DNA determines mental and physical abilities, from playing football to coaching or managing the team. Money controls them all and Vince Petty controls the money.

Vince Petty traded everything, but his first born to get Julian Lloyd, a college receiver with impressive athleticism and a gentle nature, as a first-round-draft pick for the Missouri Gunners. To keep Lloyd, Petty paid $18 million as a signing bonus and, then, disaster struck. Julian Lloyd is seriously injured in a pre-season mini-camp and it is unlikely he will ever take the field unless something can be done.

The four geneticists who formed Genetics Life, Incorporated (GLI) focused on breaking new ground by putting their little company in the forefront of DNA research and development, but time is running out. If they can't raise $2.2 million soon all their hard work will be sold to the highest bidder and they will no longer control their destiny. Angelina Moore, co-founder of GLI, is about to change the rules of the game, but she isn't playing alone. Humanity International, (HUMINT) wants GLI and their research and they are willing to do anything.

"11th Hour" promises a convoluted tale of intrigue, but loses its way. Bradley Warshauer spends more time on color commentary and play-by-play action than he does in developing his characters and plot. He calls the action for the Missouri Gunners and the New Orleans Saints by adding a subplot featuring an aging linebacker who doesn't want to give up the game and rest on his laurels. The story slows as Warshauer focuses on the plays and forgets the action. However, Warshauer ends his tale with a resounding crash that fizzles, leaving the reader in doubt as to the outcome of the crucial game and throwing in a love interest in the 11th hour.

This is an excellent text for medical students studying Ear, Nose and Throat. It covers all the basics and is suitable even for junior doctors, especially those who are doing an ENT job as part of a rotation in General Practice inthe UK. It will not be adequate for juniors planning a career in ENT or for specialist registrars (Key Topics in Otolaryngology is far more in depth).

Nonetheless it is a well written and concise text. The chapter on facial pain (contributed by prof N Jones) is particulary useful as it debunks many myths about the link between facial pain and sinusitis.

This is the definitive English-language version of Hitler's early years. It's not as well-written or as interesting as Franz Jetzinger's German-language book on AH's early manhood, but this is good. The book was published in 1966 and is, unfortunately, dated. There has been significant additional material unearthed since the 60's. Another problem is that there are no photos in the book. It would have helped the overall impression had they included photos of Braunau, Leonding and especially, Linz, the Fuehrer's favorite city and regarded as his "hometown."

Smith doesn't write especially well, but his research is dilligent and reliable. Don't expect any fireworks in the style department, but you can be assured of a solid, quality reading experience.

I enjoyed the story and I am looking forward to reading the rest of the story when the other parts are released. The author is talented and obviously has a compelling and interesting life story to tell, but $5 is a bit much to pay for reading a story this short. It took me less than 20 minutes to read it all the way through. Its about the length of a magazine article, so don't expect it to keep you entertained for very long. Make the next part two or three times longer and I would feel better about spending $5.

I bought this book from the author while touring Delaware. When I finally relaxed and looked at the book I was pleasantly surprised to find a comprehensive history of the education of blacks in Delaware. The pictures are a real treat, but hardly the core of the work.

It brought back memories of times, thankfully, long gone. It was a time that all Americans can remember with pride. A time when we did more with less. The pictures of the schools and students are very inspiring and tell a story all there own.

This is a good resource for anyone doing research in education.

While not the book I would choose for an adult gerbil-keeper, it would be great for kids who want to get their first gerbils. The info is very basic and the pictures are cute. There are some care tips that I wouldn't follow (like cleaning the bedding only every 3-4 months) but as a whole it's a quality book for children who want to learn more about gerbils.

Richard Bradley hits us with a brick of facts, and when we awaken we find the truth of the last 40 years. We learned from our recent President that along with getting this job, one must lose his privacy. Mr. Bradley show us that every President must also lose their humanity. JFK the great king? The evil Richard Nixon? Wake up and smell the coffee?

Richard Bradley serves it up piping hot!

Every american that watches those Sunday Washington talk shows should read this book.

For the reader with a bright idea of a new company, but who lacks capital, this book is recommended. It has much practical advice for soliciting so-called angel capital. This is seed money, typically from $50 000 to a few hundred thousand dollars, that can be used to carefully finance a modest initial operation.

The text describes several organisations scattered throughout the US, that are venture forums. This is the preferred term for a group of well heeled individuals, and some venture capitalists, that regularly meet with prospective company founders. You, the founder, give a short presentation and they bombard you with questions about the viability of your idea.

Along these lines, the book helps you prepare your presentation. By giving questions that you should have some answers to, beforehand. These act as a preliminary assessment. Other aspects covered here include the crucial issue of valuation. How much is your idea worth, if it is to be instantiated in a company?

Despite the book's title, the text also explains other possible sources of funding, like asset-based loans or incubators. The only problem with the description of the latter is the absence of a warning that you could be selling yourself short. Some incubators ask for more than 20% of equity, in return for providing little more than office space for a couple of years. If your idea truly is good, an incubator could be a very bad deal.

Yes, it's true that Apple has all its "Inside Macintosh" books available online now. Or you could get the Inside Macintosh CD-ROM, which contains some 26 volumes of these amazing books.

But if you're like me, you aren't about to sit in front of your computer reading a book of this length and depth. This is one to curl up in a chair with and really get into.

Continuing where "Inside Macintosh: Macintosh Toolbox Essentials" left off, this book describes more Mac OS features, such as the Resource Manager(worth purchasing just for this chapter), Scrap Manager, and the Component Manager. Other chapters cover more obscure subjects, Like Icon Utilities, Translation Manager, and List Manager.

There's also a chapter on Control Panels, but Joe Zobkiw's book "A Fragment of Your Imagination" will help you a lot more in that direction. This book isn't so much about how you should implement, but about how things really work at the deepest level.

As the title of this review says, this is a book for programmers, not novices. If you're not intimidated by long code examples or explanations of OS behavior at the byte and bit level, you will not find a more thorough explanation of what's going on in Macintosh applications. Note that code samples are in Pascal, so some translation is required if you want to use them in your C/C++ programs.

(If you're just starting out, you're better off getting the previous volume, "Macintosh Toolbox Essentials," which covers more fundamental Toolbox features. That one is a five-star book!)

This is a good book for political novices, the test(s) in the book are fairly accurate. However, both of the big two American political parties are "big tent" parties, and thus if you feel very strong about one or two issues, it is likely that those issues will determine your party affiliation.
