David Frost is famous for asking intelligent questions and Rev. Billly responds with bright, inspiring and informative answers. Loved it.

This book is filled with many excerpts of the conversations that David Frost had with Billy Graham. You will learn a lot about Graham since Frost has been interviewing him for 30 years. So this is more like an overview of them that is divided into ten categories which includes faith in God, family & marriage, politics, moral & social issues, sin & temptation and more. This is a great book for everyone, especially for people who are in need of a good witness, encouragement, and advice.

And, as one of the photographers who did "Watchable Birds of the Great Basin" (also available through Amazon), I should know. Much of my knowledge about the distribution and physiology of Great Basin birds, and of the history of ornithological discovery in the region, comes from this book.

I was a fan years before I had the pleasure of meeting Ms. Dewey, high atop the Goshute range on the Utah/Nevada border while volunteering for a raptor banding/migratory count project. In fact, she was largely responsible for encouraging me to pursue publishing my own writing and photography.

So - full circle. This book has given me much over the years, my ace-in-the-hole when answering questions from Elderhostel participants in birding classes taught in the SE Oregon portion of the Basin, and at other times in the field.

So it gives me pleasure to give something back, by recommending this book to those who are interested in the bird life of this region.

And the rest of this series is good, too...

Part of an outstanding natural history of the Great Basin series published by UNR. All are very good guides for the interested observer, but Ryser's book is the best in the series. It is written with an emphasis on behavior and adaptations to the stresses of living in the arid Basin. Too heavy for the field, and the detailed text does not lend itself to quick searches.

This book is the result of the authors bringing decades of personal field experience, not "war stories", to all who read it. Add to that the up-to-date tech information provided, the complicatied made simple of moderen archery equipment setup and the intricacies of traditional archery clearly explained makes this book a valuble addition to your archery and hunting library.
If I had to choose only one book to help me understand the how-to and realationships between bow, arrow, accessory equipment, hunter and quarry this would be the one.

This book has helped me improve my bowhunting skills dramatically! I know how to aim better and shoot more consistently. I recommend this book to anyone interested in bowhunting.

Fred Edwards served as an intelligence officer during the Vietnam War and visited very major ground unit from Special Forces camps and ground reconnaissance unites, to armored calvary units, and waterborne reconnaissance units. An invaluable and strongly recommended contribution to the military annals of the Viet Name conflict, Edward's The Bridges Of Vietnam: From The Journals Of A U.S. Marine Intelligence Officer is as vivid and candid memoir of the war from the perspective of a front-line intelligence officer as is available to the non-specialist general reader or military buff.

I have read quite a few books made from journals of individuals in Vietnam. Most are either dry accounts of movements or almost novelized disjointed experiences. This Book "The Bridges of Vietnam : From the Journals of a U. S. Marine Intelligence Office" Is not only chronologically organized, but also has a list of external events that took place at the same time.

With out a frame of reference it would be hard to tell if he was barging or borrowing someone else's idea of Vietnam. However in chapter Three "Internship" he covered the same territory (II Corps TZ) as I did; only he was there six months earlier. I saw his reference to the Fourth Infantry with out any reference to the armed reconnaissance First of the Tenth attached to the Fourth Infantry. I also spent some time in other locations and he does a good job of describing daily life. It looks like he left out how to do the job he does and maybe some things he did. For the most part he was dead accrete as to the people and environment of the time. He makes you feel that you are there.

This book is well worth reading and then keeping as a reference. Especially as time passed and you forget your first taste of warm "33" beer.

A must read. Answers many questions that are repeatedly raised in other bokks on simular topics. Freidman does not waste paper....he provides insights to the last line of the last page...

Where to start ? To get 5 stars, a book must really satisfy many criterias, and this one certainly does.

Its author, Mr. Friedman, deserve among others to be recognized as a brillant pedagogue. The topic is complex but the text is clear and the simple words well chosen, like in his other excellent book: The Hidden Domain. As a reader you are able to think fully about the concepts expressed, without wasting any concentration on sentences analysis. Depending on your learning style, you may prefer like I did the tape version: it lets you think with your eyes closed.

You may have enjoyed David Bohm's unusual interpretations of our world through his master knowledge of quantum physics. You may have been puzzled by Jane Roberts connection with the strange entity Seth. In Bridging Science and Spirit, not only do you get a summary of the most important and philosophical aspects of the above, you are also launched into such powerful explanations of the physical roots of our world that some wild imagination may be needed to fully grasp them.

This book makes you think and almost not believing yourself the potentials of what your mind is trying to visualize: this is why I found the book outstanding.

From permits to the finish coat of paint, this book will guide you through your building process. Burch describes the advantages of different framing methods, roof styles and materials and backs his text with useful reference tables and concise construction details. The book presents plans for five small barns, two two-stall stables, a root and storm cellar, a carport, a tool shed, a woodshed, a smokehouse and shelters for hens, pigs and rabbits.

If you are a "do it your selfer" you need this book. In my opinion, the title is no accurate. This book contains much more than just info on how to build small buildings. It includes how to build a good fence, how to build a smoke house, how to wire a two way switch, ect. It contains everything that is not common knowledge to the common man, and it has lots of pictures. If you live on the farm and do most things yourself, this book is a required tool.

Simple rhyming text celebrates every potential action of wiggly toes, as young African-American children play their way through the pages. The brief line form consists of one present-tense verb paired with the word "toes", and with the imagination of a young listener the poem can continue long after the reader is finished, by using the simple combination of action and "toes".

In the case of "Busy Toes", you sure can tell a book by its cover! The delightful cover illustration of a little girl on her toes invites you to turn the pages with your fingers (or toes). Simple, say-it-all, words accompany each rich illustration of a child manipulating his/her toes. The rainbow of faces reminds us of the wonderful diversity of our world and delight in moving toes serves as a common bond. The authors and illustrator have created a book that will bring a smile to a child and adult alike......and the desire to wiggle your toes!

I just finished Cardiovascular Pathophysiology by Kusumoto and I was truly impressed. I will be entering a pre-med program next year, yet I understood every word of the book. I've read a fair amount of medical textbooks out of interest, yet this is the first one that read as easily as a novel: it gives you all the information you need (ie basic physiology) to understand the pathophysiology of the most common cardiovascular syndromes and doesn't assume that you already know everything. This must be an amazing book for medical students if a high school student can understand its content! The diagrams are clear and frequent, the questions at the end of each chapter are helpful but there are too few of them (4 or 5 per chapter) The systematic approach to each disease makes the content coherent and clear. The information is detailed but not so much that it becomes sterile academic jargon. A must for anyone interested in cardiovascular syndromes, even more so for medical students.

I'm a Consumer Behaviour teacher in a Marketing University in Portugal, and I had problems in finding texts to work with, about this subject.
I usually used some magazines, but it's not easy to build special cases to study and to make some examples, to demonstrate the theory.
I've already read this book, and I can garantee that it's a very helpful book. I adopted it for this year in IPAM (Marketing Administration Portuguese Institute).
... the book is really good.

sorry! i do not have the book yet. i'm a professor of "consumer behaviour" in Universidad Iberoamericana in México, city. so if you have any comments about it i'll be ready to heard them.

I was born, raised and educated through college in Alabama, and I was riveted by Hal Crowther's account of life and culture in the South. I couldn't put it down; my husband kept asking why I was laughing out loud. It covers the gamut of everything Southern--from race relations to dogs to barbeque to Elvis. Crowther is a sympathetic writer, but pulls no punches and is not (in my view) the least bit revisionist about the South's mottled history. You'll enjoy the book more if you've paid homage at the altar of Southern literature--Eudora Welty, William Faulkner, Walker Percy. I would recommend it especially to any Southern ex-pats. Fire up your grill, make some iced tea (or pour yourself a bourbon if you're so inclined), put an Elvis CD on the stereo, and kick back.

This book is really worth your time. Hal Crowther is funny and serious and highly original, even with the South's easy targets, like Elvis or the Southern Belle. Even when Hal Crowther is highly critical, he really gets at the essence of why regionalism is relevant, especially when he's writing about about literature and religion.
