This book is an excellent guide to technical writing. It provides clear, organized recommendations that are supported by research. It provides practical advice for writers in situations ranging from writing reports to reviewing colleagues work to creating web pages and writing email. Although there are 20 chapters, because it's so useful and well-written, it's a pretty quick read. A colleague let me borrow it and I think it's the best book I've found yet on the subject.

The authors outline technology for academic environments and describe important facts that should be considered. This book will be beneficial for educators and decision makers by outlining factors that should be considered before adopting new technology.

This book is the only place you will be told about the mysterious Templars of the Christian Brotherhood. The TCB comprise a secret society that fights racism and anti-semitism in America. Included in the book is a revised Manifesto of the TCB written by yours truly, King Saint, the current Grand Master of the TCB. In this book, you will read about the American Trinity (Elvis Presley, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Abraham Lincoln) and the evil Helter Skelter Conspiracy involving the Beatles and Charles Manson et al. If you want information off the beaten track, then this book is for you. The only things missing were reference to the importance of 2001, the Titanic/Beatles/Abraham Lincoln connections and the meaning of Paul Simon's Graceland.

Shalom--King Saint, Grand Master of the Templars of the Christian Brotherhood

i found this book by accident and i will forever be grateful. it is a beautiful, almost intangible conglomerate of poetry that will elevate when taken seriously and slowly. highly, highly recommended.

Paul Shepard is the kind of author that should be read over and over again. Each time through, you will pick up more, and slowly your view of the world will change. In this book, Shepard weaves together anthropology, psychology, social criticism, and prehistory to paint a picture of what we used to be, what we are now, and what we can be in the future. More specifically, Shepard urges us to recapture the form of hunter-gathering. This is not to say that we can turn back the clock of history and go back to the caves. Rather, he is espousing a closer contact with the natural world, which is the only thing that can trigger the crucial psychological transitions that make up our lifecycle. Without this kind of exposure to the Otherness of the real world, we remain locked in adolescence and even pre-adolescence, unable to maturely experience the people and places around us. Read this book, then read "Nature and Madness", then read his other books --- then REREAD them, over and over. His stuff is that good.

Paul Hirt has pulled together some of the best western historians to focus on the Pacific Northwest; from Spanish attempts to settle the coast, to Hanford, irrigation, and post-war race relations. Very readable, comprehensive, and well-done. Anyone looking to understand the Pacific Northwest will enjoy this book.

Are you looking fo a response guide that focuses on the critical issues of emergency responders by emergency responders for terrorism events? Then this is your book.

This guide is chock full of the information you need to be safe and effective at terrorist incidents.

It is in a very user friendly format and it is big enough to refererce and use at the scene of an incident (unlike some other guides I have gotten that are too small and fail to remember in its design what its like at an emergency scene).

The authors have taken the steps to ensure that the information is applicable to emergency responders and the operations we are required to initiate.

I am highly satisfied with this book and carry it with me in my duty bag!

Christen and Maniscalco have done it again with this Law ENforcement specific guide. BRAVO!!

While I was impressed by the very positive reviews by some of the best and brightest in Law Enforcement, there are not enough positive adjectives in the dictionary to describe this book.

Get it, read it, keep it with you while on duty!

Great Job Guys!

In this book we meet, for the first time, Dalt, who becomes the main character in The Healer and part of The LaNague Chronicals. If you've read either of those two, then get this book too. You won't be dissapointed.

This book is simply amazing! Once I pick it up, I can't put it down! I use it all the time on trips and parties. Everybody loves it!
