es un libro muy didáctico, con un contenido secuencial apropiado y con la información requerida por todo profesional para racionalizar sus procedimientos operatorios. lo considero excelente; por esa razón es el libro de texto guia en los seminarios de biomateriales y operatoria en los programas de posgrado de la facultad de odontología de la Universidad de Antioquia

This book is a must read. It is at the cutting edge of describing concepts, theories and practices across all the disabilities and the gifted/talented.

Dr. Tompkins is a world-renowned authority, with over 30 years of experience in the field.

First rate tour guide of Midwestern and Southwestern crime scene sites of all our favorite 1930's bank robbing outlaws: Dillinger, Pretty Boy Floyd, Baby Face Nelson, Bonnie and Clyde, the Barker-Karpis gang, Machine Gun Kelly, plus other now forgotten but major figures such as Harvey Bailey and Wilber Underhill. Lots of great historical photos plus the sites as they appear today. Want the lowdown on your hometown's most famous bank robbery or shootout? It's probably here. Also includes neat chronologies and a tribute to the lawmen killed. For the novice it's a great introduction to the Gangster Era and for the serious researcher it's both a worthwhile tool and a nice addition to the true crime library.

you can't to read all books of Joyce. You can to read only "Giacomo Joyce" and you'll understand of Joyce in whole

In line with much of the new non-fiction surveys and studies, the book, in short essays gives the picture on much information that I have not seen before on the Gold Rush and the aftermath. In particular it gives a reader a chance to compare the Internet investment frenzy with the Gold Mine stocks frenzy in the 1860s & 70s.

The information is concise and beautifully and fascinatingly written.

This is a great book to read with great pictures. Lots of good info about how the cars were designed, what the market was like at the time and how the cars performed. I wish the publisher made a book like this for the 70's also...

I participated in a beta test of the photometry software program and proof-read a draft of this excellent book. The book alone is worth the price, but the amazing value is the powerful software package included, AIP4WIN. It does so many image processing tasks- photometry, astrometry, spectroscopy, color pictures, image sharpening - with several deconvolution routines. This is much more than a toy (but you certainly can have fun with it) as it supports routine image processing of hundreds of images per night. The software alone is worth several times the price of the book. Anyone interested in putting a CCD camera to serious work - or serious fun - will certainly get their money's worth with this package! Berry and Burnell have a really excellent effort here.

Coming out of RazorBlade Press, Hideous Progeny is one monstrously beautiful anthology that explores the world as it would have been if Dr. Victor Frankenstein's gruesome experiments had not gone awry. Writers such as Tim Lebbon, Peter Crowther, Steven Volk, Steve Rasnic Tem, and Rhys Hughes (to name just a few) each donate a small literary organ to the mix, and everything is skilfully stitched together into a marvellous book by first-time editor Brian Willis.

Cosmetically, the book is a two-face: while cover design by Chris Nurse is nothing short of outstanding, the internal layout is not without blemish. For example, outside margins are too wide, story titles are not always at the same height in the page, and the author's name is italicised in some but not all of the instances. Another gripe I have is that page numbers on the right-hand pages are left-aligned; plus, headers have no indication about the stories presented below them: these will give you a bad time if you want to riffle through the book to look up a specific something. There are a few extra typesetting warts and moles as well, as I noticed some characters showing up in a different size than the rest of the text, uneven spacing between words, typos derived from bad OCR, and so on. I sincerely encourage RazorBlade Press to pay more attention to internal design in the future, and run a few spell checks as well. Still, don't let appearances fool you, because the writing on these pages is top-notch.

In the whole, I was not in the least disappointed by Hideous Progeny while expecting quality work. Many short stories surprised me by their original angles, and all are very well written. The subjects are quite varied too, although some do overlap a little - it seems inevitable given the limitations inherent to their collective premise. I have my favourites, of course: Peter Crowther's piece is shocking yet touching at the same time, and the idea behind "Mad Jack" is a simple but nevertheless brilliant one. "The Banker of Ingolstadt" is perhaps the funniest in the book, and I found Steven Volk's "Blitzenstein" to rank among the best.

Whatever shortcomings the book has, they're quickly overwhelmed by the superb fiction it it, not to mention a downright gorgeous cover. For £6.99, it's well worth getting Hideous Progeny: not only will you be adding a fine specimen of a book to your library, you'll also be helping small press business to thrive. Because I want to see more from RazorBlade Press. Oh yeah.

I got this book recently for a friends kids (twelve years old) birthday present. It got a casual thank you and put aside for the other action toys, video games and the like. About 2 weeks ago my friend rang me and said that his son had picked up the book, started to read it and was hooked, he is right into the book now. He is building the toys in the book himself (with his dads help) and has the hang of it so much he even attempted to create his own optical illusions.
