novel is full of them. The setting is Appalachia during the early days of the twentieth century. Davis is especially good at creating characters you come to care about. This is a great read for those who enjoy stories from the early 1900's and who enjoy rich characterization.

A great historical account of family life as the wilderness of the Mississippi Delta was slowly transformed into an agilcultural society and a place where many call home. This book takes you back to how hard life was for those who paved the way to where we are today.

As a native of Mississippi and a woman, I appreciate the historical value of this story. I loved the fact that the reader knows Mrs. Hamilton was not a professional writer (she says in the intro that she had only written letters before Helen Dick Davis asked her to write out her memoirs), but nonetheless, she eloquently and honestly told her story. Although this book is an autobiography, it reads much like fiction. It is an enthralling story and held my attention like few autobiographies or biographies do.

The novel, "An Unsuitable Attachment," by Barbara Pym is set in an unfashionable suburb of London and revolves around a small group of characters who live there. The Vicar of St Basil's, Mark Ainger, the remote and unworldly husband of the lonely Sophie, heads the community. While Mark plans his next sermon, Sophie hopes that an attachment will form between her sister, Penelope, and the new resident bachelor, anthropologist, Rupert Stonebird. There is however, a slight complication to Sophie's matchmaking plans--a very eligible and eminently suitable spinster--Iantha Broome also moves into the parish.

In this quietly contained novel, the story gently unfolds as the characters form both suitable and unsuitable attachments. Rupert Stonebird contemplates relationships with both Penelope--the "poor pre-Raphaelite Beatnik" and the graceful, ladylike Iantha. Iantha, however, rather unexpectedly becomes the object of desire of no less than three men. Rupert is quite an expert on mating rituals of obscure tribes, but when faced with the mating rituals of his own class, he is flummoxed.

Edwin Pettigrew, the local veterinarian is too devoted to his furry patients to form an attachment to anyone, and his sister Daisy is attached only to the cats who come under her care--although she does draw the line at "undoctored ... and Siamese cats." Several people in the St Basil's congregation find Sophie's attachment to her cat, Faustina very unseemly--especially since Sophie is married to the vicar, but it is a holiday in Rome that sorts out which attachments--both suitable and unsuitable--will become permanent.

I adore Barbara Pym novels, and I frequently re-read all of them for the soothing, reassuring qualities they seem to possess. If you like Jane Austen, then no doubt you will also enjoy the novels of Barbara Pym. "An Unsuitable Attachment" is a subtle, gentle novel of manners--elegant, smooth, full of faded gentility and quiet eloquence--displacedhuman--Amazon Reviewer

Barbara Pym is often called the Jane Austen of our time. Insofar as she observes keenly the social intercourse, inconsistancies and mores of her own time and place, this is true. But do not regard her as a duplicate of anyone. Her dry, elegant observations reach their height in An Unsuitable Attachment, a meandering story which takes place in a London parish in the 1960's. Pym lightly delineates the social changes taking place in England through her assortment of characters. From the upper-middle-class vicar's wife Sophia, devoted to her aptly-named cat Faustina and her handsome if remote husband Mark, to the wistfully mod single Penelope, to the good-hearted if crude working-class Sister Dew, Pym represents the spectrum of generational and class attitudes, and the resultant clashes of understanding between these attitudes. In spare yet well-honed descriptions she evokes a post-war, newly prospering London, a city where exotic (meaning dark-skinned) immigrants live close by old-fashioned people whose relatives who come up by train from the country to open a parish bazaar. I lived in London not many years ofter this story is set, and the mix of characters, descriptions of streets and houses, and tone and pace brilliantly evoke the atmosphere of that wonderfully complex and vital city. The romance is fun, too.
