Any serious student of factorial experimental design techniques should definitely read this book. It has a level of detail and sufficient explanation to move any practionier's competence along to the next level.

This book, however, is a bit too technically oriented for the begineer.

Gertrude Cox and William Cochran were both famous statisticians who were extremely good writers. This was the book on experimental designs in 1958 with a wealth of information on randomized block, factorial and fractional factorial designs. It is still a very useful and practical reference. However it does not include the modern advance in robust designs that can be found in a text like the recent one by Wu and Hamada. Box, Hunter and Hunter "Statistics for Experimenters" is another excellent text on the classical and practical designs in engineering and agricultural experiments.

Oh, wow! A turtle shell! So cool! I can't believe it! Oh, Peter, sharks! Far out! Did WE get attacked by sharks? Of course not. (At least, I don't think we did. I was asleep and don't really remember.) We just heard a story about somebody who did a long time ago, and that was cool enough. WOW! A talking bird! (If you want to see one up close, just go to a pet shop. Don't bother getting stranded on a deserted island. It's not very safe out there.) Of course, we found Peter's mother and father. Basic Plot 101: Always end happy. Well, that's about all we can remember about this really cool mystery-- and what was the mystery again? We forgot. ~~~~written by the Boring Children--I mean, Boxcar Children~~~~ P.S. Madeline, thanks for refreshing our memories about this mystery! Oops, sorry, I keep using that word by mistake: "mystery." Anyway, now we don't have to re-read our own book. That's always a pain.

This book was a longer boxcar, and fun to read. But it got kind of boring after a while, and one day I just read two pages of it because I just thought it was so borring. But then it got good, and I finished it. At first you might think about just not reading it beacuse it's kind of boring in the first part, but after a little more reading it gets really good.

I used to read this and think it would be so fun to go to a tropical island with Lars and the Boxcar Children and live on sea biscuits.

I still find it a very good book. I'm not sure what the other reviewers mean about its being slow at the beginning - every story has to have a beginning. You can't jump into the action without a bit of setting or you fall flat. Anyway. I didn't find it slow.

I recommend it greatly, especially if you like stories of survival on remote islands.

The book name was the adventures of "Benny and Watch".
I think this book would be good for other people to read but it was a mystery story and I don't like mystery stories.

The name of My book is The adventures of Benny watch
The children's Dad died and they were scared of their Grandpa. This is a sad and happy story.

In this first book in the series, you meet Benny, Henry, Jessie and Violet, four children whose parents have died and have no where to go. They find an abandoned boxcar and call it home. The end is more surprising than you can imagine.

I like the book The Box Car Children. It was fun to read because they are kids like me that like to play on the coumputer. I also like the book because it was a mystery and I like mysteries . The Boxcar Children was an intesting story because the kids had to spy on a competing computer company that was trying to steal their ideas.

The best part of this book was when the kids went out to eat at a restaurant. They were trying to spy on the lady who worked for the other company. She had been stealing ideas from the kids' company. Once the kids found her at the restaurant, they brought the boss from their company there to see the lady. She had lied about being in a meeting.

The author did a good job describing the setting of the story. The main parts of the story took place at the QuestMaster Company. This is the company the kids got their computer from. Jerermy, the boss of this company, wanted the job to be fun. They had a basketball court outside, a pool table in their gameroom, and they were allowed to bring their pets with them to work. The Company is in an old bulding that looks like it is falling down on the outside but is really nice inside. The main conflict of this story was between two computer companies. A competitor was trying to steal the "Ringmaster II" game from the QuestMaster Company. An employee betrayed the QuestMaster Company by stealing the disk for the competitor.

When Grandfather buys Ringmaster, a CD- Rom, the Alden's have loved to play it. When Grandfather meets the owner of the company, QuestMaster, the Alden's get to test out Ringmaster 2! But soon, the computer is making real places on the screen and Andy, someone who is trying to be nice, is always where the Alden's are. There is a mysterious character named Nadje, who the Alden's think is Jane Driver, a girl who works at QuestMaster, and acts very mysterious. Then, Ned Porter, is always mysterious. Can the Alden's solve this mystery before Ringmaster 2 is sent to stores?

The biggest thing that bothered me about this book was that why a person would sew stolen jewels on a skating costume that was in plain sight of everyone. Children like the Aldens aren't smarter than grown-up dectectives. This book was really AWFUL!!

This is a great mystery. The diamonds are in the place you least expect. Two people get engaged in this book too. One of the characters is really funny. This is a good book if you like mysteries.

The story basically happens in one place,and the mystery isconfusing,with a few suspects,and until almost the end it's unclearwho is the troublemaker.It is interesting to read what the kids do all the time they are there(and nothing is close to being solved),but,as I said,not very exciting. END

Yes I did like this book. This is a great book for anyone who is interested in lake monsters. It has 107 pages and is a good mystery book. Once you start reading this book you really get into it!

When the children hear that Mr. Wood's cat, Spotzie, is missing, they immediately help out by putting up Lost Cat posters and going door-to-door with a photograph of the cat. The more they search, the more mysterious the situation becomes.

The book has its interesting and exciting parts, but the ending shows it to be a simple misunderstanding.Not the best...

Suffragettes by Gertude Colemore expresses a somewhat historialview of the fight for women's rights. In my college History of Womenclass, we read this book and I must admit that I was so disappointed with it for newarly 150 pages. I struggled with the author jumping between the characters. Once I reached the more intense parts of this book however, I was intrigued to find out what happens to all the characters. I finally made it to the end and upon discussing the book in my class, I realized that I, like many others had not even realized that one of the characters dies. Upon re-reading it, I still do not understand. I must give this book credit for transforming history into a book. Many of the characters actually stand for real historical figures with the names only slightly changed. I would recommend this book for teachers who wish to expand their students minds. However, I would not assign it to each student, have them read it in groups and discuss it along with studying the actual historical facts behind it.
