I thought Kull was a great book it had some romance , fighting and it had the best tales. that was probly the best book i have ever read but to be honest i gave 4 stars because it could of had more fighting.

A very comprehensive treatise .... most primary care essentials covered in one compact volume. Could add more ethics, may be.

Published in 1997, this volume is a result of a conference held in September of 1996. It is a collection of over 30 journal articles and poster papers. Because it is aimed at doctors, people comfortable reading medical journal articles will find its coverage of NP-SLE interesting; it's probably a bit on the technical side for most non-MD readers. Any doctor (primary care or specialist) that treats patients with lupus should read this book if they're not already familiar with it's contents. At least that's the opinion of this reviewer, who became acutely aware of the disturbing level of ignorance of NP-SLE among even well-regarded rheumatologists.

while reading it you can plan what to read later, which subjects to think, desiding update movements, etc.

While I've read a lot of contemporary poetry and even written some, none delights the heart in the way that a good rhyme does. Editor Ronald G. Ribble apparently agrees. He's gathered in this tiny book of poetry a surprisingly good assortment of rhymes, including a joyful snippet from Robert Goulet and a reprint of a thoughtful, thoughtprovoking poem from Charles Osgood called "Pretty Good." Contributions come from all over the U.S., Canada, England and Ireland. While there are all types of verse, including serious and somber, I enjoyed the playful ones. My personal favorites include the witty, bittersweet "Obituary" by Joyce La Mers about revenge cheated. "The Faces of . . ." by Don Miguel might be retitled "Aging sans Viagra." I'm not sure if "The Editor's Dilemma" below Don Miguel's poem is part of Miguel's submission, or truly from the editor, but it pretty much sums up my reading of other contemporary poetry when it says, "Your poem was metaphoric, meteoric, divine--yes, truly heaven sent. The only thing that I have left to do is figure out just what the hell it meant." "Troubadour" restores my faith in poetry with a sparkling and amusing collection of rhymes. Hopefully it will be annual, as promised.

Ann and Mr. Loomis are the only two characters in the book. They both live in a valley and are the only two people alive on the planet (that they know of) because of a nuclear war, causing radioactivity. Ann is a smart, hard working, and very dedicated 16 year old girl. Mr. Loomis is a smart chemist from Cornell College in New York, who has beat the radioactivity and got to the valley by wearing a "safe suit".He is also very sly. At first they both work together in the valley and hope to keep it alive and prosper, until Mr. Loomis changes his mind. A good part of this book is when Mr. Loomis is very sick and Ann is taking care of him. Because of his fever, he has nightmares and thinks they are real. He talks out loud and gives Ann alot of information about himself and his past. At one point he hallucinates and sees a person from his past. When he goes to shoot at him, he actually shoots through a window. I recommend this book to anyone because it is very interesting and keeps you wondering what is going to happen next. Even if you are not a big science fiction fan (like me), it is still very good and is hard to put down!

I have read most of the negative reviews on this book and I think that the most popular comment was "unrealistic". I have studied human nature in school so I knew that this situation is possible. This book was supposed to be disturbing! It is supposed to make you realize how cruel human nature could be. Shakespeare said that "security is morals greatest enemy" so if you don't like to know what the world is really like than don't read these kind of books! This book may also require some maturity so don't read it if you can't handle it. Anyway, here is my review... This is a story about human nature. It takes place after a nuclear war that has left Ann Burden alone in her safe valley. She thinks she is the last person on earth until a man arrives. Several things happen which dramatically change the relationship between Ann and the stranger. This book seems to be showing the harsh side of human nature, but I think it is very realistic. I though about what I would do in the same situation and I can't honestly say that I would have made a better, more humane, decisions. I'm not sure that this is the best book in the genre, but is worth reading to help you understand life better and make better decisions later on. Read this book for a different perspective on life. Thanx 4 reading this!

Z for Zachariah Z for Zachariah is written by Robert C.O'Brien. This is an excellent book for reading. The beginning of the book was very interesting but in the end I don't have expect that Ann going to left Mr. Loomis alone in the valley. They separate in the end but they suppose to be stay together. I don't like Ann when she killed her dog. But still I like this book because they told you every thing that happened in the valley. For example, they told you what they eat for their dinner and what they did all day. I think this was necessary to tell all this because they were in that kind of situation that we need to describe that entire scene. I really like the diary format. It is really difficult to write a diary. The way he described the story that was an excellent. He told us that John Loomis was sick and Ann helped him from his fever. She helped him every minute but Loomis had broken her all believe. They had a brilliant dog like Faro. I don't like the part when we can't find out what's going to happen to Ann after she left the valley because has no one talk or see. Because as they described in the book that their no one left in the world alive. I think teenagers and adults should read this book. Teenagers should read this book because they would get ready to fight with the problems. I think they should brave and intelligent like Ann Burden. This book would be good for book report. This is not like other books but it has his own kind of story that every one likes to read this book.

A little too in-depth for the casual tourist - and we really like old homes and gardens ! Probably great for architecture or Charleston history buffs. Also, most (95%) of the houses listed are private and not open to the public.

This is a must-have book if you have a love affair with the city of Charleston SC. I lived there for 4.5 years, and I still carry this book with me on trips there.

One of the best features about this book is its layout -- it divides the city into the various historic districts and/or sections, and gives you ten walking tours to take. If you'd like a shorter tour, I suggest the French Quarter or Mazyck-Wraggborough; for a good LONG walk, try the Harleston Village trek. It also gives you points where the city trolleys can pick up passengers.

If you're planning to visit Charleston, then get this book! It will make your stay even more enjoyable!

This book is WAY too much for beginning undergraduates. There are relatively few field/rock photographs and tons and tons of complex drawings of complex geometry of complex concepts. For a beginning American student, this book would surely make them turn-tail and flee as far away from structural geology as possible! Perhaps things are different in Mexico City.

This is one of the best books in structural geology I ever read. It covers both the brittle and ductile fields, and also includes special chapters on microstructures and rheology that are not too detailed in similar books. Nice draws and pictures, together with important bibliographic references, help the reader to understand the explanations. One thing I found very useful are the Boxes, paragraphs inside the normal chapters, where the authors treat the mathematics applied to structural geology, that is somewhat hard to understand in other books. Only negative aspect I found: there is not a paperback version available. I found the book very useful as student, during the structural geology course I've taken in both undergraduate and graduate level, but also as quick reference manual for reserach.

There is an error on top of page 43 -- no such mountain as Mt. Cook in Alaska. Picture does somewhat resemble Augustine Island in Lower Cook Inlet however. The picture was credited to Galen Rowell/Mountain Light.

The pictures are beautiful. I've had fun trying to find famous landmarks that appear so different when looking down at them. There are many pictures of Manhattan and the World Trade Center buildings that are, at the same time, painful and nostalgic to see. I'm really enjoying the book.

Written in 1942 the story takes place in the "lost land" of Austrailia where overhead airplane flights are mysteriously pulled down by unknown forces. No one can penetrate the desert or the mountain pass that lead into the land. Heroin Ann Hunter is in search of her lost brother, with her is a man named Richard Varsey who is looking for diamonds and a German by the name of Hofer. Hofer wants the mysterious technology that believes is there so he can take over the world. "Is, is he a commie?" Ann asks at one point. The response was "Worse than that. He's an anarchist!"

There in the "lost land", all three meet Jongor, who proceeds to save them continuously. Jongor was born there, a product of parents who were in one of those overhead flights that crashed. Parents died, poor Jongor never finds his way out.

In general, you have dinosaurs, flying reptiles, ape men, mysterious technology, adventure and a happy ending.

A Tarzan and Allan Quatermain imitation but much less laborious than Burroughs, much less thoughtful than Haggard. I recommend this as it is an entertaining and easy read.
