When I picked up this book, I had completed one quarter of calculus at the university level (about 15 years prior), and had accumulated a bookshelf full of calculus texts and self-help books over the subsequent years, with the best of intentions of delving deeper into the subject. It never happened, though. All of the books I had obtained on the subject were either obtuse, mind-numbingly dull, or both. Then I discovered Dr. Bleau's Forgotten Calculus. At first, I was somewhat daunted by the title, because for me there was a lot of "not-taken" calculus in her book, but then I noted the blurb on the cover, the last clause of the last sentence, which read "...and can be used by adults who have never studied calculus."

This is simply the best self-help book I have ever come across. It took me about two months to complete, working through the material in my spare time. The subject matter was stimulating and clearly explained, favoring the practical over the theoretical. Best of all, it left me wanting for more -- an uncommon feat for a math book, especially one about calculus.

This is one of the better practical texts available for a cursory review of calculus. My congratulations to Barron's and Dr. Lee Bleau. I usually do not take the time to comment on books although I like to get some feedback before buying a book. I felt so good about this text that I had to recommend it for anyone who wants to review their precalculus and calculus. It has a great synopsis of functions, as is usually covered under precalculus courses. It then moves on to derivatives, differential and integral calculus. Other "quick learning"/review books have not been as "smooth" as this one. The topics are covered clearly and in good order. There are a lot of example problems, with solutions, that help reinforce the learning process. I have actually found that I enjoy reading this book. The author does a great job in covering the material.

The author explains calculus in a clear and simple way which is really helpful. I am taking a college business calculus course and the required text book is not helpful at all. I believe Forgotten Calculus will help me get through this tough class.

ME GUSTARIA SABER COMO CONSEGUIR LOS LIBROS DE METAFISICA LOS LEO DESDE PUERTO RICO Y EN CHICAGO NO ENCUENTRO SITIO DONDE LOS VENDAN O COMO PUEDO HACER PARA COMPRAR POR INTERNET

me gusto mucho lo que lei.......ahunque es la primera vez que leo acerca de Angeles...me interesa mucho el tema......porque en ocaciones que he pasado por realmente malos momentos en mi vida...he sentido la presencia de alguien muy cerca de mi..lo he sentido en mi hombro, cerca de mi oido,.......y siempre habia pensado que era Dios... pero no sabia que Dios nos a designado un Angel especial para cada persona....yo no voy a ninguna iglesia....pero siempre he sentido a Dios muy cerca de mi....y ahora se que es el Angel que el me envio para cuidarme...quisiera saber como comunicarme con el y verlo........siempre me he sentido diferente a las demas mujeres..no se si sea mi imaginacion..pero hay muchas preguntas que quisiera que alguien me contestara...si ustedes me pueden ayudar.....se los agradeceria toda mi vida.......Gracias.

Yo he leido este libro muchas veces y lo he recomendado a muchas personas. Hay tambien un otro libro de ellas que se llama El Devocionario De Su Angel De La Guarda, lo cual es tambien fantastica. Las autoras, Barbara y Trudy, contestan tantas cuestiones practicas sobre la estrecha relacion que tenemos con los angeles. A mi me gusto el libro porque me ayuda a manifestar lo que quiero en mi vida con mas facilidad. !Se lo sugiero fuertemente!

Barbara writes with such wonderful description, you can hear, feel, smell, taste and touch everything in this book, especially that dress!

I couldn't put it down - great adventure, great fun for a long weekend. Loved the messages - just what we need.

An inspired story, unpredictable, with bizarre and fantastical elements commonplace, and with both human and animal characters that we care about, told with humor and wisdom.
I really wanted to turn the page to find out what happens and in the process the underlying message of respect for nature is made very clear. It is the human characters that learn in this story. Bruno, a bear, seems to know all about love.

An animal's worldview intrigues you in this fable/fantasy. This well-written, thoughtful book invites you to join a human's quest for the city in the sky.

Universal themes abound and surprising elements hold your interest. Every "baby boomer" can relate to the characters in this book and the choices made along life's journey.

A quick read--an escape vehicle for your vacation or a steady read--easily savored and pondered, The City in the Sky appeals to everyone.

This book was great and I can't wait to read it again

As a huge fan of the Y&R from its inception, I was very entharalled and delighted with this book. It is a *MUST* read for any fan of this show. Not only does it take you down memory lane, but it refreshes the memory of many story lines.

This book told of the trials and tribulations of the characters of the past. It helped new viewers to catch up on the events of the past, while taking life long watchers on a trip down memory lane. Great Job!!

I had been wanting this cookbook for a long time but never got around to ordering it. (I know - excuses, excuses!) Normally, I like to order by mail (like Amazon), but not too ago, I walked into a major bookstore chain in Houston where they had some copies on sale. I thumbed through it and saw many enticing recipes at first glance - not just one! Like Aunt Pittypat's Pecan Poundcake - you can't go wrong with this one! Buy the book and see the surprise ingredients! Anyhow, because of a silly habit I have, I always reach down and get from the middle bottom. When I opened up the book, there in the front cover was Regis Phlbin's personal signature. It read, "Thanks & Bon Appetit - Regis Philbin." I asked the clerk about it and she said sometimes they send out signed copies. Thanks, Regis, for making my day! The wonderful and funny personalities of Regis & Kathy Lee and their guests come alive all throughout this book which makes it that much sweeter! I love the book! The garlic rice with pine nuts (yum! yum!) is worth the money all by itself! I can't wait to try more recipes. But now I have to buy another copy so I can actually turn the pages! (I'm saving this copy!) To all who buy it - bon appetit!

The book is well organized. It is lots of fun for the TRUE Regis and Kathie Lee Fans. However, even if you don't like them you'll enjoy the cook book. So check it out and enjoy a dish tonight.

My 2 year old LOVES this book!!! We "tone down" the fact that some Dinosaurs eat others, but she loves the realistic pictures, loves hearing the names, and learned to identify and pronounce all the Dinosaurs in this book the second day we had it... this book is fantastic! The ONLY drawback is that now our daughter wants more books just like this, and we've not been able to find anything else quite like it.

I was a big fan of the Eyewitness books when I was a kid, and so I decided to buy this for my Dino loving cousin. He loved it. Just like all the other Eyewitness books it was filled with big interesting pictures, and was understandable for all ages and reading levels. I recomend this to anyone searching for an informational dinosaur book to give to the little ones. Worth every cent.

This historical biography is terrific! It paints a beautiful picture, both in illustration and in words, of the life of Katharine Lee Bates. Her story is captured brilliantly in the pages of this book and I recommend it to children and adults of all ages. The illustrations are simply gorgeous and the story coincides perfectly. Be sure to look for the "hidden flag" on the first and last pages! A definite must-have for any story collection.

Purple Mountain Majesties is one of the only books I have read that delightfully combine history, information, story telling, and beautiful pictures together. And this has been done in such a way as to make this book enjoyable to read by any one of any age. Barbara Younger brings Katherine Lee Bates and here poem America the Beautiful to life for us. And sometimes we need reminders of just how beautiful America really is! Hats off to Barbara and Stacey for quite an excellent book!

A real treat to read to my kids each Christmas, as my mother read to me and my 11 siblings! A wholesome book that really emphasizes the 'giving is more important than receiving' theory. I highly recommend this to folks that celebrate Christmas!

Being sceptical about anything "divine," this book made me think about divine influences on us humans down here on Earth. I recommend this book without reservations to anyone who isn't fearful to take a look at divine possibilities.

I picked this book up for my Mom for Mother's Day after a conversation we had one night about Spirituality. I read the book myself before I sent it to Mom, just to be sure it would be something she would really have an interest in. Not only are the stories of the three women who wrote the book interesting but also reading about what they experienced individually and as a team as they were writing the book made this book a true gem and something I decided I had to have a copy of for myself. I learned a great deal about angels, spirituality and the uniqueness of each of our personal journeys in life from this book. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is looking within themselves for answers to life's questions.

I was getting ready to teach an Angel Class in St. Charles, IL. and reading anything I could get my hands on that would help. When this book literally came on the screen. I was at the Amazon Book web site and looking for a different book. This book appeared on my screen. I knew than and there that this was the book I needed in teaching people to listen to their Angels. The authors teach you that our Angels are anxiously waiting for us to ask them for divine guidance. Once you read this book you will never feel alone or unloved again. You will never feel helpless or at the mercy of events. Read this book it will change your life, it has changed mine.

Subtitled "High fashion techniqus for creating great-looking clothes" the illustrations and instructions are thorough. There are two drawbacks: a substantial amount of decorative stitching described is not available on the average serger. In fact, one of the more attractive decorative stitches in the book was for a Bernina serger that wasn't yet on the market at the time of publication. There are a lot of creative suggestions anyone can use, but you may feel "left-out" because much is geared to coverlockers that also do chainstitching and a lot of the decorative work is chainstitch-based. After reading it, I felt like I needed a new serger and the one I have is less than a year old! Second, the "Garment Gallery" is too long, my opinion. The seamstresses are rightly proud of their work, but it was more than I wanted to see. That said, if you are well acquainted with your serger's basic stitching, and want to explore its creative potential, this is a great book full of tips and ideas.

Truly excellent, I refer to it all the time for creative ideas. Just like other books on sewing, some ideas are a little cheesy for my taste. Having said that, I still think this is the best creative serging guide out there. I love the serged toggle buttons, flatlocked zipper, chain stiched details, serged French seam and the keyhole back placket serging guide. My clothes have never looked better! As for the machine, they have suggestions on how to adapt sergers with fewer stitches. I bought my machine used & factory serviced--it was a much better buy than paying the same money for a new machine with fewer options.

Serger Secrets has been one of the best books on this issue that I have ever read. I loved the full color illistrations on the different stitches the serger can do. It helps the mind to use it's imagination and create anything it wants. I found so many helpful ideas throughout the book . It was just one great book.
