This book is an incredible resource for cyclists. It is unfortunate that it hasn't been given more recent updates, or that the publisher doesn't adequately support it. The degree of topographical detail on the root profiles is unsurpassed on any books I've seen in the United Stages -- perhaps the Atlas les Cols des Alpes comes close. It fails to get a 10 because:
1. it is becoming obsolete
2. there may be some minor errors in the data

This (and its companion book) are the best ride books I have ever read. In fact, they're the only ones I've ever even liked.

Each route is laid out in elevation profile in an attractive, uncluttered profile. Scale is provided in miles and kilometers for the distance; feet and meters for the elevation; 0 at road start for both. The gradient for steep sections is cleanly labeled on the profile itself. Intersections with other major (from the cyclist's perspective) roads are indicated with a reference to the page number for that road.

The short, spare route descriptions do it for me. They're not the usual boring blow-by-blow description of the road. "At this point, if it's spring, notice the colorful flowers on the left." Rather, he provides a spare description of the feel of the riding of the road, as a cyclist would feel them. At least, as I do.

Note: the book also contains a number of black and white photos of the roads, back roads usually empty, with curves, and shot at low angle. The photographer often darkens the road, so there is little contrast between it and the surroundings. The road appears incorporated into the natural environment. Again, a cyclist's feel.

This book is the best resource for a rider that you can find. It's written to appeal to everyone from a budding racer to someone looking for family fun.

These photographs show proud and dignified human beings living in a culture that once really existed in America (believe it or not). You will not find pictures of people being chased by dogs or being subdued with fire hoses. You will not find pictures of lynchings or cross-burnings...

I am a Greenville native who just sat down and shared this book with my mother who still lives in Greenville, Mississippi. She remembers the photographer and we both knew people mentioned in the book and some of the people in the pictures. It is a great depiction of early Black life in the Delta and tells a compelling story of the photographer,
Mr. Anderson. It shows that not all black Mississippians in the early days were cottonpickers living on plantations. The town of Greenville has a rich history, this book gives a minor glimpse of it. I wish the photo index had of had exact names of the people in them, that would have made it even more personal and touching.

Separate But Equal is a unique gem. A combination of historic photographs and personal essays, it chronicles the lives of an African American working middle-class living in the Mississippi Delta during the years of segregation.

H.C. Anderson snapped the deceptively simple but beautiful photographs, and they are a revelation. Through the lens of his camera, he documented a segregated but proud society aspiring to its own version of the "American dream." Anderson provides us a personal glimpse into the lives of children and families celebrating special events - beauty contests, weddings, proms, birthday parties - and they are truly dressed for the occasion!
One of the more striking photographs depicts a mid-wife who has just helped deliver a baby in a family home. The bedroom floor is covered in newspaper, as the new mother looks on from her bed, covered by a clean crisp white sheet. Although the photographs primarily focus on the every day lives of their subjects, there are also powerful photographs documenting the burgeoning civil rights movement, and a grim reminder of the fate suffered by some individuals who chose to play an active role.

The essays accompanying the photographs provide insight into Greenville's history. As seen through the wide-eyed amazement of a child, noted writer Clifton L. Taulbert paints a vivid picture of his youthful visits to the prosperous and magical Greenville, the "Queen City of the Delta." Taulbert along with Shawn Wilson provides the reader with a fascinating insider's view of the process involved in bringing this book to print. In a personal and touching essay, Wilson reflects on how the search for an old photograph of his mother, long since deceased, led him back home to Greenville and Mr. Anderson. It was there in Anderson's now defunct photography studio, that Wilson discovered the wealth of photographs comprising Anderson's life long work. Reluctant but trusting, the aging Anderson handed over his photographs so that Wilson might share them with the world. In doing so, we have the opportunity to view images of a rarely explored segment of society, one that combines both the struggle AND celebration of life during the period of Southern segregation.

This wonderful book would make a great holiday gift for those that love history or photography!

~I really enjoyed reading this book. Molly is a great girl. She cares about society and actually does something for it. She is not afraid to go to a welfare hotel to help ~{!0~}her kids~{!1~}. These kids have psychiatric problems and other problems. Molly helps these kids as much as she can. She is socially conscious. Mary Anderson put Ron~{!/~}s richness and the children~{!/~}s poorness together, makes an emphatic contrast. When two of her young students suffer traumas, she decides that~~ she must do more to help them. She chooses to work with these kids first, not to have fun with Ron. She put her relationship with Ron behind. They straighten everything out at last.~

I loved the character of Molly in this book- she seemed so real and vibrant, like I knew her. The story is fast paced and very readable, with lots of fun and wit. It's not the typical teen-age fare, but that's what makes it good! I recommend it.

From the reviews, I thought this might be a great book for
my 8th grade English class to read, discuss and critique.
Thank heavens I read it first! It is so riddled with grammatical errors, mis-used words and spelling errors that
for me, plowing through it was like listening to a fingernail scratch the blackboard. Both author and publisher should be
ashamed! Rather than having the class read the book, I'm
using it as the basis for a competition. Any student who
wishes to may read the book and make note of all the mistakes.
The one (or ones) who finds the highest number will receive a prize -- a book of course. So I suppose I didn't waste my
money after all.

Paula and I read this book and fell in love with it. It's a wonderful story of family togetherness vividly told by a an inspiring writer.

I read this book last night and just couldn't put it down. The rich family relationships are so visual and full that you really feel you know these people and are feeling with them and for them. If you love animals...and talk to them, as I do, you will really relate to Cappy's "heart to heart" with his herd -his children. I have horses and dogs and tell them my inner most thoughts...and you know, they listen and understand. Pass this book on to your friends. It's a keeper.

A great book for explaining the essentials of groundwater modeling including governing equations and statistical evaluation of numeric modeling. I just wish the publisher could produce a book that the cover didn't fall off within the first couple months of use.

This text was used in my groundwater modeling class and was useful and instructive specifically for GMS and MODFLOW. The binding split after normal use during the quarter to almost every student enrolled in the course.

This text outlines the basic principles and problems faced by young groundwater modelers. The comprehensive interpretation of common challenges are handled with reference to real case studies. Basic steady-state groundwater modeling is supplimented with transient examples. It is a great text for any groundwater modeling class at the undergraduate or graduate level.

This book is about a head nurse on a medical-surgical floor in a hospital.Some of the information would give someone a good idea about the hussle and bustle of the nursing field and it's stresses.
A lot of this was the woman's 'personal' feelings about nursing and not all nurses feel the way she does or would or would not do some of the things she did.
She is also 29 y.o. and this was written in 1978. A WHOLE LOT has changed since then. Don't believe this book is the gospel on nursing because it's not. It does give a good basic over-all view but is more a journal of a 'new' nurses experience.

I would recommend this book to any nursing student or new graduate. It deals with nurse-doctor as well as nurse-patient relationships in great detail with descriptions of actual individuals and case histories. While certain things have changed in the 25 years since the book was published, it still makes for informative and entertaining reading.

I bought this book at a local store not knowing anything about it, I had went there to look for something else and it caught my eye since I would be starting my first semester of nursing school in a few months. I started to read it but soon had to stop when I got into the hustle and bustle of nursing school. My favorite thing about this book is that it is from a very deeply personal point of view. I didn't buy it for technical knowledge or even the hopes it would give me an inside look at the life of a nurse. It's too old for that, but I have to admit the cover lines, "Doctor's don't keep you alive, I do." caught my attention more than anything. It is finals time now at the end of my first semester of nursing school, and I have just finished the book on my thanksgiving break. I'm glad I did because I felt very inspired and comforted by reading it. Especially now that I too have begun to feel the stress, anger, fear, and lack of confidence that can accompany being new to nursing. My favorite parts of the book were when she got really specific about her opinions on nurse-client relationships, especially relating to death. It's also encouraging to know that since the mid seventies there has been a push to bring more respect to nursing as a profession, and not just a servitude position for weak women to get close to doctors as possible husbands. That of course doesn't apply to me since I am one of few men to go into nursing. I loved reading about how someone in there mid to late twenties enjoys being tested by her job and life, and is still able to grow and change into a better person. I definitely would suggest this as a good book to read for all nursing students, and all nurses, no matter what job title, age, or specialization.

This book is not just covering product development process for food industry, but also could be used as a general framework to understand other industries as well. A number of good figures and diagrams to illustrate the process flow.

Very appropriate language and amount of detail. Not as overwhelming as many texts while providing sufficient scientific fact. Not as many illustrations of skills as I would like to see - i.e. text explanation of how to make an occupied bed or take a blood pressure but depends on instructor or other resource for demonstration of the skill.

This book will give you plenty of practice before the actual registration exam. It gives you an idea on what kind of questions will be asked, and helps you to find what areas you need to focus your studies.
