Burns Books

When I first started Statics and Strength of Materials I had trouble understanding Statics and some theories in Strength of Materials. I have studied and read "Schaum's Outline Statics and Strength of Materials" by John J. Jackson & Harold G. Wirtz, and also "Applied Statics and Strength of Materials" by Spiegel Limbrunner.
This is the best book I read on this subject so far. After reading this book I finally understood everything. The book is very readable the author did a excellent job explaining everything specially in Statics.
If your learning this subject for the first time this is the book to get. The only down fall of this book is that there are errors and misprints in some of the examples in this book. Hopefully they come out with a second edition with the errors and misprints corrected.
I still gave this book 5 stars because of the superior job the author did in explaining this subject.

A few years have passed since I'd first written this book, and being my worst critic I wasn't pleased with it. I now find it to be a good book; especially from the feedback that I have received from people. I'm the main distributer now that it is out of print.

A wonderful compendium, which have summarized an extensive knowledge of the elderly mental health assessment field. It is a fundamental dayly tool for any professional interested in psychogeriatrics.

This might not be the most comprehensive of assessment books, however, the titles are chosen carefully and I find I have little need to refer to other books. There is also a CD so that you can easily customize and edit the instruments if you wish.

The assessments themselves are easy, well written and don't take a long time to be filled by the participants. The last chapter provides you with guidelines for changing and customizing the assessments so that you're not left wholly in the dark.

The Book is in good shape
and arrived very quickly
Thank You

This is a wonderful introduction for any age to the world of Robert Burns and the history of Scotland. It gives one a deeper appreciation for the man and his works. I'd recommend it for any age.

My boy of 5 and a half loves this story of Bart in presenting his life story in charts.He can easily understand how to read a chart and how the charts vary for different presentation.

I purchased this book because of its interesting cover photo. After reading it, I became aware of how much history is nestled away in the quaint villages and towns of Bedford County, Pennsylvania. From the French and Indian War to the Whiskey Rebellion to Fort Bedford, Bedford played a significant role in the settlement of early America. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I recommend this book to anyone and everyone.

This is a good book. On my first reading, I liked it as an introduction to Benedict. On my second reading, I liked it even more, and thought it a very good overview to his thought. To those who are itching for some dirt, or who belive that every appraisal of a person is incomplete without detraction - look elsewhere - there are many in the media and elsewhere who ably fulfill that function.

Hemming touches very briefly on Benedict's early life, then traces Benedict's academic formation as a doctoral student through to his various academic posts, and alongside, explores the influences and theological controversies of the day that contributed to his thinking. Hemming goes on to discuss Benedict's appointment to the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, and some of the issues he faced during his tenure there, such as the question of liberation theology, speculative theologians such as Hans Kung, Matthew Fox and Tissa Balasuriya, and the impact of an aggressively negative Western media on the perception of the man and the office.

The last part of the book is entitled "Aspects of the Thought", in which Hemming spends a chapter each on a few of the current issues which have concerned Benedict: Vatican II, scripture, revelation, Europe, truth in society in a time of change. At the end, there is included a list of Benedict's published works in English, although it seems that some are out of print.

It is obvious that for a person such as Pope Benedict, with such a long and distinguished theological career, a book such as this cannot possibly cover Benedict's entire theological depth or range. However, as an introduction, Hemming does an admirable job. Like the teacher he is, Hemming writes clearly, concisely, and is able to distil and explain theological concepts with simplicity and clarity. It has made me more appreciative of the theological treasure contained in Benedict's work, and I'm interested in delving further.

This book gives general information about a various different selections of nuts, seeds, and berries. It is wonderful, my 8 year old sister found it to be quite fun and learned much from it. This book would be great for any child wanting to learn and have fun. I would suggest it for ages 5-11
