I am a perfusionist and I just saw this book in our office today. I only got to thumb through it but I plan on buying my own copy because it is hilarious!!! In case you're wondering, the perfusionist is that obscure person that runs that heart-lung machine for open heart surgery (amongst many other duties and skills). We're the underdog, the unseen, we're stealthy. This is so much fun - I would like to see more funnies like this!! (SAY REWARM! SAY REWARM!)

In _The Library of John Montgomerie, Colonial Governor of New York and New Jersey_, Kevin J. Hayes reconstructs the contents of the governor's library based on a manuscript inventory that survives at the New York Public Library. The inventory includes a list of the titles in Montgomerie's library, a collection of over 1300 volumes. While Montgomerie's gubernatorial predecessors, Robert Hunter and William Burnet, had better reputations as men of letters and while both of their libraries probably excelled Montgomerie's, little information survives to detail their contents. The inventory of Montgomerie's library, on the other hand, provides enough detail to make it the largest known library in colonial New York before the 1770s when the library of William Smith, Sr., was catalogued. Enhancing the importance of the inventory of Montgomerie's library is the fact that most of the books are listed by purchaser. The list reads like a Who's Who of colonial New York and New Jersey. The group includes several men who would influence the two colonies for the next several decades: James Alexander, John Chambers, James DeLancey, Archibald Kennedy, Frederick Morris, Joseph Murray, Paul Richards, and William Smith, Sr. Though Montgomerie spent only a short time in New York and personally had little impact on either New York or New Jersey history, his books exerted a lasting impact on the thought of colonial New York's political and intellectual elite. While the manuscript inventory of Montgomerie's library has the potential to contribute to the intellectual history of New York and New Jersey, it lists only spine titles. None of the book titles mention dates or places of publication. Many do not list authors. Based on the surviving manuscript inventory, Hayes, the award-winning author of _The Library of William Byrd of Westover_, brilliantly reconstructs the library's contents. In a detailed introduction, Hayes situates the Montgomerie library within its intellectual and cultural milieu. A thorough index allows the titles to be accessed by author, title, subject, and owners. _The Library of John Montgomerie_ not only reconstructs the intellectual life of one colonial governor, it makes an important contribution to the intellectual history of New York and New Jersey. Combined with his earlier works, _The Library of William Byrd_ and _A Colonial Woman's Bookshelf_, _The Library of John Montgomerie_ solidifies Hayes's status as the leading historian of the book culture of colonial America.

This book is very helpful for people who are doing Linguistics for the first time. What is really amazing about this book is that its progressive, you can use it after you finish your undergraduate program. This book is very practical in its approach which makes learning linguistics an enjoyable experience. I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in keeping a really great linguistic book in their personal library [or public library] and for anyone who has no clue about linguistics and is planning to either do a course or just for general knowledge.

Fresh out of prison, Boyd has had 8 yrs. to work out his plan of revenge and payback - if the town thought the rape he had been convicted of had been bad, they haven't seen anything yet! This is a believable book with lots of tense suspense, nerve twisting horror, and brutal violence towards those on his "list" - hard to put down. It's easy to get involved with this story - it's written well and it's just one of those books that keep you on the edge of your seat. Worth reading more than once.

It was really good. I liked it a lot!

This is an area of which I know a limited amount. I found this book explained issues that had previously been confusing. I particularly liked the no-nonsense style.

Mapping the curriculum is an outstanding, hands-on way to record the complete scope and sequence of the curricula in your school. It is, easy to read and gets directly to the point. I recommend this book to any school administrator or team leader. It will only take an hour to read, but will pay dividends for years to come!

This was a wonderful for my child. It had lovely illustrations and addresses important issues (such as war) in an appropriate way for a child. An inspiring story.

Since Amazon.com didn't post an editorial review, here's the description from the back of the book to help you decide if this book is for you: "The one who got away ....

Now, fate had brought Dacy back to town -- and she was determined to reclaim her man. But Nick Reynolds no longer fancied himslef the marrying kind.

Not even a unique proposal from the woman he used to love ..."
