I think this is one of the greatest books I've ever read. We've had dogs all of my life, and this book has some wonderful tips on everything you could ever want to know.

Kudos to Kim Campbell Thortnon and Dr. Fortney! Our dog is 2 and is a beautiful Husky, however he really likes to put our hands in his mouth. We've had some awful advice from trainers - even AKC trainers that I wouldn't even consider. This book has helped immensely!

This book is comprehensive and incredibly useful. Anyone who is interested in designing or interpreting an experiment or a quasi-experiment in the social and behavioral sciences would benefit greatly by reading it.

Right now, Amazon and competitors are only able to get this book through used channels, but it is worth it. This book got me through college and every department wanting a different citation style. It is spiral bound, lays flat and includes the three major styles: MLA, APA and Chicago (aka Turabian). If you need a reference guide for writing papers, this is the best i've seen.

I first discovered this book when one of my history professors recommended it. Now, I always keep it nearby when I write. It gives directions for writing great papers and contains the latest citation information for the Chicago, MLA, and APA styles (different teachers often prefer different styles). Also, Slade gives the information in a concise manner (only 297 full size pages). Because of this, I highly recommend it for those who write research papers frequently, especially college students. Here is a chapter summary:

1) Writing a Research Paper: This section explains the basics of writing a research paper and is very useful to the novice. It deals with choosing a topic, preparing a bibliography, library research techniques, organizing the paper, writing drafts, and proofreading. This chapter also includes sample research pages.

2) Elements of Theses and Dissertations: Slade tells how to write abstracts, make title pages, organize chapters, and arrange reference materials. This section also includes sample pages.

3) Quotations: This part teaches the reader how to use direct and indirect quotations, as well as proper punctuation and capitalization. She also gives examples from the 3 major styles.

4) Style and Mechanics: Slade explains in detail the style (e.g. diction, tense, unbiased language) and mechanics (e.g. spelling, italics, hyphenation) of a good paper.

5) Tables, Figures, and Computer Materials: This chapter demonstrates proper usage and placement of figures and tables (including those generated by computer). Sample figures are provided.

6) The Finished Copy: Slade recaps previous chapters, explains about equipment and supplies (e.g. paper quality) and gives typing and printing instructions.

7) Chicago Manual Style: This section explains how to do endnotes, footnotes, and bibliographies in this style. There are examples from all types of sources (books, periodicals, etc.). She even includes electronic and web sources.

8) MLA Style: Slade explains how to cite works in the text and properly create a bibliography in the MLA style. As with the Chicago, she gives examples from many types of sources, including the internet.

9) American Psychological Association Style: This section demonstrates how to cite sources in the text and the bibliography according to the APA guidelines. It too explains how to cite many types of sources, including internet and electronic.

There is an appendix that includes legal citations and state abbreviations, a glossary of terms, and an index.

This volume has a great deal of information in it, though for the most interesting stories, one has to know some historical background in order to read between the lines. The records translated by William Campbell were written by missionaries, officials of the Dutch East India Company, and other observers of the brief Dutch occupation of southwestern Formosa (Taiwan)in the early 17th century.

The records tell the story of how the Dutch built forts (at the site of the present day city of Tainan) in order to trade with the Taiwan Aborigines, the Chinese, and the Japanese. There are also descriptions of the native people and the efforts to convert them to Christianity. Only traces of the culture described in these records remain, and the descendants of the people with whom the Dutch had most intimate contact have become more or less assimilated into the Chinese population that has immigrated to Taiwan over the past four centuries.

The usual characteristics of colonialism are all there: the exchange of diseases, transformation of the landscape, immigration from other areas, and so forth. One of the most interesting themes is the practice of ritual abortion among the Aborigines of southwestern Taiwan. These abortions were required and performed by female religious leaders. The Dutch missionaries, in their efforts to eliminate abortion, had these priestesses banished from the villages under their control.

This volume is indispensable for those interested in the history of Taiwan, and also contains interesting information about colonialism and the history of indigenous peoples. Military history buffs may be interested in the accounts of the siege of the Dutch forts and eventual victory of the Chinese rebel, Koxinga.

The book I read was The Last Lap by William Campbell Gault. The genre weas fiction. I thought it was a great book. It had lots of action and kept me on the edge of my seat at all times. I can't wait to read more of his books. The book is about a kid that is about twenty-three years old. He starts racing cars at fairgrounds but he gets in a crash on the last lap and is knocked unconscious for twenty-three hours. Later when he wakes up he starts recing nascar (National Association of Stock Car Racing).he and his Uncle Luke love racing cars. His Uncle Luke races the first half of the race and then he races the other half. Icant tell you the end because if i did then you wouldn't want to read it. I would recommend this book to anyone that likes books with cars in it.

Parker carefully balances his focus on Milton's life and the poet's immortal works. Parker begins his study by letting the reader know that he is both a lover of Milton's art and an admirer of Milton the individual. One who devotes time to this considerable study will certainly obtain similar sentiments.

The Booknews,Inc. review pretty much says all there is to say. A fantastic book, shame it's now out of print. If you see a copy, BUY IT!
