        4 out of 5 stars Pleasant Guide.......2005-10-12

        I haven't traveled to Yorkshire since buying this guide, so I haven't had a chance to verify all the info for myself, but it is a pleasant, easy-to-read guide. I'm bothered by the number of typos in it, as well as that much of the information is very vague (mentioning sites without maps or directions for finding them), but I do feel it's helping me plan my itinerary. Word of warning: I bought this as well as Hidden Inns of Yorkshire, and the content is largely duplicative. I'd recommend one or the other - not both.

          Book Description

          This is the 5th edition of Hidden Places guides covering the largest county in England and is printed in full color. Yorkshire is truly a county packed with diversity. In the northwest are the picturesque Dales with its varied scenery of peat moorland, green pastureland and scattered woods intersected by the numerous streams and rivers. To the northeast are the imposing Yorkshire Moors, the rich agricultural Vale of York, the chalky hills of the Wolds and the dramatic storm-tossed coastline. To the south are the industrial and commercial cities and towns, which have made such a major contribution to Britain's industrial and cultural heritage.

          Previous editions have sold very well and were well received by readers - "I think your book is wonderful. I have bought two already for other people. I found it really useful when we went to Yorkshire. You seem to pick out the right places to include." - a reader from Lymm, Cheshire; "May I congratulate you on your series of books on the Hidden Places. Although I was under the impression that I knew Yorkshire pretty well, I have found many new and interesting snippets in the Yorkshire and Humberside edition." - a reader in Malton, and by the media - "A fascinating tourist guide" - Yorkshire Regional Newspapers. The book is written in an attractive narrative style and is packed with information and colored photographs covering the more secluded and little known venues for food, accommodation and places of interest as well as the more enduring attractions of the county. The cover features eye-catching photographs of the waterfall at Ingleton, a view of the Yorkshire Dales and the ruins of Kirkstall Abbey.?

            5 out of 5 stars AWESOME.......2007-09-25

            I LOVE this book. It's probably one of my fave books. I love how much drama there is, and how the entire book just comes togther at the end and answers all the questions you have/had. I espescially like all the details, and how you can imagine the characters, and how in eah book in the clique series, a little more information is revealed about each character. I love that. It's like putting together a puzzle of each character. Out of 5 stars, I would definetly give this book a five.

            4 out of 5 stars Richly Entertaining.......2007-08-05

            Okay, I'm not gunna lie, not really used to reading the whole rich girl livin' in a wonderful world thinking everyone wants to be like her. Me, I'm more into the African- American novels that talk about what's goin on down in the hood and high school drama that we gotta deal with. But.. this book has made me change my mind on that. I picked it up in a book store and this was actually the first book I read out of the whole Clique Series and I just had to buy the rest. So now I'm starting at the vert begining and am actually enjoying myself.

            This book, filled with so much drama (about boys, what else?!) sparked my intrest with the simple title and from the first page on, I was glued to that book.!!! ENJOY!!!!!♥

            5 out of 5 stars A wonderful book.......2007-04-18

            The book Invasion of the boy snatchers, by Lisi Harrison, is a wonderful book. It talks about friends who gossip a lot. Massie, Claire, Alicia, Dylan, and Kristen are all friends. They all love makeup and having fancy clothes. Massie even gets free Chapstick every month.
            One day Alicia's cousin, Nina, came from Spain. Alicia's friends looked at some pictures of Nina and saw that she wasn't very pretty. But when she arrived all the boys from their school were in love with her.
            After a little bit of time all five friends got sick of Nina having all the boys' eyes on her. So they started looking for something that would humiliate her. To see what happens at the end you will have to read the book and figure it out.
            My favorite part of the book is the end, but I can't say what happens at the end so you will have to read it to figure out. If you like books that talk about gossipy girls and boys you should read this book. It's a very good book.

            5 out of 5 stars Invasion of the boy snatchers review.......2007-04-05

            Massie finally thought that she had everything that she wanted, she had derrington, all of her best friends, and Claire was living in her guest house and they finally worked out thre problems. Claire was even living in Massie's room. But then.... Alicia's HOT causin Nina was comming to visit from spain! All of the Pretty Commity thought that she was going to steal there men. Will Nina steal all of the Brairwood boys from them? Or will Massie and her friends still rule the school and tell her to go back to spain?

            1 out of 5 stars "Invasion of the Fashion-Zombies" by bleh.......2007-04-04

            I completely agree with the reviewer "Scott McKay". We've reduced our youth to obessive, fashion freaks and teen losers. By today's standards, being a "fashion god", a "hottie" and a brat are cool. These books show how immature some of our writers are today.
            Have some sort of value and when your daughter comes home from the bookstore with a bagfull of "The CLique" books, light up your grill and make her watch you burn those books to ashes. And when she asks for the money back, just say "No".

            As Green Day would say, we've become "one nation controlled by the media".

                                  This volume presents a particular aspect of control theory-stabilization of programmed motion. Methods of the construction and synthesis of stabilizing controls are introduced together with original results and useful examples. The problem of optimal stabilization control synthesis is solved for linear systems of difference equations with quadratic quality criterion.

                                  In Billy Budd, The Bell-Tower, and Bartleby the Scrivener, Herman Melville explores in miniature the themes of isolation and defeat found in his great novels. Among his best works, they respectively deal with the irony of tragedy, arrogance, and failing communication.

                                  The title, Herman Melville's Billy Budd, Benito Careno, Bartleby the Scrivener, and Other Tales, part of Chelsea House Publishers' Modern Critical Interpretations series, presents the most important 20th-century criticism on Herman Melville's Billy Budd, Benito Careno, Bartleby the Scrivener, and Other Tales through extracts of critical essays by well-known literary critics. This collection of criticism also features a short biography on Herman Melville, a chronology of the author's life, and an introductory essay written by Harold Bloom, Sterling Professor of the Humanities, Yale University.

                                  Melville's darkly curious novella about a mysterious new hire
                                  who refuses to leave his place of employment--even when dismissed--is subtly compelling; the conflict is revealed
                                  gradually in small, psychological increments. This story, which could just as well have been set in Victorian London, is related by an elderly narrator--a lawyer with two regular scriveners (legal copyists) and an office boy. But the addition of the inscrutable, pallid Bartleby creates a sensation in the small office. He quietly but simply refuses to do anything but copy documents, eventually disintegrating to not even that. Yet he will not leave; he "prefers not" to do anything but waste time and waste away. How can his decent, compassionate employer remove the unwanted fellow, without resorting to crass police intervention?

                                  Melville's unchaptered tale is characterized by with long paragraphs and a rich tapestry of vocabulary. Less a mystery than one at first expects, the simple plot unfolds eventually to comment on the role of humanity. How easy it would be to assuage our collective conscience by institutionalizing the misfits. This may be the first literary example of Passive Resistance. With no clear cut villain in this seemingly actionless tale, readers are left in moral disquiet, yet this short work provides a glimpse into Melville's dark genius.

                                  5 out of 5 stars Classic.......2003-08-04

                                  Herman Melville's "Bartleby" is undoubtedly one of the finest short stories known in the canon of Western literature. It is the story of a stubborn, yet ultimately passive scrivner (copyist) that despite his individuality has alienated himself from society. Melville contemplates whether a true individual can really function or even survive in society.

                                  This story, while delightful and original, can get bogged down in the rigid, almost archaic English. Some readers will be ultimately find this too cumbersome and but the book down. However, many readers will grow accustomed to the language and, it is charming. If you haven't read Melville or think that he might be too stuffy, or too distant, think again. His humor and his originality are to be appreciated and maybe even admired in this hum-drum age of tired sitcoms.

                                      This Audiofy audiobook chip packs a full 2.5 hour reading of "Bartleby and Other Stories," narrated by Robert Williams, on a tiny memory card. A single Audiofy audiobook chip, hardly larger than a stamp, holds a complete digital audiobook, and saves the last listening position automatically, unlike CDs. With an SD memory card slot or low-cost adapter - like those for digital cameras - this Audiofy audiobook chip can be played on Microsoft Windows and Apple Macintosh desktop computers or laptops (Microsoft Windows XP/2000/Me/98, or Apple Mac OS X 10.3.9 and above) or transferred to Apple iPod media players. Audiobook chips also move seamlessly to most Palm OS and Pocket PC handheld PDAs with SD expansion slots, as well as Treo and Windows Mobile "smartphones" (Palm OS 5.2 or Windows Mobile 2002 and above)... Melville's "Bartleby the Scrivener" is a classic American short story, a strange tale of a constantly busy copyist whose simple refrain, "I would prefer not to," wreaks havoc on his workplace. Invention, imagination, and expression combine with two others.
