My husband and I had much success with this book. The eating program outlined was simple to follow and the results were confirmed with our doctor. This program really does set your body up to burn off excess weight when followed as written. As always, see your doctor first if you are going to initiate a agressive weightloss program.

I read this book and used it's method of weitht loss over ten years ago, and I kept the weight off. It works.

Although the book represents itself merely as Warm Up excercises, as a prelude to further technical studies, this book is so much more. It's become a valuable addition to my practice routine, and in just a short period of time has helped me improve my playing.

Widly regarded as the father of trombone teaching, Emory Remington's "Warm-up studies" represent the most widely used exercises for the development of tone, articulation, range, lip flexibility, and slide technique. For further information on Emory Remington, request my dissertation from a University library (available in November 1999).

This two volume set has come in handy many times. It is a great aide in formulating products and explaining testing procedures along with a detailed description of each drug with a chemical formula. I only wish that they would make an updated version.

Although this book is not a book for your reading pleasure, you can approach it that way to. Thousands of pages of incredibly detailed and valuable information. Biotechnological and biopharmaceutical information were not as detailed and comprehensive as I wanted them to be but I understand the need to review and find some 'holding on' within the pharmacy industry before it is placed in this book. Nevertheless, a must read! A must have!

I had this book when it first came out in the 1960's and I loved it. I was first getting interested in skeet shooting and was a young boy. I have re-entered the sport recently and I pulled out my old copy to refresh myelf of the fundamentals. The book was published in the mid 60's so it is dated in its rules and of course, in its photos, but the reader who loves this sport should find it all very interesting. The material it contains on fundamentals is the meat of the book. These fundamentals are critical to learn. The book presents them very well with concise descriptions of foot positions, gun point, where to break the clay target, and most importantly, what to see in your sight picture, and how large a lead to take. Braun does this on each station of the skeet field with well written descriptions, photos and diagrams as well. I highly recommend this publication, my copy had a pullout map of things to do at each station with handy pointers that will make things click for the reader who is a skeet shooter.

I just bought my second copy after losing my original 35 year old copy. Paid a premium, but it was worth every penny. Too bad this book is out of print. This book taught me how to play the game and led me to my first 25 straight. I stopped playing the game for a long time, but now that I'm coming back, I trust this book to start me out right for the 2nd time.

This book covers the main issues of Limnology, and compiles them into an easy to read, well descriptive text. Also includes good diagrams for the more complicated aspects. Suitable for those with a fair knowledge of Biology and Chemistry.

Well done, explanations at times are a little too technical, fun book to read

I enjoyed this textbook. Unlike most texts it was engaging AND informative. The text and diagrams are well integrated and a number of important concepts are covered well. This text could be improved by adding additional color photographs.

This book is full of partial knowledge. It is a good outline to catapult your memory, but it is not good for learning the material the first time around. It is boring.

This book was perfect for CEN prep. Following my CEN I found all of the information that I could remember that was tested in this book. Prior to the exam, I used practice tests and when I identified my weaknesses, I used this book to study that material at an indepth level.

It is the definitive work on core knowledge required of ED nurses. As with any other core curriculums the format is in outline. I've been an ED nurse for almost 25 years and use the core as a guide and to jog my overloaded memory bank.

I used this book with some success in my upper division course on Russian politics. The book addresses Russian politics after the implosion of the Soviet system. The book is comprehensive, but its attention to detail does not destract the reader from main points. This is important, because textbooks often become unreadable due to excessive irrelevant information. This in not the case with Remington's book. The writing style is rather pedestrian, but for a textbook, it is more than adequate. This book cover events in Russia up until 1997, so this book, or at least this edition is a bit dated. Events in Russia are changing very fast, and the author is not responsible for not being able to churn out a textbook that is 100 percent up to date. For a more popular analysis of events in Russia afer 1991 see David Remnick's "Resurrection." I recommend this textbook for any undergraduate class in Russian politics.

I have twice used Remington's Politics in Russia as a text in my Russia Politics course for intermediate political science students. -- It is an excellent text for students. Most of my students thought the book was readable, comprehensive, sufficiently detailed, and clear. -- It is an excellent text from which to teach, comparative in nature, adequately comprehensive, short (244 pages), and without a strong personal bias.

Remington's approach is the comparative politics approach of Almond and Powell -- systems from socialization through interest aggregation and policy making to implementation and feedback. His book is a broader, more detailed version of his chapter in Almond and Coleman's Comparative Politics Today (Longman) 2000.

For a short book, it is comprehensive. It lacks, however, a development of the historical context of the Russian political system. Its chapters 1 and 2 are sufficient for his purposes, but they do not give a student, with little or no knowledge of late 19th and 20th century Russian history, an adequate overview of the past. Additionally, the book does not discuss sufficiently critical social issues in Russia, although his comparative approach is dependent upon the culture and socialization.

Because the book is short, I can supplement it with other readings (I use a Russian foreign policy text and The Economist)without breaking the student's bank account or having to rely solely on Remington.

The book has no obvious bias, other than its particular comparative approach. It is objective and factual, while raising many of the important value issues. He does not try to sell the reader a particular view of Russian politics.

The American Cowboy was written by Phillip Ashton Rollins, a cowboy who lived the Old West in the late 1800's. He looks at the beginnings of ranching, the ranchmen and farmers of the west, the cowboy character, what he wore, his equipment, and furnishings including saddles, a typical days work, branding and round-up, the cattle drive, breaking horses, his diversions and recreations along with rustling and trailing. Rollins speaks from experience having tutored under Jim Bridger, participated on cattle drives from Texas to Montana and lived on a Cheyenne Indian reservation. He also witnessed Wyoming's "Rustler War" in 1892. This work is an invaluable account for anyone attempting to gain insight into the life and times of the American cowboy in the old west, 1870 - 1900. In completeness, readability, accuracy, it is the equivalent of the long time classic Civil War book, "Hardtack and Coffee" by John D. Billings - a soldier who gives the reader an open window into the life and times during the Civil War.

this newly edited book presents a comprehensive oveeview of the field of chronic diseases with epidemiology and their control.

The Cradle Will Fall is co-authored by Dr. Carl S. Burak, MD, LLD and the pseudonymous Michele Remington, a real patient of Dr. Burak's practice of psychiatric medicine.

Michele's story of post-partum depression should be read by any expectant mother with a family history of depression or any physician who has a family practice or an ob/gyn specialty.

Dr. Burak has practiced psychiatric medicine for many years. In his early medical career he practiced in family practice, tribal medicine, and sports medicine. He writes with a conversational style which will draw you in to the story of Michele and her family and will rivet your attention from the first page to the last.

In the process you'll learn a great deal about the symptoms, treatment and hope for patients with clinical depression whose own doctors (or primary care physicians in HMO-speak)may know little or nothing about the devastating effects of an imbalance of chemicals in the brain.
