            5 out of 5 stars The first and best book on service quality and teamwork.......1998-08-23

            This book rated an introduction by management guru Tom Peters because it was the first good book on quality and employee participation to be published in the USA. I rate it as a "gotta have if you care about your customers," because it was not only the first, it is still rates head and shoulders above anything that has been written since.

                          Book Description

                          From the beginning of Space Astronomy, the Extreme Ultraviolet band of the spectrum (roughly defined as the decade in energy from 90-900 Å) was deemed to be the `unobservable ultraviolet'. Pioneering results from an EUV telescope on the Apollo-Soyuz Mission in 1975 forcibly demonstrated that this view was incorrect; but it required the all-sky surveys of the English Wide-Field Camera and the Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer to demonstrate the broad potential of this field. Over 700 EUV sources have now been detected.
                          Over 150 researchers from 16 countries gathered to share results in this new field at the International Astronomical Union Colloquium No. 152. Papers were presented on a wide variety of topics including cool star coronae, white dwarf atmospheres and evolution, neutron stars, the Io torus, cataclysmic variable stars, active galactic nuclei, the interstellar medium, winds and atmospheres of early type stars, and EUV plasma diagnostics.
                          Selected manuscripts from this meeting are provided in these Conference Proceedings.

                                  This text describes the development of astronomy in the Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) wavelength range, from the first rocket-based experiments in the late 1960s through to the latest satellite missions. Discussions of the results from the most important space projects are followed by an analysis of the contributions made by EUV astronomy to the study of specific groups of astronomical objects. Within this framework, the book provides detailed material on the tools of EUV astronomy, dealing with the instrumentation, observational techniques, and modelling tools for the interpretation of data. Prospects for future EUV missions are discussed, and a catalogue of the known EUV sources is included. This timely book will be of great value to graduate students and researchers. It is the first to give a complete overview of Extreme Ultraviolet astronomy, and comes at the end of a major phase of discovery in the field.

                                                Protists represent an immensely diverse group of organisms comprised of algae, fungi and protozoa. The nature of protistan cell surface is as diverse as the terminology that has evolved to describe the various surface components. This terminology is defined and discussed in the opening of this book. The remaining contributions provide an up-to-date synopsis of structure, development and function of protistan cell surfaces, including their role in taxonomy and systematics.

                                                  Pulled once again from the hip to the mainstream, this collection of fiction, nonfiction, alternative comics, and "anything else that defies categorization" (USA Today) is as fresh and bold as ever. Compiled by Dave Eggers and students from his San Francisco writing center, it's a "bouillabaisse of nonrequired reading that should be required" (Publishers Weekly). Contributors include Jhumpa Lahiri, George Saunders, William Langewiesche, Stephen Elliott, and others.

                                                  I love most of the "Best American" series, but I eagerly look forward to the "Nonrequired Reading" title. This volume is one of the best, with wonderful, quirky, hard to find stories that range all over the place. Selected by high schoolers, it gives me hope for the future that this is what our youth find of interest.

                                                  The fourth edition of David Eggers Best American Nonrequired Reading is an impressive collection of twenty four of the year's finest fiction, essays, and memoirs. Culled from a mountain of publications and assembled by a group of teenagers at Eggers' 826 Valencia; a non-profit writing lab, drop-in tutoring center and the Bay Area's only independent pirate supply shop, this collection is a refreshing approach to modern American literature.
                                                  Covering a huge spread of interests and emotions Best American has everything from William T. Vollmann's (The Came Out Like Ants!) search for subterranean Chinese casinos and opium dens hidden under the streets of Mexicali since the nineteenth century to the almost familiar lives of Douglas Trevor (Girls I Know) and Ryan Boudinot (Free Burgers For Life). Completely devoid of clichés and tired literary devices every page of the genre-less Best American will have you awaiting next year's collection.

                                                  I'm a fan of short stories and essays in general because I tend to finish a good 60 to 70% of the ones I start. Contrast that to novels and non-fiction monographs, where, secondary to undertreated ADHD and a busy schedule, I probably complete less than 10% of books I start. That's okay, I like accumulating books with bookmarks a third of the way in. An unfinished book is like a totem, a sacred symbol of potential wisdom, something to anticipate. But still, there is something satisfying and confidence boosting about reading something completely in one sitting.

                                                  I like this series, the adolescents we are told do the selections must have a keen eye for talent. Unlike other reviewers, I was not bothered by some of the overlap, in particular multiple stories about sibling rivalry. It's a pretty big theme in the lives of most people with siblings, and its effects resonate in multiple realms of our relationships and interactions. Perhaps it's closer to the surface for the Bay area teenagers who made these selections. That's fine. Personally, I'm glad they didn't throw out any of these stories in the name of variety and balance. Oh, by the way, have you gotten into Sudoku yet? You really should.

                                                  I particularly enjoyed Molly McNett's work, I hope we'll hear more from her, as well as the contributions by Franken, Saunders, Vollmann, Dickinson, and Boudinot. Big fan, big fan. So far, 2005 is the best edition of this series.

                                                  I found the book to be a delightful read. The characters are very well developed and make the pages come to life. It is a book that will make you laugh and cry. I also enjoyed her other book, The Sunday Wife.

                                                  What a waste of time! I'd like to count how many times the word, "gourd" was used in this book! Seriously - gourds? The last few pages were laughable as the dying woman gave each of college buddies a little gourd and then left them with instructions for the disbursement of her ashes in her "special" gourd.

                                                  I thought I was reading the redneck version of Sinclair Lewis' "Main Street," except for the fact that this wasn't a satire.

                                                  The new novel by the celebrated author of The Sunday Wife chronicles the lives of a tight-knit group of lifelong friends.None of the Same Sweet Girls are really girls anymore and none of them have actually ever been that sweet. But this spirited group of Southern women, who have been holding biannual reunions ever since they were together in college, are nothing short of compelling. There's Julia Stovall, the First Lady of Alabama, who, despite her public veneer, is a down-to-earth gal who only wants to know who her husband is sneaking out with late at night. There's Lanier Sanders, whose husband won custody of their children after he found out about her fling with a colleague. Then there's Astor Deveaux, a former Broadway showgirl who simply can't keep her flirtations in check. And Corinne Cooper, whose incredible story comes to light as the novel unfolds.

                                                  This was about 6 girls who became friends in college and have continued to meet twice a year since graduation. The setting of the book begins when they are in their late 40's and describes the lives of these women together and apart, dealing with their own personal experiences. I thought King did an excellent job writing about southern women, with their humor, their strength and their spunk. Her writing is full of emotion and I found myself on the quintessential roller coaster ride, laughing out loud and then later, with a lump in my throat. I thought this book shows immense talent in expressing deep emotion, humor and is an excellent depiction of southern fiction. I was surprised to learn she is Pat Conroy's wife. I would definitely be interested in reading another one of her novels.

                                                  I found this book at a rummage sale of all places ~~ and since I was battling insomnia, I stayed up most of the night to read it ~~ and finished it this morning after two preschoolers woke me up to tell me they were hungry for breakfast. If you have to have insomnia ~~ this book is great for it! It will entertain you all the way through and you won't be able to put the book down. I didn't laugh out loud but it is funny and a little bit sarcastic ~~ which I love.

                                                  This book is about friendship and love. I am wondering though if this book is a sequel because it feels so unfinished ~~ yes, they've been friends for thirty years, but I was hoping to get more of a feel of what they were like when they were in college and just out of college. This novel focuses more on three characters than the six of them together. The other three characters seem to be there as fillers ~~ which is sad because I'd love to hear their stories too. Anyhow, there's Julia, the governor's wife, who feels no passion for her husband and is tired of the glittery life she has been living for years. She has a great secret from her past that haunts her to this day. Then there's Lanier, who allowed an affair to destroy her marriage and she retreats to Dauphin Island, her childhood summer home, to recover and "lick her wounds." There's Corrine, an artist who lives in the Blue Mountains, struggling to recover the peace she has been seeking for years. Together, the three come together in one of the worst and best times of their lives and forged a new chapter in their middle age. Lanier and Corrine were roommates in college and Julia was roommates with Astor, a character that is very unlikable ~~ at least, I didn't like her. She seems to bring trouble with her wherever she goes ...

                                                  This novel covers a year of their friendship and leaves much to be desired, especially at the end where the novel seems to be abruptly ended. It went from laughter, wine and being good friends to a sad but happy scene ... there's so much missing that this novel feels like an unfinished work. That's so disappointing to me since I did enjoy her first novel, "The Sunday Wife."

                                                  But if you're not nitpicky like me ~~ you will love this novel! How can you not? It's about friendship, regrets, loves, dreams and finding your own way again. It will make you cry (I did) and it will make you long for your friends again ... it is a wonderfully written book ~~ perfect for summer at the lake.

                                                  This was a wonderful sotry of sisterhood that made me wish I belonged to such a fun and supportive circle of friends, especially in the face of tragedy. Controlling men who treat their women badly raise my ire. Patricia Kalember's voice gave realistic life to this beautiful story, which did not disappoint.

                                                  Cassandra King can capture a Southern Belle and she does in The Same Sweet Girls story. You almost have to be a Dixie Darling yourself to fully appreciate each of these women, however, and from the reviews not every reader does. Nevertheless, I enjoyed this book almost as much as The Sunday Wife. I like King's style of writing, and I know these people she's talking about even though they drive you crazy at times.
                                                  I do wonder, however, how many loyal daughters of the W, the REAL W, Mississippi University for Women in Mississippi, the oldest state supported college for women in the country, will rise up in arms because King has moved their beloved alma mater over into Alabama and even brought along its spiral fire escapes. Poetic license no doubt, but as I read, I put it back where it belonged as there are many such friends there who would fit the cast as well. If you belong to one of these groups, you'll like King's story even better.

                                                  I especially enjoyed this book. I have been with a close knit group of women for 20 years now and this book brought all that home to me and the fact that we are getting older and someday we will be losing some of our dear friends. Enjoyed the personalities in the book and the message: Live life to the fullest, be accepting of others, and don't ever be afraid to say what you feel.

                                                  4 out of 5 stars The Same Sweet Girls-Delightful book.......2007-08-30

                                                  I really enjoyed this book. I think it appeals more to southerners, however. The novel chronicles a group of young college friends who have continued their friendship for many years (in twice a year weekend visits)until they are now in their 50's. Three of the women are developed significantly more than the others. The ladies have very complex relationships amongst themselves. The book will make you laugh through your tears. Highly recommend the book.
