Answers provided but not method for solving.......2007-05-10

Perhaps I am out of touch as it has been years since my last aptitude test but this book provides cursory explanation of solution approaches before dumping you into the exercises. The answer section is for the most part just the answers (like.... A) no explanation of how to get there.

thumbs up.......2006-11-10

I found this book very useful to prepare with and there was plenty of relevant practice questions.

good up-to-date "popular" science review in astro/geophysics.......2003-05-16

I really enjoyed this book. Many of the most up-to-date and exciting areas of astro/geo science are well covered and the state of the art is detailed. Yet to my opinion the fact that the articles are high level publications re-written in an (almost) popular way is problematic for one or two, where the author do not put enough "feeling" in his prose.

Book Description

How can evaluation be used most effectively, and what are the strengths and weaknesses of the various methods? Colin Robson provides guidance in a clear and uncluttered way. The issue of collaboration is examined step-by-step; stakeholder models are compared with techniques such as participatory evaluation and practitioner-centred action research; ethical and political considerations are placed in context; and the best ways of communicating findings are discussed. Each chapter is illustrated with helpful exercises to show the practical application of the issues covered, making this an invaluable introduction for anyone new to evaluation.

Book Description

With a minimum of mathematics, this book provides a novel approach to the teaching of quantum mechanics. As many books mainly present the concepts of quantum theory, this volume emphasises the application of the theory, offering the reader a unifying picture of atoms, molecules and solids. Essential for all undergraduate physics courses, it will also be a most valuable supplementary text for postgraduate courses on quantum mechanics.

A good read but not definative ..........2003-12-09

James Couzens was a liberal Republican progressive that ended up in full support of the New Deal. In general he stood for what he believed in and didn't take direction from any special interests. The book makes it seem like he was truly a public servant but others tend to dismiss him as an mean-spirited and cold man. The book is definitely dated and had surprisingly few details about his personal life or how he actually accomplished what he did. Depending on how important his career actually is in US History, I think someone should take another shot at a biography of him.

Outstanding.......2002-10-09

This book portrays a man who contributed to the strength of the United States. It should be a "must read" for all high schoolers.

Long winded.......2007-06-05

Some interesting stories worthy of listening to in this audio version, (particularly in the first half) but far too few. This "abridged" 5 CD set could have been abridged even further. I felt Two CD's would have been ample to express the bookworthy experiences of Dr. Larimore. Several of the less than interesting stories seemed very drawn out and I found myself saying... come on, get to the point. A book version would never have kept me interested long enough to read it through to the end. I DO like the subject matter it has the potential to be quite fascinating but I would have paid double the price for twice the stories at half the length.

Quality and Candid.......2006-08-16

This book provides a real honest look at the life on an extraordinary woman from her point of view. Mary Finch Hoyt provides a telling and intriguing story of her life growing up, coming into her own during a rough time in US History. The style of the writing is personal and yet very professional - at times a diary or a history, and at all times very real and honest. Self evaluating weakness and frustrations provides a compelling platform to humanize what often is a dehumanized institution, the government. Yet though there are moments of unfulfilled potential there is still a long list of accomplishments to be proud of.

A book that isn't full of itself, the accomplishments of an administration or the individuals who served it - the book explores the transformation of American politics and does so in an intriguing and accessible fashion.

East Wing: Politics, the Press and a First Lady, May 8, 2002.......2002-05-09

Mary Hoyt's new memoir is the story of her personal and professional journey and it is truly a profile in courage. She shows that when armed with determination, a woman who strives to be independent can achieve the career of her choice. Hoyt has my greatest admiration for her humorous insights as she leads us on an intimate fast-paced journey through the highs and lows of her career. A single parent of two young children, she was determined to carve out a future for herself and her sons. Without any formal introductions, she uprooted her family from the west coast to the Washington political scene and established herself as a political journalist. In the early days of the women's movement when political partners created their own roles as players in national campaigns, she served as press secretary to the wives of presidential nominees and then to First Lady Rosalyn Carter. She reminds us that each American First Lady copes in a different way with her unelected, unpaid, and often unrewarding job. East Wing is a real contribution to 20th century social and political history. Beautifully written, this book tells it like it was through themes of courage, hard work, risk, and fulfillment. A must read!

East Wing -- A Look Back.......2002-05-02

Mary Hoyt's "East Wing" was a thoroughly enjoyable read. For those who care about public policy, politics and history it is a wonderfully up close and personal look at a time of rather dramatic change. At the same time it is every bit as lively and intimate as the highly acclaimed "West Wing" television series.

"East Wing" takes an interesting approach in its look back at the significance of the changes taking place in the 70s. The author does this through the prism of her own life and an activist First Lady. Capturing the changing times and how they impacted her life and then played out on one of the leading stages in the world -- the White House -- was informative and entertaining.

A tip of the hat to the book's author Mary Hoyt for reminding us just how much we have all changed and the significance of those changes. It is a book I want my daughter to read.

East Wing.......2002-04-22

The insider views, from the Press Secretary of the McGoverns, Muskies and Carters are illuminating as we can see the evolution of the women's roles in their husbands political lives. After I started the book, I bagged the rest of my TO DO List for the weekend. It's a great read--present tense, short crisp sentences, make your feel like you are there, and moving as fast as Mary Hoyt must have been at the time! The book is even more enjoyable and meaningful, because the author's personal life--full of challenges to say the least-- is interwoven into story. Hers is a rather inspiring story of one woman's "evolution."

Inside Story.......2002-04-19

This is a wonderful book. Written by the Press Secretary to First Lady Rosslyn Carter, Mrs. Edmund Muskie, and Mrs.George McGovern, Mary Hoyt takes the reader inside the people, places, and events of turbulent times - from the chaos of the "68" Chicago Democratic Convention to the Iran Hostage Crisis in the last days of the Carter Administration in the early "80". Reading this book, I really got to know the players as people, gained a whole new sense of many personalies in Washington, the problems they faced, and the world they lived in. From the first page, I knew it was an insider's story, that Mary Hoyt had really been there, done that. So I felt the frenetic activity of campaigning and running the White House. I saw history being made, particularly the rise of "the New First Lady," a player in her own right, one who transformed how people viewed and wrote about the "Office of First Lady." Beyond this, we learn how the writer, a single divorced woman with two children and little job experience, fought and earned her way into the seat of power. So the book is about not only the workings of politics in the late sixties and seventies, but also about the rise of women in the second half of the twentieth century. On both counts, its the "real story" told by someone who was there in the thick of it. It is also told by someone who can write. Very lively and engaging, and informative. Buy and read the book. You won't be disappointed.

Book Description

In 1997, almost by accident, John Richardson found himself sharing a hotel with more than a thousand dwarfs. Over the course of a single week, he begins relationships with some of the people at a convention that evolve into an affecting two-year-and-beyond odyssey into the little world.

He introduces us to characters like a saintly but obsessed doctor and a mother who sacrifices her family to save her dwarf daughter. He follows two dwarf lovers from their first meeting through their struggle to overcome fear and shame and find the confidence to love each other. He becomes personally involved in a tangled and often confrontational friendship with a female dwarf.

Through these stories and musings, ranging from classic theories of beauty to the history of the disability movement, to postmodern theories of difference, Richardson presents a world that is a skewed reflection of our own -- and offers us a glimpse into the essential human condition.

Egotripping at its worst.......2007-06-11

John Richardson allegedly went to Atlanta to write about the yearly national conference for Little People of America. What he actually ended up doing was putting himself into the story very much like Charlie Kaufman did in the film "Adaptation." It didn't work for that film and it certainly doesn't work for this book.

So many reviews praise Richardson for sharing this hidden world with the general public. Richardson does not shed light on an unknown world. He reports on a world full of people that he, like many others, fail to see as human beings. He exposes his prejudice towards people with dwarfism throughout, but the most glaring example is at the end. After following Jocelyn and her family for over 2 years he says good-bye and writes that he "bends down to kiss her bulging forehead." Two years and the only thing he still sees are the differences? With reporting such as this he never is able to convey anything to his readers besides his constant "look at the freaks" mentality that the book opens with. Richardson's glee at his entry into dwarf-world simply reads as the kid who finally finds someone the bullies dislike even more than they dislike him and uses his new found knowledge to keep it that way.

Perhaps it's more important for Richardson to blow away the stereotype of "little bodies/big hearts" and let the world know he's the Goliath that slew David. Perhaps his "us vs them" mentality makes him feel superior. Perhaps he has never come to grips that the beauty that he is so obsessed with has eluded him. Whatever his reasons for writing this book, gaining insight on a community he is not a member of is not one of them. There are better fiction books on dwarfism than this supposedly true story.

A MUST READ... INVOLVED!.......2005-03-18

I loved reading this book and will read it again. When I began reading, I could not set the book down. I felt Richardson was honest and respectful of difference. He speaks his mind over a subject he initially knew very little about. It was one person's perspective and he told it with compassion. As someone who also has a disability, I gravitated toward each and every page; to each and every person.

I was totally involved, so much so that I started rereading my own texts to often dispute what he wrote. Whether I agreed or disagreed with his assessments is not the point. He's a journalist and told it like it is according to his perspective. Does that mean I have to agree with everything he wrote? Of course not.

Yet I was introduced to a world I would not have been, had I not read his account; conversations which involved both the dwarfs and himself. I was so moved by this book and felt it one of the few books I've read in awhile that created an emotional turmoil with myself.

The only thing I questioned (and this is not about his or other's opinons) was that perhaps Eveyln and her daughter Jocelyn were like a book on their own. It was just something I wondered.

I thank all the incredibly brave, honest and candid people profusely. You brought me a new sense about life and love. We are just people.

Different Subject Matter + Great Introspection = Great Read.......2005-02-07

I saw this book in Half-Price Books. I liked the layout on the cover, it looked "different", and it was cheap (bingo!), so I bought it. Because of time constraints, it took me 2-3 weeks to read this book. However, one could easily finish it within a week if they so desired.
I really liked the book. The author went to a convention of dwarves for a magazine assignment, and initiated relationships that would continue for a long time. One was with Evelyn Powell and her daughter Jocelyn. From Australia, it details their communication and friendship as they return home, go back to America for surgery that will help her to walk, return home again and decide that they are going to return permanently to America, leaving their family behind. In Evelyn you saw both a mother willing to do anything to help her daughter, as well a super-mother who was sometimes overly focused on this quest. You get to know her feelings, as well as those of her other children and her husband, who feel that she abandons them.
You become acquainted with Andrea, another dwarf. She has a love-hate relationship with the author because she's not willing to accept his opinions that dwarves initally strike him as weird. Different. Fascinating. I thought he was being a good reporter, and being honest. It would have been easy to patronize them, and write a touchy-feely big-hearts-in-little-bodies sing-song tribute to the hard lives of dwarves. But I felt that the author really told it as it is. By being intimate about his own response to seeing a little person, he was able to analyze and dissect the reasons why we see people as normal/varying from the norm. I felt that he was brave to be so honest about his thoughts, especially because he got a lot of flak for them. Listen, if you don't want the truth, which is many times ugly, there are a lot of other books you can pick up. I'm not so sure that they will touch you as much as this one did.
Richardson both highlighted the unique lives of dwarves and drew attention to their advantages/disadvantages that come from being short. He also showed, in many times heartbreaking ways, their humanness. Their insecurity. The scrambling that goes on at these conventions to find a romantic partner- because this is a limited opportunity to hook up with someone your own height. The hierarchy within the dwarf community, paralleling that within our own society. I ultimately finished the book feeling drawn closer to humanity, realizing what it is that connects me to humanity, including dwarves, and feeling that I had a glimpse into a group of people that before was unknown to me.

I don't claim to be an expert on the dwarf community after reading this book- without firsthand experience, I will never know what it is like to see life from a lower view. I do feel that this book connected me to a people with passions, frustrations, loves, and hates often the same as my own.

The cynical journalist leaves little to admire.......2003-12-09

Journalist John H. Richardson attended a Little People of America convention looking for a story he could turn into a book. But the perfect story did not emerge immediately and so Richardson, cynical journalist that he seems to be, apparently decided to force a story. What emerges is more a voyeuristic look into the methods and musings of a journalist than the intimate look at "dwarfs" that Richardson may have intended.

Early in the book, the author muses over how he should approach his story. He is critical of those who write "little people with big hearts" stories and sets out to do something different. He succeeds. This book comes off as little people through the eyes of a little heart.

Richardson chronicles his involvement with a brassy female dwarf ; the blossoming love of a dwarf couple ; and a crippled teen female dwarf who suffers through multiple surgeries with her maladjusted mother. The author takes the subjects on his own terms, works his way into their lives, and gains their trust so that he can expose their worst personality traits with diminished attention to any warmth that they might possess.

The author writes very well as may be expected from one who writes for a living. His coverage of the world of little people is fairly complete with significant discussions on the medical treatment of dwarfism through surgery and therapy. He delves too deeply into the philosophical view of dwarfism through the ages. And he delves deeply into the relationships between little people, their families, friends and others who surround them.

He graphically chronicles the stress that dwarfism can place on a family and even more graphically portrays the havoc that can occur when one turns outside one's family for moral support.

Most of all, however, Ricahrdson depicts the way in which a journalist can invite himself into another person's life to spin a story in his own direction. Although Richardson documents the hurt expressed by some of those who read his blunt newspaper coverage of the Little People of America convention, he sheds any personal remorse and continues his calloused views to the end of this book. I can only hope that those same people hurt by Richardson's newspaper work will save themselves the pain of reading this book.

Fascinating!.......2003-04-21

This book is informative and a must-read. I never really knew too much about dwarves, their lives and what they go through on a daily basis. More importantly, I had no concept of the struggle they endure due to their obvious differences from others. This amazing book documents the lives of numerous dwarves and their families lives and how it affects them. Though I will never truly know what it is like to be a "little person," this book definitely gave me valuable insight. Don't be fooled: this book is not just depressing - it has many funny and inspiring stories that makes it hard to put down. Most importantly, Richardson's honesty is what makes this book really work because you can identify with him throughout the book because he came into writing this book as an outsider - and when he was done writing the book, and I was done reading it, we both had a better understanding of a world that was once foreign to us.
