Clinical Periodontology thoroughly covers the cellular science involved in oral health, as well as applicable tissue functioning. The book then clearly describes the genesis, diagnosis and management of periodontal disease. As a scientist who is not a dentist, the illustrations were outstanding and led to a much better understanding of the material. Congratulations to the authors and editors for putting together a book this seamless in both its description of clinical periodontology and its focus on solving problems.

Higly recomendable for those people who enjoys Michael's music and philosophie

Michael Jackson is a legend. His music is the best, his videos are the best, all of him is the best. And, of course, his book is the best. A great biography his, and by his own words. Great.

Large-format and sturdy, lavishly illustrated and with illuminating prose, this book covers the 2001-2 Dia Arts Center show which was utterly mesmerizing. If you are unaware of Jensen, google him while waiting for this book to arrive...one of the most fascinating, and certainly most original artists ever.

This is a must reference book for every Dental professional.All the subjects are in a logical order and in a very understandable manner.The appendix part is very useful.Ýn one sentence, this book is something like flight manuel of Dentists.

BELINDA'S BOUQUET by Leslea Newman is a story of how a young girl named Belinda is teased for having gained weight. She and Daniel, both about ten years old, discover with the help of one of Daniel's mothers and a garden cared for by his other mother that people, like flowers, are different. All people have special needs which make each one quite beautiful and unique. Belinda comes to realize that her body belongs to her and that it is okay to look and be different from others. Although the focus of this story is Belinda's growing understanding of the beauty of differences (some people are short, some of us are tall, some are dark, some are light, some are fat and some are thin), other messages are communicated as well. The author has addressed sex-role stereotypes when Daniel describes some of the things they both enjoy doing, such as playing dress-up, hide-and-seek, playing catch and riding their bikes. Other messages communicated are: Daniel lives with two mothers; the importance of nutrition and growth; one's body, even those of children, are private and that it is unjust for adults to tease children because of their differences. BELINDA'S BOUQUET is one of a few books which doesn't use the parents' sexual orientation as the focus of the story. So, the fact that Daniel lives with his two mothers, that no father figure is part of the family, and most importantly, that his family structure doesn't seem to pose a problem for him, his friends, his school or the driver of the bus who tells Belinda she has gotten fatter, is a genuine plus. The beautiful house and garden which belong to Daniel and his mothers will resonate most personally to the child who either has or lives in what many children refer to as the "country house." BELINDA'S BOUQUET features color illustrations, is appropriate for children age three and older, and can assist adults who wish to discuss the various issues Newman raises in this book.

What can I say? This textbook is strikingly well-written. Really, a monumental achievement. The writing is incisive, interesting, even fascinating. For those who thought periodontics was basically scaling and root planing, an odyssey through this book's 1,000 pages shows otherwise. The illustrations are well-chosen and informative, and the quality of scholarship is consistently excellent throughout its 77 chapters. It exhausts every topic related to periodontology, from flap surgery to the microbiology of the inflammatory response, to basic s/rp therapy, to the logic of hand instrumentation, and is very up-to-date. Probably the best textbook on the subject. The accompanying CD-Rom was not too useful, mostly pretty pictures and captions, but it's the text that counts. Revelations stud the pages and the book presents a solid overal paradigm of modern periodontics.

This book does a wonderful job of introducing the Uwaiysi path of Sufism to the reader. It takes on historical and philosophical dimensions to this path of spirituality, with biographies of major saints and descriptions of symbols and traditions. A magnificent insight into the world of Sufis.

I adopted this book as support textbook for my course on information retrieval systems. The book provides a crisp and very informative view on the problems and steps related to analysis and design of interactive systems. It covers most of the core topics relevant to the analysis of interactive systems (problem definition, task analysis, models, system analysis, system evaluation) and those related with user interface design (interaction styles, mental models, conceptual design). These topics are dealt with sufficient detail to get a reasonable understanding both of abstract and concrete aspects. The few complete examples guide the reader through most of the issues. Some topic (like experimental evaluation) is very detailed. Treatment is extremely clear and vivid. I definitely recommend this book to anybody interested in design of interactive systems.

This book is a tutorial, not a reference. Beginning programmers and experienced programmers alike will find this a useful first course in Visual Basic. A local county college uses this as the course text.

Six tutorials address six case problems. Each tutorial has two sessions requiring about one hour each. An attached CD contains sample files.

The book is part of an instructional series and is very carefully designed. Each tutorial contains a number of well-integrated components. A case problem is followed by a step-by-step, illustrated instructions. The instructions are nicely set off from accompanying comments and reference materials. Each tutorial is followed by optional problems and case studies that can extend each tutorial by another hour or two.

The book is nicely printed in three colors on heavy 8-1/2 X 11 stock that lays flat.

I have purchased four other VB study guides for my staff. This is my favorite.

With stories like "Ferryman" (Eric Brown), "The White Stuff" (Peter F. Hamilton & Graham Joyce), and "A Night on Bare Mountain" (Graham Charnock), anthologies don't get any better than this. My only quibble is with the experimental narrative "Thirteen Views of a Cardboard City"(William Gibson) which rounds out the volume with a whimper, not a bang. Otherwise, this is Hugo & Nebula territory.
