... in that it introduces young cooks to the many different cusines around the world. Some of the recipes, like the sushi, may be difficult for a very young child but those are easily avoided with the raiting system next to each recipe. Also, adults can help kids with the hard parts. This book is a lot of fun!

I thought this book was very well written, just like the other aceit books. I used this book alone and passed with flying colors.

As the owner of a classic Mini (1964 Morris Mini Minor) and a 2002 BMW Mini, this book was an extremely satisfying read. While it provides background on the originial Mini (although not to the level of detail that one might find in The Complete Mini by Chris Rees or Essential Mini Cooper by Anders Ditlev Clausager), the bulk of its 95 pages is devoted to the development, manufacturing, and marketing of the new Mini. The text is crisp and concise and is nicely complemented by excellent colour photographs and copious diagrams. Especially interesting are the assembly line photographs that show Minis being manufactured. The book is not just a glorified advertisement for the new Mini. The chapter on driving the new Mini provide objective insights into the Mini's strengths and weaknesses. A few minor criticisms of this book include some sloppy editting. The photograph of Sir Alec Issigonis on page 10 indicates he is posing with a pair of Austin Minis when in fact anyone who knows anything about Minis can clearly tell the two cars in question carry Morris badging. In addition, the book focuses on the US market and ignores any unique approaches to marketing the Mini in other countries (for example, the Canadian Launch Edition is totally overlooked). But despite these minor quibbles, this is a book that every owner of a BMW Mini should add to their bookshelf.

A very clear book covering the Exams in the 300 series for the institute of Actuaries. Topics include Pensions, investment, asset modeling and Life.

Anyone with an interest in classical music will find this book fascinating, especially if you've heard stories about Beethoven's deafness, and Schubert's syphilis, stories that have been repeated so often they are taken for fact. Dr. Neumayr read copious letters and notes about the 4 composers, and came to his own conclusions about their medical histories, giving us background as to what medical practices were at the time, and what would have been standard treatments and understandings of health. Even if you're horrified by what you read (Beethoven being punctured to relieve his abdominal swelling due to fluid retention) you'll come away with renewed compassion for not just the composers, but all people who lived and died in the 18-19th centuries. You'll love the music of these masters even more when you find out what their lives were really like!

The first three Nightmare on Elm Street films in book form. The first two are excellent and you really feel you know the characters whose backgrounds are explored nicely.

But what happened to the novelising of Part 3? It starts off well but most of it bears no resemblance to the film at all and seems just an underdeveloped mish-mash. Very disappointing.

The feeble novelising of Part 3 barely deserves one star, but the novels of the other two make this publication on not to miss. And there are some nice photos from the films.

My son and daughter (ages 35 & 33) had 5 Noddy books when they were younger (6-9 years old). They still argue over ownership of them. Now their 5 1/2 year old nephew has discovered them and is delighting in the funny characters and their misadventures. The books have short chapters, making them ideal for bedtime reading. Tyler often reads a page or two by himself, & in fact, read a page for the Principal when he was Kid of the month in November. I am ordering several more Noddy books so my children and grandchildren have enough to share.

I've owned this book since I was 5 and now I am 33 and my own daughter enjoys it just as much as I did. I highly recommend for young readers 6 - 10. It is great reinforcement for learning to read and lots of fun to!

First off, I have to say that I LOVE all the E.J. Pugh mysteries. Susan Rogers Cooper could write about making a grocery list, and as long as E.J. was the one making the list, it would be highly readable and entertaining, and surely funny. My only criticism of this book was that Cooper does not spend enough time putting E.J in her best element-her family. The interaction E.J. has with Willis, Vera, Luna, Grahm, Megan, and Bessie is what makes each of her books so special; to me the mystery plot is just an excuse to get these wonderful characters together. I hope that future Pugh books have more of this witty and real interaction than Not in My Backyard did.

This book holds the essentials for writing exams in Nuclear Medicine. Not only does it have questons on procedures but also an Instrumentation , Pharmacy, and Quality Control areas. I would recommend this book to any student in Nuclear Medicine Technology.
