As a chemical engineer, this book rates up there with Perry's on value of information. Chopey does a very nice job of including detailed step-by-step calculations for a multitude of subjects. The many examples are very relevant to the text and provide good insight to the calculation process. The book is very well organized and easy to use.

This book really came in handy in studying for the boards. Lots of useful information, but organized by symptom instead of disease. The authors did a good job of sticking to the important material and leaving out most of the trivia. I only wish I had had it at the beginning of neurology residency.

This book is a must-have for teachers, administrators and parents of the gifted. The diversity of articles includes all the hot topics of gifted education written by some of the best known experts in the field. This book is especially good for the serious reader who has some background in the field. It should be on every gifted educator's bookshelf.

As a third year pharmacy student, I am particularly impressed with the organization and conciseness of this guidebook to non-prescription products. This text is simple to follow, for health care professionals and also the average consumer who has questions and concerns about medications that they are buying over-the-counter.

This is an amazing volume of poetry. It is very modern and refreshing. No cobwebs here!

Clearly, this work is the bible for any professional in the field of international relations. While devoted to the study and evolution of the G-7 process, the work underlines the fundamental role of the major industrialized powers in shaping 20th century geopolitical realities.

A wonderful intoduction to the dark side of art dealing. I was absorbed by the mystery, and by the author's obvious knowledge of the art and the art world. A real page turner

I have practiced Hausa in Niger, North of Nigeria, for 12 years. Practical Hausa! I had a dictionary from Hausa to English. I had always wanted to find a complete dictionary (with tones and marks)from a European language to Hausa. This is what I find useful in the Hippocrene Practical Dictionary of Mr. Nicholas Awde. I am very pleased that so many words used in Niger have been recorded. This is why this dictionary could be called the International Hausa Dictionary. I find it so useful that I just ordered two new copies for my co-workers in Niger. The interreligious dialogue will also be promoted by quite a few words coming from both the Islamic and Christian tradition. Of course, somebody must have noticed already that the names of the Days of the Week are a little bit mixed up, (page 450, in the appendix, but they are correct in the dictionary itself). Otherwise the appendixes will be useful both to the English and the Hausa speakers. Sannu da aiki! Barka, Mr. Awde! Kaa yi kokari! Mr. Neil Skinner is surely proud of you.

When my companion dog of 13 years died, my mother sent this book from England. Nicholas Allan's charming pictures and gentle story help ease the pain of losing a beloved pet.

Allan doesn't make death fun, or scary or even mysterious. One morning Lily find Dill packing to leave, and from the get-go it's clear she can't go along. But as with real death, the finality of parting is coupled with the hope that the loved one will somehow still be there, watching, caring and ultimately - waiting.

As Dill prepares his suitcase, Lily hears what he thinks Heaven will be like. And when she finally finds a new friend, she remembers Dill's words and puts them into practice.

This is a wonderful little book. One that still brings comfort and sweet memories, helps soothe the dull ache of loss and reinforces the belief that lessons learned lead to a better life.

Hilda Rix Nicholas: Her Life And Art is the biographical survey of a truly remarkable artist and her unique artistic achievements. She held several solo exhibitions in Europe and Australia, and in 1926 was elected an associate of the Societe Nationale des Beaux Arts in Paris. Yet despite being a phenomenal painter, she has been virtually ignored by western art historians and either excluded from or marginalized in the annals of Australian art history. That sad omission is now superbly remedied through this magnificent edition detailing her life's work and accomplishments. John Pigot documents & profusely illustrates the enduring talent of remarkable artist who refused to comply with the restrictive role socially, culturally, and professional imposed on other women artists of her time. The challenging nature of her work and her unwillingness to accept a subordinate position within the artistic hierarchy made it virtually impossible for her to achieve the kind of recognition that she so richly deserved -- then or (until the publication of this fine art history) now. Hilda Rix Nicholas is enthusiastically recommended reading for students of art history and 20th Century women's history studies.
