Bergey's Manual of Systematic Bacteriology is a four-volume set covering virtually every known species of bacterium; articles on each species and extensive articles on higher taxa describe a great deal of value to the undergraduate microbiology student or teacher, often including hard to find information about culture methods and ecological roles. The high cost and heavy format of the four large hardbound volumes make them unsuitable for use in the laboratory, however. Bergey's Manual of Determinative Bacteriology is a lower-cost, paperback companion volume containing very brief genus descriptions but extensive tables of biochemical and growth charateristics necessary for the laboratory identification of bacteria. Student labs should include these paperback volumes near every workstation; once students have identified their bacteria, a trip to a departmental library or reading room to learn more about the organism from the four-volume set is in order. Together, these volumes are indispensible for any well-equipped microbiology program.

I don't have a copy but I'm in the market for a used one. This Bible was incredibly popular before the King James and even for a hundred or two years after the KJV appeared. It was written mostly by John Calvin and has stronger language in it than King James would allow in the KJV. PC was in then too. It is the the most underrated Bible among Christians and it is the greatest. There exists no really good facimile copy or even a good recreated copy that I know of. But there may be such that has escaped me. This is my first trip to A.com and I have yet to exhaust their services in this or any other matter. I love the net and you should to. What is needed is the digitalization and availability of all the great stuff of the past. This is the market. If you want to help me bring the good stuff to the people contact me at LFC4U@hotmail.com or sharpo@earthlink.net or PatriotsVoice.Org. My phone is 703 267 6565 and my address is PO Box 2324 Vienna, VA 22183-2324 Bob

I bought a copy of this Bible to check it out and see what the famous Geneva Bible was like. I thought I'd resell it after I'd looked at it because, after all, I already owned many versions of the Bible and I didn't want to spend the money for this one. But after I got it in the mail, I began to read it. The more I read it, the more I couldn't put it down. The translation and commentary are so rich, powerful, and insightful! It deepened my understanding and gave me the Genevans' understanding of the Word of God.

The Geneva Bible is not easy to read at first because of its antiquated grammar and typeset, but I found that as I continued to read through it, the task became increasingly easier. I discovered that the Geneva Bible is fascinating as a work of both history and theology. I strongly recommend that you check it out! If you do, you'll find out what I mean about being unable to put it down!

This book was originally published as The Complete Scottish Terrier in 1967. This is a new updated version of this work. Mr. Marvin was long active in this breed in the early days in this country. This volume examines in depth the history of this breed, the major champions in both the United Kingdom and the United States. One of the highlights of this book is the section on grooming the Scottish Terrier, with excellent drawings demostrating both correct and incorrect grooming. There is an extensive listing of British and American kennels that were active in this breed up to 1980. Also covered in depth is breeding axioms, conditioning show stock, bloodlines and line breeding and the standard for the breed. There is a large amount of black and white photos of past and present Scottish Terrier champions, including Scotties who won big at Westminster-best in show. Although this book is now out of print, it is not difficult to locate and is a must for anyone interested in this breed. Both the pet Scottie owner and the Show enthusiast will learn much from this volume. The cover is green and white with a large photo of the great champion "Carmichael's Fanfare" who won BIS at Westminster. This dog was handled by John Murphy and owned by Mr. & Mrs Charles Stalter.

I found this to be a nice, comprehensive overview of the origins of the Terrier breeds in England and their introduction into North America. The author makes the subject interesting and gives plenty of information as well as references to other works and authors. The book contains old prints and photos of early types and varieties of terriers. A chapter is devoted to each individual terrier breed and has complete AKC standards at the back of the book. Very informative for the Terrier Fancier.
