It's a valuable boo

PHANTOM LEADER is the third in Berent's five book saga of fighting men in Vietnam. Berent's series gets better as this author gains experience and insight into the lives of his characters. This book is probably the first one in the series I would consider a "must read". The reason is the story of Major Algeron "Flak" Apple who is shot down in his F-4 fighter early in the book and is captured by the North Vietnamese. His story gives the reader a shocking look at life as a prisoner of war inside the Hao Lo prison, known more commonly as the "Hanoi Hilton". His story continues through the final two volumes. Berent agonizing portrayal of Apple's life of misery and torture inside the prison is dramatic and moving. The story also contains the continuing story of Court Bannister, an Air Force pilot that I believe Berent uses to tell his own story. Wolf Lochert also continues his battle as a US Army Special Forces Lt. Colonel. Berent writes with a similar style to Tom Clancy. This book is really five seperate stories that all intersect at one time or another. Berent's books are much easier to read and have more action than technical detail. The reader does, however, recieve enough explanation of military terms and acronyms to understand the sometimes complex language used by military persons. This books is a surperb action novel, but what makes it great is the amazing and horrifying look inside a prison camp of North Vietnam.

It is a well written and very usefull book. I reccomand it espetially to those entering the field of musculoskeletal disorders. Each test is explained in short and precise manner with short guideline to diagnosti thinking. Excellent book. It's a must for students and residents. Once you go threw things are much more clear. It's an excellent book.

I checked this book out at my library not just once but twice. I'm sure that I'll check it out again until I buy my own copy, which I will be doing very soon. I want to go to school and major in photography. I know very little about the subject and decided to read up on it and have found many many books on the subject. Mark Galer's book was the first photography book that I came upon that was simple enough for me to understand everything, which is not the case with all photography books. Books on photography I have found to be very technical in terms and description. But Galer's student book is awesome when it comes to simplicity and understanding the fundamentals of photography. I definitely recommend this book.

The best book I've ever read about raytracing. Just read it all and end with a complete raytracer you can easily extend and adapt to your needs. If you are wondering how photoralistic ray-traced images are done, you should read this book! Cheers Christopher Watkins, for a great job!

I love this set of books. These books require students to learn not by lecture, but by doing labs and explaining their results.

These books certainly are not appropriate for high school students (the age level I teach), but they are the perfect resource for their teacher. A high school student needs very clear instructions and needs reassurance that he is on the right track. These books are not clear enough for these students.

However, as a teacher, I can adapt the material, write my own labs, and give the students something that is on their level.

I've done the electricity unit, as a student, and realized that there was quite a lot about circuitry that I don't know. I was a Physics major, but I never truly understood the material, I only thought I did. I'm looking forward to trying some of the other units and finding out what else I don't understand!

The other useful feature of these books is the cost. The labs use only very inexpensive equipment. For someone like me in a small, rural school, this is a godsend! In a few years, I hope to develop my program to the point that my students will get a good, high-level education, and low cost labs help make this possible sooner.

and descriptions combine to make this an excellent reference on horns of the period.

mark schwartz is a zen master without even knowing it.
the ease with which his poems are written tags the
turf of a man who has walked many miles through the
city of san francisco in old sneakers, talking to
every sidewalk saint, using all six senses to humbly
communicate with the universe in all her glory!

After visiting the Pierced Hearts and True Love exibit at our local art gallery I bought and fell in love with this book. Very tasteful and well thought out. An inspiration for a person considering a tattoo. Very thought provoking.

Suspenseful from beginning to end! I couldn't put this book down! A wonderfully well written story that I would highly recommend!
