Having the brilliant, healing work of Julia Cameron boiled down and packaged into a portable book is divine. You can carry her words of wisdom with you everywhere and read on any topic for instant reflection and inspiration. What an excellent idea for those walking "The Artist's Way" path. These meditations are necessary for the journey of all artists.

This is the document of a poet consecrating himself to memory. His attempt to maintain perspective; his aesthetic self objectification that is repeatedly shattered when he looks into society; his Catholocism, his ennui, his mistress, his mother...all these cast a definitely "intimate" hue to the pages that are essential for any reader wishing to come to terms with Baudelaire's psyche: to see why his self-destruction was inseparable from his creations. For they were both necessary symptoms of his sensibility - an immaculately modern sensibility. The fragmented nature of the writings prevents the work from actually being a "work" - it is more like an authentic gesture, an unpremeditated act of self revelation. A fascinating and ultimately harrowing document from a poet - nothing more.

Peter J. Cameron's "Introduction to Algebra" is exactly that, an introduction to algebra and a good one at that. I must confess that before reading this book had a very limited knowledge of abstract algebra however with a little bit of time and effort I am now quite comfertable with the subject thanks to this book.

"Algebra" is divided into a 8 sections:
1) Set Theory and Relation Theory
2) Ring Theory
3) Group Theory
4) Vector Spaces
5) Modules
6) Numbers
7) More Rings and Groups
8) Galois theory and coding theory

This book succeeds by having an interesting writing style, not being dry, and at the same time being very rigorous. The rigor is always present and all proofs are carefully developed however the "feel" of the subject is never lost as Cameron strives to help the reader grasp the "shape" of the algebraic structures that he introduces.

This book has a slightly wider scope than many introductory algebra books however it succeeds in covering all of its topics well although the sections on category theory and algebraic geometry are only a page or two long and thus are only present to whet the reader's interest. In addition, Cameron motivates the discussions by drawing the topics together in the end in the applications chapter. This chapter covers the basics of the commonly known Galois theory and the less covered Coding theory which is one of the backbones of the internet.

Final: Buy this book for a good introduction. I have borrowed a number of other introductory books from the university up the hill but this one was the clearest for me.

Students of Human paleoanthropology should look no further for complete synthesis of anatomical aspects that are proprietary to Hominids-because not only that full treatment is provided on such topics as diachronic trends in qualitative and quantitive development in anatomical features, but recapitulation that contains basic standards of anatomical reporting,complete terminology and also,with full recognition that one important propertes of locomotory system is in its mechanisms for body movement,so that this is not only descriptive work,but one that contains detailed account on anatomical pecularities of Human ancestors,thus providing non-analogues perspective on subject,in full recognition that it is sometimes wrong to accept uncriticaly paralels with modern Humans.Also,some histological aspects are mentioned.This book will provide students with full account on subject of evolutionary anatomy,perhaps one that could became most easily dull,descriptive work under some other concepts,but instead is excelently and logicaly organised textbook.

Dr. Cameron S. White has pierced the darkness that too often envelopes social studies education with his new book "Issues in Social Studies: Voices from the Classroom." White's clarity of prose and keen depiction of issues centered curriculum as it is lived in the social studies classroom illustrates how the transformative power of critical constructivist thought and action can impact teaching and learning. If you are a social studies educator dedicated to thinking and teaching outside of the box in order to assist your students in thinking and learning outside of the box, then "Voices" is a book in which you must read, reflect and respond.

I am currently doing a course that requires me to read scripts and to make the exercise more enjoyable, have chosen to read scripts of movies I love and by people I admire - namely Mr Cameron Crowe. As well as being the script from the movie there are two added bonuses to this edition - included is Jerry Maguire's Mission Statement (which started the whole ball rolling for the film) and also a commentary by Cameron Crowe at the start of the book giving details of how the idea for the film came about; his research and how long it took to write the script; casting (the insights into the casting are very interesting); and his failed attempts to get Billy Wilder to play Dicky Fox, Jerry Maguire's mentor.

Reading scripts to movies always gives a deeper insight to the characters and the plot of the story and this is no exception. It is also helped by Cameron Crowe's notes at the start and his description of how Tom Cruise approached the part of Jerry Maguire.

If you are a film buff and enjoy this movie you will enjoy the script.

Before I read this I was under the impression that Jimmy Shand was a shy and retiring man, however it seems that his love of motorbikes was just as passionate as his love of music.

Scottish Country Dance music was my "bread and butter" as a child and this booked hightened that for me.

A great book for all to read.......Not to be missed!

This book has rich amount of protocols,which lead you correct therapy.As Johns Hopkins is one of the leaders of Cardiac surgery,you can touch knowledge of them

Although I am considerably beyond the "young adult"
target audience for Clarence Cameron's book, I found
it captivating, exhaustively researched, and extremely
well-written. I'm reconvinced as an environmentalist.

There were so many wonderful "Ahhh's" and "That's where that feeling came from", in this book that I felt sorry to actually run out of pages at the end. It feels as though you are listening to long-forgotten,loving friends, when reading what Cameron and Carole had to impart. It felt like being....home. I can hardly wait for Carole to get the next one out in this series, even though my limited brain can't imagine to what new heights she could take us.
