This is the most absurd book I have ever read- this guy tries to pass himself off as a "doctor", but he has NEVER even been licensed as a doctor ever! He needs to get a life and stop trying to fix other peoples- don't waste your money!

This book is so much better than those other dating guides! Some of those other ones encourage you to be something you're not (I can think of one in particular written by a couple of bored housewives) but this one shows you how to be yourself, only better! I would definitely recommend following this advice so you can have a healthy, long-lasting relationship!

Like many of P.B. Ellis' books, this volume is not as accurate as it seems. The linguistic information, in particular, is unreliable. For a few more dollars, you can have the much more reliable and more comprehensive _Dictionary of Celtic Mythology_ edited by James Mac Killop. It's worth the extra investment, no matter how strict your budget.

This is a very useful reference book for anyone studying Celtic mythology. It is comprehensive and its readability is enhanced by the clear and uncluttered design. Entries vary from names ("Manannan Mac Lir") to topics ("Ard Ri"), and provide succinct yet clear descriptions and histories. However, it is clear that choices have been made where space was limited or excessive material would detract from the readability. This is most notable in cases where the book says, "There are no fewer than seven persons of this name in Celtic mythology. However, the most notable is ...". Yet despite this minor shortcoming, this is one of the books I reach for first when I need to look up the details of some obscure Irish hero or monster.

All in all, this is an excellent book for getting a basic idea before embarking on a more detailed investigation.

The only thing this book is really good for is as a source of references and websites related to the topic. otherwise it is highly annoying as it's main purpose is to present to the reader the virtues of capitalism and the irreversible death of socialism. ellis manages to weave into his book his contempt for feminism and other movements in side sentences, despite the fact that these issues are far removed from the topic he is supposedly discussing. next time ellis writes a book i would wish that he would make his intentions more explicit, so people don't have to waste time sifting through ideological texts when they are in search of academic analysis.

Professor Ellis' "From Glasnost to the Internet" is a brillant work of political and philosophical analysis of how and why information has been used and abused by states and their bureaucracies in recent history. He traces the advent and the impact of the internet on states controled by ideologial systems, like the former Soviet Union, as well as the responses by western bureaucracies to the manifold changes being wrought by new information technologies. Professor Ellis' work is a masterful exegesis of human nature in all its' political guises and an intellectual defense of the most elemental of human freedoms: free and open communication. Worth the read.

At this point in time I am reading "Fundamentals of Cognitive Psychology" for a class that I am currently attending. My class is wonderful, but this book is very dry. I understand that the subject of cognitive psychology involves a lot of research and data and all this information is important to the study of this subject, but this book is very dry and personally boring. The whole book is a review of past research and analyzations of the subject and the author gives no thought of his own to the subject. If I wanted to know every little detail of every cognitive experiment I would look that exact experiment up. There is no basis of the book and it does not help me in the least little bit in my studies. The content is very dry and not attention holding. I would definately look into something else as far as books go if I wanted something interesting!!!

As an undergraduate TA, I became familiar with this book when my supervising professor chose it for her undergraduate learning and cognition course. The text presents detailed coverage of the topics in an accessible style. I disagree with the previous reviewer about the value of the discussion of previous experiments. By providing a discussion of selected experiments rather than an exhaustive survey of the empirical literature, the intricacies of problem solving activity in cognitive psychology are highlighted. The text uses a thematic approach throughout, and incorporates real world examples, case studies, and useful examples of experiments on specific topics. I found myself wishing that this text had been used in the cognition course that I had previously taken.

The original article by Ellis in the National Geographic was excellent and accurate as well. It seems most unfortunate that the detailed checking of facts that was used there was not applied to this book. Just two examples of many that could have been chosen: Ellis has Nefertiti looking into a glass mirror more than 2000 years before glass mirrors began to replace mirrors made of polished metal (page 9); in discussing fiber optical communication (page 96), he states that amplifiers are needed "to give lift to the light and prevent it from reverting back to electricity..." - of course the light merely weakens from absorption, leakage, and scattering, but always remains light. The color picture of the hanging Cage Cup is printed upside-down. And there are several places where he discusses so-called important break-throughs in fields where the discoverers have then gone on to do other things for various stated reasons. The real reasons were, of course, that these were not break-throughs but either dead ends or only self-advertised claims that did not really work. It is most unfortunate that experts in the field of each of the many and important topics covered were not asked to proof-read it, for then it would have been an excellent and accurate account.

An excellent book about glass and glass making. The reference to tektites--natural, extraterrestrial glass stones--is all too brief however (and inaccurate in scope). Author William S. Ellis fails to tell the whole story of the on-going--and most certainly unresolved--mystery of tektite origin! Oddly, both sides of the constroversy consider the problem solved. Reading "Glass," one would assume the "impact" side has won the debate. Not true at all! Ellis fails to mention one of the most credible theories of tektite origin: That is, that tektites appear to some geologists and astronomers (and some ceramic scientists)to be extraterrestrial volcanic glass, probably ejected during ancient silicic eruptions on the Moon. Also, the author fails to mention that tektite glass is far too "fined" to have been made in the near-instantaneous force of terrestrial meteorite impacts, as the mainstream "impact" scientists contend. The chemical trends in tektites are clearly igneous, not sedimentary as noted here and stated by the impact people.

If you want to drain your pocket, buy it! Otherwise, stay away of this

A great book for clinical medical students. Concise, clear and very readable. Helps in those few weeks before surgical finals.
Highly recommended to anyone who wants to know about everything there is to know for finals. I could never have survived without it.

You know, typically people don't make you pay to read their advertisements. This is an exception. Each of the self-serving articles in this book is followed by a 1-2 page advertisement for the author that, not surprising, offers a service to solve the problem outlined in the article. How convenient! This book is a glorified collection of vendor-sponsored white papers.

This book was a valuable resource. Many tid bits of info that can really make a big difference for your success.

I found this book a lot of fluff, and am quite disappointed that I actually spent money on it. I was taken in by the beautiful cover and lovely illustrations. It could have and should have been much more.

I am a contemporary woman who was given this book as a gift. It sat on my table for months until one night I read it from cover to cover. I found it delightful. It is light and entertaining with touching family memories, craft ideas and recipes. I have since purchased it for several friends.

Pillow Talk is a romance book by Patricia Ellis, it is about a guy named Jared Dalton and a lady named Kendall Arden, they are doctors working on a sleep and dream research project, soon the research centers on Kendall who's dreams always seem to come true and a attraction develops between Kendall and Jared. The book was good, it's not the best but I enjoyed reading it

I read this book and it was good but I don't think it's a book I would read again and isn't a keeper!

I like the basic premise. I even liked the story, and the love scenes were quite good, but I prefer something classier. MUCH classier, shall we say. You never know, when you purchase these, what you'll get. Another, similar e-book I bought was so excellent (and classy!) I couldn't go to bed until I'd read it all, and the next day, I couldn't get it off my mind. They don't cost much and are all worth a shot.

I enjoyed this book - it was way better than others I have read. This book isn't about having threesomes as the title would have you believe. It is more about a woman who is in love with two men and can't decide between the two. It has a happy ending, but I think that the author could have thrown in some threesomes and made it a little spicier!
