This work is excellent. It can assist you in getting good quality
health care cheaply and in some cases for free. The author
lists a health care provider for each disease process.
In addition, he makes readers aware of free government programs;
such as, the Hill Burton Act and the National Institutes of
Health. He provides an 800 number for your physician to call
and arrange free or low cost hospitalization at the NIH patient
referral line . In addition, the author lists drug manufacturers
who will provide you with free or significantly discounted drugs.
The book is a worthy investment for any library.

This book allows the reader to acquire good information at no or low cost from the Federal Government on virtually every health topic there is. A good value.

Finally! Want to have something off-beat and smart (and maybe funny, too) to say at a party, or tell your uncle who's always ragging you about what you have yet to do with your life (like he's Mr. Accomplishment?)? This book has it all - composers, scientists, athletes, writers, presidents, bad men, prodigies, people who took their sweet time to make their mark on the world. And stuff like how old the guy was who invented the donut, the Slinky, Silly Putty (no, it wasn't all the same person), and more. This really is one of those books that you can't put down. And the pictures are hilariously brilliant.

If you're looking for motivation to finally write that screenplay/start that new career/invent a gizmo that will make you rich, you'll find it here. Andrew Postman clearly did his homework. Who would've thought that at age 9 Genghis Khan became chief of his mongol tribe? That at age 42 Sigmund Freud stopped having sex? Or that at 87 Mary Baker Eddy founded the Christian Science Monitor? Nick Galifianakis's illustrations are so wickedly funny you want to tear them out and stick them on your refrigerator. A perfect birthday gift for the person who has it all--including a sense of humor.

I have just read this book after reading Greig's 'Electric Brae' - an exceptionally fine book. The story line of 'Where They Lay Bare' is complex and beautifully woven. It uses as a framework the ballads of the Border County, between Scotland and England. The narrative forces the reader to see events from multiple perspective (a feature of Greig's work) and there is a pervasive ambiguity as to voice, purpose and direction. There is a wide and convincing range of psychological and emotional states, needs and agendas. The effect is captivating, haunting and - for me at least - quite jarring and unsettling.

The evocation of the Scottish Borders is beautiful (I am an expatriate Scot), with a sustained lyrical and poetic language that is rich and memorable. The writing is exceptional. The story is carefully crafted with a great deal of mystery and violence just below the surface. There are twists and turns right up (as they say) to the very last page. A haunting and disturbing book that mirrors with remarkable detail the emotional complexities and depths of the Border ballad while maintaining a terse vigour. Greig has crafted an exceptional work and demonstrated once again his well deserved status in contemporary literature.

This is a wonderful book. I greatly enjoyed reading it and I'm about to read another of Greig's books (That Summer). He is a remarkable writer. Personally, the rich use of Scots (which should not deter the non-Scots speaker) was evocative and enriching. It is exciting to see that this quality of lyrical and creative literature is coming out of the 'auld country'. I highly recommend this book.

This book is the best novel I have read for a long time. It reads like poetry, with not a word out of place: the story line is gripping, and now, days after having finished it, the characters are still all running around in my head, refusing to go away. Beautiful and spellbinding, I'd recomend it to anyone.

The style reminds me a little of Janet Turner Hospital--another author I admire.

I just finished Which Door Has the Cadillac. As far as I know it is the first autobiography written by a modern mathematician, as the others are biographies. Vazsonyi has written a fast-paced, humorous, and engaging story of his life. I was moved by his personal struggles to escape Hungary before the Nazi onslaught. Interesting anecdotes of his encounters with notable and not-so-notable people, such as Paul Erdos and Zepartzatt Gozinto, made it difficult to set the book down. My vision of math has been expanded by Vazsonyi's quirky and yet grounded examples. The probabilities associated with the Cadillac problem are excitedly counterintuitive. It doesn't surprise me that even Paul Erdos was fooled by this problem. My favorite chapter was The Galloping Fighter Plane. All and all an excellent read!

What an interesting book from a man who has lived through the most momentous moments of the 20th century!

Don't worry --- this isn't a math book; it's the memoirs of Andrew Vazsonyi's journey from pre-war Hungary to modern-day California, and the ways that math has helped him to solve real problems, and have fun.

The style is easy and fun. Highly recommended.

My two-year-old loves this book, especially when I try to mimick the way Loonette says "Who made this big mess???" on the PBS TV show. After we started reading the book frequently, I actually got my daughter to clean her room after I ask her that question in that tone of voice. You can't beat that!

ITS SO HARD TO FIND A BOOK THATS FUN AND LETS A CHILD EXPECT TO CLEAN AFTER READING IT.

This delightful book about a small town on the Maine coast was published in England in 1984. Only now was it brought across the Atlantic. Why the delay? Maybe because it is not your normal routine American mystery with a middle aged detective who hasn't slept in weeks , forgot to eat for days on end, but gets soused every day. Here we find sheriff Jenkins who believes in educating people by overlooking minor infractions. But where is the borderline to major mayhem? And there is his redneck deputy Wilbur Cox who loves to beat up his wife and anybody in his path. Where is his borderline? Add three delicious young women renting a cottage for the summer; what is their game? Not to forget assorted political heavies; do they have any borderline at all?

The answers will surprise you in this tightly written worthwhile book.

WOW! Make sure you can pull your chaise lounge & this summer-reading treat into some shade--you'll need to get out of that hot sun because of the heat in the tightly coiled plot of Widow's Walk.

Andrew Coburn's writing is taut. Tense. The language is crisp, tearing right along the perforated line. His characters are so close, they pluck, poke and puncture.

Paul Jenkins, Boar Bluff's chief of police, is someone we think we know, but don't. His sergeant, Wilbur Cox, brawn and bloat, is a man we never want to know, but do.

The three summering visitors, Joan Weiss, Laura Kimball and Pamela Comeau, ice-sculpture beautiful, shimmer in the reflection of the bloodied East Coast waters, and are witness to Boar Bluff's underbelly as the summer days melt into night and reveal secrets, savvy and slayings.

Among the cast of characters who give spring to the coil is the man-child Bud Brown who is "a mistake in his mother's life;" and Skelly, the manly woman who runs the Mobile station whose mother's mantra, when Skelly was but a bit of a kid, was "leave 'em be, Ralph...just leave 'em be" (but Skelly's father didn't let 'em be) and who later sought safety in the grown-up body Mother Nature gave her to hide in; then there's Hazel Cox whose strength lies covered up like a dormant volcano. And the coils heat up in this sunny New Hampshire town.

Andrew Coburn's Widow's Walk is not a plot with character. It is characters with plot, and those characters--complex, ironic and layered--irk, beckon and repel. They pluck at you. Poke at you. Punctuate the summer days so real that you feel like you are a caught, sweating Peeping Tom.

But you can move to the shade... I'd highly recommed this sizzler!

Ralph Davis seems to be a very experienced author concerning networks and this book gives a very helpful introduction into network programming. He also knows well what the beginner has to know. But it would be more helpful for me if anyone could give me an adress to download the source-code printed in the book. About 40% of the books weight must be printed source code. To make further experience I would need the sources as file on my harddisk

I was busy trying to develop videophone when everything was just absent: SDKs, theories, papers, standards. The book, written by former Novell programmer who written Windows Netware drivers, was very helpful for me. I got his idea of sending messages across computer boundaries and I later implemented it in my code. That's easy: just pack it into structure and unpack it n other side!. My videophones were kept sending each other such a messages to know who is online, and that feature made a big difference..

This book helped me find and make sence if my spiritual path. It opened my mind to new ideas. I would definutally recomend this book to anybody who is pagan or just curious about shamanism. ---peace out

Andrews has been critcized for her approach to 20th century spiritualism, but this book shows that her fiction has an edge rarely found in contemporary writing. This addition to her chronicles takes the author on a dreamtime journey to Celtic England where Catherine (Andrews in a previous life) begins her studies with a wise woman and the Women of Wyrrd, those ancient crones who hold all the truths of all time. Celtic lore especially fascinates me and the journeys and experiences of Catherine serve to reinforce that we all share the same roots, regardless of the lables we assume today. I read these books for the spiritual truths between the lines and found this book to have more than it's share. A delight to read and to experience.

Mary Engelbreit is a talented artist who touches many hearts. Last year, I received this type of calendar from my best friend. Each day I was delighted by Mary's colorful & bright paintings with quotes. I couldn't stand the thought of throwing them in the trash, so I recycled them. I cut off the dates, and shared the pictures with my co-workers as motivation calling cards. I was surprised to see how many have posted them on the walls of their cubicles!

I have been purchasing these calendars for as long as I can remember. I cannot imagine spending a year without ME's daily calendar. The beautiful lithographs and inspirational words will bring a smile to your heart! I have saved and framed many daily pages from various years' calendars to decorate the walls of my office at the bank. My customers always look forward to "breitening" their day by reading the daily calendar page before beginning their business. Order your calendar today and you, too, will be a fan by the end of January!

This Book is anointed, powerful, inspiring and motivational. It has changed my life and Ministry. From the revelation knowledge truth Andrew shares to the testimonials of his experiences with the power of God. It's Fabulous! I recommend it to every Christian who desires to be what God wants them to be. I Love it. As a matter of fact, we are using it for Bible Studies, missions, evangelism and ministry training classes.
