I'm proud to honor Gerald Ford in this book.

I've been reading these devotionals consistently, and I find them applying to my life nearly every single day. Short, yet meaty, these devotionals help me make the Bible practice-able and practical. The whole range of emotions and topics is great: fear, anxiety, hope, freedom, compassion, ... you name it, and Howard Ford has written about it. The devotionals were originally composed in the setting of Christian therapy, and the author's experience with various life situations is evident in his compassionate writing. Whether you want something a little deeper than "Daily Bread" or you need cheap therapy, I know you'll love this book.

6 stars if possible. A top of the line book on Data Structures.

Practical and well explained (very thorough) with excellent examples this book sits at my desk for a refresher on Algorithm Analysis (Big O-h Notation) and a exhaustive set of practical samples of code using Java Generics and the new Collections using Generics.

If I had to buy one Data Strutures and Algorithms book (regardless of language - C++ or Java) then this book would be it. By the way, from the same authors, there is a C++ version of this book, but the type font of the book for the Java version is much bigger and easier on the eyes.

Your frustrating end to finding a post Java 1.5 Data Structures Book which shows you how how to develop the data structures raw using your own classes in addition to how it compares to the Collections in java.util are really good.

Points to remember regarding this book when seeking to compare against other books of this same subject are:

No obtuse mathematical formulas to tangle with in this book, since this book is very practical and results oriented. A non-professional programmer can make whole use of this book and come away with a suitcase full of development skills and practical concepts of Data Structures. No tedious mathematics and formulas to deal with here. Simply easy to read, digest, and apply.

Source code is provided (in its completeness) from the authors website.

My recommedation is to know Ant and/or Maven to easily compile the source code under a structured build directory setup.

There are a number of hiking guides relating to Santa Barbara and Raymond Ford has produced one of the best. It's small enough to carry in your back, but meaty enough to read in your Lazy Boy in front of the fire. I've traveled all over the world and the most beautiful natural setting I've seen is Santa Barbara. The ocean, the mountains, the vegetation, flowers and incomparable climate make this a unique paradise. Hiking here is a sublime experience and its possible to do it year-round since the temperatures rarely dip below 50 degrees. If you're a dedicated hiker and have missed Santa Barbara, please try and remedy this. You'll spend some of the best hours of your life hiking in this incredible place.

This book is one of the best hiking guides I've found for the Santa Barbara area. If you're a beginner, there are plenty of short treks for you, mostly clustered around the beach or city. There are also a dozen moderate hikes and quite a few trail descriptions for streunous jaunts, all of these in the mountain areas. The descriptions of each trail is quite good and the driving desriptions to the trailheads is adequate (I haven't gotten lost yet from following their directions). I recommend this guide for everyone fortunate to hike in this beautiful locale.

Of the three former FBI Agents who formed Partners in Crime, Daphne Donovan is the most reluctant as she holds herself culpable for what happened in New York on 9/11. Still urged by her partners Rainey Roby (see DANGEROUS CURVES) and Aimee Devlin (see I SPY) and her "brother" Brooks Madison she reluctantly takes on investigation jobs. Her current assignment is to investigate Nicole Solem, the fiancée of Naples, Florida banker Keith Melman who was burned once by a cheating spouse.

However, Daphne is not the only one observing Nicole. Former chemist Jenna Marisol blames Nicole's father for the deaths of her spouse, two children, and her mother though she dispatched the latter. When Nathan was CEO of Geon, he persuaded his employers including Jenna's husband to invest while he divested himself of his holdings; when the stock collapsed, Jenna's world went with it. Now she plans to use her new cigarette smoking pal Nicole as the means to enact revenge. Only Daphne and her partner Sam Bryson stand in the way of Jenna's success that will leave many CEOs and Nicole dead.

Readers will commiserate with the heroine's struggle to move on with her life as she blames herself for 9/11 and wonder if she will be able to stop a mass murder from occurring even with Sam encouraging her through his love for her . At the same time, Jenna has found death as the only means to move on with her life. Thus fans receive a deep psychological suspense thriller starring two women, hosting demons from their respective pasts, seeking personal "redemption"; one as a killer, the other as a protector. Jacey Ford is at her best with this action-packed thriller that countdowns to a final confrontation.
