    4 out of 5 stars Mercury Outboard Shop Manual.......2006-03-20

    Once again, another fine product from Clymer's. I have only had this manual for about a week now, but have found the information to be accurate and very well detailed. The wire schematic section was great! Colored wires would have been better but it was easy to follow. If you have an outboard motor, you will need this valuable manual.

    5 out of 5 stars Mercury shop manual.......2005-09-03

    THE MANUAL IS WELL WRITTEN AND EASY TO UNDERSTAND WITH PLENTY OF PICTURES TO GO WITH EACH SECTION. I IMMEDIATELY FOUND THE PROPER AREA TO CHECK ON MY MOTOR AND FOLLOWING THE GUIDE TROUBLE SHOT AND REPAIRED THE THING WITHOUT ANY MAJOR PROBLEMS. I WOULD ALSO SAY THAT AMAZON GOT THE BOOK TO ME QUICKLY, AND I APPRECIATE THAT.

    5 out of 5 stars Best dictionary for those who aren't great at English.......2006-07-23

    I teach English at a large Los Angeles-area high school. Most of the students entering my class are reading below grade level. I've bought several of these dictionaries over the past couple of years for students to use for vocabulary assignments and/or general reference. They have been, far and away, the most popular (and therefore, most used) of the dictionaries in the classroom. Students love the convenient size and easily understood definitions. Longman does an excellent job of making entries make sense. For instance, there are no lame defintions such as: "mysterious" means "full of mystery". Definitions can be a bit wordy, but they are written in basic English and students tend to understand them more readily than with other dictionaries. For comparison, the first entry for "mysterious" reads "mysterious events, behavior, or situations are difficult to explain or understand". Another feature which I like and no one has mentioned is the vinyl cover: durable, longer lasting than paperback covers of most inexpensive student dictionaries.

    Keep in mind, however, if you want a dictionary that contains every single word you might come across in your reading, the Handy Learner's word count is good, but limited. You might purchase a good collegiate dictionary (New World, New Oxford American, Longman's Advanced are all excellent choices) to supplement the shortcomings of the Handy Learner's. I have several in my classroom, but students tend to shy away from anything heavy and hardbound. I've had a great experience with the Handy Learner's and will continue to buy them for student use, as they are frequently "borrowed" (which, I guess, is a good thing as it means that kids actually want to keep them to use for themselves).

    5 out of 5 stars The best handy or small size dictionary for Learners.......1999-05-24

    I have three different pocket-size dictionaries written for Learner's of English as a second language. Oxford, Webster and Longman. This one has the easiest to understand explanation of the words in comparison with other ones. I have two of this edition. I keep one in my office and one at home.

      Book Description

      Luc Zeebroek (alias Kamagurka) has been publishing his comic strips and editorial cartoons in newspapers and magazines for more than 20 years. In them, the mundane is put under a magnifying glass and hilarity is induced through the senselessness of everyday reality. Tour de Trance introduces the paintings which he began to output only last year, and their world of characters and scenes which can be as threatening as they are comic.

      4 out of 5 stars Very entertaining "bathroom book".......2007-08-04

      Goes quickly, but he writes well and if you're a cat owner, you'll really develop a rapport with the cat stories in here. Not just for "cat ladies" - my husband picked it up and couldn't put it down.

      5 out of 5 stars 10 Stars.......2007-08-03

      Look you haven't heard a story read until you've heard it read by Christopher Timothy!!!! This guy could make a phone book interesting to hear read! These stories are great! They'll have you laughing and crying! So becareful if you listen in your car ;0) I was driving my 18 wheeler down a rural road in Luisiana getting all teary eyed! Scary thought, right?

      5 out of 5 stars One extraordinary read..........2007-06-19

      James Herriot writes of his veterinary experiences as no one else could. Full of humor,sometimes sadness but always spellbinding and interesting. I could not put this book down.

      5 out of 5 stars Lovely surprise.......2007-06-02

      When I sent away for this book I had no idea that it would be so beautifully illustrated in full colour. It is a real little treasure of cat stories told in a way that only James Herriott can. I loved it.

      5 out of 5 stars Olly and Ginny.......2006-06-05

      We loved this book so much, we named our two cats Olly and Ginny. 'Nuff said.

                        Incredibly useful. I believe Flacks has written the most accurate and convenient pricing guide available for Maxfield Parrish collectors and anyone else who wants to figure out what a Parrish item is worth. If you're looking for a great coffee table book, I suggest Alma Gilbert's The Masterworks. -- James Halperin, sf novelist (The Truth Machine & The First Immortal) and Parrish collector.

                                          Very interesting first person account of a Maasai man who becomes western educationed and gives insight to what growing up in a Maasai village was like. Quick read - powerful story. You must read this book if you plan on going to Kenya or Tanzania.

                                          5 out of 5 stars Excellent.......2006-03-23

                                          After having just visited Africa, I wanted to get a better feel for what it's really like to be Maasai. This book is very real, and gives interesting insights from the "inside". I enjoyed it thoroughly.

                                          5 out of 5 stars Bridging two worlds........2002-09-29

                                          There couldn't be two more different places than New York City and the lands of the Maasai in Tanzania. Tepilit Ole Saitoti's story of his journey in and between these two worlds is fascinating. I am looking forward to the update he is writing now that he is a Maasai Elder. This insight into another land and culture is a gift.

                                          5 out of 5 stars The Worlds of a Maasai Warrior: An Autobiography.......2002-02-04

                                          Excellent book, very accurate and really worth the money. It gives the picture of a boy growing up as a real Maasai and the new life in civilized world of Germany and USA - a man between two cultures and the difficult question to decide which way to go along. Makes yourself wondering about the way we Western people are living and gives a chance to see our world with other eyers.

                                          After having visited the Maasai area some months ago a good opportunity to compare facts with my own experience and found it even more interesting. Go for it!

                                          5 out of 5 stars sitting here with the author.......2001-12-22

                                          I read this book 12 years ago and was so moved that I wrote a letter to to the author - something I have never done before or since. I was so struck by his ability to navigate between two cultures that seemingly had little in common. His book is a testimonial to the flexibility of the human spirit and the power of education. Last week, out of the blue, I received a telephone call from the author. Apparently, he had saved my address all these years. Saitoti is currently in the US as a visiting scholar. He will be speaking in various institutions and he has just started writing a follow up to The Worlds of a Maasai Warrior (The Worlds of a Maasai Elder). I have just shown him these amazon reviews. He is sitting here beside me and
                                          would like to take this opportunity to say: "Thank you to the reviewers of my book for such beautiful reviews and to amazon.com for posting such a wonderful display of my work."

                                            "Hodgson presents us with a complex, interactive picture of change over time, one dominated neither by the Maasai nor the state and development apparatus. . . . The Maasai emerge not simply as the 'intrepid warriors' envisioned by government and development officials, or even sometimes by themselves, but as active agents in the construction of their own history. This history, however, is often contradictory, contested, and varied." --Jane Parpart
