Q Books

I purchased 15 of these books. They were given out to a group of EC kids that I got to play Santa Claus for during an off site enrichment party for the kids that was held at our Church.

The books arrived on time (all 15 in one delivery!!)and in "brand new condition".

I anticipate doing business with Amazon again.

I love this book. It explains the formulas and how they are made very well, in clear English. I will definitely keep it for future use. I've always loved College Algebra and this book can help me continue to learn it.

Pros:
- Explains well
- Great examples
- Descriptive
- Answers in back of book
- Whatever questions you have, it answers it

Cons:
- Very heavy
- The material doesn't stick in my head right after reading it (but that's my problem)
- When doing some of the problems I couldn't derive, from the examples shown, the answers
- Offers only odd answers to problems
- Gets dirty easily
- There were other things I didn't like, but I forget.

Overall: Great book! I love it.

While many of the statistical facts are outdated and many have surely been revised since the book was published in 1952, this textbook has an excellent general account of Conscientious Objectors (C.O.) in World War II. It covers the broad range of their stance (be it religious or social or political), how they were treated during deliberation of their C.O. status, as well as many other topics. An excellent resource for research papers, as I'm finding.

As a side note, as Amazon.com's information is slightly inaccurate, the book was authored by both Mulford Q. Sibley and Philip E. Jacob. Including the Appendix and Index, it is 580 pages long.

I bought this book, along with some others, for my 2nd grader this past winter. It is more basic than others of the same sort, and is probably geared towards the younger child, rather than an older. That being said it's perfectly acceptable, and was useful to us in it's limited way, and a good price too.

The book is an old one,and not really for experts only-maybe the title kept customer away.

But a nice book, easy to read.

Chester's choice of poetry is especially exciting! Based on my enjoyment of this selection, I have purchased and am reading "Unmade Bed" by the same editor. A very worthwhile and enjoyable collection!

Q and Not U's sound has evolved since this album, as has their lineup, but it's good stuff. It first struck me as good, but ordinary DC post-Fugazi punk. Which it was, for the most part, until it started to really grow on me. It's a shame they kicked out their bassist after this album - he was really good.

I really enjoyed reading this book with my class for information about tornadoes and hurricanes. The book presents many facts about these storms in a very kid friendly way. the format for the book is questions and answers. The book provides just enough information to keep it interesting for student readers. The pictures are not real, but are realistic. I like how the authors write a note in the beginning of the story inviting the reader to read their book. This book will be appealing for students in the upper elementary grades. It is a good beginning book for research.

This book is the best I've seen for teens coping with chronic illness. Since there really is no comparable book written just for teens with IBD, this book should be required reading for teens and young adults that are newly diagnosed or having trouble coping with the difficulties of chronic illness. Dr. Kaufman reaches teenagers' most important concerns through easily understood questions and answers

Elizabeth Taylor, an actress and sex symbol who is one of the most sought-after celebrities by the media, has published several books during her lifetime. Elizabeth Takes Off: On Weight Gain, Weight Loss, Self-image & Self-esteem is one of them. I first picked up this book because of the words "self-image & self-esteem" in the title, rather than the "weight gain, weight loss" portion. Well, it turns out the book would be an excellent source for those who want to lose weight, but that was not what I was interested in.

Nevertheless, the book itself is highly commendable. Even if you're not planning to go on a diet - like me - the first half of the book is still worth a read. Miss Taylor writes briefly and frankly about events that occurred in her life which affected her self image and consequently, self esteem. She writes how being a senator's wife caused her to divulge into a period of extreme inactivity and boredom which unconsciously turned her to overeating. She also mentions the dire effects of binging, nibbling, or grapple-snapping. Unlike those strictly diet-focused books, Elizabeth Takes Off offers insightful explanations and reasons for weight gain while also presenting a dietary method which to me looks superb.

If the first half analyzes the impact of events in Miss Taylor's life, the latter half offers diet menus, recipes and exercises that could help keep your body in shape. The Taylor-made recipes mainly consist of nutritious food, notably fruits and vegetables that have low calories. Her daily menus seem reasonable, diverse and easily followable because it is not a starving course, but a replacement for your typical diet. The exercise portion contains several beneficial stretches which, again, are also simple and effective.

Overall, I found this book to be a smooth, easy read. I also found myself nodding to many of the things that Miss Taylor says in this excellent book - which needs to be more in circulation today.
