I bought this as a supplement for my first two semesters of Econ and I ended up using it more than my textbook!!

I used this book for the AP Macro and Micoeconomics exams, and I scored two 4's. I am currently taking Introduction to Economics at UC Berkeley, and this book serves as a better resource than the expensive textbook.

I got an A in UCB's Econ 1 course.

I used this book and CLEP official guide for microeconomics CLEP test, and passed with 92nd percentile. Highly recommended for those taking CLEP.

The book not only documents the terrible events of that tragic day but provides a balanced historical prospective of the firm's philosophy and a description of the business itself that helps to understand how the firm has been able to triumpth over the tragedy. It is a particularly timely book in these times of great public mistrust of corporate culture.

The title explains it best. Reading this book will give anyone the drive and inspiration to move forward through even the worst of circumstances. Although the loss of nearly 70 employees and the death of fathers and sons may have brought this boutique firm to its knees, the entire office fought back to secure even a stronger position in the investment banking world. There have been thousands of stories that have come from the disaster of September 11, none have been told as well as this one.

Dr. Miller and Dr. Bachrach have written a wonderful book. Dr. Miller was actually my daugther's ortho doctor until he took time off to help write this book. Dr. Bachrach is currently treating my daughter. I love the fact that they have made this book easy to understand and that it answers questions that you might never think to ask while you are in the clinic with your child.

This book allows you to catalog your progress. It gives great tips and encouragement that we all need. Its a "I CAN DO IT POSITIVE APPROACH"!! I found it whitty and truly feel I have a personal trainer walking along with me.

Highly recommended even for seasoned IP litigators; although this is a casebook, it has very thoughtful notes reminiscent of Hart & Wechsler's Fed. Courts casebook.

This history of American Public Health chronicles health perspectives of scavengers and public health workers to physicians and businessmen. It follows medicine as it evolved from bleeding victims and "miasmas" to technologically advanced medicine such as vaccines and x-rays. With a very good account of the history of infectious disease (yellow fever, and cholera), it aptly avoids the downfall of Whig history in assigning the fundamental reasons for the health initiatives. For a complete and concise history of American Public Health since the founding of the United States, read this book! It is an easy read for those who want general information, but is detailed enough (with great bibliographical information) for those interested in exploring any one aspect of the these issues further.

As a lifelong Vermonter, now wintering in Florida, this book is a "must have" to remind me and my family of the special quality of life in the Green Mountains of Vermont. The book is a well written history of the state and includes splendid photographs of diverse scenes throughout the state.

Ibson's book is absolutely brilliant in the way it looks at Irish-Americans on their own terms. The Irish have not simply been assimilated into American culture; they continue to retain a rich cultural and ethnic heritage that manifests itself in numerous ways, from humor, politics, popular culture, and almost every aspect of Irish-American life. This is a must read for anyone interested in American history or Irish-Americans. The book is tough to get, but it is all the sweeter when you get your hands on this little gem.

The book, Black Water, authored by Joyce Carol Oates, is fiction that closely resembles a real incident that involved the powerful, political Kennedy family. This story is about a young lady named Kelly, who found herself smittem with a popular senator. The two find themselves in a life threatening predicament, in which only one escapes, and one is left in the black water awaiting rescue. I feel that this book captures the true essence of what goes through the mind of someone that is drowning, as the character has flashbacks of her life, and thinks of what the future would hold if she survives. I found the book hard to follow for the first few chapters, and after re-reading it I decided that it was a fast-paced book that seemed unfinished and left the reader wondering what happened to the senator and any legal ramifications he may have encountered. The style in which this book is written is like none I have read before and I would recommend it to anyone that is interested in trying something different.

This novel was one of extensive study by my part, and the more I read, the more I appreciated the fear, the possible real life correlation to a US senator, and the momentum in which Oates carries us through the scene of this horrible accident.

The entire novel is barely a hundred and fifty pages, separated by thirty-two chapters. The speed and the brevity in which she writes makes it all the more believable, and is in my opinion the best dramatic choice Oates made as far as the convention of the prose. Although these thirty-two chapters were small, they were jam-packed. That question everyone wants to know is in there and seems to be answered, which I can't reveal or I would spoil the book.

The worldview Oates' is two dimensional to me. One part of the view portrays through the accident is something we all know, accidents happen. The main character being a younger female, interested in politics, and interested in starting her life while thinking in almost every chapter, "am I going to die-like this" really wakes the reader up and moves the common "accidents happen" theme to "accidents can happen to you too, at any time." The other most significant and compelling part is shown through a young woman who is violated when she trusts an older man. As she sits trapped in the sinking car, the Senator escapes and physically uses her body as a stepstool, leaving her behind. The most intriguing part of the story for me was that she was convinced he was coming back, and yet this is a smart character. A character who makes a conscious effort to discard anything as silly as a horoscope and one who is approach is intricate in design no matter what the circumstances. So what happened? The complications Oates made within the main character really move your mind in several directions. Any female reader can really relate to the dramatic choices in dialogue and characterization the Oates makes.

The element of fear is something that Oates really plays around with through the entire book. There is the stark fear of death, fear of talking out of turn, fear of consequences from men, fear of leaving a relationship, fear of putting somebody above you in the political world down on your level, and fear of life itself. And the fear that is still surfacing after finishing the novel is the fear of trusting people. The reader watches a spark between a man and a woman as Oates so simply and naturally creates the scene and this so thought harmless afternoon fling turns into a bloodcurdling accident that details the thoughts of the victim and the disbelief-it's amazing.

This novel has an element of truth, or motivation from the 1969 Chappaquiddick Island accident involving Senator Edward Kennedy and Mary Jo Kepechne, who was in a similar position as Kelly Kelleher. However, it is obvious fiction since no author can rewrite the thoughts of a deceased individual. Nevertheless, the prose by Oates was critical in creating a believable situation.

It all takes place in Kelly Kelleher's viewpoint; at the party, interludes from her past, spliced with the slowly sinking of the rented Toyota and Kelly's body into the black water. Because of this dramatic choice Oates really benefits the reader by revealing the intentions and motivations of the main character in her life and career. A common motif through the novel was that Kelly was an "American girl" which really set a degree of normality to the character, making it all the more realistic to the reader.

This book wasn't the only work of Oates that I have read and I can see a similarity in style and the same dimensional fear and gender inequality. I would recommend this to any gender however; it affects every human in the area of trust and death.

The novel "Black Water" by Joyce Carol Oates is about a young idealistic woman, who is attracted to "The Senator", an older successful politician, in whom she sees a chance to fulfil her yearning for adventures. She accepts his invitation for a night in his motel-room and joins him in his car which ends in a terrible accident where her entire personality is put to a new challenge- she questions the sense of her being, of her life she has lived so far, and doubts if her longing has been fulfilled in the way she had in mind.
Through the literary means of a brilliantly woven narrative, which is the typical feature of the novel, Oates produces a certain picture of Kelly's thoughts and feelings which is determined for the effect the book has on the reader: The whole story is written in a very captivating and sensitive way.
In our opinion the book is very worth to read.Kelly, in her special nature shows other women that no matter what happens one should never loose his/her belief in something and gives them the strength to keep their faith and their hope.
As it is based on a real incident, Joyce Carol Oates gives through her narration the forgotten and silent become mistress of Edward Moore Kennedy a voice and with it a human soul.
