The information presented in this book, is like its style and presentation, simple, immediately accessible and implementable.

The book may not apply to highly trained and experienced web designers, but will serve as a terrific information source for non-ICT people that need to get an immediate grasp of the key concepts, the terminology, the possible applications and ultimately in implementing the strategies and ideas.

This is a terrific, and ongoing introduction into this important area of website marketing.

I often fantasize about going back in time and attending conference proceedings I've missed. Shelter Island comes to mind, the first Pugwash. Feynman, am I sorry I missed this one. I like this one so damned much that I sacrificed my copy to my junior genius at Bohr in Copenhagen. I am an idiot. That copy had all my notes.

Hay, the young Assistant Presidential Secretary, was like a son to Lincoln. The President, in the diary often affectionately and irreverently referred to as "The Tycoon", relaxed around Hay as around few others, giving the diarist an insight into the character of Lincoln which is almost unique. This alone would make the book worthwhile, but Hay's views on other personalities and events of those dramatic days are also valuable, and engagingly written.
Hay's diary has been published before, but incomplete and poorly edited. This is the first complete edition, with all the entries restored and with extensive explanatory notes, which are necesary to follow Hay's refernces to obscure persons and events.
Essential for the Lincoln scholar and highly recommended for anyone's Civil War shelf.

This book is great. I was a biology major at MIT and I couldn't tell you how many lectures for my classes seemed to come write out of the book. It's certainly not enough to use by itself, but it's a great way to focus the information either prior to a lecture or even prior to a test.

Although this book is, by the standards of technical progress these days, "old," it remains flawless in describing not only what was known then, but what remains the bulk of biocatalytic theory and practice now.

Since this synthetic approach has already demonstrated itself to be a cornerstone of so many industries (particularly the pharmaceutical industry) -- and since so many people don't know much about it and yet *fear* it, an understanding such as this book gives could not be more important to everyone -- especially scientists.

The author of this book succeeded in scoring a bullseye on a fast-moving target! Anyone interested in the chemistry of the future -- the chemistry that *already* is essential for perhaps most of our latest drugs should get this book.

One final kudo for this book: it's price is reasonable! Compare it to similar books on technical subjects. This kind of thing usually costs three or four times what this one does.

This book is the most accessible, informative book on a subject that has so far eluded other authors if they meant to speak to anyone but their peers.

Get it. You will not be sorry.

needed so bad. as my handbook in this second college years learning industrial engineering. last year, i failed passing the subject.

Excellent book! Full of great stories and amazing art work. I have this book and I will never lose it. Taima

A brilliant volume of short stories dealing with multiple acts and varieties of violence and pain and how people deal with them. From the chilling "The Last of the Hapsburgs", which tells of the assaults on women's attempts to construct a zone of solidarity and non-competitive friendship, to the droll "The Chameleon Condition", that imagines how it would be if a philandering professor involuntarily displayed his responses to the world through changes in skin color, the volume ranges through anger to a wise appreciation of our efforts to erect bulwarks against the depradations of time and loss. Hospital's sharp and clever prose never meanders and each story manages to surprise and ring new changes on her basic themes.

This book is wonderful. Erin Turner does a great job in relaying California history from before it was California up to the 1980s. This book gives a historical account of important events in California's history that shaped California into what it is today. As a future teacher, I definitely recommend this book for classroom use and for anyone interested in California diverse history.

I just visited Jerusalem in March 2000. After I returned I read this book. Oh, do I wish I had read the book before I left or had the book to read in Jerusalem. We had a guide at $200 a day and he was not as good as this book. It is excellent to understand the present situation in the city. It gives great background on all the churches, etc that you view. It is a great historical guide, providing wonderful quotes from people who were visiting in 333 CE or 1800's or in the last few years. A must read if you plan on going to Jerusalem or obtaining a better understanding of the present political circumstances of the city.
