Ness Books

My son just got this journal today for his birthday and it is absolutely going to be the number one gift that I give to all my friends children! It is such a neat keepsake for kids. Something that they will enjoy looking through time and time again! It has so many neat things for the kids to write about and really gets them thinking about who they are as a person! What a neat way to get children into journaling! Highly recommend!!!

I bought this book for my grandson and he really enjoys it. Kid tested and approved. The drawing are cut. What more can you want?

My 8-month old loves this book. In traditional Chinese and English, this book is about Peter tasting several foods at his party -- popsicle, lemon, potato chips, burger, doughnut, milkshake. It's a flap book, so he starts by saying he tastes something cold and icy. When you flip the flap, it reveals he is tasting a popsicle. "Brrr! That's chilly" At the end, Peter eats so much, that he burps. "Pardon me!" My son wants me to read it to him over and over. While it's not a board book, I like it because the pages are thick cardboard-like material, so it's not something where my son can rip or wrinkle the pages easily. It's also very colorful and the pictures are simple enough too. My only complaint is that the written Chinese is in traditional, I wish it were in simplified text. A great book!

The book published in 1948, while over a half century old, contains bits and pieces of history that are invaluable to those interested in how modern fireams have evolved from their roots of yesteryear.

It provides a syniopsis of calibers and cartidges of the day that is both comprehensive and informative. Light is shed on the developers of those rounds along with a wonderful picture into the state of the art reloading activites of the day.

Ness, with his extensive credentials, leads the way in providing history that is alive and well to those of us that look to the past to formulate our future. The wheel is always being reinvented and for this Ness shows us the wheel of the Forty's that many modern firearms manufacturers now seek to provide us, the buying public, in the market place.

I would think this book should be on ones "Must Have" list for the reloading room of any aspiring handloader

Restoring Justice is an excellent overview of Restorative Justice: Its theory, princibles and pratices all under the umbrella of Gods love and compassion for mankind. Easy to read and understand. Excellent resources for followup and programs that are now in place. Highly recommend to readers who are getting involved with the restorative justice movement.

Pros: While this manual is not as complete and technical as the phone-book size Missing Manual (Pogue), it is very detailed. It is written in language anyone can understand with many clear screenshot llustrations. I think it would be an excellent book for someone who is very new to Apple OS X. I have been using Macs for more than ten years. I bought this after using OS X (and now Jaguar) for over a year and I learned how to take care of some annoying things and also how to use many things I didn't know I had. It is laid out as 24 chapters (thus the 24 hour title) clearly named in the Table of Contents so you can easily find what you are looking for. The chapters end with a summary and a helpful Q & A section that often covers troubleshooting questions. These are followed by Workhop (practice), Quiz questions and Activities. Almost every option from the file menus of every program is defined in simple English as you learn about the program.
Cons: Some of the programs have been updated either with Jaguar or with downloads and these latest features or options aren't covered. As I said before it is not as technical as others, i.e. you will not find sections on Bluetooth.

I read the book in sixth grade and I loved it. It turned out different than I thought it would. It surprised me and I think it would suprise you to if you read it.

This book is fabulous for young children interested in thier zodiac sign. It has great colorful pictures, that will fansinate young children. Otherwise I would not buy this book. It is not very detailed, but is great for kids. I would say not to buy it if over 8. You should get a more complicated one.

Disclaimer: I was a student of Dr. Van Ness and assisted with some minor research for the early chapters in the book.

The text deals with measurement error, ie, situations where there may be error in the measurement of the independent variable as well as the dependent. Focus is given to problem-solving and illustration of key points rather than the most rigorous mathematical proofs. One must be strongly conversant with at least undergraduate mathematical statistics to grasp most of the text.

However, it's an intriguing field with a number of real-world applications that become apparent in the text.

The great poet , Mike Begnal , compares reading Elias to a hallucination-- to a '' lucid dream.'' Perhaps all genius seems like pseudoblepsia ( a false vision ) ? If language is capable of fractal patterning , Elias has achieved it in The Terror of Loch Ness. Other meanings in meaning. This brilliant centaur of prose and poetry has the advantage of having an immensely talented and acclaimed illustrator , Michael Hafftka , who somehow shares the ultrablepsia of Elias , and somehow captures the terror and beauty with a series of unforgettable illustrations. A brilliant , archetypal book from sui generis Che Elias.
