I don't read to this book. but I want to buy this book

This book is full of useful evidence based information. I find the PFT and other predicted equation explanations, normal values, and limits of normal to be most useful.

This book is written by the experts in the field of pulmonary medicine. It is one of the books that should be on the shelf of any pulmonary function laboratory.

Cute book for the novice cowboy and cowgirl--entertaining reading for the "real thing". Well written and technically correct--great pictures and illustrations. Obviously written by one who knows the cowboy way. Highly recommended!

I bought this when we first moved to the West, so I would sound like a local! It's a great reference book, and explains the differences between vaqueros, cowboys, cowpunchers, and buckaroos. A fun read.

There are rules to all forms of fantasy. For instance, if you go back into the past, you aren't supposed to let anyone know who you are. Sadly, some of the rules are broken in this book. But, it was still good. The description was great... and I loved where they traveled to. This is not a book I would recommend, though.

Danny and Dixie Fortune are two twins whose father has mysteriously disappeared. Their mother is grief-stricken, their younger brother sick, and the family is really poor. Danny then decides to go to his great-uncles for help. The twin uncles Mordecai and Zecharias are thought to be really strange and weird(which is sort of true...) and they are also rather mean. The inventor Zecharias had made a time machine and Mordecai, a historian, prods Danny to go into the past to find out a bit about history for him. If he does, then the they would give Danny and his family a check for ten thousand dollars! Danny is shocked and indignant that they were trying to use him as a guinea pig and leaves the house with his uncles' words still ringing in his head.

He tells Dixie about it and they reluctantly decide to go into the past, for after all, how could they let their younger brother die? They are given a "Recall Unit" which they need to come back to their own time or else they would be stranded in the past.

They are brought back into the time when the Pilgrims are just about to enter the Mayflower. Danny and Dixie goes aboard with them and are the Strangers along with many other people. But, (oh no!) the very next day, Danny discovers that the Recall Unit was stolen from him that night! He and Dixie are horrified, for they were now stranded in the past until they can find it. Determined to find the thief and the Recall Unit, they stay on the Mayflower.

What will happen to them if they can't find the Unit? Who had taken it?

This book was very interesting to read! I thought it was better than the 2nd book, Vanishing Clues.

This was an awesome book! As an avid collector of Cabbage Patch Kids, it is nice to know that there is some value to my collection. Further, this provided many of my friends and acquaintances with eager cries of "Mine looked like this one!" The research that when into this book is obvious. As one skims over the glossy pages of pictures, they find themselves stopping to read the stories behind the value of "kids." I enjoyed this book thoroughly and often stay up late rereading it.

The cabage patch kids are one of the best books i have read!!. It is easy to read and is full of drame and really keeps you on the endge of your seat the whole time while you are reading it. I cant wait to read it again!!

Jan Morris is one of my favourite writers. Historian of the British Empire and Venice, intrepid world traveller whose books are always enriched by well judged doses of historical detail, she has a fine direct style and an eye for the unusual. "Fifty Years of Europe" is described as an album because it consists of dozens of short essays and fragments written over a period spanning World War II to the nineties. Morris tries to lend some coherence to this collage by grouping the entries under thematic headings, but it's hard to escape the feeling that the book is an attempt to patch together bits and pieces from various writer's notebooks kept over the years. Of course, there's nothing wrong with that, and Jan Morris is nothing if not a good raconteur, so the book provides plenty of browsing pleasure. Morris fans will enjoy it, but if you are a newcomer I would suggest that you start with her books on Oxford, Manhattan, Venice or (for history buffs) the magnificent Pax Britannica trilogy.

An extraordinarily informative and entertaining look at Europe's fascinatingly varied history and landscape. Not to be missed by anyone interested in things European, or indeed, in things human. This is part biography, part geography, part history and part politics. And it works on all levels. Read it! Please...

In Fire over Atlanta, Leah Carter drives herself into some major trouble when she sets out to make Jeff jealous. He's paying absolutely to much attention to Lucy Driscoll. When Cecil Taylor asks for her hand in response to her attempts, Leah knows she's made a big mistake. What will she do? Great book for preteens and early teens.

I love this book! I think it is really emotional between Leah and Jeff since Leah is jealous of Lucy. I think it teaches people about feelings and the Civil War action. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves to read.

A good collection of Simmel's important essays, especially the parts from Philosophy of Money are useful, but it also carries the weaknesses of its original author. Whether you call it impressionistic sociology or whatever, it lacks explanatory vigour, and in so far as philosophical insight is concerned it is not good enough for a devoted philosopher. We know that Simmel's interests span a wide range of domains, and if this is a strength it is also a major source of weakness in his case.

Georg Simmel's social thought having being neglected for several decades, experiences a revival since the early nineties. A reason for this may be traced in his "gifted" - almost literary - style and in his breadth and vision regarding the state of modern urban culture. The collection of Simmel essays assembled in this volume by Donald Levine, covers a wide variety of the topics with which Simmel was preoccupied during his lifetime. One will find here Simmel's seminal work on social types, particularly on the "stranger" and the "poor". Simmel's brilliant essays on the "conflict in modern culture", the "tragedy of culture" and on the modern metropolis are included constituting essential reading for those who apart from a sociological perspective wish also to gain an aesthetic view of social reality. Simmel's intellectual roots are manifold. One can trace them back to Kant and Hegel but equally to the existentialist thinkers Schopenhauer and Nietzsche. Many of the arguments raised by Simmel in these essays bear the marks of the aforementioned philosophers while others sound incredibly relevant for today's (post)modern culture (for example the essay on "fashion" and on the "conflict in modern culture". The reader of this volume is introduced to Simmel's thought through an excellent and scholarly essay by D.Levine which also locates Simmel's sociology in the American intellectual context (i.e Parsons and Park). This collection has become a classic among Simmel scholars and it provides essential reading for sociologists and philosophers alike.
