The focus of each chapter is a distinct region of the British Isles. There are ample details of the routine patterns of weather and climate, as well as clear accounts of some severe weather events of the past century. The level of writing would suit the amateur, but there is also some more complex material where a background knowledge of key terms and the processes they represent would be helpful. There are clear summaries of weather types and a final section on climate change. The book is well illustrated and there are many tables of data to keep the number-crunchers happy. An invaluable teaching aid for schools and undergarduates in the UK and elsewhere, as well as the a challenging read for the amateur enthusiast.

This was my first Barbara Delinsky book I have read and I must say it was the best books I have read in a while. I really enjoy reading, but have not had much time for reading but after reading Rekindled I have found the time to read again. The combination of the two books, Flip Side of Yesterday and Lilac Awakening, into one book was an excellent choice. This was for sure a can't put it down book. I just couldn't wait to see what would happen next. This is the kind of book I hated to see end. Her emotionally powerful stories of love, commitment, loss, and betrayal was wonderful.

I became so caught up with the characters that I could not put the book down and read it in one weekend. Flip Side of Yesterday shows that sometimes life gives us a second chance to find the one thing we thought we'd lost forever. The darkest secrets are no match for the passions of a lover's heart, in Lilac Awakening.

I think that Selena is the best Tejano singer in the world. I think she is the best Singer now in 1999 even if she's not here.I am still dreaming of her. She makes me cry everytime i see the movie. That's why my mom never let's me watch it anymore i saw her movie like 29 times. Selena is the best singer and she is beautiful. I love the song Dreaming Of You cause that's when her last memories were and she said that's her favorite song to. I also like Where Did The Feeling Go because it is such a beautiful strong song. I like Biddi Biddi Bom Bom and more i also like her faimly they are very good for supporting her. I would love the family to be happy again Selena's faimly. She is the best Mexican American ever.

This book on sharks is very cool. It almost has all you wanted to know on sharks. Norman Barrett did not make a mistake on writeing this book.

Most residents feel that the storm may be the worst to strike New Orleans just before Mardi Gras in memory. To local attorney, Tubby Dubbonet, the downpour fits his mood as he down on cash and self-esteem. Adding to his misery is the fact that he has inadvertently ran into a trio of criminals planning a heist.

Willie La Rue and his cohorts figure that they can rob a bank and disappear into the hoopla and pageantry of Mardi Gras. The indolent Tubby, not known for his altruistic feelings towards anything but food, decides he must save his city from the invaders. However, the criminals know that the gauntlet has been thrown down and Tubby must be eliminated because he can identify each of them.

The fourth book in the "Tubby" series is by far the best of a very good collection. By caring for something besides his palette, Tubby seems more human and even a half decent individual. The forces of nature playing havoc with the city makes New Orleans feel genuine rather than the usual traveler's guide most novels set in the Big Easy seem to mirror. Amazingly, Tony Dunbar has done raised the bar, which he previously set at a very high of quality, on New Orleans mysteries. Though SHELTER FROM THE STORM is the elite of the lot, all the "Tubby" books are highly recommended for their humorous look at New Orleans.

An informative and well researched book written with several generations of local knowledge. Highly recommended for marine historians, shipwreck enthusiasts and sailors alike.

I realy liked the book as for the first time I have the chance to have a book with more illustrations and pictures and less words . The approach is very practical and there is also a chapter dealing with the equipment for surgery and great chapter for the post op and follow up. STRONGLY RECOMMENDED

This is a handy book with a summary and compendium of papers on inspections. The books traces the industry experience with inspections as mirrored in the technical papers published on the subject.

For those interested in an important best practice, this is an invaluable resource that is complementary to the standard books on the subject. I am particularly interested in the inspection of natural language requirements documents and found the papers in this area valuable. This book belongs with Demarco and Lister's book, Software State of the Art : Selected Papers by Tom Demarco, Timothy Lister, on any Software Engineer's bookshelf.
