The Cancer Information Service helps patients and families........1998-12-05
This book describes how cancer patients, family members, and the general public seek health information. The focus is on the Cancer Information Service, an award-winning, nation-wide service that provides the latest, most accurate cancer information through the 1-800-4-CANCER telephone number. Although the book is a bit dated, it provides a useful analysis of what people look for when they call for cancer information, and their satisfaction with it. A 1998 Journal of Health Communications monograph has more recent analyses of how callers use information obtained through the Cancer Information Service.

Book Description
The use of actual observations to infer the properties of a model is an inverse problem, which are often difficult as they may not have a unique solution. This book proposes a general approach that is valid for linear as well as for nonlinear problems. The philosophy is essentially probabilistic and allows the reader to understand the basic difficulties appearing in the resolution of inverse problems. The book attempts to explain how a method of acquisition of information can be applied to actual real-world problems, including many heuristic arguments. Prompted by recent developments in inverse theory, this text is a completely rewritten version of a 1987 book by the same author, and includes many algorithmic details for Monte Carlo methods, least-squares discrete problems, and least-squares problems involving functions. In addition, some notions are clarified, the role of optimization techniques is underplayed, and Monte Carlo methods are taken much more seriously.

A warm, thoughtful, personable, engaging account.......2002-05-10
Crossroads On Nebraska Ave. is the autobiography of Keith Marr, a humble American whose pivotal life experiences arising from his job, his marriage, his religious experience, and his education in music, all took place at a special Tampa, Florida crossroad in the 1950s. That was the location of 60001 North Nebraska Avenue and the site of Publix Super Market #21. A warm, thoughtful, personable, engaging account of a life well lived, faith in Jesus Christ, and the joy of cowboy music, Crossroads On Nebraska Ave. is highly recommended reading.

Book Description
This is the story of Howard A. Monta's evolution from a picked-on, chubby kid, to a risk-taking adventurer who was drawn to a long career as an aggressive law enforcer. The saga spans his life from childhood in a poor Seattle neighborhood, to his retirement from the Seattle Police Department in 1997.The colorful narration of his infatuation for a New York girl whom he cajoled into marrying him, despite his outrageous behavior, will bring a smile to the face of even the most somber reader.

For rookies or police fans, one not to miss!.......2003-07-01
For anyone who thought they knew what being a police officer was all about, this book will enlighten and surprise you. With completely candid stories and adventures, Sgt. Monta gives you a play by play on what it is like to walk in his shoes for a while. As an officer that has worked under and with him, I can honestly say, he deserves applause for all his dedication to the police family.
Book Description
Javier Perez de Cuellar served as the Secretary General of the United Nations from 1982-1991, a period in which some of the most dramatic and politically significant events of the late 20th century occurred. In this book, he shares his impressions of some of the powerful world leaders who he worked with, of the roles they played in these events, and of his impressions of them.
Customer Reviews:
in International Relations..........2001-01-08
Reviewed in International Relations Vol14 No4 April 1999 byPETER UNWIN...
To be Secretary-General of the United Nations must bethe world's most impossible job. He must take a view on all theworld's problems, and action on many of them. He leads anunderfunded organization and a staff notoriously uneven in itsabilities and commitment. In everything he undertakes he has toprotect his objectivity, remembering the disparate interests of theglobal constituency he serves. And day-in-day-out the world demandsof him solutions to the insoluble, all too often undercuts hisefforts, and blames him for his failures.
To produce a readablememoir of a Secretary-General's experiences must be literature'smost impossible task. The tasks he faces are by their very natureepisodic, eclectic, disparate, tackling first this challenge to theworld's well-being and then that. And that vast majority of readerswho still locate themselves first by reference to the country fromwhich they come, look for a national focus which a conscientiousSecretary-General must eschew.
This is a background against whichJavier Perez de Cuellar has produced Pilgrimage for Peace, an accountof his stewardship in tackling fifteen of the multitude of issues withwhich he was involved as Secretary-General between 1982 and 1991. Theyrange from Lebanon to Central America, Cambodia to Yugoslavia, takingin things like Cyprus, Namibia and the Western Sahara along theway. There is something here for everyone, but the episodes which arelikely to interest a predominantly British-based readership areperhaps his accounts of the Falklands crisis and of the War in theGulf.
In describing his attempts to find a peaceful resolution tothe Falklands dispute, Perez de Cuellar confronts very frankly his ownLatin American background. His account of his negotiations withBritish and Argentine representatives seems scrupulously fair, whilediscreetly admitting to finding the British approach the morepersuasive of the two. Here, as in so many of his case histories, hesees time as the enemy, with the unstoppable march of events forcingdeadlines and ultimata upon the negotiators. So for him, AlexanderHaig's attempts at shuttle diplomacy are valiant and ingenious butin the end extravagant of the time that was ticking away as theBritish task force advanced into the South Atlantic and Londonconvinced itself that Buenos Aires was playing not for a solution butfor time. For the statesman in such a case, Perez de Cuellar comments,time may in the long run prove itself a healer, but in the press ofevents it is a tyrannical master.
In his treatment of the Gulf Wareight years later, Perez de Cuellar examines a very different crisis,and looks at it from the point of view of the interaction between twopeacemaking forces which at their best are mutually supportive but caneasily get at odds with one another. The one is action by a state or agroup of states, in the case of the Gulf the coalition which GeorgeBush put together in support of a predominantly American militarycommitment. The other is action by the world society's dedicatedinternational instrument, the United Nations, which throughout theyears of the Cold War was all too often blocked by a Security Councilveto from one side or other. In the Gulf in 1992 the two forces workedin rough-and-ready harmony, with one providing the military capacityand will and the other the international legitimacy. But more recentevents in the Gulf have demonstrated the difficulty of maintainingsuch harmony in the long haul. The tension between United Nations andUnited States, temporarily set aside in 1992, has long since returnedto haunt Secretaries-General and, perhaps, Presidents.
Perez deCuellar sets these and other episodes in a broader, more enduringcontext. He tells us something about the United Nations as instrumentand something about the convictions with which he entered on his termas Secretary-General and passed the job on to a successor nine yearslater. He leaves us with an impression of a courageous and determinedman, perhaps deficient in supreme political skills and without thecharisma of a born leader, who nevertheless did his best in a periodof great change and serious danger for the world community of which hewas the servant.
Book Description
A young man's journey into the heart of the American myth. The soul of the book is in the richness of the telling. With lively and insightful writing, Clay Evans makes this memoir sparkle, blending in an appealing coming-of-age story, in which he begins to come to terms with life, love and himself. "I See By Your Outfit" does not aim to puncture the cowboy myth, but rather to penetrate its romantic veneer to find the flesh-and-blood, sweat and leather reality of cowboy work.
Customer Reviews:
It was well written but...........2002-03-11
Clay Evans has a very well written tale here. Tale being the key word here. Although I can not account for all of his stories I can account for the ones that took place in my hometown. Some of the portrayals of people I know and have known my entire life are innacurate and down right offensive in many respects. His opinion of a lifestyle I was raised in and continue to be a part of is one of someone who totally missed the mark in his short lived experience with "The Life." It's not only offensive to the people it's writtewn about but to anyone who has chosen the lifestyle he so wrongly describes. But if you are looking for a well written book of tales, then read it, but if you are looking for an accurate representaion of a true way of life, pass this one by.
Cowboy life as it really is.......2001-01-08
This book begins slowly. As a matter of fact, my husbaand who knows how to rope and has been in a rodeo was so bored as he read the first 40 or so pages that he quit reading it. I kept on, and after Clay got on his first horse, everything (including him!) took off! By the time I finished the book, I was impressed with the depth of his feelings about himself, his cowboy experiences, and his future. I feel like a better person for having read Clay's story and am looking forward to more things by him. I was impressed that he learned to write quite by accident when he took a writing class in college to complete units for graduation. His teacher was one of those rare ones who encouraged him! We all need that kind of encouragement.
Growing Up With Dreams & Reality.......2000-04-27
I related very much with this book as I had very similar dreams as Clay. I also followed my dreams through college and finally faced with the real world let them go. But I have never regretted taking that path as did Clay. I found the book to be very honest in its approach to the subject. Mr. Evans writes clearly and to the point. I felt that most men could identify with him even if they had no cowboy background.
I See By Your Outfit.......2000-01-10
Although I don't entirely agree with Clay Bonnyman Evans, I admire his honesty with which he has written this book. His tenacity for following the life that he wanted to lead is so rare and he expresses it so well in his writing. After reading this book, I am surprised at how long it has stayed with me, and how often I think of Mr Evans. If your looking for a glorified tale of ranching, don't look here, but if you are looking for a honest tale, read this book!
from Boulder, CO.......1999-11-28
I loved the book. It made me understand the struggles within a grown up boy who had everything and just wanted to experience life at its fullest and chose being a cowboy. Clay's talent is how he sees things a little different and is able to describe them on paper and make you say oh yeah!

Does God Exist? Is There Life After Life? Do Spirits Exist. Private Eye Comen finds the answers as his search for truth in the disappearance of a missing bridge inspector leads him on journey into the hereafter. Fact, not Fiction.
Customer Reviews:
A Marvelous Spiritual Journey.......2002-03-09
This is a one-of-a-kind story about a soulful journey one man made and his many adventures on the way. I thoroughly enjoyed Mr. Comen's candid revelations and how he continually moved forward, unafraid, always searching for answers to the big questions in life. It really is an inspirational chronicle of a dialogue between a very human man and God. Excellent twists and turns... with a beautiful ending.
