This is an acceptable book for job searches, however the information provided is not very specific to physicians. There are other resources on the market that provide more specific information for those in medicine.

The authors have been studying the Book of Mormon, and have come up with the idea that the Nephites were never completely destroyed by the native Americans (Lamanites), but sailed off to Japan and intermarried with the people there. As soon as the people of Japan find out their real heritage, they will come to America to build the New Jerusalem in Jackson Missouri. The Lamanites, can join in on the building if they wish, but the promises of Christ are that the Nephites (Japanese) will be building the New Jerusalem. The authors make the presentation of their ideas more interesting by putting them in the form of fiction. The title itself tries to remind you that this is a novel and not just a series of lectures. The effect this book had on me: I want to read The Book of Mormon again, this time more carefully, with a view of prophecies of my day.

This book contains many errors, bad descriptions paried with horrid illustrations, and many other dissapoinments. It may teach you what you need to learn, but not very well at all. I DO NOT reccomend this book. Unless it is required.

The book is very simple to read and understand, but there is a problem. The example presented seems to be tailor-made to demonstrate the use of different features of OMT and Booch methods. Now when you try to apply these to the project that you are actually doing, you find yourself asking the same questions as you were doing before. In real life, projects don't sit up and beg to be OO-ised.

I would strongly recommend that you NOT buy this book. It's an utter waste of time. The biology review section is hardly comprehendable, and concentrates on such minute and ridiculous details that it's far more frustrating than productive to read. The organic chem review section is a joke, and is only a few pages long. The practice tests have questions that are not representative of those appearing on the actual exam. The only section in the pratice exams that MIGHT be remotely useful is the verbal section. But even here, while the passasges are okay, the questions are not very representative of those on the actual exam. With horrible review sections and practice tests that are even worse, this book is a complete waste of your money. I got duped into buying it becasue the price was so much lower than the price on other review books. Now I know why. You'd be much better off paying the ~$50 for the Kaplan MCAT review boook, which is far more comprehensive and useful.

This book is a complete waste of time and money. The review section is way too general, and the four "model" examinations are both too easy and do not accurately reflect the actual content of the real exam. For example in the biological sciences sections, there were no organic chemistry questions at all, but instead an overwhelming majority of questions about human physiology. Anyone planning to take the MCAT would be better served by buying A) the released MCAT tests available from the AAMC and B) a better review book like Kaplan.

This book was a joke; if you plan on doing poorly on the MCAT waste your time learning from this book. I especially loathed the practice tests. I would suggest Kaplan for the 2000 MCAT.

Gives a Very basic overview of Clustering. Would be useful for somebody who has no clue about the world of clusters, Otherwise the cost is not worth it. If you are a techie, you can scour the net or look up some Magazine and get the same info without wasting any money. But, if you are a IT manager or Salesman, surely this book is worth decorating your shelf with ;-)

Gives an overview of general basic clustering principles, nothing real substantial. If your looking for the best basic understanding, spend a couple hours scouring the Net. (Time better spent!)

The topic of high-availability in the HP environment is worth understanding in detail for anyone who deals with mission critical systems. Unfortunately, the details and effort behind an implementation and/or configuration of MC/Serviceguard is not addressed. This makes the book essentially a kindergarten level primer of generic solutions, something you could get out of Datamation or Informationweek at no charge. If you don't know anything about redundancy, duplicate I/O paths, UPS, clusters, this may be your book. Otherwise, if you want something you could really use look elsewhere.

I would put more stock in Pat Robertson waxing poetic on the joys of homosexuality than I would in anything this man has to say with regard to faith, morality or anything else. He is a flagrant anti-Semite and often ill-informed to boot. For more information on his past comments visit http://www.pinenet.com/~rooster/media.html

The idea of Mr. Pippert lecturing on ethics would be laughable if it weren't so downright frightening. He has absolutely no claim to any moral high ground whatsoever. His anti-Semitic comments are legion and vicious. I can think of many more qualified men to postulate on our nations moral obligations. Asking him to dictate our morality is like asking David Duke to lecture on racial tolerance. It is both an insult and an exercise in stupidity.

With glaring errors in three of the languages right on the cover, I wouldn't even consider purchasing this book: The French translation of the title uses the adjective "facil" where the adverb is required, the Italian translation uses "ed" instead of "e" to translate "and", and the Spanish translation misspells the word "espanol" as "espagnol"!

If you want to learn one of the languages in this book, run, don't walk, as far away from it as possible! I was interested in learning Italian, French, and Spanish, so I ordered the book. Luckily I speak fluent German, so by browsing through the book, I could get a fairly good idea about the quality of the text. Within ten minutes, I had found over 25 SERIOUS vocabulary, spelling, and grammar mistakes in the German sections! Needless to say, this did not exactly fill me with confidence about the quality of the rest of the book! I feel great pity for anyone who tries to learn German from this book, and I recommend that you steer clear of it!

This book caused quite a stir when it was first published, since it appeared to destroy the consensus that had existed on the language of power in the New Testament. Carr's thesis is that there are no such thing as evil spirits - power is only good. To support this thesis he ignores crucial evidence, mistranslates others, and declares the crucial Pauline verse Ephesians 6:12 a second century interpolation, without any textual evidence to support this. Walter Wink, the distinguished biblical scholar describes this book as 'persuasively argued error' and it prompted Wink to write the acclaimed 'Naming the Powers' in which he exposes Carr's dishonesty and wilful misrepresentation of evidence. As Walter Wink put is:

'Carr insists that the terms for power are used in Jewish literature not to refer to evil spirits, demons, or Satan, but only to obedient angelic powers whose activity and presence confirm to the status of Yahweh, that the world into which the gospel came was not a world that longed for release from powers, that the Christian message was not one of a cosmic battle in which Christ rescued humanity from the domination of such forces. ...But the evidence points in almost the opposite direction from everything Carr asserts.'
