PHESANT HUNTERS THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU!!!
Please excuse my spelling, it's terrible This book is terrific. I started reading this book and couldn't put it down. It is a fine collection of stories ranging from the great soilbank days when Kansas alone had 4 million birds to the Royal hunts in Europe where an average daily bag mesaures in the thousands, It has stories more like mine where the average hunt ends with tired dogs and few birds. The book through it's many differant authors also explores the ethics associated with hunting. This book is for the bird hunter who's cleaning his gun for the third time this week when hunting season isn;t for 6 months. It's for the guy who can't stop dreaming of how his new pup will do his first time out. It's for the guy who spends more time with his dogs than with his wife. All hunters will enjoy this book, but the true bird hunter won;t be able to put it down.

Planning for Integrated Systems and Technologies: A How-To-Do-It Manual for Librarians (How-To-Do-It Manuals for Libraries, No. 111.)
Published in Paperback by Neal-Schuman Publishers, Inc. (2001)

Amazon base price: $55.00
Average review score:

The Essential "How-To" Manual for These Issues
_Planning for Integrated Systems and Technologies_, in keeping with its subtitle, really is a step-by-step, "how-to-do-it" guide that even the most technologically-illiterate librarian should have no trouble using to make effective decisions when planning for and purchasing a multipurpose electronic database. The book is particularly useful, in that it isn't directed only to first-time planners/purchasers, but can also be used effectively by those librarians who are evaluating existing systems and thinking about a replacement, a circumstance this reviewer finds himself in at the moment.


Each chapter is clearly laid out, with checklists and other charts, which may be photocopied and used as appropriate. At the end of each chapter, there is an annotated list of bibliographic references which may consulted for futher information. The authors take readers through the planning process, to providing advice on how to deal with vendors and service providers, to reviewing the system once it is in place and how to plan for the future. There are chapters on MARC records cataloging, retrospective conversion, and new standards for emerging formats, such as e-books, as well as an appendix on how to deal with outside consultants.


All in all, this book is one of the more effectively written and organized texts that this reviewer has come across. It will no doubt become the essential "how-to"manual for dealing with these issues. Very highly recommended!

Best Quick Reference Around.
This handy little book, which can easily fit into a labcoat pocket, is the best quick reference for obstetric ultrasound that I have seen. The pictures are remarkably clear and topics are easy to locate. I recommend this book for anyone, experienced or not, who is involved in this type of ultrasonography.

This guide was absolutely brilliant!
This guide was just a perfect tool to beat Quake II for me. It reminds me so much of the Doom II Guide by Prima ; a lot of helpful strategy with a sense of Marine humor. I probably wouldn't have beaten the game without it. The add-on disk was awesome!
