This book was an easy-to-read guide to what college freshmen can expect from their college experience. As a college student myself, I wish I would have read this book before my first year of college. Great advice!

I should admit at the start that my mother wrote this book, and that I am biased toward her work. This is the seventh book in the Adam Joshua series, and one of my favorites. This book, and the series, details the life of my sister and I, plus a variety of other characters. Despite the book being named "Nelson in Love," (Nelson is actually Scott, my best friend for the past 13 years) the book is actually about my first true love. At the time Mom was writing the book, I thought it was romantic that my love was being immortalized in print. After all the years of suffering through her publicizing my periods of thinking I was Superman and running around in a cape, and my fear of monsters, and even my fights with my sister, I was finally reaping the rewards. That lasted right up until the moment we broke up. By then the book was already at press, and it was too late to change the girl's name. Some day my children (her grandchildren) will ask who Heidi was. My mother's personal dedica

This is a tremendous collection of studies as put together by Grant and Adams.It is the best I have seen and is a cornerstone in neuropsychology assessment.The sheer amount of information and detailed descriptions are relatively easy to follow along with varying degrees of diverse opinions.If someone knows of a better book,please contact me.

Although directed at neurosurgery residents, I found this book to be useful for neurology residents (particularly during their neurosurgery rotations) as well - with interesting tidbits - how tos and how not tos - this book is really unique, an easy and in. It is not intended for (exam) review.

My Group of Friends and I have just started a Match Play Tournament and I purchased this book just in time to read before the tournament. I was giving up 5 and a half shots and still won my match 4 and 3. I credit this book with a lot of that success. The small things that you would never realize about strategy in Match Play are in this book, and so much more. You will not be disappointed.

It was very useful to finally have access to the current Nevis company and trust legislation. There are lots of summaries of the law available, but the full text of the actual statutes has not been generally available until this book. Now a tax planner can make his own decisions as to what is the best structure, and what legal options exist, and then ask a Nevis firm to implement the decision, instead of relying on high-priced advice from local firms, who often don't convey all of the details that a tax planner prefers to read for himself.

Rosemary Gregory, Myra Lee Goff & Roger Nuhn have given the citizens of New Braunfels (& Comal County) a gift that will last through the years. It is a chronicle of a German settlement and the people who have lived here in earlier times. Lushly illustrated with over 275 photographs, illustrations, maps, and artifacts, it is an beautiful tome that invites the reader to connect with and feel part of this community. Everyone in who grew up in or lives in Comal County should have a copy.

This book is great! It gives you lots of tips on how to grow a successful city garden. I give this book 5 stars because it is so exelent.

Only two books have astounded and disturbed me. One was a thin volume by Keynes, written just after WWI, which predicted Germany starting another war -- and giving facts and statistics which irrefutably demonstrated Keynes' argument. I was disturbed because the work had been largely ignored by those in a position to change conditions so that Germany need not start another war.

The second astounding and disturbing book is Brooks Adams' "The New Empire." Adams covers a lot of time (4000 b.c. - 1900 a.d.) and territory (Asia, Europe, America). He shows how shifting trade routes have caused great cities to rise, and to fall. He regards these cities as the seats of 'Empires.'

Adams -- younger brother of Henry Adams -- discusses these trade routes as connections among products, resources, and markets. When water traffic became less expensive than overland traffic, port cities became great centers. When the ocean routes began to be navigated, the center of 'Empire' shifted from the Mediterranean to the Atlantic countries, especially Spain, Holland, France and England. Adams discusses various wars as inevitable forms of economic clashes. In early times, Adams discusses the importance of metals. As he moves into the modern era, he looks at coal as essential. I would love to have his thoughts about oil. But the reader can extrapolate easily enough. It's scary.

Lots and lots of good historical stories, including Gengis Khan, the Russo-Japanese rivalry, and the rise of the USA as the center of the 'New Empire." He points out that if we don't stay flexible and energetic, China could become the new center.

He discusses political administrative efficiency as a factor in determining the cost of transport and production.

Why did I never see this book in eight years of university English lit studies?

You'll love Adams' sweeping conclusions and generalities. Buy this book! Read it. It's a keeper.
