This book helps you find out which plant community you probably have in your area, and then tells you how to redesign your landscape with that plant community in mind. It gives lists of plants for your particular plant community, too.

I can envision a second edition of this book with a map of Florida that shows where the different plant communities are, which nurseries in your area carry those native plants that are listed, and other features.

Hi, this book is great! thera are some titles about treatment of physicaltherapy

I believe this survey is one of the best introduction to modern variational methods and minimax theories.

This book provides a brief history of evangelist D.L. Moody and the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.

D.L. Moody was born in 1837 and grew up in Massachusetts. He moved to Chicago in 1856. Before the Civil War, Abraham Lincoln visited Moody's church in Chicago. During the Civil War, Moody was a volunteer chaplain. He preached to Union and Confederate soldiers.

In 1870, Moody met the powerful singer Ira Sankey in Indianapolis, Indiana. Together they formed an effective partnership.

In 1871, the great Chicago fire destroyed Moody's home and church. Besides his work in the U.S., Moody also toured Great Britain and Ireland as an evangelist.

In 1886, Moody founded what would become the Moody Bible Institute. In 1899, the evangelist died and was buried in Massachusetts.

The rest of this book describes the development of the Moody Bible Institute from its inception into the 1980's. Various of the school's leaders are described. Its various ministries and outreaches are listed. The history of the campus and its buildings is given.

The pictures are large and of a very high quality. The book is devided into 6 sections, which seem tied to the life stages of michelagelo rather than the subject matter or technique. I bought this book to study the technique and style so the pictures are were very usefull but the organizations wasn't hellpfull. The texts which accompany the drawings do a very good job of discribing the techniques michelagelo used.

In this book Judith Goodstein relates the rise of CalTech from its extremely modest origins as Throop to its boom after the Second World War. Along the way she provides a capsule history of the growth of American science itself. The view from Pasadena is slightly different from some others: there innovation came well before the Second World War.. and was not just part of the endless frontier of the Cold War. Goodstein, who has criticized scientists' penchant for doing their own hagiography, writes pleasantly and unsententiously about a place she knows very well. I hope she writes the sequel, as it were, telling what happened to that little school in Pasadena from the 50's onwards...

Goodstein has been archivist and registrar of the California Institute of Technology, and certainly knows whereof she speaks.

It's a good book because it has pictures over each of the words to represent what they mean.

Fr Jerome Bertram's translation of Cassian's De institutis is irreproachable. The book itself is well-presented and ideal for devotional reading, being compact, unlittered with commentary and even including a bookmark -- which is actually a curious thing, since the Conferences would have been better suited for this purpose. In any event, the book was published in a series that is designed to make important works of Christian spirituality available to a wide audience. It fills this role admirably. But scholars who are interested in the Institutes for whatever reason will likely find it disappointing that there are very few references to related early Christian material, or indeed to contemporary secondary literature.

Yes I know, it is rather late for a calendar. But the pictures...... Monet is among my favourite artists and it is easy to remove the calendar part of the sheets - so buy this at a set of reproductions instead of a calendar and enjoy it for several years.

Here's a book for the tech investor who wants to know what the different companies in the NASDAQ 100 do. There's a simple company profile, earning projection, revenue growth chart, and key financial ratios.

Since all of these things can be gotten over the Internet these days, the main benefit of this book is that it is in book form and you can pick it up for stock ideas in the tech area (except for IBM and HPQ).

The only thing that I found interesting was the author's Top 25 Picks for 2002-2003. This list includes all the big cap tech stocks except QCOM and has some comments about each choice. There's also an interesting discussion about the QQQ's and the Rydex funds and how it might be better for most investors to simply buy these instead of riding the ups and downs of these highly-volatile individual issues.

I would like to have seen a more lively format, but I guess this book wasn't meant for my entertainment. If you want to buy individual stocks within the NASDAQ 100, you will need more current information in addition to what is presented here.

The Bottom Line: It's a handy reference.
