If you're only going to read one book about Lake Superior ..........2005-12-06
This would be it.
Everything you ever wanna know about the Big Lake, and then some.
Exquisite photography.
Classroom textbook.......2002-06-09
As a classroom teacher of a high school level field biology/ecology/limnology class I just purchased this book as a classroom text to use! As someone else said, it has some beautiful, awe-inspiring pictures, but the content is what sets it apart. The pictures allow you to feel the moment, but the word allow you to smell it, touch it and feel it.
Pure reading "candy" for the eye,mind and spirit!.......1999-01-21
After reading Lake Superior: Story and Spirit.., we visited and interviewed the authors and publishers John and Ann Mahan and were overwhelmed with the research behind the development and eventual publishing of this outstanding book on the greatest of the great lakes! We rec. this book to anyone who seriously wants a dynamic combination of beauty AND content. The romance and reality of Lake Superior are wonderfully combined and shared with the reader.

A Good Guide Book is Sufficient.......2000-10-28
Went to Hong Kong for the first time and wanted to do some background reading. If you're fairly familiar with world history and politics and some background on the fact that Hong Kong was a former British colony, I don't think this book offers any earthshattering insights. Furthermore, this book was poorly edited with grammar and punctuation errors.
If you're simply travelling for business, a good guide book will provide much of the same information. If you're trying to open a business or office, then you will likely need a more in-depth introduction than this book provides. In addition, the authors add several personal ancedotes, which I didn't find to be particularly insightful or instructive.
The bottom line is browse through this book in a bookstore first. I think you'll find that you can much of the same information by reading a good guide book or even talking to other colleagues who have travelled to Hong Kong.

As the Dollmage's powers weaken and age comes upon her, she knkows hse must choose a successor. On the day she predicts to be the birthday of her chosen one, two girls are born: Annakey and Renoa. One girl must learn the Dollmage's magic, but which one? At first it seems clear—Renoa will be the Dollmage....or will she?
As Annakey grows up, she discovers that she, too, has magic. When Annakey's valley is threatened by outside forces, she is the only one with a plan to save her people. How will she persuade the Dollmage and her people that she has the power to help?

Honest Narration.......2007-04-14
This is a beautiful, thoughtful book, with a narrator who willingly shows us how her own mistakes have caused so many problems. I loved the descriptions and the perspective on the selfishness of human nature and how difficult and painful it can be to overcome it and how much we hurt others when we think only of ourselves. Beyond that, I liked the world that Leavitt creates, with the aspects of life made and cared for in miniature dolls.
Waste of an afternoon.......2006-07-19
The Dollmage is a dull, underdeveloped book. I was greatly disappointed after the reviews I had read. The characters were two-dimmensional and lacked believability. By telling the story from the Dollmage's point of view, Leavitt had an opportunity to use hindsight in her description of characters. However, the narrator and the characters bumble along in their own self-pity (the Dollmage) or in their all too frequently stated faults. In a good novel, the characters are three-dimensional and their actions can be mostly understood in regards to their character. Martine Leavitt rushes past the developement of her characters and therefore leaves the readers behind.
Pride comes before destruction.......2003-08-28
I found this book to be wonderful, an intricately woven tale of love, pride, hate, and broken promises. The characters were well-formed, and the narrator was very open with her faults.
The ending was perfect, a little rushed, but very well done.
I would recommend this book to at least teen girls, as there is content not suitible for younger readers.

The Quintessential IH Reference.......2001-05-20
This series of books is the ultimate reference for industrial hygienists. While the sheer size of Patty's is daunting, it should be on every IH's bookshelf. If you need to know anything about the toxicology of a chemical or other workplace health hazards, chances are it's in Patty's.

A Frustrated Physics Student.......2006-02-19
I had trouble solving the problems in the text that accompanys this book. I bought this in hopes that it would help me figure out where I went wrong in the solutions of the problems of the book and was disapointed in that it lists very few solutions. I was expecting it to be like my Calculus solution manual which lists all of the odd problems. I do not like that it lists very few problems, but the ones it actually does list helps me understand the material better, they were very thorough and easy to read.
