This book helped me out so much in my neurobiology class. I would definitely suggest it as a great reference for anyone taking an upper level neuro class who needs great pictures and drawings of the "tracts." The CD is also a lot of help for studying.

some sections are a little weat such as N-histology, however, great illistrations, and easily readable, also the atlas that goes along with the text is a must. I especailly like the section on N-vasulature CSF, also the Thalmus is covered pretty well

It's concise and fits the needs of those less familiar with the topic of neuroanatomy but the level of detail serves as a great source of reference for the more advanced individuals.

I'd recommend The Human Brain: An introduction to its functional anatomy as well. Great texts for an introduction to the human brain.

Very comprehensive, beautifully edited book. Personnally, I like neuroanatomy books a lot. This is not the first one I've bought, but it is definitely one of the best. Sections on clinical imaging are a nice little extra that you will not find in most of the other anatomy books.

Among a host of admirers, Seaton's "Sayings" have always created belly-laughs galore. Now a whole new generation will have an opportunity to join in the hilarity. He is a master raconteur who makes his encounters with ordinary citizens and events just as fascinating as his escapades with the dozens of celebrities who have peopled his life and this book. It's a delightful read.

For anyone who comes from a large family or has several children of their own, this book is a must read. It is funny, nostalgic and full of memorable episodes featuring the Seaton family as they adjust to life in southern California in the 1960's, 70's and 80's. Like me, you'll find many things to relate to and have a hard time putting the book down. I read it non-stop all in one afternoon. Make sure you have a tissue box close by because you'll laugh so hard the tears will flow. Buy it now. You won't be disappointed.

Bill Seaton goes straight for the jocular in this hilarious account of his family's migration to the West Coast and their adventures and misadventures thereafter. Had California been less of a far-out state, it and they probably would not have survived. I thoroughly enjoyed this collection of increasingly zany annual reports.

When Bill Seaton fled the East Coast 40 plus years ago (he was allergic to snow) his friends feared he might grow up and get serious. They need not have worried -- he's as zany as ever and his chronicle of his family's coping with the ordinary and the unfamilar (including all kinds of animals) is great fun to read. He is a master of the witty turn of phrase; his humor is never
harsh and mostly directed at himself. This book is perfect for your bedside table. If you read Stephen King at bedtime, you'll have nightmares. Read Seaton and you will go to sleep laughing and next morning wake up happy.

I don't know about you, but when times are looking rather bleak, whether it's the economy, war or a personal tragedy, I like to read something humorous. Bill Seaton's book fits the bill (no pun intended.) It made me snicker, then chuckle, then belly-laugh. What a fun read about a delightful journey from D.C. to La-La Land in Southern California! This book would be a great gift to cheer up a shut-in or send to a loved one in the war zone. It's reminders of a kinder, gentler time when we could laugh despite trials and tribulations are an instant mood lifter.

Excellent, detailed illustrated book of some of the worlds greatest fighters. A must for those who like military aircraft.

Great book! Excellent reference material for artist or fighter plane buff.

Terrific book. I build models on my computer in 3D and this book is a great resource. The drawings are splendid.
And the text clear. If you find aircraft fascinating, you will enjoy many hours with this book

Gorgeous color photos of fighters through the ages are on the inside covers and the intro sections. However, the main substance of this book are the highly detailed and labeled b/w 3-D cutaway diagrams of some well known fighter aircrafts from the WWI Morane-Saulnier Type N, WWII P-38 Lightning, DeHavilland Mosquito to the modern Dassault Rafale, Saab Gripen, F-22A Raptor and Eurofighter EF2000 Typhoon. Great for fast referencing including a brief history and specs (powerplant, performance, weight, dimensions, and armament) for each fighter. A worthy addition to any fighter enthusiast, historian, or hobbyist's library!!!

A detailed overview of the development of fighter aircraft achieved through detailed pictorial, diagramatic and written analysis of 100 examples. True to form, the authors knowledge of technically important and interesting but little known and often ignored types, as well as the better known classics, is what makes this book really stand out and draws the reader back again and again.

This is the most comprehensive book that I've found on the subject. This book is a rare find and a must have.

To be brief, as stated above, this book is an absolute MUST for any roller coaster enthusiast, be it novice or seasoned rider. This book is ever-so-difficult to obtain, but it truly covers all aspects of these amazing creations, an extensive and thorough history, as well as loads of rare and significant b & w photos.

This book is simply the most complete treatise on the subject of wooden roller coasters that anyone will ever read. Tracing the coaster back centuries in time, Cartmell then brings us through the complete historical time line of designers and coasters. It would do no good to try to describe the book's contents much further here. Even a non-enthusiast will find this a fascinating read into a very interesting subject. Enthusiasts will find it very difficult to put down once they begin reading.

I agree totally with the above reviewed. Just two things to add: the Notes and Bibliography sections are very good, and a superb resource for scholarly research. This is a "classic" and should be in your library!

This book should be in everyone RollerCoaster Entusiast Collection. Written Dr. Robert Cartmell, The Great American Scream Machine tells about the Golden Age of Rollercoaster and The Legendary Builders. It has some rare photo of Herny Traver's Classics including the Cystal Beach Cyclone. The Book was written in 1986 and it nice to see how far coasters have grown since then Also encluded are is a Chroniclogical history of all PTC coaster building and modification.

I only recently became a [website user]. Just a month ago, someone said to me, "Aww heck, they won't let me FTP from behind this firewall at work."

And I felt really stupid.

Fortunately for me, this very technical book was not at all confusing, as I ran off and bought it immediately after my humiliation. It is written in an informative and relatively jargon-free language. I have been tranformed from a virus-laden security ignoramus to a web geek security know-it-all!!!

Building a secure Internet infrastructure is akin to building a house. There are a lot of different entities involved, that all must work together to ensure that the edifice is properly constructed. If the building is not properly constructed, even a small wind can topple it.

While a house needs an architect, contractors, plumbers, electricians and much more; networks require similar sets of skills if it is to be deployed in a secure manner. The problem with designing secure Internet sites is that the dynamics of information systems means that the foundation is constantly changing. Just as companies are finishing their migrations, there are new updates to deal with. The threats and vulnerabilities are for the most part increasing quicker than most organizations are able to deal with

For those looking to design their Internet information security infrastructure, Internet Site Security is an excellent title to use as their guide. It is like an architects guide to building secure networks.

The book is quite comprehensive in its coverage of all critical areas of security. It details how to build a secure infrastructure and how to deploy policies to protect it. It covers various technologies such as intrusion detections systems and firewalls, and shows how they are to be effectively deployed.

Then advantage of the book is that it has just the right combination of breath and depth. Topics are covered effectively, and the authors do not waste the reader's time by going into obscure security minutiae or academic threats.

Readers looking for an effective guide to fundamental issues involved with information security and Internet security are well advised to read Internet Site Security. Don't design you Internet site without it.

This really is a superb book. The evidence that the authors are hands on types who have implemented what they describe is very apparent, and take it from someone who has been doing security for years, the problems they describe are what you experience in real life. It's a refreshing change from other books which describe the products/technologies as if they were reading a feature list - it's hard to find a book packed with real life experience.

I'd describe it as a 'mid level' book, i.e. if you need detailed knowledge of x509 etc you need a seperate tome - but if you want a fairly detailed overview of the majority of risks affecting your web site, this is the book to choose.

Collaboratively written by Erik Schetina (CTO for TrustWave Corporation), and TrustWave Corporation senior security engineers Ken Green and Jacob Carlson, Internet Site Security is a much-needed and completely "user friendly" instructional guide to implementing solid and reliable security measures for a personal or professional internet site. Individual chapters provide an informationally useful overview of basic types of security, and address specific issues such as network and application protocols (TCP/IP), operating system and server software issues from Windows NT and 2000 to Linux and Unix, Intrusion-Detection Systems, common security mistakes in internet applications, and much, much more. Internet Site Security is a very highly recommended (if not downright indispensable) resource for surviving in today's era of cyber-crime.

This book covers the subject of Internet Security in a comprehensive manner. It contains excellent coverage on modern penetration/exploitation techniques as well as proper forensic procedures. The book shows you how to build a secure infrastructure and how to proactively deploy security policies, something that should be emphasized in every organization. It offers valuable insight on integration of a security infrastructure into an existing enterprise environment, covering both technical and political ramifications. The book discusses in-depth the strengths and weaknesses of various Intrusion Detection Systems and FireWall architectures. It also provides excellent coverage on IPSec and PAM; better than any documents that I have read on the Internet. The book provides both breadth and depth. It is neither a book all about theories and policies nor just another compilation of internet articles and mailing list discussions. Many insight gleaned from the authors' industry experience have shined through this book. It is a worth read even for a senior security engineer.

I recently checked this out from my local library, but decided it was one I wanted to own and refer to often. The author provides new ways to deal with our feelings and teaches us how to let go of everything that blocks our experience of joy.

I felt like I had found a wise companion when I read Carolyn Hobbs' Joy No Matter What.JOY is a gem. Practical, accessible, down-to-earth. From real examples in her clients' lives, Ms. Hobbs offers clear guidelines in how to work with emotions and life experiences to glean the greatest joy. This is not woo woo stuff. The author writes with clarity and compassion, for a wide audience, not just therapists and healers, but the lay person. Wisdom that belongs at the bedside and desktop, appealing to a wide audience.As a bodyworker, writer and teacher who supports elders through life transitions,I find that I reach for JOY as a faithful guide and tool.

I loved Carolyn Hobb's book, "Joy No Matter What." There are a lot of self-help books out but none quite as clearly written as this one. Very inspiring. Simple yet profound. Wonderful stories and anecdotes that offer great wisdom. I like how Carolyn takes each feeling, mind and belief habbit and offers practice tools to support healthy changes. This is a book that you would pass on to a friend or client in need of support regarding any life challenge, of course after reading it yourself. And you don't even have to read the whole book. You can go to the section that deals with your specific challenge. I find I go back to this book again and again as the challenges change and I need different support tools for the new life situation.

As a chiropractor I have a great interest in that which brings peace, more joy and freedom into anyone's life. In reading Carolyn Hobb's book, 'Joy, No Matter What', she condensed what I have been trying to communicate for some 28 years. This book is alive! One gets the sense that Ms. Hobbs has experieced completely what she is writing about and holds nothing back in communicating her deepest truths. If you are interested in playing full out in life, holding nothing back, this book is a must read.

This wonderful author takes us gently by the hand and with honesty, clarity and a compassionate heart leads us into a revealing journey of self exploration. This book delivers what the title promises and much, much more! Through personal stories, examples and teachings Carolyn Hobbs does what many promise but few can deliver. In Joy No Matter What, we are clearly and directly given tools that truly work...to enable us to experience more joy and peace in our everyday lives. This is a must read! It will magnificently change your life if you say YES! Give yourself the gift of this extraordinary book, and give it to your friends and loved ones!

We were in Colorado for Christmas and my most darling nice took the kids out to a movie and I don't know where else. While running around they stumbled upon Mr. Ludy doing a book signing. My son got this one. It is a coming of age book for a young boy (very young). There is a mouse to look for on each picture. It is very cute and the pictures are great. My 8 year old really liked this book a lot. So much that I will be looking for the others. I would recommend this book for 4th grade and below.

Jujo is a great book for all ages. On one hand, it's an exciting story about a boy's right of passage; on the other, it's has spiritual messages that remind us that we are never alone, even during our biggest struggles.

My four and six year old children love it. The eighth graders and tenth graders I teach love it. It makes a great discussion and writing prompt.

All of Mark Ludy's books are amazing. His illustrations in THE FLOWER MAN captured my attention, causing me to check out this other books, but the impact of his stories keeps me looking for the next one he will publish.

Once again Mark Ludy has captured profound truth in a light and entertaining way. Illustrations of Jujo of the Jungle are exceptional and the story line is multi-facited, yet simple. I bought a copy for one of our grand children but will probably get one for Nana's bookshelf, too.

Mark Ludy's book, JuJo, is a about "The Youngest Tribesman." Jujo must face a rite of passage, a concept rather unfamiliar to most young people in western civilizations. It is a fine introduction to Africa and to tribes with cultures different from our own. It is entertaining, a great adventure story that includes enough animals to keep any young child interested. And the artwork and quality of the book are truly something to brag about. Here's to a great and growing audience for Mark Ludy.

I love mark ludys work, but this is not my favorite book of his. Flower man is still the best!!!!

This is a really cute book about people coming together and not just about adoption (altho, that is why I bought it..). Great to find a book about a father and a child! We are enjoying it very much! Thanks!

We checked this book out at the library and decided we needed to own it. It is a wonderful book about a goose wanting to be a father and the "green goose" searching for his "real" mother after discovering he looked different. He realizes he has a wonderful father and goes back home. It's great for adopted children.

Wonderful book covering so many subjects in a short entertaining time. Father goose longs for a child, and adopts a very strange egg. After the little green goose is born, the baby chicks tease saying thats not really your mommy, you dont look anything alike. The little green goose goes around trying to find out who he looks like and then becomes lonely and returns home, realizing home is where you are loved. Great book for adoptive fathers. Also for those involved in transracial adoption. The story illustrates a fathers love and caring, the idea that families do not need to look alike, and all this is done with a tale that is good for its own sake. The illustrations are superb, my favorite is the final one, this great big green dinosaur-like creature (the little green goose) with the father goose laying on top of his head, one wing stretched out protectively over his child and both fast asleep.

This book is great for all parents of adopted children. This book grabbed the attention of my child, and he was entirely enthused through the whole reading and just absorbed it all. Two thumbs up for this great write!

You could hardly do better than to get "The Little Green Goose" for any father, whether adoptive or biological. Adele Sansone's text is a miracle of economy, covering parenthood, adoption, geneaology, and more with a minimum of fuss and text.

The barnyard goose decides that he wants to be a father, but as he has no wife or other partner, he decides to adopt a spooky looking green egg found by the dog at the edge of a field. The goose settles himself on top of the eggs and waits and waits. When the egg finally cracks open, what emerges is some sort of lizard or dinosaur or who knows what--but it definitely is not a goose. Still, Sansone's goose dad utterly ignores the differences between himself and his new son and makes a natural (and skillful) parent. When the "green goose" decides to try to figure out what his real background is, he has little luck and ends up coming home to the goose--who, after all, is the only parent he's ever known.

The illustrations, by Alan Mark, are utterly charming. The "green goose" is splotched and splashed with color, while the goose is drawn sparingly and convincingly. This is, overall, a fun tale with subtle and valuable life lessons.

First and formost it is a shame that Dr.Delatte has only had time to write one book. And I hope that she will get the chance to write another soon. In her book Lucy Audubon A Biography she sets the tone in the first chapter. She goes in great detail to explain to her reader Lucy Audubon's life. She gives a rare insight to a historical figure and brings her to life with her words. the reader feels as if they are there with Audubon as she goes through life and overcomes the obstacles in her life.

I have to say that this book is one of the best books that I have ever read. It keeps your attention from the first page to the last. A must read.

There is not much to say but that this book is one of the best books that I have ever read. It gives you a rare look into the life of Lucy Audubon.

There is not much to say but that this book is one of the best books that I have ever read. It gives you a rare look into the life of Lucy Audubon.

This is a excellent,thorough book written by an excellent, thorough lady and professor. Sadly, she passed away in August 2004, so there will be no more books. However, this book stands as a monument to her diligence as a historian and talent as a writer. Dr. Delatte will be missed.

Poorly prepared, two friends, and their half-indian manservant "George", decide to travel deep in to the interior of Labrador. The hardship they endure and the hard choices they make are a testimony to the resilience of the human spirit. This book gives great insight into what life was like in eastern Canada at the turn of this century.

A deeply moving misadventure. In getting lost, these three men discovered the soul of Labrador as well as the true meaning of friendship and survival. This book is a classic.

I have read this book several times, and would recomend it to anyone that enjoys an adventure story. I enjoy it even more than most as Leonidas Hubbard was my grandfathers first cousin.This book has been almost required reading in our family,(Hubbard).I hope the publisher will reprint it as we have many family members looking for a copy of the book.

I have read a lot of teen adventure books. I recently read this one while I was on a rugged boys canoe camp trip. We went on a 7 week trip with 12 men to labrador. I purchased this book because it was nonfiction and it was saying how these 3 brave, adventurous men took a trip similar to the area i'll be going to. It talked about how mothernature just (threre's really no word for it but...)Destroys these people and they fight back with courage and hope in succeeding this raw adventure. The three in progress of there adventure take care of eachother and keep eachother alive nad in this doing they become better than great friends almost brothers. I really don't want to ruin the book for you, but i suggest so strongly that you get a copy of this book, and oh yea the beginning of the book really is boring because it tells you of how they got to labrador in 1902 (they didn't have cars).

I cannot say enough about the content and the form of this book. It beautifully informs the reader not only of the enthusiasm of two would-be wilderness pioneers, but also of the errors they did not know they had made along the way to a tragic end. I get the feeling that the author, who wrote the book (according to the introduction) as a tribute to his lost mate, never overlooks or overplays any of the events that took place in the then-unchartered terrain of eastern Laborador. The author also makes plain that the voyage ended his youthful naivete by teaching him the necessity of respecting the natural world and of remembering our loves who slowly but surely disappear from our lives.

In short, Lure Of the Laborador Wild, despite its drab title, is an engrossing work. It is quiet, clearly written and, in a matter-of-fact way, terrifying. It towers far above all other nonfiction adventure books I have read over the past ten years.
