good book. he uses a lot of good quotes directly from john brown. recommended

John Brown, one of the most influential and important people of his time and of ours is captured by soul in this book. He is my great great great great great grandfather, which i know sounds a little off-the-wall, but even though he is so far down the line, i am still very proud of it. Keep his story alive, this man deserves appreciation.

It's a pretty good boook to get you oriented with visual basic and learn some simple visual basic commands. When it was writen they were using windows 3.1, so if you're using Windows 95 there is a couple things that might confuse you, but nothing major. It doesn't cover a broad range of topics, so it's best to use just to get started. I would recommend it to a beginner, but it's not the best book in the world

This introductory textbook gives a balanced (neither overly conservative nor overly liberal) introduction to all of the classical interpretive questions. Unfortunately, many proofreading errors found in the previous edition have not been corrected in this edition. Some of these errors are substantive, such as putting all of the prophetic books under the heading "former prophets" on p.18 and putting Jerusalem instead of Samaria as the city conquered by the Assyrians in 722 (in the glossary under "transcolonization"). However, an alert teacher can compensate for these types of flaws in an otherwise very competent presentation of the contents and interpretative issues of Hebrew Bible.

What makes Schooling Choices so helpful is that it approaches the same topic from several different angles. Proponents of public school, private school and homeschool all respond to the same battery of questions. Then they respond to each others' responses. The book is specifically aimed at giving insight to Christians deciding on the best place to educate their children. The tone is respectful yet forthright.

I,thankfully, first read this book when our oldest child was in preschool. My spouce and I, both being educated in private schools, planned to follow the same route with our own children. When I read the first section of Schooling Choices, about public schools, I took notes, thinking some very good points were brought up. When I read the next section, on private schools, I felt confirmation for our plans to school that way. Then, when I read the final section, on homeschooling, I became convinced that this was the method for us.

It was assuring to know that this change of plans was not brought about by some convincing speaker or group dynamic, but by a careful assessment of the issues. Five years later, I am as convinced as ever that the decision was the right one for us, and was greatly aided by Schooling Choices. I also believe that different people could come away from reading the book with other decisions that would be just as right for them.

I think this book may have been written in 3 days also!!! Just another book to catch the VB 5 Wave. Let get real, try out "Teach Yourself Visual Basic 5 in 21 Days" by Nathan Gurewich and Ori Gurewich this book it what you want!

This book should not be in print. It is so full of errors, and the writing style is so poor that I did not have the patience to tolerate more than 40 pages of it. It begins by teaching you how to create a directory in Windows explorer. I think they could assume you know how to use Windows as a pre-req.

I found this book to be very basic... After you're done reading it ...is useless =( It teaches you VB programming terminology and concepts. The whole entire book has a goal of teaching the reader by following 1 example program which you reproduce and go into deltails as you learn the simple concepts of logic.

...if you have a basic knowledge of porgramming in vb or any other language ....don't bother with this book....leave it to the beginner...but then again.... once your done with the book ...only good thing you can do is give it to someone else.

Well it's no wonder this book is out of print. It has got to be the single worst book on microscopy I have ever seen. For people who are supposed to be experts on microscopy, the pictures in this book are sloppy. Presumably, English is the first language of the authors, though you'd never know if from reading the book. The book by Goldstein et. al is much better.
