This book is superb.......2007-10-10

Although the last couple people have knocked this book for not providing ready explanations, I found it to be the most useful tool for preparing for the GRE. I actually used this book as part of a Princeton Review class, and although the teacher offered explanations for the problems if we needed them, that happened very rarely. I recommend using this book in conjunction with a variety of other GRE books, like the Princeton Review "Cracking the GRE." If you do the PR book first, you can treat this book as extra practice. And yes, this doesn't really help with the whole computer adaptive aspect of the GRE, but you know what? Nothing really does. That format sucks. Thanks ETS for this helpful book, but screw you for the test format.

Written by those who write the GRE.......2007-10-06

This is the best source for GRE preparation because it is written by the company who writes the actual test. Recommend using other books to supplement and absolutely use the free online resources.

Great for GRE prep!.......2007-10-01

You'll find this book very useful in preparing your GRE test. A lot of prep material: questions, answers and reviews. It's worth every penny.

Answer explanations!!????.......2007-08-29

I was incredibly disappointed to find out that this book has very few answer explanations compared to other test-prep books. For example, in the review of the quantitative section (p. 19-25) they do provide a few problems with answers that have explanations. But in the long Math Review (p 27-91), the exercises have no explanations for the answers given! Ridiculous! If I get the answer wrong and cannot figure out the logic, how am I supposed to learn?

Also, it is very misleading (at least mis-written) on the inside cover under "IMPORTANT" that "it contains the verbal and quantitative sections from seven full-length paper-based GRE General Test editions, including two sections of each that are complete with explanations." From the logic of this sentence, one would think that there are 14 total sections of tests in this book that come complete with explanations. But not so. Only 4 total sections (basically the first test) have answers WITH explanations.

So, buy another book that actually gives you answers with explanations so that you can learn better.

Fills all your butterfly clipart needs!.......2000-05-04

Victorian clipart: I liked this volume better than the bird illustrations CD-ROM. The butterflies resemble 'scientific' artwork of the period. The illustrations look great on envelopes, letters, CD jewelbox labels, you find a use. The color pics seem to print faster than Dover's B&W ones, too. As with the other Dover CD-ROMS, you can pull the images off the disk without installing them on your HD.

Great to Have if You Go to Reptile Shows.......2007-09-03

If you really like to go to reptile shows to get your pets, this book is really great to carry with you. It consists of numerous one page entries on individual species. It includes nearly all of the reptiles (including snakes) and amphibians that you would encounter in the pet trade. Although I wish it had more information on whether or not a certain animal was easy to handle or good for beginners/experts, etc, it's a good "shotgun" herp book to have since it details lots of different species not just a select few. So if you ever have wondered how long a long-tailed lizard gets when you are at your local herp show, you can easily look it up in this book.

I liked nearly everything about this book. The format of one species per page with a high quality color photo made it wonderful to use. This info is for all the popular animals kept in captivity. The content of information was great, with one exception. I wish the temperature ranges for species were given, but the author directs the reader to other book titles with this and more detailed information.

Best book I have seen on water gardens.......2000-06-06

This is the best book I have seen on water gardens. It covers every step of the process from planning and construction through landscaping to stocking with fish and even maintenance.

Many options are presented as far as size style and building methods for ponds, fountains, waterfalls, and streams. Fully illustrated with color photos and diagrams this is above all a great "how to do it" book.

There is extensive coverage on choosing and caring for fish and other wildlife. A large encyclopedia of foliage including floating plants, marginals, ferns, shrubs and trees is also included. A photo, physical description, zones it will tolerate, & often some advice is given for each. Tons of landscaping enhancements are also suggested.

There is history of water gardening and plenty of photos of beautiful finished gardens to give you ideas as well. I can't emphasize too strongly through how important this hands-on book is for someone who want to create a water garden of their own.

Dealing with organising CAD based work.......2000-08-16

I am an AutoCAD user, as an architect, and a CAD teacher. I have been teaching CAD for many organisation, such Highschool, University (Politecnico di Milano), private design firms. I bought this book when I already was familiar with teaching and using CAD, anyway it gave me new perspectives for organising my work, as a CAD user as well as a CAD teacher. It doesn't give you information about AutoCAD commands (you already have to be familiar with, so if you are an AutoCAD novice wait for buying it till you have basic AutoCAD skills, then buy it!), but it gives really good points on how doing a good use of them. This is why I definitely recommend this book, to people starting organising their CAD work as weel as experienced users.

Great book. Enough said. A-men!.......2007-06-27

I had planned to write a lengthy epistle about how wonderful a reference work this book is.

I had mile long notes regarding each chapter, and one of the statements was -- there is a helpful box at the right hand bottom corner of every last page of the chapter with special highlights from each religion. If a librarian is reading this review, BUY THE BOOK!

(I have been 33 years in the "profession", and I know a good book when I READ one!) Parents -- this is excellent "ready reference" material for your book shelf!

What cut me short of writing my "epistle" were the three simple words that my highly religious, well-versed on the topic (Lutheran Pastor's wife), eighty-eight year old mother said after reading this book -- "this is WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!"

Book Description

One woman's passionate battle for justice.

Letizia Battaglia's story, her vision of Sicily, and her fight for justice against the Mafia as revealed in this biographical monograph is as stunning as it is heroic. This W. Eugene Smith Award-winning photographer demonstrates photography's power to serve as both a weapon and a voice for the silent majority.

After years of fighting for the life of her troubled city of Palermo-as a photographer, deputy councilwoman, ecological activist, defender of women's rights, and defender of human rights-Battaglia continues the battle with the fierce passion, intelligence, and vision for which she is known.

Letizia Battaglia: Passion, Justice, Freedom juxtaposes iconic pictures of the everyday joy, suffering, and vitality of the Palermitani with images showing the effects of the Mafia predators who have controlled much of the city for so long.

Along with an intimate profile of the photographer by Melissa Harris, Alexander Stille chronicles Battaglia's fight against the Mafia, putting her photographs in the context of Palermo in the 1980s and '90s. Renate Siebert addresses the heretofore unexplored role of women and the Mafia in her essay. Magazine editor Simona Mafei contributes an essay about her work with Battaglia.

Customer Reviews:

Staggering Images.......2006-11-24

With an impending trip to Sicily in sight, a friend lent me this staggering portfolio of Battaglia's images from the streets of her home, Palermo. She cites Joseph Koudelka (the foremost photographer of Gypsies, as far as I'm concerned), and Dianne Arbus, as inspirations for her work. If she hadn't mentioned them herself, I think they would be the names her work brings to mind; the immedicay and warmth of the former, the shock of the American. This is a brilliant selection of photos. I don't think even Sebastian Salgado(the other familiar photographic name she cites)has ventured his camera into territory which incites such awe. Hers is an impossible act to imitate or follow, a consummate emotional achievement with great political clout. Together with a re-read of Peter Robb's, 'Midnight in Sicily', and,'The Leopard', I'm at least intellectually better prepared for the trip than with a tattered copy of my Lonely Planet Guide to the locale. Robb meets Battaglia on p239 of his rigorous exegis and speaks of 'each photo(being) a shock, the accumulative effect devastating. Not taken with art, though with the strengths that art might have envied'. Absolutely!
