A very good book that helped me along with the Black book ATM Vol III. Heavy stuff, but worth wading through.

The Detective As Historian: History And Art In Historical Crime Fiction is a fascinating and informative compendium of twenty-five essays which analyze and evaluate examples of crime fiction ranging throughout recorded history from ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome, to medieval Europe, to 19th century England and America. A unique, scholarly, thought provoking, and welcome addition to literary studies in general, and detective story enthusiast's reading lists in particular, The Detective As Historian is a very highly recommended acquisition for both academic and community library collections.

I have found this book to be an essential resourse for our adult leaders as we are building and expanding our youth ministries. The book contains many ideas, suggestions, and forms for evaluating, discovering and giving direction to leaders. The student surveys have saved me hours of work and expanded the way I look at youth ministry. I recommend this book for every youth worker...professional or lay, new or experienced, this book will add a fresh new breath of energy to your ministry.

Excelent for a quick review with a lot of images and essential text. A "must have" in your radiology room.

This book gives handy check-off lists to write stories, articles and proposals for games and other electronic applications. It also has a simple guide to web page creation and sample applications to get you started. I recommend the section on Creative Writing Techniques and also Chapter Nine gives money-making suggestions

I actually found this book at our library and rushed here to buy it after my first glance through it. It resembles the Dorling Kindersley publications, yet has new information I haven't come across before! The spiral timeline alone is fabulous for growing fascinations, such as that of our 4 year old son. New dinosuars we have previsouly discovered are enclosed, and the illustrations of muscles and organs alone are worth the purchase - everything I've come across until this point has been pictures of bones or illustrations of a complete dinosaur. A definite addition to compliment your resources on dinosaurs!

Though most were about time travel,I liked the FogHorn and Our lady of the saurapods.Though Strata,didn't have anything to do with dinosaurs.But still a great book!

This book is great. Not only does it start out with the basics, it then takes you deeper, showing you supplies that are really worth gettting. After they show you the basics, they talk about different brush strokes, and color mixing. They show you why acrylic is such a great medium, and the different effects you can achieve using it. Then they begin to talk about light, and have an example painting that you can paint along with. They cover many different forms. Get this book if you want to know about acrylics.

this is an excellent book! It makes seemingly hard textures, forms and shapes, simple. It shows the colors and mediums you use. It makes it all so simple! I highly recomend this book for the watercolor landscape artist!

I found Ray's antedotal appraoch to behavioral problems very refreshing. By showing exactly what the owners were doing wrong, I was able to see if my problems were similiar enough to warrent the same correction. Ray really respects the fact that not all dogs are the same and as a result, he presents several remedies for the reader to try. In general, Ray showed me that we are always teaching our dogs, whether we want to or not. As a result, I am much more aware of timing, proper corrections and how I interact with my puppy. A must read for all of us lucky enough to have a dog in our lives.
