Worth the weight.......2002-03-25
I am a professional botanist so my standards are high. I checked Huxley and Taylor's book out of the University library and carried it in my backpack for a month. The only thing is you really need a backpack with an easily accessible pocket if you aren't going to just keep this book in your hands.

From an outdoor enthusiast..........2003-03-14
Want to get outdoors and be active in the Boston area? Start by buying this book. Lee Sinai describes, in wonderful detail, many of the rides and hikes one can take within a thirty-five-mile radius of Boston. The author has organized the forty trips around geographical areas, north, south or west of Boston, so selecting one is easy. Maps of each destination are included. Each trip description includes what's important to an outdoor enthusiast.... availability of restrooms, closest access to food, degree of difficulty, directions for getting there, and a historical background of the area.
Using this book, I discovered Dogtown, a mountain biking haven in Gloucester. I also experienced Cameron's, home to the best lobster roll in Massachusetts. The author led me to Great Brook Farm in Carlisle for cycling and then to Kimball's for a memorable ice cream treat.
As a guidebook, I give Exploring In and Around Boston on Bike and Foot the highest rating.
Exploring in and around Boston on bike and foot.......2003-02-27
Lee Sinai has taken a group of varied and unusual hikes and trails around Boston and compiled them into an informative and accessible guide. We refer to her book often when looking for interesting, new places to explore, and have found it invaluable in "rediscovering" Boston.
A great way to begin your Boston area adventures!.......2000-06-14
Right from the get go I found this hiking and biking guide to be a miracle of organization and indispensable information. This book not only groups locations by geographical location, but also with respect to hiking, road biking and mountain biking. I found the handy reference guide towards the beginning of the book extremely useful while including not only difficulty ratings, but also mileage for each trip, something not always available in one specific location in a guide book. The maps accompanying each site are extremely easy to follow and the descriptions really do fit the terrain perfectly, whether or not you chose to take the book along on your journeys. I found the directions to each location to be extremely useful and especially appreciated the public transportation options that help those city dwellers who lack automobiles. Other handy features include locations and descriptions of local restaurants, attractions and even restrooms. This book included an very helpful mix of locations both in the greater Boston area, as well as highlighting several gems in the neighboring suburbs. I especially appreciated the handy reference map showing the location of all the spots, as well as the ever present tips to find geater enjoyment in your outdoor adventures!

how electricity works.......2001-12-31
I teach 4th grade and found this book very good at explaining what electricity is and how it is generated. There are not experiments crowding each page, just clear electron models that clearly explain electricity theory.

Book Description
Multilevel modelling facilitates the analysis of hierarchical data where observations may be nested within higher levels of classification. In health care research, for example, a study may be undertaken to determine the variability of patient outcomes where these also vary by hospital or health care region. Inference can then be made on the efficacy of health care practices. This book provides the reader with the analytical techniques required to study such data sets.
* First book to focus on multilevel modelling for health and medical research
* Covers the majority of analytical techniques required by health care professionals
* Unifies the literature on multilevel modelling for medical and health researchers
* Each contribution comes from a specialist in that area
Guiding the reader through various stages, from a basic introduction through to methodological extensions and generalised linear models, this test will show how various kinds of data can be analysed in a multilevel framework. Important statistical concepts, such as sampling and outliers, are covered specifically for multilevel data. Repeated measures, outliers, institutional performance, and spatial analysis, which have great relevance to health and medical research, are all examined for multilevel models.
The book is aimed at health care professionals and public health researchers interested in the application of statistics, and will also be of interest to postgraduate students studying medical statistics.

A really useful resource.......2004-01-24
I would highly recommend this book. It is clear, concise and helpful. One of the beat featurs is the "Additional Resources" section, which is full of references, links, etc. to other, equally helpful sources of information. The authors are up-to-date with all the new develpments, including APPI, which has only been introduced very recently.
If you only buy one LC/MS resource buy this one!
Good comprehensive look at instrumentation.......2000-01-29
Good book for a quick look at LC/MS or LC/MS/MS. If you are searching for application notes you may find better resources elsewhere.
Book Description
In addition to having to master a vast number of difficult concepts and lab procedures, high school chemistry students must also learn, with little or no coaching from their teachers, how to solve tough word problems. Picking up where standard chemistry texts leave off, How to Solve Word Problems in Chemistry takes the fear and frustration out of chemistry word problems by providing students with easy-to-follow procedures for solving problems in everything from radioactive half-life to oxidation-reduction reactions.

Word problems made easy.......2003-12-12
I decided to buy this book while I was enrolled in a general chemistry course, in order to get more practice at solving word problems and to gain better insight at how to do so. This book presents any type of word problem that you are likely to face in a general chemistry class ( stoichiometry,concentrations,gas laws,thermochemistry,electrochemistry,equilibrium,colligative properties, and thermodynamics), and describes how to solve it along with explanations of the concepts involved.
Each section starts with a short description of the theory behind the problems to follow so you gain an understanding of the chemistry behind the problem. Afterward, serveral word problems of that type are fully worked out so a full understanding can be gained. Each chapter concluded with numerous supplementary problems followed by the answers. Highly recommended.
Solid clarification, even for the VERY LOST........2003-09-29
For all those who thought they had substantial mathematical skills and overall capacity for learning chemistry (and realized they were sorely mistaken by the third lecture), THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU. I am a reasonably intelligent person and a really good student, but my ego shrank to infinitesmal proportions when I tried chem in preparation for medical training.
Goldberg's written word sounds like you're sitting in a lecture, only clearer. Don't give up, just get the right way to learn it. Goldberg's writing is a good start.

Book Description
In the rapidly developing area of nonlinear theory of differential equations, many important results have been obtained by the use of nonlinear functional analysis based on topological and variational methods. The survey papers presented in this volume represent the current state of the art in the subject. The methods outlined in this book can be used to obtain new results concerning the existence, uniqueness, multiplicity, and bifurcation of the solutions of nonlinear boundary value problems for ordinary and partial differential equations. The contributions to this volume are from well known mathematicians, and every paper contained in this book can serve both as a source of reference for researchers working in differential equations and as a starting point for those wishing to pursue research in this direction. With research reports in the field typically scattered in many papers within various journals, this book provides the reader with recent results in an accessible form.
Book Description
75 Readings Plus is a version of the best-selling 75 Readings that supplies additional guidance for student readers. Both books are rhetorically arranged and collect the most popular essays for first-year writing. The readings represent a wide variety of authors, disciplines, issues, and interests, and at ten dollars less than most composition readers, 75 Readings Plus is an excellent value for students.
