This book is a very rare, but worthwhile title. I, myself, have not even been able to complete it because the only copies I've seen it in now are so small that I can hardly make out the words! They're about two-by-two inches! It hurts my eyes and I just decided to stop where I was. From what I've read, it is a great book that brought old heroes and gods vividly back to life in my imagination. If anyone has an older copy, LARGER copy, please email me at Zell_D@iname.com.

This book is the most complete than it exists. It talk everything about the samoyed Speech on the history of the race, the pattern, nutrition, how a specialized judge to be in the race, how to select a puppy, how to train a samoyed, how to do grooming and triming, etc. Congratulations to the author of the book.

This book should set the standard for pathology color atlases and texts. The figures are excellent and the text provides a large amount of information and numerous references. Anyone working with mice in medical research should have this book.

Suitable for organic chemistry students taking a course on synthetic organic chemistry or asymmetric synthesis in upper division of graduate level, "Selectivity in Organic Synthesis" fills the gap between fundamental concepts and reactions of undergraduate organic chemistry text and the much-complicated journal articles that requires in-depth understanding of the chemistry. This book focuses on stereoselectivity of carbonyl compounds and alkene reactions - with clear explanations on kinetic resolution, symmetry and formation of chair-like transition states leading to the stereospecific products. The text, overall, is intended to be concise, readable and interesting.

Compared with the Aero series title about the Corsair this books stands out by beating the other on al fronts. It has one page more, but instead of five sideviews you get more than forty. It has more and better text and it has more photographs, though not all of the same quality as in the Maloney-Feist book. If your funds are not unlimited and if you had to choose between these two books when you come across them in a second-hand bookshop I would urge you to take this one.
By the way, it was published in Britain by Osprey as Aircam no.23 and in the States as Arco/Aircam no.28 by Arco Publishing. Together with the Maloney/Feist book and the two "Aircraft in Profile" publications it was pretty much all you could buy about this plane when I started reading about WW2 aviation. Since then a lot of books have been published, but no book has as yet rivalled this one in the amount of color side vews.

This work is worth reading as the writer shows imagination, ingenuity, and an ability to use the written word to create an image.

Mr. Ward's portrayal of his grandmother was extremely vivid. It brought back a whole flood of emotions that I had not felt in many years. I, too, had a Grandmother that exuded the subtle power of his. I feel that this book was a gem of which more people should be made aware. A very interesting and compelling story.

The book "Grace -- a fictional memoir" is a pleasant suprise indeed. I am amazed at the way the author captured the transfer and growth of Robert, and the way he evolved from his angst of adolesence. The character portrayals were vivid and touching. All-in-all, a very good book.

I recently read this aloud to a group of 50 second graders who were easily mezmerized by the high quality writing of Ms Weller. She is vivid in her imagery and invocation of color. The story is about an heroic dog. His heroism comes about because he is determined to be who he is and be put off by the restrictions that others would impose on him. Some look down on him because he is a dog. Others want to hold him back out of concern for his welfare. Rip will be who is his. It is a great book with a great message. The kids got it and loved it.

I picked up this book because we have a golden retriever, but I loved this book because of the memorable story & masterful illustrations. The pictures in this book are absolutely some of the best I have seen since Wesley Dennis. A must have for any family.

Ward and Smith present a very thorough overview on developing your own custom controls under Windows. Written for the 16-bit Windows interface, they cover static & dynamic controls, subclassing and virtual memory controls. I liked the chapter devoted to writing Dynamic Link Libraries (Dlls). Over 70% of the book is source code examples. A fantastic look at the inner workings of custom control interfaces. A must have reference.

This is a very well written, code-rich book. It is 16-bit based, but most of it (if not all) is directly useable under the 32-bit environment, I have it and use it all the time even though it's rather old now. In fact, it's good it's old, because there's none of the ActiveX/OLE/MFC etc., junk in there, it's all about good old C-API-based development.

OK, that said: what's that Booklist review up there doing on this page? Obviously it's not about this book; it's, I suspect, about a very nice Hammond organs book, which I happen to have as well -- and it's, no doubt, very good -- but why on this page?

Among all of Robert Kiyosakis' books, I consider this book as the best. This books explains why rich people get richer and the poor even poorer. It lays out the bare facts and goes in detail to explain the "E,S,B,I" classes and how to move from one class to the other. In this book, readers will learn how to build your income streams without paying taxes and how to grow your asset .The author repeatedly mentions the use of real estate to grow his wealth and the setting up of corporations to protect his asset. I giving this book 4 out of 5 because the author keeps repeating his points thoroughout the whole book. This tends to put you off and the constant comparison between his rich dad and poor dad which is also repeated makes it very predictable.

In spite of this flaw, this book should be read by all those who are want to have financial freedom. His methods may not be the norm but if you follow his rules, then the path becomes even closer.

When I pick up a book to read on wealth building by an entrepreneur and self-made millionaire, I don't care if it's written with wonderful prose and great story telling techniques. If I want that, I pick up that kind of book. That's just for all the cynics out there that I see commenting on his poor writing style and redundancy. There is redundancy, but to me there is so much information in this book that the redundancy (in most cases) helped to refresh my memory as new ideas accumulated. I am 19 years old, and currently in college. In other words, in the next few years life will begin. I don't want to face the same "real world" I see 95% of people I know face. This book has forever changed my impression on money making. Every word does not need to be taken to heart and this is not a book about following the authors. At the least it will open your eyes to how the world of money really works. I believe I owe this review to the author because I know he has forever changed how I think about the financial world. He has inspired me to read many other books on capitalism, etc. The problem for me is I can't get my friends to read this important life changing information. If only they would take the short amount of time it takes to read this conversational book. At the least, it will open your eyes. I can't stress the importance of this information. I know some of you may read this and say, "Oh, to be 19, so much to learn about the "real world." What do you have to lose? I guarantee, unless you're already a capitalist, you will learn something from this book and his others as well. This book is in some way redundant from the first, but also contains priceless basic information that I know many people today simply lack due to arrogance or business. One other point, if Robert Kiyosaki is a hugely successful capitalist, why would he even need to write these books? Yet he does. Yes, his books are a convenient medium for advertisement of his products, but maybe, just maybe, he's there to help. Also, since this review is already a book in itself, I would like to take the time to also thank the late Napoleon Hill for his book Think and Grow Rich, based on the Andrew Carnegie formula for success followed by at least 500 other successful business people in the earlier part of last century. I am currently a middle class citizen, but it does me no good to resent the rich. Why not ask yourself this question: How do the rich become rich? I wanted answers to that question a lot clearer than, "They're greedy" or "It's given to them." There are answers; these books begin with the foundations. There are many others to read as well. I have read the Millionaire Next Door, and I now wonder, is there a millionaire next door to me or an overextended hyper-consuming yuppie achieving the "status" and neglecting to ask him/herself, "How to the rich get rich." "Most millionaires don't drive new cars."

I'm in the middle of reading this book for the 7thtime since I bought it last year. This book has some really, reallygood meat in it. If you liked "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" you'll really like this book.

First of all, it's important to note that this isn't a "how to" book. Nobody's going to tell you how to get rich in a book costing less than ( )or for even more than that. What this book does is change the way you think. It's like in philosophy class where they teach you to ask questions. Too many of us are waiting for the answers without asking the right questions. This book offers many possibilities for making money. The real estate advice, albeit very general, is very common sense. I'm amazed at how many people buy real estate with a negative cash flow and call it an "investment." Kiyosaki explains that very clearly. It's common sense. That's all it is.

As for the particulary strong points in the book, I like his emphasis on methods of cash flow and the various tax implications of each one. I do, however, recommend that each person consult with tax advisers before venturing out in business. He doesn't like Subchapter S corporations, but I do, and I have one. I recommend them, but talk to your accountant. You're not going to get the Holy Grail for a few bucks.

I also like the attitude of the author toward money. He refrains from giving specific advice because, after all, each situation is different. He makes the reader think, and judging by the reaction of people I know who have read it, it causes quite a reaction, which brings me to the downsides...

The only downside to the book, and I'm still giving it 5 stars because it is an excellent book, is that the book almost causes people to think too much. Okay, let me explain that. Basically, the quadrants of cash flow are divided in half. There's money you earn as an employee and a self-employed individual and there's money you earn as a business owner and investor. It's great to move over to the business owner/investor side of making money, but let's be realistic. That takes time and a lot of patience. Many people after reading the book actually get frustrated because they have a job and think there's something wrong with that. There's nothing wrong with that. Take your time in adjusting your financial life. You don't have to quit your job or professional practice and move over to the other side right away. Earning money as a business owner and investor takes time. I think it is critical to differentiate between business owner and self-employed, and the author does a very good job of that. I can't summarize it here, but the book does a good job of that.

I remember two really good passages in the book which stuck out in my mind. The first was about how the author had achieved financial success, but nobody ever asked him how he achieved it, but they did ask him for one of two things or both: (1) a loan or (2) a job. I own a business, so I can relate to that. The other passage is where he points out that the average person gets up every morning to go to work and earn money to pay a mortgage, car payment, credit cards, etc., but in reality that person is working to make someone else rich. If you think about where your money is going every month, you'll realize the truth of that. It hit me right away.

This book is shockingly simplistic, so if you're looking for a complicated way to that royal road to riches, forget it. It's well worth reading several times. The lessons are so simple and yet so powerful. The only people who don't like this book are the people who enjoy paying their credit card payments every month. I think I might like to own a bank someday. END
