This is has to be one of the best advertising I have ever seen for an upcoming movie. This is great for anyone who is a fan of Christopher Nolan's Batman Begins and looking forward to the upcoming release of The Dark Knight. It is a great read and very amusing. From what I can tell, it just tries to fill you in about what has been going on in Gotham from the close of the first movie to where it will be in The Dark Knight. The quality of the paper is excellent and the pictures are great too. I hope anyone that has it truly enjoys!

Everyone who has been working in these two films has done a great job.

Those of us who love pouring through ancient journals- especially British journals, with their exceedingly polite and ultimately trivial harsplitting over pointless detail have a treasure in this book. The editor has taken and annotated gems from nearly 100 years of publication of this eminant journal, including some very amusing and ultimately pointless debates between a number of eminant Victorians. There are some useful inquiries as well; Francis Galton, having his portrait painted for the umpteenth time, begins a study of the number of brushstrokes used my the artist, and eventually concludes that the number of strokes in a given portrait seems to be consistent between artists and independant of style. Various writers suggest mneumonics for memorizing the significant digits of pi- in various langauges, and various meters.

On the more serious side, there is much discussion of the treatment of war wounds at the time of the Great War, quite a lot of debate about Prof! . Einstein, and some of Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman's first published writings in England- regarding the physics of musical instruments.

If this sort of thing interests you (and it absolutely captivates me) you should rush to buy this book lest as soon as possible lest it fall out of print.

A sweet, bedtime book for shared reading with K-1 students and their parents. I think I would have preferred humans, not animals in clothing as the subject of the illustrations. It contains excellent color illustrations, and I would recommend this to the 2nd and 3rd grade students, as well as the teachers and parents

Today I read a signed copy of this creative book. What a beautiful contribution to the joy of friendships and dreams and how they can bless our everyday existence. There's magic in this book and I was delighted to have come across such a beautiful Japanese legend which has been handed down through the generations. Well-adapted so all can enjoy and experience.

A Primer of Behavioral Pharmacology written by Peter L. Carlton is a book written for health care profession as a concise book that has a focus on the conceptual issues and methods of behavioral analysis of drug action, rather than on categories of drugs and drug actions.

This book brings psychology and pharmacology together forming the behavioral pharmacological response. The emphasis of the book is on principles and conceptual problems in behavioral analysis. Although the effects of a wide range of drugs are used to illustrate particular issues, observation and variables play an important part in overall effacacy and an explaination of the multifaceted analytical procedures help in explaining complexity and sensitivities.

This book successfully integrates various displines making it a easily refered to text, with an excellent bibliography, you can find in the liturature, what you need. The behavioral techniques found in this book are not simple; meaning the data they generate are not simple. As we see, the behavioral effects of the drugs can be vastly complicated because they are determined by the wide range of variables in additon to the drug itself. The popularly held view that each drug has a single behavioral action that is universally realized in an utterly wrong idea.

The specific issue concerns the way in which a single characteristic of different behaviors, their rate, can determine the drug effect measures,(drug in- bahavior out), is the general theme of this book. The book is straight forward and is an easy read as it explains conceptual dynamics in various circumstances.

This is an inspiring book of lessons. This young couple learned the most important thing life - trust God. A must read for any Christian!

I highly recommend this Dover reprint, The Best Dr. Thorndyke Detective Stories by R. Austin Freeman. The stories of Dr. Thorndyke, a medical doctor and forensic scientist, were published contemporaneously with those of Sherlock Holmes. I am surprised and puzzled that Dr. Thorndyke's mysteries have remained hidden in the shadow of Sherlock Holmes for all these years. These stories were really quite good.

R. Austin Freeman was an amazingly innovative author, credited as the father of the scientific detective story and also, the inventor of the inverted detective story. Amazingly, Freeman built every device and tested every chemical procedure used by Dr. Thorndyke to ensure their authenticity. In many cases his techniques were subsequently emulated by early police laboratories.

The inverted mystery, later made famous by the popular Columbo TV series, allows the reader to witness the careful planning and execution of what appears to be a perfect murder, before the detective even arrives on the scene. Dr. Thorndyke, like Columbo many years later, tugs at loose threads, eventually unraveling the so-called perfect murder.

The first three stories - The Case of Oscar Brodski, A Case of Premeditation, and The Echo of a Mutiny - are exceptional examples of inverted mysteries. Not only did Freeman develop this new genre, his inverted detective stories are amazingly good tales that have seldom been matched by later authors.

The Mandarin's Pearl, The Blue Sequin, The Moabite Cipher, and The Aluminium Dagger are more conventional stories, but ones with more emphasis on forensic techniques than found in Watson's accounts of Sherlock Holmes. The final story, 31 New Inn, is substantially longer than the others and involves two intertwined mysteries. It is a remarkably good story.

Freeman as Clifford Ashdown: Earlier in his writing career, R. Austin Freeman, using the pseudonym Clifford Ashdown, collaborated with a Dr. James Pitcairn in creating a series of stories involving a less-than-honest private investigator, Romney Pringle. I found two Pringle stories in an anthology titled The Rivals of Sherlock Holmes (edited by Hugh Greene).
