Ross Books

An anthology in parts. The first is an introduction that has a short extract from Frankenstein, and various other early looks at variants on that theme, including the non-horrific and a spoof. The Future Eve is a short novel, even if it mentions it is a novelette in the intro.

Then various treatments for stage and screen, including a play, and finally 'the archetypes' which includes monsters that may have inspired Shelley such as the Golem, and some other more recent stories that actually deal with the Monster or Frankensteins directly.

Each piece is given an historical overview beforehand.

It is not always possible to find a book in which there are as many good examples of the genre as possible about the same topic.This book satisfies my hunger for that.Many of the stories not only entertain you but also make you think,argue with the others and imagine further (as those great writers in the book once did) about the great mystery of the nature:Life!!!In some of the stories,analogies had been excellently set (as in Dial "F" For Frankenstein by A.C. Clarke) and considering all the works edited one can see the different implications and consequences of the man playing god,creating life (e.g romance in Future Eve,horror in The Reanimator etc.).We have to thank Peter Haining for so many great writers in one book,so do not miss it on earth!

I found this book to be a clear and consise contribution to the nature of singing. Sure it is a minority view but an increasingly popular one in my opinion. The author is still teaching so the past tense in the last review whether intended or not, is factually incorrect. For the lay reader you have to put the work in to get something out of this book. Try taking notes. Oh and 12.95 for the paperback most places.

Mathematicians by definition have a love affair with good problems, and this is a collection of the best. While designed to be at a level for mathematical olympiad use, all mathematicians will find something in here that will stretch them. Some are at the level where the solution requires a simple insight, but others require reaching for your thinking cap. However, all can be solved using arguments considered within the reach of an olympic mathlete. Which is encouraging. It is nice to know that there are young people who can do problems that force me to strain a few neurons. Solutions are included, most of which were created by the editor. The problems are taken from geometry, number theory, probability and combinatorics.
Another high quality entry in the series of problems books by Ross Honsberger, this is a book for all mathematicians, potential olympians to professionals.

This book is absolutely wonderful. It has something for everyone and particularly if you are going through a rough time or just need some encouragement. It is a recommended reading for all. I just loved it!

This combination how-to, reference book is aimed at school librarians, teachers, home schooling parents, and even kids who want to learn. It advocates a four-way synergy among these phenomena: 1. Talented programmers, who have distributed literally thousands of educational programs on the Internet, 2. Libraries with extremely austere budgets, that can still acquire tons of quality educational shareware, free ware, and CD ROMs (made available by those programmers), 3. Prematurely obsolete PCs and Macs that can be brought back to life by running lean, efficient shareware, 4. Librarians, whose learning curves can be lowered markedly (by referring to this book), and soon can be finding software gems of their own.

It sounds good, almost like a Disney movie, but instead of Peter Pan you get programmers on a mission in cyberspace. Still, there is a silent criticism. A criticism that ends up trashing the review even more than had it been discussed. People, including myself, are reluctant to criticize anything motivated by the love of children, so they don't ask the tough questions, like: "Doesn't shareware lack polish?", or, "Aren't the big companies like MicroSoft going to take over the educational software market?", or, "What about viruses?". Or they don't say: "By now the economic boom should have filled the coffers of libraries everywhere.", or, "Some of the titles are probably already out of date."

I had all the above misgivings, yet there was something special about this book. No matter what the topic or sub-topic, the author seemed to know a lot about it, and even conveyed a sense of how it fit into the big picture. For instance, Mr. Ross cites Netscape to underscore one the book's central concepts, which is this: In the wild and woolly dawn of the information age, shareware is on the cutting edge, and quality shareware tends to last.

Every book has a story (how its ideas were conceived, developed, etc.), and usually the more intertwined the book's story is with the author's own, the better the book. This author's story can be found in bits and pieces in this book, in another book: The Whiz Kid's Starter Kit, and in the archives of The Family Computer, a weekly column he writes. Calvin Ross is a teacher and computer lab manager at two schools, a single dad with a gifted son, the designer of the NewTechHigh (an experimental high school) website, and a former resident of Japan, whose understanding of our own freewheeling economy was deepened by observing theirs. When he writes about austerity remaining a way of life for most school librarians, or virus-free web sites that will be around for a long time (like Compuserve, or AOL), or the advantages of a particular math program--it's in the words of a man who's "done been there," and not for just a little while, but for years. That's what's special about this book.

One other thing: the overwhelming majority of the 298 educational programs that the author has carefully culled, cataloged, rated, and described are still available. In most cases they've actually been improved.

This book is an ideal textbook for the person who knows nothing at all about Accounting. It is also good for the person who needs a refresher course on the basics. Combine it with "VIKING MARINE", A business simulation (ISBN number 0-538-60627-4) which is the "hands-on" portion of the package, and you have everything you need to fully understand the basics of Bookkeeping/Accounting.

the product came right on time for me to start school and yes i would use this again for my next semester

For four decades, the Unitarian Universalist Veatch Program has provided direct support to the Unitarian Universalist Association and many nonreligious grassroots organizations committed to social justice and the democratic process. Based on more than fifty interviews with Veatch leaders, staff and recipients, Funding Justice chronicles the far-reaching effects of the Veatch Program - not only within the UU faith community but also within the field of progressive philanthropy. These compelling stories serve as inspiration to all who subscribe to UU ideals and principles. Ross explores the origins of the funding program, beginning with Caroline Veatch, and provides a brief history of the Unitarian Universalist Congregation at Shelter Rock (UUCSR).
