Book Description

This is one of the first books to deal with imaging of pathology of the entire visual system. It is divided into two parts, general and special. In the general part, the most important basics of modern imaging methods are discussed, but with less emphasis on the physical background than in purely neuro-/radiological textbooks. Chapters are devoted to the meticulous presentation of imaging anatomy of the orbit and intracranial visual pathway. The latest knowledge on the indication, technique, and results of functional MR imaging is presented. Visual system impairment in the pediatric age group is also discussed. The special part of the book provides detailed descriptions of the symptoms and clinical and imaging findings in individual patients with orbital and intracranial pathologies. This book is specifically designed to be of value not only to neuroradiologists but also to ophthalmologists, neurosurgeons, oto-/rhino-laryngologists, and neurologists who require more detailed information on these special diseases.

Book Description

Author Germán Alfaro offers us a passionate work of fiction with his latest work. The Earth has become deeply wounded by its mistreatment by humans over the course of centuries, since before the Industrial Era, and its existence is now in grave danger. Ihito Toyada, a Japanese geologist, has developed a theory, which is rejected by all but a few of his colleagues: Earth's axis is slowly becoming displaced due to the enormous transfer of minerals from one part of the planet to the other, as well as other acts against the environment.

Toyada predicts that there will be catastrophic consequences as a result of this "disinertia of Earth's axis". At the same time, hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunamis and other natural phenomena begin to occur all over the planet, as well as geographical changes that imperil various locations around the world. As a result, Earth's population plummets drastically.

Finally, his theories are heard by the highest authorities, and he is called upon to direct a last-ditch mission of enormous effort, to restore Earth's delicate balance of existence, and save mankind and its other inhabitants.

The plot is masterfully conceived, and unraveled at a pace that no reader will wish to let go until the very last word.

Book Description

Fire has been mankind's companion and foe since the dawn of time. It's a fundamental element of the planet, like air, shaping the patterns of life. Our opinion of fire has changed often, but fire itself is the same. The real challenge from fire is to understand it and the earth we live on.

Fire presents opportunities for new life that doesn't exist until a burn. Each place responds in its own way and its own time. While the forests and grasslands of today are products of earlier fires, they are also setting the stage for fires to come.

Great book, lots info.......2007-06-13

This book has been very helpful in all aspects of RVing. You can just turn to any section and it's easy to read.

Less an Idiot now that I read it.......2007-04-10

I was contimplating purchasing an RV, but knew virtually nothing about RVing. This little book really did well for me. I couldn't find it under "Camping and RVing" that I put into the Amazon search, and it really needs to be there. It's very basic.....as it should be for complete idiots to RVing like me. So, now, I'm the owner of one of these playhouses, and my search for a used Class B made sense because of what I'd read in this book.

Idoits huide to RVing..Hummm.......2007-03-03

Well written and fun to read. Gives a good level of information to the new RVer without being to technical. Modern and current information. No, you will not learn how to tear your fridge apart, but is that what you are really after at this time?

Thank-you Brent Peterson.......2006-09-05

Not that many years away from retirement, I starting thinking about traveling & not having to get a cat sitter each time. Hmm, makebe I could take them with me - maybe an RV would be the answer. In this book, Peterson even says a lot of people got started in RVing for that exact reason.

I read the whole book cover-to-cover in a few sittings. There is a lot of information, but it's not overwhelming because the writing is easy to read, and Peterson is funny - lots of sly humor snuck in in very unsuspecting places. I would recommend this book to anyone who is thinking about buying an RV for the first time. It may not be the ultimate "bible" for using RVs as someone complained, but it has so much information about what to look for in an RV, how to bargain with the salesman, what it's like to go on your first trip, etc., it's a great introduction.

The book was so detailed, it convinced me - I'm not cut out for it. For the price of this book, I've saved over $60k!

I won't sell the book just yet or totally abandon the idea, and I might still go to a few RV shows as he suggests, just to make sure it's not for me. This book is for you if you are also someone who knows nothing at all about the topic but think it might be fun. And if you are better at paying attention to all the little details RVing entails, he will probably convince you in the opposite direction!

A real dud.......2006-01-15

In this book I was hoping to find useful information for new RVer's. Things like the details of leveling, flushing blackwater, cleaning, packing, insurance, etc, etc. You know, the millions of details that are critically important to a successful trip all gathered into a single book so I could avoid endless hours scouring the net. Instead, I got a book where the author comes across as a mindless dolt who seems to believe that all RVer's are equally mindless. The book is repetitious, talks down to the reader, assumes the reader wants to turn the kids outside and sit on the couch and watch a Bears game in the comfort of their RV. Given all the good reviews, it was quite a disappointment.

Useless.......2000-09-09

This book is almost completely useless as a guide to Milan. It doesn't include any helpful information, such as addresses or phone numbers of important sites, and much of the "factual" information is incorrect (including misidentifying a painting at the Brera). The information on the Lakes is also so slim that it will not be any help if you want to actually do anything there. It does have a very small map that was slightly beneficial, but most of the smaller streets are not named. A waste of money.

Book Description

My father is always talking about how a dog can be very educational for a boy. This is one reason I got a cat.

Dave Mitchell and his father yell at each other a lot, and whenever the fighting starts, Dave's mother gets an asthma attack. That's when Dave storms out of the house. Then Dave meets Tom, a strange boy who helps him rescue Cat. It isn't long before Cat introduces Dave to Mary, a wonderful girl from Coney Island. Slowly Dave comes to see the complexities in people's lives and to understand himself and his family a little better.

Customer Reviews:

It's Like This, Cat.......2007-01-18

It was cool. This is probably the best book I ever read. One reason I liked this book is that I like cats. My favorite part was when Dave goes over to Kate's house and notices that a cat is hissing at a mother with kittens. Dave asks Kate to take him home, and although she is slow in letting him have Cat, she finally agrees.

This book is better than most books and Cat doesn't die like the many animal characters in others books. I recommend that you read this book!

Very Nice but...........2007-01-05

Made me extremely sad that the author had to kill off a kitten, AND in a terrible way as well.

What was the point? There were so many other alternatives for ending this book....!

I Recommend.......2006-12-15

I wonder what the target-age-group limit is on Newbery Award winners. This particular Neville title seems to be more of a young-adult book than anything else. It's about supporting character Tom, and his journey from a rough youth to a responsibly engaged man. But when the story of Tom feels like taking a break, other things pop up for us to read about. Main character Dave gets himself a girlfriend (but we never discover what becomes of the relationship), a crazy lady inherits a million bucks, red lizards are studied through research, Jewish holidays are celebrated, and Dave's cat goes around acting like a cat. I've always been a fan of such delightfully random events.

I had two major misconceptions of this novel before reading it. First, I thought the book would be about Dave telling Cat all his problems in tasteful soliloquy fashion, just to get adolecent problems off his chest. I also thought Cat was going to die after I discovered that the author's cat had passed away a year before the publication date. Well, Dave doesn't tell Cat about his problems, and a little kitten gets killed instead of Dave's cat.

I had fun reading this well-written, laid-back novel, and I'd recommend it to people of all ages. Even during the most dramatic of scenes, the book doesn't seem to shake its nice, calm mood.

I can understand why it has a newbery award.......2006-12-10

It was marvelous, spectacular, genius, excellent, ete. One of my favorite books Ive ever read. I can connect to the book a lot because I used to live in New York and the setting is in New York, I knew almost all the streets this book was talking about. This book is very good with explaining things and putting it in details, If I could I would read it again.
