Written by Maggie Daniels who is sometimes credited as Maggie Davis this is a wonderful Christmas romance book that I really loved reading and could not put it down, it is about Julia Stonecypher a widow with two young daughters, she loses her job and they are danger of being evicted from their home by an arrogant bank officer named Gregory Harding but he has an accident and winds up getting snowed in at their house and than the story gets very good and interesting and is a really heartwarming story. It was made into a made for television Christmas movie starring Olivia Newton-John and Grgory Harrison, I taped it when it was shown on TV but haven't watched it yet so I can't say if the movie was good or not but the book was great and probably one of the most charming Christmas romance books I have ever read, It's a shame that it's out of print!

Ok, first of all, I'm 13 (almost 14) and I love the French Revolution. Unfortunatly since I'm not as old as most of the dedicated scholars on this subject, I really don't understand a word they write. This book is nice because it has lots of good pictures- anyone doing a report, this is a good book for you!- and it has language that us little people use. It makes sense of all the court scandals and the problems with the bourgeois and aristos. Plus! it gives a discription of the main players in the revolution which is invaluable, at least for me, because most books just expect you to know who Jacques Necker and Princess de Lamballe are, and if everyone expects you to know who they were, how can one find out anything?
So, if you're interested in French history get this book (Or, since it's pretty expensive and out of print, rent it at the library. (if the public library doesn't have it, the university does. but wait! I'm talking to educated peoples here, they'll already know that!)) it's a good investment. :-)

The best book of SF I read for long time.
When Canada and USA are not friend anymore and the war is now a reality, our future is not what we can hope.
And even our past is not always the best. Can we change it? Yes with a new drug, Chronoreg. Is it reality?
Suspense, intelligence, psychology, and so many things...

I recently used Circa 1492 as a reference in preparing lesson plans for several high school units. I found the book to be an excellent resource, filled with information about the world in 1492 that was thought provoking. I recommend the book for anyone who is interested in art and history, multicultural society, and the age of exploration.

Although it is the simplest of all nonlinear geometric forms, the circle is far from trivial. It is indeed a pleasure that The Mathematical Association of America chose to reprint an update of this classic first printed in 1957. Geometry teaching has been in retreat for many years in the US and that has been a sad (and very bad) thing. It is also puzzling as so many people say that the reason why they cannot do mathematics (i.e. algebra) is that they need to see something in order to understand it. Furthermore, the first mathematical education that most children receive contains the differentiation of shapes and their different properties.
Circles and lines as used in geometry are abstractions that are easily grasped, much simpler to many than the abstract generalizations of algebra. One can only hope that this book signals a rebirth in interest in geometry education. Without question, it can be used as a text for that education and would help parent a rebirth. To remedy this modern affliction and make the material available to the current readership, a chapter zero was included. This new chapter is used to introduce the background concepts and terminology that could be assumed when is was first published.
No one can truly appreciate the intellectual achievements of the ancients as summarized by Euclid without doing some of the problems. There is also a stark beauty to a form of mathematics where the tools are a compass, straightedge and a mind. Particularly in the age of calculators and computers. All of the basic, ancient results concerning circles are covered as well as some very recent ones. The theorems are well presented and compete without being overdone. In keeping with the ancient traditions, pencil, paper, compass and straightedge are the only tools used. A short collection of solved exercises is also included.
Like the books of Euclid, this work will grow old but never dated. It was destined to be a classic when is was first printed and remains so today.

I could not stand reading or watching anything about Vietnam for about 10 years. I eventually watched the movie " Apocalypse Now" I found it interesting but it did not relate to anything in the central highlands. Later I saw "Pork Lips Now" and could relate this to the movie. Finally someone told me that the whole thing was based on "Heart of Darkness " ISBN: 0486264645. So I decided to read the book. I found it fascinating and much better than the movie. However I could not see the forest of the trees and needed some help in showing me what I was looking at. Because I was not in some school class, I turned to the "Cliffs Notes" Of course my views don't match the notes exactly but they gave me some questions to ask and showed me the forest. The notes include:

· Life of the Author

· Introductions to the Novel

· Lists of Characters

· Brief Plot Synopses

· Summaries & Critical Commentaries

· Critical Essay

· Suggested Essay Topics

· Selected Bibliography

Later I found a movie that was much closer to the original story,

"Cannibal Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death" (1988)

Great book. Concise yet thorough. Not for those who like a lot text to peruse. Pics are perfect, every topic has at least a couple. Combines all those books youv'e been told to get indivually. Small enough to bring along with you wherever.

A complete guide to all primary care procedures that one performs during routine exams. The text is clear and concise on each procedure and explains normal and abnormal findings. The appropriate method for recording is also detailed in this book. This is a must for any optometry student or ophthalmology resident.

In this book, the authors present and explain outcome-present-state model, "a third-generation nursing process model that emphasize reflection, outcome specification, and testing, given the client's story". Given the inevitable trends and growing emphasis on outcome measures in the health care industry, including the demand to document what nurses contribute to health care, there is a need for nurses to develop clinical reasoning skills. They can start by reading about the OPT model in this book. The authors applied the OPT model and its concepts to selected health care issues and needs of clients in different health care contexts. Every nurse who reads this book can relate to the use of the OPT model in a care context similar to his/her respective practice setting. This reader thoroughly enjoyed this book. The subsections are separated (yet integrated) by tables, figures, and "stop and think" exercises designed to reinforce concepts and materials.
