I'm currently enrolled in a linguistics class at Tulane University, and we had to read this book so as to give us a cognitivist perspective on semantic theory. It is a well-written book with very helpful exercises to illustrate various experiments performed by linguists and psychologists.

My daughter has just entered Macalester College in St. Paul, MN. She has wanted to become a medical doctor since she was 13.

I have encouraged her to study molecular biology and computational biology as the best field to go into for the next 50 years of her life.

In 1968 my dad recommended that I go into computers, in order to be on the leading edge of the future throughout my working life. I followed my dad's advice.

I asked her what book she most wanted to read. She wanted a to find the best book on reforming the medical insurance because she believes that is the most important issue for the future. She is also interested in epidemeology.

I asked my dad to research the field of medical insurance and make a recommendation.

He recommended this book for my daughter. I have bought it for her and will make a followup recommendation once she has read the book.

this book gathers all the masters in this field to talk about the reforms in their countries, and let us know the thought and background of each country. therefore, i recommend this book.

Friedrich by Hans Peter Richter

Friedrich was just an ordinary boy living in Germany, his family had enough money and they had a lot of friends. All of a sudden his dad looses his job, then civilians riot against him and his family and other people like him, then he gets expelled from school. All because he's a Jew.
This story is a powerful tale about a boy named Friedrich told from his best friend's point of view. Friedrich's life gets worse and worse as his family gets destroyed through all the pressure they had. Friedrich and the narrator are best friends through everything they have to go through. Even Friedrich's dad starts to change for the worse as the story goes on. This story shows how to stand up for what you know is right and t hat is definitely why it is so powerful.
I think this story is one of the best stories I have ever read because the theme throughout it is very strong but it is not told in a little kid sort of way. The book is not intended for little kids because it is told with all the parts of the Second World War in it and some parts can be very bloody. This book gives one of the clearest ideas of what happened in World War Two.
This book would appeal to many people. I have never really been interested in World War 2, but it really interested me. The only people that this book might not appeal to is little kids. The deaths of many people close to Friedrich and the behavior of some of the Nazis in this book is awful, scary, and sick. But again it gives a good picture of what it must have been like in the time of the Holocaust. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who wants to know what it was like to see a very close friend be discriminated against. I give this book 5 stars.

There are many books around the world that talk about World War One. However, very few are like Friedrich by Hans Peter Richter. This book is unique. I, as a ninth graders have never read any book with a better perspective than Friedrich. Friedrich Sneider is a young boy who lives in a German town in the early 1930's. He lived in a small apartment with another family, the Resch's who were non-jewish, and among them was Friedrichs best friend. Friedrichs daily life is told from his friends point of view. Day to day scenes of discrimination against Friedrich are narrated. At first, they seem insignificant, but later they would gain influence on his life, and it be for the worst. Things that would be as simple as an insult would later turns into a real threat. This was before Hitler, however when Hitler steps in the scene, things start to get more serious, this is when the fact of being a Jewish boy in a discriminative society becomes an excuse to be persecuted. In my opinion this story is great. The reason is because it is about a single Jewish family, and all of their problems, this makes it very dramatic and sensitive. It also takes place before Hitler, which lets you deeply feel the changes that take place, which causes desperation and anger when having nowhere to go and nowhere to hide, if you are Jewish of course.

As a 12 year old student I decided to read "Friedrich" a novel about the holocaust and how it treats him. Hans is Friedrich best friend and the author of the book. He saw and heard everything that happened to Friedrichin the book. At frist, Friedrich is more fortune then his friend Hans, who is poor, but as you read on, freidrich's life changed. His father is fored to quit his job because Hitler doesn't allow jew to own a business. Friedrich is kick out of school becuase Hitler thinks Jew don't deserve an education. Worst when he's gone, the evil Nazis beat and killed his mother and sent his father to a concentreation camp. This book isn't all about Friedrich's torture. His friends and family help him by taking care of him and giving him a picture of his parents to remember them by. "Friedrich" is a compelling heart warming book. I rate it on a scale of 1-10 a 10, because this is the first novel I enjoyed. This book made me think about why God would ever let this happen. It almost made me cry, then I remembered how his friends helped him and it stopped the tears.

Garden Architecture in Europe is full of full color photographs and drawings of European gardens. It is full of magnificent inspiration for garden lovers, particularly if you enjoy formal parterres, colannades, terraces and water fountains.

The text mainly comprises historical prose with annecdotal comments, however, these is very little information in relation to designing, building or maintaining the type of garden pictured.

Ideal as a coffee table accessory or waiting room "magazine", this book provides an ejoyable wander through some truly superb classic gardens. It is not suitable for the student.
