Though this book proved to be helpful when we first bought our new crean point, what struck me is that it doesn't discuss most of the details of cat owning nor does it really give detailed descriptions of illness. We had never had a cat before. How would we know if the darned thing is sick when we bring it home? This book was supposed to help with that, but it only skims illnesses in kittens and cats and spends most of the time discussing showing your new Himalayan. Anyone reading this would be reading it for help on training, diet suggestions and just basic "Cats for Dummies" sort of stuff. While it does offer excellent photos of rare cats and features extra glossy pages making it fun to flip through, it needs more of a point. So Himalayans throw up when they eat grass, any cat will. tell me something I wouldn't know that is unique to long haired or Himalayan cats and kittens, like the watery eyes and constant infections. How to deal with fleas and ticks and how to tell worms would have been nice if they were just doing a a generalized book, but in most aspects you know nothing more on completing this than you did before. It will probably confuse you and make you wonder "Why did they even bother?"

everything you need to know is here.
a lot of love for your cats, and this book, and you're all set.

This little book is jammed full of insightful ways to bring teaching the Bible to life for learners. I especially enjoyed the "Teaching Lab Activities" which are designed to help the teacher develop skills and to illustrate important points for learners. This compact volume could easily be overlooked, but it is such a gem that every teacher should own a copy!

This is the best book I've read in a long time. "How to Teach the Bible" provides practical tools and reinforces our calling as Christians to help others learn about God's Word. The author's style is easy and straightforward, but his words impart rare wisdom and insight into the challenging task of Bible teaching. Thank you, Dr. Coleman, for allowing God to work through you to create this tremendous resource.

Excellent reference on Japanese Science and Technology. Particularly good coverage of Japan's technology transfer process.

The full title is Japanese Science: From the Inside.

This book offers an insightful view into the organisation and process of Japanese bioscience. However, its value goes well beyond its stated area of interest. The issues raised are relevant to any scientific enterprise in any country. Given the rather sparse literature on management of science, this book offers valuable insights that appear to be generally unknown to most who embark on reorganisation of a scientific enterprise. Unlike many texts on organisation and management, this book is itself a product of science; in this case of the science of Anthropology. The insights developed here are drawn from interviews with members of the Japanese scientific community. The result is a conceptualisation of issues that are relevant in all other areas of science. It is not that we all have the same concerns as Japanese bio-scientists but that issues raised here are relevant to how we might assess a scientific organisation and the ways in which we might adjust that organisation to enhance quality and productivity. This book is well organised and well written. It is interesting (even enjoyable) and you do not have to be an anthropologist to read it or appreciate it. Above all, I believe it will provoke thought.

Science organisation and science management are particular issues for me. If you can recommend other books that offer valuable insights in this area please email me..................

This book is the most valuable title of the subject. In no other publication so many countries are compiled in one book. The piano arrangements are neither for absolute beginners nor for thorough professionals, and also the layout looks desirable. Although the quality of the scores varies, each of the tracks will definitely please you. Although this is the book's 8th edition and it always tries to be as up to date as possible, the most interesting (the new) countries of the world are missing. But anyway: if you are or if you want to be a professional in that topic, buy this book, you will never regret it!

This is a great book although many will be turned off by the price, It is worth the money IF this is a topic of interest to you.

The arrangements for the anthems also contain original romanized lyrics for them plus a translation into English

The book provides an exceptional overview of the state of life in Roscommon in the period just prior to, and during, the famine years.It is, as usual with Maynooth Studies, well researched and chock full of statistics. Particularly interesting to me was the evolution and data relative to "Whiteboy" and Molly McGuire activity in Roscommon and environs.

I bought this book exclusively to research some social and historical characteristics of County Roscommon Ireland in the early 19th Century. My ancestors lived there around the time period on which the book is focused. This gave me a lot of helpful information in understanding why my ancestors may have left Ireland in those days to come to America. But I am not a scholar. So I wasn't afraid to keep a dictionary nearby as I read this well-written soft cover book.

Tightly written allegory with enough adventure to keep even junior high boys interested, yet enough detail and imagery for adults. The book was absorbing and challenging; delightful to read without talking down to the reader! I'm planning on using it to teach my 7-9 graders how to analyze, interpret, etc.

The book The Shining Sword never gets old. Its combination of good characters, exciting plot, and griping action make it a simply good book. But the aplication for the Christian life is amazing and cannot be forgoten. The book is and has been a help in many times of need. Based soley on the Bible and strong Christian teaching, the book can help Christians walk after God, and non-believers find the King who loves them so. It explains Jesus and the powers of evil beautifuly and easy to understand. Yes, so may say its a kids book, and it might be aimed for them in writing style, but, much like the Chronicals of Narnia, it is very aplicaple for the adult Christian.

I found this book highly insightful and would recommend it for any philosophy/logic course in higher education. I did find that the online companion []slightly grating in its' acceptance of certain grammar and punctuation. This aside, I would recommend the book as a whole to anyone interested. It runs the gamut from formal to informal, and adds mighty descriptors of the information along the way. One point deduction for the companion site functionality that this book uses. The book by itself is easy to grasp with enough toughies to keep the average logic student going. I highly recommend it.

As a college philosophy teacher I have tried many textbooks for teaching informal logic. I am very happy with this book. It presents the material thoroughly and clearly and has tons of useful exercises. I don't need the chapters on symbolic logic for the course I teach, but the material on informal and Aristotelian logic is working very nicely. The publisher maintains an interactive website with additional exercises and review material for students. My students use it and appreciate it.

This is one of my favourite Internet Detective Books, and I've read up to #8. The plot was extremely well put together. The only thing wrong with it was, Mitch didn't go to a theme park! Poor old Mitch, he gets left out too much! Next time, Mr. Coleman, give Mitch some excitement. The only book he does anything good in is "Speed Surf". By the way, Josh is my favourite character, not Mitch. I just want to see justice served!

This book was great! This is how it starts: AN OPEN LETTER TO PLANET EXCITEMENT CORPORATION And so vacation time begins. During the next few weeks, many people will visit your attractions througout the world. THEY WILL BE IN GREAT DANGER.... Icarus

That's the blackmail threat. Is it a hoax? Or will famous theme-park rides really start to become death traps? As they head off on their theme-park vacation, Josh Allan, Tamsyn Smith, and Rob Zanelli hope it's a hoax. But a frightening incident proves it's not. With the help of their friends on the Net, the must find the unknown blackmailer-before someone gets killed....Oh, yeah. Tom and Josh meet each other. It's a long story as Josh said in the book. Also, is this the end of Internet Detectives? This series is really short then! There are only 5 books in it! I hope there will be more books. Because usually in the back, it tells what the next book will be about. But this time they didn't....They also put in the back cover: Surf all the titles in INTERNET DETECTIVES for more cybermysteries! But they usually put the next title....

This is a novel set in the heart of America, the Ohio valley, during the tumultuous 60's. The characters are homespun trailer park folk and the background is a tapestry of rhythmn and blues, rock and roll, incense, patchouli oil, Elvis, and blue jeans worn too tight.

The book starts off with a bang (Son's mother is stalked by space aliens). Along the way the reader is treated to lower class hysteria, white bread and processed sausages, cheap 3.2 beer drunk by women who live half their lives in hair curlers and bath robes, teens bursting with pimples, makeup and hormones, back seat sex, America high school dating practices and the inside of your average, not overly healthy or overly motivated teenage mind.

There are a few hilarious characters, such as Tonya's mother, who lets the neighborhood kids covene at her house to smoke cigarettes, drink the occasional beer and neck while she looks the other way. Tonya's mom even takes Tonya and her boyfriend around the block once or twice, after picking them up at school, so that they can get in some "startime" from the back seat. Tonya's Mom monitors the teenage lovers from the front seat: "Now it's time to come up for air, you two. I want to see some faces. Okay Diver Dan, it's time to come up for air," or, in a less restrictive mode, "Did you see the big dipper yet?" Another one is Candy, a sex appeal oozing, rhythmn and blues listening trailer park denizen, from whom the son (and this reviewer as well) learns the art of creating and getting into the world's tightest pair of jeans.

In all, a very good book to which every person almost old enough (and old enough) to get drafted and sent to Vietnam can relate, not to mention those who simply value or are curious about American culture and lifestyle, circa 1960.

It's lively. It's present. Like a play- jabs me immediately into the situation. Fast. Tight. Bang. Bang. Right into the movie set. Reminds me of "Even Cowgirls Get the Blues". Cutting edge. There's a host of characters, an American setting- the kind of home which doesn't make the cover of Chatelaine. A troubled family. Trailer Parks. Only in America. Coleman has mined this territory and the offbeat people who inhabit these colourful dwellings on the fringes of society and set it all against the crazy weird and pulsating backdrop of the late sisxties when life was lived on the edge like it was one long and endless acid trip. Our main heroes, "the son" and his sidekick Bo, are products of Adolf's Trailer Park in East Morton, mifits of this subculture. Characters are alive and their personalities leap off the page. Coleman has flair. They are illuminated. Besides creating scenes where images are heightened visually, and emotionally alive and electric, Coleman has an inherent natural verbal capacity for vocabulary and a talent for dialogue. He shines both here and in his ability to create suspension. It's not just sex, drugs and rock and roll, it's social re-creation and documentation, it's comedy, a good read and a good novel.
