The Eagle's Call is the most inspirational and thought provoking book I have ever read. This book has had a profound impact on me and has caused me to think a lot about my own life journey.

Two things that strike me the most from this book is the author's strong ability of intuition and the fact that he is not afraid to take action.

Mr. Ryan provides an interesting and inspiring account of his life journey. Reading about his life journey will encourage you to examine yours in a positive light.

This book about euclidean and non-euclidean geometry is great! A must for researh or math class!

I bought this book hoping to find a self-contained, semi-rigorous introduction to Fourier Analysis and its applications, and indeed I'm very pleased with the purchase. One aspect of the book's format that I enjoyed in a self-study setting is how it is partitioned into lessons (which are in turn divided into chapters). Indeed, it seemed that each lesson took me about 60-90 minutes to absorb, which is the average time most students (including myself) devote to one lesson.

Another aspect of the book I enjoyed was the fact that, on one hand the author took the time to introduce mathematically sophisticated ideas such as Lesbesgue measure and Hilbert spaces in order to make the proofs run more smoothly, but on the other there where more practical lessons on the fast Fourier transform, filters, and even wavelet analysis (last lesson). Such a blend of theory and practice in a relatively compact text seems quite rare.

Finally, I highly recommend this book for students of all levels; but especially to graduate students in mathematics, physics, and engineering.

My daughter LOVED this book. Sometimes I would hear her laughing from the other room as she read it. She would even bring up some of the issues she read about during dinner. She said that even though it was written by adults, it was presented in "her language" (funny, I thought she spoke English like the rest of us). She really liked the chapters by Mark Bernstein and Keith Hawkins in particular. Thanks for a great read. Go MAD is great!

iT OPENED WELL BUT THE MAIN BODY OF THE PIECE SERVED ONLY TO CONFUSE NOT REINFORCE. i FEEL CHAPTER 10 WAS PARTICULARLY WEAK AND CHOSE TO CONCENTRATE ON THE SUB)ATOMIC PARTICLE THESIS IN FAVOUR OF THE NUCLEIC_ACID THESEIS WHICH i DEEMED TO BE A FUNDAMENTAL FLOOR.

Good guide for 1997, but 3 years later it is out of date and does not contain many new sites. Web directorys should be updated yearly at the least.

I was very unhappy when I saw the cheap quality of The Big Basics Web Directory published by Que.. The paper is the kind used for coloring books, and the printing is poorly done. In some instances it is all but impossible to read the black print on dark gray background. I had expected to receive a book of at least as good quality as Que's Complete Idiot's Guide to Windows 95. Sorry about this poor review. This is the first time in a long time I've been so disappointed in a book I had ordered sight unseen.

     There are literally millions of Websites online today that provide a wealth of information on a variety of topics. There are a handful of good Internet Website directories available that can help surfers find the information they need. Most of these are bulky, though, and can take a while to thumb through. Que and Macmillan Computer Publishing has published The Big Basics Web Directory to provide readers with reviews of their top picks!

     Que's editors have selected the best Website in each of the 101 categories covered in the book. Additionally, four more (best of the rest) Websites in each of these categories are also reviewed. Topics include business, car buying, computers, cooking, education, government, health, hobbies, humor, investing, job searching, news, pets, religion, software, sports, travel, as well as a number of controversial issues.

     This large 8 1/2" by 11" directory features quarter-page screen shots of every Website reviewed. A convenient listing at the back of the book lists every Website and its URL to provide quick and easy access to them. Website reviewers will find this directory to be a great reference tool for review material when facing a deadline. Website designers can pick up some top-notch Website design ideas as well!

     This concise directory will point readers to some of the best Websites available at the turn of a page. Thumb through it at your leisure. There is something of interest here for everyone! Highly recommended!

I, too, bought this as a Christmas gift for my 17-year-old son. Gifts at that age are difficult, so this was one of the few he was getting. I was very disapointed (to say the least) when a book obviously written for elementary school-aged children arrived. It's very over-priced, too. Please correct your copy to reflect the appropriate age range!

This book is appropriate for second thru sixth graders. I ordered it for a 17 year old for Christmas and was disappointed. The content repeatedly states the obvious: "Extreme skateboarders like to try new, difficult tricks."

I feel this information should have been stated in the descripton. Extreme Skateboarding does have great photos. It is a small book.

buy or die!!!
