I expected a handy reference tome and found something else - a breathtaking and compelling end-to-end read. Excerpts are short and threaded together in sections which raise the central questions about the relation of drugs to art, religion, science and society while illustrating them with an incredible range of perspectives from history and different cultures. I find most 'drug literature' rather boring but this anthology opens the subject out into new dimensions.

Epstein was an early skeptic of the Warren Commission Report and the reasons why are laid out in Inquest. His approach is scholarly and measured. His assessment of Jim Garrison (Stone's hero) is scathing but well-grounded in fact. Legend is an examination of Lee Harvey Oswald and his time in Russia. Epstein has included updates at the end of each section to bring them up to date with current information. All in all, a masterful body of work

I have had a chance to review a number of the exercises in this publication and I am quite satisfied with the presentation of the material. As an instructor for AutoCAD (still in AutoCAD R12 for DOS) and having completed a course of training in AutoCAD R14, I found that this book was indeed very helpful in my ttransition to R14.In order to further benefit from the exercises, I will like to obtain a copy of the files used in the book. Upon purchasing the book, I was told by the bookstore salesperson that there is a CD-ROM that should contain these files. Please advise.

After finding the first edition of this book in an Air Force library, I contacted the publisher and bought the second edition for my daughter's sixteenth birthday in 1993. She refused to read it and, as far as I know, hasn't read the Owner's Manual to her new Civic, either. On the other hand, I refer to this book a lot.

Webster explains in clear, non-technical, terms how and why an automobile works, covering the interrelationships of the parts. As a guy who learned the how of automobile maintenance, I appreciate understanding the why, and the influence of one aspect on another. The book is also well organized.

I recommend this book to the technically curious but unschooled. It's especially valuable to the car owner who wants to understand enough about their vehicle to help diagnose problems and speak intelligently with those involved in its maintenance and repair. Cars are for many of us a necessary, major, and recurring expense rivalling shelter and education in magnitude. I want my children to become intelligent consumers of things and services automotive, and to enjoy their cars.

The collaborative effort of Dan Cameron (Senior Curator at the New Museum of Contemporary Art in New York); David S. Rubin (Curator of Visual Arts at the Contemporary Arts Center, New Orleans), and art consultant Estill Curtis Pennington , Baby-Boom Daydreams: The Art Of Douglas Bourgeois showcases the live and work of American figurative artist Douglas Bourgeois. His subject matter ranged from the everyday citizenry of Louisiana, to pop-culture artifacts, environmental concerns, social issues, iconic "Golden Age" Hollywood personalities, to contemporary rock 'n' roll. Comprised of three insightful and informed essays enhanced with reproductions of key works raging from 1975 to 2001, Baby-Boom Daydreams is a welcome and highly recommended addition to personal and academic 20th Century American Art History collections.

No, Barney & Baby Bop at the Beach is not great literature deftly composed by a renowned author. No, the illustrations are not superb works of art rendered by an inspired artist. An furthermore, in this book there is no depth of story line, development of character, nor spine tingling suspense. And, yes, this book deserves a ten exactly because it lacks all of the above. This is an unpretentious chunky, clunky board book based on the two outrageously purple and green popular television characters, Barney and Baby Bop. In the simplest of prose and the brightest of colors, they spend a delightful day at the beach doing just the ordinary, mundane things that any toddler delights in - playing with a sandpail, a beach ball and a dog, wearing sun glasses, building a sand castle, etc. And best of all, the book is tactiley interactive with cutaway sections of a squishy plastic beach ball, shiney sunglasses, furry dog, rough sand castle and more, for pudgy hands to explore! Summer's just around the corner. The annual family jaunt to the beach beckons as temperatures rise. Don't think twice about snapping this one up so your toddler can anticipate future fun by spending the day at the beach with Barney and Baby Bop.

The Baseball Almanac is more a bathroom book than a coffee-table volume. You can leave it on top of the porcelain, pick it up, read it backwards, and still get an enormous charge out of it.
It was filled with fascinating sidebars and anecdotes and even though I've read just about everything, I kept saying "Gee, I didn't know that!" on almost every page.

My favorite parts of the book concerned crazy trades (such as broadcaster Ernie Harwell for a minor-league catcher), the Top 10 vote-getters for the Hall of Fame, baseball in other countries, and retired uniform numbers. Also the special section comparing Hank Aaron and Babe Ruth. I recommend it not only as the best baseball book of this year but the best I've seen in many years.

I'll start off this way, I bought this set of books for a Junior College Automotive Class, and read it before the class sesion even started - and I don't like to read. This is not a dry manual filled with borring specifications. This is an easy to read common sense book.

It covers the lingo we as car owners need to speak to get the right parts and service for our vehicles. (The glossary is in English and in Spanish).

It breaks up the automobile into it's separate systems, and describes them in detail. It prepares you for some fundamental troubleshooting.

Buy it!
