Why does it seem that the horse story get's twisted into the youth of this country. This is More Propaganda to save the wild horses. I am tired of this agenda being fed to my children

Don't listen to the guy who gave this book only one star. The research carried out by the author is accurate and correct. Columbus did in fact re-introduce the horse (inadvertently)to North America. If you're really that curious about it all then read 'The Nature of Horses'. I forget the name of the author but it is a first-class scientific account of the evolution of the horse and its escape from extinction by domestication (yes it's true, if we didn't enjoy giddy-upping so much on the backs of horses or getting them to pull stuff there would be no more of the majestic creatures around!). What the previous reviewer mistook as propaganda is actually the product of sound archaeology and zoology. There you have it, straight from the horses...

I checked this out from the library and was glad that I didn't buy it without reading it. It has very few equations and algorithms, and is more of a general overview or listing of computations done in GIS. Those hoping for a cookbook for geometric and analytic geography operations would best turn to Keith Clark's Analytic and Computer Cartograhy or a even good survey handbook for a better overview of the most important algorithms and formulas.

Property is a difficult subject, therefore, any casebook on the matter should be clear. This casebook, on the other hand, did more harm than good. Every case was followed up by questions with a list of cases to "see." Most first year law students have hundreds of pages to read every week and will never refer to these other cases. Thus, these questions (which are worded rather obscurely, I might add. The notes seem to be in another language: Latin) are never answered by the student. With a subject like property, it would be more helpful for the casebook to have more straightforward explanations to accompany the cases, as in Singer's casebook

More than 400 pages of detail on virtually every aspect of human-computer interaction (HCI) as computers monitor and record human use of them is far too much. It doesn't help that Peters, unlike most other commentators, is an apologist who finds little to fear from the invasion of privacy that is an essential part of HCI. This may be the first comprehensive overview of the topic but it could have benefited from some serious editing to produce a shorter and less pedantic text. Most readers will find this hard going.

Don't get me wrong. I love the PBS Radio Show "Click and Clack", but Peters and Townsend are supposed to be legendary management guru's who've made millions as business sages with all of the answers, not a couple of greasy mechanics. But I think the mechanic brothers could offer far more relevant business advice than this pair of has-beens.

Management books aren't known for their 'science', but this tape is essentially two guys talking about some old jobs they had. At cynical moment, their success is actually attributed mostly to 'luck'. Most of their real suggestions are wholly impractical in that they involve the freedom to willfully fire their employees in a manner that would impossible, possibly even illegal, for most companies.

Now this is common to many business motiviational teachings, but why, after all of the advice on getting the right people and paying the right people, is there a long section at the end when ambitious employees are chastised to never ask for a raise (rewards always find their way to those that deserve it, right?) Could it be that the royalties from guru books are nothing compared to the royalties from big companies willing to pay $80,000 a day for this week's management fad? No company is going to buy advice that reminds hoards of employees to ask what they are worth. But now I'm being cynical.

This book is really about GETTING READY, more than about playing squash. It does cover the basics, but most of the (little) book is devoted to other things, such as the appropriate diet you have to follow and which tipe of gym you have to do to get ready.

This book is about a little harp seal who just ventured out into the sea. One day he wakes up hungry, and his mother feeds him. He has white fur and blubber to protect him from the cold. I think this is a great book to educate children about the life of a seal. I found it interesting that a mother seal leaves their young shortly after they are born. The pup must then learn to live on its own. A polar bear tries to attack Little Harp Seal, and thankfully, his mother comes to the rescue. The cycle continues with each generation of seals. I would give this book five thumbs up for the illustrations. There were graphic and very detailed pictures.

The major part of this book is made up of two page wide, single line entries for each fund. Entries consist of the usual stats available for free on-line. It would be worth the price to have this information neatly bound in a book - if the data was current, but it isn't. November 1998 mutual fund data is not much use in November 2001 (will this bull market ever end?). No fault of the authors - but not a good buy now.

He could have said the same thing in 50 pages and only repeated himself twice. He made it sound as though cost accountants were the greatest roadblock to efficient manufacturing without adequately offering alternative methodologies. He should have used some of the unnecessary 177 pages to discuss that further. I was quite disappointed.

I gave this one star because the rating system does not permit 0 stars, the correct rating for the book. Eisenman, not to put too fine a point on it, is a fool. Sadly, he is a fool who influences the education of many impressionable students taken in by obscure writing. ("If we don't understand it, it must be complicated, and therefore great.")

It's time someone exposed this jackass for the nincompoop he really is. - Don't waste your money on this one.
