BIG R, little r,
what begins with R?
Rosy's red rhinoceros.
R...r...R

From Aunt Annie's Alligator to Rosy's red rhinoceros to a Zizzer-Zazzer-Zuzz, learning the alphabet is bound to be fun with Dr. Seuss. And with this small, sturdy board-book version of his classic ABC book (Dr. Seuss's ABC), even the tiniest tots can indulge in a little alphabetical education. Each letter is featured with Dr. Seuss's unmistakably nonsensical illustrations and text: "Lion with a lollipop," "Camel on the ceiling," "Uncle Ubb's umbrella and his underwear, too." The youngest readers-to-be will get lots of letter practice with the repetitive use of each letter and the easy-to-memorize rhythmic rhymes. Soon your favorite preschooler will be reading this book aloud to you! (Baby to preschool) --Emilie Coulter

Book Description

This book is an innovative collection of essays by a new generation of British and American historians and political theorists. The volume explores how critical traditions and beliefs have helped to shape capitalism. Chapters follow diverse critiques in Britain and America and explore their Atlantic and imperial exchanges. The volume includes chapters on questions of law and property in the Victorian empire; traditions of land reform in 19th century America and Britain; the influence of American romanticism on British socialism; the role of Britain in American progressivism; American and British consumer protection; the evolution of trusteeship and ideas of cosmopolitan democracy; the 'third way' and narratives of globalization.

Book Description

This book sets forth both a theory and a comparative empirical analysis of stagflation, that peculiar combination of high unemployment, slow growth, and spurts of high inflation bedeviling the advanced industrial nations during the past fifteen years. The authors first construct a small macroeconomic model that takes full account of aggregate demand and supply forces in the determination of output, employment, and the price level, in both a single-economy and a multi-economy setting. They then apply the model to provide an understanding of comparative performance of industrial countries in the areas of unemployment, inflation, productivity, and investment growth. They argue convincingly that the decay of the major economies during this period resulted from the supply shocks of the 1970s, such as the two major OPEC oil-price increases, and from the consequent policy-induced decrease in demand in response to inflationary pressures. Their analysis differs markedly from similar studies in that it takes specific account of institutional differences in the labor markets of the various economies. This helps to explain in particular the divergent adjustment profiles of the United States and Europe. Bruno and Sachs make several key recommendations for the mix of demand management and incomes policies necessary to combat stagflation in individual countries as well as for the coordination of macroeconomic policies among the major industrial nations.

Very funny. While in the hospital recovering from two surgical procedures I was given this book. Although some of the entries have been on the Internet it was a very good read.

Book Description

Of the three elements of music -- rhythm, melody, and harmony -- rhythm has received the least attention from the theorists, yet it is indisputably the basic element without which there is no musical art. Such is the first sentence of this book on use of the body to express musical rhythm. Elsa Findlay is eminently qualified to write on this subject, having been a student of Emile-Jaques Dalcroze, the master himself, also from her own experience in a variety of teaching situations. These included schools of dance and theater, colleges and universities, and The Cleveland Institute of Music, one of the first to offer a BMus with a major in eurhythmics. Each chapter concentrates on a different phase of rhythm: tempo, dynamics, duration, metrical patterns, speech and rhythm patterns, phrase and form, pitch and melody, and creative expression. Activities for each phase are outlined in detail and illustrated by charming drawings and photos. Appendices furnish further suggestions for exerc

Customer Reviews:

Quite enjoyable.......2006-03-22

I received her book as a surprise gift and found it quick, easy to read. The girl is perky both on screen and in her book. While some may have blasted her for not writing more about the people -- remember, you can't write about people and get paid for it if they do not OKAY it. That could explain it. But again -- this is her diary of a year on Trading Spaces. And it read as such. I found it interesting how close they actually tape the episodes.

I miss Paige on the show. While I like the new TS format (making the designers stick around to actually HEAR what the home owner thinks), I still miss Perky Paige. She didn't know how to do everything but she was willing to try just about anything.

Paige, I hope you are doing well. You are missed.

Rather Disappointing.......2005-02-13

I asked for this book for Christmas because of its ratings here on Amazon. Had I actually been able to skim through it, I would have realized that there is very little about the true stars of the show - the homeowners.

Paige had a great idea when she decided to start this diary, which really does appear to have been written bit by bit, every day. (For all I know, she has kept it her whole life, and someone just suggested she turn this year of it into a book.) I like her writing style, and the design of the book is cute, too.

But somehow, when I started reading about Day 1 or Day 2 of an episode, with the homeowners listed by first names, from this layout I expected that she would at least then tell us (or remind us) of whether the homeowners liked their finished product or not. Some closure. And that she would tell us about many episodes, from start to finish.

Instead, she gives only snippets from any number of episodes, leaving off entirely at various points, so disjointedly that you get the idea that the homeowners, and even the process of redoing their rooms, really don't count much to the Trading Spaces staff.

Apparently, Paige and the designers and the rest of the staff don't realize that it is not the "Open" (the brief sketche with Paige and the designers that begins the show) I care about. She rattles on about those effusively and endlessly. I watch (or used to watch) the show for the homeowners, and to see their rooms designed and to get inexpensive design hints myself. My favorite part was seeing the homeowners elated with their rooms. I think we, the audience, identify with the homeowners, and watch because of them. But Paige and the others seem to think it's really all about them.

I liked her writing, and I liked many of the stories she told - it's just that the homeowners come off way too much as practically meaningless props in this book. I would have preferred if the stories of where the designers went to dinner, what they ate, what little this and that thing they did for each other, etc., had been the extras in the book. And that the show itself - the rooms and homeowners - had been the main course. Instead, it's the other way around. I mean, who cares about all her endless travel arrangements?

Other oddities, as well: She gives this big build-up for several pages about the show being nominated for the Emmys, and the book even includes what appears to be an official page from the Emmy people, listing and describing the shows that were up for their category. Then she says something like, "Well, we didn't go home with the Emmy last night." Ok, so who did? SHE DOESN'T TELL US! Apparently, since they didn't win, nothing else is important. I looked again, thinking I had just missed it, but I still couldn't find it, unless I'm still missing it somewhere. Talk about self-centered! That, in a nutshell, is kind of what the whole book is like.

Bottom line: The book is Paige's diary of Paige's days in Paige's career. The "Trading Spaces" aspect of it, especially the homeowners, gets short shrift. As for the show itself, I don't watch it much anymore because it long since became too sadistic to be pleasurable viewing. Instead, I recommend "Clean Sweep" if you want to see homeowners truly thrilled by wonderful, attractive, functional designs in their rooms done by people who actually seem to care about them. ("How Clean Is Your House" is good, too.)

Can Paige really, truly believe that there has never been a room done on Trading Spaces that isn't liked by someone, and that the problem is generally just cranky homeowners who "aren't open to change?" If so, I'd like to point out the moss-covered walls episode, the hay-glued-on-the-walls episode, the all (and I do mean all) white room and all black room episode, the prison room complete with toliets incorporated as furniture episode, the circus tent episode - I could go on and on and on. And this is not to mention some of the ways they make the homeowners labor unnecessarily, such as stapling hundreds of narrow black ribbons to a wall instead of just painting it that color; or hot-gluing thousands of tiny pieces of something to walls or floors or fireplaces instead of just painting or recovering them, or ripping out ceiling fans for no other purpose than to rip out ceiling fans.

As well-meaning and cute as Paige may be, I was as put off by her rather constant and casual dismissal of the homeowners in her book as vaguely unimportant and actually something of a bother as I am by their similar treatment on the show itself.

Annoying Fluff Piece.......2005-01-08

I picked this up hoping to get some background on Paige, lots of photos of her and a good read. This book is just a superficial puff piece for Trading Spaces with little or nothing going for it. Not enough pictures, annoyingly shallow text and no depth at all. I think it took me about an hour to read it all - I would have stopped at page 2, but I thought it would get better. It didn't . If you really need to have this , but it used for under a dollar and you may be happy with it. Blech.

Not much Trading Spaces info, but good for Paige fans.......2004-10-30

I really enjoyed this and wish it had been longer. It's done in diary/journal format. There isn't as much behind-the-scenes info, and sometimes there isn't much about the episodes at all. However, the book gives a lot of insight into Paige, both from what she writes and the way she writes. There are a few people who have written reviews complaining about how it's all about Paige or it's egotistical, etc., and my response is "duh." It's written as a diary, and most people who keep diaries are writing mainly about themselves; that's the point. If you want to learn more about Trading Spaces, then this book isn't very helpful, but it does give some info, and if you're a fan of Paige, I'd say go for it. I only wish she'd written more.

Great Read.......2004-01-19

I love the show and have always thought Paige was great as the host and so I just had to read this book. I am so glad I did too. Paige takes the reader behind the scenes and shares stories and disasters from the set of the show. She shares her experiences and fills the book with interesting and heartfelt writing, which is sometimes even comical. This is a great book for everybody, even if you don't watch the show.

Good but Bloated.......2003-10-11

This book contains just about all of the information that you need to become very proficient with Microsoft Project; however, as with most technically-oriented books, it is terribly bloated. This 750-page monster could easily be trimmed down to about 300 pages. Being a busy project manager, I would have really welcomed a less prolix text. The sections on Project Server are very welcomed, but I really don't think it is necessary to take several pages explaining what the Internet, a browser, and a hyperlink are.

Overall, it's a good source, but you will not be reading each page to get to where you need to be.

A SALIENT COMPENDIUM FOR ALL 'PROJECT 2002' USERS.......2003-02-22

With its consolidated pattern, this "Microsoft Project 2002 Bible" harnessed all the vital information, which users of the software would need. It is a well-structured text, which delivers its message with comprehensible authority.
Like the software that it described, this book adopted the most recent principles of project development. It provided elaborate details on how to implement plans: using tracking and analytic procedures. There are several suggestions and options on how to adjust to changes and other uncertainties, while finalizing both plans and reports. Additional tips on how to maximize the benefits of SQL-based Project 2002 Server, as well as how to collaborate tasks with both private and official colleagues were included. There is no significant element of the software that eluded this book. Its attached CD-ROM provides extra flexibility.
This is a valuable and a remarkable textbook. It remains a salient compendium for all users of "Project 2002" software: whether an expert or a beginner.
