This second edition has over 3,000 new entries and translations which reflect recent changes in business, technology, medicine and other areas. This mammoth dictionary is a very user friendly resource which not only gives the translation, but also the context, and in many cases, the appropriate idiomatic expression.

I had the first edition of this dictionary back when I took high school Spanish in the 1970's. I loved it then, and when I recently made the decision to take up this beautiful language again, I picked this dictionary from among several choices.

This is an essential reference addition for anyone learning Spanish, whether on your own, or as part of a class.

This is the best dictionary of all the dictionaries that I have purchased over the years. I use my current one daily and am buying one for one of the mothers of my bilingual class so that she can learn English along with her child. Everyone who has seen this dictionary has wanted one. I will always check here first. Thanks

I bought the first book, the crystal shard back when I was in 9th Grade and just finished it the end of my junior year of highschool. (I put the book down for a while then lost it amongst other books later to be found and finished junior year). Not only was it a personal acomplishment being that it took me an great amount of time to finish such a small book, it brought me into a whole new world of hobbys. I finished Streams of Silver and the Halflings Gem on the following weekend. Just today I went out and bought The Legacy of the Drow, The Dark Elf Trilogy and The Cleric Quintet, in hopes to totaly bury myself within them till I have read them all. IM HOOKED!!! The Icewind Dale Trilogy byfar was a ground braking read for myself for I never really considered myself a "reader" and the thought of sitting down and finishing 2 books in 2 night sounded more of a punishment then pleasure. Now I find myself reaching for any R.A Salvatore book in reach, just trying even if for a split second to loose myself within his writing. I particularly took a liking to Artemis Entreri whom I now found myself wanting more of towards the end of the trilogy. Although his character eventually dimed towards the last few pages I was not disapointed by the way he handled Rassiter and his final dialogue. In conclusion I loved these books, all fulfilled my exspectations to a "T" and would now consider myself a fan of the master of Fergotten Realms, R.A Salvatore.

This is one of Salvatore's most brilliant works. From the opening paragraph of the first book to the last sentence of the final book, you are engrossed with the story. The will have to be some routine altering changes when you start reading this, you will never want to put it down.

I myself couldn't be torn away from it and was left anxious to read more about Drizzt Do'Urden and his friends. I am waiting right now on the next set of Salvtore's books that expands the tale the title character, Drizzt.

Read this! You'll never regret it if you are a fan of the genre.

This book has fighting scenes all the way through, tied in with an awesome story. If you like the first 5 chapters you'll like all three books.

A must have textbook for medical students. Written in a Q&A format, it's an easy, entertaining read.

One of the best examples of how wonderful is the secret series for medical studend and for the experienced physician.
I especially appreciated how the book tries to eliminate traditional but useless examination maneuvers and tries to clarify sensitivity and specificity of the usefull ones.
You will indeed discover dozens of usefull examination hints and secrets you absolutely don't know (unless you are Mangione).
It is also written in a pleasant and amusing way.
I will never sell mine.

Physical Diagnosis Secrets is an excellent book that really complements many Internal Medicine textbooks. Many of those books do not really cover diagnosis in a user friendly way but Dr. Mangione's book offers an amazing amount of information concisely. He even offers the historical background for many of the eponymous terms like Korotkoff sounds.

'The pillars of the earth' was outstanding. It was one of the best books I have ever read. It was one of those books that you couldn't put down, there was always something happening so the storyline was never boring. It's characters were wonderful, they were all very different from each other and they all had different values, which made the story exceptional. This is truely one of Follett's best.

I have not read the other two books in this set, but "Pillars of the Earth" is outstanding. I have read every thing written by Ken Follett and have been extremely happy with all of them. "Pillars.." though is unique in that the setting is 12th century Europe and Follett does a remarkable job of making you feel like you are right there with the characters, feeling both their joy and pain. This book is not for the weak of heart. There are many graphic descriptions of both a violent and sexual nature. If for some reason this book does not become a classic and thus, required reading for some Honors English literature class, it will be due to the graphic nature I mentioned above.

Instead of one central character, there are several, all of which the reader will feel like he knows personally very early in the book. I would give most anything if this book could be made into a movie, but the only way to do it justice would be to make it multi-part mini-series with Ken Follett writing the screenplay, and even then it would not have the same effect.

Obviously, I give this book my absolute highest recommendation. So, don't wait, buy this book right now and plan on losing some sleep, because you won't be able to put it down !!!

I haven't read the other books in this set, but The Pillars of the Earth is my all-time favorite book. However, I would hardly call it a thriller. It falls more under general fiction, perhaps even a loose kind of historical fiction. That is not to say that it isn't an outstanding piece of work, just that it is a bit mislabeled in this boxed set. Perhaps the confusion is that most of Ken Follett's other books fall into the thriller/mystery category? The Pillars of the Earth is quite different from Ken Follett's many other books and I wish he would write more in this style!

Writing a paper that is well-organized and concise can be a challenge even for the seasoned writer. From resumes to business letters, Dr. Iacone's book offers practical advice and approaches for any kind of writing. I found the numerous written examples throughout the book to be extrememly helpful. This book is a valuable tool for high school students, college students, novice writers, business people, and those of us who want our writing to be well-polished and right to the point.

I am college student majoring in Business Administartion, and I think Write to the Point (which should be underlined, however that option is not allowed) is the best book about writing that I have ever seen. It is very clear and concise, which makes it especially usefull for busy students. The appendices give a quick and handy reference for all kinds of writing problems. This is a book that all business majors should have!

The Amazon editorial review for Dr. Iacone's recent book refers to it as an "invaluable handbook." It is definitely that. Discussion of personal stumbling blocks is easily (or should that be "are" easily ...?) located in this handy reference guide, and the discussion of common, and not-so-common, buggaboos is clear and concise. I work with engineers and architects who are bright, bright, bright, but would, along with me, benefit mightily from Dr. Iacone's book. It should be included on any workplace office shelf.

I've used many language help books but this one is my favorite. I felt like I could indeed self teach Italian. And when I went to Italy my cousins there did understand me (for the most part). It's a great book for slowly building to a conversational understanding of the language.

My husband and I review this book from cover to cover each year before we go back to Italy. We have been doing this for 20 years. I am about to order another paperback as I use it so much. This is a classic book. So easy to learn with pictures and words. For someone who knows no Italian, it is the perfect book to start with.

The author claims that the user will be "pleasantly surprised at how easy it is to learn Italian with the method used in this book." I must say that truer words were never written. This little book will somehow have you "thinking" basic Italian very quickly.

I guess that the pictures help reinforce the learning process, but that's not what makes this book great. It's the grouping of the ideas on the page that makes it so comprehensible. Not only do the "lessons" logically progress, each one also stands on its own as a useful learning experience. This confirms the author's claim that each page is a lesson unto itself.

The book has a pronunciation guide, a limited but useful index, and a small Italian to English dictionary. There are also a number of "Everyday Expressions," that are just what the doctor ordered.

This is a "must have" book. Yes, you may quickly outgrow it, but you will find yourself referring to it often as you continue your studies.

This novel concludes the Dark Elf trilogy. The series was quite good, not amazing but not terrible either. The most interesting part of the series was the first book (Homeland) where Salvatore laid out the entire world that Drizzt lived in.

The second book shows how Drizzit rejected his society and struck out on his own. However, his race is so widely hated that finding acceptance was quite difficult. Indeed, this theme continues to be of importance in this novel and in "The Crystal Shard" (book 1 of the Icewind Dale Trilogy).

The reason I liked this novel was for the final change in scenery; Drizzit finally emerges from the Underdark to see the daylight. He finally finds some measure of acceptance in this world; but it is hard won and not without misunderstandings. Indeed, this novel brings back the inner turmoil that is a feature of many of Salvatore's protagonists. Dealing with violence continues to be a problem for Drizzit. When should he use his swords? Why does he still feel guilty if he kills someone in the name of self-defence?

As I mentioned in my review of "Exile," there are typical fantasy elements in this novel in addition to Drizzit's problems and struggles. There are battles, fantastic monsters and other such staples of the fantasy genre. While reading these novels is enjoyable, I've been looking for something that it is in the same epic vein as, "The Lord of the Rings." I remain open to recommendations.

The series was reasonably interesting. This is my eighth Salvatore novel that I've read in recent months. I've started the Icewind Dale Trilogy, but I don't know how much of it I will read. I may switch to reading a different genre for a while for variety.

This is by far the best book (or triligy) ever created by anything ever! I'm starting to believe that this was actually created by God almighty himself, in R.A. Salvatore form! Only such a being could have created such real and awesome characters, Drizzt and Guenhwyvar. He tells the story masterfully, with stunning battle scenes and captivizing characters, which i've come to admire. This is the only perfect triligy i've ever read. PERFECT! ABSOLUTELY THE BEST! Bob (or God), please never EVER stop writing about Drizzt! No matter what Corona world you write about, it may be almost as good, but people won't worship you like they do for this series! Anyway, this is by far the best book ever, no questions asked! Ask anyone, they'll agree. Drizzt rules! Woohoo!

I started to read this trilogy when my brother, Mojo (you can read his review), raved about it for about a year. After reading Dragonlance, I thought that nothing could master Weis and Hickman's masterpieces, but after reading this trilogy, they seemed to be put down to shame. It was so good, in fact, that I read the entire trilogy in two days! Drizzt has become my fantasy idol, and Salvatore has become my God (at least in the writing world) There is no possible way to describe his works, nor compare him with any other author. His is so fantastic. You've just got to read his book! Trust me, you'll never forget it. It's not really a novel to me. It's my world. I love Drizzt and Guenyvar and Bob. Don't ever stop writing Bob! You rule!

This book is crammed full of brilliance and wonder. It has adventure and action that would make your head blow off. I would recommend this book to anyone who could read it because it makes your imagination soar. I think this would go well for everyone who doesn't mind sword fighting, spell casting, and evil monsters. This story takes place in a realm that is in the depths of earth called the Underdark. It centers on a Drow. (Drow are elves with dark skin and white hair. They are cousins to the elves that live on the surface.) Most Drow live in the huge city of Menzoberanzan where a lot of the story occurres. The Drow that the story centers on is named Drizzt Do'Urden and you will meet his friends, family, companions, and enemies. It talkes about what he goes through living in the city and what he feels about his people and their ways. This book is full of suprises and turn. Another thing that is awsome is the conclusion to story is great and It's part of a trilogy called "The Dark Elf Trilogy" so after your done with the book there is more action to come. This book swept me off my feet and I couldn't put it down. It was so good I read it twice. This book didn't have any problems with it but if I have to say a bad aspect it would be that in the begining you don't quite understand what is going on, but shortly after everything falls into place. The best aspects are how well they discribe the fights and the surroundings that the elves encounter. This is one of the best books I have ever read and I give it five stars. I hope that you will enjoy this book as much as I have because it's a keeper.

"Homeland" is one of the most excellent novels I've ever read. I read it for the first time 9 years ago and I've not come across another novel yet that has touched me in the manner this book has.

The novel, about the childhood and past of one of the Forgotten Realms' most beloved characters, Drizzt Do'Urden, is a novel of intense passion, of intense inner turmoil, of intense character. It's a prequel to the The Icewind Dale Trilogy and explains why Drizzt is the way he is - stoic and burdened yet content and happy with his life. The storyline and plot are solid and phenomenally detailed as is the character development. The descriptions of the settings, the characters, the battles, the _emotions_ create a novel that is gripping and exciting, while at the same time conveying a feeling of reflection and self-examination. Through his use of amazing detail, Mr. Salvatore allows the reader to feel Drizzt's pains, his triumphs, and his insatiable search for something good in his life.

This is a complete novel; all aspects work well together and create a timeless Forgotten Realms story that is enjoyable on many levels. I highly recommend this book and consider it Mr. Salvatore's best novel.

This book is the start into a magical, dark, cruel and chaotic place - Menzoberranzan. City of the drow and birthplace of Drizzt Do'Urden. This book and the rest of the series describes Drizzt's way to the surface, his first steps in the realms and his way to Icewind Dale, the place he will call home. I have read all books of this series 'til now and I hope that I will never miss one. This - like any other book by R.A. Salvatore I have read 'til now - is a masterpiece of fantasy-literature. Written with passion this whole story contains so many realistic descriptions of action, fighting and movements that you can see Drizzt whirling his scimitars in the fights as if you would watch a movie - this is an absolutely incredible piece of writing and I want everybody to know, that the books about Drizzt are the best series I've ever read - and I have read some, and will read many more I'm sure, but I doubt that I will find one series able to compete with this one. I've read some of the books in German language and I have to say that the translator did a damn good job. So, that's all! Ciao - and let the Forgotten Realms never be forgotten!
