The book title tells it all: Ellie Janssen, the author, tells the story of how former husband David became successful as TV's Dr. Kimble during the 1960s. She highlights the factors contributing to the downfall of their marriage, particularly David's drinking and extramarital affairs. If you are a David Janssen or Fugitive fan, this book lends an interesting perspective, along with several rare photos. However, it is understandably subjective, as Ms. Janssen struggles to explain the tumultuous nature of her relationship with David. The book raises some suspicion as to the circumstances surrounding David's untimely death in 1980.

I have been waiting along time for this book and i really enjoyed it....I feel that Ellie and David made a lovely couple and it really touched my heart to read all the ups and downs that they went thur during their marriage. I hope that Ellie finds some peace in her life..........Sincerely, a true fan....Roxiann D. Hill, Indpls, IN

All 120 episodes of the tv series "The Fugitive" out shine the movie version, although Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones were excellent. This book proves to be an insightful and significant look into the life of David Janssen. He died too young. I would like to hear more about how he REALLY died.

This book presents a lot of applications for PCR.
It's interesting to read, but sometimes unclear, and it lacks detailed protocols (the one given in each chapter isn't very useful, in general).
The three first chapters are useless, but the rest of the book is still valuable.
Why not buy it, if you already have all the PCR-litterature.

I would like to say that this is a great book on the technology of PCR. It provides the principles, applications, modifications and innovations of this technology and is really helpful in any molecular biology lab. (you can bet it offers a lot more than the conventional stuff in the red book, blue book, current protocols and whatsoever) and as a matter of fact, i have the former books of the series such as PCR protocols and PCR strategies, yet i think the book is much worth the money. it is comprehensive and easy to read--you do not have to read it through of course, but it is always a nice help when you hit some problems--so it would be really nice to have a copy of this book in a lab which does PCR often. besides, this book has much new applications of this method, which are currently very hot in the field of biology--like genomics and microarrays. i would like to recommend this book to the colleagues.

I had the fortune to attend the course in Linear Robust Control with Dr. Green at Cornell University and used the book as a text. This book is perfect if you have a good understanding of linear algebra as well as optimal control theory. Some of the proposed problems are (I remember the headaches) of high dificulty but having the book along with some good papers written by the autors, makes them much easier. Because of the dificulty of the subject, I read several other books and none was better that this so if you really want to learn Linear Robust Control and care about mathematic rigurousity, this is the book for you. It is best suited as a companion for a course in robust control since the book is not easy at all.

Although this book describes a very old version of Pegasus Mail software (good e-mail client for huge institutional networks), it is written well enough to be useful for today's E-mail newbies, describing the concepts of Internet E-mail. It also must be said that Pegasus development is slow enough, thus this book will be actual for most recent version of Pegasus (except a promised version 4.x which did not came out yet [14-Oct-200]). The authors of the book worked in close cooperation with the author of the software, and his view on the things, as well as a very interesting history of program development can be found in this book also. You will be an expert in Pegasus Mail after reading this book.

A book that had to be written. This book is a good and basic guide for people working or interested in environmental enrichment. Several aspects are covered by the book, from theoretical bases to the implications to use enrichment for the conservation and welfare of wild animals. However, although it gives a lots of examples on mammals and some on reptiles, it forgets birds.

This book covers theories of finite element better than most other books in this subject, but it does not have many worked out examples. The problems have no answers!

This book gives a very good explanation in finite element especially for engineer. Its mathematics is simple and to the point. A very good book for the starter in finite element. But the solution is separate from this book, it is in CD and it is difficult to get the CD. If this book can contain both in one book, it will be great.

I think this is one of the best books on FE. It is written from the point of view of an engineer and avoids unnecessary mathematics. The concepts are explained very clearly and there is a fair number of solved examples in each chapter.

I originally meant to buy Exam Cram not Exam Prep. When using Exam Prep I thought it did not prepare me for the tests. I have used one of the Exam Cram books for TCP/IP and thought it prepared me quite well. If your looking to take your MCSE test buy EXAM CRAM not Exam Prep.

I've been teaching the MCSE courses and on of my students brought the Exam Crams and Exam Prep books in the class, asked me to read and rate them. After reading through these books, I found these books are just excellent. They are full of technical stuffs, written in real English, and in a readable manner. I have even "talked" to one of the authors of the book as well (and his name is Ed). Ed was expert in the field and he was very fun to" talk" to. I definitely would recommend the books to all my students, friends.

I bought this book years ago on a whim. What a mistake! It is without a doubt one of the worst books on stones I have ever read.

One of the more amusing things it says is that black tourmaline is useless other than perhaps for helping potted plants grow. Aquamarine is good for getting your energy up and amethyst as well.

I have worked with stones in a metaphysical way for over 20 years and laughed my way through most of this book once I got over the fact that I had actually spent money on it!

Said to be channelled by a group from the Pleiades, I truly think that the writer needed to change the channel.

This is a little gemstone dictionary that gives properties of stones based on the Michael Teaching. It is specific to the Michael Teaching, and based on that, pretty fun to use. If you aren't a "Michael Student" then many of the definitions won't make sense.

It doesn't list all the available gemstones, but gets to most of them. An update would be nice.

To assume that the same medicine will work on everything that can be labeled as 'human' is a mistake in all areas. We all have so many different energetic configurations that I feel what works for some does not for others.

I had tried other rock and mineral books by Scott Cunningham and others and found that the usages offered simply did not work for me. Does this mean I should laugh my way through a Scott Cunningham book? Only if I'm shortsighted about the diverse energetic nuances of the human race. Cunningham's writings have sold so widely they must be useful to many, if not to me.

I feel the same thing applies to Michael's Gemstone Dictionary. I have had so much intense, noteworthy energetic success using lapidary specimens according to the suggestions in this book.

The book is well organized, well written, and covers most rocks I've ever wanted to investigate. An updated version including the few rocks it didn't cover would be icing on the cake. I do find that the physical descriptions offered don't always cover ALL the various forms of a specimen. Which is almost no big deal, since the book shouldn't be used to identify unknown specimens anyway.

I have found that certain listings are of no use, such as:

Ammonite: (Fossilized Shells). Same in effect as shell.
(so we go to "shell")

Shell: Similar in effect to Bone and Ivory. See types by name such as Mother of Pearl, Cameo Shell, or Clam Shell.

Although certain entries like Ammonite may as well have been left out, the book is pretty extensive and sensitive nevertheless with properties for so many rocks.

Shattuckite: (Blue in color). a). Puts one in touch with the different facets of one's higher self. These facets include the ability to be in accord with nature and animals, to appreciate the finer aspects of power, prosperity, and relationships with one's fellow man, as well as the experience of higher truth, transcendent love and wisdom. b). In the Michael system, puts one in touch with different degrees of essence: from the least, to the most developed aspects of one's essence.

Tourmaline, Green to Dark Green: a). Produces a greater ability to communicate in everyone. One can be quite eloquently charismatic. Emphasizes the clear communication of information, wisdom, and truth. b). In the Michael system, balances Sages.

Diamond, Herkimer: For vivid dreaming and astral clarity. Use with Rhodocrosite to remember dreams better.

Howlite: a). Brings new ideas into clear focus. Pulls one into artistic creation and inspiration. Helps one bring new things into one's life in a creative way. b). Balances and heals the sixth chakra. Especially good for one that has been overworked. c). In the Michael system, Balances the Higher-Intellectual Center. Artisans particularly enjoy using this stone.


The book breaks down rock usages beautifully:

1). starting with suggestions for balancing individual chakras, then

2).moving on to suggestions for various categorized wants and needs that seem to broadly cover any aspects of human existence that one can think of (both physical and subtle). Covers illness, emotions, creativity, abundance, acutely particular spiritual issues, the list is quite large.

3).The book moves on to suggestions according to Michael personality/body type specifications, and I had no trouble understanding and utilizing the information even though I'm not exactly a student of the "Michael System". Whether or not the "Michael Teaching" info in this book is easily understood simply depends on the type of comprehension a reader posesses as their own unique personal trait. Even though this section is easily understood and useful to me, this part could be completely ignored and I would never run out of desired info due to the extensive nature of the rest of the book.

4). Next part is an alphabetized listing of (probably) every rock specimen listed in the book with a description of properties. Handy, Handy quick reference.

5). Nice index in the back lists every page a rock is listed, but does not offer page information for issue subjects such as "addictions and bad habits". That type of info is available in the 8-page table of contents.

Since no large body of channeled information can be broadly applied to every single person, I would recommend borrowing a copy from the library and trying it out for a bit to discern if it is a handy book for your particular energy type.

Namaste.

I ordered this book because as an emerging graphic desginer, I wanted to know how to set my documents up for print in programs like Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and of course Quark. Although this book is very detailed about the history of printing and how printing works, as well as job estimates for printing, it seems really outdated as far as using your computer for prepress and helping a designer work with a local printer. And the clencher is, it is basically a school textbook. That is what it looks and reads like, unfortunately. However, if you are an artist in any way and are studying art and printing processes and all the different kinds, you might find it somewhat helpful. For those of you creating a brochure in Quark and need information on color processing, stacking, and how to approach your printer to get the job done? This is not the book. Try "Pocketguide to Digital Printing".

This book takes the reader through the right steps to acheive satisfactory results on a press. The knowledge contained in this book will separate the reader from the growing population of half-baked desktop publishers who cause grief to printers, service bureaus, advertising agencies and the like. It can also save the self-publisher hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars caused by bad design and or process.

"Do me and the printing industry a favor, read it!"

I have passed 5 of the 6 required tests for my MCSE, all of them on the first try, by only reading the Exam Cram series.

I have passed all 4 cores, and I passed this test, Proxy Server 2, today. Out of all of the tests, this one was the most difficult.

I read the Exam Cram book, and the entire online documentation for Proxy Server 2. I found only 1 noticable conflict between the two, whether or not IPX/SPX is supported by the Web Service. I believe it is, but the only way to know for sure is to test it. The Microsoft documentation mentioned that IPX/SPX is not supported (there's no gateway) through SOCKS, but it is through WinSocks; no mention of Web Service. The Exam Cram specifically says that IPX/SPX is only supported through WinSocks, and an 'exam cram' I found online, specifically states that IPX/SPX is supported by Web Services and WinSocks Services.

In conclussion, Proxy Server 2.0 by Exam Cram was the most clear documentation I have read on Proxy Server 2.0.END

The lack of talent and ability among the test takers should not reflect poorly on this book. This Exam Cram, like every other one I have used, worked fabulously. Some people have made the effort to vilify this book for their inability to pass the test. Ultimately I can only assume that these are the people who have lowered the MCSE certification to something less than entry level by flooding the market with MCSEs that require assistance in putting their pants on and assume they deserve six figure salaries.

I had no intention of reviewing this book, since I passed my Proxy test back in the summer of '98, but after reading these absurd reviews I felt compelled to defend the book. Some people have made the effort to defend the book by stating that IIS is something that should be taken/mastered first. What a crock. I've never taken an IIS test and I never will. I couldn't possibly care less about being a web master, or web server baby sitter. I'm a network engineer, and using a proxy server to manage traffic flows is part of what I do. If you don't understand TCP/IP, don't bother. If you are naïve enough to assume that the world begins and ends with Microsoft Windows NT, don't bother. Take another elective.

I took the Proxy test to complete my MCSE because I thought it would be an extremely easy test, and all I would need to pass is the Exam Cram and Exam Prep books, with about a week of study time, and boy was I right. I had used MS Proxy 1.0 at a previous job, but had never touched Proxy 2, and wouldn't any time soon. With no experience with the software (which is to say that I never saw MS Proxy 2.0, ever.) and no practice test software to fall back on I used nothing but the Exam Cram and Exam Prep books and walked in and blew away the test. This is one of the BEST Exam Cram books I've ever used, and to be frank it wasn't a big deal since the MS Proxy Server 2.0 test is far and away the easiest certification test I've ever taken, to include the Citrix CCA exams and the CompTIA Network+. If you used this book and didn't pass the test, odds are that the book wasn't the problem and you should consider a new career field in the housekeeping or fast food preparation industries.

Exam Cram rocked, as usual.

This is the best Exam Cram books I have ever read. It contains all the information you need to pass the test, and it contains very few errors. I read this book over the course of a week, combined with some hands on at work, and passed the Proxy test with a very high score.
