            5 out of 5 stars English translation of wacky French comic genius.......2006-01-28

            Claire Bretecher is a brilliant comic book artist with a wacky, off-color sense of humor. I don't know how this English translation holds up to the French original or whether it works as a paperback. I've only read the hard-back version. But if you don't speak French, this is your best chance at reading some of Bretecher's funniest work yet! Ostensibly writing about pregnancy -- which she jokes about with wickedly accurate precision -- she also lampoons political correctness, feminism, slackers, pretentiousness and much, much more. Be forewarned: lots of ribald jokes, naughty language & squiggly (usually) unflattering drawings of naked bodies. But really, it's just good, silly, off-color fun. Guaranteed to have you in stitches. I always give this as a gift to ALL my pregnant friends! But it's also funny for non-pregnant people too...

                    5 out of 5 stars A WONDERFUL TOOLKIT CHANGED THE PAINFUL PROCESS OF WRITING REFFERENCE LETTERS INTO A BREEZE.......2006-03-05

                    I love this book! I'm a TA and was asked by a former student for a reference letter. I usually regard this as a time-consuming and painful procedure, though I personally really want to help them with their academic pursuits.

                    I happened to find this Instant Recommendation Letter Kit book online. After reading the review, I ordered it without hesitation - and I'm glad I did! The book includes very detailed tips and guidelines on writing recommendation letters. The meaty part of the book is comprised of real-life examples of letters organized into different categories, like employment-related, college-related, character-related, evaluation letters, general reference letters, and college admission essays. These cover just about all of the reference letters you'll ever need to deal with.

                    Another great feature is the free templates file that you can request by e-mail in MS-Word format. These templates themselves are worth the price of the Kit! It will save you huge amounts of time while helping you write a great reference letter. It really works for me. I highly recommend it!

                    5 out of 5 stars AMAZING RESOURCE FOR WRITING RECOMMENDATION LETTERS.......2005-03-17

                    This is a great book - a terrific resource to help you navigate the process of writing any recommendation letter.
                    Instant Recommendation Letter Kit provides all the necessary guidance to help you produce memorable, striking, and effective recommendation letters.
                    Shaun Fawcett gives you a helpful, well-organized guide, with copies of actual letters and practical tips. A good source for anyone who needs to write a recommendation letter of any kind.
                    It is highly recommended.

                    5 out of 5 stars Your Letters Will Write Themselves.......2003-03-23


                    If you're familiar with any of Shaun Fawcett's "Instant Writing Kit" eBooks, (like his wonderful "Instant Business Letter Writing Kit"), you already know that they get right to the point and include zero filler.

                    This one is no exception: open the "book" and you are immediately reading clear, concise guidelines on writing professional quality recommendation letters, backed up by a wealth of Fawcett's famous "Real Life Templates" that practically make the letters write themselves.

                    Fawcett includes a wonderful section on both the structure of a letter that "gets the job done," and the ethical guides to follow when both requesting a recommendation letter, or responding to a request yourself. (He even tells you how to ethically and cordially turn down a request).

                    As usual, Fawcett's "Real Life Templates" include a collection of solid, impressively composed letters written by an obvious master of professional writing. You will find what you need here!

                    Among the templates included are: recommendations for employment, college admission, general reference letters, character references, corporate and educational letters, civic commendations, job performance and more. Writing letters almost weekly for my small business consulting firm, ..., I can tell you that Fawcett's templates really work.

                    These templates, combined with the superb foundational guidelines Mr. Fawcett provides, will have you producing your own letters within the first hour that you open the book, saving you hours of struggling over notes, rewrites and revisions.

                    The eBook closes with a highly detailed chapter on writing college admission essays, including 5 example essays and over 60 URLs (weblinks) where you can find further info. An absolute must for anyone who is either preparing to attend university, or helping a loved one to pack their bags.

                    If you value your TIME, and need to write or request a recommendation letter, you absolutely owe it to yourself to purchase this eBook. It will pay for itself twice over with your first use. Rather than struggling for hours with revisions, your letters will literally write themselves.

                    5 out of 5 stars Get this book -- it's the very best!.......2003-03-07

                    This book is the best! I received actual electronic recommendation letters from the book, selected the paragraphs that I needed, and I gave them to my manager -- because she was writing a recommendation letter. She said the paragraphs were "really, really helpful," and that's high praise. The letters in the book are truly outstanding -- you won't read anything nearly as good anywhere else. Also, they cover a lot
                    of different topics, including how well the employee presents, how diligent the employee is, and so forth. This book will pay for itself many times over -- because it'll help you or someone you know get a great new job. I highly recommend it.

                        2 out of 5 stars Buy it only if you can't get something better........2004-03-02

                        Despite the English subtitle, and the description as a 2 volume set, this is a single volume, possibly abridged (the notes to the index refer to over 500 pages, but there are < 400), French only reprint in a cheap & shoddy binding. No English summary or notes.
                        My copy arrived with the spine partly ripped off, even though correctly packed & there was no damage to the packing - I'm unable to tell whether it was shipped to Amazon like this. The binding is similar to, but poorer than, cheap 'text book' hardcover binding.

                        Get a Dover edition if available.

                          Book Description

                          This volume examines Muslim societies across Europe, North Africa, Central Asia and South Asia from the 18th Century to the present, providing fresh insight through comparison. The contributors examine the characteristics of peaceful symbiotic relationships with other peoples as well as a series of conflicts, such as ethnic strife and interregional conflicts, between Muslims and non-muslims.

                          Movements and populations covered in this work include the 19th century North African Sansusi movement and its relationship with the Sufs and Arabs of the region, Soviet and Chinese Central Asia, Muslim-Hindu relationships in South-Asia, Muslims in Syria and Muslim immigrants in Europe.

                          With its wide historical and geographical breadth, this book seeks to develop Western understandings of the Muslim world and to appreciate contemporary Muslim issues through their historical origins. It will appeal to students of Islam, the Middle East and Asian Studies.

                          Book Description

                          Thailand is the mecca of birding in Southeast Asia. It's convenient to get to and get around, and its birdlife is wondrously diverse, exotic, and plentiful. With Birds of Thailand, Craig Robson and fourteen leading illustrators give us the most up-to-date, comprehensive, and concise field guide to this magnificent country's rich avifaunal heritage in recent years, covering the more than 950 species recorded as of early in the new millennium.

                          Facing each of the 128 striking, full-color plates are species accounts accompanied by maps for each, illustrating precise distribution within Thailand. The accurate text covers identification, voice, habitat, behavior, range, status, and breeding for all species and subspecies. Illustrations and entries on a number of species recorded only quite recently are also included.

                          The country's varied habitats assure something for every birder, from freshwater marshes to coastal areas, from fields and rice paddies to lush jungles and mangrove forests. In Thailand, one can delight in the brilliantly colored pittas, broadbills, and sunbirds; the deep, dazzling green of barbets, parrots, parakeets, and leafbirds; the aptly named frogmouths; the roosterlike resplendence of the (male) red junglefowl; the ruff, whose breeding male in full plumage sports a truly singular head; and much, much more.

                          Birders and all ecologically minded travelers daydreaming of a voyage to this gem of a country will want the latest source of thorough information on its birdlife--in a highly portable, pithy, and vividly illustrated guide. What they will want is Craig Robson's Birds of Thailand.

                          5 out of 5 stars the Asian Paradise Flycatcher of bird books.......2006-09-03

                          BIRDS OF THAILAND is the reason the prestige university press and its zero-tolerance approach to schlock products exists. Princeton University Press has done itself proud with this condensed and focused version of author Robson's BIRDS OF SOUTHEAST ASIA.

                          If you're interested in the birds that inhabit a medium-sized country like Thailand, you don't have many choices in field guides and you may not have many friends. At least, friends who share your precise and tiny interest. For that reason, this review should be read as a referendum upon the PRINCETON FIELD GUIDES as much as on this individual volume.

                          A field guide's physical quality matters more than with other books since you're meant to carry the thing around. The PFG is quality construction through and through and just compact enough to make for convenient traveling.

                          The choice of a small font size in Garamond BookCondensed is a wise one, providing exceptional clarity and saving space for the beautiful and competent illustrations (drawn, not photographed).

                          Because the majority of birders are English speakers by first or second language, bird guides that cover species native to non-English speaking countries often read as though the people who live there (with the birds!) don't exist. This may be a pecadillo rather than a felony, since - after all - such a book is about *birds*, not people. Yet Robson's guide adds the nice touch of Thai indices and page headings, no doubt appreciated by the local colleagues who are necessary participants in a project of this high quality.

                          The Princeton Field Guides include volumes on mammals as well as birds, with a penchant for out-of-the-way locations. If your interest takes you there, any one of these Guides is a worthy investment you'll not regret.

                          3 out of 5 stars small means handy but limited.......2002-07-02

                          I took this book to Thailand in 1999 with the full knowledge that it does not contain all the birds that I would most likely encounter, but its handy size and weight did fit the bill.

                          Unfortunately, it seemed that half the birds I saw weren't in the book, but maybe that was just my luck. In addition, due to space constraints, geographical distribution descriptions were vague, so I was left wondering if the sunbird I saw was the one pictured or it was another similar one mentioned but not pictured nor fully described.

                          Instead, I relied on a fat book available from a publisher in Bangkok (written in English) that both my hotel hostess and my hired guide used in Chiang Mai.

                          All in all, this small guide is good if you have concerns about weight and space and don't mind not knowing what species of sunbird you're looking at. It's also good for getting a general idea of the variety of Thai bird species.
