This book brought out many feelings. It went from my days in the hood to my friends who'd been using drugs and those who'd been physically or sexually abused. Like all of the books I've read by Lee Charles. The all dialogue/play-like concept held my attention and just like the other books it showed me ways to talk about many personal subjects that are sometimes hard to discuss.

I loved it! It was enjoyable, educational and easy to get hooked! I liked the characters, the story, the mystery - and the dogs! If you like Susan Conant's series, I think you'll enjoy this book too. This had better be the first in a series or I will be mightily disappointed!

Nice pacing, memorable characters. Kelley creates a real world of mystery, excitement, and humor. That's good and clever writing defined. Introducing the world of dogs and dog training refreshes the mystery novel in an absorbing way. Kelley knows writing and Kelley knows dogs. He's brought the two together here very successfully.

This is a great book. It is not only fast and funny and suspenseful, I also found the romantic interplay between Jack (the dog trainer/detective) and his girlfriend Jamie (the smart and sexy medical examiner) extremely appealing. The mystery is brilliantly written, plus Jack is full of interesting and useful information about dogs.
I can't wait for the next one to come out!

Dr. Crenshaw was one a several doctors who were the first to examine JFK's wounds, just minutes after the shooting. This fact alone makes him a credible and trust worthy writer. Written by a very educated man who witnessed it first hand, this is a good book that anyone interested in knowing the facts about the JFK assassination should read.

Charles A. Crenshaw's book was a great read. We owe a debt of gratitude to those who were first hand witnesses with the courage to come forward and tell us what they know, despite the establishment's work to discredit them. How the American Medical Association's JAMA tried to discredit his book in 1992 was amazing. To think that this association of medical doctors would pull such a dirty trick, and tell such lies against a brave doctor is staggering. In the book Assassination Science one can read what happened then in 1992. It's obvious the conspiracy is still out there trying to lie to the American people. Thank you Dr. Crenshaw for your great book!

So many JFK Assassination books are written by individuals who were not in Dallas on 11/22/63. Dr. Crenshaw was, and attended to the wounds of both JFK and Lee Harvey Oswald.

His recount of the moving of the President's body and the scene in the operating room are chilling. Worth the read!

This is an incredibily thorough, detailed book about the life of CB Irwin. Anna Lee Waldo has done an incredible job researching the subject. The book gives a wonderful insight into what life was like for farmers and ranchers in Kansas, Colorado and Wyoming during 1870-1930. As this is a true story, it is often lacking the exciting plot twists that you would have in a novel.

I was consumed by this book. I even read during my lunch hour all the while wondering what would happen next. This is undoubtedly the best book I've ever read. Anna Lee Waldo did a fabulous job of taking a real to life character and telling his life story in a fashion that strongly held my interest from beginning to end. I fully intend to read Waldo's other books.

I was very impressed with this book. I live in Colorado Springs and was amazed at how historical this book is. I have been to the graves of some of the charactors in the book and feel as if I know them.

This is a very well written book: straight to the point, with lots of interesting facts. This book also has pictures of Bruce & Brandon Lee (& others) that I had never seen before. A great book for fans of Bruce & Brandon Lee.

I am a big fan of Brandon and Bruce and this man could not have written it better .of two stars who have not jet become who they truly wanted to be. Rest in Peace Bruce and Brandon!

I was hoping for basically a biography of Lee's war time exploits but this book goes a lot further. The author does devote a good portion of the book to Lee's Revolutionary War time but also to his life after the war. Much research and commentary goes into this period of Lee's life to include his flawed business practices, which ultimately lead to his imprisonment for not being able to pay his debts. Overall a good biography of the father of Robert E. Lee but it is slow in some areas. RECOMMENDED.

Charles Royster is one of the premier historians on the period of the American Revolution. He has done excellent work on the Continental Army and he knows his business.

This volume is no different. Lee is one of the celebrated personalities of the Revolution, especially for his excellent service in the southern theater under Nathaniel Greene. Commanding a green-uniformed legion of infantry and cavalry, he performed superbly with the main army and working happily with Francis Marion and his partisans harrying the British and Tories in the South Carolina back country.

The first part of the book covers this portion of Lee's life. To me it was the most interesting, the Revolution in general and the Continental Army in particular being two of my favorite subjects. however, the rest of the book covers Lee's later life, which steadily went downhill after the Revolution's ending, with bouts of debt, sickness, failure, and an early death. Lee, the father of Robert E., is an interesting, sad figure, egotistical, patriotic, more than competent, and somewhat politically naive.

Royster presents Lee as a whole person, and deftly intertwines his tale with Revolutionary exploits, first hand accounts, family and financial problems, and brings the legend into line with the man's humanity, frailties, and strengths.

This book is a must for all interested in the Revolution and one of the most fascinating personalities to grace the American stage in the 18th century.

Lee's work is well written and, in some cases, provides the only description of the legion of battles and skirmishes that characterized the Southern Campaign. The reader needs to keep in mind that Lee wrote in the 18th century tradition of exagerating one's own triumphs and glossing over any shortcomings. Lee likewise writes in a seemingly authoritative manner about events where he wasn't present. For example his condemnation of the NC militia at the battle of Guilford CH has influenced most subsequent accounts although Lee wasn't aware that their orders allowed them to leave the field after delivering up two rounds. In contrast he fails to mention the flight of the Virginia militia in the right wing. Given these faults, Lee's work is still the best of it's kind. Any Rev War library should have a copy.

Anyone with a sobriquet of "Lighthorse Harry" sets up some expectations with his memoirs, but this book delivers on them. Not only does the book take you into the thick of battle in the Revolutionary War's "Southern Campaign", it also takes you to deliberations about how the Colonists reacted to British Rule and what kind of government America should have and how it should solve practical issues of the day. Henry Lee was there for all of it as one of the "Lees of Virginia". This book has a zest and pacing that gently draws the reader in for the next installment.

This is the only one book I know, you can really learn by your self Tai Chi step by step, I've been exersicing it by 30 years.
When I begun, in Chile, my country the Tai Chi was unknown. This book made it possible for me to catch the Tai Chi.

Mr. Lee's introduction to the underlying philosophy and practice of Tai Chi help provide a very good foundation for the beginner and advanced student alike. This foundation should be applicable regardless of the style of Tai Chi you seek to learn. I've seen such an introduction in only one other text, Wen Shan Huang's _Fundamental's of Tai Chi Ch'uan_. Although I did not use this book to learn the Long Yang form, my teacher, fellow students and I have used it as a study guide in learning the Tai Chi Sword, Tai Chi Broadsword (knife), and the Two person "Eight-Eight". We have other texts, and use this as a good comparison text. Also, though we do not use ranking in our school, Mr. Lee reviews a workable ranking system for the schools that prefer such classification.

The 1st of 2 books by Charles M. Sevilla (with others on this book) that takes a humorous look at life in the courtroom. I'm sure that a lot of you have gotten the e-mail with excerpts from this book (which is what prompted me to buy the book and the 2nd "Disorder in the Court"). With quotes like "Then I object to the District Attorney objecting to my objecting to standard legal objections" (p. 60) there is something in this book to tickle everyone's funny bone. Anyone in or around the legal professions should find this book amusing. Amusing illustrations illuminate some of the quotes. I found some quote more amusing that others, but over all got a good chuckle out of the book. Over all this is a good book. It would be great for the beach - pick it up, put it down and pick it up again, no worrying about loosing your place in the story.

This is the kind of book that is hard to put down once you've started reading it. Except to say that it was given to me by a lawyer and every lawyer, paralegal, and secretary that I've shared it with has loved it, there's nothing more to say. If you find courtroom proceedings (trial and otherwise) interesting, GET THIS BOOK.

Another book that covers the misquotes of the legal system? Maybe but the funny stories that you will read make it a real pleasure to review this book. This 170 plus page book of stories and illustration are actual excerpts from cases and I am glad to have read this book.

Covered in the book is testimony from expert witnesses, the jury selection process, cross-examinations, opening and closing arguments and the sentencing phase. Each section is so enjoyable and so funny, I found myself laughing for hours.

Poking fun at the legal profession is getting to be too easy and this book proves it. The stories are great and coupled with the fantastic illustrations you have an unbeatable combination. A real collectors item for those in and out of the legal field.

The verdict is in and it's unanimous, guilty of laughter in the first degree. Well done and congratulations on a fine and hilarious book!

As a cardiologist who sees internal medicine patients on call, the Wash U manual is a great help. It provides succinct summaries that greatly assist decision-making in the small hours of the morning, or when accessing a more comprehensive reference is not available. It is ideal for the subspecialist dealing with patients outside his area of limited expertise.

There is no other book in it's class. I have been a physician for over 30 years and found no other book as useful as this book in the care of seriously ill patients. I have always possessed the most recent version of the manual since I was a medical student and had it at arms length throughout my professional career. It has never failed me. With this book you can be assured that you are practicing the most up to date and effective medicine of the day. It is the only worthwhile "peripheral brain" to have.

Althought the Washington Manual has faced some competition from other handbooks of internal medicine over the past years (see author Ferri), no manual has provided an alternative that comes close to matching the combination of breadth and succinctness found in this text. My advice to students and housestaff is this: Do not be tempted to buy an alternative manual merely because it fits more comfortably into the pocket of your lab coat. During late on-call nights on the medical wards, when the decision is up to you, you will either be glad you chose Washington or sorry you didn't. Thorough, succint, up to date, and time tested, The Washington Manual is the only choice.
