Good overview, if a bit outdated.......2004-05-30
Overall not a bad book, but you can probably find all of this information, plus information on newer developments, in some of the other books on IBD. Needless to say, if you buy this book, don't make it your only book on IBD.
Great information on Crohn's Disease.......2003-12-27
A must have book for anyone suffering from these diseases.......2001-06-02
This book is devided in three major sections. The first part is about The Nature of the disease. In this section the book discusses basic definitions, who gets the diseases, what causes them, how it is diagnosed, and systemic manifestations.
The next section is about Treating the Diseases. This section covers medications and their side effects, nutritional complications, surgery, and the threat of cancer.
The last section covers Living with the Diseases. This talks about diseases in children, pregnancy, older people, emotions, hospitalization, life insurance and medical insurance, what to do if you become disabled.
I recommend this book for anyone who suffers with either of these diseases. This book is a fantastic handbook/reference book for people who are sick with these illnesses. It has helped me unterstand my Crohn's disease better then I ever thought possible. I wish you all the best!!
If you have IBD you need this book........2000-10-14

AHS Practical Guide: Lawns & Groundcovers.......2000-05-04
I am not a lawn or gardening expert, but this little book seems to me to be chock full of good information. The section on ground covers other than grass, such as bulbs, perenials, and bushes is particularly good for such a short book. In addition, there are scores of tips and techniques for everthing from filling in low spots in your lawn to raking and aerating to planting bulbs under your lawn and dividing and propagating bulbs and other plants.
There are deficiencies. In particular, there is no discussion of soil PH, and the coverage of grass species is poor. A page on each of these topics would improve the book a great deal. A simple chart of grass species and their characteristics would be a great help.
I would characterize this as an "idea" book. You will get a lot of useful information about how to care for your grounds, but you will need to supplement this book with another for really comprehensive coverage of lawn care. Try "Lawn Care for Dummies."
More important, you will get good ideas about how to make your lawn and gardens stand out. In this regard, the photographs alone are worth the price of the book.

History: Fiction or Science? Dating methods as offered by mathematical statistics. Eclipses and zodiacs. Chronology Vol.I
Anatoly Fomenko Manufacturer: Delamere Resources ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 2913621074 Release Date: 2007-03-19 |
Product Description
History: Fiction or Science? is the most explosive tractate on history ever written - however, every theory it contains, no matter how unorthodox, is backed by solid scientific data. The book is well-illustrated, contains over 446 graphs and illustrations, copies of ancient manuscripts, and countless facts attesting to the falsity of the chronology used nowadays, which never cease to amaze the reader. Eminent mathematician proves that: Jesus Christ was born in 1153 and crucified in 1186 The Old Testament refers to mediaeval events. Apocalypse was written after 1486. Does this sound uncanny? This version of events is substantiated by hard facts and logic - validated by new astronomical research and statistical analysis of ancient sources - to a greater extent than everything you may have read and heard about history before. The dominating historical discourse in its current state was essentially crafted in the XVI century from a rather contradictory jumble of sources such as innumerable copies of ancient Latin and Greek manuscripts whose originals had vanished in the Dark Ages and the allegedly irrefutable proof offered by late mediaeval astronomers, resting upon the power of ecclesial authorities. Nearly all of its components are blatantly untrue! For some of us, it shall possibly be quite disturbing to see the magnificent edifice of classical history to turn into an ominous simulacrum brooding over the snake pit of mediaeval politics. Twice so, in fact: the first seeing the legendary millenarian dust on the ancient marble turn into a mere layer of dirt - one that meticulous unprejudiced research can eventually remove. The second, and greater, attack of unease comes with the awareness of just how many areas of human knowledge still trust the three elephants of the consensual chronology to support them. Nothing can remedy that except for an individual chronological revolution happening in the minds of a large enough number of people.Customer Reviews:

In Hell There Is A Place Called Death's Railway
Manufacturer: Angel Station, Inc. ProductGroup: Book Binding: CD-ROM ASIN: 0967697107 |
Book Description
In Hell There Is A Place Called Death's Railway is a multimedia story of one man's capture in November 1942 and his eventual veteran's status in 1987. For three years Stanley Willner, a merchant marine officer, was held as a military prisoner of war by the Japanese Imperial Army. He, like his fellow prisoners, was pressed into slave labor in the rush to build the Burma - Siam (Thailand) railway, which became known as Death's Railway because so many died in its construction. Death's Railway was made famous by the movie The Bridge on the River Kwai. Surviving the unimaginable, Willner, weighing 80 pounds, returned home without benefit of medical treatment or appreciation. No music played. No speeches were given. He was left to make his own recovery and deal with the horrors imprinted on his soul. In addition to this fascinating story, Willner created a scrap book. The writings and images, annotated by Willner's audio comments, provide a rare glimpse into the most desperate and hopeless of times.
