Studying the weekly Scriptures for Catholics
I found this book to be very helpful in my scriptural studies. I like the way it is set up and the reflections. Most of all, I like the way each Sunday has the readings, with Scripture references, a reflection, questions to meditate on, ideas on how to share your faith throughout the week and the references for the rest of the upcoming week readings.

A very good reference book for kids
My 9 year old daughter bought this book and we have found it answered many questions she had about the Bible that I couldn't answer. The langauge is very age appropriate. The setup of the book is great and the phonetic pronunciation was helpful.

Compelling work for this new author!
This book features a host of characters that I could not help but love as my interest in them was captured early on and was captured for the entire work! This book has something for everyone as you become swept up into the action and mystery that largely takes place on the pacific coast. I can't wait for Mr. Wilks next effort, can I purchase an advance copy? Great effort Mr. Wilk, keep up the good work.

Biochemical Engineering? This is the book to keep!
This book is an excellent book to have as an introductory text for biochemical engineering. Its a good book to have irrespective of whether you are new or experienced in this field.

It covers everything from background in biology and chemical engineering with a biochem viewpoint to industrial applications, modeling, control and instrumentation issues... it has a chapter for each of these things. An excellent undergrad/grad text. Definitely a book to keep for lifetime.

Outstanding photography
If you love the Great Plains and have a heart for the prairie, this book will delight you. The photography in here is outstanding. After working with buffalo earlier this year, this was a book I had to get. Some of the photos, including the cover photo, bring not only the sights but also the smells and sounds of the giant herds to mind. These photos are worth more than 1,000 words... because they speak to my prairie heart.

darling
This is a must-read for anyone who is looking for a human perspective on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Chacour brings the story of personal pain, struggle and hope to the pages of his book. This book removes the story from the realm of politicians and mass movements and refocusses the story where it should be, on the individuals hurt by and caught in the chaos, tragedy and beauty that make up the story of the Holy Land. It is beautifully and captivatingly written, capturing the spirit of the land and people. It doesn't gloss over the violence, hardship or injustice. Nor does it leave the reader feeling jaded, hopeless, or helpless. I finished with a desire to read more, learn more about both sides of the conflict and its history. Having travelled in that area of the world before the outbreak of the current conflict, I can say that it does a great job of accurately portraying the place, the people, and the spirit that pervades both. Truly an inspiring work!


Bob Zeller's No Nonsense Business Travelers Guide to Fly Fishing in the Western States: A Quick, Clear & Good-Natured Understanding of Where to Fly Fish When You Are Traveling on Business or Supposedly Doing Something Else (No Nonsense Guides.)

New way to enjoy business travel!
In 1998, 44 million people traveled for business. The average trip lasted 2.5 days. There is no question. Most of these travelers can use a break.

In a new fly fishing guidebook, a seasoned road warrior reveals where travelers can easily find fly fishing within a two hour drive from every major airport in thirteen western states.

Now, with this guidebook, when you are traveling on business (or for some other reason) you can sneak away and turn drudgery into a fun fly fishing outing. Bob Zeller tells you how to pack, what to tell the boss, and how to change your attitude.

"After enough business travel all cities seem the same. I felt the same way several years ago. But not now. I've turned this gloom into an opportunity that most only dream of. Now I look forward to my business trip because I'm going fly fishing!"

The large 8 1/2" X 11" format has lots of detailed, two color maps that show how to get from the airport, where to go and where to fish. Bob says, travel light.

"Fly fishers are obsessed with bugs. When you travel and fly fish you should be interested in what might be hatching locally, but don't try to over-think the problem. Check this guide and ask anyone you meet what might be hatching and then don't worry."

Bob's Four Keys and Credo for the business traveling fly angler set the tone.

Schedule Well: An hour or two drive still leaves two or three hours of fly fishing. That's plenty of time to clear your head and make the trip worthwhile.

Save The Company Money: Rent a car with unlimited miles so extra driving doesn't cost anything. Stay and eat near fishing spots out in the boonies. They are usually cheaper.

Fly Fish for Fun: Fly fishing while on business is not about how many or the size of the fish you catch, but the joy of the experience.

Fly Fish to Stay Fresh: Among my colleagues there are cases of too much drinking in an attempt to avoid the loneliness of the high-rise hotels. There is also the clandestine "dinner date" to avoid eating alone. This has led to even bigger problems.

The Credo: There are many types of fly fishers. Some troll the bars of the high-rise hotels where they catch things they don't want and can't throw back. A traveling man's or woman's credo should be, "Don't bring anything home that you didn't take with you."

With good natured, to-the-point facts, Bob's 30 years of fly fishing-while-on-the-road are your guide to exploring the great outdoors, not just a hotel lobby or airport lounge.


The Book of Genesis

the genesis of good books..
This book is a detail guide for people learning to use the GEneral NEural SImulation System, one of the best softwares for computational neuroscience. The presentation is clear enough for everyone, but it would be much helpful if the readers have a basic backgound on neuroscience and programming language C. Useful exercises are provided at the back of most chapters so readers can make practices immediately.

I think this book should be recommended to undergraduates studying neuroscience. There are many books in the field of neural biophysics and modeling. Students usually find it boring and not easy to comprehend. But this book accompanies a simulation software in the CD-ROM, using which students can easily control and visualize the electrical behaviour of a neuron. This provides a chance for interactive education and should become a great help to their studies.

I am awestruck
This is my favorite James Wright book. These poems are stunning in their visual images and breathtaking in their emotional impact. I am completely hooked.
