The City is grand. The book does an adequate job in describings sites and getting you around town. Was it the best book? It worked well for us although we were looking for more definitive 'must see's.

This is definitely not a beginning or low-intermediate student's text. The vocabulary lists for the chapters are long and contain technical terms, and the conversations are no simpler than the normal conversations of native English speakers. I ordered this book for a student who recently moved to the States, thinking that it provided a 'survival English' course, but although the themes have to do with survival--that is, living in and adjusting to U.S. Life (finding a place to live, opening a bank account, etc.), the vocabulary and conversations are not at the 'survival' level and I've had to spend time simplifying the conversations and providing extra exercises to reinforce all the material that's introduced in each chapter. The grammar explanations and exercises are simpler, but overall, the book is for more advanced speakers of English to learn what to say and do in certain practical situations they will encounter when settling down in the U.S.A., rather than for beginners to actually "learn English". The title is misleading. Under another title and aimed at an advanced audience, the practical information provided in the book would find an audience that would welcome it.

Winning the Memorial cup is probabally he most difficult trophy to win. You must win the playoffs of your own league and then
qualify for an eentual sudden death game to win the cup. If in the last game you meet a hot goaler you have no second chance.
This book takes us back to 1919 and proceeds in great detail
all the major events and games leading up to and including the championship games. It lists the rosters of all winners which
is great for a lot of the winners who for different reasons did not go on to play pro hockey or were never again part of a winning team. It should provoke discussions about who the greatest junior team of all time was or for some deciding the best in different eras. My personal choice is the 1969 Montreal
junior Canadiens led by Gilbert Perreault,Marc Tardif, Richard Martin and Andre Dupont followed closely by the 1964 Torontoi Marlboros led by Mike Walton , Wayne Carleton, Peter Stemkowski
Gary Dineen, Ron Ellis. The Marlboros DID lose one game in the eastern finals . In the book on page 129 the authors state that
the marlies swept N.D.G.and went undefeated throughout the Memorial Cup playoffs. In fact the N.D.G. team coached by the legendary Sotty Bowman beat the Marlies 6-4 at the Montreal
Forum in what probabally was one of the biggest upsets as well as being one of the greateest coaching jobs by Bowman which has
gone nearly undocumented. I'd love to hear from him on the subject.

This is a pretty good look at the lives of immigrants coming to America, for whatever reason that brought them there. It points out similarities in treatment among the different ethnic groups, as well as noting the differences in assimilation and access to opportunities.

There are essays at the end of each section, first person accounts of the lives of immigrants. These accounts make the book worthwhile.

The chapters themselves contain statistical information and items about discriminatory events and circumstances, employment and housing possibilities, and mentions the accomplishments and some well-known descendents of each immigrant group.

This is worth a read, especially for the student of the social sciences.

For 25 years Bill Henderson has been doing a noble thing with his Pushcart Prize Anthologies. Looking at the list of previous winners, you see quite an impressive list, and while not every writer of merit is represented, many are. I'm not familiar with the previous editions, but this year's selection seems a bit week. There are 40 poems, and like the entries in the 2001 Best American Poetry, they aren't the strongest choices. There are only three essays (one on apples--bad; one on Milton--great; and one by Seamus Heaney--ok), and you would think there would have been more in this selection. There are 24 pieces of fiction that range from the really bad to the pretty good. And then, a cross between the essay and fiction, there are 10 memoirs that also span the range. Looking at the contributing editors you'd think Henderson's choices could have been stronger. But we take what we have.

This book is just relevant to my courseand i want to prepaire my assignment and want to get good knopwledge. So its will be able to get good practice . Thanks

Overall the summoner 2 strategy guide is not a bad guide, but doesnt cover everything. When I buy a stategy guide I want it to have everything not just most of it.In this book there are no strategies for fighting bosses, no strategies for certain areas, and I have found several errors (10+). But the quest guides are extremely helpful ( most of the time).It doesnt even tell you how to build up your characters either (which to me is the most important part of the game!!).

this book is a good book for people who love to fix there cars and also for people who are in love with the VW Beetle.

Youth Leaving the Church was divided into several different aspects of why they are leaving and how to prevent it. It is filled with quotes, endnotes and scriptures from several different books in the Bible. Dr. Henderson brings up a point from the Bible that makes a good point if it works. "Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it"

There are many reasons given throughout this book, one of them that rings true to me and my situation was my parents never forced upon my attending church, like, my studies in school or respecting my elders. I wonder would I be more likely to venture into church more than I do now, if my parents had given me reason to go. The author also references how parents encourage children to entertain themselves with toys before prayer. It's sad to think there's a possibility that this might be true. What influences do children have to encourage them to go to church?

Youth Leaving the Church is a book for parents, teachers, and anyone who wants to help create greater values and a higher love of the lord within our youth.

There is nothing more frustrating than understanding the chapter, being able to follow the sample problems, and then not knowing where to begin on the actual problems. If you love nausea and headaches, then I recommend buying this book. If you have a soul (or a life) DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK!!! If you're thinking "Oh, I loved Physics in high school, let's give Engineering a try," then I dare you to open this book. Don't blame me when you seek relief by filling your stomach with pain-killers and your mouth with bullets. This book has single-handedly turned me off to the prospect of becoming an Engineer. I implore you, hire a tutor, switch to Political Science, whatever, just don't buy this book. You WILL be disappointed!

this books really needs more examples that aren't so vague and difficult to understand. They could really try and make it easier to understand in the literature aspect of the book to. The solutions manual absolutely SUCKS. This book does not help what so ever but does guarantee to confuse you. If you could find me a better solutions manual please let me know because I would like to order it. Thank You

I took to reading this book because I enjoyed the book on Statics by the same author. I was not disappointed, but I thought Dynamics was covered much better in Beer & Johnston.
