Great book! Great pictures. It's the best one out there

This book is a great book for all the Garth Fans out there. The pictures are really adorable and the information is quite up to date. It is very thoughtfully laid out and I think it is worth every single penny. I carry it around with me everywhere. Its a must.

This book is very thorough

While it is almost exactly the same as the online lessons, it is a complete re-write from the ground up. I tried to keep in mind you are looking at a book rather than a computer screen and it has all the niceties of a good manual such as a Table of Contents, Indexes, i think this is the best web tutor book that i never seen.

I am currently taking two biology classes at BYU, both of which use portions of this book, and I have found it to be very straight-forward and useful. Although some may say that I am being preferential since Dr. Fairbanks is a professor here at BYU, I'm not-- this book far outperforms the other texts we have and use, including the much lauded Molecular Cell Biology by Lodish. Dr. Fairbanks's book is well-written, contains clear, concise and easy to understand diagrams and his writing style brings genetics to life. Even a Freshman like I can easily dive into this book and understand the world of genetics. Furthermore, his choice to teach the molecular basis of genetics first is very logical and provides a solid background to later ideas like recombination and epistasis.

If the south will ever be treated fairly in history, then there must be a loss of the current stereotypes. Hoilifield ably demonstrates that the "old south" was not full of a bunch of racist rednecks, but learned men. People need to read good unbiased southern history in order appreciate our rich heritage.

What is geocomputation ? To some, a revolutionary way of dealing with spatial data. To others, a collection of known tools under a new brand name. In any case, all of those which are interested in geographical information systems (GIS) will benefit enormously from reading this book, which provides a comprehensive review of this new field. All articles are interesting, but especially noteworthy is Couclelis's state-of-the-art review, with a number of interesting points about the notion of "geocomputation". Important contributions also come from Oppenshaw (he reviews his GAM and GAM/K algorithms), Anselin (exploratory data analysis), Batty (visualisation) and Burrough (dynamical modelling). In short, if you want to know what "geocomputation" is about, this is the place to start.

I read Gorge Speaks for a school project. I thought that this book was a very fun book to read! I liked this book because it was funny, it really got your attention and I just thought it had a good ending. I think a lot of people would read this book if they had a chance to and the time. I think mostly that a lot of kids would read it. Probably ages 4-9I really like this book and I highly recommend it and I hope you like it!

I got this book for my 10 and 11 year old daughters....they ABSOLUTELY LOVED it ! They kept saying "Dad, you have to read this book". I did and it is a wonderful book. As a former high school hockey player, I loved the hockey action, some of the best hockey action for middle school kids I have ever read.

As a father, the family side of the story really touched me as well.

If you have daughters, or daughters who love sports like mine, this is the BEST book I have seen for them.

The main character is one tough cookie, and her guts, spirit and determination are inspirational to all girls !

Because the hockey action is soooo good, even my 13 year old son wants to read the book now.

If you have middle age kids who love books about sports or just books about being a middle school kid ( the conversations these kids have are hilarious ), THIS BOOK IS A MUST HAVE !

Muriel Sibell Wolle (nee Muriel V Sibell)was a long time professor at the University of Colorado. In the early 30's she visited many "young" ghost mining towns in Colorado, sketching and researching the towns and buildings.
The ravages of time, weather and curiosity seekers have all but destroyed these specimens of Colorado's mining heritage. Over 70 years since Wolle visited Blackhawk, Central City and Nevadaville, the book is a priceless volume of sketches and historical notes.
This is one of two companion volumes she wrote in '33 and '34, the latter being "Cloud Cites of Colorado:Leadville, Kokomo, Robinson, Climax, Fairplay, Breckenridge". Ms. Wolle continued her sketching and historical writing in the landmark "Stampede To Timberline" first published in 1949.
