Yo this is hella tight
This book is bangin'. Yo, my girl and I was on tha outs- you know? My uncle Jimmy was like "Stupid, why don't you make her a web thing that says 'Girl, you know you're hella fly. Come back baby.'" So i was all "Hell yeah." He gave some book, and I made this page that was like tiiiiiiight. She pretty much melted and I was all "Ahhh yeah girl, who's hella dope." And she was all "Yous is Leroy." And I was all like "Hell Yeah."

This is a handy book to have
I've never done much with webpages until recently and this book has come in handy. Even if you dont like or use frontpage it covers lots of handy things like how to get search engines to find you and to make a user friendly and consistant webpage. Whats nice is that this book explains all the stuff about making a webpage like tables, forms, image positioning, and all the little things that make good pages that are a pain to work with unless you learn how to use a program like frontpage.

The only drawback is that sometimes the author doesn't go into enough detail on some topics, but overall this book will get you going with your own website.

A comprehensive guide to building websites with FrontPage
The Effective Executive's Guide to FrontPage Web Sites starts from scratch. If you want a good reference book with a guide to building a web site within it, this will work for you. The book includes information on everything from a description of how the internet works, to choosing a domain name, to adding interactivity to your website. The only thing I would have liked more of, was more specific information on how to do different formatting by hand within my website, maybe an appendix with some of the basic html tags.

A Paradigm busting book
"The Golden Vortex is a must get book for anyone interested in mysteries of nature and science. The book centers around the Oregon Vortex where the author lived and worked for many years and who became by his observations probably one of the world's leading experts on vortex phenomena. I found much useful and eye-opening information in this book. A book which covers not only the Oregon Vortex, but also the infamous Flight 19 of the Bermuda triangle, magnet motors, dowsing and much more. All of it related to vortexes. The information that Nick has about the health benefits and problems of magnets was for me astounding. I have not seen this information anywhere else and I thought I knew a lot about health and magnets. So I highly recommend this book.

A stream in a drought of information
If after visiting the Oregon Vortex in Gold Hill, Oregon,you want to know more about this strange phenomonen, this is a good book to quench your thirst. Nick Nelson worked at the Oregon Vortex/House of Mystery for a year and has interesting anecdotes to share as well as his own personal theories about vortices in general. I drank it up in one evening and find his theories interesting and worth following up on. One chapter, the Motor in the Magnet, is particularly intriguing. The only other book about the Oregon Vortex that I know of is John Litster's, the scientist/developer of the property, who studied the area for thirty years and turned it into a tourist attraction. Unfortunately, he had all his scientific notes destroyed upon his death in 1959. The story goes that he thought the world wasn't ready for his conclusions. You might understand why after reading the last chapter in Nelson's book--it will give you goose bumps. Unfortunately, I have not found a whole lot of information, either on the internet or in libraries, about vortexes, and whether the strange affects are an illusion as some people think, or something more fascinating, this book is a good place to start putting the pieces of the puzzle into place. In contrast, Litster's thirty page booklet ("Notes and Data") that they sell at the attraction is difficult to follow and frankly, doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. I am so happy to discover that someone equally fascinated with this place is willing to speculate on the how, what and why's of it all.

Life is a process of intelligent growth
Outstanding intuition, research and writing Nick.
This book proves what the dedicated teacher of New Thought and Mental Science Thomas Troward wrote a hundred years ago: 'Every advance in science consists in discovering new subtleties of connection in this magnificent universal order which already exists and only needs our recognition to bring it into practical use'.


The Handy History Answer Book

How Cool!
This book is perfect for anyone who has a lot of questions about history! Everything is here including a break down of world history from the beginning to present day! It is fun to read and a great reference book. A college student must have (especially if you are a history major) and for anyone who is interested in history at all!

Very Informative
This book gives you all the answers about almost anything you can imagine. From Drouts in the United States to who the ForeFathers of the United States were. I am always looking for new information, and always wanting my mind to grow, so this was a great book.

In the very beginning it has a Timeline of World events which is very "Handy." It has information on wars I had never heard of, and plenty of information on Adolf Hitler, certaintly not my favorite person, but for writing a report on World War II, it was very nice to have around.

I got this for Christmas, and started reading it that night, so you go out and get this book tonight.

If you are a student, read on...
As a student, this book has been frequently helpful as a basic reference for any unusual questions I have. It is also excellent as a fun read, and I highly recommend it.


How to Adopt Internationally: A Guide to Agency-Directed and Independent Adoptions

This really is a "How To" Book!
"How To" is most appropriate for this useful guide. I discovered this book at the very beginning of our international adoption process and it has been a wonderful guidebook. It is extremely well organized and explains the process and the paperwork required. It provides a lot of information but is not a thick, wordy volume that is intimidating to read. It is a source of information complementary to what my agency provides, and has increased my confidence that things are proceeding as they should. Tips like what kind to expect in a home study and what questions to ask when that important referral call comes makes this book compare to a knowledgeable friend who has been through the process.

A hands-on manual loaded with practical information.
As the Adoptive Parents of Vietnam listowner, I recieve questions about the complex process of international adoption on a daily basis. The Erichsen's guide will be a great resource to anyone interested in international adoption. I reviewed this book in detail on our website, but here is a quick synopsis. "How to Adopt Internationally is the best guide now available to the complex and sometimes frustrating experience of the paper chase required for adopting internationally from any country. The Erichson's include a step by step guide to every requirement and procedure, starting with the U.S. required home study and INS's I-600 all the way through post placement and final adoption requirements. For every major step, they include the actual or example forms, along with suggestions for completion. For anyone involved in international adoption (or even contemplating an international adoption), this book will get you started and be a welcome resource through the process. It provides an overview of the reasons and requirements of the international adoption process that is duplicated nowhere else. If your agency is less than helpful with the paperwork requirements, this book will be worth its price many times over."

A great guide for International Adoption requirements
We just recently purchased this book from Amazon.com and it's a wonderful guide for those just beginning the adoption process or those currently involved in adopting internationally. This guide is now currently (October 98) aiding us to expedite our adoption via the comprehensive information and step by step guide to fulfilling all international requirements. A great find!

new approach
At long last someone has come up with a new slant to WWII history. It is refreshing to find that after 55 years or so has passed an author can yet teach us something new about history, which can captivate, can sometimes even excite, and definitely can entertain.

stupendous
I had no expectations when I started this novel. I had wanted to try an unknown author. WAS I SURPRISED! At every turn of the plot my attention was captured, the read was fast paced,and the descriptions made me feel as if I were there.

Fantabulous
I was stunned by the creativity and descriptiveness of the writer. His remarkable grammar and way of writing leaves you interested the whole time. He is the next J.K. Rowling by the level of interest that he provides in his book. Congratualations, you are a wiz of an author.
Sicerely,
An extremely happy reader

A New Tom Clancy
The author is a new Tom Clancy. His knowledge of the government,the navy and especially submarines is vast. I really stayed up all night to read this book. I hope he has more in the pipeline....the book is fun and informative and a great read

As current as the headlines--as suspenseful as Clancy!
This book is a fast-paced "page-turner." Every time I thought I'd take a break at the end of a chapter, I had to read the first few pages of the next chapter . . . and so on until I finished the book in two sessions. For those who love Clancy, but don't want to spend a month on a book, Blish is the author for you! Well-written, suspenseful, and with a surprising twist at the end, this book will leave you hoping Blish has another one going to print soon.

Blish Banishes Boredom!
Sucks you right in. You can see it clear as if it were on the big screen -- which it will be if Gollywood is still up for the terrorist twist now that Uncle's saved the world from WMD. Blish knows human nature and the establishment -- the good, the bad and the ugly. You could learn something here. Characters are animated in tense, clever moves with keen sensitivity and 3-D clarity as the stakes ratchet upward. Clancy with feeling.

Valuable for exploring alternative ways of knowing.
Nelson offers a thorough and engaging understanding of important ancient ways of knowing that blends the practical "how-to" with enough theory to appreciate their wisdom. It gave me a chance to step outside our usual perspectives and try out other ways of seeing myself and the world. This is a rich resource for personal change or theoretical interpretation.

Superb!
Nelson's book is a great for anyone seeking to blend ancient wisdom with current issues. It is easy to read yet full of important, well researched concepts. I highly recommend it!

Clear, Consistent,and Confident
I was given this BIble as a gift 5 years ago and I still read from it daily. ITs streghts lie in the fact that it is firmly evangelical and believes in the inspiration of Scripture. In the opening pages one will see that hundredrs of renown scholars have contributed to the articles and annotations. What I particularly liked about it was that it examined 'hard passages' in thier biblical context, offered the opposing views, and then gently espoused thier view based on solid exegesis. Also pf note are the word studies, in depth articles, and special excerpts that focus on a hot doctrine of SCriptre. Evem more amazing is the factt htat the scholars who contributed did not hammer their opinions down your throat, sometimes never voicing them at all! For example, many of the contributors came from Dallas Theological Seminary, yet you wil not find them throwing dispensationalism down your throat. However, the main editors, Dr. Earl Radmacher and others come from Western Conservative Baptist Seminary. Other institutions represented range from New Orleans Baptist to Princeton.
Bottom line:
I have over 20 refernece and study bibles and this one I will recommend over any, including Ryrie. This book changed my devotions and bible studies.

Pastor's Pick
This is the one study Bible that I have given away to young men entering the ministry. The word studies, charts, articles, and the running commentary at the bottom of every page are excellent. Cross references are consistent with the NKJ translation and are always helpful. This study Bible is not for the lazy scholar, but for serious Christians.

Excellent Bible
This bible is very informative in helping one to understand the Bible. Thanks for creating it.

Grew up Lutheran.
I enjoyed this book well enough to send a copy of it to my Father and an Aunt, who also grew up Lutheran. They enjoyed it, too.

If You Didn't . . .
. . . grow up Lutheran and in the Midwest, you may not appreciate the total humor of this book, but it's still a delightfully witty, tongue-in-cheek commentary on a by-gone era. Once started, I couldn't put it down, because it called up a flood of memories, everything from Sunday School pins to Mother-Daughter banquets to cemetary upkeep. It was MY life they were talking about. For those of you who did (grow up Lutheran in the Midwest), it a journey back into time; for those of you who didn't, it's an education about a whole bunch of us who sit quietly here in the Midwest doing what come naturally.

This is most painfully true!
This book reignited old memories of growing up in the Swedish Lutheran Church. My grandmother was a member of the legendary Martha Society and probably cooked more chicken that Perdue has ever processed. I roared with laughter over the church characters portrayed. Unfortunately they are not unique. This is a must buy!

full of humor
this book brings smiles and sometimes belly laughs as one navigates the trials of grandmotherhood. it makes a terrific gift for any age grandmother.

HAPPY READING
WHAT A DELIGHT ! COULDN'T HELP BUT TO RELATE TO HER FAMILY SITUATIONS. FOUND MYSELF LAUGHING OUT LOUD. SORRY THE BOOK WAS SO SHORT. HOPE THAT THERE IS A SEQUEL.

Entertaining and educational
Incredible! This book is the perfect gift for the first time grandmother (or for the any time grandmother), and it wouldn't hurt to give it to grandpa, as well. You know that all of the incidents that are described have to be true. They couldn't be anything else. Read it and learn. You cannot find another book that conveys the same message ...
