Career Counseling.......2005-09-20

I am very happy with my Career Counseling purchase. The book was a hard find and I paid less than the other members in my graduate cohort!

Do not buy this book!.......2005-08-29

If at all avoidable, DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS TEXTBOOK!!!!!
I am a graduate student just beginning a new semester. I have read the first four chapters of this book and am frustrated and angry. It is so poorly written that I am having to read and re-read the text (only to discover that most of what is contained therein is just the repeated fluff of a few simple points made ad infinitum). There is very little useful information. Were I a professor grading this text as a paper, I would give it a "D" and recommend Zunker spend some serious time in the "writing lab". I cannot believe I paid $90 for this book.

A full exposure of the topic - from History to Application.......2003-10-02

I read all the other reviews, I get a feeling they are all from students. As a practicing professional in this field for the past 20 years, I can say that as Boles'"What Color is your Parachute" is the bible for Job Seekers, Zunker's "Career Counseling: Applied concepts of Life Planning" is the bible for the Career Counselor. I find Zunker's information well exposed for easy comprehension. His writing style is simple and straight-forward. I believe the book is well structured for its purpose and didn't get a 5 star rating because It should be more economical in pricing.

Vague and inconclusive.......2000-10-23

While there is an immensely broad array of career counseling topics covered in this book, it is extremely poorly written and is of little use. The author fails to define the key terms, and only vaguely discusses the key concepts. For example, Zunker fails to effectively explain Donald Super's career maturity factors e.g., Zunker full definition of Super's crystallization of traits is, "individual progress toward forming a self concept." In addition, Zunker writes in an extremely passive, wordy, vague style more tailored to impress academics than to be relevant for students.

Can I get my money back?.......2000-04-23

Like the other review this is a book I used for a graduate class in ed counseling. I needed safety pins to keep my eyes open. This book is too broad and covers too much. If I ever wanted to go into career counseling I wont now cause its toooooooo boring after this book.

Book Description

When the stream of plasma emitted from the Sun (the solar wind) encounters Earth's magnetic field, it slows down and flows around it, leaving behind a cavity, the magnetosphere. The magnetopause is the surface that separates the solar wind on the outside from the Earth's magnetic field on the inside. Because the solar wind moves at supersonic speed, a bow shock must form ahead of the magnetopause that acts to slow the solar wind to subsonic speeds. Magnetopause, bow shock and their environs are rich in exciting processes in collisionless plasmas, such as shock formation, magnetic reconnection, particle acceleration and wave-particle interactions. They are interesting in their own right, as part of Earth's environment, but also because they are prototypes of similar structures and phenomena that are ubiquitous in the universe, having the unique advantage that they are accessible to in situ measurements. The boundaries of the magnetosphere have been the target of direct in-situ measurements since the beginning of the space age. But because they are constantly moving, changing their orientation, and undergoing evolution, the interpretation of single-spacecraft measurements has been plagued by the fundamental inability of a single observer to unambiguously distinguish spatial from temporal changes. The boundaries are thus a prime target for the study by a closely spaced fleet of spacecraft. Thus the Cluster mission, with its four spacecraft in a three-dimensional configuration at variable separation distances, represents a giant step forward. This 20th volume of the ISSI Space Science Series represents the first synthesis of the exciting new results obtained in the first few years of the Cluster mission.

Book Description

The first volume of Cosmos, his five-volume survey of the universe, appeared in 1845, though Humboldt had labored on the entire work for nearly half a century. He scrupulously sent sections of the work to other experts for suggestions and corrections. The last volume, put together from his notes after his death, appeared in 1861. The volumes were translated almost as rapidly as they appeared. This paperback edition reprints the Harper & Brothers edition, published in New York in 1858-59.

Customer Reviews:

really helpful.......2007-09-06

I just started this last night, I have road ridden on a mountain bike for years, on a bike that has been refit for me several times, this book is very helpful, I would like to ride more and this will help me try some different bikes. My local bike store is full of nice people,but since I am not a serious rider,and am a short heavy woman, they have little time to help me. this book fill that need.

Bike Book Review.......2007-06-08

Provided the information I needed to get started in Bicycling. It is well written and easy to understand.

Very informative........2007-04-19

This book is a fantastic reference for the cycling enthusiast. It quite thoroughly covers absolutely everything you can think of when it comes to cycling. I highly recommend it.

Great book on the subject.......2007-03-08

Spiffy looking and full of good information. Don't tour without taking a look at this first!

A disapointing bike travel book.......2006-02-25

I had pretty high expectation of this book. Unfortnately I was disapointed. With the exception of the chapter dealing with how to navigate through towns and cities there was nothing that hasn't been written about a thousand times before. Along with the fact that everything was written as though you've never seen a bicycle before. What's up with that!?! It's not totally with out merit if you've never done any distance bicycling. But there are certainly better books out there that cover the same material and in a much more entertaining fashion. I suggest you look else where for your bike touring information.

Or so they think.
