This is a fabulous book for children interested in animals. It is very detailed and has beautiful photos. Our young child refers to it as "The Great Big Book of Everything," as in the Disney Channel's "Stanley" cartoon. It really does seem to have everything inside.

At first I was hesitant to order this book, with no picture of the cover on Amazon and no review to judge the book I took a chance and I am very glad I did. I bought this book as a bargain book, price-wise and content-wise I couldn't have made a better choice. I am very impressed and for me it has turned out to be a great buy since my kids love learning about animals.
This book is HUGE and heavy ,almost ten pounds! It concentrates on the four major groups: Mammals,birds,reptiles and amphibians. In-depth and comprehensive text with superb photographs and illustrations. Very good research material.

Josef Originals were figurines from my childhood and are a wonderful collectable to pass down through generations. This well illustrated book will delight any Josef collector. It begins with a short written history and jumps into many pages of clear pictures. Each page is a delight to view. This guide has a price listing in the back. Collect all three "Josef" books by the Authors Jim & K Whitaker. These books are indeed collectibles in themselves.

I love this book. The photos are very clear and sharp. It has a great and easy to read price guide and background on the artist. Invaluable book if you collect Josef Original figurines!

This is not normally the genre of book I would read. I only did so because it was highly recommended by 2 friends. The pages seemed to turn themselves and I finished vowing to re-read it soon. It left me with a fresh outlook and enthusiasm to put my ideas into play! I highly recommend it to single and married people.

This book will surprise you! It has a brief review in the beginning of each chapter of the relevant physiology, and the rest of the chapter illustrates how the drug affects the "pristine order" of the principles described previously, so there`s a line of thinking that is followed from beginning to end, starting in the basic physiology and ending in the adverse effects and drug interactions. There is not too much information printed, which makes the book ideal to learn quickly and effectively, nothing like Katzung, where you take a whole afternoon to read a chapter. There are some beautifully conceived schemes and graphics that help a lot in understanding this part of medical science. The only bad thing for a European reader like me is that it is adjusted to the american reality .

This book is written by a medical college professor, for medical students, and review is usually used for USMLE, but when I saw the book, This is excellent book for students in pharmacy proffession too, because the author of this book is a Pharmacist first and then a Medical college professor, so this is a book for every medical profession student and teachers. This book is an excellent way to prepare for the NAPLEX exam. It is comprehensive, well written, and worth every penny. I atteneded a live teaching course presented by the author in OKLAHOMA STATE UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF OSTEOPATHIC MEDICINE and it was also EXCELLENT. I learned more in that course than I learned in 5 years of pharmacy school.

Mr. Mee is a fantastic writer. As another reviewer remarked, Mr. Mee definitely brings history to life. The meetings described in this book make for great, enticing reading material for junior high school on up.

Mr. Mee is an excellent writer and truely brings history to life. I recommend this book to anybody that wants more than "light reading", has an interest in human-kind and is not a real history buff.

Well, maybe -everyone- shouldn't own this book, but any self-respecting, rock-banging Anglo Saxonist would do well to have a look. And if you can't spring for the 85 clams they're asking, then have your university library order up a copy.

over the past several years, i have read and acquired a good number of books about indian beadwork. all have included at least one or two war shirts. none of them prepared me for the overwhelming impact of this book.

war shirts were given to the men of the plains nations for remarkable courage and character and for impressive deeds. the shirts would be transferred to other men of equal standing. the designs were worked by women who were unusually talented in quill and bead embroidery. occasionally, the design of the shirt would be directed by the man to wear it, based on his dreams/visions.

since it is oversized, the book allows larger, more detailed photos of the shirts. quillwork, paint, beads and other materials show up clearly. the workmanship is stunning, the designs are magnificent. the use of materials is inspirational. the examples range from the early 19th century to contemorary shirts.

the text, aside from a couple of areas where the proofreader failed miserably in his job, is almost as interesting as the shirts. this is not to insult the authors. no words could equal the shirts. there are also quotes from contemporary indians about the shirts that are interesting and illuminating.

if this book had been published by abrams, the price would have been at least doubled. given the quality of the photos, that fact alone is worth a couple of stars.

this is a must for anyone interested in indian beadwork, history or art and for anyone interested in beauty and great design of any origin.

Simply sensational! A true page-turner! George Christie has really outdone himself with the third edition of this legal classic. A must-buy for every law student. Professor Christie has brought Torts to life in a way that only he can! Think contributory negligence is still alive? Think again. Christie sets the record straight in an epic tale of tortfeasors and trespass, judges and juries, restatements and res ipsa loquitur. Assume the risk and buy this one today!

The book brings out a very important balance to the context of history of mathematics. Most of us have no idea that Mayan civilizations could have had developed mathematics. This book will change our view. Even in the context of Indian mathematics, the book draws attention to the context of Kerala mathemtics, to show the continuity of Indian mathematics in 13-14 th centurary. Best part I liked about `quipu'. It is a mop which consists of a collection of knots, often dyed in one or more colours. He discusses how `quipu' of Inca tribes are actually mathematical records, a hard disk of their time. The book is written in a lively form. As a information, The title ` Crest of peacock' means mathematics as as the head of all knowledge.(

This is a set of papers written by Stigler in his marvelous career. It is divided into 5 parts: I. Contributions to economics; 2. contributions to political economics; 3. contributions to industrial organization; 4. history of economic thought; 5. the wit of George Stigler.

It is very difficult to gather all these 23 articles in only one place. The book is worth because you can find a bunch of deep knowledge.

Enjoy the book, revisit old ideas very clear and well written, and perhaps get other ones.
