Small but Mighty.......2006-07-10
This little book provides a simple assessment an affordable take away and practical suggestions of activities for improvement. I teach adults and this has been an invaluable tool on the topic of EQ. Certainly other resources and information must be utilized, but it is an amazing concentrated source of information.

Book Description
What picture of farm life is complete without the woman at its heart? Rising before dawn to start the fire, sitting up long after dark to do her mending, she holds farm and family together. In moving photographs and prose, this book celebrates the life of the farm wife, with its hours of hard work and moments of ineffable sweetness. Pictured at tasks such as feeding chickens or on the tractor; caught in a rare stillness against the endless horizon or in a moment of well-deserved rest: Here is the farm wife as she is and was and will be, at the heart of the American farm, and of the American story.

Book Description
DeFelice presents this intricate subject in an easy-to-follow, stepwise fashion: he reviews the fundamentals of electricity; transfers those principles to a biological context; and expands the discussion to encompass the subject's practical dimensions. Clear definitions and intuitive descriptions characterize the presentation, which is complemented by over 150 drawings and graphs. Mathematics is kept to the minimum necessary. The text covers both excitable and non-excitable membranes and includes the plasma membrane as well as intracellular membranes.
A unique, `electronics-made-simple' appendix, designed specifically for biologists, treats the operational amplifiers used in patch clamp, and other appendices offer solutions to equations and examples that illustrate principles.

If the captivating smile of a young Hemingway crouched over a lion isn't enough to pull you inside the covers of The Greatest Hunting Stories Ever Told, the remarkable prose you'll find throughout its pages will. Its target is serious writing, and it bags some powerful literary prey. Lamar Underwood, long an editor at Sports Afield and Outdoors, has assembled a stellar collection from the pens of Hemingway (naturally), Faulkner, Turgenev, Thomas McGuane, Vance Bourjaily, Patrick O'Brian, Robert Ruark, and Teddy Roosevelt, all of whose prose hunts for big answers as well as big game.
While clearly addressed to the fraternity of hunters, the essays and stories in this collection transcend the boundaries of the field. McGuane, writing passionately about how the hunt for food defines who we are in "The Heart of the Game," observes, as Sitting Bull did before him, "when the buffalo are gone, we will hunt mice, for we are hunters and we want our freedom." Hemingway, in "Remembering Shooting-Flying," an Esquire column from 1935, keeps world affairs in perspective when he wonders "how the snipe fly in Russia now and whether shooting pheasants is counter-revolutionary." "The Forest and the Steppe" is one of Turgenev's evocative "Hunter's Sketches"; evocative also defines "Mister Howard Was a Real Gent," one of Ruark's marvelous "Old Man and the Boy" contributions to Field & Stream.
Given the overall subject, there is plenty of sporting drama throughout, but also plenty of thoughtful reflection, and absolutely magnificent storytelling, which is as it should be. When you set your sights on the greatest, your aim needs to be true. --Jeff Silverman
Book Description
"I don't regard nature as a spectator sport." -Ed Zern, 1985
Hunting is a serious business-but it's also about camaraderie, achievements and failures, seeing new places, and revisiting cherished ones. The true stories here feature a variety of game, in locations that range from high Yukon Territory mountain peaks to lowland swamps off of Mobile Bay, Alabama.
This is an indispensable volume for all lovers and students of the natural world. If your definition of home includes fields and marshes, creeks and river bottoms, plains and mountains, consider this required reading.

The Greatest Hunting Stories Ever Told: Twenty-Nine Unforgettable Tales.......2005-12-17
The Greatest hunting stories is a book with 29 of the greatest hunting stories. One of the stories I like the best is Black Death. This Story is about a cape buffalo that kills a man so an officer must go find the buffalo and kill it before it kills some one else. To find out the thrilling ending read the book. Another story is Good Morning. This story is about a young kid that shoots his first buck. "This is a exciting and thrilling book. It would be good for any hunter at any age." -A teenager from Mid-Prairie High School.
Hunting Tales.......2000-12-12
This is a great book for anyone who enjoys short stories, especially hunting tales. It contains a wide range of content from big game hunting to bird hunting. It also contains a wide range of authors from the classics like Hemingway, Faulkner and Teddy Roosevelt to modern jounalists. This book would make a great gift for a hunting or fishing friend or relative

Incorrect pronunciation.......2007-09-09
*You would have to encode the page to "Korean", or you will not see the Korean character examples below.*
My husband (Chinese-American) recently purchased this book on the basis of all of the glowing reviews and I have to say I was shocked to discover the errors on the pronunciation of a few of the Korean consonants and vowels. I have not gone through the rest of book yet with my husband but after seeing the error in the pronunciation guide in lesson 3 of the book, I felt compelled to write a review, especially since the rest of the book is based on these basic sounds. As a native Korean speaker, I would like to clarify these errors.
The most difficult consonant sounds in the Korean language for a non-Korean speaker to distinguish are "b" and "p" sounds and "g"(the hard kind, as in "gun") and "k", and "j" and "ch" sounds. For example in the book, they explain the "¤²" is to pronounce is as "p as in park, but relaxed." This is incorrect. It's actually a "b" sound as an "bunk", therefore a more relaxed "b", but definitely NOT a "p". Instead of describing sounds of "b", "j" and "g" the book incorrectly uses variations of "p", "ch", and "k" to describe these sounds.
When a learner hears let say the "b" in "banchan" spoken fast by a Korean speaker within a sentence, the person might indeed hear "panchan", with some kind of a "p". But I would like to stress that this would be an incorrect way of learning. For a native speaker, there's a definite difference between those two sounds.
Another error I would like to note is the pronunciations for "¤Ä" and "¤À". In the book those two vowels are described as "a as in bat" and "e as in bet". The fact is, there really isn't a difference; it is always the "e as in bet". If you pronounce "¤Ä" as "a as in bat", it would make you sound less like a native. I can sadly imagine someone who has completed this book pronouncing "yes" in Korean incorrectly as "nah" when the correct pronunciation would be "neh".
To sum up this review, here's an excerpt I found:
"The more difficult aspect for the beginner is the difference in sound values of b and p sounds, j and ch,and t and d. This is compounded by the widely diverging romanization systems used for Korean: Lukoff, Yale, Horne, and McCune-Reischauer. This confusion can be easily avoided however if you learn the Korean script, Hangul, as soon as possible, and skip the middle step of romanization completely. This is strongly advised, because it will save valuable time, lessen your confusion, and greatly enhance the speed with which you learn Korean. It will also help you to avoid spelling mistakes (there are two T's, two P's, etc.in the script) when you start to write Korean Hangul script."
Most readers of this book will probably not have a native Korean speaker to point out these errors so I just wanted you to be aware. The grammar and dialogues in this book seems fine, but it is important for Korean learners to learn how to pronounce the Korean alphabet correctly and then tackle the rest of the grammar in this book.
good but..........2007-07-25
This textbook has been an excellent (if slightly intimidating!) tool for me - an independent learner.
Of particular interest are the exercises at the end of each chapter. BUT a word of caution, I've noticed that some of the answers for Chapter 6's exercises (especially the translation ones) don't actually match the questions!
Just a word of caution. I don't know if the rest of the chapters are similar.
Very usefull and serious book.......2007-07-15
I'm a music student and there's a lot of Koreans at my school. So I wanted to get a book that would help me communicate with them. I perused the book and it looks very well-constructed and serious.
I've got very little free time, so I've only studied the first few chapters. This has already helped me A LOT! I can have little standard conversations and I'm able to quickly learn new words by listening to Koreans talk, because the language makes more sense to me now.
Good book, but lacking.......2007-04-30
I bought this book after reading the positive reviews here. I haven't ever used any other Korean books, so I cannot compare. The book does explain grammar and pronunciation in a clear manner. However, compared to other language self-study books, it is lacking in "feeling" - every lesson is a short dialogue followed with a long vocabulary list, grammar explanations, and exercises. I would have preferred it if the authors included some bits about Korean culture, history, etc. or at least some simple supplemental reading material in Korean. I feel the dialogues are far too short, and only use about 30% of the vocabulary you are expected to learn. It's very hard to learn vocabulary by memorizing long lists, and it would have helped to at least see it used in the dialogue or in example sentences(there are a few, but not nearly enough). If used in a class, this would be an excellent textbook, but for self-study it's a bit dry.
Great review.......2007-03-28
This is a great self study, I can refer to this book anytime and be focused and ready to learn...In other books, they were too difficult to follow.

A one-of-a-kind.......2005-09-04
This two-volume series is the only material specifically devoted to listening comprehension of Korean. It provides excellent self-study practice for the beginning learner.
Customer Reviews:
Excellent for improving listening skills.......1998-04-15
The Listening Comprehension of Korean Books One and Two, now called Active Listening in Korean, are excellent, one-of-a-kind materials that focus exclusively on providing listening practice. Necessary vocabulary and grammar are presented before each listening task (good for pronunciation practice) and answers are provided in the back of the book. If only the authors Cho and Cho would produce similar materials for intermediate and advanced Korean learners!
