Everybody who has some interest to mathematics can understand this remarkable book. I was 17 when I read it first time. Now I have PhD in mathematics and often use examples from the book for my students and my children. Some things seem to be impossible (the curve covering a square, ...) but after reading this book one can feel it, not only understand.

The authors are among the greatest mathematicians of this century. The contents of this book form the basis for countless applications of mathematics in economics, finance, engineering and physical sciences.

This is by far the best book about lime and it's applications that I have ever had the pleasure to read. Thomas Hardy is a genius!

The name of the book is taken from a story where a small group of hungry, dispirited unemployed men travel to Melbourne to go to a union meeting. Sneaking a lift on a freight train they find that the only goods in their carriage is a large quantity of Nuttall's Mintoes (slogan: Its moments like these...). They eat as many as they can and also fill their pockets, hats etc with handfuls. Later in the story when they are arrested and made to turn out their pockets - well, you'll have to read it.

Set in the Great Depression of the 30s, this book of short stories tells of the Author's formative years in a small Australian town. As he finishes his schooling and starts to hang out with the local characters, a rich and darkly humurous sub-culture of those fighting to keep body and soul together is revealed. Containing many sad details of their lives, and many poignant moments, it still moves along with a gentle irony which both pleases and warms.

The Karate Clue is a really great book. It's exactly how I pictured the Hardy's as kids, especially Joe. I highly recommend this book!

This is another awesome Hardy Boys story, in which the Hardys tackle a case with a werewolf in it. It's really cool how they find out what's going on, and why things are happening. I don't want to give away the story, but if you want a neat story about the supernatural, and you happen to read Spanish, give this book a try!

This is a gold mine of information, much of which is not going to be found elsewhere easily, if at all. Glenn Mitchell has done a thorough job of researching his subjects, and it shows. Clearly, he enjoys The Boys as well, since a noticeable amount of wit and humor add to the fun of reading the book. Incidentally, it's virtually im possible ("I have just two words...") to read the book in sequence; the cross references just go on and on. All in all, it's a most worthy companion to Randy Skretvedt's "Laurel and Hardy: the Magic Behind the Movies".

In his third book about the films of L&H.Dr.John McCabe and his two co authors:The Late Al Kilgore and Mr.Richard W.Bann.Gives us all a broader insight into the team's work.Laurel & Hardy uses photos,an indepth text and the use of derbies as a raitings device to show us all the evolution and development of the best of the team's work and their dilliegnce in creating their classic comedies.The book also gives some insight into the working atmosphere of The Hal Roach Studios and some insight into the boy's forgetable films made at Fox And MGM during the 1940's and their last film together shot in Cannes' ,France:"Atoll K"/"Utopia!".There is also some tributes to the team in the section"For Stan & Ollie!".Which features honors from such performers and personalities as:Hans Conried,Eddie Cantor,Lou Costell,Patsy Kelly(Who performed with the boys in "Pick A Star!"),Marvin Hatley(The Roach Studio's resident musical director and the compoesor of "The Cukoo Song"/L&H's Theme song),Orson Bean,Leslie Halliwell,Marcel Marceau,Dick Van Dyke,Groucho Marx and Lenny Bruce.For anyone..who wants to see the creation of L&H's best films? This is one book to have.Bravo Jack Al & Dick.Kevin S.Butler.

This book is an excellent tool for library students or new staff in a library that uses LCC.

It systematically goes through the different facets of classification in LC, covering the features, structure, building a call no., using different types of tables, how to shelve it, and has a short section on the "Classification Plus" program. Each section has many practice exercises (answers in the back of the book) to cover all possible things that you might come accross in the real world.

The authors are well qualified to produce this workbook - Helena Dittmann was the head of the University of Canberra cataloguing department for many years, and Jane Hardy also has much experience with LCC. Both authors have a background in training.

I would highly recommend this book a a text for library courses and as a working tool.
