This is great book, every nursing students should read, not only for their essays.Authors wrote it clear, just simple everyday languages and without using medical jargons.I loved the cartoon picture in the book, it made me laugh and easy for me to memorised the points of the chapter. I read many different nursing process textbooks, some of them are too short and not enough information given to student. Otherwise, most of them too difficult to understand, more like reading a philosiophy textbook rather than nursing textbook.Actually, you don't need to be a genie to understaning the nursing process. Murray and Atkinson proved that in their book, nursing process is easy to use and this book've that job to show the readers. I hope you will enjoy it as much as I do.

The nature of law enforcement is a work in progress that changes with the needs of society. The best examples of this are the concept of community policing and the expanded role of women in law enforcement. This book gives an excellent view of both...and more. It's application of theory to the real world makes it stand out among other books on the practice of law enforcement. It is must reading not only for students of law enforcement, but for community leaders in towns and cities of all sizes, and everyone interested in the practical aspects of the criminal justice system.

This work is highly readable for both expert and layman. It gives an excellent summary of the the major events influencing the course of European history. Beginning with ancient Greece and Rome and finishing with modern politics after the fall of the Berlin wall, the book gives an overview which is neither to brief nor too specific. If you've read this book you really can claim to know a lot about history. Moreover, all the events numbers etc. are presented in such a way that history almost comes to life.

Excellent read

If you are writing software which must be internationalized, then there is no question that you need this book and you need Unicode. What ASCII is for the United States, Unicode is for the rest of the world. In this world (particularly this software world) of pontificating know-it-alls-who-don't, it is getting rarer and rarer to find complete compendiums of an entire domain of knowledge which can serve as the seminal reference for all successive work. This book is one of those rare seminal references which has in it the greatest quantity and greatest quality of wisdom and knowledge on the alphabets of the world for use in computer software.

From the perspective of domestic software developers within the United States, Unicode is essentially 7-bit ASCII in a 16-bit unsigned integer. In the immensely popular C and C++ languages Unicode strings behave like ASCII strings:
. Unicode 0/null terminates C/C++ strings, just like ASCII 0/null.
. Unicode has a type in ANSI Standard C and ISO Standard C++ (and ARM-defined C++): wchar_t. For C/C++ programmers, char=ASCII wchar_t=Unicode.
. Unicode has a plethora of standard string manipulation functions already standardized in ANSI Standard C and ISO Standard C++, usually substitute the str with wcs (e.g., strcpy=wcscpy, strcmp=wcscmp, strcat=wcscat) and substitute the char parameters with wchar_t parameters. Abracadabra, your software is well on its way to being able to have strings in any foreign language as well as English.
. Unicode characters are all the same size (16-bit), just like ASCII (8-bit).
. Unicode's first 127 values are essentially 7-bit ASCII values.
. Unicode completely eliminates all that darned "code page" baloney.
. Unicode completely solves all that "How do we stuff that odd foreign character into the printable characters on screen/paper?" problem.
. Unicode is an ISO standard which came from a defacto United States computer industry standard. It is not ivory tower; it is in common use.
. Unicode was developed with you the software engineer and programmer in mind from day one. Unicode was developed with C++'s/C's wchar_t in mind from day one. It all fits together with Unicode.
. Unicode is used as a supported string technology (or the only string technology) in: Java, C++, C, Windows NT, Novell Netware, Solaris, and numerous other computing environments.
. Unicode supports all alphabets in use in the world today, plus alphabet-less languages such as Chinese, as well as languages whose alphabets are still being formalized.
. Because Unicode characters are all the same size, Unicode characters are random-access in that one can access any character (pick a card, any card) and know by looking at its value what that character is. Other multi-byte character sets must be parsed sequentially from the beginning of the string to assure that one has detected what mode some escape sequence has shifted that portion of the string into.
. Unicode seeks to solve every defect of previous multi-byte character sets. Unicode is the fittest to survive. All other multi-byte character sets should be (and will be) abandoned.
. Unicode = exportable software world wide in the global economy. ASCII = limiting your market to the English-speaking minority of the world.
. Unicode = supporting the information systems of all of the foreign branch offices of your company. ASCII = crippling your information system so that it supports nothing more than the English-only offices.
. ASCII = string equivalent of the Year 2000 Problem. Unicode = the fix to language-crippled software.

(And we won't even discuss the obvious and total superiority of Unicode over EBCDIC!)

In short Unicode is good for the software industry. This book is the official reference for Unicode from the inventor of Unicode: The Unicode Consortium.

Rare is it that one combines such great writing and great photography and design into a nice package. This book is without a doubt on of the best railroad books on the market. Not only are the photographs works of art themselves, so are the words flowing the pen of author Hemphill. Thoroughly researched, taking what could be dry history and turning it not only into a page-turner, but also feast for the eyes.

This book is a wonderful review of the history of UConn. Many of the photographs haven't been seen in decades -- some have never been published before. Anyone who attended UConn and anyone who is a Husky fan will love this book.

Think you've read it all, just because you've exhausted yourself reading Mallory's Morte D'Arthur? Get set for a fantastic new round of "forgotten" stories as retold/arranged by the author. Authentic feel, easy to read, everything you hoped for when you said to yourself, "there must be more to the Legends than this!"

Collaboratively compiled and edited by Mark Amodio and Katherine O'Keeffe, Unlocking The Wordhord is a selection of essays by learned authors assembled especially to honor the memory of Anglo-Saxon Studies expert Edward B. Irving, Jr. Unlocking The Wordhord combines the wisdom of literary scholars who study Anglo-Saxon literature and culture in fine detail, ranging from a close reading of Brunanburh, to the vocabulary of bravery in Beowulf. An extensive and thoughtful compilation of literary criticism and analysis, Unlocking The Wordhord presents an impressive body of scholarship and is especially recommended for Anglo-Saxon Literary Studies collections.
