This is the appropriate source for non petrophycisists needing a quick catch up with the basic principles of well logging and well log interpretation. There are no unnecessary details on tools design and performance. There are many useful examples and some interesting case studies are also included. I recommend it to any geoscientist willing to understand the basics. An updated edition with last generation logs would make the fifth star.

Un libro muy práctico especialmente para aquellas personas que necesiten entender los principios básicos de evaluaciones petrofísicas sin profundizar en detalles innecesarios relativos al diseño y funcionamiento de las herramientas. Aunque algo desactualizado, el libro cubre la mayoría de los registros de pozos más importantes con explicaciones sencillas y ejemplos bien preparados.

I love the Beverly Hillbillies TV Show, I just love the down to earth, home spun, appeal of that show, and I thought the Beverly Hillbillies Movie remake was really cute and funny, I listened to the audio book recording of Todd Strasser's the Beverly Hillbillies Movie (based on the screenplay) and I really enjoyed listening to it! I have always liked Henry Gibson (Laugh-In and numerous movie and TV appearances, including Bio-Dome and Sabrina The Teenage Witch), and I was very pleased that he did the narration! The audio book is abridged and I enjoyed it so much I found myself wishing to hear the whole book on tape!

This book written by some of the best authors known in the field comprises a quite extensive overall view of biogeography, its fundaments, beginnings, divisions, schools and relatively new applications and inner relations with other sciences.It contains also a copy of the original zoogeographic regions map created by Wallace. This book resembles the whole biogeography curse taught in the Faculty of Sciences of the Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico, UNAM. which is quite exceptional and has the best scientists-profesors in Latin America. If you are looking for a "has it all" biogeography book this one is a must have for undergraduates and graduates students interested in comparative biology, systematics and distributions of taxa within time and space. The review has only four stars for strictly brand new additions of up to date biogeographical information are not included in this edition, yet, but for a three year old book it is a minor problem.

It has great tricks and sleights with cards. Some good closeup magic. Expalined very clearly. Good book to get if starting out into magic.

The authors tell the story of Dianne Masters in an interesting prose that will keep you entertained, which is necessary because the book is over 400 pages.

Apparently, this book was the basis for the 4-hour movie that periodically shows up on TV. While the movie presents a one sided view of Dianne Masters as the victim of her husband, Alan Masters, the book does point out some negative aspects of her life.

The biggest drawback of the book is the lack of access to anyone close to Alan Masters. Therefore, the author provides a rather shallow picture of Alan Master's viewpoint.

If you have seen the movie, the book does fill in many blanks left by the film and provides background information filmmakers leave out because of time restaints.

Bill Gibson's book would be great compliment to a book like the E-Myth Revisited. It gives entrepreneurs and executives street smart ideas and principles to survuve in tough and prosperous economic times.

The cover of the book deceives the reader and doesn't do the book justice - but once you crease the spine you'll keep it as a timeless reference guide.

This was the shot in the arm that I needed to get my business into gear - I give it a 4/5 because it's not quite as good as Bill's audio publications from Nightingale Conant, but definatley in my "must read" list for my coaching clients.

This book is fun. My six year old enjoys the reading games and can read portions of it. My two year old also enjoys the games making it a great combined bedtime story.

This book has proved to be quite valuable for me going through dental school. It is organized in a way that makes finding info very quick, and also is easy to read through the basics. Obviously, it is not a comprehensive review of any subject, and you SHOULD go to your primary texts. Also no oral path. But, it is a great book to just carry around in your early stages of your career. As a current 4th year, I find that I know most of the information it has, but it was very useful for 1+ years.

You start out wanting to like this author. She has a witty, humorous way with words, a reverence for the written word and a telling grasp of what distinguishes writers of various eras. Of Elizabethan dramatists, she writes, "Theirs is the word coining genius, as if thought plunged into a sea of words and came up dripping." She writes about Classical Greek damatists as one who understands what separates them from all writers who follow: "To understand him," she says of Aeschylus, "is is necessary to take that dangerous leap through the air without the support of words ... for words, when opposed to such a blast of meaning, must give out, must be blown astray..." For her, the best writing, whether that of a Greek or an Englishman, has a meaning that defies words, a meaning that we percieve in the mind -- without words. Coming down the centuries and pausing to consider Jane Austen, she captures the essential writer in terms that encourage and enlarge: "Think away the surface animation, the likeness to life, and there remains, to provide a deeper pleasure, an exquisite discriminaiton of human values." Along with her interest in the well known (she treats many more than the few mentioned here)she has a teasing regard for near greats and nobodies, whose seldom touched books rest in near oblivion. Of the memoirs of one, Laetitia Pilkington, she writes: "... the dust lies heavy on her tomb ... nobody has read her since early in the last century when a reader ... left off in the middle and marked her place with a faded list of goods and groceries." Nor is it just to have a chuckle that she looks at such relative unknowns, but to give us a look at their pained and frequently bereft lives. Laetitia Pilkington was badly used by men in her life. Woolf has a compassion for such women. You begin by wanting to like this woman who claims it's the common reader who makes or breaks an author. As you read on, you find yourself happily taken in and smiling at her wit, humor and insight.

This book gives anyone interested in the occult a brief description on everything from numberology to tarot cards. If you're intrested in the occult but it all seems like black cats and witches, this is the book for you. It even tells you how to do a tarot card reading with regular playing cards. Also covers the basics of palm reading, with plenty of drawings to make sure you're looking at the affection lines and not the opposition lines, no joke!
