Book Description

This is the story of a truly remarkable woman who loved the world and everyone in it, Hitler excepted. Her son traces her life from her early day’s on Chicago’s west side, her loss of her husband Barney and how she coped with raising three children, through her second marriage.

Aunt Bea delves into the many anecdotal stories connected with her life as told by the author with help from his many friends who knew and adored her. It opens with her son, two months after the fact, telling her that he’s divorced after 26 years and her amazing comeback. It follows her life through the telling of one hilarious incident after another in which she was involved. She was a true Auntie Mame and was loved by all she touched.

5 out of 5 stars The Review For This Book.......2001-10-05

It was great, and I'm not just saying that; I'm a closet-case homosexual, so you know it must be true. When I was done reading it, I passed it on to my "friend" Paula. Paula didn't enjoy it as much as I did. In fact, she kinda thought it was crap. Oh well, this wonderful piece of work I will treasure for quite sometime.

    Fries and Riceis about a fourteen year-old girl growing up in three multicultural cities—California, Hong Kong and Shanghai. The fun and the confusion...

    The fun is the same as most teenagers of this age enjoy and treasure; the confusion results from being an American-born Chinese. Fries and Rice explores the complicated feelings of being an American when you live in China, but being a Chinese when you live in America.

            1902. Other volumes in this set include ISBN number(s): 0766172430. Volume 1 of 2. With the aid of material abundantly supplied or carefully collected, Mr. Drummond has constructed a tale unadorned except by inserted fragments of writing from the pen of Dr. Martineau, and can claim no higher merit than presenting to the reader the leading facts of a busy and noble life with clearness and accuracy. Contents: childhood and early home; education; first settlement and beginning of ministerial life; Paradise Street; the continent; Hope Street; professorship in London.

            4 out of 5 stars great review for CREOG.......2006-08-19

            Great book..wonderful quick guide to everything you need to know fast!

            I also used this as a quick review for CREOG's, it has all the high yield stuff they'll test you on!

            Cons: a slightly larger type version should be considered.

            3 out of 5 stars Could be better..........2006-03-10

            For this book, you need a magnifying glass to read it! The print is way too small. It's okay to use when accompanied with a textbook but not great on its own. Additionally, I think it's out of date and not up to ACOG standards. Of the entire 5 week rotation, I picked up this book once!

            5 out of 5 stars review.......2006-02-26

            best little book I had as a resident, comes in handy at least once a week as a community-hospital-based FP.

            5 out of 5 stars *THE* OB/GYN Book for your pocket..........2004-07-15

            You can tell the medical students at your local teaching hospital. They're the ones with the short lab coats and the pockets bulging with small paper-back books.

            For those who are in training to become a Doctor a premium is placed on easily-accessible, highly accurate and important information. I remember going through my clinical rotations and thinking that I needed a "pocket" book for every medical rotation to supplement my massive 20-pound, $100 texts while I was on the wards and in the clinic.

            Early into my OB/GYN Residency I got the hot scoop - THIS is the book to keep in your lab-coat if you're practicing OB/GYN. By the time I was a chief resident this book had saved me time and heartache and saved my patients from my blunders over and over. Like all "pocket" texts, this one doesn't contain lengthy discussions. But it DOES contain what you need to get through that night on OB/GYN call. And the next one.... and the next.

            The treatment for Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (and hundreds of other common clinical situations)- before it's burned into your brain it's right here at your fingertips. It even gives you concise "go-by's" for how to dictate your operative reports for the most common OB/GYN surgeries.

            Since I got my first one a decade ago I've never NOT had a copy of this in my lab coat. I use it infrequently now, but when young trainees seem to need a push towards a clue - I push them towards this little gem.

            5 out of 5 stars The PERFECT handbook for ANYONE in OB/GYN.......2001-12-17

            This handbook survival guide is a FAST, accurate, useful way to reference any topic in Ob/GYN & Infertility.
            As a medical student, this book has allowed me to shine many times over while on my OB/GYN rotation. All students and beyond should own this book. In fact, I feel extremely confident taking my national OB/GYN exam after studying and learning this book. EVERYTHING you need to know is broken down in an easy to read, organized, precise manner containing the most relevant needed information on a topic. Residents and attendings have been amazed at my depth of knowledge since I've read this book. What more could you ask for...

            2 out of 5 stars Simply not the book for me..........2007-08-10

            Goodness, I wish I had read all of the reviews before purchasing this book. When my husband and I found out that we had a few infertility issues to address we promised ourselves to try and stay positive and not to become obessed with having a biological child. The experiences Ms. Swire-Falker had to endure were incredibly unfortunate, but I found myself thinking...stop the procedures and get on with your life. She seemed obsessed with having a baby and I simply didn't relate. My husband and I love children and want to have a family, but not at the cost of my career, our marriage, or financial security. There was some useful information, so I did find the book helpful on some fronts.

            5 out of 5 stars I LOVED this book!.......2007-07-28

            I just started my first IVF cycle. My best friend who also went through IVF bought this book for me. She read it and thought it would help me. It really has!
            I read it in three days. I laughed, cryed and was uplifted. Elizabeth's story is compelling, heartfelt, but most of all imformative. Believe it or not it was even comforting to know we aren't alone in this world of infertility. If you are having trouble starting a family and would like to explore all of your options, I urge you to read this book. It is brilliantly written.

            2 out of 5 stars Should be called the IVF Survival Handbook.......2007-06-24

            While the writing is accessible and conversational, I found this book to be heavily biased towards IVF (at one point stating "In vitro fertilization is truly amazing and miraculous."). Falker provides a wealth of information for women considering IVF, but in her descriptions of alternative treatments, she inevitably makes a statement along the lines of "but IVF is better." I know she wishes she had tried IVF sooner, but for some people IVF just isn't an option. In order to truly be an "infertility survival guide" the book needs to have some focus on the positives of other fertility treatments/options. It really should be called the IVF survival handbook.

            Her personal experiences made for a nice touch, but I found a lot of it too negative. I really don't want infertility to become the sole focus of my life, so I found how all-consuming her process became very, VERY scary. She does offer some helpful hints on how to tell people that you are struggling with fertility and how to deal with the many off-hand comments that people make about having children & dealing wtih fertility issues (although a lot of her focus is on how insensitive people are, so again... venturing to the negative). Personally, I found the book to be negatively focused and a little disheartening.

            4 out of 5 stars Very good overview of IF........2007-03-18

            This book was a quick read with lots of good information. It covers a wide variety of topics, from IF treatments to how it affects your relationship. I really enjoyed this book.

            5 out of 5 stars One of the best.......2007-02-24

            I highly recommend this book for women/couples struggling with infertility. Buy this before you go to your first appointment with your Reproductive Endocronologist - so that you understand the different options which are presented to you and your partner. My husband and I have referred to this book like an encyclopedia over the past 2 years and I am grateful for the author's straight talk. If you want "the skinny" on these issues - this is the book for you.

              The newest edition is comprehensive and concise. Its not longer a pocket edition. I highly recommend this as a quick resource in residency.

              3 out of 5 stars good book but size was not convenient.......2007-09-18

              this book had a lot of useful information but the size of the book has expanded from its previous edition. it did not really fit into the pocket of scrubs or a white coat and made it hard to use on the wards.

              4 out of 5 stars Comprehensive Book for Ob/Gyn Clerkship.......2007-09-16

              A good, thorough review of most ob/gyn topics dealt with on a medical school rotation. Straightforward layout and thorough table of contents made it easy to use in clinic. The amount of information contained is impressive and useful, but it is uncomfortably heavy to be carrying around in your coat pocket all day.

              5 out of 5 stars A great reference.......2007-09-13

              Thorough and comprehensive, this book provides a well-organized outline of almost any obstetrical or gynecological topic. The information is up to date and excellently referenced. The illustrations and figures are clear and easy to use and the book contains multiple tables and schemae to make quick sense of detailed topics. While the book is great to have on hand and does fit into the pocket of a white coat, its greatest drawback is the 3 cm thickness of its 689 pages.

              5 out of 5 stars Great Resource.......2007-09-03

              This is a great book, especially for the price. It is too bad it has lost its "pocket size", but on the other hand you can actually read the font in this edition, and there are several important additions/expansions (actually it does fit in the coat pockets, it is just a little bulky). I would certainly recommend this book to anyone doing Ob/Gyn clerkships, Sub-I's or residency. Other than Up to Date and hospital-specific protocols, this is the most-used reference.

                Book Description

                The art of creating enticing and delectable hors d'oeuvres, like most other art forms, is both steeped in ancient and venerable traditions and constantly revitalized through the creativity and innovation of contemporary artists. In its broadest definition, the term hors d'oeuvre-outside the main piece-expands to include antipasti, pasta, hot and cold egg dishes, vegetable dishes, soups, and salads, as well as bite-sized canapés and other dainties eaten with the fingers or small utensils.

                In The Hors d'Oeuvre Bible, David Paul Larousse spans the length and breadth of the hors d'oeuvre galaxy to delight, amaze, and inspire you with the tastiest, most voluptuous hors d'oeuvre recipes he has collected over more than two decades of dedicated exploration. From classical hors d'oeuvres, now served in only a handful of great restaurants around the world, to the heavenly creations of some of today's most imaginative culinary professionals, Larousse guides you step-by-step through the design, preparation, and presentation of more than 700 spectacular dishes. Numerous procedural drawings and an entire section on fundamentals help you master the nuts-and-bolts techniques of hors d'oeuvre preparation, and "architectural drawings" illustrate the art of building canapés that are as stunning to the eye as they are pleasing to the palate. Sixteen pages of full-color photographs set a standard of elegance and style for finished presentations. Larousse also supplies colorful anecdotes on the origins of various dishes, how they got their names, and the people who were inspired to create them.

                Not only does The Hors d'Oeuvre Bible provide all the techniques and practical information you need for perfect preparation of the many recipes presented, but also it will open your eyes to a world of artistic possibilities. It will inspire you to develop your own special style of preparation and to create sublime hors d'oeuvres of your own. A rich and rewarding recipe and reference source for food and cooking professionals and dedicated amateur cooks, this book is also a valuable learning tool for culinary students that will remain a trusted companion long after course work is completed.

                From savory delicacies designed to be eaten with the fingers, to tempting first courses and exquisite side dishes, elegantly prepared hors d'oeuvres are as enticing to the eye as they are pleasing to the palate. With this comprehensive, professional-level reference/recipe book, you will learn step-by-step how to design, construct, and present these choice morsels and have your guests begging for more.
                * This complete guide to the creation of over 700 incomparable delicacies includes recipes for canapés, antipasti, tartlets and barquettes, puffs/pastries/croustades, fish and shellfish, timbales, fruit and vegetable dishes, salads, and more
                * 60 unique procedural drawings illustrate preparation techniques
                * 30 architectural drawings show you how to build canapés as miniature works of art
                * 16 pages of stunning full-color photographs illustrate finished hors d'oeuvre presentations

                The Hors d'Oeuvre Bible is destined to become one of the most prized possessions of the professional chef, the dedicated amateur, the caterer, as well as the aspiring student.

                5 out of 5 stars Has it All for Professional or Amateur.......2005-05-24

                Larousse is a classicist and presents classic Western cuisine in this book.

                The book is geared towards the professional in several ways. Firstly, it provides recipes for just about every type of hor d'oeuvre you could possibly imagine from the Western classical tradition. Larousse even includes a recipes for puff pastry. Secondly, Larousse assumes that you have mastered certain standard sauces like Mornay or Hollandaise. I think this is acceptable since the book already provides so much information on hors d'oeuvres that it would be unmanageable if Larousse tried to cover classic sauces. I recognized the names of all the sauces and the reader shouldn't have a hard time getting recipes for them.

                      Cacti and succulents are among the most bizarre and beautiful plants a gardener can grow—and included here are some of the most remarkable of them all: stapeliads and ceropegias. The Brooklyn Botanic Garden has brought together master gardeners from across the country, who show how easy it is to cultivate a collection of cacti and succulents on a windowsill or under artificial lights. They also introduce varieties that are hardy enough to grow outside in most climates. There are chapters on medicinal plants and succulent bonsai, plus advice on how experts groom their plants for competition. Finally, readers can learn how to help save the cacti and succulents that are threatened with extinction in the wild.

                      1 out of 5 stars Useful if your last name is "Cleaver".......2000-12-08

                      There is a simple test to determine whether your level of sexual maturity and experience surpasses the level to which this book is addressed...Do you giggle nervously and blush whenever you hear the word &quot....."? If you've made it past that stage, then you're ahead of this book. Naive, uninspired, unsophisticated, shallow, brainless and silly are all words that come to mind. Ozzie and Harriet would have found it "naughty", but Mike and Carol Brady would have probably fallen asleep before chapter two.

                        This book clearly states the life of lots of the artists in the book, but not enough on their art related life. The book is intresting, but not the best book in the world. This book is good for reports, and has almost every artist you can think of. I think that this book is good if you are reading it for a reason, but if you are reading it because you have no other books to read, then it might get boring.

                                    5 out of 5 stars Outstanding!.......2001-08-14

                                    Every military officer should read this book. He details how other officers and enlisted acted as POWs...very revealing. He stood by the values of the Army under extreme personal hardship showing it can be done!

                                    5 out of 5 stars Excellent revealing prisoner of war autobiographical account.......1998-09-23

                                    If you want to get a good idea of what it's like to be on Corregidor and have the Japanese strafe and bomb and attack you, Bunker's account is excellent. It is down to earth and very revealing in day to day activity in trying to copy with a very frustrating situation.....

                                    5 out of 5 stars Great!!!!.......1997-08-13

                                    Colonel Bunker tried to tell it all....The Fall of Corregidor, as told by the then Seaward Defense Commander of the Harbor Defenses of Manila and Subic Bays. Although from a personal standpoint, there were operational activities cited in his diary such as the "Geary Shoot to Bataan", "Ballistic testing of Sea Rifles and ammunition", "Counter Battery Operations vs the Japanese", to name a few.....The later half of the book describes Colonel Bunker's life as a POW..Again the book has it's share of wrong dates (credit the editor of the diary, Barlow) for stating that Battery Geary blew up on the 18th of April. Correction: it was May 2, '42. I'm sorry that I had to point this out because I do my "homework" when it comes to Corregidor, but nevertheless, it's still a great book...
