Good Mathematics Book
This book makes this branch of Mathematics fun. It reads well too. I understand many of the concepts because the presentation is well constructed. Good reading.

A good book
I like this book and use it for teaching my students. As a teacher, you have the opportunity to select similar problems for class activity and homework assignment. Also, you can find not only simple and middle-level problems but also high-level problems to provide a good source for active students. Unfortunately, the author uses the letters "F" and "T" in the truth tables instead of much easier and perspective "0" and "1", which correspond to the real needs, e.g., in computer science. That's the most essential lack, which I've found by this time.

This book is interesting
I like the exclamations and the concepts/problem solving this book teaches.Maybe I am being swayed by the subject because I enjoy it, however, in comparison to other math books, this one livens it up and is a higher then the average mathematics book. ... Read more

Comprehensive book for General Topology
This is the text that my first graduate level topology class is using.Over all I find it very well written.The author uses good examples for motivation and explaination of the topics he covers.The exercises are also well thought out and instructive.They're challenging enough to make you really learn the material, but not so hard as to sway the only average mathematician from the subject.I highly recommend this book, even if it's not for your class.It'll be a welcome reference book to add to your math text collection!

Good standard introduction to topology, useful book for textbook, self-study, or reference
This book is pretty much a standard.It has a number of strong points.It is self-contained relative to students even at a fairly elementary level.There are a lot of exercises, and they are appropriate.And, the book is very comprehensive and thorough, covering a lot of material and covering it in good depth.Most of the material is exceptionally easy to read.
very clear introduction
This book is well organised, and the proofs are easy to follow.If you are looking for a solid introduction to topology, then this is the place to start! ... Read more

Wail E Salam (very well managed and explain textbook)
I found what Iwant with this book, it helps me a lot either after the school, it is highly recommended but one thing considered a shortage to it that I can not find the teatcher solution manual, anyone who can help me in this please write me back at e-mail wailsayed@yahoo.ca

Superb!
I used this book for two years during my Polytechnic days. The explanations are very clear. Examples also demonstrated the concepts in a manner which is very detailed (i.e. no skipping of steps).

Vital for our survival
After 20 years of researching a variety of potentially transformative subjects and theories, I believe this is the most hopeful and significant material I've yet encountered.I'm especially excited about what this could mean for society.
A cornerstone of mind/body understanding
Bruce Lipton's book sheds a great deal of light on the underlying mechanisms of the mind/body interface.He draws from his background as a cellular biologist, and the research of others, to present an accessible and fascinating description of the response of cells (and life) to the emotional environment.... The writing is clear and enjoyable.... An inspiring book.....
Perfect for those stuck in the old one-gene-one-protein paradigm
I have studied Biology in the 70s and kept current (although I work in different fields mainly). I was very happy to have the latest infos on gene expression and gene importance outside the nucleus spelled out for me.

Notfor Dummies
Now if I were a dummy, and in many ways I am, I would be furious with this book.It doesn't mention until page 4 that the author assumes you've already had a year of algebra.What if I hadn't?What if I was picking up this book because I wanted to learn algebra from scratch?Most anyone would naturally assume that's what this book is for.But right away you'd be lost.Even the "fun facts" would make me heave this thing out the window.Info about "three-term quadratic equations" is a fun fact?Not if you're a compleat dummy and you haven't the foggiest what this woman is talking about.The 2 stars are generous.It's not too bad for an overview of something you already know and merely want to to remember.Thank my stars I do know algebra, but damn...dummies beware.

What????
This book is not for beginners. It assumes you've had at least a year of algebra education.

A Good Rescue Story, BUT....
I couldn't help but come to two entirely and separate conclusions in reading this book:
Don't let the cover fool you, this is a Clancy-esque non-fiction story that's not just about Special OPS!
Don't be dissuaded by reviewers who haven't read this book!
this is propaganda and lies
If this man took a the time to know the history of U.S. involvment in Panama he would know that it was the U.S. that put Noriega in power in the first place.it was also the U.S. that killed the previouse leader of Panama,Omar TorriJos.Who apposed U.S. control of his county.

BUYERS BE AWARE 8th Edition Published
Fall 2004 & Spring 2005 Students: the 8th edition of this book is published and comes with a CD, and, in some cases, a free world atlas. Check with your instructor for requirements. In any case, I wouldn't spend $100 for the 7th edition.
Very well-written and illustrated text with great photos
Obviously written by authors who have a deep appreciation for this subject and a desire to pass on their knowledge, this text is useful not just for students of physical geography, but for anyone wanting a deeper understanding of geopolitics, area studies, anthropology, world history, etc. For example, I would have no clue about the culture, history and politics of Central Asia/Afghanistan and vicinity (my area of interest) without having a comprehensive understanding of the physical terrain and climate of this region--and how its inhabitants have adapted to it. I would not have gained this understanding without reading this text. still on my bookshelf
I remember this book from when I was an undergraduate, lo these many years ago (OK, so it was an earlier edition)! I'm glad to see it is still available and updated -- I enjoyed it then and I am using it now in answering the questions my children throw at me. Read more

missing alot of detail....
Wow, I am really suprised this book garnered as much positive feedback as it has. I am a nursing major, and I was apalled at the lack of detail in this book. I ended up using the A&P text from my 201 class for the majority of this class. Maybe it was the questions my instructor asked, but I constanatly had to go to other sources in order to find the information I needed. If anyone finds themself in this situation, Ken Saladin's text by the same name is the best!!!

Best A&P book for nursing majors
This is a required reading text for anatomy and physiology I and II at the college I attend, and I have nothing but praise for the author and illustrators of this book.It is as comprehensive as A&P can get, and as difficult as the material is to learn, it is broken down into systems so that it is not too overwhelming.
Wow!
I bought the book the first time because I had to.I bought it the second time because I wanted to.

Not good when compare to Chang's Chemistry book
This book made me confuse. Not clearly written.
Clearly written, richly illustrated, and well organized text for a one year general chemistry course (or self study)
This is an interesting text for a one year general chemistry course.While all general chemistry texts form major publishers have some convergence so they all cover similar basic material, they all have different organizing ideas.What I enjoyed about this text is that it has a clear organizing principle: the periodic table of elements.
it s not the best and certainly not even good. just bit below average
I have read 2 other chem book and found this book is my least favorite.

A must read!
I first read A Short History while on business in Australia. I couldn't put it down. The writing is outstanding and the information is communicated in language that anyone can understand. I have been re-reading A Short History with my kids, and they love it. This is a book for all ages.

The Layman's Scientific Reference Text
This review is for the Black Swan Paperback edition published in 2004, 574 pages of text plus comprehensive notes, bibliography and index.A SHORT HISTORY was on the USA Today top 150 best sellers list for 63 weeks between May 2003 and August 2005, reaching the peak position of number 31.
Amazingly witty and informative.

awesome
The book is really concise and packed with very useful illustrations.I would recommend this book to anyone- beginner or advanced.

$25 Cheaper Than The College Book Store...
I had to have this book for some college classes I am taking. I first bought my copy at the College Book Store but ended up taking it back after I found it on Amazon for about $25-$30 cheaper after shipping and tax!

HVAC in Laymans terms!
This book is excellent! I knew NOTHING about this industry until I decided to take a class. This book lays it all out in such a way that technical issues have been easy to understand.

Review of Book that i bought.
Partial Differential Equations (Graduate Studies in Mathematics, V. 19) GSM/19 (Graduate Studies in Mathematics)
The best book for an introduction to PDE's for a graduated student
If you're looking for a book to learn PDE's at a basic level, please don't buy this book. In the other hand, if you have already worked on this subject it's not surprising why the book doesn't include some topics or techniques. The appendix is for remembering basic facts while you are reading, so if you don't acknowledge this subjects, you have to study them before (you can't ask a book to have an appendix that covers all the related theories you need).There are several books which cover very well the classical theory and the linear cases in the weak sense. As one of the reviews says, this is an excellent book for a GRADUATED COURSE so it is assumed you have a basic background on the subject and you know what you should know about other subjects such as analysis. The book has the basic tools forTHE NON-LINEAR CASES which can't be seen in a basic course. If you don't believe me, try to find a book which cover the same content in such an easy way.

This book opened a new world for me
After several bad lectures I had already almost given up on PDE. But when I got this book into my hands, I was immediately drawn into the subject and couldn't put it down until I finished it completely. After less than a month I felt how a new world had opened up to me, and I can since feel its effect when I go to lectures.

Very Vague
This book is definetly for the student. If you are an experienced contractor looking to broaden your knowledge, keep shopping.

Excellent Self-StudyFor Young Engineers & Electricians
This book was perhaps intended first for vocational school students who will become electricians, but our small professional engineering firm has used it for more than a decade as a self-study professional development course for young mechanical and electrical engineers with design responsibilities for building HVAC systems. We just bought five copies of this latest edition.
