The Lobels' have introduced a very nice and unique cookbook with the release of this one. I own several other grilling cookbooks, and there are many good ones out there. This one is my absolute favorite because the recipes are a little more than your basic grilled steak or hamburger. Try the grilled filet mignon with gorgonzola-scallion compound butter and the sirloin steak with rosemary brushed potatoes and red peppers. Don't forget to try the barbeque sauce. It's fantastic. The book's contents include tips on grilling, burgers, beef and veal, lamb and pork, poultry, game and game birds, and sauces, salsas, maranades, rubs and other condiments. There are no fish recipes so if you are looking for that specifically, find another cookbook. If everything else sounds good to you, you will enjoy this inovative book by the Lobels'.

Finally! A book that really tells us everything we need and want to know about grilling meat. As author of 3 cookbooks on grilling, including "Marinades, the Secret of Great Grilling", I can tell you that I am buying this book for everyone I know who grills meat - and that is just about everyone I know. It's so well organized that I can find information at a glance. The recipes are readable, do-able, and taste terrific.

I've always read above my age level and some of them are confusing and I have no idea what they're talking about. Wishbone is a great book, it's not supit and it's not like most children books. The writer is wonderful and it makes you want to read the The Prince and the Pauper. Buy this book it's great for all ages!

This book was great. I spent nights reading it. It is a true adventure that will really want you to read more classicals.

basically im speechless. it put me in such awe, that i felt the need to push you to buy this book...the 'reader from ft. lauderdale' was right on track.

way to go mark clark!

This is, by far, the MOST ORIGINAL book or poem (take your pick) that I have ever read!!!! When I first bought "The Prized Southern Ledge", I was skeptical, but also very intrigued by the plot. As it turns out, my fears were unfounded, as this is one of the best books I have ever read! What makes this book more amazing is that it is written as an "epic poem", or generally in four-line stanzas that usually rhyme!

The book is about a corrupt, futuristic society where crimes are dealt with by throwing the guilty over the courthouse ledge. The more severe the crime, the higher the floor from which the convicted are dropped. All this happens while blood-sucking lawyers feast while they watch the guilty fall to a near-certain death, which is analogous to ancient Rome's feeding of the lions.

Nicholas Pein, the main character, must struggle to fight the corrupt government and defend his honor at all costs. In the same manner as Braveheart and Gladiator, "The Prized Southern Ledge" conveys the same feelings of shock, sadness, rage, and hope.

I could try to compare "The Prized Southern Ledge" to another book, but that would not give it justice because there is simply no other book I've seen quite like it.

If you only buy one book this year, make sure it's "The Prized Southern Ledge"!!!!

A few people usually participate in the development of complicated systems standards. A few more learn directly from the standard. Most of us rely on books to understand what's really behind a standard like PSIP. Mark Eyer does a fantastic job explaining what PSIP is about and what it means for the digital television industry. PSIP is critical to making digital broadcast television work for consumers, and Mark's book wraps it up in a highly readable, complete package.

This book, written by one of the primary authors of PSIP, is a comprehensive look at what PSIP is, what the information carred by PSIP is, and how to use it.

There are very few books available that explain in detail the standards and specifications for the ATSC digital television system. This is one of the best, taking on one of the most complicated and confusing topics.

Anyone involved in digital television, including broadcasters, programmers, PC and receiver designers, technology journalists, etc., should have a copy of this book on his/her shelf.

Chapter 1: Religion in the Counseling Office. Chapter 2: Toward Psychological and Spiritual Health. Chapter 3: Prayer. Chapter 4: Scripture. Chapter 5: Sin. Chapter 6: Confession. Chapter 7: Forgiveness. Chapter 8: Redemption.

McMinn writes for the Christian professions, the religious, and the lay people. He also seeks to speak to those who are pursuing active integration of faith, psychology and theology. It is very refeshing reading as he discusses classic Christianity and its applicability to everyday problems. With the popular publication's sloppy "a little bit of this and a little bit of that" view of spirituality, McMinn presents a well thought out response. A must read for counselors, psychologist and psychiatrists.

This is one of the first public policy analysis books on the market in the last 25 years that has dared to do something new.
The first chapter of the book begins not with a discussion of market economics but rather with a discussion of politics, power, and democracy. The second chapter examines the rational model as only one possible model of policy analysis. The book concludes that the rational model is useful but that it is only useful in limited situations. From here the book moves into a critique of the rational model (chapter 3), a political model (chapter 4), a pragmatic model (chapter 5), a democratic model,
a postpositivist model (chapter 6), and a democratic model (chapter 7). Along the way, interesting cases involving a county commissioner playing politics to conflict over bison management in Yellowstone National Park are presented in detail. Chapter 6 is a fascinating exploration of how problem definitions are created in postmodern political systems. The book closes with a critique of rational model tools including an interesting analysis of cost-benefit analysis.

The authors include several useful tools for analysts along the way: stakeholder analysis, focus groups, meeting facilitation, content analysis, narrative analysis, surveys, and sampling.

Read this book along with books by Deborah Stone, John Kingdon, and Hugh Miller if you want a political understanding of policy analysis and if you want to actually know how to do policy analysis.

I used this book in a public policy course. I initially did not think that I would like this subject. But the book made all the
difference. Interesting exploration of different models of policy analysis and great cases. The writing is interesting and the political approach to policy analysis is particularly effective. A great book for MPA students or anyone else interested in understanding how to analyze public policy.

This is the perfect guide book for birding in Puerto Rico. The photographs, 1340 in all, are brilliant, and the text is detailed and rich in information. The guide itself will easily fit into a pocket or day pack and so when out in the field you will have it at your fingertips.

What's unique about this guide is the excellent CD-Rom that comes with it -- this will help you before you go to know what the birds look like, their calls, their behavior and where you can find them once in Puerto Rico. I used the CD-Rom to check out three of my favorite PR birds and was amazed at the numerous and gorgeous pictures, the superb quality of the audio recordings and the information Oberle has reproduced in this book. For instance, regarding the Puerto Rican Tody (one of the 17 PR endemics covered in this guide as well as over 320 other birds), there were a dozen different pictures of the Tody including fabulous close-ups. The information Oberle gives includes identification, voice with audio, habitat, habits, range, status and conservation, taxonomy and related books and articles about the Tody. The Tody is a tiny forest bird with emerald green upperparts and a bright red bill and throat -- everytime I see one I think of a Christmas tree ornament, they are so cute! Oberle discusses in detail what they eat: katydids, grasshoppers, earwings and dragonflies, and discusses as well their foraging techniques. Because Oberle goes into such great detail about ID and habitat/habits, I think this is the best guide to enable one to actually find the birds once in PR.

I also checked out the PR Woodpecker and found those pictures, audio and habitat/habits information just as extensive as that about the Tody. I learned that the woodpecker's stiff tail feathers helps it to gain balance while chiseling at tree bark to find its favorite insects, including earwings, beetle larvae and ants. I discovered it occasionally eats scorpions and and lizards! Oberle informs the reader that a good place to find the woodpecker is around the parking lot of the El Portal visitor Center at the El Yungue national park.

A third bird that is well covered in both the CD and guide is the Pin-tailed Whydah, which has a most remarkable long tail and perches on wires and branches. I was surprised to learn that the female is like our parasitic cowbird and doesn't build her own nest but drops her eggs in other birds' nests.

Oberle has done a splendid job of bringing together in a compact book all the information and photgraphs of birds that you will need when out in the field. Because he cares so much about these birds and the environment, he also has special sections at the begining of the book on conservation efforts, migratory birds that winter in PR, and the extinction issues that face too many birds and other wildlife today in Puerto Rico and elsewhere.

To anyone going to Puerto Rico who plans to do some birding, I heartily recommend this book and CD-Rom to you.

This guide is fantastic! It is well organized, easy to use, full of concise, carefully planned information, and absolutely the best bird book I've ever seen. The photos are extremely well done and very helpful. The descriptions are outstanding: accurate, thorough, and interesting. I have many bird-watchers and long time Audubon members staying here at Villas Margarita, not far from the Caribbean National Forest. They all rave about this book and the fine job Mark Oberle did on it. It is worth every penny! Buy it!

I was sorry to see the series end, but this book helps. I could see the city and the tunnels in my mind. I will read this again.

This book continues the seris increadably well. it reads and flows like a regular episode of Earth 2. the addition of Terians interacting with them instead of just randomly apearing was great. -Agent818

I thoroughly enjoyed this installment of the Osprey Military Campaign Series. As usual, the information is concise, to the point, interesting, and a fascinating read. Also, the maps and other illustrations and photos, are fantastic. If you like ancient history, this is an excellent introduction to a particular epic battle of antiquity.

Another excellent book from the Osprey Campaign Series. This earliest recorded Battle in the human history is recounted and critiqued by the author in an exciting manner. As opposed to a mundane account of the battle and the events leading to it, the author constantly provides objective strategic insights to the battle based on the analysis of the battlefield as well as the compositions of the armies. This introductory book is well illustrated and provides photographs of key areas of the battlefields. Highly recommend.

I read this book in two sittings! Quantum Teaching gives you the impetus to implement everything you've not yet mustered the courage to try - and every reason to believe you'll be successful. Included are simple phrases to encourage better communication between teacher and student as well as strategies to promote a more positive classroom atmosphere. Everything in this book can be applied to any classroom at any level. This is not just a teaching reference; it is a teaching essential.

This book covers everything that teachers can always improve on. It covers from how to use the student's body to help them learn to how the classroom should look like! When put together in practice, it makes for a fun and challenging classroom that pushes both students and teachers to learn more. A great book.
