This book is a Bible of food preservation, yet isn't 500 pages long! Gives instructions with helpful tips, as well as a huge alphabetical listing of just about every edible vegetable and fruit, and how to preserve it.

I cannot vouch for the book, having just learned of it's publication, but I sat in the author's classes years ago and can say with utter sincerity that Professor Michalak is one of the finest, most erudite, original and irrerverent political scientists I have had the fortune to meet.

During my introductory electronics course I studied from both Sedra/Smith and this text. In my opinion, Burns and Bond is a better text. The incorporation of SPICE in Burns/Bond gives valuable insight in the design of electronic circuits. The Burns/Bond text is also more straightforward than Sedra/Smith. The presentation style of some topics in Sedra/Smith makes them difficult to learn. This is not the case in Burns/Bond. This is an excellent text

"Principles of Paleontology" remains the finest introductory academic text to paleontology, written by two of the foremost paleontologists in the latter half of the 20th Century. It may be of interest too to historians and philosophers of science since the book reflects paleontology's emergence as a quantitative science shaped by recent advances in systematic biology and theoretical ecology. David Raup, now professor emeritus of geophysical sciences at the University of Chicago, was probably the paleontologist most responsible for paleontology's emergence as a quantitative science; his research covered many aspects of theoretical paleontology from analyzing shell morphology to measuring evolutionary rates. Steven M. Stanley, still a professor of geology at Johns Hopkins University, is noted for his research on the functional morphology of mollusk shells, measuring evolutionary rates, and introducing the concept of "Species Selection".

Raup's and Stanley's text covers all aspects of paleontology from preservation and the fossil record to functional morphology, biostratigraphy, paleoecology, and macroevolution. Of special note to historians of science is the considerable attention that they devoted to then recent advances in community and population ecology, such as the MacArthur-Wilson theory of equilibrium island biogeography. Admittedly, much of the book emphasizes invertebrate paleontology, though some attention is devoted too to paleobotany and vertebrate paleontology.

Simply: excellent. The most comprehensive book about prions that I've read up to now. Easy to read, since it contains extremely few mistakes, all of them having to do with the layout, not the contents.

As a profesional working on a University and write about European prisons I found this book reaaly helpful. It provides the new data for scientific researches, however for me there is not enough reference concerning some of the topics. If someone is interested in finding information about American prisons system this is the right book. It has only one bad point - the book is too short but for people not working in this subject it is ok.

Ann your book has inspired me to start my own pageant system for Latina women and teens. Your step by step guide has made my job as Executive Director smooth. Everyone I run into in the Pageant system I hear behind my back "watch out for him, he's good!!!" I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart

This volume, which has been reviewed quite widely, is an excellent contribution to understanding the nature of the conflict in ES and the kind of social trade offs elites made to stay in power. A really useful addition to military in LA studies, revolution studies and of course required for those engaged in the question for ES development

Updated for 1999 with something new in most every chapter

Rev. Wood brings the Psalms alive with this insightful and spiritually rich commentary on this much loved book of the Bible. Each chapter presents one psalm with full text and insightful and inspirational commentary and illustration. I gave it to my wife for Christmas last year and she has enjoyed using it as a daily devotional.
