Not a very good guide......................2003-06-05

My boyfriend and I recently went to San Diego equipped with just this one guide book and it wasn¡¦t enough. We had to use the maps provided by our hotel to figure out how to get to the places that we wanted to go.

However, I felt that the restaurant recommendations were pretty good. Whenever I went to a different location, I just followed their recommendations for food and had very pleasant meals without wasting too much time deciding on where to eat.

I definitely will not recommend this guidebook to people who have never traveled in California before, because there just isn¡¦t enough information on freeways and directions. I agree with the reviewer below that it¡¦s best to use this guide book with another more in depth one. But if you¡¦ve been to San Diego before and want to visit the place again, then this guide is probably enough for you to get to the good food places and perhaps spark your interest in visiting some other attractions as well.

Generalized information on the area.......2003-01-11

Good basic 'generalized' information about the San Diego area. I find when you use books like this one, you really only feel they sent out questionairres to businesses then selected a few without really feeling out what makes a good hotel for some and a bad restaurant for others. The lack of any map detail as they describe locations will make you buy another guide book to see what may be in the vicinity of a particular hotel and attraction anyway. So I would stick to Fodor's or Frommer's and get a book to augment it, not this one.

The one we recommend........2002-11-04

To the thousands of our readers, local and world-wide who ask us to recommend one book about San Diego travel....this is the one.

Excellent San Diego insight guide!.......2000-12-21

I have read a number of guide books on San Diego, and most provide very useful information. However, this book by Landis and Shaw goes beyond the typical format. There are really great sections on the various cities and communities of San Diego county that provide readers interested in relocation with key insights and a general sense of real estate housing prices. There are other useful chapters on schools, things to do, restaurants, and so on that are useful for tourists, residents and families interested in relocation.

The authors convey their love of San Diego in a clean, refreshing style that makes for interesting reading. I found it hard to put the book down once I got going. Going through the well-written book was like seeing an old friend at a social event and asking about "the real story" behind a particular community. I heartily recommend this book, and look forward to the time when there will be a second edition.

New love, Old Problems Part 2.......2006-04-14

Momo has spied on Kiley's secret meeting with Morika and heard of the plans to meet at a hotel. Horrified she throws Kiley's present, a knit cell phone case that Momo handmade, at him and takes off. He pursues her only to get into a run in with a mugging and beat up so severely it lands him in the hospital. Momo, thinking he would show up to apologize, waits all night for him only to be ignored.

Now, ticked off and with nothing else to lose, she decides to confront Kiley and Morika at the hotel, but to her astonishment it turns out that the meeting was not between them but between Morika and Kiley's older brother, Ryo. Ryo turns on all the charm to Momo, who enchants him, and invites her to a party hosted by his programming company in an effort to get her some cash (so she can go off with Kiley for a special trip). But Momo's good intentions turn against her as everything that Kiley warned her about his older brother turns out to be true...and what's worse is that Sae is present to witness Momo's mistake.

Drama....! Man, smooth playboys like Ryo make high school manga worth reading, and here he is in all of his glory... seducing one woman after another, playing people against one another...Kiley is right when he says that Ryo is like Sae.. Perfect match, which is why Ryo called Sae on the carpet about her behaviour...they are mirror images, and when you throw that in with someone as gullible and na?ve as Momo...well let's just say she is the pot calling the kettle black as far as Toji is concerned...she fell for every single one of Ryo's smooth stories just as Toji did with Sae, only now Momo is powerless to do anything. Well, the series just keeps getting better and better, and I know I'll be getting the next volume from work just to keep my fix going.

Great Bro.......2003-06-04

In this vol. of change of heart Momo mets Kiley's big bro Ryo.
he come's off as a nice guy at first but he's secretly another Sae at least thats what i think.Every thing changes around and like momo wanted Toji to believe that sae was evil Kiley now is trying to convince Momo that Ryo is evil as well.At the end of vol.2 kiley has to come to Momo's rescue and this of course is the catch that makes you have to buy the next vol.

Book Description

This CTMI volume deals with specific aspects of viral interactions with cellular membranes and includes chapters on viral entry, viral membrane fusion, viral membrane protein synthesis and transport, viral replication, viral interactions with cytoskeletal systems and the nucleus, the trafficking of viral membrane proteins and viral perturbation of host cell protein trafficking. The chapters provide overviews of viral interactions with cellular membrane trafficking mechanisms and up to date reviews of each field.

Book Description

This book is based on the George Fisher Baker Lecture given by Jean-Michel Savéant at Cornell University in Fall 2002.
* The first book focusing on molecular electrochemistry
* Relates to other fields, including photochemistry and biochemistry
* Outlines clearly the connection between concepts, experimental illustrations, proofs and supporting methods
* Appendixes to provide rigorous demonstrations to prevent an overload of algebra in the main text
* Applications-oriented, focused on analyzing the results obtained rather than the methodology

Book Description

Completely revised and updated, Elements of Environmental Engineering: Thermodynamics and Kinetics, Second Edition covers the applications of chemical thermodynamics and kinetics in environmental processes. Each chapter has been rewritten and includes new examples that better illuminate the theories discussed. An excellent introduction to environmental engineering, this reference stands alone in its multimedia approach to fate and transport modeling and in pollution control design options. Clearly and lucidly written, it provides extensive tables, figures, and data that make it the reference to have on this subject.

Customer Reviews:

wonderful introductory textbook.......1999-12-28

A good resource for environmentasl engineers especially those with little or no background in physical chemistry. However, there could be more examples that would have helped. I found this quiter sutiable for an upper level class in environmental engineering or chemical engineering.

a good text.......1997-12-14

this is an excellent resource for environmental engineers who are not proficient with the basics of physical chemistry as applied to the environment. It gives a good background in chemical thermodynamics and kinetics applied to various environmental problems.
