What an interesting book! A lot of exquiste images of the mini houses for dolls shown in the book. It is a mirror inflecting the history of dolls and the history of the countries in the past. Why not buy one and sit together with your sons and daughters showing them the miniatures of Amsterdam...:)

I lost 50lbs on the Atkin Diet and I am no longer dependent on caffine for energy! My metabolism shot straight up! I love it!

John Shirley shines once more, in the riveting conclusion of his "A Song Called Youth" trilogy. After being discredited in the United States, the Second Alliance makes its final stand in Europe. About to unleash genocide as it tries to unite Western Europe under its Christian Fundamentalist Fascism, only the New Resistance (NR) stands in its way. And high in Earth orbit, the NR's chief financial sponsor has his own sinister plans for humanity. Again, Shirley delivers the goods with his fine, fast-paced lyrical prose. Without a doubt, his "A Song Called Youth" trilogy is one of the classics of cyberpunk literature.

Easy to read and understand. My bridge teacher uses only books by Shirley Silverman and she is terrific! Our class uses the book all the time when we play foursomes at home....we do allow one another to use the book while we are learning and playing.

This book presents a good discussion of the major elements of planetary science. The sections on the planets themselves (such as 'Mars: Geology') are introductory, as they have limited space. However, as the articles move to more narrow subjects (such as 'Impact Cratering'), they increase in depth. The articles are written by experts in their fields, and the language is kept a non-technical as is possible for a general work. This is a useful reference for those interested in planetary science, from the high school level and up. It is the reference that I reach for when confronted with a subject that I know little about. It should take the interested individual to an intermediate level of understanding of most topics in this field.

I'm really sorry to see this book out of print because it's one of the most helpful hockey books I've ever come across. Everybody's Hockey Book explains hockey clearly, but doesn't skimp on the details so that even dedicated hockey fans can learn from it. That's the real asset of this book.

This is a very informative book for a beginner like me. I especially like chapter 13, "Sports-specific Training Programs".
