The Dunn and Dunn Learning Styles Model and all the corresponding educational and teaching strategies have proved beyond doubt their greater effectiveness with all kinds of students, including those at the tertiary level. This book, after two very condensed and up-to-date summaries of the theory and practice, gives more success stories of using learning-styles-based teaching in diverse settings in higher education. It is a report and does not give practical tools. After reading a number of such reports, I have a query. Each person's learning style is biologically and developmentally determined. To what extent can we change that? If teachers can change their teaching styles, can we use the Learning Styles Model as a guide to help students to develop more flexibility in learning? After all, we may not always have people in our personal and professional life, who will match our learning styles. In a society that depends a lot on the visual mode for success, could we first teach all children to be more visual in learning and achieve greater positive outcomes without depending on teachers to match our own style of learning? I'd like to see more future research done in this direction instead.

Mr. Karolevi traces the life of an amazing American Illustrator and Artist. From his humble beginnings as a sod buster, on the Dakota prairie, to his rise and stardom as an American celebrity. Karolevi's book enthralled me, I felt as though I knew Mr. Dunn, and had the chance to study his philosophies and work ethics. This book will continue to inspire and produce many great artists, and continue the legacy of Harvey Dunn.

This is an excellent resource that every feeding therapist should own. The authors do not target one pediatric developmental stage but infancy through childhood. They thoroughly review normal anatomy and physiology relating to feeding and swallowing as well as complications and treatment options. The feeding experience is not isolated to anatomy and physiology but recognized as an experience with many psychoemotional and environmental factors.

This book represents a collection of articles that review approaches and technologies useful in the analysis of global protein expression, or proteomics. An introduction to the relationship between genomics and so-called proteomics is followed by chapters devoted to genetic based methods to study protein expression, reviews of two-dimensional gel electrophroresis, mass spectrometry, image analysis, high throughput / automation and some applications. Despite the title of the book, there is little on protein function, and a major facet of proteomics, that is, quantitation is all but forgotten. Some chapters overly cite the authors own work and ignore others, some errors are also encountered. In Chapter 5 Patterson and co describe post souce decay or PSD as occuring IN the ion source and repeatedly refers to MS measurement of mass not, more correctly, mass-to-charge.

This no nonsense, easy to read treatis on R E makes sense of a complicated, to often poorly presented subject. Read it and you won't sound like an idiot any longer. Also; you will make some money and stay out of the legal,soup.

The Russian Revolution by John M. Dunn not only investigates the Revolution of 1917, but it also discusses major events and personalities that led to and resulted from the Revolution. The book is filled with close to one hundred illustrations and dozens of excerpts from first-hand accounts written by those whose lives were affected by the incidents that transpired between the early 1800's and mid 1900's. Dunn does not examine every minute detail of the period since a book would have to be a multiple-volume set to be the primary source on the many subjects mentioned. For this reason, I found the book to be informative, yet extremely easy to read and comprehend.

The first half of the book lets us know what life was like under the Romanov dynasty in Russia. As peasants and citizens became more restless, Tsar Nicholas began making some changes, but they were not enough. The impressionable ideas of Karl Mark and Friedrich Engels had already reached many future revolutionaries in Russia. Chapter Three leads us into the Revolution of 1905, with the infamous "Bloody Sunday," and it ends with Nicholas' attempt to quell the insurrection by allowing the establishment of the congress-like Duma. The only thing that turns attention away from the dissatisfaction with the Tsar is the outbreak of World War I. This is avoided only temporarily. The discontent arises again because of the continuing problems and Rasputin, the so-called "Mad Monk." All this and more contribute to the February Revolution of 1917, that influences Tsar Nicholas' abdication of his throne and the setting up of the Provisional Government.

The Provisional Government is desperately trying to organize and control the country as the second half of the book begins. Amid the confusion, Lenin and other Bolshevik leaders return from exile and take the final steps to be, as Lenin said in June, 1917, ". . . ready at any moment to take over the government." The next chapter goes into ample detail regarding the circumstances surrounding the Bolshevik overthrow of the Provisional Government in October, 1917. The Bolsheviks quickly seized power of Russia, but not without major opposition. The "Whites" were many resistant groups that combined together with the single goal of defeating the "Red" Bolsheviks. The Russian civil war raged on from the spring of 1918 to the fall of 1920, and left behind death and destruction throughout the country. This death and destruction would continue with Lenin in charge, and eventually worsen under Stalin. Lenin and the Communist forces were victorious, but the rebuilding of a nation in shambles would never be complete.

The book ends with a brief mention of the dismantling of the Soviet Union in 1991. John Dunn suggests that the ideals of freedom and democracy that fueled the revolution(s) may be forthcoming, but, "Whether the nations of the former Soviet Union will be able to fulfill the dreams of the early revolutionaries and build a nation that represents all of its people remains an unanswered question."

The Russian Revolution by John M. Dunn summarizes the major events before, during, and after the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia. The book is not overflowing with every detail regarding military strike after military strike, diplomatic task after diplomatic task, etc. It is a very informative and magnificent survey of the history of the Soviet Union between 1825 and 1935. The illustrations and quotations bring life to a subject that many students and people find rather dull. For these reasons, I would recommend this book to anyone with even the smallest interest in Soviet history, or history in general. The book is not too long, so reading it does not seem like an impossible task.

This book is very useful, never boring and constantly kept my interest.

This is a decent little book even though I thought it was a bit short (finished reading it in about 20 minutes). The sayings and stories deserve contemplation so this is the type of book you should go through slowly and think about. The material can be rather deep for someone who is just learning about or trying to learn about Zen Buddhism. If this is the case, I would recommend a more detailed book that provides explanations and interpretations. I was mainly drawn to this book because of the traditional Japanese artwork/illustrations in it.

This is not your typical Regency romance, nor is it a "sheikh" story as noted in an auction listing. It is a tale of adventure, not manners, no "wham-bam" romance, just a gradual "getting to know you". If you like multilayered storytelling, adventure and travel, wonderful characterization, this is the book for you. The characterization of the various cultures is fair and complete. There are good guys and bad guys amongst all types of people. If you want a bit of fluff, filled with fashion, dances and witty repartee, SCANDAL'S DAUGHTER isn't for you. Instead, read some of Dunn's earlier works. This is fine writing at its best. Enjoy!

Dunn's invaluable book offers an impartial examination of historical basis of the conduct of our past presidents. Rather than taking the standard polemical swipe at one political party, this book succintly and usefully explores how the moral integrity and failings of previous presidents have much to tell us. By force of a clear, readable writing style, Dunn offers strikingly lively vignettes of each president to have served, and through this to deliver an authoritative narrative regarding the moral underpinnings of our culture and what should be expected of our leaders. Cutting through both the inanity and ideological preconceptions associated with most, if not all, of the writing that address the political scene, Dunn's detached, scholarly and firmly objective treatment of what he terms, "the seamless garment of personal and public morality" that underlies our nation's highest elective office, promises to enliven the commentary on this timeless topic. This book offers a history lesson that civic-minded individuals should assuredly encounter.
