If you are interested in applying for dental schools, this book is a definite must have. The book is published by the ADEA, which is the same organization that most schools use for the application process (visit www.adea.org for more info on applying to schools).

In it, you will find vital stats of applicants as well as stats for students who attended the school. I think this is the best part of the book. DAT scores, gpa, state of residency, minority status, price of education are all listed in concise, easy to read charts.

The book starts with a brief introduction to the field of dentistry and offers some advice on possible sources of guidance. There is also a section on financial aid and how to fund your education, repayment options, etc.

Each school in the US is listed and has a 2 page or longer description. Pre-requisites, a brief description of the school and curriculum, and cost (by year and total) are all covered.

In conclusion, this book will answer just about any questions you have about applying to dental school. why get other dental school guides when you can get the best? Buy this book -- you'll be glad you did. :)

The authors provide a view of the Alaska Highway as it is in this century, not the previous century. The Alaska Highway of this century is not the dusty, gravel road of the previous century. This book allows the reader to formulate expectations of an Alaskan Highway journey in 2003. The authors also provide information on likely places to spot caribou, bison, muskoxen, and wolves. Their photographs capture wildlife, scenery, relaxing side trips, local humor, and glimpses into the past in a vibrant, brillant, informative, and tantalizing manner. The text is refreshing. I'm glad I bought this book and I would recommend it to others. For those planning to travel the Alaska Highway in the near future, this book is a great supplement to the 55th Anniversary (2003) edition of The Milepost.

This is a really fine & useful cookbook. As the full title says, it features recipes from Alaska and Canada's Yukon Territory. Calories are a good thing in the frozen North, so this is definitely not a diet cookbook. That said, there are plenty of recipes which do not put consumers at risk of instant heart attack.

There are a number of real gems in here, including a lot of special breakfast dishes among the recipes, as one might expect from a book representing a lot of B&Bs. Many of them can be put together the night before and just cooked in the morning (Heavenly French Custard, Freezer French Toast, a wide variety of Strata recipes) and most of them would be really great for a Sunday brunch.

My current nomination for the best recipe in the book is Halibut Surprise, p. 134. I've made this for a number of potlucks since I found it. The first time EVERY adult at the meal asked for the recipe. Since then it's just been the ones who haven't already gotten it from me. This is an incredibly easy recipe to make, you can use halibut, salmon, shrimp, or crab (fresh king crab is awesome), and people will think you are an amazing cook. You can put it together before guests arrive; it doesn't need to be hovered over while cooking -- all in all, great for entertaining. Probably worth buying the book just for that!

A lot of the recipes feature local specialities, but only of the sort which can be obtained in local supermarkets in the Lower 48 (I'm not saying it'll be just as good as using fresh halibut or Copper River reds, folks, but it will still be good). Unlike most Alaska cookbooks, this one has no recipes for moose or caribou. About the only ingredient that might be hard to find is fiddlehead ferns, but they can be mail ordered in cans if you can't get fresh.

My grandparents were Danish settlers in the area of Fort McMurray Alberta. I grew up in the same area, and even though I live in Wisconsin now, the region is a fascinating combination of resources, colorful personalities and changing economic times. As this book shows, a railway or a refinery can change an area forever. It has helped me to understand my origins. Recommended.

Most inventively, Tremblay sets the same character, Albertine, at five distinc periods of her life. Thus, five actresses will each play Albertine at a certain age and react with one another. This idea alone is worth the price, but has genuine directions takes place and crafted acting moves-in, the hidden textual pearls of wisdom will remind you that the ones who think only Shakespear had genius are trully insignificant snobs. (and I taught they were all guillotined in 1789. Best of all, the text and ideas brought forward are as universal as can be. Glenn St-Yves

This book gives a glimpse into Newfoundland culture, as well as engaging (sometimes playfully) with issues of feminism and nationalism. Some of the poems reflect the natural world of Newfoundland. The author strives for a musical line in her free verse lyrics...also for irony often. This is poetry that honours sound, revels in word-music.

This book, like its predecessors (The Almanac of American Politics and the Almanac of British Politics) contains information on every federal riding (district) in Canada, including a wealth of political and demographic data. True political junkies will love it as well serious students of Canadian politics. This isn't a book you read -- you flip it open and dive in

When I was visiting Port Angeles Washington around March of 2000 I was sitting overlooking the Juan De Fuca which is a body of water about 20 miles wide which seperates the USA and Canada. You can barely make out Canada over the sea. Canadian radio would come over to Port Angeles and it was during this moment of relaxation that I first heard of Eric Wright. He gave an interview about his newly released book Always Give a Penny to a Blind Man. It's about his childhood in London in the 1930's and his struggles and eventual immigration to Canada. I'm not sure exactly why I found it so fascinating but the way he tells this story is wonderful. Perhaps because it's so entirely human. Like an Oliver Twist story this is a bigger than life story of someones ordinary life experience. If you come from the uk and now live in the USA, Canada or Australia, you would probably find that this book will lead you down a path of self discovery that you may have long forgotten over the years. It might shake you up. The characters come to life and touch you.

This is the most useful reference on the subject of counterstamped/countermarked coins by far. Gregory Brunk being a self proclaimed authority on the subject can be contacted with new information on new discovers. His book is excellent and when you can find it, it's well worth buying.

The editors are well known scholars specializing in the intelligence history of the period since 1940 with additional forays into the earlier periods. This is a gathering of essays by various specialist academics in the period. Thus assuming one has an interest in the subjects the editors assume that the general background of the subjects discussed are already known to the reader. Anglo American SIGINT, the OSS/SOE connection, the Venona intercepts and the unmasking of Alger Hiss, Harry Dexter White, and the defection of Igor Gouzenko are just some of the subjects analyzed in depth herein. This is a book for the specialist, not for the general reader, as are most of the publisher's works.
