a few mis-print and typos in the book.......2007-09-11

The book i received has some charts not shown up clearly. Some charts are misplaced in the book like the ones on page 51. The quality of the book (at least the print) doesn't look professional. The content is similar to other case interview books.

this book got me my job........2007-07-22

Great book. This and Marc Cosentino's book "Case in point" are the only two books you need. I read these books 1 week before my interviews and practiced as suggested and received my offer.

Thank you Vault.

VERY GOOD BOOK ON CASE REVIEW IN INTERVIEWING.......2007-06-09

VERY GOOD BOOK IN INTERVIEWING AND INVESTIGATION. AND IN GETTING A JOB AND MUCH MORE.

Grate opportunity.......2007-05-19

This is a very useful book. I highly recommend it to everybody interested in consulting.

Good book, but not the ultimite guide.......2007-04-01

I have read the biggest part of this book, and most of it satisfies my expectations. There are a lot of tips and stories about consulting cases in it. I helped me to understand what to expect for consulting cases and how to prepare them.
I am a bit disappointed about the quality of the book, if you compare it to the price. The book is not very thick, it is made of recycled paper and there are advertorials in it.
Otherwise the inside information is useful, so it is a good thing to buy this book.

THE LATINO HEALTH BIBLE.......2002-05-10

At a time when there is a proliferation of New Age books on Latinos on the shelves, it is refreshing to find such a serious and indepth collection of articles that explore the important issue of health in the Latino community. This is a comprehensive reader written by leading scholars and practitioners of Latino health issues. It represents an important follow-up to the editors' earlier pathbreaking reader on the subject. This is a serious academic textbook and is certainly not a light read, but it should be on the bookshelves of all persons and institutions concerned about the health status of the Latino community.

This quick-reference guide contains over 400 Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectra of commonly used pesticides and related metabolites. Systematically arranged for easy referral, the book: supplies relevant chemical, physical and structural data, in addition to the spectra; compares the improved quality of spectra performed on Fourier transform instruments, in terms of signal-to-noise ratio and optical resolution, to those recorded on dispersive spectrometers; and promotes Good Laborotory Practices (GLP) and Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) by applying infrared spectroscopy to identify control of standards prior to performing qualitative and quantitative analyses.

Book Description

A cause for international celebration—the most important Sherlock Holmes publication in four decades.

This monumental edition promises to be the most important new contribution to Sherlock Holmes literature since William Baring-Gould's 1967 classic work. In this boxed set, Leslie Klinger, a leading world authority, reassembles Arthur Conan Doyle's 56 classic short stories in the order in which they appeared in late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century book editions. Inside, readers will find a cornucopia of insights: beginners will benefit from Klinger's insightful biographies of Holmes, Watson, and Conan Doyle; history lovers will revel in the wealth of Victorian literary and cultural details; Sherlockian fanatics will puzzle over tantalizing new theories; art lovers will thrill to the 700-plus illustrations, which make this the most lavishly illustrated edition of the Holmes tales ever produced. The New Annotated Sherlock Holmes illuminates the timeless genius of Arthur Conan Doyle for an entirely new generation of readers. 700+ illustrations.

The Best Annotated Holmes Collection Available.......2007-08-14

Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories are widely available in numerous editions, but this one stands out for three reasons. First, there is a superb introudction of over 60 pages ("The World of Sherlock Holmes"); second, there are numerous original illustrations, photographs of the scenes of the stories, and so on; third, and most important, the annotations--which are extensive--include both real facts about the Victorian world that one needs to know to understand the stories *and* "Sherlockiana".

For example, when, in "the Adventure of the Beryl Coronet", a mysterious nobleman asks a banker for "a trifling sum" of 50,000 pounds, the modern reader might shrug--surely 50,000 pounds *is* indeed a "trifling sum" for a rich nobleman?--until one realizes, as the annotations say, that it would be over $6,000,000 today. The annotators do an excellent job with such factoids: less and some of the stories' references would remain obscure; more and they would become pedantic.

What really sets it apart, however, are the "Sherlockian" annotations, which pretend "A. C. Doyle" was Watson's pen name and that the stories describe real events--and makes up theories to explain apparent contradictions or omissions. For example, in "The Man with the Twisted Lip", Watson's wife calls him "James" (instead of "John"). Why? The obvious answer--Doyle made a slip--is, of course, not allowed by the rules of the Sherlockian "game". The annotators give three pages to summarising the numerous theories Sherlockians offered--from claiming "James" was Watson's middle name, to claims it was her lover's name (thus also "discovering" Waton's middle name, and/or explaining why he seems to have left his wife).

Even if you have no interest at all in such intellectual games, the photographs and illustrations, the historical introduction, and the factual annotations alone more than justify a "five stars" rating. If you *are* interested in Shelockiana, these books are more than that--they're an instant classic, sure to be the "standard edition" of Sherlock fans for years to come.

conan doyle changed police procedure from beating todeduction .......2007-08-10

Conanan Doylechanged police from bribers of low life to rat on others or to beat confessions from poorly educated or low intelligence souls tothose who sought to know the facts.The facts came from evidence of all sorts, witnesses,debris on the scene, or from the area or arena of suspects o those involved. The courts the\n rejected evidence that was tainted.This included statements from tortured or possibly tortured persons that was not corrobrated by tangible evidence. So today we have a system that is closer to trying to get the truth than getting a conviction. This enables those who can manipulate it to beat the justice sytem in the short term. The safety valve is that those who tend to break the law do so again until getting caught.

BEAUTIFUL! ~~An HONOR to Doyle, and to HOLMES!.......2007-07-16

Well, to start, I see that I am the 25th person to review this double volume of these marvelous stories in this wonderful edition.

It is so wonderful to sit down in my big old wing-back chair, especially on a rainy day or evening, and re-read these fabulous stories again, some for perhaps the 6th or 7th time, others the 3rd or 4th. And, the highlight, of course, is to ponder the notations in the margins of these wonderfully crafted and beautifully presented books.

Next time you feel like doing something "Nice" for yourself, why not treat yourself to this beautiful, and so much fun to revisit, set of the Sherlock Holmes Short Stories! You will never regret it...they always seem to be like old forgotten friends each time you come back to them. ~operabruin

(PS: Do not forget the Novels, also part of this edition in their own volume.)

Masterful.......2006-08-18

I cannot add to the kudos bestowed by virtually every review of this 2 volume delight.
A warning: Check the "Adventure of the Priory School" for missing footnotes. The numbers appear in the margins but the (red type) prose is missing! Someone goofed seriously at the printer's shop. This may not be a major catastrophe (perhaps it is an intentional mystery created by the author), but it's like buying a new car with a dimple in the hood: you know it's there (or, in this instance, it isn't there!) If you are affected by this lack of annotation, return the volumes to Amazon, write a letter to the publisher (Norton) and get restitution, by George!

Excellent production, could have been bound better.......2006-07-23

Rather than repeat the reviews of the previous authors, I'd like to make two points related to the production of the book:

The book should have been stitched rather than gummed at the spine. I can almost foresee my grandson many years hence trying to read Grandpa's favorite book that was willed to him, only to have the spine break. A book of enduring value must have a stitched spine. OTOH looks like it has been printed on acid-free paper, which is a good thing.

How I wish there was a CD-ROM edition. The book is unbelievably bulky. That is fine for someone's study or library. If there was a CD-ROM based edition, people short on space, or those who travel on public transport could enjoy the author's work more conveniently (e.g. by reading on their laptop).

Unfortunately Amazon does not ship this book free. But some of its competitors do. It pays to shop around.

Book Description

Elizabeth Berg, bestselling author of The Art of Mending and The Year of Pleasures, has a rare talent for revealing her characters’ hearts and minds in a manner that makes us empathize completely. Her new novel, We Are All Welcome Here, features three women, each struggling against overwhelming odds for her own kind of freedom.
It is the summer of 1964. In Tupelo, Mississippi, the town of Elvis’s birth, tensions are mounting over civil-rights demonstrations occurring ever more frequently–and violently–across the state. But in Paige Dunn’s small, ramshackle house, there are more immediate concerns. Challenged by the effects of the polio she contracted during her last month of pregnancy, Paige is nonetheless determined to live as normal a life as possible and to raise her daughter, Diana, in the way she sees fit–with the support of her tough-talking black caregiver, Peacie.
Diana is trying in her own fashion to live a normal life. As a fourteen-year-old, she wants to make money for clothes and magazines, to slough off the authority of her mother and Peacie, to figure out the puzzle that is boys, and to escape the oppressiveness she sees everywhere in her small town. What she can never escape, however, is the way her life is markedly different from others’. Nor can she escape her ongoing responsibility to assist in caring for her mother. Paige Dunn is attractive, charming, intelligent, and lively, but her needs are great–and relentless.
As the summer unfolds, hate and adversity will visit this modest home. Despite the difficulties thrust upon them, each of the women will find her own path to independence, understanding, and peace. And Diana’s mother, so mightily compromised, will end up giving her daughter an extraordinary gift few parents could match.

A wonderful book that should not be missed........2007-09-09

I am an Eliizabeth Berg fan and have read,I think all of her books. When I read the author's note I knew this would be somewhat different. Berg has made a wonderful book from the life of Pat Raming as told by her daughter Marianne Raming Burke. This is a book that will remain with me for sometime.It was impossible to put down once I started, it was over far too soon. I thank Ms Berg once again for ability to tell a story and involve the hearts of her readers.

Rating This Was Difficult Although Reading It Was Not!!.......2007-09-02

I finished this 2 weeks ago thinking it was almost too much to believe. However, I find myself still thinking/caring about the characters. I have often stated that I prefer character driven books, and this is certainly character driven!! Peacie is a GIFT of a human!! The mother/daughter relationship seems "real." Polio is described in a manner that offers insight, and while we have vaccines for this, one still may think about the need for stem cell research for other diseases. As long as a book offers compelling characters, situations, relationships and is thought-provoking, in my opinion one should be somewhat more tolerant in rating it [I'm speaking ONLY for myself!]. While this WAS NOT one of my very favorite books, I did love Peacie and very much liked Paige and her daughter, etc.

A vastly different premise from Berg's usual..........2007-08-16

Thirteen-year-old Diana Dunn has spent her life being raised by a single mother, Paige, who gave birth to her inside an iron lung after contracting polio. Something of a miracle from the start, the two women's lives continue to rely largely upon luck -- and the physical support of Peacie, a black caretaker who has devoted herself to the Dunns since Diana's birth.

Through Peacie and her boyfriend LaRue, who has gone to help Southern blacks register to vote, Diana begins to understand the need for equality between all people. Just as all races need to achieve and maintain tolerance, so does society for Paige; despite only being able to move her head, Diana's mother is a brilliant woman, full of intelligent ideas and plans.

Although all the action described takes place within a few short months one 1960s summer, it seems like a lifetime for Paige, Diana, Peacie and LaRue, all of whom undergo huge irreversible personal changes.

Cried @ the end!!.......2007-08-01

LOVED this novel! Read it in 2 days. Wept @ the end. Great!

Not my favorite Berg book!.......2007-07-23

I think the only reason I finished this book was because I was on a 6 hour plane ride. Not my kind of book. Seemed very depressing. I like character studies but this one just did not have enough happen in it. The reason it gets 2 stars is because of Berg's other books.
