This book is a good starting place for those just entering the world of Tribal Law. This a college freshman level book. Not for heavy-duty legal scholars. I like it because it shows the clear lineage of Treaties, the Constitution, and key US Supreme Court decisions from the earliest days (Colonial days) to now.

While The Waterfalls of Slunj held my attention until its end, it was ultimately a bit disappointing as a novel. The most interesting aspect of the book is its depiction of the mixture of cultures and nationalities in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. However, perhaps precisely because of the author's effort to capture a whole social milieu, the individual characters remain somewhat undeveloped and the plot is strangely disjointed. Still, on the whole I found The Waterfalls to be an enjoyable period piece and an illuminating portrait of a fascinating time and place. And what other book are you likely to read whose title contains the word "Slunj"?

As a dental hygiene student, the Dental Hygiene Handbook is a great reference book. It is set up with charts and outline form for easy reading. I would recommend this book to all hygienge students. It is easier to look something up in the handbook then to search 10 text books you've bought for school.

Just received this book for Christmas. What a colorful, fun book about being teased. This will really fit in with my character education curriculum. I can't wait to read it to my kindergarten class in Santa Clara, CA. Ray Ellis, Kindergarten Teacher

I just dont get the appeal of this book, I'm sorry. For the most part, all it contains is a bunch of detailed plot information (yes Virginia, including key plot twists and endings) and very little information as to if the movies were any good! Yes, he has some special lists ("movies that rip"), but just not enough. I wanted this book as a reference to all of the HK movies out there, so I could see what was good before plunking down my cash on them - after reading about a few movies, I felt I no longer needed to buy them because I had already seen them. There are much better options.

This book is only helpful for those with little knowledge of Hong Kong films. It's more playful than artistic, yet there are some helpful film reviews included. Some of the information is outdated: Web sites, where to buy HK films, etc..., but if your new to HK films and are interested in the pop culture gems that come out of Hong Kong, then check this book out. For those interested in a more in-depth look at Hong Kong films, I recommend City on Fire, by Lisa Stokes and Micheal Hoover.

Memo to the reader from Denver: did you read the same book I did? Yeah, I'll admit that I wish the authors hadn't gone into quite so much detail about the plots, but how can you say they didn't review any of the films? The authors' enthusiasm for this exhilarating subsection of filmdom permeates every sentence herein; everything they write is filtered through their opinions, which are mostly positive, because, as they explain in the intro, they put the spotlight on the films they loved the most. With the exception of the informative sidebars, there's nothing BUT reviews here.

I love this book. It's not meant to be an HK film encyclopedia, just a feet-wetting introduction to an unjustly overlooked body of work. As that, it's nearly perfect.

This book gives you very quick (and not terribly useful science reviews) and a bunch of practice questions, which are useful as drills but nothing like the MCAT questions. It's not really worth the money unless you like doing lots of short answer drills to help you memorizations

I think the book is on fact very good, without getting lost in the details, it focuses on the concepts and thinking, something that most MCAT books on the market fail to do. True, the book does not have as many practice questions and passages as it should, but if you want practice, I suggest picking up Columbia Review Practice Tests.

I received these tapes as a Christmas present - at that time I was 16 weeks pregnant. I have used the tapes fairly regularly, even though I have found a few things about them offputting. Nevertheless, I have found them to be helpful in teaching me basic hypnosis techniques.

Here are my criticisms. First of all, a male voice doesn't carry the same authoritative clout on a childbirth tape as a female voice. I have a hard time believing that he really understands what he is telling me since there's no way he can ever experience it for himself. Second, he mentions at one point that the listener should "loosen ties and belts". That seemed extremely out of place in that context! I don't know any pregnant women who are in the habit of wearing a tie or a belt! And finally, sometimes his verbal flow is not smooth. This is not a major criticism, but still bears mentioning.

(...)

I used this tape starting late in my pregnancy with great results. I was very relaxed through my labor and although I wouldn't say it was pain-free I think that it really helped to relax me. I would recommend it to anyone- just start early in your pregnancy.

This is not due to Seller, I just don't like the book. I am not a transcriptionist.

Stedman's "Radiology Words" is a stellar imaging word reference for the radiology transcriptionist. Being a full-time radiology transcriptionist and having used Stedman's second edition for many years with extremely favorable results, I can only state emphatically that this current edition has greatly improved by bringing the vastly burgeoning radiological terminology up to date. Imaging modalities have exponentially increased since the last Stedman's Radiology word reference [1995], and with it, the imaging vernacular has exploded. This third edition has accomplished its mission.

Many more diagnostic and interventional terms are at hand, as well as mammographic, CT, MRI, nuclear medicine, ultrasonographic and neuroradiological terms. All, of course, are thoroughly cross-referenced.

Additionally, five handy appendices are added: 1) 19 pages of anatomical illustrations, the first 5 pages of which demonstrate anatomical planes/positions, 2) 4½ pages of various contrast media, 3) common radiological oncologic terms, 4) sample radiology reports [14, mind you] ranging from the simplest to nuclear medicine/MRI/CT, etc., and 5) common terms of procedures.

This nearly 1000-page imaging tome is the tops! I would strongly recommend this reference to anyone involved in imaging transcription.

I'm very disappointed: I've bought this book hoping to find the advertized help about Win2K policies but all I've got about this subject is ONE chapter, 30 pages or so over 500 in the book. It looks like this chapter has been put into the book after the book itself was already done: infact, except for the specific chapter, the book always talks about the forthcoming Windows NT 5 operating system... Don't call it Windows 2000 System Policies, call it Windows 9X and NT with a quick and incomplete look to Windows 2000.

Well ok, it is also the first book dedicated to the subject I've read as well. Having always dug through Tech Net articles or the one or two chapters most books give to system policies and profiles (and don't even get me started on the lousy Resource Kits) it was very refreshing to have such a well done book on the subject.

The author covers Win NT4, Win 9x and Win2K. He's documented all the exceptions and changes the Resource Kits do not. Mr. Wilkins even manages to write in a style approachable to both the new administrator as well as the seasoned one. If you are going to roll out policies/profiles get this book.

The Southern Poverty Law Center's Intelligence Report, a newsletter devoted to monitoring and exposing hate groups, has published an article on Steven Wilkins, the author of this book. A look at the article might help prospective buyers understand where Wilkins is coming from.

Modern evangelical Christians are quick to make absolute statements about the teaching in John 9:3 and assure us that when something bad happens God and sin had nothing to with it. But biblical Christians know that God works IN HISTORY with the nations covenantally (Deuteronomy 28). When buildings fall down, the humble, God-fearing man's first instinct is to question whether God is judging us. The proud fool says, without thinking about it, God is as sad as we are.
This book is a great step toward understanding the covenantal history and status of our country. The mess we are in will never be fixed by some great new church planting scheme or any other hairbrained ministry inovation. We must look to the old paths.
As has been stated, this issue is far more complicated than a small book like this can handle. A good way to look further into this subject would be to read the primary sources they site. Other sources that have helped me are Rousas Rushdoony's lecture series on American History and Wilkin/Wilson history conferences available at canonpress.org.

BTW - I expect the slanders to come from the unbelieving corners. But Christians who would accuse these men of being racist, white supremesists, or assume they have any similar agenda ought to be ashamed and repent of their slander.

A government-schooled person must start somewhere, and this short booklet is a great place to begin a search for truth. Read with an open mind and learn that lands are invaded for their wealth, and that politicians must always find a "moral" cause for their destruction. Let this be the first step in your search for truth, and then quickly move on to other such works such as "The Sterling Nobility of Robert E. Lee", also by one of the authors.
