Good, but weak about tropical soils.......2006-11-09
I'm an agronomist.Here in Brazil, I read this book.
This book is long and has many informations.
Every agronomist must read, a book such as this.
At least in ediction that I read, this book has a big failure.This book is weak about tropical soils.
For american reality, I think this book deserves 5 stars.
Well, I live in Brazil.I'll give four stars for it.
An Indispensable Reference.......2006-02-12
This is the 13th edition of a text that has been the standard in this field for 84 years. Its durability lies in its solid information; clear presentation; and graphics that are as rich as they are numerous. It is peppered with fascinating sidebars. You can dip into it as a reference and find just what you need (assuming you have a foundation in soil science). Even after I moved on to advanced coursework in soils, I found myself referring back to this.
If you have been assigned a soils text for a class, do not go with the abridged version of this, Elements of the Nature and Properties of Soils. It is 1/2 the book for 3/4 of the price (and at discounters the books are priced identically). If you plan to continue studies in the natural sciences, you will want this unabridged version. It's indispensable.
Good informative book will teach you a lot about soil.......2005-08-09
I first bought this book when we bought a property with trashed-out soil. I've since grown attached to this book, which I find myself referring to. It's clearly written, well organized, and covers so much information. I really think that you can't go wrong with this book, if you want to know about soil (be warned: it doesn't really cover soil microbiology, the living aspect of soil - I'd recommend the book by Robert Tate III; the copy I have is Soil Microbiology 2nd Ed. (c) 2000)
With that said - I've gone through other books but haven't found one that I'd compare to this one. It's just really well done.
Simply excellent.......2005-07-09
The first time I ran into this book was at the public library, while serching reference material for my daughter's science project. I found the book so helpful that I checked it out again for my own use. The third time I said: "I have to have my own copy." The 13th edition is now on its way.
A Fun, Readable, and Thorough Introduction to Soil Science.......2002-06-12
My "Science of Soils" class at Stanford University (Autumn '01) used "The Nature and Properties of Soils" as our main textbook. It is clearly written, easy to read, and has lots of helpful figures (including graphs, diagrams, drawings, and black-and-white and color photos). The chapters are well organized, so that you can find exactly what you need to know. The authors include hundreds of websites for those who want more information, and make the book more readable by starting off each chapter with a quote and a "big picture" statement.
"The Nature and Properties of Soils" has a good mix of theoretical and practical information. Wherever possible, the authors do sample calculations and describe applications for agriculture, ecology, and engineering. They thoroughly cover every major topic in soil science, as well as delving into some more specialized ones (for example, symptoms of micronutrient deficiencies in plants).
In conclusion, I've found this textbook to be both very information-rich and very readable, and highly recommend it. (The other day I caught my boyfriend, who's a materials engineer, reading it for fun... that's about the highest accolade any textbook can get!)

Good for basic anatomy.......2006-11-10
Got this book for a college level human anatomy course. Compared with other similar level anatomy books this one ranks high. Generally easy to read and interesting enough to keep one reading. Overall its an anatomy book and as such it should provide a good overview of human anatomy with just enough physiology to keep one interested in the material and provide a greater insight into what it is your learning, thereby helping to keep the material relevant and easy to recall. And as such this book meets expectations.
human anatomy.......2005-09-21
The book was lost in the mail. I, however, received a full refund on my purchase. I did receive the atlas that went with it.
One of the best text books I've read yet..........2002-10-21
I have the new 5th edition. As a nursing student this text has been extremely easy to read and understand the concepts. It keeps you interested in the information with practical examples and lively dialogue and includes helpful memory tips. It also comes with a cd-rom and access to a web site that really help you study and review the material. My only complaint is the chemistry chapter (Chpt. 2) is a little long and dry but then that is probably due to the subject matter and not the author. I would highly recommend it to anyone!
Anatomy.......2000-04-05
Good book for the basics. Very helpful for those who wouldlike to learn more about basic anatomy.
anatomy in a few words.......2000-04-05
This book was verey good for many of the areas that I wanted to learn about. It did lack a little in the basics and in defining word roots. over all this was one of the better anatomy books that I have used.
Book Description
The student-friendly style of the book makes the content accessible without sacrificing either breadth or depth of coverage. The text's informal writing style, emphasis on problem solving, and state-of-the-art media package make this book an ideal fit at schools with large class sizes and a wide range of student abilities and backgrounds. The authors' goal was to create a complete package (text + media + supplements) which would challenge the better-prepared students and provide support to the lesser prepared students, giving ALL students a chance to succeed. 4e welcomes a new co-author Fred Senese, Frostburg State University, the creator of the award-winning General Chemistry Online and Ask Antoine (the most hit general chem web resource in the world with over 15 million hits/year). In addition to creating the new Brady/Senese website, he has also worked with Jim Brady to do significant revisions in the text.
Customer Reviews:
excellent text.......2005-01-17
This textbook is an excellent way to learn chemistry. It provides very nice graphics to explain the text. This text makes learning chemistry very enjoyable and interesting. Senese and Brady did a wonderful job with this book. I highly recommend it.
this text does stand out from the pack..........2004-03-13
...in a number of ways. The chapter on stoichiometry is the first one I flip to when I'm evaluating a new text. This book does a better job of providing a conceptual foundation for the mole concept than any other book I've seen. It shows the rationale behind the concept by working a few simple problems with and without moles. The problem setups emphasize strategic thinking by asking students to identify the 'critical link' that connects given information with the problem's goal. The "Is the answer reasonable" checks given with each problem are more detailed and more helpful than in other texts; they help students develop a sense for what is and isn't reasonable in the answer, using alternative back-of-the-envelope solutions that often provide additional insight into the nature of the problem.
The chapter on atomic structure is the only one I've seen that uses the central idea of quantum mechanics (wave-particle duality) as its central theme. It elegantly uses the de Broglie relation to tie wave and particle behaviors together, in the process naturally explaining where quantum numbers come from and why changes in electron confinement in a reaction can lead to color changes.
The thermodynamics chapter is also quite innovative, discarding the idea of entropy as a measure of disorder and instead stressing its connection with the number of ways a state can be realized. A simple model of heat flow from a hot object to a cold object makes the connection between probability and process spontaneity clear.
The approach for explaining and predicting molecular shapes is much better than that used in other texts, where students end up memorizing a large table of molecular shapes. This text starts by showing how electron domains arrange themselves the central atom, and then visualizes how the molecular geometry changes as bonding domains are replaced with nonbonding domains, one at a time. Students see the underlying idea without getting lost in a mass of detail and special cases.
I also like the "Thinking it through" problems at the end of each chapter, that emphasize critical and strategic thinking rather than simply getting a numerical answer. Ebbing and Chang don't have this feature. The "Test of facts and concepts" are cumulative tests that students can use to synthesize material from several chapters; I haven't seen another text with this feature, either.
a chemistry book for all science purposes.......2004-03-12
THIS BOOK IS A GREAT GUIDE FOR ANY STUDENT WHO WANTS TO LEARN CHEMISTRY AND ALSO A GREAT GUIDE FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO PREPARE3 THEM SELVES FOR WHAT'S AHEAD AT UNIVERSITY.
Best in itself.......2003-09-11
I have read older editon of this textbook. Older 3rd edition (1988). But it still stands tall among couple of other chemistry books on my shelf. No other book can match the style and elegance of Brady's book IMHO.
There are a lot of books out there maybe more detailed. But Brady's is the one that explain why certain concept is important, how they were discovered and by whom they were developed. Instead of starting explaining each key concenpts in Chemistry, Brady's always start with how previous researchers reached the theory at that time period. And how we can relate them in terms of our current understanding of this wonderful of chemistry.
If Brady didn't lose any his touch, I am 100 % sure and can gaurantee this newer edition will follow its earlier edition's tradition. Even if your course doesn't require this book as a text, go grap one. If you can't afford newer one, go buy old edition. They are still a classic and in fact I am still using 1988 edition.
Very conceptual, not very mathematical.......2001-11-29
When I used this textbook, I was looking for a mathemtical/engineering approach to chemistry. This textbook, however, explains concepts with examples but little or no scientific proofs. I found myself filling in proofs from other courses like thermodynamics and science of materials. Overall, a very thorough book, but heavy on the memorization, and light on math and graphs.

Customer Reviews:
Great Book for Targeted Learning.......2007-10-03
The CISA exam is written in a way to reflect the choices an auditor faces. What's best, what's the most preferred, etc., tend to be the types of questions one faces. (The CISA exam is not going to ask the test sitter, what is the best in a given environment, as that would be too ridiculous to measure.) As such, people often find the test confusing, because they want to read too much into the questions.
I picked this book up the week before the CISA exam and targeted my reading toward those areas in which I had the least experience (e.g. SDLC, etc) and I passed. That was it! Although not perfect, the book is readable and focused. There are some decent example questions at the back of the book that will prepare one for the types of questions on the test.
Good CISA study guide.......2007-09-11
This book is easy to read and it helps to study for the exam especially if you have CISA exam question CD.
I highly recomend it (and exam question CD too).
Good book, used it and passed Dec 2006 Exam. I am a CISA thanks to this book.......2007-08-15
Good book, used it and passed Dec 2006 Exam on my first attempt. I am a CISA, thanks to this book.The details are just what you need, the authors a did a good job, i recommend it to my brother and friends for Dec 07 Exams, and i talk about it to whoever care to listen.
A book does not need to be a hard core to be good, simple easy and straight forward that is why i like it. it gives you the details,it is a good manual.
Used it to pass the June 2007 exam.......2007-08-10
I just found out that I passed the June 2007 exam. I used 2 items to study.
This book and the question and answer database from ISACA.
First, do not try to use this book alone.
Second, dont even waste your time with the practice questions at the end of the chapter. You will never see questions like those on the exam.
Third, I would recommend the question and answer database. You will see questions like those on the exam.
After using this book and the Q&A database, the test was not that hard. I was not surprised by any questions.
Good study guide, but not enough for the exam.......2007-06-23
I took the exam two weeks ago and did really good. I would recommend studying ISACA's CISA review questions in addition to this book. Reading this book alone will not help you pass the exam. The concepts are well explained but the questions in the book are nothing like the ones in the exam.
Good luck

Great Historical Fiction for Kids!.......2007-02-18
This book was a perfect novel to illustrate the perils of war, and the American Revolution for my fifth grade class. I used it as the middle level novel for my American Revolution literature circles. It worked extremely well, and I felt my average readers got as much out of our studies as my advanced readers who were able to read a more challenging novel. I highly recommend this book.
A Book Filled With Adventure.......2007-01-18
Tolivers secret is a book full of adventure. In this story Ellen Toliver is asked to deliver her grandfathers message. If it falls in the wronge hands it would be disastrous.Along Ellens journy she comes to close incounters with Red Coats, animals and her idenity being uncovered. This is the perfect book for people who like adventure, exitment and stunningly written books. This book made me relise alot of things about the revolutionary war. don't turn down a opportunity to read this book!!!!!

Toliver's Secret
*****
I am not a big fan of historical fiction novels, but there were a few which I enjoyed reading and Tolivers Secret was one of them. What I liked about this book was that there was always somthing going on. My favorite part of the book was when Elen found out that inorder to not let her grandfather down she had to do somthing she was not that comfortable doing. Anyway if you ever need to read a historical fiction novle, Tolivers secret is a book you will definatley a book you will enjoy. Alot of people that I know who have read this book enjoyed it . I will recomend this book to anyone exept people who like boring historical fiction novels.
Toliver's Secret.......2007-01-18
"Toliver's Secret" is a book about a young girl named Ellen Toliver, whose grandfather sprained his ankle the day he had to deliver a important message to George Washington in New Jersey. So Ellen delivered the message for her grandfather with a little encouragement.
"Toliver's Secret" is an amazing book, and if you like adventure then this is a good book for you. An example of it is when Ellen has to dress up as a boy and make it through the British lines . A different example is when she had to get out of a farm house or have her secret revealed. Like I said before, it is a great book and almost any one will like it.
Toliver's Secret Book Review.......2007-01-18
Toliver's Secret is a book that will have you at the edge of your seat! Ten-year-old Ellen Toliver (the main character) goes on many adventures in this beyond belief historical fiction book. For example,--- Ellen is asked to complete a mission for her grandfather because he is injured the day of the mission. She has to complete this mission so General Washington gets an important message that will change the war.
I give this book a five star review because of the cliffhangers at the end of each chapter that make you want to read forever. Also the great character Ellen that pulls this outstanding, adventurous, amazing, inspiring book together.- I highly recommend this book to any historical fiction lovers.

Excellent.......2007-09-30
The latest Kirks is much more in line with the 921. This is great for test-takers that are studying for certification, CEU's etc. Was very confusing to study such varying differences in information. The 6th edition and recent revision of 921 are now an easier mesh.
Picking up the NEW editon was easy through amazon................2007-05-12
However, although I've been purchasing various items through amazon for quite a while now, I did not read the procedures fully and I received 2 - orders of this Kirks Book due to my own mistake. I purchased one from the amazon marketplace and then went to my shopping cart to add another item - and did so. Somehow, through the process I did a one-click order through amazon and also did another order through the marketplace. It worked out fine since a co-worker - friend needed the same book, but I did learn to read the directions thoroughly before ordering. Also, i've never quite understood the "Free Shipping" offers - I guess I'll have to read that better, too!
comprehensive book .......2007-01-12
The book is very valuable, especially for those working in the field of investigation of fires and I advise any person employed in the investigation of fires and explosives have a copy of it. It explains all the points on in the fire. In the end, I would like to say about the book, it is comprehensive book in the investigation of fires.

Book Description
Juggling a family and a career is never easy—and it's becoming a real challenge for Sheriff Joanna Brady. Coping with the impending delivery of her second child as well as a staff shortage, the last things Joanna needs are two serious crimes.
First, the body of an unidentified man is found in the desert, all of his fingers savagely severed. Following the scant clues, Joanna learns that the victim was an ex-con who had served twenty years in prison after confessing to the murder of his pregnant wife. During his last days he was seen following and photographing a young woman.
Then one of Joanna's officers is brutally attacked and left for dead while on an unau-thorized stakeout. Because the officer is one of its own, the department throws its resources into finding her attacker.
But the murder haunts Joanna. Being a sher-iff is no longer an empty position she wants to hold—somehow it has become what she is. Her job is to avenge man's inhumanity toward man, and finding out who the victim was and why he is dead is what she has been summoned to do with her life. Strapping on a bulletproof vest, she'll risk everything to see that justice is done.
Customer Reviews:
Nothing much explained........2007-08-27
What happened? An innocent man is railroaded by an inept police department and an uncaring judge, our pregnant lady sheriff is totally lacking in backbone as she takes much guff from a deputy, her mother, her mother-in-law and her teenage daughter, there is way too much left hanging, less about the in laws and the dogs and more about how the bad guy managed to do all that he did or was it someone else?
Dead Wrong was Dead Right! Strong Female Character!!.......2007-08-23
I rate a book highly if when the book ends, I wish that it would continue. Dead Wrong left me with this feeling. It was very supportive to women being able to do anything even 8 3/4 month pregnant!! I enjoyed it very much.
Enjoyed.......2007-08-09
I really enjoy the Joanna Brady series and try to read them all. This one did not disappoint.
My first book by her and not my last.......2007-07-29
This is the first book PERIOD that I have read by J.A. Jance and I was not disappointed. I will definitely read some of her other novels. She seems to be a good writer who releases subtle social messages while telling a story. Many of the social messages I don't agree with and some I do...either way, it makes one ponder more than just the plot.
A pleasure to read my first novel in her series.......2007-07-19
I grabbed this one at the airport on a flight out and had it done by the time I landed. A fast read that was entertaining. I actually appreciated the side character of Joanna's husband. His quick wit kept a lightness to a book that covers many darker areas. From the possibly wrongly convicted, to hidden relationships, illegal dog fighting rings and long family history, it was a good mix.
Keep your eyes open or a chart to keep up with all the characters. She has many names being thrown around tying the story together and I flipped back a couple times to make sure I had them straight.
I look forward to picking up another one soon from this author no matter if it is in the series or not.
