This book is absolutely stunning. The photographs are lovely and the text provides invaluable information. This book is an important resource and I highly recommend it.

This book, long a standard, is well-organized, clear, concise, accurate, and inexpensive. It covers all of the basic measures associated with mortality and fertility. It shows formulas and example calculations and is ideal as a self-teaching guide, textbook, and reference tool. A must for any would-be demographer.

"Method of Rhetorical Criticism: A Twentieth-Century Perspective" remains one of the standard collections of essays in the field. The primary reason for this is that for each critical perspective, from the traditional to the postmodern, the editors provide an essay laying out the theoretical premises and then a second one which puts that particular critical theory into practice. So, for example, the Dramaturgical Perspective is covered in Bernard L. Brock's "Rhetorical Criticism: A Burkeian Approach Revisited" and then the theory is applied in David S. Bridsell's "Ronald Reagan on Lebannon and Grenada: Flexibility and Interpretation in the Application of Kenneth Burke's Pentad." This format works very well with students, both undergraduates and graduates, because whether they are more comfortable with the abstract theory or the critical application, they can use the one to better understand the other. Furthermore, included are some of the most honored essays in the field by not only the editors but Lawrence W. Rosenfield, Ernest G. Bormann, Walter R. Fisher, Karlyn Kohrs Campbell, Kathleen Hall Jamieson and Celeste Condit Railsback. Unless you can put together your own packet of essays for your students, this volume will serve you well in providing a foundation for a class in rhetorical criticism.

The six major categories of rhetorical criticism covered in this collection: (1) The Traditional Perspective, which includes the Neo-Aristotelian Approach (and Marie Hochmuth Nichols classic look at "Lincoln's First Inaugural") and the Historical Approach; (2) The Experiential Perpspective consists of the Eclectic and Epistemic approaches; (3) The Dramaturgical Perspective covers the Dramatistic Approach, Fantasy Theme Analyais, and the Narative Paradigm; (4) The Sociological Perspective presents the Sociolinguistics, Generic, Social Movements and Feminist approaches; and (5) The Postmodern Perspective has both the Constructionist and Deconstructionist approaches. These sections are bracketted by an introductory essay on rhetorical criticism and a concluding piece on "Decisions in Rhetorical Criticism."

Myeloma is a very difficult and deadly sickness with no cure. Many people are misdiagnosed for years. This Handbook expands on what the IMF says in their booklet so extensively that I recommend it highly as an educational even though technical tool. Great job by Oxford Press and my only regret is that there is no simple way to update it more often. So far there were 1995 and 1998 editions, I look forward to the 2001 edition which could mean an overhaul of the themes. A few non focus subjects on the sickness could be eliminated.

A very authoritative book. Will be of interest to Leibniz scholars, historians of philosophy, and philosophers. Definitely worth the money!

As a neurology resident, I find this book to be extraordinarily helpful. It is, as the title of this review suggests, the first text I consult for any neuropathology question. It is also an outstanding resource for concise summaries of the clinicopathological hallmarks of a wide variety of conditions.

The book contains numerous high-quality photographs of gross anatomical pathology and histopathology. The text is well-written, clear and concise. There are a number of handy summary tables in each section. The overall layout of the book is clear, aesthetically pleasing, and visually appealing. The color coding of different sections is helpful in reviewing a given topic, and the index is complete.

Some previous reviews suggested that bibliographic references could be more complete. While this is true, I find it to be a minor point in such an otherwise outstanding text. For comprehensive treatment of any given subject, other, more detailed textbooks are available, but few can rival the clarity of text and quality of pictures in Ellison et al.

From the perspective of an academic neurologist in training, this is the one neuropathology book I want to have on my bookshelf. It is an outstanding contribution to the field.

Robert H. Schuller is a man who knows about life. He has been through all kinds of struggles and heartaches. Yet he has learned much from the greatest Possibility Thinker whoever lived. His name is Jesus. And in this Bible you will find many links discussing today's obstacles and how you can rely on God to help you overcome them. This Book contains great study aids and wonderful articles to help you on your positive journey with the Lord. Most Bibles just present the Word and that in and of itself is enough. What the New Possibility Thinkers Bible does is embrace areas of thought that have been largely ignored in evangelical circles. Namely health, nutrition, attitude and destiny. This Bible will take you on a totally complete spiritual journey. Dr. Schuller is an American treasure and this Bible is thoroughly inspiring. God will be more real, more involved and more influential in every area of your life. Give this Bible a try!

New York mustered the second largest number of troops for the war, in total over 50,000 men! From records in the NY State Comptroller's Office these volumes provide an unique source of information for the historian or geneological researcher. There is a convenient index to the first volume.

A must have!
