This book covers the topics in my precalculus course and demonstrated the features of the calculator in those topics. It is very easy to read and has numerous calculator screen shots in the examples. Excellent book to learn the features of the calculator in the context of the math.

This book is very good. I recommend it to advanced high school students.

Plekon has done a very good job in making available to american readers the lives and thoughts of several 20th century Eastern Orthodox theologians and "lovers of mankind". Each essay examines the main currents of thought for each person and their influnece upon the world in this century. Included are essays about St. Seraphim of Sarov, Sergius Bulgakov, MAria Skobtsova, Fr. Lev Gillet, Paul Evdokimov, Fr. Gregory Krug, Nicholas Afanasiev, Fr. Alexander Schmemann, Fr. Jean Meyendorff, and Fr. Alexander Men. With many first-hand accounts of their lives, the author gives keen insights into their personalities, the context of their actions and writings, and their continuing relevance for the 21st century.

I would also recommend "Light From The East" by Aidan Nichols for an intro to some other Orthodox thinkers. It is out of print, but available from time to time. Enjoy!

Living Icons: Persons Of Faith In The Eastern Church by ordained Orthodox priest Michael Plekon (Professor, Department of Sociology/Anthropology, religion and culture, Baruch College, City University of New York) is a close look at the lives of ten Eastern Orthodox Christian faithful, each of whom lived in the eighteenth through twentieth centuries. Fascinating, uplifting, and evenhanded in its study of characters, foibles, and faith, as well as highly recommended for students of Orthodox Christian History, Living Icons is a profound testimony to the path set by just a few among many amidst constantly changing and conflicting headwaters of religious belief worldwide.

This book makes you understand, learn, think and treat spinal problems in a racional way.

This represents a substantial improvement from the first edition, which was a good text in it's own right. The subject matter is more complete, and virtually every topic has been updated. I recommend it highly.

i was looking for a book for my one year old when i came across this book.In the space of a week he had started to respond to the different scenarios in the book by laughing and giggling. My one year old has a developmental delay and i have sucessfully used this book to get him to identify words with sounds. Each and every scenario in this book is familiar to him. From babys bed time to baby hugging and kissing his sister. I recommend this book to anybody who has a baby especially one with a speech and language developmental delay as it is a great help in beginning to share information and communicate with your child.

After two decades of practicing Eastern meditation, I found what I felt was missing, thanks to Centering Prayer: the presence of the Personhood of God. (I'd grown tired of mind traps and fruitless stillness, and methods emphasing words, breath control, where meditation really degenerated into my clinging to basically repetitive superstitious gesture. Actually, I'm grateful for such experience because it helps me avoid such things in practicing Centering Prayer). The humble, insightful M. Basil Pennington and his colleagues offer a work that is conversational, not didactic. This book boldly asserts the reality of a loving God. All those years I'd focused on the Void, the Impersonal, an inner Something, Someone, kept prodding me, which I initially rejected as old Catholic-school training that was re-surfacing. Now, for me, the big Drawing Card is that the Divine Person glows as the crux, the heart, the very beauty, of this book. Also, Rabbi Kushner, in his foreword, speaks poignantly on becoming one with God as a "Heart Person" in life. So many insightful people, from many spiritual paths have generously contributed to this book. I'm grateful for it.

Many valuable ideas and expert tips. When and when not to make a takeout double. 1995 Bridge Book of the Year.

Excellent story development. I would like to know of any other books this author has written since I like his style. Thank you

Most often some of the most influential men in politics are ignored. This book on David L. Lawrence shows how important the man was to changing the way Pittsburgh and cities did businesses. Kudos to Mr. Weber on this biography of one of the finest mayors of the 20th century.

As a homeschooling mother of six I am always looking for ways to learn as a family. This gorgeous book, based on the old Douay Bible (most reliable translation), has 52 very manageable stories that walk the family through the whole Bible. The translation is extremely accurate and easy to understand for all. What a special way to keep "holy the Sabbath!" Once a week on Sunday evenings Dad reads Bible stories to the family from God's Book. In one year (52 weeks) we will have the joy of knowing we have given our children a precious gift... treasure in heaven. We hope to repeat this every year till they leave and pass this tradition onto their own children. Honestly, the illustrations are exquisite. This will become a cherished family heirloom. I am forever grateful to the author and illustrator. May God bless them for their efforts.

I love this book, I wont let my friends touch it. It's totallyworth the dollars, it tells you about the greatest NFL players ever. For example: Steve Young, the best left-handed Quarterback ever,and Jerry Rice, the greatest all-time wide receiver ever.
