This book comprises every aspect of law there is. Subjects are well and extensively explained, plus it has an exemplary case for each topic, and a table of cases. All in all, its a great book for the law student, although it doesnt compair british with american law.

This is a beautiful "coffee table" book, full of pictures and descriptions of the great golf courses throughout Ireland. The pictures give a good idea of what the courses are like, and the descriptions, although generally brief, are entertaining. It is the perfect book for anyone who has or is plannning a golf trip to Ireland. If only it were still in print...

Lewis and Clark, A Prairie Dog for the President, is a fun read that's nicely paced. Author Shirley Raye Redmond uses whimsy and humor to tell this historic event: President Jefferson sends the eager Lewis and Clark off to explore the West. The vast young nation has never been fully explored. The president wonders how long it will take to get to the end of it and what they will find. One of my favorite parts is the banter over what to name the barking prairie creature they discover and send back to Jefferson.
"You can call it a ground rat."
"No, it looks like squirrel. I'll call it a barking squirrel."
"Squirrels don't bark. Dogs bark. We should call it a prairie dog."
"That's it!" Lewis and Clark agreed.
Later it starts all over again, when the President asks, "Is it a gopher?"
The illustrations by John Manders are just as pleasing. I like the facial expressions on the people and animals, especially the mischievous smile of the prairie dog. Manders is skilled at portraying action and emotions. And like the author, his sense of humor is so much fun. A buffalo and bear pose to be sketched. A buffalo won't fit in a shipping crate. Prairie dogs pop in and out of holes, eluding capture. A poor scout is so weighed down with "presents" for the President, he must be hoisted onto a boat.
Together, Shirley Raye Redmond and John Manders have created a delightful book.

A Lonely Grave: The Life And Death Of William Redmond is the fascinating biography of a hitherto forgotten man who in his time came to represent the ambition, frustration, and self-sacrifice of a generation of Irish patriots who sought home rule for their country in the days preceding World War I. William "Willie" Redmond was the brother of John Redmond, leader of the Irish parliamentary party who, despite the general apathy of the Irish towards involving themselves in the British/German conflict on the continent, enlisted in the 16th (Irish) Division as an officer and received a fatal wound on the battlefield of Messines Ridge, south of Ypres, France. Dying in a field hospital of the Ulster Division later that same day, Redmond was the only officer of his 6th Royal Irish Regiment to be buried at Locre (the 16th Division's headquarters), and not with his fallen comrades into one of the official war cemeteries built after the war. His "lonely grave" is unvisited, and symbolizes Ireland's indifference to the fate of its soldiers who died in World War I. Terence Denman's superb biography, covering both Redmond's political and military career, is a fitting testament to a long neglected hero of both the Irish struggle for independence and Irish participation in the Great War.

It's great!!!!! There's really nothing more to say! What I was wondering tho, is there a book like this one, with a disk in it for, "Office 97"? I know there's different books for Word 97, Excel 97, PowerPoint 97, Access 97 and Outlook 97. But geez! that's awfully expensive! Again, is there a book like Microsoft Works For Windows 95 Step-By-Step with the disk in it for Office 97?

The Most Beautiful Horse In The World, is by far an excellent horse lover's book! I've read it three times and each time I really enjoyed it. It was almost like I'd never read it before to begin with. If your a teenager and a horse fan, your bound to enjoy this tragic novel of how much bravey Cara Zol put into saving Lucas's life and how she almost destroyed her's. I have to say, I've never read a more intruging story of complex horror a person could be put thru to regain their stenght in love. True love. Only for a horse, of course!

Not in Our Backyard, is an excellent book that highlights many of the lesser-known characters and events that comprise the U.S. Environmental Movement. Tim Redmond and Marc Mowrey have crafted a culmination of intriguing and exciting stories that detail the formulation of what would ultimately become a force to be reckoned with: The Environmental Movement.

In a time when we are losing our giants of the movement including David Brower, Marc Reisner and countless others, Not in Our Backyard brings forth insight and intelligence, ultimately proving that individual citizens can make profound contributions to worthwhile causes. As a student of environmental history and someone who has read numerous books on the subject, I can say with certainty that this is my favorite book by far on the subject.

Written in a journalistic style, the book consists of numerous short chapters that focus on a diverse cast of people, places, and events that changed the course and helped define the environmental movement. Although over 400 pages long, the book reads extremely fast and is difficult to put down. I highly recommend that anyone interested in Environmental History seek out this out-of-print book and read it, you won't regret it.

In Surnames and Genealogy: A New Approach, many readers will recognize the development of ideas that Dr. Redmonds - a leading authority on English surname origins, local history, and place names - has presented in seminars over the past decade. As Dr. Ralph J. Crandall notes in his foreword, the fundamental lesson of Dr. Redmonds's work is that each surname is unique, beginning with one person or family at a particular time and a particular place. Thus dictionaries of surnames may mislead when they provide a single origin as the explanation for a surname. The book's explanation of the ways in which surnames changed over time should aid American genealogical researchers in determining likely variants of surnames in their own ancestry (and variants to check in indexes).

The book assisted me to recognize the various stages of grief and the importance of working through the various processes necessary.

I enjoyed the simple terms and the easy to understand real life examples displayed throughout the manuscript.

My first impression was non-belief that a book like this was needed since I thought that professionals understood this process of traumatic grief. After reading the book I realized the lack of knowledge by most mental health professionals was staggering. The majority of these professionals truly do not understand the grieving process of traumatic death.

I am thrilled that this work has been completed and would encourage ALL professionals including law enforcment and legal support staffs to read and use this materials in their daily work.

Anyone who has suffered such a loss is not able to recognize the quality of the professional that they seek out in such horrible times. It is unfair to represent ALL mental health professionals as qualified to deal with such tragedies.

More and more today with the increase of sudden violent attacks and murders this material should be used as a "TEXT BOOK" for the field of mental health. I strongly recommend use of this material.

What is more mysterious than giant creatures that live deep in the sea?
Tentacles! Tales of the Giant Squid grabs the reader from the start. Author Shirley Raye Redmond writes that no one has ever seen a giant squid alive in its home in the deep! And no giant squid has ever been caught alive!

Redmond describes the mysteries and ancient myths about these animals in a tone that keeps the reader reading. Can a giant squid really hypnotize a human? After all, its eye is as big as a human head. Do they attack freighters and snatch men off boats? She explains what scientists know today about giant squids, how they've come to know these things, and how scientists are using whales to try to learn more about these mysterious creatures. She presents facts and lets the reader decide what myths are true or false. She also explains the things we can never know until...one is filmed or caught alive! Redmond writes in a direct style that is understandable for young readers yet highly intriguing. This book unlocks old mysteries about giant squids and presents those that are still unsolved.
The illustrations by Bryn Barnard are beautiful, especially the cover and the two-page spreads of ocean scenes. The illustrations match the mysterious feel of the book. The power of the giant squid clearly comes through. The text and pictures effectively show the characteristics, size, and uniqueness of the giant squid. This appealing book will leave young readers thinking of what they've read and seen long after they've closed the cover.
