A life saver!!

I used these notes in PLACE of taking physical geology. I needed a final science class to graduate, and the only one available was Historical Geology, which had the prerequisite of physical geology. These Cliff's Notes are so thorough and easy to understand that I felt well prepared for the class, despite the fact that I had no experience in Geology whatsoever. I am not very good in science of any kind, and these notes were easy for even me to use:) I felt comfortable enough with the material presented in the notes to apply it in an entirely different class. I'm sure these would fantastic review notes for students in physical geology!

Excellent: concise, but very detailed!

This book is an excellent means for studying and an excellent way to review for tests. It gives the reader a very detailed description of every geological aspect that should be discussed in an entry-level course. I highly recommend this guide for all students who have a class in physical geology, or who just want to learn more about the science of it.

The Pillars of Economic Understanding: Factors and Markets

An eye-opener !

Learning from Professor Mark Perlman was one of the best things happened to me when I was still a student. Since Professor Perlman had stopped lecturing on this topic ( in fact I was among those who attended his last series of lectures ), this book, along with an earlier publication in 1998, serves as an alternative to his interesting and thought provoking lectures filled with first-hand information about economics and economists. The course was an eye-opener for me and I highly recommend this book which covers the materials Professor Perlman put together for us.

A Great Teacher, Wonderful Books

Anyone who took Dr. Mark Perlman's courses on the history of economic thoughts will admires why he knows so much about the development of economics. His lecture notes are just like pieces of maps that lead his students into the Treasure Island of Knowledge. I am very happy to know that Mark and Dr. McCann have published their books. I would like to share my experiences with everyone who read the books.

The Playbook : The Definitive Guide To Dating For Young Professional Men

Published in Spiral-bound by lifeaftercampus.com (20 December, 2000)

Author: Mark Geiger

Amazon base price: $19.95

Average review score:

Just right if you're out of college and single

This book is definitely helpful if you are single and just out of school. It's easy to find women to date in college because there are so many social events to meet people. But after college, the game changes a bit and you have to be more creative. I was impressed with the amount of practical information in the book I could use right away. The author's use of personal stories make this book interesting and fun to read. I wish it was just a bit longer - I was left wanting more. Hopefully the author decides to write a follow-up book.

You need this book!

This book is fantastic! The Playbook showed me, in a humorous way, what it takes to succeed in the world of dating for young professionals. It is tough finding quality women, approaching them, asking them out, and dating them after you get your diploma. It feels like the dating pool has dried up and become this big desert. Where did all the hot babes go? The Playbook showed me how to play this new game smart, and save me time that I would have otherwise wasted making rookie mistakes.

Excellent book, creative and practical.

As a psychologist, clients who are parents are frequently concerned about ways to communicate some of the strengths they gained by being in therapy to their children. They want to communicate some of the values and lessons of emotional intelligence in a palatable way. This book really succeeds in addressing some of the important issues and in providing fun ways of teaching them to children

Great Projects, educational & character building ideas.

I really have enjoyed this book. The projects have many great qualities. They help build character, make a child feel great because of what the can accomplish, and give them a way to feel creative. My son needed help with self esteem. They had many projects that help to boost self esteem. This book is a must for all parents. It is so full of things you can do with your children, you will not even need another book

Very Cool Book!

I too finished this book the same day I started it. It was so brilliant I couldn't put it down for a second. It showed me that God can take something seeming very bad and bring people to Him through it. The character Liz really touched me. She was so full of hope and was really into sharing her faith. People really noticed something about her was different. I admire this character the most. I reccomend this book for anyone wanting to read a good book.

Great new fiction

This book is awesome! I got it and read it all the first day. I went straight out to get the next book, Breakout, that same day. This book really helped encourage me in my faith, and it was just a great story to read. I really enjoyed how the plot jumped around a lot from future to past, that kind of stuff. I look forward to reading the next ones...

Fascinating and Informative

From now on, all events in my life will be judged by a single reference...Those that occured before I read this book and those that occured after.

A COMPREHENSIVE AND WONDERFUL BOOK !

A fascinating look at the sometimes complicated world of Policy and politics, this book is a must read for all who wish to expand their knowledge in this area. I do not believe that a book as comprehensive or wonderful as this has ever been produced before. Dometrius and Somma are truly at the top of their field.

The Best of the Best

The Polynesian Dance Directory by Karen Marks is full of helpful information, especially if you want to learn Polynesian dancing and have entertainers at your functions. I attended one of her Dance Workshops for the weekend and it was GREAT!!

Polynesian Dance Directory--Why Needed, Why Buy It

I'm glad I bought the Polynesian Dance Directory. I didn't realize that so many people are into the dances of the South Pacific. I was able to find some dancers to perform for my friend's wedding anniversary. I also decided to take lessons and now I'm hooked!! I attended the author's (Karen Marks) Polynesian Dance Workshop for the weekend and it was wonderful. Karen has some of the best instructors teaching at her seminars. Karen is an excellent instructor/dancer too.

We love Poppleton!

My 5 year old and I loved this book. The 3 stories made us laugh out loud and the pictures are adorable. We will definitely read the other Poppleton books.

We just LOVE the Poppleton books!

We are 2nd graders at the Anna Merritt Elementary School in Lockport, NY. We have read the Poppleton books with Ms. Fletcher. Our names are Alexandra and George. Our favorite book is Poppleton and Friends. The characters are Poppleton, Husdon, Cherry Sue, and Uncle Bill. Alexandra's favorite part is when Poppleton put on some oil. George's favorite part is when Poppleton played cards. We hope Cynthia Rylant writes many more Poppleton books!
