There are a handful of books that I read again and again, when I want something I know will please. This is one of them. The characters are well drawn, including the lesser ones, and the hero and heroine are both attractive and human. At least part of their problems are caused by their own foibles. The plot is believable and complex enough to keep me interested in the 20th reading, without being too convoluted or contrived. And -- without being saccharin -- the resolution will warm the heart of any reader who likes to see wrongs righted, the dispossessed restored, and the good triumph.

This coloring book is full of information and is really specific about different tropical fish. Has great, detailed black and white illustrations, perfect for coloring with markers or colored pencils. I really like this book!!

All the topics are amazing.
The most interesting themes are: The Speed of Light; Darwin & Lady Hope; Relativity theory; Long-age theories; The barriers to mass publicity; Alice in Wonderland; Scopes Trial, etc., etc.
ONE OF THE BEST SCIENTIFIC-CHRISTIAN BOOKS I HAVE EVER SEEN!

As all books of this author this one is wtitten with a lot of humour and love to animals. It's simply must read book.

This book is an excellent resource for those who would like a brief summary perspective on just in time production processes (where components arrive for use in production just prior to the time they are needed, rather than being held in inventory, and finished goods are immediately shipped to customers rather than being held for finished goods inventory). The book nicely explains the advantages of just in time, why it works, how it relates to quality improvement processes, the effect on purchasing, how to link various cells using just in time, and how to put the concept into effective implementation.

The book begins with a brief history of how just in time came into being, and how it became so popular. I found it interesting to see that lack of space in Japan played a role in the development. That factor would not have been enough without the effects of the quality movement based on Deming's principles there (defect-free goods are the way to create quality, good quality is more profitable than poor quality, buying from suppliers who are committed to quality, working with suppliers to improve quality, and quality requires top management commitment). The seminal experiences at Toyota in Japan are also related.

Although it is a summary of the field, the level of detail is good. I particularly liked the section that compared just-in-time to other popularly-employed manufacturing processes. That made the differences and advantages clearer. I also enjoyed reading about the kanbans (ways of ordering production) that Toyota developed to create effective production flow without putting a lot of computer systems in place.

Whether you are looking for personal curiosity, to begin an evaluation of whether or not you should use just in time, or want to teach the subject to someone, this is a good book for you.

I also suggest that you visit plants that have just in time, in order to see how this is implemented. A good overview of the strategic advantages of just in time can be found in Michael Dell's book, Direct from Dell.

This reviewer has gone through the volume in question in some detail, not only does it contain uniforms of the various nations who participated in the American Revolution, there are passages on small arms, edged weapons, uniform changes, rank badges and regimen

tal and national flags of the nations involved. There are short sketches of major engage- ments and important other events,along with Order- of-Battle for each engagement or event. Finally, a Bibliography, short but informative is included. Overall I would rate this work as excellent. I have only one very minor quible, the uniform drawings are small, the color reproduction and

detail very good, but I wish they were in a larger format.

The pictures are amazing. I do have to admit that Malcolm Wilson is my brother, but he IS a wonderful photographer. He captures the true Appalachia in a way no other artist could. I am incredibly proud of him.

This 19th century novel is an absolute must have for any vampire fan, as well as academics interested in what our vampires say about us.

This is a very "wordy" book about a complex man, his life, politics, and beliefs. It is not a history per se of Malcolm X, nor is it a biography, rather it is a collection of ideas within ideas about Malcolm X and what made him tick. I must warn you though it is not as easy book to read, but it rates five stars in my opinion because it attempts to be analytical and non-judgemental about the man and his times. Not an easy task when you are writing about someone as famous as Malcolm X. This is a good book to supplement Alex Haley's book on Malcolm X as it looks deeper into the man and what he stood for. Well worth reading if you have the time and patience.

Malcolm Turnbull's Victims Or Villains: Jewish Images In Classic English Detective Fiction addresses Jewish characters in the classical English detective story, from Conan Doyle onwards. Inevitably, Jewish characters in these stories have been stereotyped as moneylenders, fences, underworld operatives, saboteurs, or even power-crazed megalomaniacs. Victims or Villains uses countless examples in literature to follow the evolution of the Jewish caricature, in relation to anti-semitic sentiment in British society. Also analyzed are the reevaluations of Jewish stereotyping after 1930, both due to the literary development of the crime novel and to the international events of World War II and the Holocaust. Studied crime writers include Baroness Orczy, Sydney Horler, R. Austin Freeman, Ngaio Marsh, and S.T. Hayman, while the writing of Golden Age "giants" Dorothy L. Sayers, Agatha Christie, and Anthony Berkeley Cox are examined in detail. A fascinating subject, and very highly recommended for students of popular culture, as well as fans of the detective story genre.
