This is the thrid and final book in a often detailed and sometime glossy overview of the last decade of the Doctor - the 1980's. The book chronicles the end of Tom Baker as the 4th Doctor and the rise of Peter Davidson as the 5th and the decline and fall of the series with Colin Baker (who in my book was never given the chance or the material to really shine) and Sylvester McCoy. The books gives behind the scenes details into the stories, the people, public intrest (and sometimes disinterest), as well as ending chapters on all the merchandise (with layouts and cool pictures) produced during the 1980's. As a whole the entire collection is a must for every Doctor Who fan, on it's own, the material is solid, well written and worth the price. The only downside perhaps is that the material can get a bit thin in places, and sometimes leaving wanting to know more. But this is not very often. Pick up the 1960's first to really get the full effect.

If I could have given this book 4 and a half stars I would have done so. The only complaint that I have about this tome is that many of the court cases that I am interested in are not printed in part or entirety in this book. I will have to go to the law library to get the rest of the information that I need. This book was not in my law classes, but rather in a class for school administrators. I am writing on and very interested in the legal history of education, and this was a great find for me. Not only does it give pertinent information about all educational law, but the specific references and legal issues are there for gender and race discrimination in schools, busing, special education, etc. Any teacher, researcher, or lawyer in this field cannot just pick up a book that is only on their area such as special education, because the full information is not there nor does it make sense out of context of legal history. In order to understand the reason why Congress and courts saw the need to coin a new law (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act) rather than rely upon previous ammendments to other laws such as the Civil Rights Act and other education acts in the 1960's it is vital that the reader know the history and how those ammendments failed to guarantee educational rights for those with disabilities. This book is a vital reference that provides this information, the legal history, and it is well worth the money spent on it. Karen Sadler, Science Education, University of Pittsburgh

This book is the photographic equivalent to mythical eighties Dennis Cooper novel. Five American photographers, forerunners of their generation, each with a distinct style of his own yet sharing the same subject matters: urbanism, seperateness, violence, Aids, homosexuality, to name a few. These issues are dealt with through the use of portraits, mostly-urnban landscapes and youths. Though some shots are not as good as others, every artist here has at least 2 or 3 gems in his/her collection, and these gems make the book a must.

The first, and possibly hardest descision that a biographer must make is to choose someone new and interesting to write about. All too often the focus of a biographer's gaze falls upon well established household names such as political 'heroes' or Silver Screen 'personalities'.

Praise must go therefore to David Leigh for the subject of his biography: Howard Marks; an international drug runner, who naturally, due to the nature of his business does everything he can NOT to become a household name. Leigh follows Marks' career in the drug trade from its very beginning, in the 70s, through to its present day conclusion. Writing with a clarity of prose and an intensity of purpose that creates a breath-taking pace and begs not to be put down. Leaving questions of morality up to the individual reader Leigh shows Marks as human, intelligent, fallable, but most of all likeable. A man with whom you could comfortably have a drink.

Leigh didn't have to work hard to make a story out of his chosen subject material: it is a compelling story by its self. But he did need to steer his research and keep it capped. (He has to cover nearly 30 years worth of material, with each drug run having fascinating complications and intricate requirements) And for this too, congratulations are due. He handles the subject well, informing the reader without preaching; the end result being a thoroughly good biography.

Inca Town is a beautifully illustrated book - and not just for kids either, although it is a great teaching tool for children. Although all of the drawings are wonderful, the most impressive are the cutaways of Inca homes and temples depicting what probably went on inside these buildings. I'm less impressed with some of the "history" but, hey, you can't always have everything. The book is worth the price for sure! - Tiki

This book comprises a fast and efficient retrieval system of facts, epidemiology, diagnoses, treatment, and lab assessment for a broad range of infectious diseases and paristology. The organization of the chapters and the conciseness of the subject material is outstanding. It proves to be a handy quick reference book small enough to carry all the time.

This book, in my humble opinion, is perhaps the best guide out there for anyone who wishes (or needs) to learn more about DOS version 6.2 (and 6.22). Although not geared towards the first-time user, the book nonetheless does not swamp the reader with much technical jargon, as do many others of this type. Well done!!

I found International Development clearly written and informative. The vocabulary used is not highly technical making the book easy to understand, even for those with only an elementary background in development.

International Development introduces the reader to the different facets of development, including both the theoretical and the practical aspects, but treats no subject in great depth. Therefore, because the book is only an introduction to the topic of development, further reading must be done for a through understanding of the topic.

The text addresses the political as well as cultural, social and economic aspects of the development process. The majority of the information is explained with no evident bias, though the political preference of the authors is made clear as they advocate democratic, capitalist methods of development and condemn Communist practices in some sections.
