                5 out of 5 stars A good friend for CPA exam candidates.......2000-11-19

                Generally speaking, auditing is the most difficult subject for CPA exam candidates. While most of candidates have no experince about auditing, the questions of CPA exam deal focus on not theoretical area but practical audit problem. I strongly recommend this book as essential reference for CPA exam preparation.

                5 out of 5 stars great book.......2006-04-17

                I am very pleased with the book as it covers most of the brands with a realisic price list that you can relate to when buying a watch. the problem arises from the fact that it relates to 2004 watches and it is called 2005,so if you are buying a new watch you will not know the price until it is too late.
                I have the 2006 book (2005 watches)now and it is a great reference book to have

                    Book Description

                    With the growing recognition that a wisely and sensitively planted garden has a lot to offer to wildlife and the food web, more and more people are looking for ways to make their gardens environmentally friendly. However, gardeners have tended to assume that they need a lot of space to create habitats for wildlife and to evoke wild and natural places. In Natural Gardening in Small Spaces, renowned plantsman Noël Kingsbury refutes that presumption, showing how even in a small garden you can create a sustainable ecosystem that looks great --- and, once established, largely looks after itself. More than 150 glorious photographs of small natural gardens provide visual confirmation of Noël Kingsbury's contention that even the smallest garden can provide a natural haven.

                        "A great English garden may be associated with a renowned castle or a picturesque manor house, but the much celebrated team of Lawson and Taylor chose to include all types of private gardens in their stunning new book, which touches on a range of examples of garden designs and principles most successfully carried out. Lawson never fails to delight with photographs of absolutely gorgeous views, be it a tiny roadside cottage garden or the restoration of a revered country estate. And Taylor is surely one of the most erudite of contemporary garden writers. Here she dazzles with descriptions that inform, inspire, and entertain. Culminating this breathtaking tour is a list of addresses for readers planning a visit. Overall, an alluring contribution to gardening literature." -Booklist-

                          Book Description

                          From the beginning, the subject of sex has been notably absent from the family therapy literature. In this timely, challenging, often controversial volume prominent clinicians present their varied views about intimacy, sex, and gender issues that affect family process, therapy, and not least of all, themselves. Delineating the sexual and intimacy structures that exist in families, contributors demonstrate how these structures determine the nature of close relationships. They also explore gender differences in the definition, expectation, and experience of intimacy and the interrelationships among caring, intimacy, and sexuality.

                          INTIMATE ENVIRONMENTS considers the reciprocities between systems and developmental theories, individual/couple and couple/family, and the therapist and client. Personal and professional views and experiences of the therapist, clinical and theoretical perspectives, and gender influences on sexuality, intimacy, and love are also examined.

                          The book is divided into three major sections covering theory, person-of-the-therapist, and clinical issues. Within the second section is a unique ``Conversations' chapter based on inter-and intra-gender discussions among the editors and four distinguished writers and practitioners--Peggy Penn, Maggie Scharf, Donald Bloch, and Carlos Sluzki. In this revealing chapter, the six participants openly discuss their attitudes toward the process as well as the content of intimacy, sexuality in relation to family therapy.

                          The first complete volume to deal unflinchingly with these issues, INTIMATE ENVIRONMENTS offers profound implications for family therapy training and practice. As such, it will be invaluable for practitioners in the field, as well as an excellent resource for psychiatrists, psychologists and social workers.

                          3 out of 5 stars *sigh* not something that a Garbage fan would really want.......1999-11-18

                          I ordered this book over Amazon.com, and I just got it yesturday. Sorry to say, but I was sort of disappointed when I got finished reading it. Yes, it was interesting and neat to see all of the pics, but I still don't think it's worth buying. I also ordered another book of Garbage called Garbage: The Darker Religion. NOW, that's a great book! That covers just about everything I need to know about my favorite band...GARBAGE!

                          this book has nothing interesting. thats all i can say. its definatly not something you'll read and read again.

                          2 out of 5 stars A thorough, but slim and poorly illustrated, cuttings job.......1998-05-19

                          When I interviewed Garbage for The Sunday Times in April 1998, I showed them this book, and they guffawed at the photographs. "These pictures are so-oooo lo-fi," pronounced drummer Butch Vig, suggesting the publishers had carefully selected the worst exposures from their past photo shoots. Best of all is a full-page black-and-white shot near the middle (there are no page numbers in this after-dinner-mint-slim volume) of a guitarist who has NOTHING AT ALL TO DO WITH THIS BAND. If anyone knows who this blissed-out cuckoo in the Garbage nest is, please let me or the band know. Picture gripes aside, it's not a bad piece of work. The text is quite thorough for a cuttings job - Stuart Coles has done more reading around the subject than a lot of cash-in merchants feel obliged to do. Not total garbage, then.

                          Book Description

                          Two thousand nine hundred forty-five men lined up in four motorized columns immediately behind the German Army on June 22, 1941 as it prepared to launch Operation Barbarossa Ð the German attack on the Soviet Union Ð an attack designed to win the war. Their mission Ð for the glory of Greater Germany Ð was to butcher as many human beings as they could get their hands on Ð men, women and children who were at that very moment peacefully sleeping in their warm beds in dozens of large cities and scores of small hamlets from the Gulf of Finland to the Black Sea, and from the border with old Poland to the outskirts of Moscow. The field men of the Einsatzkommandos, the men of Bach and Beethoven, Grimm and Gutenberg Ð and now Hitler and Heydrich Ð were very thorough at what they did. Over the course of the next two years, by means of machine-guns, carbines, gas vans, explosives, rifle butts or ax handles, the field men would slaughter 1,300,000 people. The Field Men, a companion volume to MacLean's The Camp Men: the SS Officers Who Ran the Nazi Concentration Camp System, covers the entire gamut, from the organization of the units, to the SS officers who served in this scourge on the Eastern Front. Some 380 SS officers are described in full detail and extensively analyzed. The photographic section of the book contains over 175 photographs, while detailed maps show the locations for each unit throughout the campaign., over 175 b/w photographs and maps, 8 1/2" x 11"

                          4 out of 5 stars very interesting photo section.......2007-03-08

                          Consisting of a long section presenting (very abridged) cv's, and a photo section, the photos are what makes the tome valuable. These pictures aren't to be found elsewhere, and for those who are fond of reading facial features, they make for a very interesting journey into the heinous world of everyday neighbors turned mass murderers. The leaders of the Einsatzgruppen in particular were a crowd of often accomplished lawyers conversant in several languages, so their voyage into the abyss is all the more disturbing.

                          Not a few of the likenesses shown in this volume might have blended in at any Ivy League law school. Also, note a faint resemblance of one of the most bloodthirsty Einsatzgruppen leaders standing trial in Nuremberg, Paul Blobel, to the Unabomber. (Blobel having been the person who, driving with Albert Speer to Blobel's quarters near Kiev one night in 1941, passed through the Babiy Yar valley. According to Speer, the car headlights illuminated the earth erupting with eerie fog plumes the way the Yellowstone Park earth erupts. Blobel turned to Speer and remarked: "Here, my 30.000 Jews are resting.")

                          As more information related to the persons shown is to be found on the internet at a mouse's stroke, the cv section is basically just a starter, and could well have been done away with.

                          4 out of 5 stars Great Research!.......2000-11-14

                          I'm a little surprised that a review of this excellent book has not been written sooner. French McLean has once again proven his ability to conduct archival research and translate it into a creative and effective reference tool for serious historians. I highly recommend this book--it is a jolt to the senses to see how mainly ordinary bureaucrats could be lured by the "system" into committing the massive-scale murders that they did. This is probably the first book of its kind to present that depth of insight into Heydrich's SD. Well done, French.
