This text was written years ago but still contains intersting historic information. "The Management of Aircraft Maintenace" I found to be more up-to-date on the actual management of aircraft maintenance visits. $89.00 612-915-1598 or fax: 612-929-7208

This book is very informative. However, the aviation industry has seen many changes in the 12 years since this book was first published. Using this book as a text is very difficult because of these many changes. Would suggest a revision or rewrite.

King's book has been very useful for many years as a textbook for Aviation Maintenance Management. However, the industry has been through some very significant changes since its publication in 1985. I would be interested in any updates or second editions of this text. Otherwise I would be tempted to gain authorization to create an updated version myself based on the same layout.

This book was adapted from a series of lectures, and I just *know* that had I been there for the lectures I would have fallen asleep, because the same thing occurred when I attempted to read this book. Good rule of thumb: only read this book if you'll be tested on it later.

For individuals who have an interest in discussion material pertaining to global, ethical politics. This is not a Political Science 101 level book. It demands concentrated effort, but it is worth the effort. Mr. Hoffman's book provides ample material in revealing the detailed problems of dealing with geo-political, ethical issues in an increasingly smaller world.

This book describes why morality cannot be readily applied inter-state. The book is for readers seeking in-depth understanding of the practical political limitations of translating moral principles into foreign policy development(usually dominated by national interests). It nevertheless credibly establishes a method.
It requires previous or parallel efforts in understanding the core tenets of modern political science, i.e. not for lightweights. Pertinent to today's US-world relationships.

The bells and whistles are nice, but the image quality is terrible. The software will only work in 640x480 graphics mode, and the images are actually smaller than that. I'd estimate the resolution to be around 30-50 dpi at best, which makes it nearly impossible to see the smaller, fine details on many plates, and often it is impossible to tell exactly where the leader lines are going. For the amount of money it costs, it ought to be much better.

This CD shows you the different plates of Netter's anatomy atlas. You could access to any plate by a number, or access to plates relating to one part of the anatomy (chest for exemple, or a; you could also make your own selection and save it. For each plate you could chose to see the plate with full annotations, only with the arrows (without annotations) or with nothing else than the picture. It is nice to test yourself to find the name of each structure, and there is an additionnal sowtware that come with specialy for practice. I found that the plates came with a to low resolution (640X480, so the pictures are poor quality and sometimes it is difficult to read the annotations. There is also absolutly no text with it.

In conclusion, I would say that this CD became old , and needs to be update with better quality plates, and also a description text would be welcome, nethertheless It could helpfull for students to test their knowledge.

(PS: note to amazon: please feel free to correct my english if needed)

Ok, at first I thought: It#s quite nice, but is it really worth the money? The first thing that i noticed, that the images are indeed not the biggest, but after all there is so many of them. And they are still the great illustrations of mr. netter. i think the quality is fair enough to recognize structures.
although there is a magnifyer built in, you'll never use it because it just makes you see EVERY pixel.
What i really like about this cd ist the many features it offers to you. Printing (which can be very useful for learning as you don`t have to mess up your atlas), test functionality (fully editable) and all the different categories of illustrations and images are quite impressive.
The large number of clinical images and explanatory texts finally makes this program one of my favourites at the time as it gives me the opportunity to look beyond what i`m "allowed" to study as of now to what i will be studying in some time.
after all i would never give the netter cd away anymore, now that i got it.

This book is way to complex for a 3 year old! The letter "X" is Xiphias gladius (the scientific name for a swordfish)!

This is a wonderfully illustrated book, with lots ofinteresting information. Just make sure your child has a longattention span if you intend to read it all at once!

"A" doesn't always have to stand for "apple," especially when dealing with older children who haven't mastered the alphabet yet. This book is great to read aloud with young children because of the vivid pictures and interesting topics. The book lends itself to many different extension activities and will encourage children to want to learn more about the ocean. It's a great way to begin a study on ocean animals. I learned something new myself!

Difficult to follow and no solutions.... examples are few and far between.... By far the most worthless chemical engineering book I've used... only one I'm sure I'll sell at the end of the semester.... the author is incomplete... I found few discussions interesting... there's got to be better out there?!

This book could be good if a great professor was teaching with it. I had the misfortune of having another poor University of California, San Diego professor which made the book a priority to read. I found the book to be once again excessive in derivation and the problems required too much interpolation to make any good use of the tables provided. The tables were great however could not be used efficiently when solving problems, thus making homework sessions tedious rather than instructive.

I used this book as an undergrad (ME) and I loved it. Now I'm taking the grad heat transfer class, and this book has been a great help. I am currently designing a heat exchanger and without it I would have been lost! In the words of my friend in reference to this book, "I just want to shake that man's hand for writing it"

~I usually gave books I bought not bad reviews. But this one, I hate to put it in this way, is full of wrong concept, unclear definition, misleading explanation, incomplete proof, ... A mathmactics book like this is a real shame!

The reason I did not give it one star was I like Schaum book's style: definition, then example, then exercise, then answer at the end (this one doesn't have).

In sum, you can't use this book for any purpose, except as one reviewer pointed out, the errors really~~ make you think about the concept. But before you can do that, you should already know some basic abstract algebra and have a logic mind.~

I was not impressed with this book. The author appears to make quite a few errors, both in the definitions and in the examples, enough so that I could not be sure what was intended. I cannot recommend this as a tutorial in abstract algebra. However, the confusion did force me to think about the subject.

The subject of "modern abstract algebra" is daunting! I was intimidated to launch into a study of the subject, and was referred to this Schaum's Outline by a professor, who advised me that it was the best introduction for me to consult. He was right! It is so clearly written and so "poetic" in its treatment of modern algebra, that it presents mathematics as a beautiful language of the pure forms and symmetries and logic in elegant simplicity! But it appears to me to be somewhat radical in its approach to the many different topics; suggesting in a brazen way, a synthetical cohesion say between groups and modules,and rings. At any rate, it is probably too adventurous for the general market - even for the few readers who would understand, let alone appreciate, the daring philosophical assertions the author makes - it will probably enjoy only a brief run....maybe to be celebrated later (as often great things are) as "visionary"! I'm glad I at least had the great fortune of seeing Mathematics from such a lofty height, because of this book!

This book is obscenely unfunny. Unfunny of the magnitude only people who get paid professionally could attain. Given, as Amazon had put it, these two fellows' credentials, one would have assumed at least a ModernHumorist.com (another unfunny collection) level of unfunniness. But this beats MH to a bloody pulp. The humour isn't even puerile--at least that would've given it some bit--as it is now, it sits somewhere between the precociousness of Calvin Trillin's cloying self-deprecation and a toilet. It's, well, completely not funny--it couldn't have taken the authors more than a couple of hours and a series of first drafts to come up with this material. And the fact that the publisher deemed this to be market-ready is an insult to the general public's intelligence. For humour--try the Anthology that was just released about a year ago--Mirth of a Nation. In it, you will find a great many authors--Sandra Tsing Loh, David Sedaris, Josh Kornbluth, David Rakoff, and others who actually generate humour. The only thing funny about this book is the sad fact that I purchased it.

If you want a good laugh, without the smut of some comic writer's, you should buy this book. The various short stories are to the point and extremely well written. You will especially love Martha Stewart's plan for the Last Supper. It was a scream!

I ordered this book having at least three months to study. I must say the book reviews a lot but it does fall short in some areas. It would of been a whole lot better if they would of explained the answers to the Practice Test at the end. They did provide explanations to the practice problems but not to the Big Practice Exam they have at the end, though they did provide the answers. The positives about the book is that its exactly like the exam. You get familiar with the way the questions are asked and that was a real plus when i took the test. It was as if i knew where the questions were heading.Best one out there though.

This book is an identical copy of: Allied Health Professions Admission Test (Ahpat) : The Betz Guide (Serial)

I bought both books and am returning the more expensive one, the Betz Guide.

Story of young woman who is given a measure of financial independence by her oppressive father, and how she gradually reaches for some small measure of autonomy. The "Five Towns" are the author's fictionalized version of the corresponding cities of the region in England where the famous potteries & glaziers are.

Frequently, reviewers note the Methodism in this novel -- it does give a look at the everyday lives of Methodism when it was much more controversial (!) than it is today, if it ever was particularly revolutionary in America. I was more struck by the personal circumstances of Anna's plight than her religious questionings, although the latter are definitely imposed on her character by the author.

An interesting attempt by a male author to describe a woman suppressed by her domineering father, by strict moral and religious conventions, and by her own personality.

Described by the prolific author as "my serious novel," _Anna_ is the story of a young woman's struggles to free herself from the oppression of her domineering father. The title character is given a chance to live undreamed-of experiences when she inherits a fortune in properties and business ventures on her 21st birthday. Simultaneously, she finds herself the declared object of affection of one of the town's most desirable men. As her story unfolds, she is attracted to another man, more vulnerable, and must try to resolve many different demands on her sense of duty and her emotions.

Set in the early 1900's, Bennett succeeds in evoking a strong sense of place with his fictionalized Five Towns of the Staffordshire Potteries. Critics have praised his full description of Methodism and Methodist church life of the time, as well. Bennett conveys sympathy for his protagonist and portrays the limitations placed on her for her gender without falling into condescension, concluding, "She had sucked in with her mother's milk the profound truth that a woman's life is always a renunciation, greater or less."

Anna's attempts to expand herself spiritually and personally, and to gain a sense of personal efficacy, make for an interesting read. However, Bennett violates flagrantly the old writer's adage, "Show not tell," as when we are told repeatedly Anna's father is a miser and a tyrant long before we see him saying or doing anything miserly or tyrannical. Further, anyone looking for an intensely psychological novel with thoughts portrayed as stream of consciousness should be aware that Bennett's style descends from a Realist tradition.

This book is now back in-print by Abrams. As are all Abrams books, they are beautifully done. As far as content though, this book is really better suited as a door stop. Very shallow and a lot of clap-trap.

I have owned this book for over two years, and never tire of looking at it. It is beautifully illustrated, handsomely printed,and full of objects so lovely one can almost taste them. I admist to a weakness for gorgeous "coffee-table books," but this effort by Victor Arwas is in my top five.
