A GOOD GUIDELINE TO COMPLEX PROBLEMS OF SHOULDER SURGERY. ONE OF A KIND.EXCELENT REFERENCE FOR ALL SHOULDER SURGEONS

Townsend Warner started this novel with the intention of producing a Marxist-Leninist account of how a community of women made their living in the medieval period. That probably sounds deadly dull, but the book itself is anything but: indeed, it remains one of the most page-turning novels I've read in years. Detailing the lives of a convent through eighty years in the Middle Ages, THE CORNER THAT HELD THEM defies any simple explanation of its plot: nuns come and they leave; mothers superior replace their predecessors and then make new plans for the community (which often come to fruition and often don't); people affiliated with the community are born and then later die. Yet despite its apparent random nature, this remains one of the most engrossing books I can imagine: from its beginnings in disastrous marital infidelity to its unforgettable conclusion of desperate betrayal, it has all the fascination of real lived experience.

This is a great book! It's a shame it is out of stock. I think it is the first book with partitures of the Corrs'last CD ("In Blue"). It is really a great title. If you play piano, of even guitar (there are guitar tabs as well) and like the Corrs, you should definitely buy this book! I recommend it!

We already owned a copy of this book when I decided to order another one as a gift. The book is designed to help children see that God made all people of all colors and it takes all of us to make up this world. It shows how dull the pictures would be if only one color is used. The only problem I had was that the description of the item # I ordered from Amazon.com didn't specify that I wasn't ordering another copy of the book - I was ordering a 5 pack of Crayon Kingdom Coloring Books??

Unusual for books about Africa in its time period, this book gives an open-hearted look at life for the Mano people in Liberia before the Second World War. It also shows how that way of life, certainly gone today, was disappearing twenty years after the author's original visit. Unusual for books of this sort, Ms. Dendel shares little about herself and writes instead about the people with whom she becomes friends. She does not show even unspoken attitudes of white supremacy, but instead what she, and all of us, could learn from the lives and attitudes of these people. A lot of the negatives of the lives of the people she describes, particularly relating to the role of women in traditional society, are not mentioned, but this book is not a scholarly treatise, just a discussion of the author's experiences. For anyone interested in indigenous African culture, this out-of-print book is worth finding.

The 2001 version of Slack's Cybermedicine, although having the same title as the 1997 volume, is much more than simply a paperback edition. Cybermedicine is using the computer as a tool for medical care rather than an adjunct to administration. Slack has kept abreast of the fast-changing computer world and has added a good deal of new material. The book is eminently readable, with both content and language understandable by lay people as well as physicians and computer experts. He demonstrates compellingly that the computer can be "friendly"and can simplify life for both physician and patient, can improve dramatically the quality of patient care, and can help to control its cost.

I loved this poster, and colored it while confined in a cast. I got so many compliments from my Australian friends, I could have sold dozens of them. Please tell Doodle Art to sell to someone in Australia.
