This is currently the preferred general text-book in Melbourne, Australia for studying for our equivalent of the board examinations. It is comprehensive, up-to-date and lucid. There is minimal extraneous information, but sufficient detail for the purposes of most general ophthalmologists. It is liberally illustrated, and the quality of photographs is generally very high indeed. There are a few photographs of difficult to photograph conditions that are not up to the generally excellent quality.

My main complaints at present are the too common typographical errors and variations in format across chapters.

Congratulations to the books'editors and contributors for having produced the new standard reference one volume textbook in Ophth.Terrific layout,generous and outstanding illustrations and tables,text from some of the worlds' best clinicians and researchers and on top of that a joy for the eye!That's how medical books will look in the new millenium.It's a pity it only came out a few months before finishing my residency.

This book is very well written, with some fantastic illustrations.It serves as a logical intermediate successor to previous textbooks in the field of Ophthalmology. A must read for all Ophthalmology residents, and physicians in training, The CD version is a superb reference for busy practitioners.

My Husband and I have read and discussed This Three Legged Stool and we think it's extraordinary. It may be spiritual or mystical but I will tell you that it's already helped in practical matters and with the preparation of my doctoral disertation. This author has a friendly recipe for broad use with a sound unique rationale. Exceptional.

Easy to read. Easy to understand. Easy to do. Highly recommended for those who are interested in taking control of their own destiny. Simply put, it works. Is it really that simple? Yes it is. Try it. You won't be disappointed.

This Three-Legged Stool was sent to a Kansas friend who said it is very deep, but written with such simplicity her children and grandchildren can read it. She ordered 11 from the publisher, before it made the Amazon list.

MY HUSBAND AND I WORK VERY LONG HOURS AND HARDLY GET A CHANCE TO TALK TO ONE ANOTHER, OR TO SEE HOW THE OTHER FEELS ABOUT CERTAIN TOPICS. THAT AS MARRIED COUPLES "PUT UNDER THE RUG" THIS BOOK HAS ALLOWED US TO COMMUNICATE AND TO REALLY OPEN UP TO ONE ANOTHER, AFTER WE READ IT. WE ARE EXCITED ABOUT STARTING OVER AND I HAVE REFERRED IT TO MANY OF OUR FRIENDS. IN FACT I HAVE DECIDED THAT EVERY MARRIED COUPLE NEEDS TO HAVE ONE IN THEIR POSSESSION. SO, WHEN SOMEONE I KNOW IS GETTING MARRIED I MAKE IT A POINT TO PROVIDE THIS AS ONE OF THEIR WEDDING GIFTS, THE POST POWERFUL PART OF THIS BOOK IS THAT IT IS BIBLICALLY BASED.

Each chapter can be read with your spouse in close to 15 minutes. The topics encourage better communication between spouses. You actually begin to anticipate each weekly reading time. A very good investment in your marriage

This is a warm and telling story of Myron Floren. It gives the reader an insight to the life of a truly great, yet humble man.
It's a book for all ages that traces Myron's life from the farm to the bright lights.
I have had the honor and privilege to work with Myron many times over the past 12 years and "Accordion Man" is a true reflection of the man, himself. If you have ever seen a performance you must have met the man. He will spend 2 hours after a performance to talk with and meet anyone wishing to do so. A truly great American.

My parents actually met Myron Floren and have an autographed copy of this book. Mr. Floren has been known as "The happy Norwegian" and is famous for his ever-present smile. A lovely story about a truly lovely person

This impressive, 3-book set offers a large number of chapters, covering a wide array of advances in the physics and chemistry of electrodynamics being made by leading researchers from around the world. Individual chapter authors have been carefully selected to ensure authoritative treatment of each topic. Editors Prigogine and Evans have published widely on many of these topics. Of particular note is the more than 600 papers by Dr. Evans on higher-order symmetry, non-Abelian EM, which are referenced throughout this book set. The application of standard gauge theory of high-energy physics to the development of higher-order symmetry, non-Abelian EM is given as a starting point from which derivative developments are explored further in this outstanding book set. Parallel developments embracing the O(3) and SU(2) gauges are presented, indicating many important commonalities and results. In-depth treatment of potential theory is given, including the concept of fieldless EM based solely on potentials. Of major note is the novel development and derivation of higher-order symmetry, non-Abelian EM from the basic Einstein irreps embraced by the Sachs theory of general relativity (GR). It is shown that EM and gravity are both derivative from a common set of irreps in this Sachs-Evans theory. In theory, it is shown as a further derivative from Sachs-Evans that useable energy is possible to be extracted from the "active vacuum" by way of "non-symmetrical regauging." These, among other noteworthy advances, are intellectually refreshing and stimulating and will, no doubt, engender further research and development of computer-hosted simulations and new experiments, many of which are suggested and described, to provide more convincing proof. Industrial applications are further suggested -- such as Radiatively-induced Fermion Resonance (RFR) showing potential performance enhancements for medical and other applications of imaging techniques. Because of the significance of these wide-ranging advances, this 3-book set is highly recommended to all physics and chemistry researchers in academe and industry alike.

This is an exciting three parts review which introduces the emerging field of non-Abelian electrodynamics and its role in unifield field theory.

Maxwell-Heaviside theory is extended and developed to reveal many new insights. It is shown how in its accepted form this theory, of a hundred or so years, cannot properly explain simple optical and interferometric effects. Non Abelian electrodynamics,however, successfully describes a series of known phenomena and makes new predictions - such as the possibility of extracting energy from the vacuum and the interdependence of electromagnetic and gravitational forces.

The three volumes are well presented and balanced covering the traditional approach and introducing the new theoretical developments from a number of starting points. It is seen how generally they produce the same overall consistent results (which are mostly embodied in a general theory of Mendel Sachs).

Physical consequences are evaluated and supporting experimental evidence reviewed or referenced where it is available.

Aspects of this reviewed work are already being described as landmarks in scientific development.

I was also 18 years old when I was sent to the Pacific and found everything that Sy Kahn wrote. Now at 71 years old I never thougth I was to find so realistic book and brought back so painful and glorius memories. This is my first war book I read and I do not regreted. I did realy enjoy it.

I am the daughter of one of the book's character's (Rafael "Sancho" Sanchez). It was so interesting to read about not only my father's exploits, but the others in the company as well. It brought back many memories of the many stories my father use to tell me about his war experiences. It also brought a real perspective of the trials of war to someone who was born eleven years after it ended. Thank you Sy for bringing me and my family a part of my father we never would have known if you had not told your story.

This book is not only a great read, but a wonderful insight into Chinese thought.

This book should be required reading at all the military institutes AND for business executives.

I've always been intrigued by common phrases, or idioms, that are part of our everyday language. As a result I was happy to get my hands on this book. After reading COMMON PHRASES: AND WHERE THEY CAME FROM I feel as if many of my questions have been answered.

In the introduction, almost as interesting as the body, Morduck and Korach explain the prevalance of idioms in addition to their historical and social significance. Now I realize how these common phrases maintain an important bond between the present and the past. Some of the idioms are so commonplace that I didn't realize their historical significance. Here is an example I found interesting,

"Apple of My Eye: It was believed as long ago as the ninth century that the pupil of the eye was a vital spot in the human anatomy. Primitive medical curiousity about it caused the early healers to study the pupil as closely as they could. They concluded that it was apple shaped, and so it become popularly known as 'apple of the eye.' Because the pupil was considered as vital as life itself, it become customary for a gallant hero to call the object of his affections 'the apple of my eye.'" (p. 16)

COMMON PHRASES: AND WHERE THEY COME FROM is well worth the money and time if you're as interested in idioms as I am.

This has been a great find. You don't actually "read" it so much as you look up expressions and phrases and sayings in the index and then read them to someone else. A terrific little volume to keep on your desk or even in the backpack. Lots of fun. I don't understand how I can be the first reviewer!

101 Family Card Games is great. I bought this back on my card games kick and continue to flip through it. If you're looking for something really exhaustive and comprehensive, however, you might want to try According to Hoyle. My only other problem with it is that it repeats several different "versions" of a single card game. For example, one card game named Animals is repeated once over as Farmyard, when it is really the same game. There are 3 or 4 other times this happens in the book. I'm not sure whether this was done to help card game aficionados keep the same card game exciting or whether it was done to just fill up some space.
However, if you're just starting your card game addicition this is definitely the book to have. One of my favorite things about the book is that it's divided into the various types of card games out there: there's a section on "War", "Rummy", "Authors" and various other categories. It's quite convenient, and the illustrations are also wonderful. Overall, an excellent buy.

I love to play cards with my children but can never rememberthe rules to my favorite games. This book has solved that problem forme :) It's amazing how a deck of cards and a rule book can bring a family together...

"101 Best Family Card Games" is a clear, consise and informative book. It explains the rules and course of play for many card games. The best part of the book is the section on why families should play together. I also found the card games explained in the "For the Family with Young Children" to be a great guide and a wonderful source for my young children.
