Most Excellent.......2005-09-07

I really enjoyed buying from this seller. I had no trouble with my order and would definitely continue my business with this seller

Clear and Concise.......2003-06-30

This was a very good study guide. I took this course via Independent Study, so it was nice to have a study guide that I could depend on. The book features a summary outline of the key concepts for each chapter along with 10 to 15 true/false questions, 10 to 20 fill-in-the-blanks, 10 to 15 multiple choice questions, and 2 to 4 excercises/problems. The fill-in-the-blanks are somewhat cheesy, but all the other types of questions make you think. There are answer keys for each chapter that even explain why the answer is what it is. The exercises/problems are good because they were usually a different scenario than what was used as an example in the textbook, so you got even more learning out of them before attempting homework problems in the text book. All in all, I recommend this study guide if you are looking for extra help with the answers available or if you are taking this course via independent study.

Book Description

“Dour Scot” is the wrong description for David Caldow, who leads readers on a romp from the early twentieth century to the present, from an insular Scottish village to modern-day, multicultural British Columbia, from boyhood to old age. Throughout the tour he shares decades of laughter, tears, fears, and growth.

In 1910, the certain path of David's life in Scotland is disrupted by the visit of an awe-inspiring comet. This brilliant visitor inspires the boy to dream of circling the world, like the comet, even though his life's goal is to become a farm manager, like his father. As a young man seeking to fulfill his dreams, he travels to Canada and works his way from Quebec to British Columbia, guided by the lessons of his father and his memories of Scotland.

During his travels he grows in his understanding of himself, of the nature of love, of the ways of the world and its peoples, and of the poetry of Robert Burns. As a worker for the Farmer's Institute and as farm manager for Colony Farm and Tranquille, two extensive BC government-owned farms, David contributes to raising the standards of Canadian agriculture. At seventy years old, he broadens the scope of his world even further, accepting a two-year Canadian federal-government position teaching farming in Tanzania.

Chasing the Comet is a true story that reads like fiction. David's candour and his Scottish humour help him survive and thrive. In the book's epilogue, David ponders the meaning of all his years of living, addressing questions such as: What is love? What is success? And how does one achieve them?

David Caldow lived an active life in Surrey, British Columbia until his death at the age of ninety-six.

Not Necessary.......2006-07-11

I purchased this book to help me prepare for the AP Chemistry exam and my class final, but when I started to read it, I put it aside and never opened it again because it was too simplistic. You're already going to know the stuff that they're telling you; the stuff that you need to know is the information that they leave out. You're much better off just sticking to your class notes. That's how I got a five.

SOMEWHAT REALISTIC.......2006-07-04

This book was not bad.It assumes that you have mastered almost everything about Chemistry at the AP level because it does not cover the topics in specific detail. Most of the chapters are less than 10 pages =.= It succinctly gives you all the key information (i.e. the formulas, basics, etc) but fails to help a chemistry student in distress (in my opinion). For content, I used the Barrons AP Chemistry book. However, the tests in the Princeton book was realistic especially the MC although the free response might have been a bit easy. The real AP Chemistry test that I took was extremely similar. Predictablty, scoring 5s on both of the Princeton's practice tests, I got a 5 on the test. I recommend Princeton Review as a "cheat sheet" and as good, realistic practice. If you want a throrough review, however, i would strongly recommend Barrons.

A VERY worthwhile study tool.......2005-12-06

This book definitely saved my life. I was expecting barely a 3 on the exam; I got a 5, almost 95% due to buying this book. With barely a month left before the exam, with a teacher who had never taught the class before and an absolutely AWFUL, overcomplicated textbook, I bought this book and began looking through its sample questions and reading its review.

Not only did the review contain information that showed up directly on the exam, the sample questions were formatted in nearly exactly the same way.

My recommendation- DEFINITELY get this book, then study like mad. Do as many problems as you possibly can, and make sure to read over the explanations, since they REALLY help.

Good luck, and don't stress too much!

Various Reviews for AP Chem books.......2005-07-27

So, being this the first year I took AP courses, I went a little over zealous and purchased 3 AP Chem books. Furthermore, a friend lent me another, and I skimmed through a few more. Let me say right out I got a 4. I was a bit disappointed, but I know I should have started studying harder and more rigorously. Even so, I believe that this book (Princeton's) positively contributed to my score.

Princeton Review
If you purchase only one review book, this is definately the one to get. This was the only one I really read through. The content was worthwhile, not too long, and fairly easy to read. I did most of the questions at the end of the chapters, but only took a quick look at the MC and Free Response questions at back of the book. I was a bit pressed for time. I finished reading the book the day right before the AP test. Really bad, I know. However, I had been preparing for a few weeks by doing old AP tests and tons and tons of old FR questions. I did almost all of the FR's on collegeboard' website. This book is definately not enough to get a 5, or even a four on. You should definately get a hold of old tests and do them! Also, try to keep up with the text book during the year to make sure you at least have some idea of what's going on. With that said, I can add one more high point of this book... the REACTIONS SECTION. The best I've seen. Very thorough, and much better than the other books. There are a few more rules than those in the books though, so make sure you ask a teacher or do enough to recognize patterns.

Barrons
This is definately one of the worse ones out of the lot. (Second worse.) I had read AP Euro review books before(since the test was a few days before) and was in the process of reading Princeton's chem book. How is this relavent you ask? Well, I've heard that some review books are notorious for huge, massive errors. I had personally never experienced this before and didn't notice any in the ones I had already read. Then there was the Barron's book. I looked at a few pages, and knew this was not worth the time. Specifically, I looked at the reactions questions at the end of the book. Some of the answers were WRONG! Very discouraging and wasted my time. Don't even bother with this book.

REA
The absolute worst one out of all of them. A friend lent this to me since she had it laying around. Please note that this book was from a couple years back (though review books don't change too much). I read about 1/4 of the book. Waste of time. Hard to read, wierd diagrams, doesn't contain what's need for the test. Really makes me leary from buying more of their review books in the future.

Kaplan
One of the better ones. The periodicity section in particular stands out. It was well written. I did not read this as I had absolutely no time, but it looks like a good, reliable, review. Seems a lot thicker than Princeton's, but would probably be more thorough. The reactions section though is definately inferrior.
This would be a good backup/ supplement to Princeton's version. Now I wish I did not procrastinate and instead spent time reading Kaplan's review.

Petersons
I did not have personal experience, but a friend owned this review guide. I did however have a brief skim through it. Every thing looked correct, and I liked the format and tone. It reminded me of Kaplan's (around the same thickness too), and my friend expressed that this was quality. There weren't any reviews for this on Amazon, so unfortunately, I did not get this.

All in all, I think I scored a solid 4 and not a 5 just because of the tricky multiple choice (I should have spread my time more evenly, but I did finish). And some dues go to my crazy chem teacher. He expected us to learn the material from reading just the really, really long text books and doing questions in the back. Most people didn't, and he often said he knew most of us would not pass. He gave a few lectures and stuff but not too indepth. I never comprehended the labs we did, but luckily there weren't specific questions on them. Also he said that some sections, like organic chemistry, weren't on the test. Except they were, and it wasn't just one question. Maybe if I had spent time doing the Princeton Reviews 2 tests, and reading through it again I could have gotten a 5.

It wants 5 stars, so I'll give it 4........2005-07-02

This book does a fair job at doing what it's supposed to do, and that's review. Basically you should already have challenged yourself by going through a textbook or something and really learning chem, then you can go through this book as a refresher. The set-up of this book is very good, but you can't just read through it for it to be worth your while. The essays in this book were pretty helpful, and some were practically the same as on the real AP test. If you actually take the time to write out actual essays like you would on the real thing, you can also enhance your BSing skills. If you are ever stuck, just talk about atomic radius or something. So somewhere in the book it says it has everything you need to know to get a 5, which may be true, but it doesn't have the detail for you to comprehend all the material just from reading what's practically an outline of the course. So get the book, use Barron's too because it's more detailed, and then really learn things from a textbook. Alright, so like all the other losers that wrote their scores for their credibility, I too got a 5. There.

Book Description

The Symposium on Magnetic Ultrathin Films, Multilayers and
Surfaces, hosted by the European Materials Research Society, was
held at the Palais de la Musique et des Congré in
Strasbourg, France on June 4-7, 1996. Its central theme was the
relationship of magnetic properties and device performance to
structure at the nano and micrometer length scale. Research on
the magnetism of surfaces, ultrathin films and multilayers has
increased dramatically during recent years. This development was
triggered by the discovery of coupling between ferromagnetic
layers across nonmagnetic spacer layers and of the giant
magnetoresistance effect in systems of reduced dimension using
various micro and nanofabrication techniques has become a subject
of special interest. It is certainly the promising application
potential of these effects in new magnetic recording device
geometries which causes this intensive research, which is done
both by companies and at universities and research
institutes.

A selection of invited and contributed papers
presented at the Symposium and accepted for publication is
contained in this volume. The contents of these proceedings are
organized into seven sections.

A. Nanowires, Nanoparticles,
Nanostructuring

B. Ultrathin Films and Surfaces,
Characterization

C. Giant Magnetoresistance

D. Coupling,
Tunneling

E. Growth, Structure, Magnetism

F. Growth,
Structure, Magnetoresistance

G. Coupling, Magnetic processes,
Magneto-optics.

The first four sections contain invited and
oral contributed papers in the listed research domains, while the
last three sections contain the contributions presented during
three large poster sessions.

Kraft's most inventive and downright fun novel yet. "A real delight. Peter Leroy's world shines through just like childhood itself: both tiny and enormous, full of mystery and wonder."--Robert Plunket, New York Times Book Review. Black-and-white photographs.

Customer Reviews:

Sex, Peas, and Politics.......1998-11-17

An advertisement for Troubled Titan Peas hits us with the lines,"How Much Time Do You Have? YOU NEVER KNOW! In these TROUBLED TIMES, when it could be 'here today, gone tomorrow,' you need WHOLESOME food that you can 'heat 'n eat'! You need QUALITY...IN A JIFF!..." And then advertises bomb shelters. Nevertheless, the peas in this book are a gateway to a pubescent sexual fantasy come true. Kraft takes on all of the best parts of growing up in Babbington, NY (or any part of America in the late 50's) with this novel. It's smart, humorous, and as engaging a book as I've ever read.

Two fingers-on-peas up for Eric Kraft.......1996-12-20

Jump into the world of Peter Leroy. Kraft uses Peter Leroy to meditate beautifully on memory, imagination, longing, and loss while he spins a quirky and poignant tale which makes you wish you could remember every word, you wish you could create like Kraft, you long to spend more time with Peter and his friends, and mourn the loss of their company when the book ends. Read this book because you'll want to find out what the Glynns have Peter do with the peas.
