I want to review the part of modeling!

I'll be the first to admit I'm not a domestic-princess, particularly in the culinary arts... but this is so much more than a cookbook. This is an entertaining discussion of how food is so much a part of our lives!

You'll find lots of photographs and many amusing anecdotes about how food warms our hearts as well as our stomachs. If you've never "read" a cookbook, then this is the one to begin with ~ you will LOVE it!

Oh yes, and there ARE lots of recipes and hints - for a beginner or a seasoned cook - nicely categorized and waiting for you and your family's tastebuds.

This is an amazing product! I bought it because I needed training in AutoCAD 3D and in VIZ. Both products are on a single CD which never leaves my drive now. First I used it for training, now I use I use it for reference. MUCH better than the manuals. This company's technical support is good too. Very friendly and supportive.

I have recently adopted this text for my courses and would recommend it without hesitation. I simply haven't seen any cd-based training tutorials or books on this or similar topics that are as comprehensive in material coverage that are also as logically formatted and as easy to use. This training package is a winner.

Wow! This is really complete. It covers commands for drawing and editing, as well as plotting, 3D and customziing menus. Real drawings too - not boxes and circles and lines. I highly recommend this CD for new AutoCAD users.

Covers beginning and advanced skills - First you learn to draw then you learn to modify objects - then scale and dimension them and print them. Lots of 3d tutorials - more than I needed actually. Had a couple of easy autolisp projects too. All the customization stuff was easy - menus, toolbars, etc. This isn't a good CD if you want really advanced programming thigns. Also, there's no sound or animation on this CD. That's why its [inexpensive]. But the tutorials are really long and the pictures are big, and you can print the pages if you want. Its all tutorials, by the way. All practical, hands on stuff, no theory. Has a really good index so you can find tutorials on specific things like setting up a plotter or whatever. Good solid training product.

What can be said? He's a great mind, and this is challenging and beautiful stuff. Bacon's got a lot of foresight, and he puts in a lot of substantial points on the way to his outline of a new method for science. This edition of the book is a bit flimsy, but the translation is good (it's taken from an earlier, canonized translation).

This book is not only educational, but its fun for kids to read. This book focuses on fire safety and how a smoke detector saved a families life. This is definately a book that should be kept by the nightstand. Jim Laster did such an excellent job. All three of his books are excellent!

Blueprint gives actual floor plans, elevations (the side view of a house), plausable building codes discussing easements, utilities, lot size, energy considerations, ease of movement, and measurement. I will be using this book for my Architecture Club (although I don't know the first thing about architecture) for the D.A.R.E. PLUS (playing and learning under supervision)program at my school over the coming ten weeks. This book gives you everything you need except the materials, which aren't numerous. The directions are very explicit. If you have good classroom management and your students can measure, count, and multiply, I strongly suggest this book as a wonderful unit. This book is a group of opportunities for authentic assessment tasks in the disguise of fun cooperative activities! I highly recommend this book as it incorporates logic, reasoning, and problem solving into a real-life situation. This book also answers the question of "When are we ever gonna use this stuff?" This is the sort of unit that we dream of creating or finding. My students and I can't wait for the program to begin!

Bob Fulton is a boy inventor. His latest invention is something he calls the Soda Pop Stretcher, which is able to turn 1 bottle of soda into about 50 (that is, with the help of some miscellaneous ingredients, plenty of water and 50 pounds of sugar!). He's the most popular kid in his neighborhood until the Stretcher unexpectedly explodes, coating the inside of the garage with sticky, foul-smelling goo!!

Bob's father, a delightfully ridiculous character who is the town's ferryboat captain (he wears an eye patch over his perfectly good eye, stomps around on his healthy left leg like he's got a peg leg and is fond of whale blubber steaks and hardtack), decides that enough is enough. Bob should clean up the mess, give up inventing and join him on the ferryboat for the rest of the summer.

However, this book is subtitled "An International Spy Story", and it doesn't take long for Bob to discover something interesting about the gummy goo from his blown-apart pop stretcher: it totally eliminates friction! This means that any machine parts it's applied to (his sister's bicycle, for example-it was in the garage when the pop stretcher went kablooie) now will run practically by itself because the slowing effects of friction have been eliminated. Once this substance-called Ingredient Zeta-reaches the local scientific research community, it's only a matter of time before sneaky, international spies are hot to get their hands on some of the good stuff!

I was first turned on to this book back in the late 70's in fifth grade when a girl I had a crush on presented it to the class as a book report. Out of loyalty to her (or perhaps so we'd have something mutual to talk about), I read it and was immediately hooked. I have reread it about 8 or 10 times more since then, enjoying it more and more each time.

Bob's adventure starts off innocently enough (if you can call an explosion in the garage "innocent"!!), but soon he's embroiled in groundbreaking research in physics with a professor who speaks about 30 different languages...at the same time! Soon spies are lurking about the house trying to steal the secret formula, the science research lab is constructing a HUGE model of the stretcher, the world goes through a sudden sugar crisis, and automobile manufactures are in a panic because cars will no longer wear out!! (this was a wonderfully funny touch that, as a child, I had totally missed).

"Bob Fulton..." is, of course, out of print. This is a terrible shame because it's as funny and gripping NOW, in 2001, as it was back in the 70's at the time of its publication. Somehow it got unfairly passed by while other great works from that time period went on to be printed over and over again. It's an easy read, a great choice for intermediate readers, and with an explosion within the first 15-odd pages, it's sure to hook even reluctant readers in!! Highly recommended; track this one down!!
