            1 out of 5 stars Stuck in the 1980's.......2006-01-30

            I couldn't believe it when I got this thing in the mail. The data set for the software is on a FLOPPY DISK! How many students have even seen one? It's almost impossible to buy a computer with a floppy disk drive these days. Worse yet, the software is antiquated, with an obsolete user interface and a worthless help system. I had to upload the data files to our shared data area so that the other students could download them and write them onto some other kind of drive (USB stick, for example). You MUST have the data saved to a rewritable drive - it won't accept a directory on your hard drive.

            What a piece of junk, and at an outrageous price. Oh yes, did I mention that the software doesn't match the written instructions in the book?

The result of their work is the briefest two/three-semester intermediate text on the market. This new streamlined size will also allow you to introduce case material or special readings as you choose.

                              The name Rolex is recognized around the world. As an icon of beauty, quality, accuracy, style, and taste. While there are other fine manufacturers of timepieces, none has reached this pinnacle of public respect and acclaim. The watches produced by Rolex over the last 90 years are celebrated in this lavishly illustrated classic, now in an expanded second edition. Dowling and Hess, both acknowledged Rolex authorities, have captured the watches' beauty in color photography and present the most thorough and extensive history written of the company. Information for collectors and newly revised market values of the watches make this a truly useful volume, one that will be cherished by watch lovers around the world.

                              4 out of 5 stars Great Rolex reference, but not much in updates for 3rd edition.......2007-08-19

                              For a comprehensive Rolex history with pictures, this is one of the best books out there. I definitely recommend this book for the Rolex enthusiast. Because it focuses mostly on history, the pictures are mostly of vintage models.

                              I own the 2nd edition (published 2001) and was excited when I saw the 3rd edition available (published 2006). I thought maybe there would be updates on the newer watches especially the 50th Anniversary Submariner and Day-Date (the green ones). To my disappointment, the 2nd and 3rd editions appeared to be identical except for the price guide at the end of the book. Yes, it's nice to have updated numbers, but I feel an updated edition should mention some updated watches as well.

                              A printing error on page 383 was not corrected in this 3rd edition either. That page shows a picture of an upside down Seadweller, but the print below the picture says "The Yachtmaster."

                              If you already own the 2nd edition and don't care for an updated price list, there's no need to spend $75+ for the 3rd edition. However, the 3rd edition is a good purchase for the first time buyer.

                              Overall I give the book 5 stars, but I'm giving it 4 stars here because of the lack of updates for the 3rd edition.

                              5 out of 5 stars Simply the Rolex bible.......2007-08-18

                              Not much to say about the book. It has evertthing a Rolex collector will neeed.
                              The best pictures published on watches, ever, No book comes close.

                              5 out of 5 stars The best Rolex reference history book........2007-08-15

                              Its worth every penny if you want a reference book on Rolex. No book comes close.
                              The pictures and quality are fantastic, It is a reference book and not a book that is light reading, its full of heavy detail on every Rolex ever made up to 1999.
                              Another edition should be due about now, for updates.
                              I 100% recommend to any Rolex enhusiast, Rolex dealer or Rolex collector. There simply is no book with more detail on the market.

                              5 out of 5 stars Rolex Wristwatches Book Review.......2007-01-21

                              This great book gave me details about Rolex and their watches that I could not gather anywhere else. I learned basics about the watches that the Rolex dealers are unable to answer. If you own a Rolex, you should own this book.

                                5 out of 5 stars My favorite Memory Makers book yet!.......2005-04-03

                                Straight from the Memory Makers Masters, who are the annually chosen top 10 scrapbookers for Memory Makers Magazine, comes this technique book from MM. I have found this to be the best one yet, showing progressive designs and to-the-point tips for creating your own pages. I've been happy with their books in the past, but always wished they'd show more of the collage/shabby chic/vintage look that's popular now, and this one has definitely hit the mark!

                                Each scrapbook page presented comes with it's own little paragraph telling how the page was made and it's own tip or technique box that highlights a particular element of the design. Chapters include: transparent embellishments, geometric shapes, playful page themes, journaling, color, interactive elements, creative typography, texture, sewing and notions, and design details.

                                The book is chock-full of gorgeous layouts and I highly recommend it to help get your creative juices flowing!

                                California may be the golden state but it is also a garden state. Innumerable gardens have been made since the Europeans first came, starting with the Franciscan missionaries.The gold rush was the defining period, leading to immense expenditures by newly rich miners.

                                This book discusses many simple but beautiful gardens created by waves of immigrants. Gardens were necessary for food but also represented repose and leisure. The nature and style of domestic and private gardens shape the landscape of cities and towns just as much as large civic architectural achievements.

                                5 out of 5 stars For California History Buffs and Lovers of Gardens.......2003-09-18

                                Based on a manuscript written by Harry Butterfield, a Californian devoted to California plants and enthralled by its home gardens, this book owes its existence to the spade-work of Dr. Judith M. Taylor. Taylor found the manuscript by accident, while researching her earlier book on the California olive. While respecting the original record in Butterfield's manuscript, Taylor expands and illuminates it, providing a detailed record of specific California locations, immigrant gardeners and the plants and gardens they cultivated. Taylor's enthusiasm for her subject, fine research and good writing combine in a valuable account of a defining and precious part of California's history.

                                5 out of 5 stars A Different Look at History.......2003-08-31

                                If you are a California gardener or history buff, this is a book for you. I am not a gardener, but I found this to be a totally new perspective on California history. If you have ever wondered about those Eucalyptus trees or the California citrus industry, there is information here. The vision of some of the familiar historical names selecting the plants for their gardens provides a new touch of humanity to these people. Dr. Taylor is to be commended for rescuing Harry Butterfield's work from oblivion and adding her own research in updating it. A most interesting book!

                                5 out of 5 stars The gardens of the Golden State.......2003-07-08

                                Only a couple of years after the gold rush, there were already delightful gardens in San Francisco and other parts of California.The old cities such a Monterey and Santa Barbara had Spanish gardens dating from the time of the missions.
                                Nurserymen arrived in droves almost as soon as the gold was discovered. This book describes mnore than 75 early nurseries and their owners in some detail. Nurseries were essential to the creation of gardens.
                                The building of Golden Gate Park, San Francisco's largset garden,is given pride of place in this detailed and painstaking work.You will learn how that fearsome old character John Mclaren, superintendent of the park for almost 50 years, came to the park 17 years after it had been created by William Hammond Hall.There is no memorial to Hall anywhere to be found.
                                The author based this work on a manuscript about old California gardens. She found it lying in a box in the university archives, thirty years after it had been written.Dr Taylor rescued it from oblivion, augmented it extensively and re-wrote large sections to conform with modern taste and style.The archival images alone are priceless.
                                Almost every county in California is mentioned, reviving the names and memories of wonderful citizens who added something to the state's beauty. They also contributed to establishing the horticultural industry, a very large segment of California's economy.
                                Reading this book gives you a feeling for how plants were imported to the state from all over the world and when some of the most interesting ones arrived. Many came from Australia and the Orient.The eucalyptus tree, so controversial now, came with the first wave of Australian gold miners.
                                I recommend it very highly.

It's the best love story i've read in a long time, maybe the best love story i've ever read. I gave it five stars, but its a seven star book. I'll be looking for more to read from this wonderful author. Thanks bill, you made me feel great. Julie

                                I am a 41 year old mother of two in perfect health - except for the fact that I had a stroke two weeks ago following a chiropratic manipulation to the neck for a migraine. This author calls such strokes "anecdotal" and claims they're less likely to happen due to the chiropractor than "a trip to the beauty parlor." Well, I haven't been to the beauty parlor in three months. My neurologist, who is considered the best in my state, is convinced that my stroke (caused by a dissection of the vertebral artery) was caused by chiropractic manipulation. I find the statement supporting chiropractic care for migraines in this book to be incredibly careless. PLEASE, before you have your neck adjusted by a chiropractor, do some research. Neurologists in general are very against chiropractic neck manipulation because they see too many cases like mine. As they have much more education than the chiropractors who argue against this claim, I'll believe them. Don't risk your life to make a migraine feel better. There are better ways.

                                5 out of 5 stars Answers for Migraine Pain.......2002-09-02

                                This book is filled with every option available for Migraine pain relief. It discusses all of the pharmacology remedies as well as holistic and non-traditional methods of pain relief, which include diet, exercise, bio-feedback, food triggers, stress and chemical triggers as well as posture. It includes headache diaries and questionaires to help assist you with your communication with your doctors visits. It discusses anti-inflamitory, anti-seizure, nsaid, anti-depression, anti-anxiety treatments that some doctors use to in the prevention of Migraine pain for chronic pain sufferors. I highly recommend this book as it sheds light on understanding the treatments and methods that doctors are using and why some remedies work for some and not others. This book also discusses the various types of testing and which ones are best, not only imaging but also including blood tests. Take care. Julie

                                4 out of 5 stars Basic Information.......2000-04-07

                                While very readable and informative, this book provides information that I suspect most long-suffering migraineurs already have. If you or your child have just been diagnosed with migraine, and you want a clearly presented, very general overview of the condition and its current treatments, this is the book for you.

                                5 out of 5 stars This is an excellent book for Migraneurs.......1998-07-30

                                Using simple language, yet including relevant details, this book addresses almost every aspect of living with migraines. Very highly recommended for those who want to learn more about how migraines can occur and, more importantly, how to minimise them. An excellent chapter on everyday living and how to prevent migraines on a daily basis. Thanks for a great book!

                                Book Description

                                This rich, diverse, and intelligent collection of hip-hop and rap album reviews includes pieces from some of the country's most talented critics on hip-hop music, drawing on a range of expertise from writers at such magazines as Spin, Rolling Stone, The Source, and Vibe. With over 40 entries covering more than 60 classic albums, it disproves the idea that there is a dearth of intelligent commentary and criticism on rap music. Essays and reviews include observations on the music and meaning of the Beastie Boys, Cypress Hill, Eminem, Ice-T, Public Enemy, and Run DMC. Tupac's legacy, Jay-Z's pop allure, and Pharcyde's black masculinity issues are also explored.

                                3 out of 5 stars Albums Book Describes...Classic; The Book Itself...Ummm.......2006-12-23

                                Oliver Wang has assembled a group of some of the greatest writers/media assassins to create a book of essays, containing some of hip hops greatest records. The book covers everything from the Cash Money crew down to Gangstarr. No years of hip hop history is left out up to 1998. Various writers cover certain albums which is a gift and a curse. A gift in that it brings out the passion of each writers experiences with the music they are documenting. A curse in that it seems like a bunch of essays were just jumbled alphabetically, by group name together with no cohesive reading from one page to the next. There are some pros and cons when reading this book.

                                One thing that is apparent are the memories the book provokes. For example, Oliver Wangs first time when his life was forever changed by "3 Feet High and Rising". Dante Ross' involvement in the making of seminal classics like "Mecca and The Soul Brother" and the self titled debut of "Cypress Hill". And of coarse, the music that is documented in each essay. However, there are some cons that really drags this book down from being great.

                                First off, even though many great records are covered...it is not nearly enough. Maybe time has made many of the non-covered material age like fine wine since the book came out, but there are dozens of records off the head that deserved recognition. With so many renknowned journalists, you'd think they could expand this hand book into something more. However, this minor criticism is shadowed by something much worse. Certain writers actually misquote the artists they are documenting frequently. For example, on pages 42-43 the writer transposes quotes between Brand Nubians Sadat X and Grand Puba. It's a little embarrassing, especially when they state, "back in 1990 everybody thought Grand Puba was the best emcee," when they were using Sadat X quotes by example. On page 81, another writer misquotes Willie D when Scarface used the line, "keep letting the gov't dictate what you hear/ Next they'll put stickers on your ears" from "We Can't Be Stopped". The misquotes keeps coming. On page 114, the writer quotes Prodigy using the opening line on "Start of Your Ending" with "I keep it real packin' steal" when it was in fact a Havoc line.

                                In conclusion, the frequent "not giving credit where it is due" hurts "Classic Material, The Hip Hop-Album Guide" from being great. I myself have made mistakes reviewing (like any human being) but from people whose profession is to critique albums presents some rough edges. Still..."Classic Material" is a solid read, front to back, with plenty of memorable moments. Hopefully, if there is another book in the making, it can be more accurate.

                                I personally know Mr. Gordon, it was he who sold me this book and signed it for me. Its truely sad how one can experience such a horrible time and still be a civilized individual.

                                He did charge me full price including taxes... !@#$%

                                5 out of 5 stars My first biography.......2005-08-09

                                This book was so inspiring and real. I just read it in my middle school english class. The pain and enduring was very descriptive, and it's really sad to know that what you're reading actually happened. I'll definitly be reading more biographies and nonfictions in the future.

                                5 out of 5 stars This is a book about the indomitable human spirit.......1998-12-06

                                This book should be required reading for everybody. It is the story of a child caught in the insanities of war, and experiencing man's inhumanity to man. This is the story of little boy Harold Gordon, who went through the Holocaust at age 10 and miraculously survived several concentration camps and incredible horrors. Torn from a very poor, but adequate life, he experienced starvation, freezing, violent deaths in the family and all other kids of indescribable cruelties. The book takes us along on an impossible journey of tragedy, cruelty, and finally, triumph of the indomitable human spirit. This book is not about despair, but one of overcoming and forgiving, and most importantly, of the incredible strengths we have inside. This is a book you won't be able to put down until you finish. It's a book that will move you to tears as you go through it, and will have you smile and cheer when you are finished.
