A fantastic story with the traditional good vs evil saga. Dartin(hero) in transformed into a dragonfly and must battle Bulog(villain bullfrog)to prevent him from destroying the insect town of Hopsville; also saving the beautiful Mayling(mayfly).

I would recommend the much more evenhanded account by John Larson in the Pulitzer Prize-winning "Summer for the Gods." Morris, as ever, twists the facts around to make his case, but it doesn't hold together.

In the beginning chapter, it does an fine job describing the Scopes Trial and provides good facts and accounts of what happened.

The second chapter also isn't bad, but pertains to post-trial occurrences (Brady, mainly).

After the second chapter, the book just slips into a void. It starts discussing 'evolutionary finds' that were present at the time of the Scopes trial. It discounts each of these finds, and although the information was interesting to read, it was off-subject and highly critical of evolutionists. The last chapter, very short, was just a few pages packed with biblical phrases which let the authors' disposition towards creationism shine through.

Overall, it is not horribly bad or horribly good. The portion of The Great Trials: The Watershed Decasde in America's Courtrooms and the book Summer For The Gods were both very good accounts of the trial (Summer... was more in-depth [expected since that was the book's only topic :P)

This informative book is on the landmark court case in July 1925 that pitted the evolutionist/materialist worldview against Christianity/creationists worldview. This trial is often referenced and spoken of by evolutionists. This trial has been skewed into evolutionist propaganda and dogma... This book presents the untainted story of what really happened and the relevance of it all without the evolutionist distortions. The significance of this trial is obvious, as it so the tone for the future of American education, which has gradually been taken over by the secular faith, humanism. The Supreme Court has ruled humanism to be a religion, yet despite this fact humanism is the de facto worldview in public education. Is this what the founders meant by not establishing a state religion/denomination in the First Amendment? Hmmmm... Presently, the humanist perspective transcends ever discipline taught in the schools, and it maintains a strong grasp of nearly every subject, whether its history, science, sociology or yes even theology. Lets solve this so called church-and-state conflict with a separation of education-and-state. It is clear education amounts to instruction (or indoctrination in the case of humanism which tolerates no dissent) slanted towards one worldview.

I was reluctant to pick up this book because of it's title, but I decided to read it because I had it in my collection. I was somewhat entertained, and finished the book very quickly due to the short length. It is a tragedy in which almost all are killed in the end. I did not care much for the plot, which involves an incestuous relationship between brother and sister. After reading part of the book, it was rather easy to predict the ending. It is not a tremendously detailed and emotional story. I'm not sure if this is a title that would often come up in conversations between friends or colleagues, but avid readers might want to pick up the title to have read it.

This play is an excellent example of incest in the Renaissance. It's also fairly short and very readable. Bergetto is an interesting character and provides much needed comic relief in this play which is ultimately quite tragic. The title is misleading in many ways, but female sexuality is problematic throughout.

I chose to read this play because firstly, Anthony Burgess mentioned it in his book "English Literature" (1857) and secondly, because it was a short play. Or maybe even thirdly - the central theme [incest] it deals with is treated in an entirely different manner from other literary works. The nature of the incest is frank and horrifying. The intensity of the unlawful relationship is compromised by the coarsening of Giovanni's love for Annabella; their ethereal relationship gradually loses its innocence in the course of the play, culminating in Annabella's pregnancy and finally her death in Giovanni's hands.

While we certainly cannot put Ford in the ranks of Shakespeare, he deserves credit for a play whose themes of sexual jealousy, revenge, violence and incent intertwine in a most heartrending way.

As soon as I read the back cover of this book I knew I had made a mistake. This is not about a trip to the ocean. This is about "God's wonderful creation under the sea". I was looking for a book about a trip to the ocean. When looking for and ordering this book, nowhere did it state that this is a religious book. If I had known that, I would not have bought the book. This review is to let others know and not make the same mistake.

This is great introductory material portraying different creatures to be found in the ocean. It is well done and appealing to the children. The colorful illustrations are eye-catching and match the jubilant story line. I recomend this book for ocean units through the 2nd grade.

This book had me confused by the third page- it is definetely not a book that I would recommend to anybody with no knowledge of HTML to begin with.

A third edition of a book normally indicates a well written book. Without hesitation I bought this shrink wrapped book, especially because the cover page promises ".... expanded to cover Dynamic HTMl and XML..."

However, dynamic HTML gets a one page futuristic view, while XML is treated on less than a page. DTD is indicated in the index as Data Type Definition, most other sources call it Document Type Definition. I could not find any mention of the Document Object Model.

Surely both DHTML and XML were established well enough to warrant better treatment than this with a cover page mention of the topics. I for sure will be cautious to buy future books from this publisher or authors in shrink wrap form.

This book is a dissection guide, not an anatomy textbook. I personally found it unhelpful- it is specifically structured for use in the Oxford medical school dissection classes (so fairly useless for medical students at other medical schools), and is unnecessary if you have a half-decent anatomy demonstrator/ prosector. On the other hand, it contains only very basic details, which would be unlikely to be sufficient to guide you through even the most basic anatomy exam. Use it as a sole textbook to learn anatomy at your peril.
