This book has several very interesting photos through the years...most, I've never even seen anywhere else; very, very little repetition to other books. Rare photos in the blue '70 jumpsuit with oriental trim, a rare photo in the white '69 karate gi, excellent photo in his '72 Conquistador suit, one of the best pics in the Burning Love red suit, Elvis in his funky western style mod cowboy garb (arriving in Houston for shows at the Dome in '70) etc. etc. Also has by far the best detailed photos I've ever seen of the orange target, bear claw, and aloha suits on display. Very neat room to room Gracelend pics. What a find. I absolutely love this book, among the best values around, too. Long live the King.

The editors, working within the framework of the COBUILD project, have put together an excellent study aid for advanced learners of English and for teachers of English as a foreign language. The departure point for this book was the 100 million word electronic corpus of texts of the COBUILD project. These texts, representative of the language, were analyzed for frequency of words and for their patterning. The grammar is the second main work which resulted from this initiative by Birmingham University and Collins, the other being a Dictionary. All the examples in the book are taken from this enormous database, and there are 'real' rather than made up to illustrate a point. The other useful feature is boxes of words that behave like the point under discussion. This allows users to 'do things' with the langauge rather than just understand it.

This book is a good introduction to wavelets and their statistical applications. The book gives an elementary introduction to wavelets, including filter-bank interpretations. Not very technically advanced from my point of view (PhD in harmonic analysis), but a good book nonetheless.

This is an excellent book. It was very useful to me. I use it whenever I want to write an essay or any other sort of opinions, and this book was great help.

This is a simple, easy to use book.

I really liked it!

A young man finds an extra nose, adding it to the one he has, and all of a sudden his world smells extra nice. He meets up with a boy who has no nose, and a twist of fate teaches the EXTRA NOSE an important lesson in sharing.

Roni Jay's Family Matters: Parenting Tips From The Business World is a serious, highly practical-minded guide and advisory for parents from a business point of view - a perspective well worth investigating, for when it comes to building cooperations and teamwork, negotiating, and managing interpersonal relations, both families and businesses have a lot in common. Packed with tips, tricks, and techniques for keeping control while teaching kids to be more responsible, Family Matters is wonderfully illustrated with Peaco Todd's lively cartoons and an excellent supplementary resource for personal reading lists and community parenting reference collections.

This book of photo essays on women and their families is not just lovely but totally absorbing! It caught my eye in a bookstore right away as a perfect Mother's Day present. Highly recommended.

Patrick continues to amaze me with his raw emotions and beautiful descriptions of life.

Todd McGowan has made a monumental contribution to our understanding of the canon controversies, and done it with an admirable and astonishing brevity and focus. The readings of particular authors, contextualized with respect to their moment of entry into the canon of literary studies (and with respect to a number of other interesting and provocative issues), are a model of what cultural studies can be, when undertaken by someone with an authentic concern for how literature functions vis-a-vis the social (symbolic) order . What should especially not be overlooked,in my opinion, is McGowan's immeasurable --and, again, marvellously condensed-- contribution to our understanding of the dilemma between essentialistic, rational, enlightenment-based notions of the self versus postmodern dissolution of the self into what are often celebrated by theorists (of all stripes) today under the banner of "multiple subject positions," or some related notion of "discursively-determined subjectivity" (see the last chapter for a terse tour-de-force critique of this dilemma). It must be stressed that McGowan's deployment of Lacanian concepts is not obscured by excessive jargon or mathematical abstractions. He not only wields such terminology with expertise, but makes psychoanalytic concepts intelligible and politically relevant. I highly recommend this excellent book.

This book is so great. I leave it in my car and take it into grocery and specialty shops as I look for hot sauces. I have a list of some of the sauces that I would love to find that were rated highly in the book. It is also hilarious reading even if you're not into hot sauces. And you better believe that my bird feeder has cayenne pepper in it now to ward off those pesky squirrels!
