The strong point of this book are the pictures.

et al Whitman Coin Book and Supplies, Whitman Coin

Whitman Coin Products, 2000

Looks great, a lot of good information about the states, easy use
I really liked this product. It is nicely made, and provides a lot of interesting information about each state. Some of the quarters were hard to get in, but if you push against them with your thumb, it works well. And once the quarters are in, they don't fall out, ...

Theory of Games and Economic Behavior (Commemorative Edition) (Princeton Classic Editions)

John von Neumann, Oskar Morgenstern

Princeton University Press, 2007

Landmark work but heavy going
I'm not even sure I'm qualified to pass judgement on this book, but what I understand, I give 5 stars without hesitation. The authors discuss almost every class of game (2-person, 3-person, zero-sum, non-zero-sum, etc.) and even a very simplified version of poker. ...

Little Simon, 2001

Sabuda Does It Again
Robert Sabuda is a master of the pop-up book and this is the second one I purchased of an adaptation of a famous children's story, and once again it does not dissapoint. A good telling of the story combined with some incredible pop-ups, the one of the Emerald City ...

Prayers That Avail Much: Three Bestselling Works Complete in One Volume, 25th Anniversary Leather Burgundy ...

Germaine Copeland

Harrison House, 2005

PRAY AND FEEL THE HOLY TRINITY MOVE
I'm at a loss for words on this prayer book. You have to read these prayers in the Holy Spirit. If you have doubt, this prayer book is useless to you - and God, Jesus, Holy Spirit will be that much farther away from you. Thank God and you Germaine Copeland. :)

Patricia Benner

Prentice Hall, 2000

Should be required reading for all RN's
This book should be required reading for all nurses in all nursing programs. It is an unspoken nursing student idea that when you graduate from your nursing program that you should, "know it all." This is unrealistic for the new/novice nurse. This book explains the ...

George Orwell

New American Library: Signet Classic, 1983

Ironically assigned reading in many public schools
1984 is extremely influential on the way we as a society label each other and our government with names such as "Big Brother" Orwellian and such. These names like calling someone a Nazi allow us to appear to argue but actually allow us to dodge the real issues. This ...

Exhilirating
I read the entire book back in college. The approach to explaining quantum mechanics was so different from the other books I read back then. The derivation of the rotation matrices, the discussion of symmetry and superconductivity, among others, were simply ...
