This has to be one of the best mathematical reference books published today. It covers a wide range of topics from number theory, algebra, geometry, fractions, probability, statistics, ratios, etc. in a simple, highly illustrated, and easily referenced index to almost any math problem encountered by elementary to high school. Highly recommend you keep a copy at home for children';s homework help and one at the office for reference. It's that good. Wish Amazon would place a few illustrations from the book on-line to enable prospective buyers a chnace yo see how well the authors present this material. Should be on anyone with children's MUST HAVE list.

My child's middle school made this book available a couple of years ago. It has proven to be an invaluable resource for middle school and high school math. It provides examples and explanations for almost any middle/high school math problem. It contains more-easily-understood examples than the text books. It's been an invaluable tool for me as a parent.

I was a B student in Math. But after I bought this book I have been getting A's on all my test and quizes!! I love this book and I will keep it forever. I think that is really helpful and if I dont get something Instead of going to my parents I get Math On Call out. Thank you so much Math on Call!!!

For the last three or four years, I have recommended this book to my students' parents. I teach algebra (grade 8) and pre-algebra (grades 7 and 8) and have found that his book is written in a non-threatening, easy to understand manner. It is a perfectly wonderful reference book. Math is scary enough...this book demystifies algebra. Love it!

This is the best reference handbook that parents and teachers will fine it useful for students. Algebra to Go, "demystifies algebra for students in 8 grades and up by explaining key and often complex math topics in a way that's clear, friendly, and understandable". It is also a great refresher for parents who may have forgotten a thing or two about Algebra..

For the most part the story was believable.Anybody who spent time in Vietnam would be able to relate to the main character. I did feel that at least one chapter was not necessary for plot development but I liked the book overall.

This book gives lots of information on employment practices and liability in an easy to read format. It also lists great references to policies and their providers. An overall very useful book.

This masterful and explosive adventure novel is superb and unbelievably exciting. I was unable to put the book down. The well written and original Nazi storyline - gave the book a reality bite

David Kaplan and Andrew Marshall obviously have an amazing amount of knowledge to share when it comes to the underworlds of Japan. In this book, they do an outstanding job of telling the true story of AUM. Whether you like fiction or non-fiction, you will be capitivated by the story of this Doomsday cult. I give it 5 stars on a 5-star scale.

Kaplan's book about the Yakuza was very well written, but this book was an eye-opener. It was among the scariest tales I've ever read, and it featured lurid stories about Master Asahara's cult apparatus. This is a story every public security official should read, one about a ruthless group of religious fanatics who went the whole nine yards in their attempt to murder 90% of the Japanese peole so as to launch a holy war between Japan and the United States, and to bring about the end of the world. The accounts of the physical and mental abuse to recruits may stun even the most seasoned reader. It reminded me of the Holocaust. But most important is Kaplan and Marshall's exposure of Japanese society, which many of us view as a utopia. In this book and in "Yakuza", we see Japan as it really is, enslaved by corruption, hiding abject poverty, and losing many of its children to fanatics like Chizuo Matsumoto.

Like all of the other people who read this book, I had to keep on reminding myself that it was real and a lot of people did actually have these thoughts and intentions. The thing that really got me was how recent it all was, I'm 17 and I'm so used to everything like that being ages ago - world war 2 for example. After I had read the book I realised that it was only written in 1996 so I searched to find some recent news on them only to find that Shoko Asahara's trial is still going, the cult have relaunched themselves and they even have their own website. They managed to do all what they did 10 years ago, technology has moved on a lot since then and I dread to think what they are capable of now. If you do buy this book, I would recommend you read the last few pages carefully, its like reading the terrorist forecast of New York, very scary and yet very true.

This was a good effort by this author. I found the historical representation correct in the facts. The plot was good and focused. The story moves along and there are some characters that you have no problem visualizing. This book does not break into anything new and is an above average entry into this type of story. Overall a better then average book in a crowded field.

The War of the Raven is an excellent book. The plot was a thrilling and suspensefull. The plot twisted just about every time I turned the page. It was great, I've read it a few times and I find new things every time. A great World War novel in its own odd respect focusing in on a major event, but more importantly the small details around it that made it happen.

This is an excellent companion to Kaplan and Saddock. I found the toxicology review particularly helpful. The questions are sometimes too detailed but very thought provoking. Good for any behavioral science/ psych course.

The Scorpion was an adventure story about an orphaned American boy raised by a bedouin tribe called the Mutir (shepherds) in mid 20th century Saudi Arabia. Kaplan wove the ancient bedouin culture into a backdrop of political turmoil and change facing the Arab world of today. Kaplan painted a vivid picture of a desert world alive with passion, chicanery and danger trying maintain ties with the past while colliding with the present and culminating with a great camal race to boggle the mind.
