If this were the first book I'd read as an adult I'd have stopped reading 30 years ago.

how the previous reviewer could give this book one star...oh, never mind. Crystal Vision is as good as Sorrentino's other novels, especially Mulligan Stew, Steelwork, and Imaginative Qualities. Wildly inventive, comic, and deeply depressing all at once, Sorrentino's novel is a masterpiece in the American idiom. Sorrentino's ear for American speech is as good as a great jazz musician's.

i dont want to because this book sucked so ba

This is not only the first, but still one of the best, explicit formulation of the Born-Oppenheimer approach, which stands as the basis for most of the quantum chemistry.

I've never read the book before.

This was just what I needed. I bought this book to prepare for my new position and in a few hours I was talking and clicking like a long time user.

This book is nothing like I thought it was going to be. Reading this book, I felt like I was back in college and my professor gave out the lecture notes (which is the form this book is in). I didn't buy this book and expect an outline and brief description of each category. Of course, if I took the author's classes, I could have used the corresponding notes. I feel that the book (which comes in a spiral bind, by the way) was useless unless I took the author's classes...

Dr. Hammerman does it again with this Level 2: Version 8 book! The hands on examples are what really impresses me, plus you can download sample MS Access data for free to work with.

If you locked a bunch of monkeys in a room with a typewriter for one day, what they wrote would be better than this awful garbage.

Whats up with the Monkeys and the typewriter thing in the other review? I think this book is great. It's a nice practice book for kids who are still learning how to read. It's not a boring book either, which will also help the learning kids stay interested in it. Don't listen to that monkey thing, that is not the case with this book at all.

The book is difficult to read. Style and composition are poor.
The author overuses formulas while lacking clear formulations.
Don't recommend it for beginers and intermediates. While if you are in advanced category you may not need this book at all. Just to give you a reference point - I earned my PhD in physiscs/math. General conclusion: waste of trees, time and money. My sorry to the author for a bad review.

This work is a major summary of complex technology which is readily understood by way of diagrams and references to meaningful applications. It includes the mathematical support needed for the expert and yet brings the newcomer a breadth and depth which is outstanding. These comments from a physicist working in the field who yet develops practical products.

Horrible book. The author is very descriptive but to the point where she loses your interest. And it makes you wonder, when the characters go to Africa, if the author had ever been to Africa. The first few chapters and you're already asleep!

I enjoyed reading the story of Sela and Jonathan, this book will definitely hold your interest. I like the fact that it was not set totally in the U.S. and that made the story very believable.Ms Barouche actually shared another culture, and gave us a raw and untamed romance. Good read.

Its all about the money. This book sounds like it was written for a bunch of 5 year olds. It was written by Jonathon and "Shamael". I bought this book thinking that it would have some good info. It did have about 5 pages or so of actual information. I marked the rest of the book with a b.s. symbol. If anyone wants a book that already has the actual information marked off from the bs email me.
If you want a book on this subject that still deals with religion somewhat I would recommend the Cosmic Octave by Cousto. His book is filled with info and graphs and charts. I was disappointed to see a few money making skemes with him, but I guess it is to be expected with this sort of thing.

This is a rather interesting and compelling book for the Metaphysic enthusiast, and a wonderful starter to those intrested in New Age psychology. Those who are not however may still find this book a genuine perception into the world of New-Age mysteries, and those who are familliar with the conceptual insight of " Inner Light " may very well make good use of this book. Brilliant and Insightful, Shifting Frequencies really touches common ground with the spiritual world without and within. Even those who do not believe will surely not turn away without some form of bieng enlightened. Self help is just around the corner, with this great self harmonizing and constructing message it sends out, you will feel rather enlightend and almost, illuminated. A better head on your shoulders, and this book will defidently take you there in its instruction based workbook like story medium that is easy for anyone to understand, and when reading this book in itself is a transitional change into a world of illumination. It works for me, it will work for you. A truly great insightful book.

Crystal A. Britton has done a wonderful job tracing the history of Black Art from slavery to present day. This is more than a book of black art, it is a history book. Through the choice of visual examples used accompanied by the background of the era and artist of the time, the reader gets a sense of the time in which the artist was living and thus the influences upon their art at that time. This is truly a visual celebration of African American Art from its beginnings during slavery to present day with all stops in between. Folk art, contemporary art, paintings, prints and sculpture are all represented in this book giving a well-rounded representation of the Black artist. I liked this book because it provides a one stop source for the background and style of many of the famous Black artists of "my" time such as Romare Bearden, Elizabeth Catlett and James Van Der Zee.

While the book is touted as a thriller set within the creepy confines of an underground maze of caves, most of the narrative conveys the thoughts within the mind's cave.

The author devotes most of the novel to presenting stories, dreams, and traumatic memories from the dark pasts of each character. Every time any present action is detailed, there's always an accompaniment of psychological analysis intended to explain the action. Characters frequently flashback to childhood hallucinations or dreams or problems with parents.

I was distracted, and a little disconcerted, by the author's determination to dedicate so much time to the thoughts and backgrounds of each of the five protagonists (six if you count the raging rainstorm as a character). Yes, this gang of five was menacing and dangerous, but did we have to get to know each one so closely? The main character, Sam Preston, seemed as deeply profiled as a cardboard cutout versus the 5 troublemakers.

I did love the character of Tom Meade, the fatherly town sheriff trying to be caretaker to all but himself.

I would guess that this book would be good assigned reading for a Psych 101 course. If you are interested in the realm of cause & effect psychological analysis, this is the book for you. If you're looking for a Grisham type thriller, this novel is not it.
