Q Books

The book is a collection of sketches from the perspective of a kid drawing his latest hero or show favorite. The comments written with each picture are classic 8-10 year old remarks - and some you might remember thinking yourself.This book brought back so many memories of TV legends when I was growing up. I bought the book because I found myself with a big smile remembering some of the icons I had forgotten about. And returning to the shelf to see if he included a character the book prompted me to recall. I thought some of my friends will get a kick out of this, and many have glanced through it commenting on how cool it is and borrowed it.

Baseball! Q&A is a great introduction to baseball history and rules for your younger gradeschooler (or precocious preschooler). Gary Drevitch's well-written text offers interesting facts about the origins of baseball and some of its greatest players. The photos are really nice as well. Highly recommended.

I have been using this book for the past two years. I teach A&P to students of Reflexology and Massage - we all find this book to be easy to use informative and well-priced.

"In this book the author describes the complexity of the problem of being black in America and the direction the solution may take. The author indicates there are economic, philosophical and behavioral aspects to be resolved, but that a willingness to address the problem is the prime requisite. E xamples are used to illustrate specific points throughout the book pertaining to racism, discrimination, integration, the importance of family on education, affirmative action, black crime, black anti-Semitism, black leaders in the black movement and the role of government. Because the problems can be considered from many different perspectives, in reviewing the country's black problem, the author has attempted to include the opinions, the biases and prejudices and the proposed solutions of both blacks and nonblacks, academics, reporters, writers and politicians. Insofar as the problem that blacks experience is creating a greater mental health problem than most people realize (it has been called by some the number one mental health problem in America today), the book offers invaluable insight in the need for a better understanding of the current situation. It will be of interest to those in the mental health and sociology fields, as well others who are concerned about social and community factors affecting mental health."

I purchased this book for myself because it is always the first book out of the University of Cincinnati library during research. It is really that popular of a source. It is a perfect book for research, and covers every subject I have needed to study.

Birdcage's screenplay has a couple scenes that are written differently than in the movie--but reading them is just as funny as watching the movie itself. The written structure is wonderful.

Here is a comprehensive guide to the remarkable variety of birds found in California--from the majestic California condor to the tiny calliope hummingbird. An indispensa ble field companion for the avid bird-watcher, it is also an introduction to the wild birds that inhabit that state's rich and varied terrain--its coastal cliffs and inlets, moun tain pine forests, and chaparral. Covering nesting habitats, migration patterns, and population cycles, The Birds of California will tell you when and where to locate any species.

Most test review books put me to sleep, because I learn best by actively answering questions. So, I really liked this book which has 200 review questions covering all areas of internal medicine. Good for interns preparing for step 3 or med students on a sub-internship. I particularly liked that it fit in the pocket of my white coat for easy transport so I could browse the questions when I had few minutes on call.

In a well-written and engaging work, Prof. Adams brings to life one of the most overlooked British politicians of the early 20th Century, Andrew Bonar Law. What is so amazing about this obscurity is the fact of the immense effect Bonar Law had on British politics. He played a pivotal role in toppling the Asquith government during World War I, but his most lasting legacy was his involvement with Ulster and the Irish Question. Adams rightly states that the existence of Northern Ireland is Bonar Law's greatest achievement. (NOTE: This is not a value judgement in any way of the Irish Question, simply a fact) Despite being an 'academic' work, this book is very easy to read and filled with wry humor that makes potentially dry history come to life. I highly recommend this work.

I found this manual a great review for my EMT class. It was well worth the money that I had to spend on it. I recomend that every EMT buy it.
