The book was recommended to me by a neighbor whose husband liked golf while she liked crosswords. I not being either of the two, was skeptical but just tried it out to see how much i might by chance know, having grown up with golf lovers. Well i turned out loving it. I enjoy doing little puzzles and enjoyed spending time working in the book. The format was great, with lots of extra quotes for me to send to my golf-loving friends. I am also especially interested in the spanish crossword coming out soon. Bottom line- a great gift, and i recommend it.

I am a student at a local business school. I began using Gregg College Keyboarding & Document Processing, Lessons 1-60, in mid February, 2001. It has really changed the way that I type, and has given me a chance to learn the proper way to process documents. Initially, I thought the book to be kind of boring, since I already had a basic knowledge of the keyboard. However, as time progressed and I got further into the book, I learned how wrong I was. I always though document processing to be self-expanantory, but learning the correct manner of formatting letters, reports, memos, tables, cover pages, resumes, etc., and the improvement of my spelling, grammar, and punctuation have changed my outlook on finding future employment. I am very grateful to the writer's of this book for putting together such a wonderful program. Thank you!

Jim Roberts has produced a highly readable book dealing with the game in our cruelly deprived city from before the Civil War through his T-ball and Little League adventures in Great Falls, VA in the 1990s... Along the way, the author shows us a winning sense of humor...Mr. Roberts escorts the reader through the "mostly dismal" history of Washington's primary team, noting that the first Nationals (later known as the Senators) took the field in 1859, rather than when the American League was founded in 1901... There is a gentle chapter on one-time basball broadcaster Ronald Reagan that tells how he wrote Cleveland Indians start Bob Feller requesting an autographed ball for a boy who had been shot by his father, a mentally unstable World War II Hero Mr. Feller sent the ball. More than 30 years later, meeting with President Reagan at the White House, the Hall of Fame pitcher found that the Gipper rememembered the incident... Mr. Roberts interviews and writes movingly about two late area residents who played outside the major leagues, Lacy Ellerbe in the Negro Leagues and Claire Schillace Donahoe in the wartime All-American Girls Professional League. He relates how Mrs. Donahoe, irritated by a called strike, once hiked up her skirt and told the male umpire, "Would you please look at my knees." Said the cooperative ump: "I am - believe me I am."...Other topics include the annual Congressional baseball game (featuring suc former star athletes at Jim Bunning, Wilmer "Vinegar Bend" Mizell, Steve Largent...Mr Roberts also gives us a look at the Shenandoah Valley summer league and writes sensitively about Jimmy Trimble, who was a star pitcher at St. Albans School in the District and considered a likely major leaguer until he was killed on Iwo Jima near the end of World War II...In his introduction, Mr. Roberts describes watching the Montreal Expos play an exhibition game last spring in Fort Lauderdale, Fla, and noting a team press release in which pitcher where described as "lanceurs," catchers as "receveurs," outfielders as "voltigeurs" and coaches as "instruceurs." He adds, "What a disgrace. The capital of the United States - where baseball is the national pastime - doesn't."... Someday "this outrage" will be rectified. Until then, Mr. Roberts has given us a wonderful book that should at least partially assuage our pangs.

This PreTest includes many clinical questions and bridges cell biology, physiology, human anatomy, embryology, and an introduction to pathology. It was very useful during the anatomy courses and helped me to a 244 on USMLE I. I know, there isn't much pure histology on the boards, but this book helped me quickly review the microscopic and gross anatomical structure of the body and prepare for USMLE I. First Aid gave me a list of areas to emphasize, but it has errors and is too lightweight for those students who want to excel and do a first rate residency.

Cigarette smoke curls upward as the old cattleman, Ben Wood, begins to narrate his story to nine-year-old, Cotton Mead. The year is 1909, and the town is La Plaza de Leones, Colorado. Times are changing in South Eastern Colorado. The smell and roar of automobiles are replacing the clip clop and smell of horses, but the storyteller has not changed his watch to catch up with the changing times. Lonely without his Spanish wife, Star, to visit with, the old man has moved into a hotel in town so he will have people around him. Ben still owns a large hunk of Colorado mountain and prairie land, but he has about retired to a tame life that will soon lead to a lonesome death. Cotton and his mother, the widow, Anabelle Mead, gently pulls Ben's story out of him and brings new life to Ben's barren land. Hill brilliantly mixes a blend of Old Spanish landowners, new Americanos from the East, and the professional people who came into Colorado Territory after the Civil War. In the midst of this story there is an old time Indian, Falling Rock, who knows how to cast demons out of a gringo who wants to marry one Spanish woman, but who has already gone to bed with a woman who is almost her spitting image. Stir in the beauty of the Huajatolla Mountais (Breasts of the Earth), tell the story in the lingo that a cattleman of the time would use, and you have a story that will not let you go until the very last gripping word leaves your head spinning! Perhaps the most fascinating part of the story is how the author cleverly overcomes Ben's dilemma with the two Spanish woman he is intimately involved with. As I was reading this book, I kept thinking, Mr. Hill, "You have created a situation that can do nothing but crash into a rock wall". On one hand there is Patron Sevilla's hot bloodied daughter, Star, who knows Ben is sleeping with a woman she considers to be a punta. A less skillful author would have smashed this whole story into a million pieces instead of letting the story end with the two rival women in each other's arms!

I have thoroughly enjoyed this "Book of Poetry" It offers a variety of inspiring works from poets both past and present. It allows you to open your mind and just enjoy. The collection of poetry has been put together in an easy to use format, including cross-references to other poems of similar content or subject matter. I find this book very enjoyable, both for personal reading and also to share with others.

This book has very many things to do for science, but we have been homeschooling for 10 years, so there was nothing new in it for us! If you are new to teaching or homeschooling this may be just what you need though. It is very nicely laid out and easy to understand.

Please excuse my spelling, it's terrible This book is terrific. I started reading this book and couldn't put it down. It is a fine collection of stories ranging from the great soilbank days when Kansas alone had 4 million birds to the Royal hunts in Europe where an average daily bag mesaures in the thousands, It has stories more like mine where the average hunt ends with tired dogs and few birds. The book through it's many differant authors also explores the ethics associated with hunting. This book is for the bird hunter who's cleaning his gun for the third time this week when hunting season isn;t for 6 months. It's for the guy who can't stop dreaming of how his new pup will do his first time out. It's for the guy who spends more time with his dogs than with his wife. All hunters will enjoy this book, but the true bird hunter won;t be able to put it down.

I believe that this book is an excellent text for understanding physical metallurgy for the beginner . This is also an excellent reference manual for later information.

The late Robert O. Payne performed pioneering, seminal work on medieval rhetoric and poetics. The Rhetorical Poetics Of The Middle Ages: Reconstructive Polyphony is an outstanding collection of fourteen scholarly and impressive essays in his honor, and focuses on modernist and postmodernist approaches to the rhetorically inflected poetry of the middle ages. From Charles W. Owen's Chaucer: Beginnings, to Johanna C. Prins' Sandrine's Fable: Courtly Discourse and Courtly Behavior; to Anne Howland Schotter's The Role of the Feminine in Dante's Model of Literary Influence, The Rhetorical Poetics Of The Middle Ages offers informative, insightful, challenging, highly recommended, original contributions to a specialized field of literary criticism.
