This book is a necessity for any criminal defense lawyer. This contains the information police use in their training and procedure, as well as what to expect from an expert witness. Outstanding references after each chapter on where to find additional information as well as your own experts. Not as many illustrations as previous editions, but much more up to date material such as DNA testing and the background information so any lay person can understand what the experts are doing.

Sent Forth a Dove provides an insight into the first European ship recorded in history to visit Australia and the work by a team of people in Fremantle, Australia to build a replica of the ship. This book brings together little known parts of the Duyfken story, including background history of the Dutch East India Company (VOC). A good read for students of maritime history, shipbuilding and the Aboriginal history of Australia.

Seretse Khwama was the first president of Botswana but he was more than that. He was a chief who gave up his chieftanship to marry the woman he loved, he was a moralist who suffered through exile by England to uphold his principles and he was a pragmatist who lead his country through independance even with apartheid countries all around him.

Seretse was more than an amazing leader, he was an amazing person and this book is his story. It teaches you not only about Seretse but about Botswana as well.

I normaly do not read spy novels... but something about this book made me want to read it. I found it well written and rather realistic. I like that in a novel. George V. Henderson has a writing style that makes a book enjoyable, captivating yet easy to read. I would have to reccommend this book to anyone interested in a change of reading material.

A fun, witty book about an impersonator who gets "caught in a trap"--just like his idol. A lot of fun whether you're an Elvis fan or not (and I don't know which would find it funnier).

Great topic. But sometimes seems to read out of focus. I am not seminary educated, (in fact 4yrs of college was all I could stand). It appears it might be more directed toward the author's peers, versus the "everyday evangelist" - as myself. I work with a bunch of programmers (my peers) who are 20-30yrs old (I'm 40ish) - and I did find the book to be helpful in understanding a bit of their world view.

I kept a dictionary handy while reading this book - and found as I looked up the words that I don't hear in every day conversation, there could have been a half-dozen more effective ways to make the same statement. (Okay, so my vocabulary got stretched a little )

I did like how the author steps you through the case for Jesus' subversiveness (where's my dictionary?). I would like to have heard a little more on "Relating Christ to a New Generation...". Overall= good reading, interesting perspective on our culture, and reiteration on some solid truths.

The Terrible Truth About Third Grade is super! The main character is a girl named Battabe. Her real name is Jane. She makes up lies to make friends to. But she doesn't have any friends. So eventually none believes her lies. She doesn't do her homework. She even lies to her teacher to get out of trouble. But the teacher never believes her lies. She told the teacher she doesn't do the homework because she reads too much. So the homework was to make a book. The other kids didn't believe she wrote one. She read it in front of the class to prove it. Everyone liked it. A little girl named Susie made pictures to go with it. They showed the pictures to the teacher. I think you would like this book. And don't lie to make friends or get out of trouble. Just be your self!

Lilly Renfrew is a dutiful daughter and a not-too-hopeful spinster in San Francisco in the 1880's, but she is also a talented photographer. While taking pictures in the city's notorious Barbary Coast area, Lilly witnesses the murder of a prostitute she had befriended. Fleeing the murderer, she runs into (literally) Deegan Galloway, who hides her and saves her life.

Lilly is determined to see justice done and doesn't realize how much in harm's way she is putting herself. Deegan does. He had a former life in the Coast as Digger O'Rourke and he slips back into it to help and protect Lilly, even though he believes his past makes him unworthy of Lilly. She has her own doubts about fitting into what she perceives as Galloway's upper crust world. In addition, she must cope with invalid parents, an interfering sister, and an aloof brother.

This is a well written and, as best I can tell, well researched historical romance. Possibly Deegan and Lilly are a little too modern in their thinking, but I don't know that for a fact and it's a minor quibble. The main characters are very likable and many of the supporting characters are noteworthy as well. The villains are dastardly but believable.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and will look for other work by this author.

I'd reccomend this book to anyone wishing to construct homes to attract wildlife and enhance habitat. It is comprehensive with respect to species which nest on platforms and in boxes, and the plans are consise and easy to follow. There are also alternate designs for some species, based on how detailed you wish the construction. I have referenced this book several times over my years owning it, and the 7 or 8 pairs of wood ducks that return to my pond every spring are testament enough.

This book was a good overview, but leaves you with a lot of questions in the end. The title turned out to be misleading as well, since I read it and understood it in a couple of days, not twenty-one.

To summarize, the book was a good introduction to visual programming, and the visual aspect of Borland C++ Builder, but did not discuss any practical applications in any depth. I found that it discussed a lot of how to "drag here, click here, enter your code here", but did not cover on what code you could put and where.

I also found it somewhat lacking in covering the VCL and Events. For example, the book covered on the fact that you could create drag-and-drop events, but not how.

A good beginners book, but I felt it belonged more in the "For Dummies" series than in the TYI21D's series.

Teach Yourself Borland C++ Builder in 21 Days, is a thorough and fun book to learn C++ Builder. It will show you all the ins and outs, tips and tricks of learning VCL programming that other books cannot match. I am a self-taught, experienced Delphi programmer, who has read many books on VCL programming. If I had a book like this when learning Delphi, my bookshelf would contain a lot less books

Very cogent, very detailed, very well-written, this book is a must have for any serious Builder developer. The forays into language fundamentals, database programming, and Internet development are among the best I've seen. This version is targeted at C++Builder 1.0, but applies quite well to any version of the tool. I enjoyed this one immensely and commend Reisdorph and Henderson on their find work.
