This book is really interesting to read, it covers many types of applications of GFP, and is also packed with nice pictures that make it fun to read. Lots of helpful hints too. Highly recommended to anyone who is thinking of using GFP. This book would be useful both to those just starting to use GFP as well as experienced researchers looking to see what others have tried.

The Giants didn't refuse to play the 1903 World Series - it was the 1904 World Series - the Boston Pilgrims and Pittsburgh Pirates played in the '03 Series (the first WS)...

Any lover of this Gilbert & Sullivan masterpiece will gain a fuller appreciation of it by being able to follow the lyrics and dialog while listening to the operetta. The score also has a nicely written preface and synopsis of the story. Although knowing how to read music is not essential to the enjoyment of this Mikado full score, buyers that do read music will gain an even greater appreciation of it by being able to follow each instrumental line along with the lyrics of the songs. The Dover score is beautifully printed at a very bargain price to boot. Everyone can derive a great deal of pleasure from this score, no matter what level of musical training they possess. Highly Recommended! (P.S. I understand that the full score of The Pirates of Penzance is due for release this fall)

As a collector of art photography, I am, naturally, interested in young, up-and-coming photographers and their work. I saw a published photograph by Andrea Modica, found out that she lived and worked in upstate New York relatively near me, and then, a short time later, saw this wonderful paperbound collection in the Smithsonian bookshop. These black and white, almost classically composed, portraits of minor league players are brilliant character studies which constantly surprise the viewer. They show friendship and athleticism, a competitive spirit and, yes, eroticism. They are magnificent. Strangely enough, the highly informative interview with the photographer is uncredited. If you are interested in photography and/or baseball, you owe it to yourself to buy this book.

Baseball's minor leagues, like the major leagues have had a long and storied history. This book details its history and shows how greed and paranoia among major league baseball owners denied the minors their chance to bask in the major league sun.

Many major league teams around today, like the Baltimore Orioles and Milwaukee Brewers were originally long-time minor league teams which should have had an opportunity to become major league teams on their own. The book devotes a chapter to the original Baltimore Orioles who had a dynasty of their own in the 1920s, and another chapter to the Newark Bears' dynasty of the 1940's and early 1950s. Chapters are also devoted to the American Association, the Texas League and Branch Rickey. Rickey revolutionized minor league baseball with his idea of developing major league talent by "farming out" new players to minor league teams.

Sullivan also talks about the PCL's attempt to become the third major league in the late 1940s. Alas, many minor leagues before had attempted this and all were 'shot down' in their attempts. The last section of the book details the fall and subsequent rise of the minor leagues.

Although it's a bit dated now, this book does an excellent job cataloging the history of the minors.

Charles Sullivan and Murella Hebert Powell did a wonderful job in writing the history of one of America's fastest growing regions. From the days of Bienville and d'Iberville all the way up to the 1990's, Sullivan and Powell vividly describe the history of the Mississippi Gulf Coast. The book becomes especially interesting when the authors explore how the region reacted to America's wars. Besides military history, the book also contains information on domestic history, such as the growth of industry in the region. The excellent writing is complemented by the beautiful pictures of the people and landscape of south Mississippi. Whether you are a resident of Mississippi or just someone who is interested in the history of this growing area, you should definately consider this book.

It's a good book with nice picture

This play tells the continuing story of Helen Keller and Anne Sullivan as Helen excels at Radcliffe and Anne meets her first love, John Macy. However, their involvement with the men in their lives changes them forever and strengthens the bond between them.

This book is a classic "hands on" audit reference; written with the same "how to" style as "Operational Profitability". I highly recommend this book.

This was my favourite of 4 titles that I reviewed when preparing a course on the Internet for Physicians. This book is comprehensive, gives an overview of the Internet in simple language and gives examples of sites and resources in all specialities. I would highly recommend it for both personal collections and libraries.
