My son likes this book.......2006-08-17

After taking Algebra and buying a title on it from the same author my son really wanted this book to help him with Geometry.
The teacher who helped him in Algebra really liked these books and recommended them as well.

GEOMETERY TUTOR NIGHTMARE.......2005-07-29

If you want to learn more about high school geometry, do not buy this book. It has a bad layout and will definitely confuse you more than helping you understand geometry. This book is a nightmare which will intimidate you from even looking at geometry again. The rating on this book is really a "0" but I had to put a "1 star" because it did not go lower than this rating. Please do not waste your time buying this book.

helpful and inexpensive.......2005-04-18

Compact, inexpensive and easy to use - this book
has it all and it's been field tested successfully
on a number of occasions. It covers everything in
two dimensions and even has a chapter on solid geometry.
The format is particularly attractive making it possible
to open the book to any page and dive right in. The
statement of each problem is highlighted and every section
clearly labeled which makes navigating the book trouble free.
In addition, the authors often give two proofs for a problem -
the first an informal presentation giving the motivation and
plan of attack - to be followed by the formal two column proof.
A student can read most of this alone and could read it cover
to cover with the help of any competent tutor.

Horrible layout.......2005-03-16

I am a teacher and private tutor, and I bought this book (and The Algebra Tutor) for reference during my tutoring sessions. Both of the books contained a lot of general information, but were extremely difficult to navigate through. The problems and answers were not worded in an easily understandable manner, and the layout of the "chapters," problems, and even index were confusing. Your school textbook is easier to understand! It looks like someone typed the entire book on an old typewriter. Both of my books will be donated to my school library, as I have found no help in them. Please buy something else!

This book is a must-have :-).......2007-02-11

This was my first book about paper-piecing and now I only want more! Such lovely projects are in this book. This is a book for all generations of quilters! I'm going to make the weddingsampler for the anniversery of my parents and I want to make the turtle wall-hanging for my hobbyroom :). And the cats.... they are just like mine :) So another project on my to-do list :) I can't wait to see more books of this designer!

Fanciful quilts to paper piece.......2006-08-27

I am so glad a friend pointed this book out to me. We have a grandson and I can't wait to get started on a quilt from this book for him.

A great Book!.......2005-02-18

I loved reading Fanciful quilts to paper piece. It's full of great quilts, good photo's showing how to do things and clear directions for the patterns themselves. The writer also showed different ways of using the blocks or sections of a pattern to make something else as well - not a common occurance and much appriciated!

The pattern i tried first was the windmill block and it went together like a dream!

Fanciful Quilts To Paper Piece.......2005-02-17

I purchased this book because of the dog quilt on the front cover. Between my daughter and I we have 5 dachshunds and I thought the quilt would be perfect for us. The entire book is awesome! I found several other quilts I want to make especially the play quilt for my twin grandsons. The instructions for paper piecing include some pointers I have never seen before and prove to be extremely helpful. I highly recommend this book, even if you are a beginner.

Fanciful Quilts to Paper Piece.......2005-02-13

Fanciful Quilts is a wonderful paper piecing book. It has a touch of Holland with the windmills and tulips. The wedding quilt would be a beautiful present for that special bride and groom. For the special little boy who has to have a town for his little cars, this book shows you how to create such a town. Other quilts include a rose quilt, a wilderness quilt, a cat quilt, bear quilt, turtle quilt, and the cute cover quilt, the dog quilt.

The book is beautifully photographed and also includes extra ideas for each project. Fanciful Quilts to Paper Piece is a lovely addition to any quilter book shelf. I highly recommend this book. I hope this is just the first of many books Wendy will write!

Book Description

This volume provides a broad picture of the economic development of Sweden during the sixteenth century. The source material available for exploring agrarian change during this era is in some respects perhaps the best in Europe, comprising more than two million pages of tax records in the archives. Results are discussed and interpreted against a broad background of international research, where the Swedish case can illustrate general European tendencies. The regional division of labor, the wealth of the peasants and the tendencies towards market expansion are examined. New ways of exploiting the resources of the landscape, involving the effectivization of the use of marginal lands, are studied. Sweden's agriculture was in a certain sense a continuation of the medieval economy, but this century also brought decisive change. A strong central state was formed. What happened to agricultural production and the conditions of the peasantry as Sweden approached the Great Power Era?

For Peolple willing to learn marketing concepts, theory and take it to practice this is the perfect book.

Totally Recommend it!!

The best.......2006-03-02

I've spent the last 8 years assisting entrepreneurial start-ups as well as existing entrepreneurial ventures, and this book is easily the best I've found for really focusing those companies and helping them to create a truly successful marketing plan. It's a lot of work, but the work on the front end saves quite a lot of work down the line, and results in a much better return on investment. I can't recommend this book highly enough.

The best hands-on book available.......2005-10-12

I've been using this book since 1995. It's not the type of book you'd read cover to cover, but it's an invaluable planning resource for any marketing manager. The authors leave no stoned unturned. If you are writing a plan or launching a business, this is the best practical book out there. Other marketing books get bogged down in theoretical case studies that offer no hands-on tools. This book is a great tool.

Marketing for the Masochist.......2003-08-01

I guess I'm really going against the masses with my 2-star review of this book since the authors claim that it was so successful it warranted a third edition, but I was sorely disappointed with my purchase and plan on returning it. The book opens up with a thorough and dry introduction about why *disciplined* marketing planning is so important. I can't say I was really sold on their main argument--which was basically that marketing can only be done well when it's totally comprehensive and systematic. Those are definitely good traits to adopt in any undertaking, but I just feel that this book is overkill.

The book touts its main benefit as reducing the complexity of coming up with a marketing plan to "just" a 10-step process. It then takes two chapters and about 75 pages just to outline only the first step of this process, called the business review, and describes in painstaking detail everything that the marketer or marketing consultant should do in order to get as thorough an understanding of the business as possible.

Don't get me wrong, I'm all about doing my due diligence and developing a thorough understanding of the company I'm doing a marketing plan for, but creating a marketing plan in the manner that these authors describe would easily take over 300 hours of time.

What's more, I don't get the sense from this book that there is an overarching guiding theory into which all elements of the book can be placed in context. Rather, it seems the approach of the authors is to take every known idea from the canon of marketing and incorporate each idea into some step of the lengthy 10-step process.

In the end, I just feel like this book goes overboard with the requirements it demands of the "disciplined" and "comprehensive" marketer. I can see why they use the word disciplined to describe their approach since in my view it would be truly painful to endure it.

Good as a reference book.......2001-09-15

This is a good reference marketing plan book for novice people who are serious about learning the right process and fundational technique. Even it was printed in 10 years ago, I was surprised about it is very useful and not out of date at all. It is good to apply to enterprise software business as well, especially in the current market, solid marketing plan is one of key to evulate the product and company success. I have this book as a reference book if you have some budget to keep a few handy marketing books near you.

Cutting edge, circa 1974.......2000-02-28

If you're new to a methodical approach to planning a marketing program, this book probably will help you sort through the issues. For anyone experienced in strategy planning, the book comes across as a bit reductive and pedantic.

To be fair, the book does provide a workable structure that allows novice marketers to focus on the situational issues rather than scrambling just to identify the the required components of a plan. It also may serve as a journeyman-like reference for experienced marketers.

One more note: the book clearly predates the Internet and is very much oriented at the mass marketing of good, old-fashioned consumer products. Don't expect to shift your paradigm here!

DISCIPLINED AND COMPREHENSIVE TO THE MAX.......1999-09-05

If there is a more methodical and detailed approach to marketing planning, I haven't seen it in 20 years in the ad business. The workbook format and the authors' real world experience make this a practical and useful tool for developing a marketing communications plan. The benefit of this approach is that your plan has been viewed from every angle, built methodically and logically, tested against reality, and executed down to the most minute detail. These guys have definitely been around the block. This book is useful in the real world.
