A Subject of Mutual Interest
One can imagine that I, as a small child living in San Antonio, Texas, next to three Air Force bases and an Army base, living through the Cuban missile crisis, thought about the threat of the Russian military. I also met my parents' wonderful emigre' friends, and to this day have had warm relations with Russian people. This book tells of the enormous cost to the Russian people of building and ...

It is well organized, succinct and provides valuable background information to both to each class of drugs and individual medications. It combines a clear format for easy access to information as well as valuable clinical and pharmacological information. I have found this book to be useful both as a reference for ...

Refreshing!
I found this book to be very refreshing and uplifting as well as erotic. He uses eroticism just enough to get you to the edge without KNOCKING you over. My favorite by far was Check One, because of its simplicity. Love it!

A great resource for PHP programmers
I saw this book on a friends desk and shamelessly took it before he had a chance to read it. I have many php books on my bookshelf, too many. I can now remove quite a few and replace them with this book. When I first glanced through this book, I was intrigued by the way it was laid out. There are 12 chapters covering many topics that php programmers should know about their language and how ...

Miracles I have Seen
Just wanted to say this is one of my favorite books. I very much like books regarding real people and their Christian lives. This one is special because of the man himself. I have brought several of these books and give them to friends so they can enjoy hopefully as much as I have. Mr. Ward grew up and lived in my area of the U.S. which made it even more interesting and relevant to me. ...

Springer

Excellent introduction and review
The publication of this book has been highly anticipated by many in the emerging field of public health informatics and it does not disappoint. Although seemingly targeted at those new or recently introduced to the discipline, or those "crossing over" from other areas within the broader informatics arena, content is very well-suited for all comers, with sufficient detail to satisfy even those ...

This gorgeous Viking book ranks with the best
What a complete package! Absolutely loaded with huge beautiful pictures of everything from ancient maps to medieval Scandinavian jewelry to charts of what individual experts think the Vikings dubbed "Vinland", this book has it all. Someone familiar with the subject will find it gorgeously re-introduced in this extremely professional layout, and yet anyone new to the subject will find this book to ...

Tomorrow's Transportation:Chngng Cities,Economies,&Lives
This is a remarkable book about the future of transportation and its interactions with the economy, society, and technology. The authors obviously have an encyclopedic knowledge of the transportation sectors covered here, but the material is presented in a lighthearted way that is both informative and entertaining. The chapters are short and easy to absorb. I so enjoyed reading the book ...

Beautiful
What it was like to be 19 in the 1950's in the Midwest...excellent book, especially for those of us who lived through the era at the same age (albeit on the East Coast). A great story, well-written, which makes you think and remember with pleasure and the occasional wince what it was like in that era to be on the cusp of manhood, and then just past it.
Poems of Sidney Lanier

William H. Ward
Arden Library

An invaluable reprint of the 1916 edition.
This is an invaluable reprint of the 1916 edition of Mary Lanier's 1884 collection, which is only marred by a certain over-solicitousness for the poet's fame that depreciates the early poems and the jolly, Twainy "dialect" poems, whice rise to Frost in "Thar's more in the Man than thar is in the Land." Sidney Lanier saw the Real through "Christ's crystal" clear as the great fourth stanza of "Song ...

Environmental hydrology is an excellent text for undergraduate engineering students taking their first-course in hydrology. Now, as a practicing professional, I use this book regularly as a desk reference.
Haint: A Tale of Extraterrestrial Intervention and Love Across Time and Space

It really explains a lot...
As a person who has two Weimaraners I am a bit biased, but I thought that this book answered a lot of questions about these "grey ghosts" and their haunting expressions. The story was engaging and believable (and very scary). Told from two viewpoints, one a human and one a Weimaraner named Haint, the story came together beautifully. I only wish that there had been time to get to know the ...
Uncle Tom's Cabin (Signet classics)

A towering, very important American classic
For whatever reasons, I'm one of those who, over the years, never gave "Uncle Tom's Cabin" much thought. I'm afraid I dismissed the book based on the derogatory cliche of describing a complacent black man as an Uncle Tom. What a pleasure to find how wrong I was. Although the style of narration, the punctuation style of the day and the evolution of contractions, compound words and other bits of ...
