The latest catalog from the folks at the American Film Institute is, almost needless to say, their best yet. Like the two previous catalogs -- 1911-1920, 1931-1940 -- this amazing work covering all American-made feature films of the decade is heavily annotated and a MUST for any researcher. Only one decidedly minor problem, however; the volumes have become almost too large and the Film Institute ought to consider publishing their next decade in four books.

This book is a wonderful way of begining a study in histotecnologies. Easy to read and objective. If you want to learn all laboratories tecniques used in histoloy and patology, that's the best book. Don't look after others.

Thoroughly researched, this book is a must have. Patterned after the W. Hawkins Ferry book I had decades ago as a student, this book updates and adds significant content about the rich architectural history of Detroit.
The writeups are informative from both a building and historical context. I loved the descriptions, such as from the Guardian Building (my favorite), "a lightning bolt of spirited inventiveness".
Take this book with you as you stroll downtown and you'll find new treasures, like the Water Department building.

Excellent!

This book is very helpfull, it almost cover most of the que. we usually ask and looking for answer to. but its not enough to study from you need to study before reviewing such a book i advise to read problem and solutions ( 26th edition ) by Patrick R.Delaney.... and good luck.

A reader from Mozambique. AIDS and MEN: Taking risk or Taking responsibility?

This book touches on a sensitive issue. Although the argument of men driving the HIV epidemic is not new, it has not been realised by many sectors of society. Firstly, the book points out the role of men in the spread of HIV. Men are labelled as key actors in the dynamic transmission of the disease. Men have greater opportunity of sexual contact, drug and alcohol use and take advantage over women by determining when a condom will be used. This behaviour of men subjects women to greater risk of acquiring HIV. Secondly and closely related to the former, is that HIV/AIDS in women is not merely a biological fact of contracting a disease. Rather, HIV/AIDS in women is, in the majority of cases, a result of the disadvantage they have in comparison with men. Women are dominated by men. The condition of dependency, taboos, lack of opportunity, ignorance, religion and others, make women unable to protect themselves to avoid the disease. HIV/AIDS in women is as result of women abuse and violence, mostly in developing countries. Thirdly, the social approach which is presented as one of the most likely to overcome the epidemic, is at the same time, recognised as the hardest to achieve. The social approach addresses the issue of "changing societal norms which means to recognise the context of men's life, taking into account their fears and desires and encouraging responsibility, communication with partners and respect for others and oneself". As a physician and public health worker, but mostly as a man, we must recognise that if we(men) are taking risks, we have to change our behaviour by taking responsibility. In this context the book has achieved its proposal.

Worth it for the photos alone. The writer shares with us his life long love of aviation. He explores the history of aviation in a fashion that will please the expert as well as the curious.

He uses the Smithsonian collection to make points about the hsitory of aviation. The book is not limited to a description about the collection, th e history is augmented with photos and anecdotes. A great book for enthusiasts, history buffs, fans of photography and readers in general

My grandparents were Danish settlers in the area of Fort McMurray Alberta. I grew up in the same area, and even though I live in Wisconsin now, the region is a fascinating combination of resources, colorful personalities and changing economic times. As this book shows, a railway or a refinery can change an area forever. It has helped me to understand my origins. Recommended.

Let me economize on words by saying that this book is a wonderful companion for the Albertist or any scholar concerned with Faith & Science. The editor was Father Weisheipl, an Albertist and Scholastic of first-rate credentials. You will do well to buy this book...

In a thoughful, direct way, Brent Ryder's book addressess many of the important issues facing cancer patients, family, and friends from the time of diagnosis through long-term survivorship. The chapters cover everything from a detailed explanation of what cancer is, treatment options, and advocacy advice, with recommended reading and resources. I especially liked the section on how to support a patient as a family member or friend, and the chapter that deals with legal, financial and insurance issues facing cancer survivors - this kind of information is not easy to find in one place. If someone can only afford one book, this would be the one I'd recommend.

Finaly, a book that really speaks to us all. I have had terminal cancer (14 years ago) and labored beside a loved one as they dealt with the disease. This book really is a very helpful quide in so many ways. First of all with the big questions. It encourages us all to find our own way to facilate our own fight. Our own fight for our very lives. All while teaching us to LIVE our lives now. All of this The Alpha institute offers endless advise, imformation and assistance. With chapters that allow the reader to ready access to specif topics. With reference to other books and sources of information.
