Great Prevention Book
Covers everything from a child's parents, relatives, friends to strangers. Not many books will cover all aspects of how to teach a child body safety. I recommend this book to anyone with children and those who interact with children.

PHESANT HUNTERS THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU!!!
Please excuse my spelling, it's terrible This book is terrific. I started reading this book and couldn't put it down. It is a fine collection of stories ranging from the great soilbank days when Kansas alone had 4 million birds to the Royal hunts in Europe where an average daily bag mesaures in the thousands, It has stories more like mine where the average hunt ends with tired dogs and few birds. The book through it's many differant authors also explores the ethics associated with hunting. This book is for the bird hunter who's cleaning his gun for the third time this week when hunting season isn;t for 6 months. It's for the guy who can't stop dreaming of how his new pup will do his first time out. It's for the guy who spends more time with his dogs than with his wife. All hunters will enjoy this book, but the true bird hunter won;t be able to put it down.

Good if you have it, but not necessary
It is a great book if you like the idea of coloring (or you liked when you were in kindergarden) and also the theorical information at the side of each slide is very helpful when studying the subject. It is a good addition to your library, but if you'd have to buy a companion to your classes, buy "Clinical Microbiology Made Ridiculously Simple" by Gladwin and Tattler. In short, a good book that makes the subject more interesting.

great learning aid
This is a great learning tool to help memorize key microbes and other needed material. Visual learning is so much easier and more fun because facts stick to your brain more. I also used the following which is also sold on amazon.com:
Microbiology Study Guide: Key Review Questons and Answers (ISBN: 0971999635)
The second book helped me to know the kind of questions to prepare for on my exams. I am a undergraduate student and found both books very helpful. In fact, I got a 93 average in my college microbiology class.

great book
This is a great book! It makes everything simple, which is the best way to learn

Battlelords is one of the best RPG's ever!
The very best thing about this RPG has to be the character races. No other game I've seen has such original, and fully developed characters. The Eridani sword saint, all the way to the feministic Cizaracks.
One of the other great qualities about the game is the prices for the supplements. My friends all seem to baulk when I tell them I bought all of the books for less than $... For most RPG's it would take a life time to afford all of the supplements.

Still Great after 10 years
Battlelords is still an amazing RPG after 10 years. My friends and I have played countless other games, but this is the one we keep coming back too. It's easy to play, easy to learn, and lots of fun. If you could own only 1 sci-fi RPG, this would have to be the one.

Great Sci-Fi RPG
Battlelords is one of 2 sci-fi rpg's that, after playing rpg's for almost 20 yrs, I can honestly say is a great game. The system is easy to use and understand, the wide variety of races (complete with histories and profiles), and equipment make Battelords a game that will keep both players and Battlemaster entertained for years.

Outstanding Blackack Book
Playing Blackjack As a Business is one of the best books ever written on card counting. It is very comprehensive listing basic to advanced card counting strategies. Perhaps the greatest benefit is the author's decades of personal experience in playing and winning using the strategies presented in the book. The book is, I believe largely if not wholly accurate. (The basic strategy charts are amongst the most accurate in existence!) Lawrence Revere stresses the importance of discipline and practice and that, regardless of one's skill, there will always be occasions when you lose sessions of play. The book is useful for an intermediate card counter and an excellent place to start if you're a newcomer.

One Of The Best Books Available For Learning Basic Strategy
I first read this book in 1975 in my quest to become an accomplished card counter. At that time and even today it is the best book I read on learning the fundamentals of card counting. The part of the book on learning Basic Strategy and its importance are the best of any book available on the marketplace even today in 2001. At that time the author Lawrence Revere was selling his Advanced Point Count System and other BJ systems. He overrated his Advanced Point Count System. He had used Juliet Braun a computer programmer with IBM to compile all the data in devising this system. What he says about the Advanced Point Count System is way overrated and the majority of top expert BJ authorities believe the simple point count system as being the best because of its simplicity. Other than that the book is a classic and very well written. It is a must for anyone who wants to learn to be an expert card counter and I would rate it as a five star recommendation.

This is THE BEST beginners book.
I've used this book for years as a reference before going anywhere I play Blackjack. Mr. Revere provided color coded, easily understood charts and tables for single and mulitple deck games. He gives basic strategy for each as well as several simple to advanced counting strategies. His rules regarding bet size, betting and playing time are rules to survival at the tables. I may not be getting kicked out of casinos, but I leave with their money 4 out of 5 times and the losses are pocket change compared to the winnings. Mr. Revere has since died, but his knowledge of blackjack is as true today as it was over 20 years ago.

Title promises, but book doesn't deliver.
Doesn't this book sound like a battle plan for investment success, maybe one filled with value-based accounting lessons? It's not.

In fact, we are spared math, and we are not given practical counsel, either. That was what I looking for, as the title suggests. The title should be How Can The Smart Money Be So Dumb.

Instead, this is an interesting run-through of recent horror stories on Wall Street from the Internet bubble to IPO's to pro forma accounting and Enron. Behavioral finance is discussed here, but Why Smart People Make Big Money Mistakes by Gary Belsky and Thomas Gilovich is far superior.

Or read Buffett: The Making of an American Capitalist by Roger Lowenstein. Or John Neff On Investing instead.

Mr. Cunningham is one of the new wave of Buffett explainers. (Where were you people 15 years ago when there was money to be made buying Berkshire?) And why does someone so incisive, so downhome funny as Mr. Buffett need so much explanation?? (Try Cunningham's The Essays of Warren Buffett: Lessons for Corporate America or the Berkshire Hathaway annual report.)

Unfortunately, the author lets slip his idea of a five-year holding period for stocks. That may turn out to be good advice, but which stocks would he choose to hold? We have no idea. (Tech stocks, big winners 2 years ago, have crashed back down to their 1997 prices. And non-tech Walt Disney is well below its 1997 prices.)

I think Mr. Cunningham is an extremely brave and patient investor.

Barron's Is Right: Top Book of 2002
I read Cunningham's book based on the review in Barron's rounding up the best investment books of 2002. They were right. The book is a eye-opening intro to the psychology of investing, important to investors and market observers/regulators. (Cunningham's other books have more of the basics for investors--also very good books.)

Great Book (Odd Title)
Awesome. Cunningham dissects the woes besetting corporate American using lucid, concrete examples, with boundless energy and enthusiasm, endorsed properly on the back cover by those who take behavioralism seriously, including Gary Belsky, who wrote the top-seller "Why Smart People Make Big Money Mistakes" (which is about general habits, not investment philosophy of which Cunningham writes) and Robert Hagstrom, prolific author (who writes about investment philosophy, and sometimes behavioralism). What an astonishing record Cunningham has developed as a writer and expert in invesetment theory and practice! A better title for this book would be Rational Investing in a Hair Brained Environment; the one chosen is unduly flashy for the seriousness of Cunningham's pursuits (he's a professor of law and business!).

A great start- undeniably accurate
My grandmother used to read cards - she wouldn't read for anyone except for me and my sister. And even when she did read, I knew she only mentioned the good. She never taught me how though. I think that she wanted to protect me - not wanting me to know of anything bad that would happen. I love her for that. She recently passed and since then, I have felt this unexplainable connection... I've always believed in the 'paranormal', these unexplainable things that happen to us. Those of us who are open and accepting- well, we encounter (I think notice would better describe it) it much more often than those who do not believe.

Well, I decided to see what I could find as far as books are concerned. I bought the book and found it amazing that although the types of spreads Chita uses and describes are completely different than those of my grandmother's, the cards I do remember the meanings to match perfectly! The book is not the end all for the craft, for the serious readers/students much more learning and intuition development is in the road ahead.

I would definitely recommend this book as a good starting point. My first reading using Chita's layouts and interpretations was undeniably accurate.

Buy the book, and keep an open mind!

Great Book!
This book is the best! I first got it at the library and after reading it, I didn't want to give it back. A few years later I brought it from (local store) and I'm glad I did. Since then I have done readings for people and they all tell me how acurate they are. I enjoy telling fortunes a lot and it has become a hobby that I'll never give up!
