10 More Actua, Official LSAT PrepTests.......2007-10-14

I was disappointed with this book. I thought the book would include more recent LSATs. I was especially hoping to get practice with the new comparative reading; this was not in any of the tests which were included in the book. However there was a section in the introduction that discussed the new comparative reading.

Misrepresentation of the term 10 MORE..........2007-09-18

This book makes it seem as though we will be getting 10 RECENT LSAT preptests, including the NEW Lsat preptests. Instead, I received this book, published in August 2007, mind you, that has preptests from June 1996- June 1999!

So, can someone explain to me why exactly this is titled 10 MORE, when I've just received 10 Previous!?

Essential!.......2007-07-14

Preparing for the LSAT? You definitely must get one of these books from the Law School Admission Council. I would recommend getting at least the most recent collection of 10 (bang for buck) and perhaps purchasing an individual recent test or two from their website.

great lsat prep book.......2007-01-09

best preparation is just taking test after test
the books that try to explain different strategies are, i think, confusing

Practice Makes Perfect.......2007-01-04

This book is exactly what it says it is, 10 official LSATs. As of 01/03/2007 it is the newest compilation of LSATs (you can purchase newer ones individual but for the steep cost of $8 a test). Good for practice test and timing yourself. Only drawback is that the distribution for some of the earlier tests isn't current/accurate, so when you get to the later tests you have to miss less questions to get the same score. But I'd definitely recommend this book as a supplement to the introductory LSAT books, so after you know what to expect, practice with this book

Book Description

Not all workers' needs were served by the union. Focusing on the steel works at Duquesne, Pennsylvania, a linchpin of the old Carnegie Steel Company empire and then of U.S. Steel, James D. Rose demonstrates the pivotal role played by a nonunion form of employee representation usually dismissed as a flimsy front for management interests.

The early New Deal set in motion two versions of workplace representation that battled for supremacy: company-sponsored employee representation plans (ERPs) and independent trade unionism. At Duquesne, the cause of the unskilled, hourly workers, mostly eastern and southern Europeans as well as blacks, was taken up by the union--the Fort Dukane Lodge of the Amalgamated Association of Iron, Steel, and Tin Workers. For skilled tonnage workers and skilled tradesmen, mainly U.S.-born and of northern and western European extraction, ERPs offered a better solution.

Initially little more than a crude antiunion device, ERPs matured from tools of the company into semi-independent, worker-led organizations. Isolated from the union movement through the mid-1930s, ERP representatives and management nonetheless created a sophisticated bargaining structure that represented the shop-floor interests of the mill's skilled workforce. Meanwhile, the Amalgamated gave way to the Steel Workers Organizing Committee, a professionalized and tightly organized affiliate of John L. Lewis's CIO, that expended huge resources trying to gain companywide unionization. Even when the SWOC secured a collective bargaining agreement with U.S. Steel in 1937, however, the union was still unable to sign up a majority of the workforce at Duquesne.

A sophisticated study of the forces that shaped and responded to workers' interests, Duquesne and the Rise of Steel Unionism confirms that what people did on the shop floor was as critical to the course of steel unionism as were corporate decision making and shifts in government policy.

Customer Reviews:

A great book.......2002-04-09

Rose has written an important book that should be read by all people interested in work and justice. By carefully examining shop floor activism at the mill and life in the Duquesne community, Rose reveals the challenges of forming a union in a key industry beset by a working class divided by skill, ethnicity, and race. Based on the most impressive archival research I have ever encountered, this books stands as a signal achievement in the profession. It is an important story well told! Buy this book!

Book Description

Tourism is the world's largest industry and its fastest growing one. It has the potential to contribute significantly to the economic development of most economies, including those of less developed countries and peripheral economic regions. However, it depends heavily on environmental conditions, natural and man-made, for its market and its sustainability.

This book analyzes market and political failures in relation to tourism development and the environment, and the implications of those for national gains from international tourism, for public finance and policy, and for the sustainability of tourism. Particular emphasis is placed on ecotourism and the sustainable use of natural sites, methods of evaluating the sustainability of tourism and the impacts of pollution on tourism. Case studies cover both large and small developing countries e.g. Bangladesh, Brazil, China, India and the Maldives, as well as more developed economies. While some attention is given to the evaluation of protected areas, most attention is given to policies in terms of the sustainable recreational use of such areas - examples include scuba diving and encounters of tourists with whale sharks and sea turtles.

This is a fascinating book that will be of great use to a wide readership including economists, environmentalists, geographers, tourism scholars and professionals, as well as academics in development studies.

Book Description

Laurie recounts the stories of Hardscrabble, her arrival as a young bride, her involvement in town life and the town's unique place in the world and their love of the outdoors and nature. The tone is down home friendly, conversational and intimate.

This is a book of dog stories and so much more. Laurie takes you into her world much the same way James Herriot took readers to his beloved Yorkshire.

Hardscrabble is small town New England at it's best. The Hardscrabble Chronicles is an old fashioned book in the best sense--it's warm, funny and nostalgic.

Laurie picks up the tales of Hardscrabble where the renowned outdoor writer, Corey Ford left off. For thirty years, from 1923 until 1953, legendary Field & Stream columnist Corey Ford owned the Lower Forty in a small New England town that he dubbed "Hardscrabble" to shield its identity. He regaled millions of readers with colorful stories of its eccentric and eclectic townsfolk. Now, with The Hardscrabble Chronicles, Laurie Bogart Morrow continues this rich tradition-and interweaves portraits of one of Hardscrabble's most valuable resources: its dogs.

My favorite book.......2004-08-31

I had the pleasure of reading an advance copy of the book, and I was amazed at how eloquently my aunt had portrayed her life in the hinterlands. This is definetly a book for all types of people. As a interesting fact, Humphrey Bogart is my aunt's father's (my grandfather's) first cousin.
This was a wonderful book.

HARDSCRABBLE MEETS PEYTON PLACE.......2003-07-16

Picture in your mind a tweedy, gracefully aging celebrity sportsman fly fishing and bird hunting the world over with equally aging male celebrities. At least that was the public image. Curt Gowdy? Maybe if you only watched TV. If you were a reader in the `fifties and `sixties, you would likely think of Corey Ford, Field and Stream's most popular columnist for almost 20 years during the middle of the last century. Ford was an icon and inspiration to millions of split-level outdoorsman for whom he created a literary world where they could retreat with him even from the comfort of their armchairs and recliners, and hunt the field and fish the stream together, or swap lies about their angling and shooting exploits, real, imagined, or hoped for around the pot bellied stove in the general store of "Hardscrabble, " a fictional rural New England village based on people and places in the small towns of Ossipee, Effingham, and Freedom, New Hampshire.

This is what Laurie Bogart Morrow (a relative of Humphrey Bogart she claims) has sought to recreate and pay homage to, albeit in a more unisex way, in The Hardscrabble Chronicles. For most of the book she does an admirable job of it.

Ms. Morrow moved to Freedom, Ford's adopted home town, with her husband early in their married life, and quickly adapted to country New England living, much to the horror of her urban New York parents (yes Humphrey was from NYC). She learned how to fix up her drafty old farmhouse, cook on a woodstove, raise bird dogs, and she became an avid sportsperson and hunter herself. After she started her own family, the editor of an area newspaper persuaded her to take over a gossip column, once written by Mr. Ford, while the regular columnist was recovering from an illness. During her temporary tenure, she then began to learn more about Freedom's most famous citizen, and the more she learned the more she wanted to learn, developing such an interest in the man that she eventually obtained an authorization to write a Ford biography from Dartmouth University, which controls his literary estate and papers.

Most of The Hardscrabble Chronicles; however, is really a biography of Ms. Morrow's own experiences in Freedom, re-fictionalized again as Hardscrabble, but written in the same funny, character-driven anecdotal form as Mr. Ford's "Lower Forty" series that appeared in Field and Stream. Only the last chapter, styled an "afterward," is a biographical essay about Corey Ford (the pen name of James Hitchcock Ford, born 1902, died 1969).

In it we learn that the rumpled, curmudgeony, pipe smoking sportsman the world came to know in his fifties and sixties was, in his twenties, a member of fashionable New York literary society's Algonquin Roundtable, trading party barbs with legendary uptown wits and poseurs alike (apparently he was also a drinking buddy of Humphrey Bogart). In his thirties he was a Hollywood screenwriter whose main staple was romantic comedy and musicals. It was in his forties that he turned his back on the world of glitter and city lights where he was only really a minor player, and essentially "re-invented himself" as the bucolic personae who would finally achieve fame as a writer, becoming a sort of backwoods James Thurber for the hunting and fishing crowd. He was literate enough in his style to be taken seriously as a major American humorist, but folksy enough in his presentation to become loved by millions of people who never read anything more "highbrow" than the daily sports page, and his columns in Field and Stream.

Ms. Morrow presents in the afterward an edited, unpublished rough draft of Ford's most famous and evocative short story, "The Road to Tinkhamtown" that she found in the Dartmouth library, and then "put together." The published version is considered by many to be one of the best hunting fiction pieces ever written. Even if you are not a hunter, and I'm not one, you can appreciate the published story as a piece of well written, popular literature. This story served as my introduction to Corey Ford's writing. I first read it when I was about thirteen years old as a reprint in a Reader's Digest issue. Even at that age, as a city kid who had never hunted a day in his life, and judging it by the standards of my usual fare of horror and science fiction, I considered it one of my favorites, a masterwork, transcending genre. It is a timeless and otherworldly classic, melancholy without being maudlin, about a dying man and his long dead favorite bird dog going out together once more on the "last hunt." Less skillful pens than Ford's probably would have turned out a forgettable, sentimental mess using such subject matter.

The more wordy and less polished version presented in The Hardscrabble Chronicles' still contains the original story, but Ms. Morrow uses it along with inferences (but no real specifics) from one of Ford's diaries she uncovered in "carton 23" of the Ford papers at Dartmouth, along with details about Ford's own death experience, all in what seems almost like faint praise to probe into certain aspects of Ford's personal life, never to my knowledge revealed publicly before. Detailing her discomfort with her discoveries in Ford's papers, and how she managed to come to terms with them takes up much of the short biography chapter and makes it read at times like a bizarre, somewhat reluctant expose that's more suggestive of "Peyton Place" (in real life, Gilmanton, just "down the road apiece" from Freedom) than "Hardscrabble." After what seems (and I believe is genuinely) a loving and excellent paean to the literary legacy of this man, the dramatic shift in tone at the end of an otherwise inspired collection of Ford pastiches makes the book fascinating, if oddly uneven.

After reading this book, if you are the curious sort like me, you may be tempted to visit the Corey Ford Papers at Dartmouth, and look in "carton 23" yourself, if such still exists, to see what's really there. I think I may do some hunting and fishing right there if I get up that way anytime.

Long Gone Hardscrabble.......2003-02-13

As a faithful reader of Corey Ford's Lower Forty stories in Field and Stream in the late 50's, I wanted to like this book a lot. The problem is that the Hardscrabble of the 1950's doesn't transport well to today. Those lovable characters that I knew in an Upstate New York town much like Hardscrabble, are long gone. The hardware store has been replaced with a Gap and the general store that was filled with old curmudgeons is now a Starbucks populated with twenty-something latte drinkers. Ms. Morrow does an admirable job trying to resurrect the old place, but the lingering feeling that many readers will have is that old Hardscrabble is a faded photograph that is best left to the past and not "colorized" for the 21st Century. If you want the real Hardscrabble, read Corey Ford. Ms. Morrow is a good writer; she should apply her considerable talent to the word beyond Hardscrabble.

Good, quiet reading.......2002-12-06

If you're looking for alot of urban excitement in your reading, this is not the book for you. If you're looking for depth and serenity for a good read in front of a fire on a winter's night, this IS the book for you. I found this in the library and decided to try it, in front of the fire on a winter's night of course, and actually enjoyed it more than I expected to. This will go in my list of good books read and I will seek out other titles by this author. This is a good, quiet read - enjoy!

The Hardscrabble Chronicles - Incredible!.......2002-06-04

One of the funniest and most poignant renditions of country life I have every read. Morrow had me laughing and crying and I couldn't put the book down. This reminds me in style of A Year in Provence -but I think there was more meat to the writing in Hardscrabble. I can't wait for the next book - this is a great writer!

Book Description

Held over three days in August 1969, the Woodstock festival was, for many, the culmination of the counterculture movement. More than 35 years later, the word Woodstock conjures notions of Edenic peace and love, a landmark moment from the Sixties that is both unforgettable and inimitable. In this authoritative reference guide--the first of its kind--historian James E. Perone presents encyclopedic entries on all the performers who played Woodstock, including Joan Baez, Country Joe and the Fist, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, Jimi Hendrix, Jefferson Airplane, Janis Joplin, Ten Years After, The Who--even Sha Na Na--as well as the organizers and decision makers behind the event, from Michael Langer, governor Nelson Rockefeller, documentary film director Michael Wadleigh, and even the Concerned Citizens Committee who prevented Woodstock Ventures from holding the fair at the original site in Walkill, New York. Historical chapters trace the history of the festival from its inception and planning to its aftermath--including the infamous Altamont concert in December 1969 and the ill-fated 30th anniversary concert held in Rome, New York, in 1999. A wealth of historic photos plus an appendix of recordings and a subject index round out this wonderful reference for any scholar of 20th-century American music, history, and culture.

A good book for research papers.......2005-06-05

I have been a collector of books and info on Woodstock for many years. This encyclopedia is best suited for those who are learning about Woodstock for the first time, or who want an introduction to what can be further understood on the internet or through some other stellar books that can be found used. It is written in a research paper style and prose, with 40 pages of Bibliography and Index and is all formally annotated. The only ones who should spend the considerable cash on this book should be either libraries or wealthy research paper-assigned students. Books on Woodstock do not tend to go beyond 1 softcover printing, so in 2005, this may be the only book currently in print on the subject. Woodstock69.com has links to fantastic sources of info within and outside it's site for those who want a really passionate and robust information from those who were there producing it and attending it (yes, really). The author mostly refers to info from established press sources like Rolling Stone, etc. I keep going back to Joel Makower's book 'Woodstock: the oral history' as the best book on the subject, that can still be found used.

The encyclopedia includes short essays on other well-known festivals that led up to Woodstock and followed it for a few years. The essays basically expain some basic info on them and then differentiate them from Woodstock.
The next set of essays differentiate the 3 official Woodstocks and Day In the Garden events. There is some good detail given to newbies, but offers thin insights for the bulk of reference it is culled from. The next set of essays attempt to describe Woodstock '69 in detail, but does a shameful job of detail when compared with other accounts. A full festival setlist is given, but it is based on outdated lists from thewoodstockproject.com. Next we have an A-Z list of Woodstock subjects that are mostly less than a paragraph and certainly incomplete.
I was expecting a book that would have hopefully compiled all the great knowledge on the festival into 1 tome with a fantastic collection of pictures-a virtual 1-stop Woodstock info shopping experience. Instead, we get very few photos, all of which are small, in B&W, most of which are poorly printed and not much that isn't found in other sources. After reading through this work, I was left with very little new information that I had probably just forgotten. Some of Woodstock's most interesting stuff of legend is left out altogether.
The rest of the encyclopedia is all Biblio & Index.

You make the call.

Book Description

This new Second Edition addresses the latest in picture archiving and communications systems (PACS), from the electronic patient record to the full range of topics in digital imaging. In contrast to the previous edition, this updated text uses the framework of image informatics, not physics or engineering principles, to explain PACS. This book is the only resource that thoroughly covers the critical issues of hardware/software design and implementation in a systematic and easily comprehensible manner.
The new edition features additional chapters on web-based PACS, security, integrating the healthcare enterprise, clinical management systems, and the electronic patient record.
It addresses how PACS can improve workflow, therapy, and treatment, and discusses integration of PACS in hospitals. Offering a clear guide for those purchasing and installing PACS, it is written in clear, non-technical language by a widely acknowledged pioneer in the field and does not assume advanced knowledge of physics, engineering, or math principles. The text also contains substantive new treatment of key topics in image informatics, including light imaging, digital radiography, teleconsultation, and image archive servers.

Quality Issue ?.......2007-05-15

The context of the book definately meets my expectations.The book provides a complete overview of PACs I am a bit concerned as to to quality of the book. The binding has already started to become loose in one section. the book has not been abused in any way. Carried in a briefcase and read at home. May be just this copy.
