Well Organized!.......2007-08-23

This book was well organized by region and state as well as an alphabetic index so that specific factories are easy to find. With the geographic organization, it is easy to plan a "factory tour vacation" of interesting places. We are definitely planning several trips as a result of this book.

The book also provides helpful information about each factory along with contact information such as websites, phone numbers. The regional maps with the factories located are very helpful.

I highly recommend this book.

Great Resource!.......2007-08-08

This is a great resource to a fun and educational family vacation. Some tours are right in your back yard and you may not even know about them! One of my best purchases!

What a great book! It is a visitors guide to the companies that make some of our favorite products like jelly beans, beer, whistles, and motorcycles. We will be traveling across the country and look forward to use this book as a reference for interesting companies which offer tours to the public. For each tour it lists general information, the cost, freebies, if a reservation is needed, the days and hours tours are offered, phone number, directions, nearby attractions and much more.

Customer Reviews:

No Bueno.......2006-11-04

What an overpriced disappointment. This is a single-CD combined with a small and nearly useless book of spanish grammar. Not at all what I expected nor wanted.

Great book, but basic Spanish skills necessary!.......2006-04-18

I thought that this book was very helpful in allowing me to speak with patients in Spanish, teaching me much of the health profession vocabulary that is neglected in most normal Spanish courses. However, it is NOT for someone just beginning to learn the Spanish language. It does not go into detail on basic information or words in Spanish, but offers a practical review of basic Spanish grammar and conjugations. That being said, I had 3 semsters of Spanish in college (almost 8 years ago), and felt that it gave me enough review, as well as greatly added to my Spanish vocabulary.

Not for Beginner.......2005-11-08

The text is good for intermediate Spanish speaker. The book does not give you basic list of numbers, days, months or years in Spanish. The DVD is too advanced for me. The DVD is nothing more than conversational situations--no English translation. It is not a teaching guide or instructional media. The product is not what I expected.

Medical Spanish Text: A Conversational Approach.......2005-10-17

This is a nice book to have if you have had some Spanish and need a refresher and need to learn new vocabulary. It is not organized to be a begginer Spanish book.

Excellent textbook for courses in medical Spanish.......2000-08-23

This is the best textbook that I have found for a course in Spanish for the Medical Professions. It's also an excellent book for anyone in the medical professions who already knows the basics of Spanish and wants to learn the kind of Spanish necessary to interact with his or her patients.

Book Description

Selected from a wealth of rare, authentic 19th-century sources, this collection abounds in professional-quality nautical images. 425 black-and-white maritime illustrations range from sailors and ships of every era to fish, turtles, and seashells — plus swimmers, deep-sea divers, harbors, anchors, lighthouses, mermaids, and much more.

Customer Reviews:

Great, unusual, low-priced gift!.......2006-09-20

"Old-Fashioned Nautical Illustrations" is a wonderful additon to the Dover Publications library of clip art books/CD-ROMs. The 425 images in this particular collection range from the expected (sailboats, seahorses, lighthouses,etc.,) to the wonderfully silly (frogs rowing a boat; doughty sailors carrying fainting damsels from the sea , etc.,). The CD-ROM is accessible via both Windows and MAC, installs easily, and is a breeze to use. Each image is available in 6 different formats (TIFF,PICT,EPS,BMP,JPEG and GIF). At under $20, this would make a great, inexpensive gift for someone who loves all things nautical.

Book Description

Exactly how do animals affect their companion humans’ quality of life? The 7th International Conference on Animals, Health, and Quality of Life set out to explore this question. A major result of this quest was Companion Animals in Human Health, a careful selection of jurored and invited papers from that conference. The articles address human animal interaction (HAI) according to the elements that define quality of life: physical, mental/emotional, and social health; functional health; and general well-being. Beginning with an overview of human animal interaction from historical and value perspectives, the authors develop a conceptual framework for HAI research and quality of life measurement. They then go on to explore the psychosocial and physiological impact of HAI. The concluding sections address the role of companion animals in human development and the training and welfare of animals in therapeutic programs.

As a state-of-the-science document, Companion Animals in Human Health is must reading for all health and social science professionals caring for clients who already have companion animals or for clients who might benefit from such interaction and thus will be of interest to those in the fields of clinical psychology, cognition, developmental psychology, family studies, gerontology, nursing, patient care, psychology, public health, and sociology.

Intriguing, stimulating, amazing book!.......2005-07-10

While studying for cynology certification, I read this book for class. Written by a veterinarian and cynologist, I've never read a book that encouraged me quite this much to delve deeper into the subject and to cross reference so many other books. The appendix contains an overwhelming amount of books to further my studies. The book is worth reading just to find out the latest research into the origin of man, where he moved on land, and how he developed with the dog by his side beginning about 100,000 years ago.
Never a "yawner," this book kept me up until 3am many nights because I just couldn't put it down. The way the author explains theories and development of the domesticated canine is really a mind jolt. Thanks so much for such a great piece of work!

The author's references to other works on the subject is exhaustive and intriguing. I learned so much about so many things concerning the behavior, development, and the canine adaptation and domestication in this book. I could not even begin to tell you all the things I learned about dogs and cats that I never knew.

IMAGES galore.......2005-12-13

This was the first book I bought on labyrinths many years ago. Now I have over a dozen on the subject. I still refer back to this book for it's images. It is a good value for it's cost. I highly recommend it as a reference book.

Great Historical Referece.......2000-04-05

This book on mazes and labyrinths by Matthews is one of a kind. It is one of the ONLY books that gives you such broad yet detailed information on such a fascinating subject. The book includes everything ranging from Egyption labyrinths to Hedge mazes.

Surviving!.......2004-09-07

Cancer is a word that strikes fear into the hearts of those who are diagnosed with this deadly disease. Antoinette Greene was devastated when she was diagnosed with not one, but two forms, lung and breast cancer. The prognosis began a crucial time in her life and she had to decide if she was going to let cancer beat her or if she was going to conquer cancer. Antoinette thought, as we all do, that awful things like this happened to other people and then she realized that to someone else, she was 'other people'.

After much prayer and forethought Antoinette decides that she is not going to let cancer rule her life, she is determined to be the victor in the battle for her life. She suffers through countless chemotherapy and radiation treatments, pain and loss, but yet she persevered.

CANCER! THE DAY TIME STOOD STILL: AN AMERICAN WITH AFRICAN DESCENT BROWN EYES VIEW is an amazing story of a brave woman who wanted to share her story with the world, so she could help others. While the book is very informative and inspirational, the writing often ventures in too many different directions and offers too much detail. I felt that the author could have given general overviews in some situations and would have still gotten her point across. I applaud Ms. Greene for her courage to share her story with others and I pray that she continues to stay in good health.
