MY GREAT GRANDMOTHER WAS IN TOWN WHEN THE BOOTLEGGER WAS SHOT AND KNEW HIM. THIS BOOK SHOWS THE TRUE LIFE AND STRUGGLES OF LIFE NOT JUST IN SMALL TOWNS BUT ACROSS AMERICA. EXCELLENT HISTORY LESSON OF SURVIVAL AND WHAT GENERATIONS BEFORE US DID TO GIVE US WHAT WE HAVE.

This is definitely a page turner--rare in nonfiction. Mr. Hallwas combines the suspense of a murder mystery and the facts of a history lesson and makes it all fascinating! I was born in the area and my family's surnames are mentioned throughout the book. Most of my family members have read the book and have SO enjoyed it! In fact it may have solved a generations-old family mystery of a missing relative! A must read for anyone with family roots in small town America!

This book is excellent. Definitely a "can't put down" book. Hard to imagine the quiet, sleepy town of Colchester was once involved with Al Capone, Shoeless Joe Jackson, bombings of homes of law enforcement agents, and murders, bootlegging and crimes of this nature!

I found this book not only to be innovative, but very inspiring. It shows so many new ways to look at textiles, and all of the color pictures are superb. It is definitely something to look into for anyone interested in textiles.

MICCAI, as a merging conference of VBC(Visualisation in Biomedical Computing),MRCAS(Medical Robotics and Computer Asisted Surgery) and CVRMed(Computer Vision, Virtual Reality and Robotics in Medicine)- really present some high quality scientific papers in medical imaging. We can see that from the high percentage refusal of the submiting paper.

The book collected the accepted paper for MICCAI in 1999. It covers the topic of Data-Driven Segmentation, Segmentation Using Structural Models, Image Processing and Feature Detection, Surfaces and Shape, Measurement and Interpretation,Spatiotemporal and Diffusion Tensor Analysis, Registration and Fusion, Visualization and Image-Guided Intervention. From this book you can see the detail of most recent development, some of them comes from very famous researcher and scientists working long time in this area. And I found some papers shown in this book have their further publishing in the high impact journals such as IEEE Medical imaging, Medical Image Analysis and so on.

So my brief conclusion is this is a very nice book for the people working in the area of medical imaging and related research.
