C for mortals
This is a great beginners book for C programming. All topics are explained with practical examples. As with everything , it requires time and dedication, but the effort will be well worth it. I can't say much that is good at Brooklyn College, but this text is the exception.

BEST BOOK IN THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE FOR LEARNING C
HI, MY NAME IS RAHEEL ZAMIR. To tell you the truth this is the only book you will ever need to learn the C programming. The author of this Keith Harrow was my professor and ho was like a walking book and you will not find any other professor like him in the entire universe. His book was so easy and clear to read that I finished it in 10 days and I felt that I master the C programming language and actually I did. And the good thing is that I got A in his class. Thanks to Professor Harrow!!!!!!!!! If you want to learn C get this book right now!!!!

A brilliant look at racial division of labor in America
BEST BOOK ever written, in my experienced opinion. All people craving info. on racial divisions(and aren't we all?) should pick up this classic text. It ingeniously describes the evolution of the working classes in America. And who said work was BORING? Not this kind. This would make the perfect gift for your grandmother, but more importantly, for yourself. A riveting journey into the soul, not to be missed by any history buff. American Work is true to its name, it was written by an American, cause shes gotta work.

Very Informative
I haven't seen a book like this in the past. This has been a very interesting book for me. It provides tremedous information for the Bride (and Groom as well). A must for anyone preparing for marriage.

Raw But Real American History
Mrs. Ida B. Wells-Barnett should be as well known as Soujourner Truth or Rosa Parks. This was one revolutionary heroine! She was run out of Memphis for writing boldly about lynchings in the 1890s. She also did an in-depth study on lynching called "A Red Record" (included here) that told the truth about this practice on a national level. Another excellent segemnt teels the forgotten true tale of Robert Charles, who unsucessfully stood up to a New Orleans Lynch mob in 1900 using credible primary sources (see als William Ivy Hair's "Carnival of Fury" on that subject). This is the history you didn't get from your high-school teacher! READ it!

Valuable Research Book
I have found this to be a wonderful research book for my own collection of perfumes and for on line buying and selling perfumes. I have the 1999 Revised Price Guide and have discovered it has been most helpful for bidding on line and it keeps me price smart. The descriptions are precise and clear with measurements of the perfumes. Very important to me is the section written about Reproductions. I would like to see this section updated, as the problem gets progressively larger every year. This book is very informative about atomizers, manufacturers and trade names of perfumes, what marks to look for pertaining to each perfume, with a section (most important to me) on jeweled purse bottles. This book has literally broadened my horizons on perfume bottles and boudoir accessories.

Nice try Jacqueline
The dude on the cover reminds me of Maxwell, one of the only reasons I just had to purchase this book. Don't they look hot yall? This book for me was only eye candy. After painfully reading my way through the first chapter I wanted to get my money back. "She" I forgot the main female characters name, well she gets on my nerve. Where is the back bone sistuh? She got fired from her job and didn't even put up a fight to keep it. Instead "She" allowed herself to be pushed around. Weak.
The second chapter wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either. Seth, ahh I know the mans name, well Seth seems cool and likeable, but after getting a quarter ways through this novel I realized one thing, it's boring me into a coma. There is no drama, action, nothing. The book is uneventful, dull, and falls into the unoriginal pit of all the other 'bad' novels I've read. Too predictable.
I'm not knocking Jackie, she has potential, the sister has a way with words, but just not the right way, or shall I give a little literary humor and say "not the-write-way"

More Than Meets the Eye
In The Arms Of One Who Loves Me, the debut novel by poet Jacqueline Jones LaMon, has a very sexy cover. It appears we have opened the door on two lovers and yanked them apart, mid-kiss. Inside, we meet the two--Nia Benson and Seth Jackson-- but well in advance of that smooch. And what we find are two believable and very human characters, so much so at points that the urge comes to slap them. Vulnerable and yet arrogant, hopeful and driven, Nia and Seth move in their respective worlds, showing us how head and heart converge for these black early '80s
professionals. Humor, popular music, and the "nouveau buppy" values that sprinkle the lives of the characters add memorable turns throughout the novel.

LaMon's particular gift is dialogue, and the plot advances most effectively in her precisely drawn scenes. Because of her attention to detail, several of the secondary characters also enrich and season the novel without bogging it down. Seth, however, seems the more fully-realized character, perhaps because he is an extrovert. Some plot details get cloudy toward the middle, but LaMon uses structure to keep us engaged in the unfolding dramas of both Seth and Nia.

There are many novels on the market framed around a black heterosexual love match. And LaMon makes a memorable contribution. The book has its well-developed erogenous zones.
But ultimately, In the Arms... offers more. It is more a chronicle of emotional struggle toward wholeness than a predictable sex romp by idealized soap-opera types.
It takes us to authentic sites of pain,
looks beyond surfaces, and shows us --repeatedly--
that there are ways out of the suffering we bring on ourselves.

In the Arms of One Who Loves Me gives us love not simply as
destination, but as a journey, likely to bring our passionate fantasies to fruition, if we stay on the path.

life happens
In the Arms of the One Who Loves Me was a book not only about finding that special someone, but about finding yourself. The two main characters, Nia and Seth, are attempting to meet their goals in life. Opposition, however, is constantly in their way. The novel essentially deals with each character separately, allowing the reader to become intimately involved in both Seth and Nia's lives. It leaves you with a feeling of hope -- that everything will eventually work out in your own life -- and a sense of knowing that no one can affect your life more than you. I loved the book and can't wait for more from Mrs. LaMon. I highly recommend this book.

Horrible!
Kennedy fans beware! This book will make you angry. Saying Jackie let Aristotle Onassis murder her husband and the father of her children is preposterous. January Jones is living in a fantasy world.

Dissapointing
When I bought this book I was looking forward to spending my time in a productiv and relaxing way. Unfortunately, this book came as a big dissapointment to me, because of its superficiality and amount of trivial details. I expected much more from the author and from the book itself. Enjoy reading, anyways.

Jackie, Ari & John
The book was okay. I always enjoy the different theories on the
the Kennedy saga of sadness. I personally do not put much faith in the theory of Ms. Jones, however, some of the facts she has stated in the book seem very truthful. I look forward to reading more of her books.
