Dr Kuehne takes on an important aspect of the political thought of the time and how that influence is important in US political development into the modern era.

This is a book of review questions including a discussion for each answer. This book is extremely useful for ophthalmology residents as well as recent grads preparing for the boards. it covers all topics in an easy to use format.

OK, so it's not ALL of C&L, but it does represent the equivalent of the best review articles of each C&L subject(the way MY hospital teaches the subject.)In fact some of the hints, especially by Dr./Fr. Casem, I have not found anywhere else, and are very practical even at my basic level (I am a psychiatry resident,curently doing my C&L rotation.) My attending was so impressed at my "knowledge" (I'd read the book!), HE went out and bought one, too. If you've an interest in C&L psychiatry, or in the management of "difficult" patients on any hospital service, this book surely tops the list.

If you have assumed that historical accounts of any organization must by definition be deadly, disabuse yourself of that assumption immediately. Tucker's account of the individuals who created and drove this first of American historical societies reveals much about Boston and the men (and white men only) who sought to record not just Massachusetts history but the history of the United States.

Used to be published by Information Publications of Palo Alto,CA.I am delighted that Edith Horner, editor, has taken on the task of continuing this publication.The book contains one page for every city and town in Massachusetts. The pages are arranged alphabetically,by town name.The data for each town is organized into 9 categories: Demographic & Socio-Economic Characteristics, General Information, Voters & Government Officials, Public Safety,Housing & Construction, Taxation, Municipal Finance, Library,and School System. For quick and up-to-date information on the various towns in Massachusetts, I find this book to be the best source. Dora Federico, Reference Librarian

There is no better book about the history of Massachusetts -- check out A Concise History today.

Beautiful mix of artistic and detailed photos. I like the detailed photos of towns and villages and along rivers. Also has artistic photos of beaches, sunsets, etc.

This is a wonderfully illistrated book that gives a sampling of what Massachusetts is well known for. And gives a flavor of the many nauticle scenes that are classic to our state.

For visitors from out of state or the country, I highly recommend this as a gift.

Boston's Museum of Fine Arts contains one of the most pleasing permanent collections in America. This book is a fine sampler of some favorites among the paintings, lavishly reproduced in color and featuring intelligent commentaries about each one. Highlights include famous works by Sargent, Rembrandt, Munch, and Renoir, although you may also discover some hidden gems that you were not previously aware of. If you have ever visited the musuem, this book makes a fine souvenir. If you have not, it will certainly whet your appetite. For anyone intereted in art, or wishing to be, this makes a good gift.

This amazing collection of quotations highlights the richness of the literary tradition in the Bay State. Bravo! to Carol Dingle, a proud resident and writer from Massachusetts.
