Leaders in higher education should stand up and applaud the efforts of these authors. This is an accurate appraisal of the IT landscape in higher education. Few have ever touched upon this 800 pound gorilla of a subject. These authors have challenged the misperceptions held by many about the real costs of technology. It's about time.

Great story of one of our time's best architects, Frank Lloyd Wright, & his building of the Domino's Mansion in a way that was harmonious with nature. Easy to read, lots of great photos as well. Excellent book.

This is the life story of my grandparents, Dr. Frank and Bessie Beck. They were missionary doctors in La Paz, Bolivia from 1910 - 1960, who dedicated their lives to the people of Bolivia. They established two hospitals, and a school of nursing which are all still in operation.

For those readers, who are personally related to them, you might find it fascinating to read about the adventures of traveling and living in South America during Bolivia's cultural revolutions.

Dr. Frank Field tells why more Americans die by fire than any other nationality - we don't know nearly as much about fire as the rest of the world! We believe things about fire that are not true, and that cause needless damage, pain and deaths. WHY IS THIS BOOK OUT OF PRINT? It deserved to be in every library in the world, and in every home as well. (I speak as a professional safety consultant - I found this the best book of its kind ever written.) This book is worth whatever it costs you to get it. I recommend it wholeheartedly. William Foss, ZEE MEDICAL SERVICE - Santa Monica, California.

I first heard of Dr. History when I lived in the San Francisco Bay Area. During my morning commute, I often listened to KNBR's morning show, hosted by Frank Dill and Mike Cleary. A frequent feature was a brief talk about some little-known anecdote from California's past. This was presented by Jim Rawls, who was dubbed "Dr. History" by Frank & Mike. The stories were always short, but interesting.
Jim Rawls has placed that format into book form, very successfully.
The stories are still short -- good for a quick bedtime story to a child or for that brief reading time in the quietest room in your house.
Following each story, Rawls has a section called "Something More", where he encourages you to go somewhere to experience history for yourself. (Most of the locations are in the Bay Area.)
I highly recommend this book, especially for parents who are hoping to get their kids interested in history.

Dracula Go Home is a great book and I would recommend this to any child from ages 8-13. You (the reader) should read this book because it is a great mystery and is full of suspense and humor.The book is basically about a boy Larry who visits his aunt for the summer to help her run her hotel and ends up seeing a guy that looks like Dracula and who signs in as A.R. Claud (rearrange the letters) So Larry keeps a close eye on him and solves the mystery. So read the book to find out what mystery I'm talking about and no, it's not whether he is Dracula or not.

I've had the book for four years and read it every off season to try and break bad habits. Frank breaks it down to simple terms and is written at a level that is very interesting. Best money spent for a useful tool in my secret tool box! Terry Bolin, Springdale, Ar.

The book provides vital insight into China's future. A proactive view.

This was a great book. I am one of the lucky ones and I have a rare hard-back copy of it. It starts out in Kristins dream when she is walking up to Freddy's house. If you can find a copy of this rare book don't hesitate to buy it. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.

This comprehensive research resource contains all information you could possibly want for all waterfowl that appear in the wild on this continent. It is not, and does not read like, a novel. It is straight facts in a logical and thorough layout. This book will be highly prized by hunters, bird watchers and any one else interested in the identification and unique behavior patterns of waterfowl.

Color plates of adults and chicks of both sexes in all color phases, plus juveniles for geese are included. Species identification, migration ranges and patterns, adult and juvenile sizes, breeding territories and behavior, population trends, food habits for all species and major races (11 races of Canada geese - it is incorrect to call them "Canadian") are covered in depth.

I particulary enjoyed the coverage of rare migrating species such as Baikal Teal, Eurasian Green-winged Teal and European wigeon.

I own the 1976 version of this book and will be purchasing the current updated version soon. This has been by far the most valuable waterfowl and wildlife book I own. The main updateable content of this book is current population numbers and trends as these vary widely from year to year.
