The text in paperback form was quite inexpensive. The book was organized into easily digestible chapters with insightful DSM classifications. The chapter on sexual disorders was quite explicit. Our instructor skipped it in lecture.

This is a childrens' book on dinosaurs for those with a serious interest in the subject. It's well-written and informative with excellent illustrations but fairly wordy, not for children under 8. I would especially recommend it for children living in Texas who can connect the book to their surroundings.

This book provides a very very good overview of fossils in all categories -dinosaur, reptiles, sharks, mammals, ferns, problematica, etc.

Nicely done with a very good color image of a representative fossil, as well as classification, a drawing of what the animal would look like, and typical size. This is true for every specimen.

Certainly depth of information is limited, however is still represented in small descriptions of habitat, locale, feeding habits, and occasionally quips of special interest.

Drawback is simply that more dinosaurs, reptiles, mammals could be represented. An inordinate amount of specimens are mollusks, snails etc.

However, again this book still does a good job of showing the many types of specimens in the fossil record which does grow on you.

A more extensive library of possible fossils could have been optioned to show a more choice fossil selection in some cases.

Good amount of information (concisely represented), with images and drawings very professionally done.

A larger, more in depth hardcover edition would be welcome.

This is the thrid and final book in a often detailed and sometime glossy overview of the last decade of the Doctor - the 1980's. The book chronicles the end of Tom Baker as the 4th Doctor and the rise of Peter Davidson as the 5th and the decline and fall of the series with Colin Baker (who in my book was never given the chance or the material to really shine) and Sylvester McCoy. The books gives behind the scenes details into the stories, the people, public intrest (and sometimes disinterest), as well as ending chapters on all the merchandise (with layouts and cool pictures) produced during the 1980's. As a whole the entire collection is a must for every Doctor Who fan, on it's own, the material is solid, well written and worth the price. The only downside perhaps is that the material can get a bit thin in places, and sometimes leaving wanting to know more. But this is not very often. Pick up the 1960's first to really get the full effect.

Chicago's Wild Onion, Ltd. is an investigative and security firm consisting of a lawyer and a private detective. Duggan and Kirsten are also happily married to one another except when she feels the restraints of their matrimonial binds. Those feelings often lead her to do flaky things.

Kirsten accepts the case of twenty-four-year-old Eudora Ragsdale, mother of twins, accused of absconding with $2000 raised to save Emerald Woods from developers. The case seems almost trivial until someone tries to kill Kirsten and her spouse. Another individual follows Kirsten until he is found murdered. It appears as if an unknown assailant will kill to insure plans for Emerald Woods are carried out, leaving the Wild Onion team to uncover the identity of the murderer before they are added to the count.

Well-written environmental mysteries are somewhat rare, but THE END OF EMERALD WOODS is an excellent example of what the sub-genre offers. Edgar nominee David J. Walker creates a fine mystery in his latest Wild Onions installment. However, as usual it is the intriguing married couple conducting business that turns this novel into a winner.

This collection of essays by some of our best contemporary poets--including Donald Hall, Denise Levertov, Galway Kinnell, and Charles Wright--is quite simply the best guide to postmodern poetics available. The chapters on the creative process and the poetic line are especially useful, providing excellent resources for instructors and students of poetry workshops.

I thought the problem supplement to Resnick/Halliday was very good. There are simply not enough problems in the text book itself so this problem supplement not only gives problems to work on but it really touches on all bases as far as making sure it looks at all aspects of the material. I'd say, any one learning physics from Resnick/Halliday must have this book.

This book covers bone biology, bone structure and function (particularly useful are the drawings of muscle attachments), and the interpretation of bones (age, sex, race, stature, trauma, disease, etc.). A very good book to gain understanding of why bones have the morphology they do.

This is a very good book for those people who wish to learn more about Medieval Wales. Dr. Walker goes through the history of Wales chronologically, and at the same time also does a great job of dividing the chapters. By doing this, the reader can go either straight to a certain time frame, or a certain topic, without having to read all the other stuff. For example, I wrote a term paper about King Edward's conquest of Wales and invasion of Scotland for a Medieval History term paper in college. Instead of having to read through the book until I got to the part I needed, I just went straight to the topics of use to me. I skipped reading what I didn't need, and hence saved a great deal of time. For only being a couple of hundred pages long, there is a great deal of detail about many facets of medieval Wales. I strongly recommend this book to anybody who's interested in the topic.

In Chicago, Malachy Foley tries to regain his license to practice law in the State of Illinois, but he deals poorly with the bureaucracy, which in turn delays his achieving his objective. Five years ago, Mal refused to reveal what his client confided in him despite a State Supreme Court order stating that this was not privileged information. Three people including a cop subsequently died. Mal lost his license and turned to private investigating work.

Besides his inability to cooperate with the bureaucracy, someone does not want Mal to petition for his license while other individuals try to assist the barred attorney. Everything returns to the case that started Mal's downfall when it went bad for everyone except for one person who cleverly escaped with five hundred thousand dollars and plenty of cocaine to sell. That individual is willing to kill to insure Mal never uncovers the full truth.

The fourth Mal Foley tale, NO SHOW OF REMORSE, provides greater insight into the values and principles of the key character than the previous books. However, as the audience learns more about Mal, the story line takes a bit slower to leave the launch pad. Once the plot attains orbit, it never slows down as readers gain a novel that switches from a character study to an action packed who-done-it. David J. Walker entertains his fans with a strong private investigative tale with some touches of a legal procedural that adds spice to the fine mix.
