Pam,Anna and Lulu are going camping. Before Lulu leaves her father gives her a small camera because he is leaving. When Lulu is going along a trail on the Wiggins Estate she is taking pictures when Snow White steps in a trap. Who is Trapping on the Wiggins Estate?

It is the best book because the Pony Pals worked together to help the pony Snow White.

While riding on Ms.Wiggins trails Lulu gets her pony's hoof trapped in a animal trap. Ms.Wiggins would not allow that! Can the Pony Pals save the animals?

As an educator of over 20 years, I have used many elementary texts on surveying. This is by far the most comprehensive and easy to understand book for the student wishing to learn from the basics to advanced surveying topics. One of the things that I like about this book is that I have found it is applicable to both the on campus courses at the University of Wyoming as well as the off campus courses that we offer to experienced, practicing surveyors around the country. The topics are just as suited for my students in Florida as they are in New York, California, Mississippi or Hawaii, and that's saying a lot since the laws are different in all regions of the country. I have found that using this book has been very easy to present material useful to students taking the classes in any state while preparing for the FLS or LS exam, because it covers the topics to about the right amount of depth as the exam expects the examinee to comprehend. The only downfall of the book as I see it is that there are numerous wrong answers (in the back of the book)to the selected homework problems that answers are provided for. This can be frustrating at times as you can imagine. If you can find me, I'd be happy to forward a list of these erroneous answers, and the correct answers. This might be very useful for other educators. As per the rules of posting reviews, I can't put my email address on here. Bummer.

Simply the best surveying text. The best feature is the way it introduces the basic concepts of a topic followed by a section of advanced concepts concerning the topic. This makes the book an essential reference for both students and practioners. This book is highly recommended.

I graduated form a Tech. school that used this book as the source of study. I thought that it, with the help of my instructor, was a great refrence. I still use it today to look up anything from state plane coordinates to legal descriptions.

over all its a good book to have.

Flash MX Application & Interface Design explores advanced flash navigations built with Flash MX. The first chapter of the book details everything you'd ever want or need to know about pre-loading. The last chapter contains some handy tips for dealing with Flash video. The meat of the book covers advanced navigations built with flash-sometimes so advanced it borders on useless. However, the value is not so much in what the authors built using Flash, but how they built it using actionscript.

Some authors from the book obviously assume their readers possess expert-level knowledge of OOP, classes, inheritance, and creating objects. As I waded through a couple of scripts, I felt as if the authors expected a certain level of familiarity with OOP from me. In addition, the examples in the book are quite complex. If a reader wishes to take the examples and use the lessons found within them, he or she will either need extraordinary persistence or advanced scripting skills.

Nevertheless, the book contains a wealth of code for the advanced scripter; enough to keep an enthusiastic reader busy for many weeks. The book also showcased the drawing API through several chapters and gives great coverage of creating text fields in Flash MX. I enjoyed the varied perspectives offered by the different authors, particularly the chapter related to using an XML document to populate an interface/navigation.

i haven't seen a single book that sells the role flash mx should play in interface design and applications development as this one.

a definite must have for every designer/developer.

note: if you don't even read it... display it proudly on your shelf.

At first I have to admit when I seen this title, I thought hmmmm a book about flash and designing, can't be too interesting, but after reading it and lookinig at the case studies, I quickly changed my mind. I have to say this is one amazing book. If your a flash designer, then this book is a must! It has case studies from preloaders (ah you say whats the big deal with that?) believe me, just the prloaders alone are worth the price of the book, then it goes into how to make a website that is not just appealing visually but some totally amazing coding to go with it, then it goes into projects like the totally insane family tree (I have yet to see anything coded or visually appealing as this project is, you have to see this one to believe it), then how to use xml to create an insane directory (or it can be used as a menu) then comes php (Ok this is where it starts to go into orbit, a full website thats easy to navigate and extremly eye appealing). You want stickiness? check out the growing plant case study. Unbelievable project! then also theres the t-shirt designing art program (which can be converted into an online art program for various purposes) and also the use of video (now this is not just a normal video case study) on the side it shows you what steps a karate guy is making top view in graphics as the karate guy does his moves (one great how to do karate tutorial for online) which can also be converted into other things as well. So there you have it a book jammed packed full of totally insane case studies. Some have surpassed anything Ive seen yet! I was thikning of giving this book a 4 star rating when I got about halfway through it, I have no choice but to give it a 5 star rating, it's just way to good not too.
If your a flash designer or just a flash programmer, you need this book!

First I've to say that I've read this book after learning GR on Ray d'Inverno and Misner-Thorne-Wheeler. This means that one shoud gain a little confidence with tensor calculus before using this text (otherwise one could not be able to appreciate the great physical insight of this book). One more time Dirac taught me how to study Physics: which are the right questions one has to look for an answer, without missing too much time on special cases of an idea that do not add anything fundamental to the latter. This is a book I'd recommend to everyone who already knows the subject or to anyone who feels he could know more about it: and all of that in less than 70 pages !!!

In only 69 pages, Dirac lucidly develops the major results of general relativity. Owing to its size, the book has no "introduction", meaning that, although background material is given, it consists only of those equations which are required in the latter portions of the text. If the reader has had no previous exposure to tensor analysis, this background material will not be sufficient.

Dirac's presentation is so organized and concise that the subject matter appears as a trivial application of tensor analysis. The reviewer was elated to understand the subject in such mathematically tenable terms. Of course, as with Dirac's other works, the theory is developed in the most efficient manner possible. It is a perfect *presentation* of the theory, but the reader does not *participate* in its motivation or development.

To those who seek a more complete (and leisurely) presentation of general relativity, Levi-Civita's Absolute Differential Calculus and Eddington's Mathematical Theory of Relativity are among the best classical texts.

This is a great little book for the well prepared reader. An introductory course (or two) would be very helpful before attempting this book. Once one has the basics, then this book will enhance one's understanding by emphasising through economy of word and subject matter what the theory is all about.

I think this book is great.Acorn does too.Lulu loves her white welsh pony snow white.But Lulu must give her back to Rema.Snow white is her pony.Lulu is upset to see and hear how Rema treats Snow white.Not even a party can make her feel better.Then Lulus dad comes home and the Pony Pals must convince Rema to let Lulu buy Snow white.Will Lulu and Snow white be together 4-eva?Find Out.

Lulu has to give Snow White to the snobby Rema. Rema locks up Snow White and treats her badly. Lulu gets to buy Snow White afterwards, thankfully. If I could I would rate this story 100 stars!

lulu has leased a pony from Rema.As soon as Rema comes home from boarding school Lulu has to give snowhite back.This is a good book now you read it.

So far I have read the first three books in this series, and I have rewritten this review to reflect that.

If you've read other of my reviews, I am trying to introduce more helpful, balanced reviews of fantasy novels, rather than the misleading "5 star" reviews which overly dominate.

What are the 5 star reviews correct about? First of all, this is a delightfully mature novel. There is sex when sex is appropriate, but without pruriance. The characters are mature figures. I have never enjoyed fantasy novels with juvenile characters (even when I was child). Kearney apparently agrees. The characters are mature wizards, young but wise and knowledgeable kings, an experienced merchant sailor captain, a mature noble woman, middle aged clerics, and so on. People act and think maturely. Secondly, the novel is extraordinarily well-written. Kearney has an excellent touch, with descriptive prowess, clear dialogue, and extremely (almost encyclopedic) informed jargon. He weaves in battle realism taken from his study of medieval warfare -- it's utterly accurate. Thirdly, the novel is imaginative, with a believable, fully fleshed out world, centered around political intrigue.

Originally I gave this book 3 stars, but I am revising that upwards based on the later books in the series. The weakness with the first book is one of the things that others rave about: the main orientation of this first novel is political intrigue, mainly between the Church and the Kings. But what is at first refreshing and well done, becomes repetitive. The relationship among The Church (which is grabbing for power), the Kings, and the peasantry, is not too hard to understand. Scene after scene repeats the mantra. At the same time, action grinds to a halt. Though Kearney can write great action scenes, relatively little happens toward the end of the book. In fact, now and then a shape-shifter or other interesting character pops up, but for the most part almost all of the characters could have stepped out of 14th century Europe. I became frustrated that such an exciting world ended up so little used. I was hoping that in the next books some of the imaginative promise would be fulfilled, and I was not disappointed.

The repetitiveness found in the first book disappears afterwards. The second book increases the imaginativity found in the first book, as Kearney develops the story of the Western continent. Church and state politics is embedded now in character-driven action, not setup. The third book is almost unbelievable in its action: pure action, briskly paced. I couldn't believe it was Kearney. It might be the most exciting fantasy book I've ever read, judged in terms of ratio of action to pages.

You will not be disappointed by this series, but don't get bogged down in this first book.

let me qualify my review prior to starting. I am a military veteran, lover of all things nautical, and avid historian. I enjoy fantasy books, but often find them lacking some element, aimed at the over the top trials of a hero or teenage protagonist. I stumbled across Paul Kearney without preconception.

I have been very impressed.

Hawkwood's Voyage is the initial book in Kearney's "MoG" series. He writes of a gritty, realistic fantasy world, an exotic, but familiar place. It is a world of magic, but there are no wizards washing dishes with spells. It is a land of demons, but the scheming and savage humans who call this world home are far more dangerous than werewolves or spirits. In short, it is very "real", with magic dancing on the edges rather than flaming in the center.

I found this series to be a perfect fit to me. Kearney is a master of depicting military campaigns, and pulls no punches when describing the horror of war. His sailing scenes are true to that genre, and if he chose he could weave a tale of sword and sail better than any 21st century Author I have read save perhaps Lamden.

If you are looking for a low-fantasy world, gritty and harsh, with a hint of magic and a dash of seafarer's spice, pick up this book. You will not be let down.

Fantasy novels these days are usually very cliched and it seems that author's feel that they have the right to steal plots from other authors. Because of things like this, fantasy can get boring. In Paul Kearney's "Hawkwood's Voyage" this is not the case. This is a very original novel that is entertaining right from the prologue.

War is raging in the Five Kingdoms and the Merduk army is the main cause of this. The holy city of Aekir, what was the holiest city in the world and was supposed to be one of the strongest cities, has fallen. This is where the novel opens up. Now, the king of Hebrion is starting a voyage to go across the Great Western Ocean to start a whole new colony. The voyage will be lead by mariner Richard Hawkwood. This voyage was done twice before but failed. This is the basic plot of a very original fantasy novel.

This book has lots of main characters which makes this book similar in a way to George R.R. Martin's series. This novel takes place all over the world. Places included are Richard Hawkwood's boat in the middle of the ocean all the way Ormann Dyke, a city that is under the threat of attack. This novel is politically and militarily oriented. The politics are that of the standing of the Five Kingdoms and how the Kings react to what is going on in the world. Military wise, you are taken to battle plannings and actual battles themselves.

This book is not cliched is very suspenseful. This was fun to read while I am waiting for the next book in my favorite series, a series by George R.R. Martin. While this book isn't as detailed as that series it still embodies some of the same attributes as that series, such as good characterisation, good plotting, and suspense. This book would be good for a GRRM fan in addition to anybody that is looking for a highly original book. I am looking forward to reading the next book in this series.

Happy Reading!

I liked this book because it was a true story. It happened in Johnstown,Pennsylvania on the day after Memorial Day in 1889. It was one of the worst floods anyone has ever experienced. I also liked this book because it had a lot of action unlike some other books I've read. For example, everybody was yelling and running because of the 20,000,000 tons of water that came from Lake Conemaugh after the dam broke. Eveything happened so quickly. It took less then 10 minutes from start to finish.

I would recommend this book to a friend because it tells about the history of one of the biggest floods. It happened in Johnstown, Pennsylvania on May 31,1889. More then 2,000 people died.

I liked this book because it was historical and true. It was about the biggest flood in the United States history. It happened on Merch 31,1889.
I also liked the book because something nice came out of something sad. The sad thing is that 2,209 people died. The good thing is that the people of nearby Pittsburg helped Johnstown. From all over Pittsbrug they loaded up a train with supplies of blankets, canned food, fresh water, and other goods for the people left in Johnstown.

I believe that the other reviewers here may not have understood Franco's (admittedly unobvious) intent in this work. Certainly the greater portion of the book is devoted to an explication of Hegel's essentially post-mediaeval notions of `ability,' with particular attention paid to those seemlingly inconsistent areas aligned with the early Christian modes of thought, but--useful as this is--it is merely the foundation for Franco's presentation of his own theory of `paralysis of will' in late 19th and 20th century political discourse. One is tempted to gloss over this short section, since at first glance it seems a trivial sort of nonsense, but a close reading in the light of his comments on Heigel's later period reveals that Franco does indeed cast new and interesting light on post-Leninist Marxism. This, unfortunately, is obsecured by some meandering in the later parts, and certainly bringing Ayn Rand into it (however indirectly) was entirely uncalled for. Still, beyond the unquestionably excellent study of Hegel himself, this book has something interesting to offer modern philosophers.

I hesitate to use this review as a "discussion board", but I'm afraid TMChurch has somewhat glossed over the shortcomings in Mr. Franco's achievement. While it is, without a doubt, a substantial bit of research, Franco veers off course, neglecting the import of Hegel's private life on his all-too-public philosophy. Missing are the hazy, misbegotten 'Amsterdam Years' of Hegel's youth and the reckless university pranks and mayhem that made Hegel the philosopher everyone loves to scrath their collective heads over.

To Mr. Franco - a good work that simply requires a finer brush stroke. To TMChurch: a more careful read is in order!

As a Slobovian, it has always been difficult to accept Hegel's edification of the Prussian State. After all Prussia, in guises including but not limited to Nazi Germany, the Papist Church, the Uncircumcised turks, Croat fascist biker gangs, and italin black shirts on bicycles, has invaded my beloved land many times. Mr. Franco shows me that Hegel was more than just a rightist apologist for this tyranny, and more than simpply a precursor to godless marxism....he like Thomas Jefferson, Robbespierre, Ronald Reagan, and the late and famous slobovian rock star Czicik Kromonobicka was a believer in freedom. thank you for writing this book even if my english does not enable me to truly comprehend it.

I'm a technical writer and website builder who asked the webmaster of a national PC manufacturer's site what was the very best book to buy to learn MacroMedia's Dreamweaver -- and he said without missing a beat, "Believe it or not, get DREAMWEAVER FOR DUMMIES! You can go to college with web engineers learning this stuff and you'll see them carrying this book around." Need I say more?

This book is extremely easy to use, but you should have somewhat of a background on the subject.

I like Dummies books because they lack a tutorial - this book gets right to the point. I prefer to dive right into my project and work it out as I go. I am familiar with other web editors, but new to Dreamweaver and this book has given me the overview that I wanted without having to suffer through a tutorial I didn't really want to work on or mounds and mounds of detail that I don't even need (or that I can find on the web somewhere else.) My web site is relatively simple, though large, so the Dummies book fit the bill.

Rather than just leave monuments all over the world saying, "hey, this is what is about to happen to us, and the same will eventually happen to you", an advanced civilization 10,000 years ago decided to leave the warning in such a cryptic way, using astrology adjusted for precession, etc, that no one in their right mind would take it seriously. To me that says that no such message was left, and is merely the product of a living imagination. Yet another book which takes catastrophe and tries to get it to behave by making it periodical and predictable.

One of the most interesting books I've read in a LONG TIME! Paul A. LaViolette is truly a Renaissance Man when it come knowledge. His never-ending curiosity has put together astronomy, astrology, tarot, mythology, hard-core science, legends, and a few hunches of his own . . . and out came a truly revolutionary theory on the periodic and cyclical extinctions that have occurred on our planet. It's been handed down to us in all of the above mentioned forms . . . but most of mankind chooses to ignore it. Paul has some REALLY good arguments for his theories. We need more people who choose to question the status quo instead of blinding believing what is set before them by the educational and religious community. GO, PAUL, GO!!

When I was reading and not understanding the symbolism in the Book of Revelation, Paul's book was like a floodlight in a strange mansion where rooms were filled with dark mysteries, until Paul revealed revelation in a new light. Now I understand what it means, eg. 'He comes with the clouds! are solar wind clouds, cosmic dust, and the blue light in the black sky, its all explained in a new and original, prophetic way. Hooray Paul!
