This workbook is wonderful! It gets down to the point without the unnecessary distractions (such as stickers). It is easy to read and your children will have no trouble at all with the easy to follow directions. It is a great supplement during summer vacation.

The lessons are easy to understand. They are broken down into very simple, logical steps. My 11 year old is teaching himself these concepts with little assistance from parents. The tear out pages make it easy for kids and parents on the go.

We use it for enrichment at home during vacations and weekends away from school. He is in an advanced program in sixth grade, so the 7th grade concepts correspond quite well. We should be in the eight grade book by summer.

The price makes it a great deal! I hope they will publish books for high school.

I am sixth grader who is really into math. I think that this book really helped me go ahead. This book did not only help me go ahead, but I also got into advanced math.I have told many of my friends about this book and they have found it helpful as well. I give this book five stars and a two thumbs up.

North Carolina Crimes is the most important reference book in my arsenal of law enforcement materials. NC Crimes is very easy to read and follow, and is the authority when it comes to assessing elements of crimes in North Carolina. I highly recommend NC Crimes to anyone working in the Criminal Justice field, or studying criminal law in North Carolina. I use NC Crimes every day, and find it to be an invaluable resource.

Thomas Hill Green died of blood poisoning in 1882, and his arguably greatest work -- _Prolegomena to Ethics_, which he hadn't quite finished -- was published a year later under the editorship of A.C. Bradley. While certainly not setting out a complete system of ethics, this great work supplies both a refutation of "empiricism" and a metaphysical foundation for ethics in rationalistic Idealism.

It is Green's conviction, supported here by massive argumentation, that the world in which we live cannot possibly be pieced together out of the sensations and feelings upon which such earlier British philosophers as Locke had tried to rely. On the contrary, our absolute presupposition in the possession of anything deserving to be called "knowledge" is that the world in which we live is an interconnected system, a whole bound together by relations neither the existence nor the apprehension of which can be accounted for in "empiricist" terms.

This world must, Green argues, be the activity of a single Mind the activity of which we reconstruct in some manner as we develop our own knowledge. And the activity of this single Mind, he contends, is also the ground of our moral life. This doctrine he applied to great effect in his _Lectures on the Principles of Political Obligation_, in which he salvaged Rousseau's flawed doctrine of the "general will."

His reformulation of this doctrine was influential on both Bernard Bosanquet and Brand Blanshard, and in general his writings on ethics and political obligation mark a watershed in the history of liberal political thought. Specifically, his departure from Mill and Spencer marks the precise point at which liberalism began to allow an increasingly active positive role for the State -- an issue, by the way, on which I continue to disagree with him.

(For the record, I would contend that the ideal "evenly rotating economy" of the Austrian school of economics is a better expression of the "general will" or "rational will," at least as regards exchangeable goods, than any State activity will ever be. However, I think Green's metaphysics are basically sound and do in fact provide the proper foundation for the liberal commonwealth. In any case, any critics of modern liberalism will have to come to terms with Green at some point, and in my view they will find much in his thought that is worth retaining.)

Green has been criticized for failing to keep clear between two allegedly different views: the view, on the one hand, that reality is _known_ through intelligence, and the view, on the other, that real relations are _constituted_ by the activity of intelligence. I do not think this criticism is well-founded, but at any rate it is in this volume that Green offers his fullest defense of the thesis in question. The reader will have to judge.

Take one overwhelmingly male-centered and predominantly white society, add huge portions of power, racism, sexism, a misinformed public and gross displays of injustice, and you've got a recipe for the American way. This collection of essays written at the time of the Anita Hill/Clarence Thomas hearings holds every bit of relevance now as it did nine years ago. Highlighting earlier civil rights legal battles and connecting their influence to the hearings themselves, each essayist examines in progressive detail just how pervasive--indeed, how dangerously latent--racism and sexism are in our society. How the volatile and often avoided issue of race can blind the equally volative and often dismissed issue of sexism in any race. In these essays, we are given a shockingly clear image of the circus that was the mishandling of the hearings. Explosive, revealling, and thought-provoking, this book yanks the proverbial rose-colored glasses from our collective American conscience and dares us to think for ourselves.

After reading Reinventing Public Education, I believe that the only really hope for the future of American education lies in the contracting approach to public education that the authors describe. This is one of the only books on education I have ever read that understands that the problems with public education in this country have less to do with a lack of standards, poor teaching methods, or inequitable funding, than a system which fails to understand that schools are organizations that can only be successful through organic growth rather than government regulation. This book will appeal to both voucher supporters and ardent defenders of a public education system that is committed to educating all its students

I loved this book! Finally, guys are getting their fair share of advice on child rearing; none too late and happily, before the next baby shower I have to attend. Definitely worth considering as a gift to the expectant father in the next cubicle at work.

For those that want to learn how to do all aspects of web development using PHP, this book for you. As co-author and technical reviewer or 3/4 of the book, I can say from experience that this book does indead cover everything you'll need to know when making dynamic websites.

This book is great for beginners as well as professionals since the introduction material can offer a good beginning to learning PHP and some of the later chapters on Internationalization, databases, xml, optimization, etc. will be suitable for experts.

I wish the book contained more object oriented examples and that some chapters contained more depth, but for a book of 960 pages, it certainly covers a lot of material.

If you are starting to learn PHP and want to expand your skills or are an expert and want some more indepth material, add this book to your collection!

Professional PHP4 Programming is the newer version after "Professional PHP" by Wrox. A lot of information regarding sessions and some on security. I would have liked more case examples, such as this book's previous version used. Granted, most examples are not adequate as full-blown applications, but they give you a good idea on how to structure your programs. NOT for the beginning PHP programmer; if you're unfamiliar with PHP, look for "PHP Fast & Easy Web Development" by J. Meloni, as it has a lot of simple applications to get you started.

In all, this is an excellent book; it's also very useful as a reference on the subject. I'm giving it four stars instead of five because, as stated, some example apps. would have been helpful.

I have been an ASP programmer for nearly 3.5 years now.It's almost 6 months now that i have dropped working on legacy operating syatems and had been on the lookout for an Open source scripting solution.I tried my hand at Perl, but i lost myself in the jargon.I picked up this PHP book on reviews from a friend at the bay area PUG and by golly!!! i seem to have stepped through the first half of this book with ease... it has definitely spurred my interset in learning PHP as an option for my work and i hope to learn a lot more from the entire book

This book reinforced what I already knew, and explained what I need to know to pass the exams. I am a CLP thanks in part to this book (I'll take the rest of the credit). This book offers tips and suggestions about the materials covered on the exam. Most importantly, the book is written in easy to understand english. One weak point is the SA-2 exam chapter. It glosses over the material, and doesn't go far enough to explain what is needed to pass the exam. Nothing beats hands on experience, so other resources will be needed if you lack the experience. Good luck on your exams. Scott

I took the AD1 and AD2 exams prior to the publication of this book. My critique deals solely with the Sys Admin1 section. This book definitely made my life easier. I used this volume in conjunction with CBTSystems CBT, the Sys Admin4.0 handbook and the Self Test software quizzer and scored 85 on the exam. I doubt that the test could be passed without either hands on experience or a good CBT but this book focused my attention on the critical areas of the exam, and I went in with the necessary knowledge due to this book. There were certain peripheral areas which could have been covered in more depth, but I was ready for this exam. Good Job!

I passed AD1, AD2 and SA1 each on the first try using this book. This book and my prior developing experience helped me pass AD1 and AD2 without any other references or practice tests.

To you developers pursuing an R4 CLP that aren't big fans of the SA side of the coin, I recommend that you buy an SA1 practice test from Self-Test and take it again and again. It was well worth the $69.

I certainly hope that they're going to update this book for the R5 exams. If they do, I'm buying it.
