interesting and obscure text
I found out about this book only because I am a resampling methods author and was discussing resampling one time with the a faculty member of the Statistics Department at UCLA. Apparently they use it for the introductory statistics course that they give. It is unusual in taking a resampling approach to elementary statistics. The late Julian Simon at University of Maryland was the only other ...

You'll NEVER look at dinosaurs the same way AGAIN!
When I was a young teenager who was really into dinosaurs, I discovered this very curious and mysterious book all about dinosaurs in a local library near my home. It was oh, so lavishly illustrated by the reowned fantasy artist, William Stout and this means it is simply NOT still another scientific book on prehistoric life. Instead, it is a very intimate insight into the lives of each of your ...

an excellent continuation of _The Emerald Wand of Oz_
I really liked Smith's _The Emerald Wand of Oz_, in which readers were introduced to Em and Dori, two modern-day descendents of Dorothy Gale of Kansas. Like Dorothy, Em and Dori are blown into Oz by a tornado and have many adventures there before returning home. _Trouble Under Oz_ follows the further adventures of Dori and Em and some of the Ozians they met in the first book. When they ...

When it's over, you'll be a "little blue!"
Forget "Jurassic Park," "We're Back!," or "Land Before Time" I through VII. For a truly wondrous dino-adventure, dig up a copy of "The Little Blue Brontosaurus." The voice-acting is stellar, and the music and sound effects pull you right into the lush jungles of the early Cretaceous Period! When Li'l Blue faces off against the mighty Gorgosaurus, I had to cover my eyes, even though it was only ...

Houghton Mifflin, 1998

Story of human struggle for identity and manhood.
Hurray for Moehringer! I bought this book for my dad- and avid sports fan and reader- and found myself enthralled in this particular story. I'm not a sports fan myself- which has always created a gap in my relationship with my father; but the human struggle for identity- and manhood- so clear and crisp and beautifully written has given me a new understanding of sports- and my father.

Cowboys With Chrome Horses
The first book to explain the historical interlacing of the independant American spirit with the allure of that most enigmatic machine, the motorcycle. Everyone who rides understands this sense of spirit and freedom. Bad boys on bad toys was a fiction created by the meida. The intertwining of that fiction with the rise in popularity of the era of the cowboy is explored historically and ...

Doing Good Architecture
This is a big, beautiful book portraying the works of an architect who strived not to design monuments with a signature style, but instead create wonderful places that fit their landscape. The book chronicles twenty of Turnbull's projects beginning with the Sea Ranch Condominium (with MLTW) and ending with Turnbull and his wife's own weekend retreat, Teviot Springs Vineyard. All but one of the ...

The Emerald Wand of Oz

Sherwood Smith

HarperCollins, 2005

Solid Introduction to Oz for the new generation
This first of a projected series of Oz books serves as an excellent introduction to young readers who have probably seen the 1939 film, and possibly knew that L. Frank Baum wrote a book about Oz, but have no idea that other Oz books exist. The opening begins in Oz, introducing two strong female characters, one familiar from the movie (Glinda) and one not (Ozma)--and then shifts to two sisters ...

Statistics: The Craft of Data Collection, Description, and Inference

Mobius Communications, 2000

Lacking
The fact that I seem to be statistically challenged may be the cause of a clouded review; however, I feel that this book leaves out a great deal of information pertinent to finding your way from point A to B. The layout also leaves much to be desired. Examples frequently correspond to other examples in previous pages so that you are constantly flipping pages and trying to sort out what's what. ...
