WILL NEVER THINK OF THE OLD WEST THE SAME AGAIN
MR. EVERETT DID A GOOD JOB OF SHOWING A DIFFERENT SIDE TO THE OLD WEST IN THIS TRULY HILARIOUS TALE OF TWO TOTALLY OPPOSITE MEN. CURT, A SIMPLE MAN WITH LITTLE COMMON SENSE AND BUBBA, AN AFRICAN AMERICAN TRACKER, TRAVELING TOGETHER IN SEARCH OF CURT'S WIFE AFTER SHE WAS ABDUCTED BY A TRAVELING GROUP OF THEIVES. THE MISADVENTURES ARE SURE TO LEAVE YOU TICKLED. MY FAVORITE SCENE IS WHEN CURT IS BURIED STANDING UP TO HIS NECK IN THE GROUND WITH HIS HORSE ALSO BURIED THE SAME WAY NEXT TO HIM IN THE DESERT OF THE WEST. IT WILL BE A WHILE BEFORE YOU'LL FORGET THESE CHARACTERS. HAPPY READING

This book was awesome!
I wish I had this book before we studied the Mayas in my sixth grade social studies class. This is better than any book I've seen because it has great color pictures of the gods, a map of the Mayan kingdom, and it explains about the gods in simple, easy to understand English. It also has a pronunciation guide and a guide to Mayan numbers. It's a great reference book for elementary and middle school kids studying the Mayans.

The beautiful pictures illustrate this cultural wonder!
Leonard Everett Fisher has created such a beautiful set of portraits of this ancient and mysterious culture. My elementary students laughed in delight of the rhythmical musings of the great emperor and were able to remain focused during the entire story. The story as written by Mr. Fisher lent itself to further discussions about the implications of building the Great Wall, including a cost-benefit analysis of the labor lost in constructing such a feat of wonder! I highly recommend this book to anyone for its illustrous drawings and the language chosen to convey this important part of human history.

Review of "A Guided Tour of Excel 5"
Although Excel 2000 is currently out, I still find this book a valuable asset in helping me decipher Excel. The author is funny and gives great tips. He doesn't dumb it up, though. The book is well organized and I found the examples helpful and represenative of trying to solve problems in the real world. If you are trying to learn Excel for the first time, this is your book.

Handbook of Vadose Zone Characterization & Monitoring
This is a well written and well organized book offering a great deal of information on this complicated three phase system. The authors explain the partitioning of the contaminant flow into nonaqueous, dissolved, gaseous and sorbed phases. The authors have also made an effort to discuss problems and limitations related to vadose zone monitoring which I have found useful when developing workplans and understanding and interpreting data.

A clear guide....
This was a required text for a counseling class I'm taking. I find this book to be very informative and interesting. Although this book is geared toward Christian counsleors, it is also applicable to non-Christians - or if you're just looking for ways to improve your marriage. This book is not written at all like a textbook. It's very straight-forward and easy to read. Very little technical language is used, and even that is clearly explained.

I believe that this book is very, very good. It's giving me a clearer idea of how to counsel and what a counselor's main objectives are. I recommend this book to anybody interested in counseling, and even those who are already professional counselors. This book is applicable to Christians and non-Christians alike.

A truly touching book of faith
This book was one of the best books I have ever read. If you ever feel like a good cry (no matter how tough you are) this is it. Yet is much more than that, it is a story of true faith in Jesus. Faith of a child, faith of a family, and faith taught by a child. I highly recommend this book to you.


India's Information Revolution

Average review score:

Singhal's book is a must-read for communicaton/development.
"India's Information Revolution" outlines the historical and social development of India's mass media. It is a must-read communication handbook for any serious student or researcher of India or even communication and development studies. The authors' organize and present benchmark information on the overall media development as well as specific media. In a sense, this book is the handbook of communication and development studies for the Indian Subcontinent.

In the early chapter's Singhal and Rogers define communication and development as using media to enhance social change. The rest of the book provides numerous summaries and detailed case studies exhibiting how the media in India are used to empower societal change. Singhal provdes interesting angles and dimensions of the cultural consequences of media as when he reports that Hindu's performed "purifying" ceremonies before watching the televised version of a great Indian epic.----Mark Fabiano
