Save your money. This is one of the worst books that I have purchased and wasted my time reading. While very easy reading, this adds nothing to the investigation of the Simpson and Goldman killings.

The author made a list of 101 different scenarios and copied the theory, conspiracy or theory from the one before. Don't waste your time or your money.

This author gives in complete detail many theories to the OJ murders.Details that maybe many haven't thought of or have forgotten.Extremely well written book. I would recommend this book to all who have an interest in the OJ murder case.

I used this book as an introductory text in my surgery term in medical school. It is an entry level text for medical students, and is useful for getting an overview of the most common surgical diseases. However, it does lack some depth in diagnosis, and has an annoying habit of separating sections within the discussion of a particular disease. For example, in discussion about the various inflammatory bowel diseases, it would have the aetiology for Crohn's and Ulcerative colitis, and then the investigation of both and then the treatment of both. I would have found it much more useful to have the complete section on one disease before moving onto the next disease. Otherwise an excellent, extremely easily read text.

This is a good introduction to the Richard Montague's semantic theory, beginning with the basics, working up through type theory, tense, modals, and intension, and ending with a thorough explanation of the PTQ system. Ideal for the beginner seeking to become conversant in this classical theory. The reader is assumed to have a basic familiarity with set theory and predicate logic.

Peter Brown is a prolific historian who focuses primarily on the textbook market, a needed professional in a field where many look down on doing such "lay" work. Well written the reader with not be bored. However, the book is so short and not really organized as a textbook so it makes it difficult to grasp how late antiquity differs from the earlier periods or the medieval world.

If you are a fan of Bourgeois's (early) sculpture, you will definitely enjoy this book! The one drawback with this catalogue is that it was published in 1995 and doesn't show any of her recent work. (Since 1995, louise Bourgeois has produced some great pieces: sculpture, installations, drawing and prints.) If you are not yet familiar with Bourgeois Oeuvre, look at a recently published catalogue in order to get a complete overview of her work.

Written by a woman who believes that the size of the index card you use to takes notes matters more than what you write on it.

Markman is a much better writer than teacher. I'm taking an Advanced Composition class for high school and we're using this book as a guide. Markman gets off to a great start, in fact, the first few pages are simply inspirational. But after that, it's all downhill. The section on bib cards is just confusing. Instead of providing an outline of how to set them up and examples (like the MLA Guide to Writing a Research Paper), she provides only examples (and many of those examples contain an unbelievable amount of Spanish text). The example on how to reference a casebook were so confused, I ended up just going to looking at the MLA's Reference. The section on taking notes is also unorganized and hard to follow. While I believe she could do an excellent job of guiding us through this procedure, she makes it much more complex than it needs to be. Also, I was reading her sixth edition, published recently. In my opinion, she should have revised the notecard section to show how easy it is to use a computer to take notes. My final complaint about this book is the section on plaigerism. Basically, it teaches a student the best way to plaigerise a book, especially at the high school level. If you're really interested in writing a good research paper, seek another book.

This book is an excellent source of information for high school students writing research papers! I highly recommend it for anyone who needs to do research. Whether a first-time writer or someone who has do countless papers, this book shows you step-by-step how to write an excellent paper.

The new Amazon format forces the above number rating. This reviewer objects.

Mr. Peters is able to recollect the "well sculptured butts" of other soldiers very effectively, but his other memories of World War II are faulty. He jumbles dates and events, mislabels units, quotes wildly inaccurate statistics and anachronistic conversations (paratrooper berets in 1943?) and claims "D-Day jitters" despite apparently having arrived in Europe some months too late for that historic event. The Brits have a useful term for this: "a dog's breakfast".

Peters' erotic musing will find their audience, but military history readers will not take seriously a work which claims "O.D." stands for "off duty".

Nothing earth-shaking happens in the foreground of this brief (but intense) memoir of repressed longing and suppressed fear of a Wisconsin farmboy who was in the army but not in comabt during WWII. It may well make a mess of military chronology, but the feelings ring true. Peters wanted a kind of camraderie that was and remains forbidden in the American military. Typically of "the great generation," he desperately wanted to marry and to hide homoerotic desires. He received vicarious excitement from another clerk-typist bolder than he, who was acting on his homoerotic desires (and survived through his term of duty). The hard-scrabble existence of his Wisconsin childhood is also vividly and economically recalled.

These gentleman essentially supply a how-to on how to fabricate accidents and how to get away with it or, in the alternative, how insurance companies can dupe injured people from collecting on their claims.

The book provides a good overview of accident reconstruction. It is a basic book; however, is not BIASED as previous reviewer may imply. Looks like an angry plaintiff's attorney writing the last review...and those who followed. Read the book for yourself.

Having just completed the GED testing in Santa Clara County, CA, I wanted to take a moment to share some observations I made while using "Barron's, How to Prepare for the GED" (11th Edition). While I did find the guide helpful, I also found a highly disturbing number of errors. Most of the errors I'm referring to go far beyond common typographical or publication errors. Considering the purpose of the publication, I expected quality but found a total lack of it.

Of particular concern, is the math section. The cover of the guide advertises "Extensively revised and updated," and "All new math review." However, is where I found the greatest number of flagrant errors.

I don't know if primary responsibility for these errors rests with the author(s), editor(s), or publisher, but I'm certain most everyone will agree that the quality of educational materials of this nature is everyone's concern.

I have sent a sample of the errors I encountered to the publisher for review. I have also forwarded a copy to the Board of Education in California. Based on the number of (obvious) errors I encountered, I think it safe to assume the actual number of errors, in this particular publication, goes far beyond the 50 "+" question and answer errors I documented.

I bought this book because I have had so many positive experiences with other Barron's series. I will be taking a general math/English exam as a part of an application process to work at my children's school. I wanted to review various subject areas that I thought mught be covered on the exam, and so I picked up Barron's GED and CBEST books. I am still making my way through the GED book, and haven't yet started on the CBEST.

I am almost through with the math portion of the GED book, and I am so angry. By the time I realized how many errors were in almost every micro-section of the math review, I had already thrown away my receipt. This book is unbelievable. Granted, the portions that are written accurately are thoughtful and mostly easy to follow, but the amount of errors (3 errors on one of the math pages) are incomprehensible. How did this happen? Error after error after error.....I think you get the picture. I am now on page 522, where the "ANSWERS" portion of a chapter review test lists the answer to problem #6 as choice "7." Well, hello, but the choices only number from 1-5. Choice Number 7 doesn't exist!

Barron's wasted my time and my money on this one. The discussion portions are extremely helpful, but need to be backed up with consistantly accurate math problems and answers. If Barron's can go back and fix these errors (and maybe offer the poor saps who bought this version an unconditional money-back return policy, with or without receipt in hand), this would actually be a great book.

The book is pretty good except of the chapter maths. Maths is lousy. There are more than a dozen real terrible mistakes! I've never seen before a book with so many mistakes.

Instead of one big novel involving characters from all six current Star Trek book series, this is a collection of six short stories, each one picking up from the cliffhanger ending of each of the Gateways novels from the individual series (if that makes sense). While this sounded like a cynical marketing ploy, I had hoped that the six stories would build on each other to present some sort of unified whole, bringing the whole adventure to one grand conclusion. How wrong I was!

The Star Trek (original series), Challenger, and Voyager stories could--and probably should--have easily been included as concluding chapters in their respective books. Each one is nothing more than an epilogue to the main story. The Deep Space Nine and New Frontier stories present somewhat separate adventures, but that doesn't make them much better. In both, characters get transported to significant locations (an important historical moment for Colonel Kira, a mythical afterlife for Calhoun and Shelby) where nothing of any real consequence seems to happen. Of course, since both series present ongoing adventures, it's possible that these tales plant seeds for upcoming stories. Even if that were the case, it doesn't make these stories any less inconsequential or any more satisfying.

The Next Generation tale, longer than the other five, does, indeed, wrap up the Gateways story. But, like the other five, there's no real reason (besides financial) that this story couldn't have been included at the end of Doors Into Chaos.

Because four of the stories are completely dependent upon what came before, there is a complete lack of tension or suspense. All the big events happened in the parent novels, and all the authors have left to do in What Lay Beyond is tie up the loose ends (even when there aren't really any loose ends that need tying up). Any opportunites for suspense that could have been sustained through the other two stories are completely ignored by their authors. Frustratingly, those two authors, Peter David and Keith RA DeCandidio, have done particularly good Star Trek work in the past, which makes their lackluster contributions here even more disappointing.

So, if you followed the Gateways saga so far and need to see what happens next, I recommend waiting for the paperback. Nothing of enough consequence happens to make this an immediate must-read.

The series Book 1-6 was promising, if annoying for having a cliffhanger ending that forced you to buy the next book, or specificially the Book 7 which contains all the endings.

Well after being built-up by books 1-6, wondering if the inconsistencies between those books would be tied together in ST Gateways Book 7, wondering if Book 7 "the grand conclusion of what lay beyond" would put forth a good explanation for the Iconian mystery, tie all the loose ends together and provide good conclusions for the cliffhanger endings of books 1-6...............it was most most most disappointing to see that this was not the case.

Book 7 creates more inconsistencies and the endings are [bad]. Oh some of the endings were ok, but the final ending...for the TNG book in the series...which was SUPPOSED to tie everything together, totally messed it up and failed, completely failed to deliver! I mean...first in books 1-6 they established that once activated a gateway cannot be destroyed no matter what they threw at it because it will simply absorb the energy. THEN in Book 7...suddenly Gateways CAN be destroyed by explosive force...no explanation given!!! Just a lazy author who didn't even read the previous book he wrote and ignored all stuff he established in the previous book! Once again, this is a MAJOR LETDOWN!

I'm not too fond of the Trek editors' current penchant for crossovers, but so far, they've managed to keep things from getting too irritating. This book ends the six stories started in the previous volumes of the series, but doesn't connect them; each adventure is a separate novella.
All of the stories were interesting enough to keep my attention, but the Kirk story dragged on for a while, and provided absolutely no backstory beyond the jacket type. Since this story opens the volume, it may cause readers who didn't pick up all the previous books (like myself; I only bought the TNG and New Frontier volumes) to turn away.
The other stories lacked both these faults, so the enjoyment you take from them is pretty much proportionate to your preference for each series. I knew nothing about Voyager, DS9, or Challenger but the basic concepts, but since each story followed only the captain (or Kira, in the DS9 case), it worked out. In fact, the Challenger story was interesting enough to convince me to pick up the original volume. A warning: the Voyager story involves a somewhat gratuitous cameo from a famous guest star, and the ending is irritating, as we watch Janeway say goodbye to every friggin' ship in the caravan. And, of course, there's the unconvincing explanation to why they didn't use the gateways to get home.
I worship Peter David as a god, so I'll leave the New Frontier review to someone less biased.
The TNG story comes last, and serves as an ending. I won't give away any details, but suffice it to say we do get a definite resolution to the crisis, as well as an explanation to just where the Iconians went, along with a really neat Picard story. One problem: there is a painful TMI moment between Troi and Riker in the last chapter; thankfully, it's brief.
I gave the book 4 stars because all the stories but one were above average, and Burgoyne's one-liner justified the hardback price (you'll now it when you see it).
