Awsome! Full of excellent color photos, and labeling. It's so good, I can look at it in my spare time rather than trying to drive to school and go into the lab and look at bones. A must buy!

I had to have this book for A&P I and II. This is one of the best books you can get!

This book really tugs at your heart strings. Keeps you riveted to the story, waiting for the next chain of events. Lots of action, suspense and drama. I loved it!

The younger brother Johnny really captured my heart! I cried for him, with him and about him. And I was thrilled with the ending. Made my day!!! Recommend this book to anybody with a heart.

Brown Eyes Blue is a wonderful book about the relationships that women have....with other women, with men, and with themselves. It made me think about the choices I have made in life, my expectations regarding romance and the times I have sold myself short. The characters are wonderful! This is the perfect book for a book club to read and discuss. I strongly recommend it.

At last, thanks to Carolyn Meyer and her remarkable first adult novel Brown Eyes Blue, we have a poignant, pithy story, rife with recognizable relationships among women spanning three generations, where the heroines are not all under forty with violet eyes. In fact, arguably my favorite character is Lavinia, an artist in her eighties who is scandalizing both family and community in her sleepy Pennsylvania town by her switch from painting bucolic country scenes to bringing naked men to life in full frontal view.

My five children grew up reading Meyer's award winning books for pre-teens and teens (she's written forty nine of them), and I read them through the years to keep pace with my kids developing knowledge of powerful women in the pantheon of world history. Meyer's many works on famous queens contributed to my daughters' belief that they could be anything they wanted to be and tweaked their imaginations as they donned regal garb to present plays in the garage and relegated their two brothers to playing their courtiers and jesters.

Now at last, Meyer has brought her vivid characterizations to life in a novel for me. In Brown Eyes Blue, through Lavinia, Dorcas, and Sasha, Meyer presents the difficult, often daunting, three generational family sandwich so many of us have lived through or are living. Dorcas, in her mid-fifties and struggling with her own dramatic change of life issues of career and romance, is caught off balance between an outspoken and hypercritical elderly mother who is showing signs of senility and a needy, twenty-something daughter whom Dorcas thought was safely launched into adulthood but who arrives back on mom's doorstep, seemingly the same troubled teenager who left home several years before.

As with her children's books, Meyer's novel is spare with overblown description that bogs you down but rich with metaphor and realistic dialogue that takes you there.

As someone who was once a Sasha, who has very recently played the role of Dorcas and who one day can only hope to be as colorful and entertaining as Lavinia, I feel highly qualified to recommend Brown Eyes Blue to other avid readers of fiction. It's a wonderful read and one can only hope that Carolyn Meyer is at work on her sequel.

Write for Business is a comprehensive guide to effective business writing. The book's well-structured, easy-to-use design makes it a great desktop reference. Strategies for writing e-mail, letters, proposals, and more are explained using guidelines, models, and checklists. All the models in the book are available as MS Word templates on the included CD-ROM.

This book covers many aspects of business writing. I use it regularly. The clean design and spiral binding make it very easy to use as a reference tool. I highly recommend this book to any company that has employees who need to sharpen their writing skills.

This is one in a series of visually beautiful little books that highlight and summarize the teachings of Joyce Meyer. Her devoted readers will recognize the lessons and appreciate these condensed versions that serve as reminders of Biblical applications to daily life. Any of the books in this series will make a great gift, each with a meaningful focus, and none will require a lot of reading. Each mini-lesson can be used as a devotional, a reference for spiritual growth, or a gauge of progress in one's walk with the Lord.

This is truly a wonderful devotional book. I love it. I have read it over and over. I bought more and gave them as gifts and all my frineds loved this book. I would highly recommend it.

Cemeteries and Gravemarkers is the leading book on interpreting culture from cemeteries. The edited volume includes research by geographers, art historians, historians, folklorists, and anthropologists on various aspects of cemeteries and their gravestones in the United States. The volume encompasses the diversity of approaches to cemetery research from various disciplines, focusing on the cultural information to be obtained. The book is quite readable for the interested member of the public, but also suitable as a text for a university or college course and is a principal scholarly reference for researchers. The book is divided into four sections, including "Icon and Epitaph," "Origins and Influences," "Ethnicity and Regionalism," and "Business and Pleasure." In the first section we learn of the meaning of the icons or motifs on the gravestones of children, loggers in the Northwest, and other insightful discussions of imagery. For example, while it is common knowledge that lambs are a typical motif used for children's gravestones, an article by Ellen Synder provides an in-depth discussion with excellent illustrations of various images used in childrens' gravestones. In the second section, "Origins and Influences," we learn of the unusual folk traditions of cemeteries in the South by Gregory Jeane, as well as the splendid monuments in New Orleans cemeteries, in an informative article by Peggy McDowell. Perhaps the most important part of the book for anthropologists is section three, "Ethnicity and Regionalism." Here we have four articles that provide information on the diversity of cemeteries used by enslaved Africans, Native Americans, Mexican-Americans, and Anglo-Americans. These articles provide a solid basis for interpretations of culture from cemeteries. In the last part of the book, "Business and Pleasure," we are treated to an excellent summary of the growth of the "rural or garden cemetery movement" in the nineteenth century, with its elaborate gravestones and picturesque cemeteries. The editor, Richard Meyer, is to be commended for compiling such as diverse group of scholars for a conference that resulted in the present book. The book is well referenced, with excellent illustrations, and many insights to be found.

Until I read Dr. Meyer's book, I had no idea that historians spoke about history from the standpoint of imagination and dreams.

In a brilliant weaving of story, anecdotes, and history, Dr. Meyer introduces us to several historians who have used imagination, dreams, and intuition to make their historical discoveries. Drawing further upon the work of Freud and Jung, themselves interested in history as well as psychology, she creates a fascinating story of how history is written. This book is so readable, like talking to a friend.

In addition to Meyer's story telling, she is also a scholar, addressing other viewpoints of history including those historians who were in opposition to those colleagues who used imagination, dreams, and intuition.

History as known to most of us is political and sociological data. History as Meyer presents it, is about all sorts of people (not just politicians and military leaders): people who lived, loved, breathed, worked, and died. It is the story of people in their time and political/social milieus with touches of humanity. Their stories are part of our stories.

Dr. Meyer brings history alive with real people. That we all could have had teachers like Ruth Meyer.

Dr. Ruth Meyer's book is interesting and thought provoking. By inviting the reader to make a shift of perspective, the author establishes the link between history and individual and collective soul. The beautiful connections between Meyer's own and many historians passions and interests open up a new soul-historical scenario. History is not the same after reading it. I wish I have read this book when I was an adolescent and my history learning consisted in memorizing huge disconnected chunks of events.

This book is Great! If you are a Graphic Designer and like to do logo design YOU SHOULD OWN THIS BOOK.

J. Drew was my professor. He taught me at VCU- QATAR. He is more than a tutor. He taught me how to appreciate colors. "Colors sell a product" Some of my work is included in his book. The book has a huge collection of logos and identities from different region, different projects... etc I liked the arrangement of the works inside the book and how each logo has a brief explanation of the project. Thanks a lot to John Drew.
