Crossword puzzles in this series are some of my mom's favorites.

They are wire-bound, making it easier to lay them flat and get down to business. But she would prefer they be laid out on single pages, and have larger type.

The puzzles are challenging without being overwhelming. These are roughly comparable to those found in the NY Times and LA Times, in both level of difficulty and in their design.

A pretty safe bet for fans, but no 5th star for the reasons above.

This series is easy to read and laid out conveniently. The puzzles are challenging without being insane. These are my mom's current favorites, and I would recommend them to fans of the crossword puzzles appearing in the NY Times or LA Times.

Look for the same title but "William Drake" as the autho

Could do with updating. Too little emphasis on indoor growing techniques (HID lights, hydroponics) or out of date info (recommends incandescents in the light mix, etc)

My secret sister at church gave me this devotional and I get a warm feeling every time I read one or more of the devotions. I try to have a cup of coffee in hand before I open the book. Being a serious coffee drinker, I especially enjoy the coffee trivia. Thank you for creating such a unique little book that any christian would enjoy. I have one problem, though. I can't read just one.

I found this book to be helpful for filing Chapter 7 bankruptcy as it has forms with instructions and examples along side. This is not the book for you if you are exploring other ways to correct your financial situation or if you want to file Chapter 13 bankruptcy. It has appendixes which list all state and federal exemptions.

"SHE DID AN EXCELANT JOB", IS WHAT WAS SAID WHEN I FILED MY BANKRUPTCY FORMS. FOR MONTHS, I STRUGGLED WITH THE KIT ON MY OWN. I COULDN'T GET ANY HELP FROM THE COURT CLERKS, AND I EVEN TRYED AN ONLINE CHAT WITH A LAWYER(HE WAS JUST AS LITTLE HELP AS THE CLERKS). MY OPTIONS BECAME: EITHER CALL IT A LOSE, OR ORDER A BOOK AND TRY ONE MORE TIME. WELL!, NEEDLESS TO SAY, IT TOOK ME TWO DAYS TO READ THE BOOK AND GATHER THE INFORMATION THAT I NEEDED TO COMPLETE THE KIT. I HAD BEEN WRESTLING WITH THE KIT FROM MAY TO AUGUST BEFORE I ORDERED THE BOOK. BELIEVE IT OR NOT, IT TOOK ME TWO HOURS TO COMPLETE THE KIT IN IT'S ENTIRETY, AFTER READING THE BOOK. I WAS VERY PLEASED WITH THE RESAULTS OF "DEBT FREE". I RECOMMEND THIS BOOK TO ANY ONE SET ON FILLING A CHAPTER SEVEN BANKRUPTCY, AND JUST CAN'T AFFORD THE FEES OF A PROFESSIONAL.

Robinson Crusoe is a great novel with great suspence. It was so good i was on my feet wanting to read more. I think everyone should read this book.

Thus Crusoe begins his journal in Daniel Defoes classical story- the vividly realistic account of a solitary castaway's triumph over natureitself-and overthe crippling fears,self-doubt,and loneliness the are and inescapable part of human nature. For about two centuries ROBINSON CRUSOE has remained one of the best-know and most read of english novels.A popularity owing as much to the enduring freshness and immediacy of it's style as to it's unchallenged stature as what MAXIM GORKY called the -

"the bible of the Unconquerable."

I have had this book for about 4 years now,a good cook book with about 40 various chefs recipes from all over Europe,From a professional point of view the book is good for beginners-intermediate great for home cooks who want to impress guests with an unusual international dessert. All recipes come with step by step photographic steps so you can see how much to whip your meringue or the consistency that your mousse should be.At the beginning of each recipe theres a brief description about the region, chef and the ingredients being used so you learn a little about where the food is produced.Ingredient lists can look a little daunting at first but dont be afraid to replace the specified ingredients with local produce (despite what some chefs think your recipe wont be ruined if you have to use local walnuts rather than the specified french variety) have fun with the recipes and inter-change components to come up with something individual.

This book is such a great resource for recipies, ideas, and beautiful presentations. The photographs of each dessert are remarkable, and breathtaking. Since I purchased this book I have used many of the recipies with no problems.

Shaviro has written an excellent and informative book about a (seemingly) important issue. The book nicely summarizes much of economic literature in non-technical terms. I would highly recommend this book to anyone (including non-specialist economists who want a quick introduction to this area).

My one complaint is that the book -- as is clear from the introduction -- is very U.S. centric and has only a few references to other countries. For example, the discussion of why shifting powers to the states might limit the size of government (since they can not print money and therefore can not run persistent deficits and can only tax so much before taxpayers move to escape high taxes) seems to go against the experience of some other federal countries (e.g., Brazil) where the states seem willing to be quite profligate (perhaps relying on federal bailouts).

According to the author, "over the past twenty-five years, the deficit debate among economists has grown increasingly discordant, reflecting the issue's increasing prominence, the growing size of reported deficits, and the collapse of 1960s Keynesianism."

Daniel Shaviro is professor of law at New York University and a former legislation attorney with the Joint Committee on Taxation of the United States Congress. There are few lawyers who write like economists (or better) and Shaviro's mastery of the development of economic thought is both judicious and impressive.

Nevertheless, if we can judge the state of economic arguments by papers presented at the annual convention of economists, there would seem to be a reduction in papers even dealing with the the Federal budget deficit. At the end of 1997, most policy-makers are celebrating the virtual elimination of the deficit, and the question becomes one of whose taxes should be cut? In this respect, Shaviro's rather conservative position seems to be one of accepting $200 billion deficits for some time.

In my view, a great deal of the skeptical view of economists with regard to the Federal deficit has been the result of the heroic writings of the Classical Keynesian, Robert Eisner, former President of the American Economic Association, reinforced by the last writings of Nobel Prize winner William Vickrey.

Shaviro treats Eisner's writings with critical respect and even admits a certain renaissance in Keynesian thinking as a result of the prediction failures of the monetarists, including the rational expectations and real business cycle extensions of neo-classical thinking.

This reviewer was pleased to see a younger political economist take the views of Abba Lerner seriously, particularly his pathbreaking article on "functional financs." Shaviro maintains that "Lerner was perhaps the leading early post-World Waw II Keynesian economist in the United States, not a marginal figure or a crank." If true, how does one explain the endless peregrinations of Professor Lerner searching for tenure?

One little-recognized contribution of Lerner was his recognition of what he called "supply-side inflation" in the seventies, something also understood by the British Keynesian, Sir Roy Harrod, and the Canadian economist John Hotson, who labeled the Harrod insight as the "Harrod dichotomy." Milton Friedman's reassuring claim that "we are all Keynesians now" permitted the eclipse of the Lernerians in theoretical discussions and the continuation of the dogmatic monetarist belief that inflation is always a question of too much money in the system.

More importantly, it resulted in the popularity of Paul Volker's "licking of inflation" with a little-noticed jump of real interest rates in the early eighties and the continued fawning approval of his successor, Alan Greespan, despite the fact that Greenspan has given up the use of monetary aggregates to determine his monetary policy decisions.

Shaviro seems overly impressed with an "independent" Fed conducting monetary policy (except for Burns in 1972), and it is very difficult for this reviewer to go along with Shaviro's conclusion that "deliberate management of the business cycle should generally be left to the Federal Reserve, acting through monetary policy."

The persistent fears of the Fed concerning demand-pull inflation in the long run have produced passive or cyclical deficits and eventually deflation. It is no accident that the postwar record deficits have all been passive and achieved by Republican Administrations beginning with Eisenhower and ending with Bush.

This two volumes compilation of Indian Treaties is essential for anyone who wants to learn Native American Diplomacy with the U.S.A., Spain, Mexico and a great number of U.S. states, particulars, etc...

Two regrets : first, the references end with year 1979 (end of President CARTER's periode), but so many laws were established during Presidents REAGAN, BUSH and CLINTON... should have found its place here;

second, it's quite difficult to find a particular problem, while an important final index (pages 1500 to 1540) offers interesting possibilities. If You want to learn how Treaties were written and failed, You have to buy (or consult) those two books.

(Please excuse my bad English; I'm a natural French writer)

This is an extremely important book for readers interested in the history of treaties between the United States ( and others ) and the Indian Nations.

This is a two volume, 1500 page work. This is surprising enough without considering that the texts of the 350+ traditionally acknowledged treaties - that have been accessed over the years through Charles J. Kappler's "Indian Affairs: Laws and Treaties" - are not included here. Citations to Kappler's compilation are provided in Chapter 5 on "Valid Treaties." The scope of this work is demonstrated by the inclusion of early and very late treaties or agreements; by an analysis of the railroad/irrigation agreements; and by the enumeration of treaties and agreements rejected by Congress or by the Nations. This last group of documents is added to land grants to private parties, and to unratified or miscellaneous treaties or agreements, that collectively comprise the entire second volume.

Deloria and DeMallie state ( page 1475 ): "The goal of this collection is to identify every document that can be understood as representing a diplomatic negotiation by an Indian nation." For those interested in this area of history, this publication will be an asset to their collection.

Review by 6 yr old. A good book about sharing. Teaches you about being nice and the importance of friendship.

This is my favorite kids book and really, it's much deeper than the usual 'morality lite' type of sharing message. I have read "Doodle Flute" to most of our nine kids dozens and dozens of times. We never tire of it. Some of my kids have adopted weird kid, Mason Mintz, as their personal hero because the guy has guts-- real guts to be exactly who he is, no apologies. I have read "Doodle Flute" to high school catechism classes teaching the tpoic of human dignity. The highschoolers loved it and discussed it at legnth. Daniel Pinkwater infuses some solid truths about human dignity into this book in a nearly brilliantly understated way. Our family owns at least a thousand books, hundreds of childrens books. "Doodle Flute" should be on every book shelf-- children's and adults' alike.

A great book freaturing many great photos of Dylan during his first "prime". The photographs by Marshall and Kramer have been in print since the dawn of time, a big disappionment from those two photographers. Barry Fienstein was along for most of the 5/66 tour and his pictures are mostly brand new and very very exiting. I was a little disappionted by the lack of preformance pictures included, but that's a minor gripe. Overall an essential picture book for any Dylan fan, new or old.

Note: Barry Feinstein's pictures graced the booklet that went with the CD "Bob Dylan, Live 1966". He could have easily made a much, much more exiting book if all the "standard" pictures from Kramer and Marshall were replaced by more of Feinstein's unseen amazing photographs.

I agree with the other reviewer about this book. I've seen most of the work by Marshall & Kramer. Not to take away from them but the work by Feinstein was primarally new to me(except for the Live 66 photography) and i only wish there was more of his work. All and all, though, a great book of photographs of a true artist.
