Excellent guide
Dr. Curry has devoted many hours to this project over several years and should be proud of the results. The photos are excellent and descriptive information is useful as well. A great resource for entomology enthusiasts.
Great Field Guide
This is the only field guide on dragonflies in Indiana. It is very organized and easy to follow, with great full-color pictures of all the species. Great buy for any dragonfly enthusiast.

A truly top notch book on respiratory diseases
I was sad to see that this book is no longer in print. Truly it is one of the better books in this area and should be required reading in respiratory therapist training programs. I found it was very helpful in preparing for my registry exam when I took it 5 years ago. The presentations are really clear and it makes for enjoyable reading while one is studying. I'm thrilled to have it on my bookshelf and hope that they will consider coming out with a new edition or reprinting the present one.
A Must Have Book
This book is a must have for the respiratory student. It has been written specifically for respiratory therapists and covers twenty-two commonly encountered respiratory diseases. It looks at the assessment and treatment of patients with respiratory and related diseases and emphasizes the use of case studies to illustrate key pathophysiological concepts. Each chapter focuses on one particular disease and provides information on its etiology, pathophysiology, clinical features, and treatment along with case studies and a extensive list of questions that covers the preceding material. This book is especially suited for students preparing for their credentialing examinations and clinical simulation examinations. Although the material is presented in a clear and understandable manner some may need background some courses in anatomy and physiology, diagnostic techniques, cardiopulmonary pharmacology, and medical terminology to fully understand the case reports. This is a book the student will use throughout their respiratory education.

good work for many doctors and children
measurement of Bone age, is to say assessment of skeletal maturity was complex and vague work. Two method were usually used. One was Greulich and Pyle.s atlas. It was original and traditional method but was outdated on some point. Other was this book, Tanner and Whitehouse,s method, It,s 3rd edition was published on 2002. Additionally prediction of Adult Height was added. I prefered this book. But Its data and technique was not confirmed generally.
(Soory for my poor writing, But it was good book for pediatrician and prthopedic surgeon)

Creating Private Foundation
A great great book to give to your existing Private Foundation clients, as well as those considering their options. The book hits on several key points among many others - which are the reason to formalize your investment policy statement(IPS) and donor intent issues. The author is correct that too often good intentions fail to result in effective results. It deals with other vehicles like charitable lead trusts (CLTs) and charitable remainder trusts (CRTs) as well as donor advised and support organizations. It is a big picture book not a technical how to for the attorney!

Attention Lovecraftian Horror Fans
This is the eleventh book in Chaosium's Cthulhu Cycle series. This volume features tales of Lovecraft's most well-known creation, the octopus-headed entity, Cthulhu. Included are the foundational stories (i.e. "The Call Of Cthulhu" by H.P. Lovecraft and "The Black Island" by August W. Derleth), some rare reprints (i.e. "Some Notes Concerning A Green Box" by Alan Dean Foster) and some interesting new stories of Cthulhu in the modern world (i.e. "Rude Awakening" by Will Murray). In any collection the stories are of varied quality but I enoyed the majority of the works collected. If you are a reader of Lovecraft's Mythos fiction then this is a must for your library.

Hey everybody, look at this!
It's been there since 1995, and I was WAITING for s.th. like this! DSS in original language, a reference! Why has nobody recognize this? For now I'm in low budget, bus as soon as I get enough fund I'm going to buy a copy of this, and write a proper review. But if this is the complete text in original language, it's a must for everyone who wants to examine the DSS seriously.

Erosion and Sediment Pollution Control
For those who have the need to determine erosion factors and soil loss this is an excellent book. I have used it to check the results of computer modeling programs for terrace and water impound srtuctures; the programs will only see what is placed in. Using the formulas longhand the flaws in the imputes can be found. I like the book very well.
