a time-effective way to prepare for the GMAT.......2004-06-09

this study guide is well written and includes all the necessary math and English review notes needed to "study" for the GMAT. The notes are helpful and worth the read before tackling the practice questions.

If you have time to spare, I would recommend using this book in combination with the GMAT official guide published by ETS (it comes with 1400 practice questions).

included CD is invaluable.......2003-08-28

For those thinking about taking the GMAT, it is absolutely essential that you prepare correctly before the test, not so much in order to do some last minute memorization (there's no arcane vocabulary to memorize or anything like that), but more to get yourself familiar with the type and style of the questions, and to sharpen your skills in answering them. The style of question can be overwhelming, or in some cases, deceptive, so having a guide that breaks down the questions and instructs you on where to focus in order to arrive at the correct answer in invaluable. The Kaplan study guide does a great job at taking you through these problems. The math of the GMAT can be tricky - it requires you to think in a different way than you're used to. The guide will take you through it. More importantly, the book takes you through and explains the grammar part of the test. Most people, including myself, have terrible grammar skills but don't even know it (as I am sure this review proves), as most English teaching is pretty lax and the stuff that wasn't we didn't pay attention to anyway. The guide will take you through that all, and provides ample opportunity to practice with many, many examples. The real gem in this packages is the CD-ROM. It's not just a plain rehashing of what's in the book, as are a couple of other guides I've tried. Rather, I'd almost go so far as to say the book is almost just a rehashing of the CD. It's got interactive lessons, it's analytical, suggests areas of improvement, and even tosses out little facts (that it actually uses your imput to determine) that get you excited about taking the test. It's got a light, fun feel to it in terms of the layout and look, which can be good if you're stressing about the test. Plus, since the test is completely administered by computer nowadays, it's essential to get familiar with that form of testtaking. The book is good for practicing away from home, but you will definitely want to stick to the CD. The only reason why I knocked a star off was because the practice tests were so much harder than the real thing that it could actually discourage you. I'd suggest registering for the test early on, because they send you a CD with a couple of practice tests on it - ones that are more like the real thing. I was getting pretty dissapointing results and getting discouraged. But I took the GMAT's practice test, and scored almost 150 points higher than my Kaplan practice tests. My actual GMAT score ended up being 100 points higher than my last Kaplan test, so again, I have to question making the practices THAT difficult. But overall, a great resource that I beleive is essential to success on the GMATs.

Good book.......2002-11-20

I used thi book to prepre my GMAT and I scored 760.
There are few tests on the book in itself but the software on the CD rom is very useful.
I suggest to get also the Official guide to GMAT with the official powerprep software.

A great practice book for GMAT.......2002-09-15

Kaplan has done a great job with this book. The techniques to solve various verbal and math problems are very helpful and one can improve his/her score if one takes this book seriously and uses it properly. You have to spend time with the book and do all the excercises if you want to get the max out of it.
I would like to see more excercises in future editions though.

Good Questions- bad CD's.......2002-08-01

Kaplan provides a good series of hard questions. Therefore, if you don't mind working from the book, you won't be disappointed. However, a "glitch" is that most Kaplan CD's do not work on Windows 2000 or NT systems!! You can call the Kaplan Technical Support line and they will tell you that many many users have this complaint, they will add your complaint to the list, and then advise that you find an older computer or sign up for a Kaplan course if you would like on-line or CD access. (They will apologize too if that makes you feel better.) Therefore, yes good questions if you can get to them!!

Book Description

MARSWALK ONE: First Steps on a New Planet addresses the question of why we should embark on a journey to Mars, documenting what the first human crew will do when they place their feet in the red dust of the planet. The book also addresses why we need to carry out these tasks and, more importantly, what a human crew could achieve that an automated mission could not. Understanding the clear benefits of sending a human crew to the surface of Mars, and how these benefits can be seen back on Earth, is the key to sustained long-term public and political support for the programme in terms of cash and commitment. The book accepts that the journey will be made, but does not specify precisely when. Flight time, and how to get to and from the planet are discussed briefly, to understand why the suggested duration spent at Mars is reasonable. The main objective of the work is to look at what science will be done on the surface – supported by orbital operations – and what hardware and technology will be employed to achieve the mission objectives. This analysis is drawn from previous experiences in manned and unmanned space programmes, including Apollo, Skylab, Salyut/Mir, Shuttle and ISS, Viking, Luna/Lunokhod, and recent Mars missions such as Pathfinder and Global Surveyor. In addition, new interviews with key personalities involved in planning Martian exploration, and discussions about current thoughts on what we need to accomplish on Mars when we get there, will provide a lively and thought provoking account that could generate fresh debate. When the decision is finally made to go to Mars, it will be made in the knowledge that most of the world knows why we are going and what benefits mankind will see for the effort. The authors’ primary objective is to begin this understanding.

Book Description

The ability to conduct measurements on living organisms and systems has developed at a momentous rate concurrent with changes in technology over recent years. Measurement plays a vital role in developing our understanding of biological processes and in furthering our ability to understand and then treat illnesses and injuries. However, in conducting measurements on living organisms the information we collect comes in many different guises, is variable and the measurand is often unstable. Understanding these complexities is fundamental to biological and biomedical measurement. This concise encyclopedia therefore contains more than a comprehensive survey of the measurement systems. It includes also descriptions of the biological systems and subsystems so that the way in which decisions are made on measurement for a given application can be understood more easily. The encyclopedia contains specially commissioned articles and updated and revised articles from the acclaimed Systems & Control Encyclopedia. A vast array of disciplines are covered in this concise, comprehensive single volume, which will be a vital reference tool for practitioners in the area, measurement experts moving into the biological and biomedical field and beginners needing to understand methods of measurement and the complexities of the measurand.

Customer Reviews:

It helped me train my min pin (minature Pincher).......2001-06-21

This book is great. It told me everything that I was doing wrong when I was training my min pin. It did'nt even hhousebreak yet because of this book. I got it trained in a day!

Outstanding Reference Book.......2001-03-24

This is a profound, one-and-done reference for a new dog person, whether he or she is rescuing an adult, adopting a puppy or dogsitting for a friend. Without qualification, I think it should replace a book with monks as a primary reference tool. Experienced dog guardians will also enjoy this as a refresher or for a new way of looking at conventional training methods.

... good, effective book on basic trouble shooting ..........2001-03-19

The author draws on her own experience with 2 poodles ... as well, as the training & trouble solving methods of other trainers ... this approach alone makes the book rather unusual and refreshing ... too many writers believe that theirs is the best or only way ...

Contains sound sensible advice, adopts gentle training methods ... with interesting chapters on dog nutrition and medication/inoculations that take an alternative (holistic?) approach ... worth considering ...

Oh ... and don't let the number `25' fool you ... the author covers almost all the issues commonly faced by dog owners everywhere ...

This book is very clearly written, well organinsed and makes for easy reading ... useful for all dog owners ... very good for first time dog owners ...

25 Stupid Mistakes Dog Owners Make.......2000-12-29

Anyone who may ever encounter a dog should read this book. Everyone should. Janine Adams brings up issues often ignored by many first-time dog owners, and reminds long-time dog owners that there are many ways to handle dogs and their problems, some more effective than others, and some more radical than others. Ms. Adams' writing is refreshingly clear and open, and she touches on just about all the issues from housebreaking and puppyhood to letting go in the end, and everything in-between. This is an easy-to-read book that can serve as simple reference for everyone. You can read it straight through, or in a few sittings, or you can refer to a chapter at a time as you see fit. You should read this book. Your dog will thank you. Everyone should read this book, it's really that good!

25 Stupid Mistakes Dog Owners Make.......2000-11-16

Janine Adams talent is that she can make her books relevant to everyman. This book isn't for trainers, or for breeders, or people with pedigreed dogs - but for the ordinary dog lover. Anyone who wants a dog to share their life should pick up this book and read it cover to cover. If you already have a dog - what are you waiting for?? Get this book - it's a great Christmas gift!

Disgusting!.......2004-07-15

Dogs put their lives at risks for their owners, and this author says we love them because they're "stupid"? Has he ever heard of Old Yeller, Lassie, Rin Tin Tin, Old Dan, Little Ann, and Sounder? All those dogs died to protect their owners! People should NOT have dogs as companions if they're going to be so incredibly ungrateful!

Buy this book. It is very cute!.......2004-02-29

My mom and I are always arguing over who is stupider: cats or dogs. So, of course, when I saw this book in the book store I HAD to buy it. I'm glad I did. It's a little pricey considering the size of the book but I still think it was well worth it. My grandpa got such a big kick out of it that he had me running all over the county trying to find it. It's very hard to find and Amazon sells it at the lowest price I've seen. If you love dogs or are like me and would like some help sticking up for our feline friends, I suggest that you buy this book.

very funny!.......2001-01-21

I picked up this book in a local bookshop and feel in love with it! If you have a dog then you know how dumb they can act at times and this book shows that through pictures and funny remarks. This book brought me many laughs and memories and i think it can easily be enjoyed by anyone, especially those dog lovers out there!

Customer Reviews:

Funny.......2004-12-08

I happen to know Max personally and I can vouch that everything he says in the book is true. My dog was very impressed by what his cousin had to say. The observations Max and Scooter make are hilarious.

Like Dr. Laura, except without the verbal abuse........2003-12-29

A lovely book, with stylish illustrations. While it reflects a bias toward certain warm-blooded, furry pets, statistics show that that higher mammals are more likely to make bad decisions than reptiles or fish, and, moreover, are far more likely to regret those decisions.

One of the funniest books that I ever read........1999-07-30

If you are a pet lover, especially a lover of labs and dachshunds, you will find this book delightful. If you need a insight into your pet or would like to lift your spirits and have a good laugh. I highly suggest that you purchase this book.

This book is a real Howl !.......1998-11-27

Max and Scooter deserve an honored place with the likes of Freud and Jung,only with more humor!

Filled with humor and delight!.......1998-08-10

This book depicts our dogs' ruff life perfectly. Our three dogs were thrilled as they slept on our pillows while we read the book to them!
