This is a complete book regarding oral surger

I think that this boog y very good, it's easy to understand, and very clear and gives information very important and useful for the clinician.

The previous edition (2nd) was recommended in "A Basic List of Recommended Books and Journals for Support of Clinical Dentistry in a Nondental Library" in Bulletin Of the Medical Library Association, July 1997.

This book contains a warm and inviting look into the home of a Maryland man who creates wonderful decorations for the home from practically nothing. Your eye constantly scans the photographs for all the amazing details, a small tree decorated from simple garden finds to an angel with wings of cast off architectural finials. I would never have thought of some of the ideas this book gave me.It was motivational for me...I love the simple country look and this book has it.It was a joy reading through this book and marveling at what one person can do with "old stuff".

This book is enchanting. I'm amazed at how the two artists/gardeners have fused together their art and lives. The many photos are lovely and full of wonderful, earthy ideas. I only wish I could step through the pages and experience Seven Gates Farm first hand! Instead, I will be content to allow the book to be a life-long inspiration for me. Thank you, James and Dean.

A beautiful fact filled book - decorate your home, inside and out, cost effectively­wonderfully written, excuisite photos, creatively designed.

I have the 1995 edition. The context lines are usefully long. The layout and type font are not too hard on the eyes.

The binding is not durable. The copy at the Fuller Seminary library was falling apart in the spring of 2000, so I turned it in to the circulation desk for repair.

The entries all seem correct, except for some of the "special phrase" indices, which point to some wrong verses.

This is really a perfect Concordance. Even a one-lettered Greek article was not missing from the all cases. Every entry word and related verses are all in Greek. It has also excellent quality of book-binding and printing. This is the most recommendable Concordance based on the text of UBS Greek New Testament.

Using this opportunity, I would like to recommend a small handy sized concordance of Greek New Testament for the users' convenience: "Alfred Schmoller, Handkonkordanz zum griechischen Neuen Testament, Deutsche Bibelgesellschaft," which is based on the text of the Nestle-Aland Novum Testamentum Graece. Every entry is all in Greek. It is available in "amazon.de"(Germany). Total 534 pages except introduction. Hardcovered. The dimension is roughly 0.5x4.3x6.3.

From the first moment I had this book I was in love with it. This is the ideal tool for any NT exegesis. What more would one want? It is truely exhaustive, giving reasonable context to every listed word (except "kai", "ho" ...). It also lists related words, word combinations in which the word is frequently used, simply anything one would want of a concordance to the greek New Testament! Strong Buy!

The story, Four on the Shore, is about three kids, who are trying to do their homework but Sam's little brother will not leave them alone. So they decide to go by the lake to try to get away, but Sam's little brother follows him. He promised to be good but all he did was complain. So they started to tell scary stories thinking it would scare him away. But instead of that, he scared them with his story.
I like this book because it had a surprising ending and it is most likely to happen in real life. A lot of kids have little brothers or sisters that will not leave them alone. And I think this book will help them deal with it. This also was a good book because it has to do with things that go on single everyday. I know lots of people who have to deal with a little brother or sister and it isn't fun, but in this book it shows them that sometimes it is actually fun to have a little brother or sister. I am the youngest so I don't know what it feels like to be bugged by younger siblings. But I do know its not all fun to have older ones too. It also was very easy to read. I think a lot of little kids would enjoy reading this story, especially if they have younger siblings.

We need more books like "Four on the Shore". The characterization, plot and humor are all extremely well done while the vocabulary is very readable. I have found this book to "capture" many reluctant readers. Please keep it in print!

I read this book to my seven-year-old brother, and I think I enjoyed it more than he did. The story was charming, and the illustrations made me laugh out loud. I would definitely recommend this book.

I enjoyed this book on many levels, which I'll discuss below, but the best part about it, is I've now added about 20 books to my wish list (I'm sure amazon appreciates it!). This book is fabulous as a jumping off point. It describes books well enough to pique your interest--or turn you away,if it's not your style. Plots are discussed only in the minimum; there's never any spoilers. It also discusses actors, writers, and production work of the wonderful series Mystery! The pictures from the shows are beautiful. If you have any interest in the show Mystery, or in adding new authors to your stack to read, take a look at this book. You won't be disappointed.

Once in a while something does come along to rival sliced bread. This book is it. I have had many questions about different mystery series. The latest is when the BBC produced The Dorothy L. Sayers series with Lord Peter Wimsey and Harriet Vane, why did they stop short and not produce "Busman's Honeymoon"? And the answer is:

"Sadly, Mystery! Viewers never got to see the payoff to this classic romance. Sayers wrote about the marriage in 'Busman's Honeymoon', which couldn't be filmed for Mystery! Because Sayers had sold the film rights to Hollywood in the 1930's; it was turned into the 1940 film 'Haunted Honeymoon', but efforts to secure the rights for the new BBC-TV version weren't successful."

This book is packed with such information and many great stills form many Mystery! programs. Now I need to see the ones I missed.

Mystery : A Celebration is the ideal book to have by your armchair while you watch mysteries like Inspector Morse, Prime Suspect, the P.D. James mysteries, and many others that appear on the PBS MYSTERY series. Don't watch any of these mysteries without MYSTERY : A Celebration. Mystery readers will also enjoy this book. It provides the reader with a listing of titles by mystery authors like Colin Dexter, P.D. James, and others.It provides the reader with biographical information about the mystery authors and actors who are well known for portraying the popular detectives as well.

Of all the object oriented programming books that I have read, this book is probably the most concise. The first 200 pages serve as the best object oriented dictionary that I have seen.

Don't bother reading any of their other books, as they all seem to reiterate these first 200 pages

Object-Oriented Analysis & Design is well written and clear. The authors lack of focus on any development platform provides the best method of understanding programming. He creates a vehicle via a way to approach programming that any person new to programming can understand and design. After reading this publication you will have the ability to write bug free programs using any development tool, Visual Basic, C, Java, or C++.

By far the best OO book on the market.

This book is the best OO book you will find. It is clear and concice and draws from experience and background sadly missing in many textbooks.

Originally published in 1940, the material in this book is beginning to show a little age. However, the quality of the writing renders those defects to near irrelevancy. Popular descriptions of mathematics are differentiated by the quality of the writing rather than the distinctiveness of the mathematics, and this one shines.
I like this book, starting with the title. It takes an enormous amount of imagination to do mathematics, something unappreciated by the public. It is easy to understand the use of linear segments to approximate the length of a curve. However, it requires an enormous leap of abstraction to believe that if they are made of zero length and then summed up, the result is the true length. Calculus students dutifully record and apply this, but in most cases don't appreciate the significance of the idea. In nearly all cases of major mathematical advancement, a fundamental change in thought processes was necessary. Those changes require imagination and the advances explained in this book are well documented and described.
Mathematicians are containers of some of the greatest concentrations of imagination that humans possess. Their leaps of abstraction often include descriptions of objects that cannot be visualized. Kasner and Newman capture this essential ingredient, serving it up in palatable portions.

My school teacher gave me this book to read when I was 13 years old, based on the interest I showed in Mathematics that went beyond the curriculum at school. In many ways it was way beyond my comprehension at the time, but little did I know that it would have such a lasting effect on me. Reading about concepts of infinity, that you could only describe to a fellow teenager as "different sizes of infinity", I realized that there really is a philosophy of mathematics that transcends all other subjects and that there is also an art to working with the subject. I can't recommend this book enough, and I never did give it back to my teacher!

This book came to me by chance.Instantly got my attention.It is written in such a way,that makes interesant to travel through different chapters.In each one you have the mathematical theme mixed with stories , mathematicians histories and puzzles.You learn about people with the greatest imagination.Their personality and a lot of other things,that make you enjoy the reading,no matter if you love mathematics or you have hated it all the time.I've enjoyed specially the chapter about Mathematical Analysis,with the story about rivalry between the egocentric Newton and the humble Leibnitz. This book is the opportunity to learn that mathematics are not the boring thing we have learned at school.

This is a catalog for a show currently at San Francisco MOMA, launched in Chicago last year. (Weston came from Illinois and did most of his work in California.) It is essentially a re-edition of Weston's My Camera On Point Lobos, published in 1951 and again in 1968. The major change is text by David Travis replacing excerpts from Weston's daybooks in the original.

The text is intended to humanize someone who is mostly mythical by describing and interpreting events in the last years of his life at Point Lobos. It presents the author's analysis of Weston's career, state of mind and the evolution of his late style. There is little or no new material here and the analysis is strained, but thoughtful.

There are some intelligent comparisons presented of Weston's late and early views of the same subject. As a collection this is not a good introduction to Weston. It is a good final chapter to the Daybooks and a beautiful collection of reproductions. It is also a good companion to Ansel Adams at 100, showing how these two friends viewed many of the same subjects so differently. It would be a good addition to reading Charis Wilson's Through Another Lens, showing many pictures of domestic life including Weston's children, cats, and many of Charis Wilson. There is a lot of "inside baseball" here, both explicit and implied.

There is at least one important image in the show that is not in the catalog and there are many important omissions from the show itself, which make this a poor place to start studying Weston's work. For the record, both Weston and Adams experimented with color in the late 40s, shooting the same images in color and black and white. The color images aren't good but they are a very good way to show why their respective monochrome images are so strong.

It is worth repeating that while the printed images are as good as any you'll see, they are not even close to the 8X10 contact prints in the show. This really matters in Weston's work. If you have a chance to see the San Francisco show, before it is put away for another 10 years, you will also see additional earlier prints from SFMOMA's outstanding permanent collection which put the theme of the show into context that is missing from the book.

This is Weston when he was only satisfying his own search for meaning, not making statements or presenting his vision to the world. These are his final meditations and he knew it. They are by far his richest and most abstract work and worthy of a lot of study.

Edward Weston was one of the most squirelly, yet most talented photographers in the history of the medium - he rarely smiled, wore women's clothes, never learned to drive, married a woman 30 years his junior, lived in a shack in Carmel and loved philandering with Tina Modotti and others. He died with $300 in the bank in 1958, yet his photograph of a Circus Tent went at auction a few years ago for $266,000. His influence on photography and photographers was immense. Two of his four sons, Brett and Cole, became accomplished image makers and his grandson now carries on that same tradition, even living in the same shack on Wildcat Hill in Carmel. This book covers roughly the last 10 years of his photographs 1938-1948. The images are superbly produced and well-chosen but the text was a bit overbearing and heavy on the theory that in the last years Weston was overly concerned with death which was represented in his images. Certainly his images of Point Lobos are a bit dark and morose with pictures of dead trees and pelicans, but that's Point Lobos! During this period he also made whimsical images of his wife wearing a gas mask in the nude and playing a flute while a cat looks on with a surprised glance. Weston was full of LIFE, not death. Thirty years before his death in 1958 he made an image of a corpse at a time when his relationship with his future wife was rosy and he was spending time with his beloved sons. His final work does not seem any more concerned with death than it was in his earlier years. But, forget the text! Photography books are similar to Playboy magazines anyway - we buy them to look at the pictures, not read the text!! This is a terrific book and I can't wait to view the actual images at The Art Institute of Chicago.

A finely printed book that features more than the regular images that every other book has. The essay is a very worthwhile read. It offers wonderful insites to the photogrpaher at the end of his working career.A real must to any Weston colection of books.

This 48-page book is divided into three episodes dealing with our hero, "Fox." In the first story Fox reluctantly accompanies his sister to the park, when he encounters the pretty white fox "Raisin." The next day, he practically bribes his sister to go with him so that he might meet Raisin again. In "Fox and the Girls," Fox goes to a fair with Rose, then Lola ("On Wednesday Fox and Lola went to the fair."), and finally Raisin, who discovers Fox's previous "dates" ("And on Saturday, Fox went to the fair...all alone."). In the final story, Fox and his sister win second prize in a dance contest ("They did the boogie. They did the stomp."), after Raisin turns him down--perhaps still upset about Fox's fair dates described in the previous story. While the first two stories have some clever humor, the final one is a bit flat. The pictures, while simple and cute (somewhat similar to Sandra Boynton's style), are chiefly limited to green and orange colors. A good book for Fox fans, but I can't imagine most children getting too excited over the stories. However, children may enjoy a "chapter book" geared for the early reader (perhaps grades 1-2). The publisher (Dial) lists the reading level as 1.8; the book is one of several in its the "Easy-to-Read" collection.

My son loves to read all of the Fox-series of books. He is in kindergarten and just past the first level of readers. This is just the right level for him, and he loves to hear about fox's latest goof up. I enjoy them too for their droll wit. For some reason (a combination of being the right level and their funnyness...we can't wait to hear what happens next), he reads these books extremely smoothly.

The wife of James Bergstrom KNEW he was a rapist and fought repeatedly to get the police to arrest him. Time after time the criminal justice system simply walked away from their obligations to get and keep this man off the streets. Linda Bergstrom risked her life to do the right thing even though it seemed like no one else cared. She is my kind of hero! Pat Brown, Director/Investigative Criminal Profiler/The Sexual Homicide Exchange of Washington DC and Vicinity

"The Rapist's Wife" is the story of James and Linda Bergstrom. It's the best true crime this reviewer has read. He was a rapist/stalker/voyeur who plagued the Seattle and Houston areas in the late 80s and early 90s. She is the harried wife married to a sicko, patiently trying to force the wheels of justice to spin her way. And hoping he doesn't kill her or their baby first. The chilling plot matches the chilling title. This is first tier true crime writing.
In the interests of not divulging the ending, this reviewer will attempt a brief review: Authoress Casey slowly weaves a tale of twisted behavior, bizarre families, sloppy police work and some very unfortunate women. (Readers of Ms. Casey's "Warrant to Kill" will recognize the awkward performance of Houston area lawmen-with those overlapping jurisdictions.) Since Mr. Bergstrom's Seattle "activities" encompassed his Naval service there, one can add a startlingly unsupportive Navy to the mix. Did the Navy ever abandon Linda! This review won't reveal how, but it's Linda who emerges as a hero. She was the one who had to live with her husband-afraid both to flee and that justice would never be done. James Bergstrom, I truly believe, surpasses Paul Bernardo of "Lethal Marriage" and Jerome Brudos of "Lust Killer" for sheer depravity. What happens? Amazoners will just have to read RW and learn for themselves but the "Ann Rule rule" is in effect: Skip the centerfold photos-one of them gives away the ending.
I have two hopes: One is that Avon books will reissue RW, making it easier to obtain. The other is that Ms Casey produces her third novel. I'm waiting to buy it. Ms. Casey is a seriously underrated authoress for this genre.(I'd note that I purchased RW "used". I can report that amazon and "Wild Michigan", the previous owner, quite capably handled the transaction. I would not hesitate to purchase RW used).

This is a great book. Well written. I just picked it up used, because I liked Ms. Casey's new book, "A Warrant to Kill," so much. I wish I'd known about this one when it came out. I would have recommended it to friends. It's incredibly suspenseful. What this woman went through is terrifying. I've never thought about monsters like James Bergstrom having wives and girlfriends. How awful to fall in love, get married, and discover that you're married to a predatory animal. The guy is a real psycho. Amazing book!
