This book made me homesick........2001-01-31

Gruchow certainly has an eye for detail. Growing up close to the Minnesota prairie he describes, I missed seeing some of the sights, flowers, and animals he describes. His multi-page description of a summer thunderstorm brought back so many memories as did his marsh descriptions. It is a nice short book that deserves to be savored. It is easy to read a section, put the book down and come back later and be right back on the prairie. The feelings I got reading this book reminded me of how I felt after reading Dakota by Kathleen Norris. Both brought back good memories of my growing up years in the Midwest.

The mid-Atlantic seaboard, from New York to Virginia, houses some three dozen federally administered wildlife preserves, 23 of them open to the public. Some, such as the Delmarva Peninsula's Chincoteague Island and the Great Dismal Swamp, are relatively well known and heavily visited. Others, such as West Virginia's Ohio River Islands National Wildlife Refuge, which shelters some 200 bird species, and New Jersey's Wallkill River National Wildlife Refuge, which is less than an hour's drive from Manhattan, are little-known treasures. Prolific science writer Edward Ricciuti provides brief descriptions of the region's publicly accessible wildlife refuges in this guidebook, with directions on how to get to them and suggestions on what to see and do once you arrive. His book makes a fine resource for those seeking to escape the city and make for uncrowded woods and water. --Gregory McNamee

Book Description

Is there light in the darkness?

Jessica Wakefield has lost touch with her classes, her friends, her sorority, even her own sister. How can she live her life when Nick Fox is dead? She knows her future is crumbling but she's too depressed to stop it. Will a surprise reunion with her ex-husband, Mike McAllery, bring her back to the land of the living?

Elizabeth Wakefield is sick of watching her sister destroy herself. She's tried her best to help Jessica, but her best hasn't been good enough. Just when Elizabeth is about to lose hope, she finds it--in Mike's arms.

Customer Reviews:

Some parts were a little dumb..........2000-04-07

Parts of the book were slightly inane, such as when Jessica is falling into a depression over losing Nick, Liz tried to enlist Mike McAllery's help. I think maybe Liz just needed to be a good listener while gently prodding Jess to keep up with her classes & friends...speaking of classes & friends, Jess needs to start figuring out some kind of career plan. She & her brother Steve discussed that in "Billie's Secret" SVU#18; it's high time she did something with her life besides bounce from guy to guy. Each time a romance starts, she's sure that the guy is just "right" for her, that they're going to get married & all, but when it ends she falls apart! I think if she were more grounded & had some inkling of what her interests & talents are, maybe when a romance does end, she wouldn't cope so poorly with it. I think maybe Liz could guide Jess toward some counseling, both personal & career. Her sorority, especially horrid, rotten-hearted Alison Quinn doesn't help matters at all! I think Jess needs better, less shallow, & more understanding friends.

Surprise, Surprise.......2000-02-10

This book was kind of slow at first,but it got really good. I feel sorry for Jessica though. It seems that when she falls for the perfect guy,they either leave her or die.(that rhymes :) Surprise,surprise...Elizabeth fell for Mike McAllery,Jessica's ex-husband. Of course,who wouldn't...but Elizabeth should have more common sense than that. Well,it's a good book anyway.

Good, Bad, but All the Same in the End........1999-07-07

I agree with another reviewer, that Jessica has been through enough. After all, this is the second guy she's been seriously involved with who has died (the other was Christian, let me know if I missed another one). I hope the guy that's stalking Jessica is Nick, and I hope they find a way to be together. I'm going out to buy the next book tonight. I also like the change of roles in Jessica and Elizabeth. For the first time, I actually feel sorry for Jessica. She deserves some happiness, so I hope she and Nick find their way back together.

Suspense in the making..........1999-04-14

I thought this book was great. I was not expecting Elizabeth to fall for Mike- Jessica's ex-husband. I hope that soon Danny finds a way to see Isabella. Hopefully, the person spying on Jessica is Nick just watching out for her. Overall the book was great and left me curious for the next book.

there are a lot of better sweet valley university books.......1999-04-14

Normally I like the sweet valley university book, but this one is so unrealiztic! I like the Elisabeth character a lot, but this is not the real Elisabeth. A question to the author - this is the third time a boyfriend of Jessica is "having problems" !!! I think it is enough.

Book Description

This volume is the first comprehensive compilation of methods for the assay and purification of enzymes involved in the utilization of reduced one-carbon compounds and higher hydrocarbons. In the last decade there has been an explosion of interest in the organisms that grow on one-carbon compounds and in those that grow on higher hydrocarbons. This is due to the commercial interest in the unique enzymes involved in these specialty metabolic pathways and to a growing understanding of the important role these organisms play in carbon cycling in nature. More recent interest in the use of these organisms and their enzymes for detoxification of hazardous waste has once again put the spotlight on these unique microorganisms. This volume will prove to be a valuable source for researchers in academia, government, and industry alike.

Book Description

This book is based on lecture notes developed for a one-semester graduate course entitled "The Interaction of Radiation with Matter", taught in the Department of Nuclear Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The main objective of the course is to teach enough quantum and classical radiation theory to allow students in engineering and the applied sciences to understand and have access to the vast literature on applications of ionizing and non-ionizing radiation in materials research. Besides presenting the fundamental physics of radiation interactions, the book devotes individual chapters to some of the important modern-day experimental tools, such as nuclear magnetic resonance, photon correlation spectroscopy, and the various types of neutron, x-ray and light-scattering techniques.

Highly Impressive Seller!.......2007-09-21

This seller is highly impressive! WoW! very fast delivery and I mean, the book was as advertised! Absolutely Amazing! I highly recommend buying from this seller! Whoo!

The best Physics problem set for the MCAT ......PERIOD!.......2007-06-17

This book is one of the two books I focused on for my MCAT. I used this book and the 1001 Chemistry questions to "freshen up" on my weak areas.

Examkrackers 1001 Questions in MCAT Chemistry (Examkrackers)

These books are NOT designed to be worked all the way beginning to end, but either randomly or specific sections. It even mentions that in the books. These are not to be confused with the Examkrackers textbooks or testbooks, and these should not be purchased instead of on those. These are only a supplement to the examkrackers program for the MCAT.

When I took my practic tests (AMCAS is the best because they make the MCAT) I found out my weak areas. I then when back in the Examkrackers textbooks and reviewed that passage, then I did all of the problems for that section in the problem book which was only about 15 per topic (e.g. linear acceleration). The alternate method would be doing every 4th or 5th question till you find something you aren't skilled in.

The problems are ordered in increasing difficulty, with explanations in the back of the book and best way to attempt the problem. Best of all, if you use it with the textbooks it explains how to do the problems in your head efficiently. By the time I was ready for the MCAT, I learned more physics from these books than a whole year in college. In college I just memorized formulas, with these problem books you learn the concepts and how it relates. This one beats out Kaplan, and Princeton by long shot (I used both). I never memorized one single formula for the MCAT, and my score was very competitive.

At first it seemed promising........2007-06-10

At first I thought that this book was good. It seems like a good idea to practice 1001 questions. However, the questions are confusing and not reflective of real MCAT questions. I've had my physics instructor, who used to teach MCAT prep courses, look at the book and he also thought that many questions were not worded well. They say that they are trying to make it more challenging so that you will know what to expect on the MCAT. I don't like that approach and wish I hadn't spent my money on this. BTW I'm getting 10's and 11's, usually only missing two or three physics questions, on my practice sections, so I don't feel like it's because I don't understand physics.

Review of Examkrackers 1001 Questions in MCAT Physics by Jonathan Orsay.......2007-01-13

The book contains over 1001 practice questions for MCAT. The shear amount of practice from this book is guaranteed to help you prepare for MCAT one way or another.
How similar the questions are to actual MCAT physics questions is a whole another matter. And in truth not too similar. Firstly, actual MCAT physics questions are often based on a passage, all the physics questions from Examkrackers are standalone questions. Actual MCAT questions vary in topic from one question to the next, in this book questions are grouped together by topic. So if you're trying to simulate MCAT testing conditions while doing the exercises in this practice book it wouldn't be a realistic simulation. Secondly because all questions are standalone, it's hard to set time limits for a number of questions. Of course you're always trying to do the questions as fast as you can, being as careful as you can. But taking the MCAT requires a good sense of timing that you probably won't get from this book. Thirdly, the content of the questions in this book rely on what is extra to the MCAT. So there may be questions that require a bit of memorization and knowledge from other sciences. In itself this is not a bad thing, but it should dictate the way you use the book.
If you have time, I would recommend doing all the questions in there. And then moving on to more realistic practice from other books.
I hope this was a helpful review.

Delivery time.......2005-09-10

It took a long time from Amazon to deliver the item to me and I did not feel good about since my exam was getting closer to the date of delivering the book.
In the begining I ask for free delivary and you said it will take 5 days but the 5 days came and gone and no delivary.
I tried another type of delivary but no way the book did not come. Then I cancle the whole thing and starts again with the v. expensive delivary then the book came, but it was v.late.

Book Description

La cautivadora serie Los Hijos de la Tierra de Jean M. Auel se ha convertido en un fenómeno literario, adorado por lectores de todo el mundo. En una brillante novela tan auténtica y entretenida como las anteriores, Auel nos lleva de nuevo a los primeros días de la humanidad y a las cautivadoras aventuras de la valiente mujer llamada Ayla. Con su compañero, Jondalar, Ayla emprende su más peligroso y osado viaje: hacia lo nunca visito, lejos de las cálidas hogueras de aquellos cazadores de mamuts que le dieron la bienvenida. Esta nueva odisea los lleva a través de un hermoso pero poco poblado y traicionero continente de praderas azotadas por el viento, en la Europa de la Edad del Hielo, hasta situarlos entre desconocidos. Algunos se sentirán fascinados por Ayla y Jondalar, poseedores de numerosas e innovadoras habilidades, entre las que se cuentan la doma de caballos salvajes y de un lobo; otros los evitarán al sentirse amenazados por lo que no pueden comprender; y aun otros los amenazarán. Pero sus profundas ansias personales impulsan a Ayla, sin memoria de su propia gente, y a Jondalar, ansioso de volver a los suyos, a seguir el trayecto a través del centro mismo de un mundo espectacular y desconocido, para encontrar un lugar al que ambos puedan llamar hogar.
