Very Scientific & Yet Down to Earth.......2004-08-02
About a year ago I bought this book & I can honestly say it's one of my most used books. It's very scientific & yet you don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure out what it is saying. The first part of the book deals with different disorders such as ADHD, Diabetes, Hepatitis, Arthritis, & much more. Under the different disorders it gives different examples of what people have tried to treat them with. Then it proceeds to different scientific tests that either proves or disproves the treatment.
The second part of the book deals with herbs & their therapeutic uses. Again here different uses & tests are provided for each herb. This book also discussed dosage recommendations, safety issues, drug interactions, & great references to other material. Overall this is a very useful book. The copy that I purchased contains over 1,000 pages & it covers everything from migraine headaches to the various vitamins. I recommend this book not only to the med student but to the average person just wanting useful & real information about herbs and their therapeutic uses.
Book Description
A growing number of contemporary organizations have management structures that are less centralized and hierarchical than the traditional bureaucratic model. This book takes a close look inside one such organization: an employee-owned manufacturing corporation. It addresses the question of how conflicts are handled when bureaucracy is greatly reduced--and its findings will surprise and enlighten many readers. Therapy, a behavior or practice normally thought to be confined to the offices of psychiatrists and the wards of mental hospitals, turns out to be the most common way of handling conflict in the postbureaucratic work environment. James Tucker reveals that this therapeutic system of social control contrasts sharply, and tellingly, with the more authoritative--often violent--systems of social control found in more centralized and hierarchical work settings, especially those of the past.

Book Description
Tennessee has numerous parks, from the mighty Mississippi River to the Great Smoky Mountains, that were designed so that every Tennessean would be just an hour's drive from a park at any point in the state. Tennessee Wonders: A Pictorial Guide to the Parks is a representative sampling of seventeen of the state's scenic natural areas. The book reveals each park's wildlife, topography, plant life, recreational facilities, and seasonal features. Both visitors and residents will enjoy Tennessee Wonders for the valuable information it provides on popular parks such as Land Between the Lakes, the Natchez Trace State Park and Forest, and the South Cumberland Recreational Area.
The author of Tennessee Wonders, Mike Carlton, is a fourteen-year veteran of the Tennessee State Park System and an authority on all of the state's parks. He serves as a "tour guide," revealing unusual details about the parks as well as information on peak color times, indigenous wildlife, and camping and hiking sites. Tennessee Wonders also includes full-color photography by award-winning nature photographer John Netherton, which shows the stunning splendor of Tennessee's natural wonders: A waterfall at Fall Creek Falls, a close-up of a bald eagle against a cobalt blue sky, wild fern growing in the Great Smoky Mountains. From the mountains, gorges, and waterfalls of East and Middle Tennessee to the thriving wildlife found near the rivers and lakes of West Tennessee, Tennessee Wonders shows the breathtaking natural beauty of the Volunteer State in all its glory.
Book Description
Two of fly-fishing's most well respected writers collaborate once again, this time discussing emergers. Emergence is itself a behavior, and it puts the tier in a challenging and rather unusual position¾not that of imitating a fixed and recognizable form of the insect, but rather of representing a process. This book shows you how, including: emerger design and materials, basic tying techniques, many specialized tying techniques, fly patterns, and more. When you invest in a book by these two authors you know what you will get¾up-to-the-minute information, well-written text, and superb photography, Tying Emergers will not let you down.

Tying Emergers.......2007-03-08
This book starts with a graphic table of contents that I think is so sensible that I wish that all tying books were the same, though I suspect that it could drive up costs. There are photos of each pattern along with a graphic representing the insect type (mayfly, caddis, stonefly, midge), and the patterns are arranged according to tying style, e.g. Tuft Emergers, Parachute Emergers etc. This makes it very easy to look up different patterns, especially because individual pattern names may be all but meaningless; a "Perky" doesn't mean anything more to me than an "MP43" unless I can see them.
There are three text chapters following the introduction. The first, on emerger design and materials, is very interesting, and provided me with some information that I did not previously have.
The next, on basic tying techniques, is probably unneccessary for many tyers who already possess the requisite skills for tying most of the patterns in the book, but I suspect that the publisher insists that a chapter like this be included in case a beginner picks it up as his or her first tying book. I would not recommend this book for a beginner, even though many of the patterns are fairly easy to tie. On the other hand, the intermediate tyer (and I put myself in that category) might find the chapter useful at times as a reminder for certain techniques.
The third text chapter, which is about trailing shucks and bubble sheaths, is particularly useful and informative. It provides techniques that tyers like myself may not have mastered or even have been exposed to. I wouldn't be surprised if advanced tyers might find this information useful as well.
The rest of the book is devoted to the individual patterns. Each chapter begins with a brief discussion of the individual pattern style, followed by tying instructions for each individual pattern. As always, Schollmeyer and Leeson's photographs and instructions are clear and well presented. I particularly like that the finished pattern has a green background whereas the photos of the tying steps have blue backgrounds. This is a nice organizational touch.
It is possible that the authors have overlooked some patterns or techniques, but this book provides more than enough information to keep most of us busy for a long time. In fact, my only criticism, and it really isn't one, is that there are so many patterns and techniques that I want to try that I sometimes don't know where to begin.
Though it is not really a good book on basics for the beginner, Tying Emergers is a worthy addition to any tyer's library.
Great book.......2006-03-13
I definatly was suprised to see how good a book this was. 344 pages. THe first 72 pages show you step by step with instruction and color pictures on how to do's. These include all the proceedures required to tie any and all flies on the remaning 272 pages. All patters have at least 1 page entirely dedicated to the pattern. Each pattern a has step by step instructions and photos.... If your interested in emergers and how to tie them... this is the book I recommend.

Great Book for Your Collection.......2006-02-19
Book is great and is a very good addition to my library. Very disappointed that the advertisement said the book was autographed, and when it was received, there was no autograph. Amazon needs to check their stock against their advertisements.
Catchy title.......2006-01-24
Emergers are great because they are easy to tie; fish like dry flies; catch fish like subsurface flies; take advantage of all the glitzy new materials; and are cheap to tie.
The Dynamic Duo have another wonderfully well produced fly tyer's pattern book here. The fly selection is broad and tips it's hat at some big names, while covering a lot of great patterns. This is not a how to fish emergers or a field guides. It's about the flies, and will mostly interest tyers.
My only complaint as with other books by the dynamic duo is that whoever ties the flies is not a particularly talented tyer. Cross-reference flies tied by, say, Best or Stalcup with the same patterns here, and the ones in Emergers look like badly rolled cigarettes. This is too bad because it leaves a lot of beauty out of the book that should have been here. Some of the patterns covered here look quite alike, but that would not be so if the authors had tied them properly. Also, many new tyer may push through this book tying new pattern in order to build their skills, and will learn many careless habits from these badly tied flies. It does not take a particularly talented tyer to accurately copy the style of a master, and more care should have been taken in providing the flies tied here. In some cases the versions shown here may not be as effective as the originals, or they may work just as well. But the book does not work quite as well without well tied flies.
The strength of the overall book still deserves 5 stars.
Great reference for all skill levels.......2004-08-03
This is truly a well made and comprehensive bench side reference for the ambitious fly tier. The first chapter covers in detail different tying techniques that are used for the patterns that follow. The individual patterns themselves are documented in detail with step by step fotos. Therefore, even the novice will be able to tie all patterns that are in this book.
For the pro the book offers a lot of interesting variations on the topic of tying emergers. I can't wait to get my new patterns on the water.

User friendly for travelers.......2006-07-27
If you want to learn Spanish for travel to Spain, this is a very useful product. Contrary to the previous review, the English speaking woman has a standard midwestern American speaking voice and the Spanish speaking man is easy to understand. They cover phrases useful for the traveler, but you do need to use it with the book, which covers all kinds of modern day phrases for many situations, including some elementary grammar so you can personalize your sentences. Especially useful are sections covering different Spanish dialects including Basque and Galacian. Even if you don't attempt to actually speak these dialects, having a reference to road & other signs will be useful if you travel in these areas. The book is very compact and easily fits in a pocket or purse.
Mediocre. There are better CD + phrase book packs out there........2005-04-04
First I should say I went overboard and bought 5 (yes FIVE!) different spanish audio CD kits... (please read all my reviews)
I did this because:
1) They are cheap enough to,
2) I thought if I got bored of one I could listen to a different CD from another kit, rather than listening to the same CD 5 times over, and
3) Hardly any reviews have been written and you just don't know what you're buying (meaning: I couldn't decide, so I bought them all!).
____________________________________
This pack includes a 60 minute audio CD and phrase book... I am just beginning to learn spanish & I think you need to hear the spoken language before you can really begin to learn it. It's best if you can repeat the words to yourself. While that is okay, I think the CD isn't as good as the ones in other sets. There is a damn lot of spanish learning audio material out there which this set has to compete with...
Now on to the info about this set...
The 60 minute CD has virtually no intros or explanations, it seems to adhere strictly to repetition of english & spanish words & phrases.
The english speaking host is a female, with a somewhat annoying American accent. The spanish voice is provided by a male. I can't say I enjoy listening to his accent either.
In each case, the word or phrase is 1st said in english by the American woman, then it is repeated twice by the spanish guy.
The recordings + words are clear enough, but the bottom line is the whole CD is pretty BORING. It lacks the enthusiasm of the Collins or DK audio CDs....
This is not a good start to learning a new language. I've never really been a big fan of Lonely Planet stuff. What is all the fuss about, I wonder?
At least the phrase book is okay... but I'm sure there a plenty of separate reviews for that.
__________________________________________
I can tell that not all CD + phrase book packs are created equal.... For a single CD + phrase book I'd recommend either the Collins Gem spanish phrase book + Audio CD kit or the Dorling Kindersley (DK) Eyewitness Travel guide phrase book + audio CD travel pack. They are both cheaper too!
V HOPE THIS WAS HELPFUL TO YOU!

Ice princess meets spoiled brat........1997-06-16
Two troubled teens are thrown together in a "doubles" tennis tournament in Australia. Right from the moment their paths cross, it is hate. They can't spend a minute together without losing their tempers. Can they leave their defenses down long enough to become friends (or more)?
Cute story about ambition and young love in the competitive world of tennis
