A refreshing counterpoint to AIDS-teria
A great collection of essays from people in the front lines of emerging sexuality, this book is a good read for anyone who wants a more balanced view of contemporary sexuality. The essays discuss the science of AIDS and other STD transmission, strategies for coping/prevention, truly risky behaviors versus "perceived" risky behaviors, and sexuality from the perspectives of women, men, gays, straights, and youth.

There are parts of the book where the services of a better copyeditor might have been valuable, but that's not enough to be a real problem - just stay with it when it meanders a bit, you'll get the point eventually.

Though the pace of science makes some of the material (I read the 1996 edition) a tad dated, it is still a good counterweight to the unreasonable fearmongering of sexual repressionists and the naive media. Their conscious or unconscious "disinformation" concerning the very real, but extremely limited, AIDS phenomenon has negatively influenced the thinking too many otherwise sensible folks.

A First Course in Combinatorial Mathematics
This is a very good introduction to Combinatorics. It is filled with many examples and has problems that really reinforce the examples. Because it is well organized, it is very easy to use as a reference. I highly recommed it for anyone who is serious about studying Combinatorics.


Forty Minutes by the Delaware: The story of the Whitalls, Red Bank Plantation, and the battle for Fort Mercer

Excellent
This book was very easy to follow. I found it to be historically accurate and highly informative. From the very beginning the author has the reader very captivated. The book gave a complete view on not just the battle but how the people of that era lived. It gave a good human side to a major event in our history. Whoever reads this book will appreciate both sides of this war. And most importantly, this book stimulates the sense of heritage, pride, and the importance of preserving our valuable history. The statistics were also helpful for me, because for the first time I saw the correct numbers of troops involved in the Battle of Fort Mercer. This book was well done.

A good Register with a good Historical
The Glogal Internet Trust Register, as the name says, has lots of registers of public keys, but besides it, there is a historical which describe the attemps of Government to licence the cryptography and other proposes. It explain the certification authority(CA) even for non-technical people, explain what is 'The Global Internet Trust Register' and other things related with CA. The reason that I liked this book is as I already said, the registers and the historical part, which a learned a lot.

For Pamela Anderson fans only!
Usual Pamela Anderson, includes herself and not much more. She displays everything in the here and now, she's a real material girl. If your a fan of hers then go for the book, otherwise you won't enjoy it. She communicates her problems as they exist and sometimes doesn't know when to stop. Her life with Tommy Lee and her life without Tommy Lee is explained. Theres more to her than just this book.

BEAUTY AT ITS FINEST!
My only complaint, no nudity, her body is so beautiful! I really enjoyed this book! I love her skinny eyebrows and body, her beautiful eyes, her full lips(natural), I dont like her (1991-92) look. Too girl next door, we have enough of those!! Pamela Anderson is one of few women, like myself, that really enjoys being sexy, thin, beautiful!!! Why should she go back to being chubby, thick eyebrows, short hair, no makeup? I don't know about you, but I feel we need more women like Pamela Anderson! She is a sweet person, she cares about the world, she loves her children and is a good mom, she has a great personality! Well take my opinion and go pick up a copy, you'll love it and if you don't, well theres always Sandra Bullock,(boring)!

PAMELA-TRULY A MODERN-DAY HEROINE/BEAUTY
Pamela Anderson in Pictures will be a classic about photography as well as personalities. PAMELA ANDERSON-THE MOST EXTRAORDINARILY GORGEOUS BEAUTIFUL, SEXY AND TALENTED WOMEN OF THE UNIVERSE. I have Never seen so many GREAT photos of a Beautiful Lady all in one place. The penultimate PAM book!!

not so bad
I thought that this book would be great for children. It has many good fantasy adventures for little kids and I think that you should read it to your kids or just read it on your own time.

The Little Mermaid (Disney/Book and Cassette)
This the Disney story about Arial, the little mermaid & all her odd assortment of friends that live with her in the sea. My grand-daughter Britanie, is 4 years old & just loves this book/ tape so much that she wore it out. I love the idea that the cassettes follow the words in the book so the children following the words read aloud, start to recognize words that they hear. I am in the process of trying to purchase her another set. This is only thing she asked me to get again her for Christmas.

strong in some areas, weak in others
Strengths of the book:

It does a good job of showing that God can use us even in the midst of our weaknesses and sinfulness. It is fast-moving, humorous, and helps the reader understand what missionary life, especially from the wife's perspective, is all about without using glowing descriptions.

Weaknesses:

I thought it left quite a few gaps. 3/4's of the book describes the author's preparation for service and first missionary term, and then the remaining part told about 6 more terms in a very short, abbreviated way. Time doesn't fly that fast. Also this reviewer felt uncomfortable with the author's emphasis on "feeling" God's leading and how she worked through a major depression without receiving the help of any type of counseling.

Overall, I was pleased with this book as it gives a fair representation of the trials involved in being a missionary, and how we who are missionaries are no more perfect than anyone else and must rely on God in order to serve Him. This story is an excellent example of faithfulness in the midst of difficulties. I would say it is a "must-read" for missionary wives.

This version of the book might not be suitable to your needs
This version of the book does not allow for you to print the book. Also, copy and paste is disabled. Finally, this version of the book requires Adobe Ebook Reader (note that this software is different from Adobe Acrobat Reader).

Free markets as environmental panacea
This book purports to be serious scholarship but is little more than very readable libertarian/free market boosterism. It does, however, do a good job of reflecting the values of the so-called Gingrich revolution of the mid-nineties and probably those of the current Bush administration.

The book takes one of two approaches: to place absolute faith in markets when it comes to environmental protection, or to deny the reality of particularly intractable problems. It's interesting to note that the sub-chapter on global warming, titled "Global Warming or a Lot of Hot Air?" (deriding those who believe in global warming as "Chicken Littles") which appeared in the first edition has disappeared from the 2001 revised edition. The revised edition doesn't even list global warming or climate change in the index.

Anderson and Leal make their strongest argument where they write about "government failure" in funding the construction, by the Army Corps of Engineers and Bureau of Reclamation, of un-economic and ecologically harmful dams throughout the 20th century. This sort of pork-barrel spending wasted taxpayer money and harmed the environment and was largely unopposed, at least until Presidents Carter and Reagan (to both of their credit) began to resist, as is recounted at great length in Marc Reisner's excellent book Cadillac Desert.

In Anderson and Leal's chosen scheme of environmentalism, the most likely determiner of how natural resources would be allocated would be big multinational corporations, not unlike Enron, Global Crossing, WorldCom, etc.. We have seen how (un)wisely these corporations protect the public interest and how equally (un)wisely they protect the interests of their own shareholders. Yes, by all means, lets put the Great Lakes into a water market and allow some new "Enron" to control the trading. (See Anderson and Leal's Chapter 8, titled "Priming the Invisible Pump.") It's scary to think that the decision over whether we will have any wilderness left at all would be in such (in)capable private hands. Yet that's what the authors recommend. This book's solutions are overly simplistic and thus either wrong or incomplete. I give the book a five for readability and a one for policy, with policy weighted most heavily.

A new approach to saving the environment
This book is a real eye-opener. It shows how sometimes the private sector is much better at protecting the environment than the government is. It builds from early examples in the 19th century up through effective private-sector efforts today. At the same time, it points out how government programs sometimes worsen the very problem they seek to correct.

Some people might not believe its notion that the private sector will always do the right thing. And, of course, it won't. However, this book is a good guide to the growing movement to find a better way to protect the environment.
