I originally thought that the main focus of this book would be about veterinarians, in fact, it covers the whole range of animal related careers, from working in a pet store to becoming a vet, and all the places you could go after you've become a vet. It has a very helpful chapter on the process of getting in to vet school. The financial aid and acceptance policies are different from those of other schools, and all fall under a single overseeing board for all the schools. All the schools are listed here along with contact info for each. All very detailed.

This book was very informative. It included several facts about Prince William. I read it strait through and enjoyed every page. All the facts stated appeared to be true, and nothing was said that would offend or upset William and his fans. I searched for a book that included a lot of information about the future king of England. I purchased several different books, but this book proved to be the most informative.

Richard Price is without a doubt one of the finest libertarian theorists of all time. The works in this excellent volume set forth a political philosophy of natural rights, distrust of power, and local self-government that is as timeless as it is profound. It is unfortunate that Price and his works are all but forgotten and ignored today, even among libertarians.

This is a capital book for all the Physics students, it give a good overview of the theory through a huge set of problems of the main parts in the theory. Good exercices and understandable solutions, that will make you easier the way to understand General relativity. I think this book has the key to fully understand Einstein gravitation. A good choose !

Wanderer's is a first hand look at inner city youth in the sixties, I read it years ago, and recently read it again, as was as impressed this time as I was before. This is the book that inspired me to write, and Richard Price has a style like no other writer.

What a wonderful book. If you are not familiar with the work of Stanley Sargent, I heartily recommend this book. For once Cthulhu Mythos aficionados can revel in a new, individual voice. Indeed, it is the distinct "voice" of each of the selections in this book that remains so impressive. That and the fact that Sargent (like Robert Bloch before him) is one of the few Mythos writers that successfully mixes horror and humor.

Probably one of the most satisfying aspects about the "Taint" is that the reader gets to sample Sargent in various aspects of his craft - from straight, Mythos horror, to subtle humor, to irreverent poetry and well-researched analysis. (The central novella, Nyarlatophis, set in ancient Egypt, is also superbly researched and delivered.) His range is as varied as is his manner of delivery - from a creepy "Live Bait," a sequel to H.P. Lovecraft's famous (and disturbing) "Shadow Over Innsmouth," to a thought provoking "Black Brat of Dunwich"-- a different interpretation of Lovecraft's "The Dunwich Horror." The two should be read side by side for the remarkable insights and conclusions Sargent manages to draw from Lovecraft's original story. To be honest, I found all the stories in this volume interesting and surpirsingly successful - despite their different construction and delivery. In the last story: "Double Screecher" Sargent manages to perfectly capture the claustrophobic paranoia of an insecure man in a movie theater. But don't be misled, you will think the story is going one way but then Sargent will pull the rug out from under you and go in an entirely different direction. Fabulous!

Another aspect of Sargent's savvy work that I found most appealing was his fluid style - and the individual timbre of each story which had a distinct feeling and "voice" all their own. Part of this is due to his gift of knowing how to give the reader just enough detail to prompt their mind into its own tangents of description. In other words, instead of describing something in complete detail, he gives the reader just enough key words or phrases which then propels their mind into creating its own mental scenarios. A rare gift. I found this especially impressive in such stories as "Live Bait."

If all that were not enough, the book has illustrations by D. L. Hutchinson, Allen Koszowski, Daniel Alan Ross, Peter Worthy, Jeffrey Thomas and Stanley Sargent himself! The book is also given a superb introduction by Richard A. Lupoff, which immediately establishes the quality of entertainment that will be found between the book's covers, and each story is prefaced by comments from none other than Robert M. Price - the respected and veteran Lovecraft scholar.

Do yourself a favor and get this book. Sargent is a vivid, colorful writer. It is most unfortunate that his first volume of stories, Ancient Exhumations, is now out of print.

I found this book of great benefit in terms of understanding the real feelings of the players inside the White House during the Nixon Presidency. The author who was a speechwriter during Richard Nixon's term as president tells his story as one on the inside and with knowledge of Nixon's innermost feelings during the most difficult periods of the Watergate saga. The reader also gets good insights into people like Kissinger, as well as the events surrounding the issue of detante. The book was written almost twenty-five years ago but is incredibly fresh as a record of those tumultuous days.

Absolutely massive, full-colour book about many, many artists currently working in the U.K. Includes excerpts of British newspaper and tabloid commentary, eye-catching graphics, essays by art historians, hundreds of gorgeous photographic examples of artwork throughout the book, and much, much more. Ideal for anyone interested in the art of the yBAs, or indeed the very future of contemporary art.

The red book is THE definitive coin guide. Although not aseloboarate as some of the coin "encyclopedias", ... thisbook gives you basic information for U.S. and colonial coins as farback as the 17th century. Although the price guide is fairly accurate(a weekly or monthly will give you more accuarate prices) there is anabundance of information that any coin collector should know.

Thelast edition I bought was in 1992, and this years edition is muchimproved. Some photos are now in color, and the bullion chart is veryuseful. Although the red book is a reference book, it does make forgreat reading. If you're a beginning numismatist, before you startbuying coins , buy this book. END

At our popular Internet rare coin shop, we receive many e-mail requests for information regarding a myriad of details concerning rare coins, such as their precious metal content; who designed a particular coin; what years was a specific design of coin minted; what do the letters "D" "CC" or "S" mean on a coin; what is the approximate value of a specific coin; what is "bullion;" etc.

The single most comprehensive and easiest to use reference for answering such questions remains this wonderful book which also holds a record as the longest running annual coin publication. Earlier editions have even become collector items with their own strong following. This is the first book anyone beginning to collect rare coins should purchase. The second is "Photograde." Between these two exceptionally well-written books many insights and reliable facts about rare coin collecting are presented.

This book is more commonly called "The Red Book," and is seldom out of arm's reach. It is unusual to go a day without opening our copy to check at least one fact or review one detail. This is a definite FIVE STAR book on coin collecting which carries our strongest possible purchase recommendation.

If you're new to coin collecting and don't have this book, you need it; it's an excellent reference. If you don't care about the prices, the 2001 edition offers very little compared to the 2000 edition. One of those new 2000 proof sets can be had for a similar price... The 2001 edition of the red book changes little from the 2000 edition. A number of B&W pictures have been replaced with color versions of the same, and the results are generally more pleasing. Mintage figures have been updated to include 1999 numbers. The new quarters program is nicely presented, with a complete listing of all 50 states and the expected release years, as well as photos of all five 1999 designs. The new Sacagawea dollar is also listed with a brief introduction similar to that given other coins. With the exception of the new quarters and dollar, the entire regular issue (250+ pages) section is identical to the 2000 edition: no new error or variation photos or descriptions have been added. The commemoratives section has had some additional photos added and the bullion section has been re-arranged. The index also appears to be slightly improved. Giving the red book a rating is a bit silly, since most people buy it for a reference anyway. If I was comparing it to the 2000 edition, I'd give it a low rating. However, since I buy the new edition every year without thinking twice, I'll give it five stars.

One the wittiest, darkest, most complex murder mystery since L.A. Confidential (The book a Classic masterpiece, the movie nothing more than good entertainment) Rocco and Strike are perfect players for Richard Prices character study of cops and dealers, the good and the bad, the black and white and the brown who all seem to be misunderstanding eachother rather than truly listening to eachother. Price was able to get me so into the charcters complex persona and agendas that when he uncovers the answer to the mystery I realized that I had become as blind as Rocco firy detective and Strikes mentally confused and conflicted drug dealer. The Clockers are as deadly as they are sad and as angry as they are full of it. (That doesn't include Rodney, Buddha Hat, or Errol Barnes, who all have an evil and dangerous aura that, unlike most hoods, truly is dangerous.) The film was surprisingly faithful to the novel and its message, although I was dissapointed that they took out such charcters as Buddha Hat and Futon and Peanut and Champ and didn't focus on Thumper at all and waited till the end to bring out the rage and fury of Andre until the end of the movie. The book, though, is a classic example of urban tension and decay and depression and hopelessness and the good people who are taken down because of it. But also how an act of mercy can bring hope to the most hopeless clocker and the most burnt out detective.

Richard Price's "Clockers" is easily one of the best books I have ever had the pleasure of reading. It is a riveting tale of ruthless detectives, the guilty, the innocent, racism, drugs and hope.It is a book that makes us care about its characters including Strike, Det. Rocco Klein and many others. It is a book about the state of the drug problem in America as well as a tight, captivating murder mystery. Spike Lee made a wonderful, gritty film from the novel and both are urban masterpeices.

I normally read the likes of Dale Brown, Tom Clancy, Clive Cussler and so on; this was something totally different. It was superb and highly engrossing; Richard Price has obviously done his research well. I loved the movie, but the book is much better. The main difference here is that Rocco Klein, the hardworking hassled cop is the good guy and Strike is the protagonist. As the mystery unfolds as to why Victor Dunham confessed to a drug-related murder the cop thinks Strike committed, the ending will surprise you no end. Well done Richard Price; this is a classic book by anyone`s standards.
