It should be called "Patriots and Portraits". I have the book and went to see the show, but the title is a misnomer. You will be very disappointed if you are looking for N. C. Wyeth's pirate paintings. The are no Pirate paintings. The N.C. Wyeth paintings are mainly war and patriotic painting. The Jamie Wyeth paintings are mainly portraits of patriots.

This book shows the comparison of grandfather (N.C) and grandson's (Jamie) work. An excellent study. I have always considerend N.C.'s work superior to any of the other Wyeths, Andrew specifically and in particular. This book pretty much affirms it. Check it out.

The descriptions of each play are rather superficial- appropriate mainly for younger readers. The illustrations are amusing and pleasant, but there are very few lavish ones such as those found in other books by James Christensen. The cover art is deceiving in this respect. Those that are included are breathtaking. I do feel it is worth the modest price.

I have the pleasure of having an autographed copy of this book.

It is illustrated with all the style one expects of a man of Mr. Christensen's great talent. He is indeed a truly creative and enlightening artist.

However the text is "Will Light". Unless you are familiar with the works of the Bard you would be much better off buying a scholarly book by Asimov if you want to understand the works of William Shakespeare.

But Renwick St. James writes a simple explanation of the plays and sonnets for those who need an introduction to them.

I guess I like to get my introduction to the works at the Shakespeare Festivals (such as where I purchased Mr.Christensen's book).

James intoduce you in the world of imagination and fantasy. The best artist in the fantasy universe. This book is the perfect conbination of an artist and writer.

Very few surgical fields demand a complete and comprehensive knowledge of the entire human body. Plastics and reconstructive surgery is right up there when it comes to that. A successful Plastic surgeon incorporates knowledge of Gross anatomy, microscopic anatomy, tissue physiology, physiology of the patient itself and the innate aesthetic sense to recreate from tissue and prosthesis alike.

Grabb and Smith's text offers a comprehensive and engaging review of the essential aspects of Plastic surgery. Each Chapter starts with a review of clinical anatomy and leads on to Clinical aspects of diease. Historically important surgical approaches as well as current techniques are discussed. Disease classification is also described in excellent details through the use of tables.

I do firmly believe that this book is a worthwhile investment of time and money.

When I received the Book with Cd I thought that Cd will contain some interactive materials or MCQ self test kind. To find the CD as exact version of the book makes me wonder whats the idea behind.

Cary Prague pretends to bring beginners to the intermediate/advanced level. After reading many times the first introduction of VBA and other examples, I would conclude that is easier to learn it from another source. He spends very few pages trying to cover a lot of information. In summary his introduction is confusing. The phase when he describes his secrets, he does it clearly and neatly. Expect to learn: 1. Use MSGraph in Access, 2. Create customized Import/Export functions not using the wizards of the DOCMD.TRANSFER... command. 3. to administer security. 4. to create beautiful toggle switches and buttons. 5. a little about DAO properties for querydefs, and tabledefs. Do I recommend it? If you want to learn to use MSGraph in Access the way you do it in Excel or if you want to learn how to manipuate events to make your form more dynamic my answer is YES. otherwise NO I think there are other books that could teach more VBA and Access programming using DAO.

An excellent review of flap (local and regional) surgery.

Good for the senior resident and junior attending level.

This biography by Willam Rives is essential to comprehending the massive, and understated contribution of James Madison. The dominance of writing, concerning the 1790s, seems to center on a Hamilton v Jefferson scenario. Through these pages, the recent efforts by Rosen, and others to revive the Madisonian logic, gains new merit and weight. The massive contribution of Madison, as architect, defender, and executor of the Constitution, is revealed, by a partisan, of Madisonian thought. Campebell Rives's speech before the 22nd Congress 2nd session, remains one of the most outstanding reflections of original intent of the framers concerning State v National powers in our history, which bolstered by his proximity to Madison, should be read by anyone seriously considering the issue. An outstanding must, for anyone who seriously wishes to comprehend the issue of federalism.

When evidence comes to light that maybe we don't know EVERYTHING about the gospels scholars, like attack dogs they tear apart, discredit, or out and out LIE to the public to keep there dogma.This book happens to be a very in-depth source of information. it wasn't the easiest read unless you are a theology major some passages do not make sense to the layperson.Anybody who has studied the bible knows the gospels aren't without mistakes and rewrites by scholars and this book helps us know more about the religon that changed the world!

It's a hardcover, so not the most comfortable field guide to throw in a backpack, but I don't have any other complaints about this book.

Animal profiles are accompanied by excellent color photographs, basic statistics about each animal (distribution, habitat, abundance, etc.), and a shaded map outlining just where each animal's distribution is. Entries for each animal are detailed enough, but don't seem to go on so long that a person would lose interest.

One more gripe: pictures of the animals feet, so that pawprints could be identified easily, would have been a welcome inclusion here. The Simon and Schuster's Guide To Mammals, by Boitani, is an inexpensive book that includes this feature. It might be a helpful second book to get on the topic.

It's an exciting book for young naturalists, too, who will likely get stirred up just by seeing some of the photos (star-nosed mole, northern flying squirrel, big brown bat, etc.).

Essays on conservation, the region, and tips on observation precede the main body of the book. The essays are short and well-written. They should be helpful to anyone who wants to scout out some mammals in the Carolinas, Virginia, or Maryland.

My grandmother was one of the authors of this book, but that isn't the reason I like this book. The book has a lot on my ancestors, and it is so cool to learn where I cam from. I definatly think that if you live in the low country, it is worth reading.

I knew nothing about designing databases before picking up this book. This book is fantastic, it lays out the information in a way that is easy for people who are not computer savy to understand. It covers essentially everything you want to know about tables, queries, forms, reports and macros but only scratches the surface of modules/VBA. If your looking for a book that covers VBA this is not the book for you. After 3 months I not only learned Access but built a pretty savy database at work. I definitely recommend this book to all beginners and people who just want to improve their database design. Overall very pleased with the book.

I purchased the Access 97 Bible awhile back and feel it is a great book for novice Access users such as myself. I needed to get up and running with Microsoft Access and wanted a book with good examples on building an access database. This was the book for me.

I felt the authors did a wonderful job of explaining complex, technical topics so that they were easy to understand and comprehend.

Unlike many technical books, this book contains many pictures and examples which helped me to understand the topics covered in the book. I did find some inconsistencies with some of the items on the CD, but a quick email to the author resolved my problems. They were very helpful on answering my questions with the book as well as other questions I had on Access.

Overall, I would recommend this book to anyone who is looking to learn about Microsoft Access and building database in Access.

I learned Access 97 pretty well from this book. I would recommend it for any beginner. I had almost no experience with Access before this. It covers just about every topic, and has plenty of screen shots and step-by-step instructions. It gives a good overview of more advanced topics as well, including 2 chapters on Macros, 1 chapter on web pages, and 2 chapters on VBA. I'll probably pick up another book to learn more about VBA.

One complaint though, the CD-ROM didn't coincide very well with some parts of the book. It has a great example database, but some instructions didn't work exactly the way they were supposed to with it. I think publishers should just put there files for download on a web site. That way they could be updated easily. Also, I like it when a publisher posts "errata" (error corrections) to their books on a web site. As far as I know...only Wrox does these things.
