We just bought this book due to our love of old houses and feel that old houses and outhouses go hand in hand. The photographs are wonderful and the writing is hilarious, yet informative. We are going to give this book to friends who also have an old house and a sense of humor. What a great book! By the way, it sits in our bathroom by the porcelain even though we do have an outhouse out back!

Captain Frelinghuysen, of the 5th Field Artillery Battalion of the U.S. 1st Infantry Division, was ambushed and captured by the Germans in North Africa in WWII. Arriving in a concentration camp in Italy in the dead of winter 1942, he refused to accept the defeat and apathy around him and began a self-imposed program of physical training and Italian, preparing himself for an opportunity to escape. His ordeal of seven weeks of fear, hunger, and cold, on foot in some of the most rugged terrain in Europe, ia good history and fine adventure reading as well. Better maps would make the action easier to follow.

This is the only book I carry, along with my Palm Pilot. It's got an algorithm for most dilemmas in medicine, all evidence based. I look forward to the next update on this book.

Laptop addicts, listen up! Erik B. Sherman shows us that a Pocket PC can do everything a laptop can do, and potentially save thousands of dollars in chiropractor bills in the process.

If your PC manual is too tech-oriented to understand or doesn't give you the low-down on how you can personally (and easily) program your Pocket PC to work best for your lifestyle, check out this amazing resource!

My Pocket PC was ten days and I was ten days frustrated before I located this book and CD combo that showed me how I can use my Pocket PC instead of a computer to compose documents and send them by both fax and email.

The book comes with a CD with many free applications, and now I use the Pocket PC to perform every laptop function. For writers, business people, and frequent travelers, I can't recommend this resource highly enough!

I thought this book was excellent. Lots of wounderful songs and lyrics. It is the best book a parent could buy fot their children. My daughter thought is was good.

Whether you're a new to electrical systems or a professional serviceman, there is valuable material here for you. The book starts with the basics of electrical circuits, wiring diagrams and test equipment. The liberal use of drawings and photographs clearly illustrates the theories set forth. The recommended test equipment is used and demonstrated consistently throughout the book. So, any user purchasing or owning similar devices will have a clear idea how to apply them when troubleshooting and maintaining an electrical system. The explanation of wiring diagrams, symbology and use in maintenance applications is very easy to follow. For the professional serviceman, the references to ABYC standards and practices is very informative. The chapter covering circuit protection and repair procedures gives significant insight as to what is or is not a good electrical connection! There are two chapters devoted to batteries and battery charging systems. This included the use of isolators, combiners, wiring schemes, hydrometer testing, load testing, alternator and shore power charging systems. Explanations are thorough enough to explain the workings of these systems for basic troubleshooting or selection of equipment for upgrades to systems. AC and DC devices aboard the boat are each covered in their own chapters. Installation considerations as well as troubleshooting are explained. Safety with AC systems is discussed at length. Again there are frequent references to the ABYC standards throughout. Finally the book wraps up with the chapter on electronic installations. Issues such as RFI, magnetic field interference, power, and basic physical considerations are included. For the boat owner interested in doing it themselves, or those that want a little more knowledge when dealing with servicemen, this book provides a solid base of theory and practical knowledge for both. All installation and maintenance explanations are given in the context of the ABYC standards. Therefore I highly recommend it as a book to have on the shelf for professionals as well.

This is one of the most comprehensive reviews of evaluations of policies designed to prevent crime available. Though now somewhat dated, each author in the book takes an area of criminal justice, reviews the evaluations available at that time, and reports those findings. If you want to know which programs work to prevent crime, as well as which programs do not, this is a handy reference to have. All criminal justice practitioners and policy makers should be required to read this work before implementing any new policies or programs designed to prevent crime.

Interested in reading books especially about Africa? Then this book is really marvellous for you. It has much of African content. Try it and you will never regret buying it. You'll probably enjoy reading it.

I have used the book in a variety of my educational administration classes including Introduction to Educational Leadership,The Principalship and Educational Administration Internship. The book provides the student with an opportunity to simulate many of the activities a principal typically engages in on the job. In addition, the In Basket Simulations, which are real scenarios, provide the student an opportunity to engage in problem analysis. The book serves to complement more traditional textbooks in educational administration.

Michael Kinter has presented the topic in a scientific yet enjoyable format. I found the information to be extremely interesting and beneficial in my laboratory. Lets face it folks this isn't the easiest nor most interesting topic to write about. Job well done DR. Kinter. I only have one criticism, there should have been more photos and illustrations. Get your copies quick this will no doubt be on the NewYork times best seller list before long.
