If you're looking for different organizations in your area, look no further than the Encyclopedia of Associations. I was on a mission to find listings of non-profits in the Chicago area and I couldn't find anyone with a comprehensive list until I found this book at Amazon.com. The book is broken down by state and then by city so it is very easy to find what you are looking for. And as an additional bonus, the local chapter of national organizations like the American Heart Assoc. and American Lung Assoc. were also listed. A definite must have!

The Encyclopedia of Gemstones and Minerals by MARTIN HOLDEN, is one of the most satisfactoring reference book that I have read. Holden professionally combined visual elements and highly detailed information in this reference book. What makes this encyclopedia special is that the readers can easily find whatever they need to find without searching the index or reading the whole table of contents! Everything is alphabetical! If You need to find anything about crystal systems, what you need to do is just to check the letter "c". What you need is always there... And one other thing: You will be fascinated when you see the beautiful detailed pictures and highly informative text.

Having just bought a top end digital camera I reviewed several books on photography in order to learn some tips. I found this book to be by far the easiest to read and understand. Don't let the word 'Encylopedia' fool you - Mr. Davies breaks done every topic involving the use of cameras, explaining everything form aperture to zoning in a way even a rookie like myself could understand. Lots of color pictures and graphics.

As a breeder/exhibitor/lover of the English cocker breed, I am thrilled that a book of this calibre exists for its fanciers. Whether a first time EC pet owner, or a longtime fancier, this is an outstanding set of (2) books. Truly a 'must have' for the bookshelf of any person owned by one or more English cockers.

This book won several awards for its authors, rightfully so.

Finally a good book that shows examples of authentication via LDAP. This has been an area of great confusion. The Enterprise Security Scenarios were helpful also.

Because all entries are submitted by industry professionals the listings are very comprehensive and numerous for all sorts of obscure and familiar items alike.

I would have loved to have had this as a textbook in any number of my LIS courses. Great reference book to have at hand now.

This is a superior book that will be an asset to any lawyer using the Internet. Ambrogi is a recognized expert, author of a regular column in Law Technology News, and this book benefits from his detailed knowledge of the subject. Well organized and well written, this book shows how good an Internet legal reference can be.
