"Those Building Men", portrays a story of the structural foundations that our ancestors helped create through their toils in labor. This book tells the story of the men who built the roads, bridges, railways, canals, and skyscrapers to shape America.
"Those Building Men" associates the reader with a story of praise, and contribution toward our fathers, and the work they put into building our nation. The illustrations of this book capture the image of hard-working men of all different races, ages, and classes working together for one common goal, as well as portraying the painstaking labors that our fathers endured to build our country. The illustrator uses a gray, brown, and blue watercolor design to illustrate the different landscapes. He also uses hard chiseled shapes to form the designs of the workers and backgrounds. This book cleverly reminds us of the history of how our nation was built, and prompts us to consider how fortunate we really are. This book sheds light on a way to communicate to future generations the importance of an almost-fading past.

This book has some good pointers and provides good strategies for giving your opponents the biggest rhetorical butt-kicking of their life, but their methodology is far too rigid. "Be gracious to your opponent" they say and "Make concessions." I have always been a fan of agressive arguing and find the arguing style the professors who wrote this book to be a little too passive. But I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy using this book for class. It may have proposed an largely ineffective way to write persuasive essays, but it was at least very informative about what it had to say. Most of the essays they include as examples of argument stlyes are very well written. While I reccommend this book for your writing classes, I must warn you not to take the text of this book as rigid dogma meant to define how all papers should be written. Go with what your gut feeling tells you, and you will shine.

I would like to know more about this book. Miniatures is too general. Is it about Doll houses or Military /Fantasy lead Figures.?

The book is an introduction to painting miniatures (portraits, landscapes, animals, still life scenes) in oils, watercolours and gouache. I found it very useful in discovering the techniques used and being able to follow examples given by a number of expert British miniaturists.

For those of us looking for new up-to-date technical information in the process field we will have to go elsewhere. This book contains the same basic information as in the first edition. While it has some good material for learning beginning theoretical process control at the technical level it is a waste of money if you are interested in modern technology.

This was one of the first books i read on process control.Whether or not you should buy the book would depend on what your course demands.

The beauty of the book lies in its lucidity which shows the authors understanding of all the sensors and instruments...the book stresses on the principles of working of all the instruments. i understood every single transducer I learnt about in the book.Another plus point of the book is that it is self-sufficient, in that you dont have to take another book while reading this one.It starts off by discussing all that you need to know about OP-Amp circuits for process control and even digital electronics.

My course in Process Control demanded a very high degree of detail in most of the process control mechnanisms and transducers so i didnt find everything I needed in this book.But it covered my syllabus to the greatest extent of all the books and explained it in a beautiful manner.

This booklet is nothing more than someone who lacks the insight to really understand the cultural, political, and spiritual aspects of black hair and hairlocking. HAIRLOCKING IS NOT A FAD! We have to explore why OUR people are afraid of wearing afros, cornrows, braids, and locks. The book needed to explore the holistic impact of hairlocking or natural hairstyles in general. This booklet is a signal that more SERIOUS research is needed into our culture BEYOND the Bible, Qur'an, and Torah

I purchased this book because i just recently decided to redread my hair. Having had dreads 5 years ago to my waist, i thought by purchasing this book i might gain some new techniques on dreading hair. The book reads like a 3rd grade primer, there are a number of grammatical and typographical errors. I am sorely disapointed, and angry, as i paid not only for this rubbish, but a shipping and handling charge that totaled almost the same amount as the book. I read a description of the book and it seemed exactly what i was looking for with illustrations included. the illustrations are poorly drawn and have nothing to do with the technique of starting dreadlocks. Wanda Johnson made out like a bandit with 155,000+ issues sold, but if you have not yet purchased this 35 page rip-off then save your money! AND IT IS NOT WORTHY OF EVEN 1 STAR...IF I COULD HAVE GIVEN IT A ZERO RATING, I WOULD HAVE!

NOT WHAT YOU WANT IN A TROUBLESHOOTING BOOK AT ALL. VERY LITTLE IN THE WAY OF EXPLANATION. HARDLY ANY GOOD SYSTEM ANALYSIS. ASKS YOU WHAT THE PROBLEM IS, THAT PROBABLY ISN'T THAT WHY YOU BOUGHT THE BOOK. IT IS SUPPOSED TO HELP YOU FIGURE IT OUT. SAVE YOUR MONEY KEEP LOOKING AROUND. THIS COPY IS COMING BACK.

This is a decent book if you are looking for a brief, general survey of HVAC troubleshooting. The format is concise and well organized, however it is definitely lacking in details and complete, accurate explanations. It would be much better if there were solutions to at least some of the troubleshooting problems.

I found some usefull information in the book. I didn't find any answers to the trouble shooting questions.. Maybe I need to read a book on reading a book.

taking a course which references this book, I'd say to all professors... keep looking. Decidedly un-perspicuous. At times maddening. Sorry to not be more constructive, but I've got this assignment due...

A Course in Phonology seemed to me to be a course in bad editing. The one thing that most kept this book from being helpful in the learning of phonology is that it never used the same terminology chapter to chapter. The terminology switches were just assumed by the author to be known by the reader. The glossary did not have entries for any of these terminology switches, in fact the glossary had precious few entries that gave definitions past its own root word. The second annoying thing about this book were the homework assignments at the end of each chapter. There was no answer key, and they spent an entire chapter discussing rules for English phonology, then decide to give French, Catalan, and some bizzare Micronesian language as the assignments all of which had different rules that were discussed in the chapter. The accompanying workbook also had it's problems among which was the missing answer key.

As an introduction to autosegemental phonology, this text was a disappointment. While the authors obviously have a great deal of knowledge about and experience with the theory, I found the discussion to be incomplete in many places and the examples to be frequently mismatched to the discussion. There are serious problems with the practice problem sets at the end of each chapter as well.
Specifically:
1) the terminology used in these exercises is not consisent throughout the book or even in connection with the chapter they are intended to reinforce.
2) no solution set is available to which one can turn when no satisfactory solution is evident (a great disadvantage to the professor).
3) frequently the discussion in a chapter presents rules and justifications for English only and then the practice problems deal with languages that obey completely different sets of norms (and the rules may or may not have been identified as language-specific).
An overarching problem is that the discussion presented by Roca and Johnson fails to account for the fact that the operations of phonetics and phonology are language-specific, and so much of what is presented deals with overgeneralizations. Of even greater concern from a theoretical point of view is their inconsistent dealings with the importance of diachronic factors. While declaring on one hand that factoring out diachronic linguistics is key to the autosegmental approach, the authors in other places invoke history to resolve problems that cannot be solved autosegmentally.
In sum, this is a confusing, incomplete text in serious need of revision.

I'm a computer engineering student and have been studying this book for 3 months and I've concluded that it's impossble to learn from. In almost all of the examples, the author skip steps that are vital for students who have never analyzed circuits in such detail before. The reading is difficult to understand, even after reading each chapter two or three times. It's as if the authors wrote this text to impress their colleages. I'm fortunate that my professor explains the material faily well. I'm definitely going to sell this book back at the end of the semister and use the money to invest in a useful circuits text. I highly recommend you do not buy this book, I wish I never did.

Take my suggestion: "Don't ever buy this book". I am a second year student and my school use this book as a text for Introduction to EE. Since my instructor is so bad in explanation, at the very beginning, I thought, I could rely on this text for understanding. I HAVE READ EVERY SINGLE WORD IN THE FIRST TWO CHAPTERS AND REPEATED SO MANY TIMES AND STILL, I DON'T COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND THINGS. Very vey hard to follow. If you don't believe what I said, read it yourself before buying it.

This book is extremly difficult to learn from. The material that is covered is not explained very well for someone just starting out. There may be one of two reasons for this, either the authors know the subject matter so well they lost touch with the basics or they more or less wrote the book to impress their peers.

This book is so full of mistakes (as well as being poorly written and designed) it would be funny if I hadn't had to pay for it. Probably rushed out to take advantage of the Beatles' "new" success because of the "1" CD, this is one you should avoid.

I ran accross this book at a local book store and bought it for a Christmas gift. Being a first generation Beatles fan, I think I know a fair amount about the Fab Four. I found this book to be full of errors. A photo of Paul McCartney with Jane Asher is identified as Paul and Linda. Another picture is labeled as being of John and Yoko. Even a non-fan would be able to see that the people in the photograph are clearly NOT John and Yoko.

DON'T BUY THIS BOOK!

Consumer Beware!- I visited a book store not to long ago, and sadly, discovered this book. I am a fast reader and I reviewed half of the book and skimmed the rest. I train in reasonable Ninjutsu. This American Ninjutsu book has nothing to do with the tradition of ancient Japanese Warriors. These guys must have seen too many American Ninja movies! These techniques in this book will only result, if used, in the reader being hurt and demolished by attackers. This book contains "holes" in techniques and too many steps that put a user in extreme danger. Word of the wise, a good Ninja would waste no time taking out an attacker or a threat and they would diminish the possibility of being hurt themselves.
