Generally, this was a great book. Each section was elaborate, and provided several questions of which you can assess your knowledge. Along with a couple of Math B regents exams, this book provides a solid base for someone to build upon. Up until now, the Math B course really is not even in exitence in most areas, but for projects of higher math, such as a math paper, this book gives you everything you need for Seq. 2ac to Seq.3...Of course, you have the applications etcetra, which this book combines with the solid algebra 2. Great review book, and it fulfills its purpose for a 5 out of 5

For anyone who is taking this regence, this book is exactly what your looking for. It focused in on exactly what you need to know. I got a 92 on the regence, and I definitley owe most of that score to this book. I swear by it, and I guarentee you will too.

I found this book to be very helpful, as these Barrons Review books always are. I love them!

This is by far the most complete, maticulous treatise on LLC companies. Rubenstein has defined himself as the nations premier authority on LLCs. Any attorney daring to deal in this area without this volume on their shelves is doing their client a disservice. A must buy for any corporate attorney

Don't be put off by the fact this book was written a few years ago, it's still quite newsworthy. I've been gardening for many years -- everything from a two-acre spread to a small urban garden but I never had to "think small" until I moved to the big city. This book has proved very helpful for resizing thoughts.

In "The Little Bulbs," Miss Lawrence covers everything from miniature daffodils to sqill, from crocuses to irises. Did you know there were miniature irises? Most if not all of the bulbs she describes are still around, and many more varieties exist besides, but this book will get you started and keep you going awhile. I haven't found anything newer with better practical knowledge.

Even if you own an estate, this book can help you. Miss Lawrence has a nice section on container planting which the British have done for years, and we are just beginning to do really well. Remember, bulbs exist for every climate. You can grow the tropical kind in-doors in colder areas (amaryllids), and grow those that require cold outside if you have freezing weather in winter. I like this book so much, I am ordered the hardcover to replace my old paperback which I'm giving to my daughter who is just beginning to garden.

The whole world is a small town is a sicilian phrase that means no matter where you travel, people will be basically the same. Reading this work by G. Verga gave this saying a whole new meaning for me. I learned that people in Sicily are basically the same today as they were 120 years ago. Giovanni Verga was born and lived in a small town in Sicily called Vizzini. This is the same town that my parents are from. I have spent many summers with my grandmother there. The distant past was always portrayed as somehow better by my grandmother. According to her, our ancestors did not succomb to petty human weaknesses. After enjoying these short stories I realize that my grandmother remembered her youth more with nostalgic fantasy than historic accuracy. This work wonderfully portrays human motivations, strenghts and weaknesses. It was a wonderful revelation to realize that the whole world is a small town, not only in the dimension of space but also in the dimension of time.

I love this book! I've researched the topic of ecology and the Catholic faith for about three years now, and have found this outstanding book to be one of the best on the subject. Fr. Mick provides a clear and concise overview of the connections between liturgy and ecology. The book describes some of the most important sources of the Church's teachings, including Scripture, the writings of Pope John Paul II, bishops, and saints. If you're interested in ecology and Christian faith, this is a great place to start! The book would serve as an excellent resource for personal and small group reflection and discussion. ...

Review From Publisher's Weekly - Almost half of the nation's children live in officially defined poverty or near-poverty. Putting a human face on this and other statistics, the authors present a disturbing and provocative composite portrait of 10 families struggling to make ends meet--four white, two Hispanic, three black and one Hawaiian/Samoan. Bennett and Aber, both directors of Columbia University's National Center for Children in Poverty, and freelance journalist Shirk (a veteran St. Louis Post-Dispatch reporter), identify three factors--teen parenthood, low educational achievement and temporary or low-wage work--that they call "the `Bermuda Triangle' of family poverty." Add the associated risks of domestic violence, poor child care and damage to early brain development from malnutrition, preventable birth complications, environmental toxins, etc., and readers will begin to see why poverty cuts across urban, suburban and rural areas. A few of the parents profiled here battle drug addiction; one gambles; several suffer from disabling depression; one single mother bravely raises a severely disabled five-year-old son afflicted with spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy and a 234-pound, 12-year-old daughter. In almost all the profiled families, one or both parents work, contradicting the widespread stereotype of the poor as lazy or irresponsible. In a succinct closing chapter, the authors call for a combination of public- and private-sector measures to help prevent or reduce child poverty. The issues they raise should fuel election-year debate. (Oct.) Copyright 1999 Cahners Business Information.
