I felt the book was well written and had an enormous amount of information, however it was not applicable to the special education program I work in. Although I am commited to my profession, I do not have time to read whole chapters in class or during a break. I would have preferred a more teacher/parent friendly book in order to assist others with treatment planning whenever our occupational therapists are not involved with the classroom.

When I finished to read this book, I could get more clear concept about children's hand function. In this book, there is excellent detail information about anatomical basis, sensory, perception, cognition for hand development in the many kinds of children. I got many useful things which makes me to more understand children who I concerned as occupational therapist.

Having previously read "Netware Professional Reference" by Karanjit Siyan, I hoped this edition would follow in the same light. This book is a real help for network administrators as it gives good examples and solutions of day to day problems.

This book is designed as a reference not a study guide.This is one of the best Intranetware books I have read to date.

I have all of my "favorite places" marked for quick reference. The book is not organized to study for CNE exams. However, it has the information for Intranetware Network Administrators need for managing their networks. It contains a great index for quick look-ups.

Research findings in the field of software measurement are thoroughly reviewed. Both traditional and object-oriented product metrics are examined. Methods for determining the mathematical validity of metrics area assessed in the chapter on "A Rigorous Approach to Metrics". Intriguing presentation of cognitive complexity models including an analysis of programming tasks, code chunks, and code landscape.

First of all, this is a tough book to read. No doubt about it. Second, it is worth the effort. The book goes over metrics in general (like Fenton & Pfleeger) and then into program metrics for structural systems. It then compares many of the metrics proposed by other authors and compares them (this is the best part). Mr. Henderson-Sellers then proposes his own suite. What is great about this book is that if you don't agree with the author, other suites are listed (with references). Pick and choose your own metrics program. While the book is expensive for its size, chapter 6 alone is worth the money. It is not a how to, but more along the lines of an academic look at metrics. Don't get me wrong, this is NOT just a theory book. It can be applied. If you're looking at what metrics you want for OO, this book should be your pick.

After reading several books written by three Amigos, I find this book do the good job of teaching you how to develop OO systems using UML.

It distills the goodies of the OO Process chapter by chapter. Finally, two cases are used to illustrate the concepts and techniques presented.

Take this book if you want to equip yourself with OO technology

it looks like a good book and i think it will help little kids to go to bed.

There is no other living Scotsman who can claim more right (or privilege, as he would say himself) to reveal the living culture of the Scottish nation. He understands its sorrows and its glories and admits its shame. He provides an insight into the past and also a vision of the future if we dare to accept its challenge and cast of the debris of historical failures and outworn friendships. From the wartorn beaches of Italy to the machars of the Hebrides he has sung songs of freedom with long echoing times.

Having been a farmer for a large part of my life, I find this book extremely interesting. Just reading the table of contents is a Save The Earth hoot!

I found out from this book that there was a nation-wide meeting of alternative agriculture in Bloomington, Illinois (my neighborhood), twice around 1950. I bet those people are still here.

I look at trees being bull-dozed and farmland being given over to houses, & wonder... where is Mildred when we need her.

She did her best, I'm sure, and this book is a historical key to every American (US) alternative land use movement and organization there ever was up to about 1980.

Keys to the future. Read it.

This book will be extremely useful for those with a serious interest in the West Indian amphibian and reptile fauna -- i. e., beyond nice pictures and easy identification, two things it does NOT have. It gives details of distribution for each of the nearly 600 species known to 1991 (a number of species have been described since), including maps with locality dots. For each species there is a also a technical description (size, scale counts, etc.), a list of subspecies, if any, published references where illustrations can be found, and notes on the natural history. The distributional information and the notes on natural history are probably the most useful aspects of this book. It would have been much more useful to have a means of identifying the species. The technical descriptions will help some, but there is no way to know, if you have a specimen in the hand and read a description that seems to fit, whether there might not be a description that is a closer fit a few pages away; and often, with similar species the descriptions will not discriminate them, anyway. Based on distributions, you may be able to eliminate some species, and arrive at a tentative identification. You will also have to have a good background knowledge of what the genera are like. So, this book is not a field guide for the novice but an excellent reference for those with deeper interests.

Lois Henderson's son, David, was born blind. Another Way of Seeing is the story of how long it took her to find this out, how she and her husband adjusted to the shock, and how they helped Davey grow to be everything he could be.

This is a true story and a wonderful book. However, it is written from a naive point of view (as Lois herself admits in the new preface), so I felt it lacked some of the insights that might be helpful to others undergoing the same experience. Still, it is a beautiful story.

The problem with "The Birds" ("Ornithes") is that for once Aristophanes does not seem to be attacking some specific abuse in Athens. Still, we suspect that even this little fantasy is not simply escapist entertainment. Certainly there are those who see it as a political satire about the imperialistic dreams that resulted in the disastrous invasion of Sicily (which happened the year before his play was produced in 414 B.C.). Then again, this could just be Aristophanes bemoaning the decline of Athens.

Pisthetaerus ("Trusting") and Euelpides ("Hopeful") have grown tired of life in Athens and decide to build a utopia in the sky with the help of the birds, which they will name Necphelococcygia (which translates roughly as "Cloud Cuckoo Land"). Pisthetaerus and his feathered friends have to fight off those unworthy humans, malefactors and public nuisances all, who try and join their utopia. Then there are the gods, who come to make some sort of agreement with the new city because they have created a bottleneck for sacrifices coming from earth.

Because it is a more general satire, "The Birds" tends to work better with younger audiences than most comedies by Aristophanes. Besides, the chorus of birds lends itself to fantastic costumes, which is always a plus with young theater goers. In studying any of the Greek plays that remain it is important to I have always maintained that in studying Greek plays you want to know the dramatic conventions of these plays like the distinction between episodes and stasimons (scenes and songs), the "agon" (a formal debate on the crucial issue of the play), and the "parabasis" (in which the Chorus partially abandons its dramatic role and addresses the audience directly). Understanding these really enhances your enjoyment of the play.
