The National Guide to Funding for Women and Girls was written to serve as the starting point for grantseekers looking for foundation, corporate and other charitable support for women or girls. This latest edition, the fourth, contains 978 entries, including 794 grantmaking foundations, 66 direct corporate giving programs, and 188 public charities (including 74 community foundations). Entries were selected on the basis of their stated fields of interest, or though actual grants of $10,000 or more. The volume also reports 4,306 grants, representing nearly $310 million including grants to health care, education, human services, the arts, and more.     This volume will not only be valuable to USA-based charities and causes focusing on women and girls, but to non-USA charities, as well. The fourth edition adds a new section in grantmaker descriptive entries identifying any international giving interests of an organization. The index has been substantially expanded over prior editions, and now describes the countries, continents, and regions in which grantmakers have giving interests. Indeed, the index has expanded from a few dozen such entries to more than 200.

Full page color plates of some of the most common tartans, but the book is not as complete as I was looking for. The plates are not as crisp as they could be, and the color quality is off. Altogether, a good introduction to the common tartans, but not the definitive guide the title suggests.

This book is good, only if you are very comfortable with extrication. This book gets into the details of automobile extrication, yet leaves out the very core basics such as disconnecting bettery cables.

Do the techniques work? Yes, but they take too long to be practical. When you have a critical patient in a crunched up car you don't have the time to neatly take a car apart like this book teaches. I'm shocked this book doesn't teach rapid extrication. Other extrication books give better car anatomy layouts.

I was able to use and fully undersatand this book only after I had recieved training. This book is too advanced for people beginning to learn about extrication because it just doesn't go over the things you need to understand before making your first cut or punch. I can't believe Brady would produce a book that gives no concern to an injured patient. Why call this book vehicle rescue? It doesn't have any rescue aspect to it, just how to take a car apart. You cannot apply the information in this book to anything other than an every day car. What about trucks, buses, trains, trailors, etc?

Make this book part of your libarary, only after you have a thorough knowledge of extrication and know what you are doing. I've found IFSTA's Vehicle Extrication book to be a more useful resource. This book is great though, but you have to have that foundation first. This book teaches most ways how to take a car apart safely. There could be a lot more included in this book, but the book is still very useful. The book would be a little more useful if it included more about extrication tools, techniques, safety hazards, potential trauma concerns, and car anatomy.

Books like The Celluloid Closet and Hollywood Babylon abound with rumors about the sexual appetites of Hollywood stars. Boze Hadleigh's Gays in Hollywood, however, seeks to provide first-hand reports. An entertainment journalist since the 1960's, Hadleigh conducted volumes of off-the-record interviews with celebrities reputed to be gay or bisexual such as Cary Grant, Paul Lynde and Anthony Perkins, as well as less well-remembered actors like Randolph Scott and William Haines. In these interviews, often given only with the understanding that they would not be published during the star's life, Hadleigh attempts to get normally secretive actors to speak about their guarded sexual lives. The results vary widely, but even the "unsuccessful" interviews can be fascinating. Some stars like Paul Lynde, James Coco and Cesar Romero, speak freely and provide valuable accounts of what it was like to be gay in an industry filled with double lives and convenience marriages. Others like Cary Grant and Anthony Perkins are more elusive, but not without revelations about co-workers and peers. And one in particular is not so kind: at the end of his interview, an exceptionally ruffled Liberace expels Hadleigh from his mansion with imperial fury. Like his earlier volumes Conversations With My Elders and Lesbians in Hollywood, Hadleigh's work is somewhat journalistically suspect. He claims that for most of these interviews, he was not allowed to tape record or take notes, and frequently the questions seems stiltedly reconstructed and retroactively self-righteous. Still, the interviews are highly entertaining and provide an important alternative view of the film industry's social history. Recommended for both general readers and scholars of gay history / film studies.

Many reviewers seem quite upset by Grant's "out-ing," but if he wasn't at least bisexual, then PLEASE let me know why he lived with Randolph Scott--rather than his wives--throughout all five of his marriages (Only one of which lasted more than 5 years). He shared a house with his (male) lover fom 1933, a year before his first marriage, until his death in 1986--most straight pairings don't last that long--his didn't! And, while you're at it, explain photos of the two topless men hanging all over each other by their swimming pool. Being gay was as much of a career-booster as being communist in his Hollywood. There's a reason the man has two Oscars....

Gould are forgetting who is the reader of this book. It is biology student, not a statistician. The book uses too many big-words that only a statistician knows exactly. The index is terrible and the organization of the topics is horrendous.

I wouldn't recommend this to Biology student who doesn't have any strong background in Statistics. And if you have already had a strong background in Statistics, you don't need this book for it is too shallow.
