Which is one author's name which comes to the mind of a patent law attorney for authoritative patent information? Donald Chisum is one of the foremost authority on patent law. His other book is a giant encylopaedia on patents. Honestly, many many of us are never going to read that big encylopaedia. But the same man along with Nard, Swartz, Newman and Kieff has written this casebook. This book is a must read for all those who want to get the best of Chisum's knowledge of patents.

It has the mandatory history part followed by philosophy and economics of patent law. There are two excellent chapters on Nonobvoiousness and and Utility. Cases are selected with care and properly edited. There are some sidebars too.

If you like Barnett Newmann's work, or the art of the New York Abstract Expressionists, you will like this book. The reproduction of the prints: etching and lithographs are beautiful. Newmann's prints are quite different from his paintings in that the prints have a lighter, drawn quality, that his paitnings don't have. The introduction offers insight into what made Newmann turn to the print medium in the first place. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in Modern Art.

David Newman's perspectives on life and its relevant issues are unique and wonderfully refreshing. I would like to hire him as a motivational guru! (really)

it was the greatest book in the world. the crossword puzzles were great and it kept me busy for a very long time. more of these books should come out. then i would never be bored again.

Vacationing in a cabin with no dictionary, I found this book both challenging but doable. When stuck on one puzzle, I found myself going to the next one but returning to previous puzzles and eventually solving them. My only problem was to hide the book from my husband and his mother, both who kept trying to do my puzzles.

Finding a book of hard puzzles shouldn't have to include the fact that "Celibes ox" is "anoa". I've done all four Ultra-Hard puzzle books and they are clever and pretty challenging. Some of the interlocks are awe-inspiring; Eric Albert's Ultra-Ultra Hard puzzles are true-brain teasers, but always innovative. (For instance, the clue "sales pitch" turned out to be "pie". Get it? Like Soupy Sales throwing a pie.) highly recommended.

I read it to my 5 children ages 1 yrs to 17 yrs a lot. All of us girls cried as we can almost leap to the pages. Wonderful book!!! Worth so much to pass down!

Newman's account of the rise of nationalism in eighteenth-century England fills a much-needed void in the otherwise teeming body of work about nationhood and national identity. Although Newman's book appeared several years ago, it remains one of the few works to really address English nationalism in the century and to take into account its many manifestations in literature, politics, and culture. Newman writes with a clarity and liveliness that will appeal to the interested lay reader as well as the seasoned professional scholar, a talent often sadly lacking from modern critical and theoretical works. Amateur and professional students of English history and culture will all find something to appreciate in this study, but those interested in literature and culture will be especially pleased, since most scholarly work about English nationalism and literature has to date chosen to focus on poetry rather than the novel (Howard Weinbrot's Britannia's Issue is a good example). I have found Newman's book not only enlightening, but entertaining to read, and I encourage others to add this valuable study to their personal scholarly libraries.

In the last selection from The Rule of Our Warfare, John Henry Newman begins, "[a]ll God's dealings with His creatures have two aspects, one external, one internal," and, in a postmodern world that all too often bids us to serve only the pleasures and politics of the former, this book provides a much needed account of the Christian's obligations to both. I come back regularly to certain pieces: "Living Faith," "Contintual Conversion," "Devotion and Intellect," "Fasting and Feasting," "The Defect of 'Cheerful' Religion," "Neglecting the One Thing Needful," "Self-Deceit and Self-Knowledge," "Putting Away Childish Things," "The Sternness of Scripture," "The Unseen," and "Divine Dispensations." Indeed, it seems that the "One Thing Needful," that is, self-examination and self-denial, is the one thing that atheist body-snatchers in the academy and American Catholics(Fr. McBrien, I am sorry to say) alike can agree to ignore as an instrument of the "Disciplines," as pre-Vatican II piety, as superstitious "Catholic guilt." It is unfortunate that such scholars, despite all their talk about liberation and apocalypse, are content with such a mediocre faith (post-structuralism, after all, is just another sacred scripture, isn't it?), and such a mediocre existence, that they truly fear the most common devotional gesture. Newman
writes, "[c]onscience is no longer recognized as an independent arbiter of actions,its authority is explained away [. . .] Austerity is an absurdity; even firmness is looked on with an unfriendly, suspicious eye," and the presence of such a
conscience is clear from the startled looks one gets--it's as though the person you're talking with has seen a ghost! Needless to say, "simplicity," a position that is beyond mere revolutionary or reactionary values, does not seem to be written about or get published as often as it should, and for this reason, at the least,The Rule of Our Warfare is very necessary. Indeed, in a culture admittedly confused by the material and uninterested in the immaterial, the revelatory value of John Hulsman's selections of Newman's prose are themselves a "Divine Dispensation."

"The Salmon," by Sabrina Crewe, is a good book for children. The book combines a simple text with many full-color photographs, and also includes non-photographic illustrations by Colin Newman. This book focuses on the sockeye salmon.

The book begins with a female salmon who has laid her eggs. We see the tiny salmon embryos in their transparent eggs. The book follows the salmon through their entire life cycle. Other helpful features of the book include a glossary, an index, a map showing the habitat and migratory routes of the sockeye salmon, and a diagram showing each part of a salmon's external body and its function. Overall, a good educational resource.
