I found the shipping time to be excellent and rapid. There were no problems with this seller. I would use this seller again

Book was in great shape and was soon in my mail box.
Thanks.

This book is more for the practitioner.
It has some great information on NAET treatment however, with good style and paperwork for record keeping for other's as well that are interested in dealing with their allergies

I was recommended to "Dr.Devi" by my older sister, who was treated for severe food allergies through NAET. I've been a patient for over a year now, and this book really helps you understand the process and encourages you through your journey of better health.

This is an outstanding book and used by the Dr. we are seeing for our kids now. We purchased the book and it was also provided by the Dr. as a reference for us to keep. I would recommend reading this guide book as that is exactly what it is a guide book. Providing the information you require going forward with knowledge.

Good reference for serious swimmers that are looking for comprehensive information on every aspect of the sport. Easy to read and well orgainzed. Highly recommended. Inclusions of more examples of how the author trains the elite athletes and illustrations of his methods in specific programs will make the book even better.

The book has some excellent pieces of information about dryland training. The parts which were a necessity with my swimmers were the rotator cuff prevention strategies. As an ASCA Level III swim coach and an NSCA-CSCS I find myself gaining new ideas from this book.

Don't think it's ONLY about dryland. There are some strength and power building exercises that the author advocates bringing to the pool. For example, using a medicine ball, or elastic tubing in the water to generate power through a specific range of motion for the stroke or for the core.

The DVD was an excellent addition to the book, and many of the exercises are shown in standard form. Variations of the exercises for more difficulty or simplicity are also added throughout the book. The author does not give you a set workout plan, so if you are new to periodizing I would suggest: "Championship Swim Training" by Bill Sweetenham. The book does not go into detail about sprint vs. middle vs. distance training methodology. I think I was expecting a little more info on that.

But if you are a swimmer, a swim coach, a strength trainer, of a sports conditioner who's involved with a population of athletes who swim, I would suggest buying this book and using it as a reference and incorporating some of the things into your programming.

I coach high school swimming and we've been building our dryland program for a few years. This book has really focused our work and I'm looking forward for some big results this winter.

I'm a masters swimmer inspired by Dara Torres. This book provides a smart and thorough approach to swim conditioning. It helps you to identify weak areas and includes great exercises (for in and out of the pool).

I am really enjoying this book. Very clear explanations and the included DVD shows many exercises performed so nothing is ambiguous. I like that they included exercises in different categories including warm ups, core strengthening, stroke specific and stretches.
He explains about the different energy systems and amazingly I can understand it!!
It is a pleasure to read and I know that I will be referring to it for many years to come. Some of the exercises I knew of and have been doing for a few months but another thing that I like about this book is that it shows intermediate and advanced forms of many of the exercises which I never knew about.

The contemporary real estate market has left a wake of uncertainty in the minds of many investors. Though risk is inherent in any investment decision, the real estate market reflects real-world conditions as well as individual perception of market conditions.

The Complete Guide to Real Estate Options: What Smart Investors Need to Know - Explained Simply is a non-nonsense guide to a specific type of real estate transaction: the real estate lease option. As explained by Steven Fisher, the book's author, the lease option is a lower-risk approach. As contrasted against the real estate purchase option, the lease option requires less money and limits exposure to the risks associated with property ownership.

The Complete Guide offers strategies for researching, marketing and developing the necessary attributes to become a successful entrepreneurial investor. It also gives templates for sample letters and exercises that help build the skills required to build your own real estate business. The Complete Guide is a must for anyone interested in being successful in today's real estate market. It is a practical read as well as a handy reference for lease option investing. An added benefit: the publisher is donating a portion of their profits to the Humane Society, on behalf of the passing of their beloved office canine, Bear.

Having always wanted to make a fortune in property I've just bought my first house. But I wish I'd read this book before hand! It would have given me a tonne of knowledge about my options in property and I may have made a different decision.

What I liked most about the book was that it really did assume no prior knowledge - it even started with a whole bunch of guides on how to get motivated and set goals and prepare yourself, before you even make your first step. Plus including things like real estate market psychology takes it beyond boring old numbers and statistics!

"The Complete Guide to Real Estate Options: What Smart Investors need to Know - Explained Simply" by Steven D. Fisher is an astoundingly easy to read book. It provides step by step guidance to becoming a savvy real estate investor and especially in view of the Lease Option Strategy. This book has everything a consumer needs to know. Fisher covers both the advantages and the disadvantages of the Lease Option Strategy. The book also covers every aspect of what it takes to become a successful Real Estate Proprietor ranging from the importance of developing and maintaining the right attitude to becoming a wise and successful landlord.

Fisher teaches you how to effectively get started as a new investor and how to avoid legal drawbacks by following steps to comprehensively set goals as you manage your business and property. You will learn the importance of organization in every area of your life in relation to success; from managing your credit properly to organizing your office. You will even learn how to organize and apply a successful "action plan."

"The Complete Guide to Real Estate Options" teaches the real estate student how to build a rapport by using exercises that will help you to become a success in the real estate arena.

This book, chapter by chapter will inspire any up and coming investor and even a seasoned investor to acquire his or her goals more quickly and easily. If you're looking for a good book that will teach you the ins and outs about real estate investing, this is the book for you. I give this book two thumbs up and without doubt a 5-Star rating.

If you've been tempted to invest in real estate but the jargon, the paperwork and the cost seem a little scary, pick up a copy of Steven D. Fisher's handy book. This well-written volume offers a clear and concise picture of some of the basic tools you'll need to gain a foothold in the field. Whether your goal is to purchase just one investment property or create a massive portfolio, Fisher offers an understandable, common-sense approach to buying real estate.

He begins by explaining both the advantages and disadvantages of real estate lease options, a method that allows potential buyers to invest only a fraction of their funds in a property. The examples provided by the author allow beginners to visualize how the process works. One of his most valuable chapters offers readers the opportunity to create their own "action plan," which outlines all the goals they seek to accomplish. Planning is key, Fisher advises, along with a positive attitude and the willingness to learn more about changes in the real estate market. Don't overlook basics like knowing your financial limitations and credit rating before you attempt to invest.

But, Fisher does more than walk the reader to the front door of that new property. Once your purchase is complete, he takes you inside by explaining how to work with repairmen, how to find good tenants, and also provides an inside look at relevant matters such as taxes and maintaining your property. So, whether you're a newcomer to the field or someone who wants to brush up on investment techniques, let this clearly-written practical handbook be your guide.

One could well imagine Mr. Stephen Fisher, author of The Complete Guide to Real Estate Options What Smart Investors Need to Know - Explained Simply sitting down to write this book and applying many of the principles he's about to articulate to the production of the book itself.
Aided by quotes from a variety of well-known personalities (Mark Twain, Warren Buffett, Tiger Woods, et al), Mr. Fisher sets out an exhaustive, step-by-step plan for anyone who is now, or ever has considered real estate investment as the best way to make a living. He does so very meticulously and with a great deal of attention to detail. Chapter headings and indeed, much of the text could be applied to starting any kind of business, or, as noted, to writing a book about starting any kind of business: Attitude is Everything (Chapter 2), Getting Started (Chapter 4), Some Basic Principles (Chapter 5).
It is clear from reading carefully that Mr. Fisher has done his homework in the field of real estate options and in particular, believes that the `lease option' is the best way for investors to go. With over 25 years of experience in the fields of business writing and training and development, it should come as no surprise that he has crafted an excellent instruction book on the ins and outs of buying and selling real estate. He has included interactive options for the practical entrepreneur, like check lists, and blank forms that the reader can use to track his/her own progress, whether it be in evaluating a property, the neighborhood that it's in or the buyers who want to own it.
He uses clever acronyms to crystallize reader thinking about specific subject matter. In an early section about "setting goals," he suggests that the reader/entrepreneur utilize the "SMART" method of creating those goals - Specific, Measurable, Action-Oriented, Realistic and Time-Bound. Near the conclusion of his book, he recommends that those seriously interested in pursuing real estate investment "SWOT" themselves; in other words conduct an objective analysis of individual Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats.
His style is very casual, very confident and well within the grasp of an average reader. Fisher isn't speaking to experienced professionals here, although even the most seasoned of those could likely find a great deal of food for thought here as they continue their pursuit of real estate deals. He's talking to the person who's considering this particular career path and if it's one that interests you, you could do no better than to start with him and this book.
Take notes. There isn't a quiz later, but if you head out on the route he's plotted for you, you're going to want to look back and remember some of the specifics

Despite its title, "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Getting and Owning a Dog," isn't for idiots at all. Instead, people who buy it will be savvy dog owners with a plethora of information at their fingertips. I hope people will buy this book before they buy their dog.

This new book by Sheila Webster Boneham is an especially good one for those who have never owned a dog before, or who may have had a dog, but who didn't explore all the facets of dog ownership. She offers a lot of suggestions about what to consider before getting a dog.

She covers everything from selecting a breed that fits your lifestyle, to what supplies you need to get when you bring your pet home. In a chapter on "Size and Other Big Decisions," she asks the important question, "What do you want from your dog?" Many people don't consider this before they bring that cute puppy home, yet the answers will determine whether you have a dog you love, but don't like, or have the perfect canine soul mate.

Boneham handles potentially controversial topics -- like vaccinations and feeding methods -- fairly and objectively. So new owners are aware of the pros and cons, and more importantly where and how to get more information.

Her chapter on "What Every Dog Should Know" has good advice on training and reinforcement. She urges her readers to take their dogs to at least one good obedience class. There is a helpful list suggesting how to tell if an instructor is qualified to teach the class. One suggestion is to not be shy about asking the instructor what her credentials are. As an obedience instructor, I would love to have someone ask me this, because it gives me a chance to brag about my dogs, and the dogs of former students.

A special gem of information is in a section on "Living with more than one dog."

"If you try to apply human ideas about equality and fairness to your family of dogs, you create confusion. For instance, if you try to treat the dogs equally and you alternate who gets a treat first 'to be fair' you undermine the dominant or alpha dog's position. In a pack, the alpha eats first, gets the best bed and controls the resources. If your alpha dog is hogging the chewy toys and you take them from him and divvy them up, you again undermine his position."

So many people do not understand this concept, so it is especially valuable to have it explained in this book for new dog owners.

There's also a nice chapter on canine medical emergencies, including what to include in a first aid kit.

The jacket notes indicate that Boneham competes in a variety of dog sports with her dogs, and does dog-assisted therapy as well. This experience comes through in her well-written book.

All in all, this is a terrific book, at a great price, and one I can heartily recommend to new dog and puppy owners.

A must read for every dog owner, and future dog owner. Consider it to be a course in Introductory Dog 101. Simple, yet it works. Wish it had been there, when my first dog joined our household. Would have saved many anxious moments, plus the rugs. Arlene Millman, author of BOOMERANG - A MIRACLE TRILOGY (The tale of a remarkable Boston Terrier).

Actually this is a great book to have if you plan on getting a dog or you already own a dog. Easy to read and understand. It covers everything from A-Z on caring for your dog from a young puppy to the senior citizen. I will recommend this book to all my puppy, basic and advance students.

This book is must for every potential or real dog owner's bookshelf! Ms. Boneham does an excellent job of helping you through the steps of choosing and living with your dog. The book is an excellent source of of information itself and includes many references, both on the Web and otherwise. In the future, this book will be part of all my puppy's going-to-their-new-home bag.

It's always fascinating that the ancient teachers were able to define human traits and characters in nine major portraits. It's even more fascinating that in this roller coaster world of high stress, their findings are still spot on. The Power of the Enneagram is an easy read and easily comprehended. If your life involves interacting with people, it's a great assistant in paving the way to understanding what personalities you are dealing with. A highly useful gift for young people going out into the world.

Enjoyed ready this book. I have read many enneagram books, that get very involved and deep into the enneagram. I was looking for something that could explain the enneagram to someone who had never heard about it. This book described the types in simple easy to use conversational language. It gets down to the basics and was extremely helpful in sorting your type. Enjoyed reading it cover to cover. It also offered great tips for growth for each of the types and also included coaching the enneagram types.

I've read many Enneagram books over the past few years and this is one of my favorites along with Riso-Hudson's "Wisdom of the Enneagram." Don't let the title containing "Complete Idiot's Guide" dissuade you away from this book. Herb's book goes much more in depth than one might think and covers many aspects of importance to me: helping to indentify your type--especially if you are unsure, spiritual aspects, area for growth for each type, and especially the instinctual subtypes. Your instinctual subtype will help you with some of your deepest challenges. The sections on relationships and career are also really informative and helpful.

I think what tops it all off is that this book is so fun and entertaining to read while being packed with useful information. I've already referred back to it on numerous occasions.

"The Complete Idiot's Guide to the Power of the Enneagram" is a notable rundown on the Enneagram personality system. Herb Pearce and Karen Brees do an outstanding job enlightening the reader on the subject of the Enneagram and clearly explaining the nine types; noting that one number isn't better than any other number when balanced. Balancing and paying special attention to your negative aspects while accentuating your positive traits are spelled out nicely in this book.

The questionnaire at the end of the book can help you determine what `outta the' nine Enneagram types you are!. I personally have found that more than ever this typology has helped me become a more compassionate person. A pertinent quote I enjoyed: "You are all nine types at various times".

I would recommend this book to the beginner as well as those who are more knowledgeable regarding the Enneagram system.. In the personal growth section I liked the advice given for a number 4 (since I have a couple of #4 friends) "Just because you think it, doesn't mean that it's true".

All in all "The Complete Idiot's Guide to the Power of the Enneagram" was attention-grabbing, insightful and fun to read. Using this book (in my opinion as a #9) can offer significant opportunities assisting in self discovery and wisely guiding you in all your relationships.

I'd like to ad that Herb Pearce is a leading expert in the Enneagram and his workshops are enlightening and fun-filled.

Simple, accessible, useful, compelling and, at the same time sophisticated. Unlike many, this guide values every fixation, sees what is profound and essential in each of the nine. Where others seem to view 4, 5 and 9 as weak--each in its own way; 6 as periferal with a greater than average tendency to dis-ease, 1 as overly fastidious, 2 as pandering, 7 as shallow but happy, 3 and 8 as the only sources of power and leadership; this book shows what is valuable and powerful in each of the points. A joy of discovery and revelation.

Like a great who-dun-it, you will become engrossed in "A Conspiracy of Silence." Thanks to the diligence of Harry S. Goldsmith, MD, we find out how the health of President Franklin D. Roosevelt had a great impact on the United States of America. Dr. Goldsmith made it his quest to uncover the truth and spent many, many years digging through files, asking questions, and researching the past.

Did those in the inner-circle, including the President, have the information that in 1944 FDR was a dying man? How did this knowledge benefit those lobbying for the nomination of Harry S. Truman for the vice presidency? While reading this exceptional investigation, I became engrossed in the past. Although I was not born until many years later, I reveled in becoming familiar with Roosevelt. He was a President who was greatly loved by the American people.

I am normally not a very political person, but given our current situation in America, I feel that the last paragraph in the closing chapter speaks to the entire American population: "This story began in 1963 after my hearing Dr. Pack lecture on "The Impact of Illness on World History." The journey of discovery regarding Franklin Delano Roosevelt's health revealed how great an impact an American president's medical condition can have on the well-being of the country and the world, and how powerful politicians can step into a void created by an ailing world leader in order to chart their own favorable political goals. Since history has a way of repeating itself, it is important that we remember these concerns."

With that thought in mind, "A Conspiracy of Silence: Impact on History: The Health and Death of Franklin D. Roosevelt" is a book that really hits home to all Americans. Each and every one of us should thank Harry S. Goldsmith, MD, for dedicating years of his life researching to make us all aware of the impact our decisions make on the future.

This is the best book published on the death of FDR in the last 10 years! The research is outstanding and Dr. Goldsmith leaves no stone unturned in reviewing all of FDR's health problems. Some of his findings are most interesting and suggest future lines of inquiry. His inclusion of the Joe Leib incident and the material on how and why Truman was picked as Vice-President makes this truly a real page-turner. Couldn't put this down. My highest recommendation.

This is one of the best books I have read in a long time and I read a lot of history books. No matter how one feels about Roosevelt as a politician, anyone should find this interesting. It is obvious that an amazing amount of research went into it.

Dr. Goldsmith has written a brilliant, gripping, and most welcome addition to the history of the last century, world war, and towering 4-term President FDR. It is as captivating as the best mystery thriller, and yet it is too true to be good.... The author martials his medical--and surgical--skills to present a vivid revelation of how illness, cover-ups, and politics can reshape history. It is as timely now as ever!

I am always fascinated by, and perhaps a little envious of, individuals who have achieved great success in one career and branch out to further accomplishment in another. Dr. Harry Goldsmith is a world-renowned surgeon and the author of many medical textbooks and articles on surgery. He is also a medical historian who for decades has studied the health of Presdient Franklin Roosevelt, particularly during the final year of his life. Goldsmith's book, "Conspiracy of Silence" (2007)explains the results of Goldsmith's long study. But the book is almost as valuable for documenting Goldsmith's search for information about Roosevelt's final year and the difficulties he encountered, as it is for his conclusions.

Before he announced his decision to seek a fourth term in 1944, rumors were rampant about Roosevelt's failing health. His personal physician, Admiral Ross McIntyre, assured the nation that Roosevelt was healthy. Dr. McIntyre and others greatly understated the extent of Roosevelt's health problems. Goldsmith's book confirms what other historians have suggested: Roosevelt was dying, and knew he was dying, when he decided to seek a fourth presidential term. He died within 90 days of beginning his fourth term, making the relatively untried Harry Truman the new president.

As a young surgeon, Goldsmith became interested in Roosevelt's health in 1963, upon hearing a lecture by his mentor, Dr George Pack. In his book, Goldsmith describes the many individuals he interviewed over the course of the years to try to find documentary evidence about Roosevelt's health. Goldsmith's efforts led to many blind alleys and to people reluctant to help him, but he persevered. In 1979, Goldsmith published an article titled "Unanswered Mysteries in the Death of Franklin Roosevelt" that documented the results of his owngoing investigation in a highly respected medical journal.

A great deal of Goldsmith's book is about document retrieval. One of the parts of Goldsmith's story that impressed me was his attempt to secure documents from the FBI under the Freedom of Information Act. I have experience with this statute and can understand from his account the frustration he felt. Goldsmith's major discovery, after years of effort, involved a document known as the Lahey memorandum, prepared by a a distinguished physician and founder of the Lahey clinic, Dr Frank Lahey, who had examined Roosevelt in 1944. Goldsmith spent four years in litigation with two highly respected Boston law firms to secure a memorandum Lahey had written regarding his examination of Roosevelt. Ultimately, the Massachusetts Supreme Court ruled in Goldsmith's favor and a photocopy of the memorandum was begrudgingly produced. The Lahey Memorandum, dated July 10, 1944, indicates that Lahey had examined Roosevelt and discussed the results of the examination with the President and with Admiral McIntyre. Lahey advised the president that he was suffering from severe heart failure and that he was highly unlikely to survive a fourth term. He advised the president against seeking a fourth term and, in the event the president chose to disregard this advice, to exercise great care in selecting his vice-president. Goldsmith's tenaciousness in securing this memorandum and making it public was an important accomplishment.

Beyond this valuable result, much of Goldsmith's book is speculative. Goldsmith concludes that Roosevelt believed he had to run, his poor health notwithstanding, to bring WW II to an end and to establish the United Nations. In spite of his health, there is much to be said for Roosevelt's decision. Goldsmith makes much of Roosevelt's poor health for his alleged concessions to Stalin at Yalta. This is a subject that has been explored extensively, of course, and the last word has not been said. But many historians believe that Roosevelt negotiated well and agressively at Yalta. They disagree markedly with the view of the Yalta conference as a sell-out to the Soviets that was advanced by conservative scholars. Goldsmith accepts this latter view without much criticism or evaluation. Thus he is much less firm in discussing the effect of Roosevelt's poor medical condition than he is in establishing the fact of it.

I had the same reaction in reading the second part of Goldsmith's book which deals with the nomination of Truman as vice-president. Roosevelt had picked Harry Wallace as his running mate in 1940 and appears to have wanted him to continue. Wallace, with his liberalism, was unpopular with much of the machinery of the Democratic party. A three-way contest developed between Wallace, James Byrnes, and Truman. As was his wont, Roosevelt sent out conflicting signals which, reading Goldsmith's account, remain highly ambiguous. Goldsmith speculates that Roosevelt had to assume a, for him, surprisingly passive role, because the party bosses threatened to expose to the public the precarious state of his health if Roosevelt insisted on keeping Wallace on the ticket. Goldsmith did not convince me of this.


Roosevelt and Truman were not well acquainted. Truman had an indistinguished first term as a Senator and had not endeared himself to Roosevelt when he had opposed the third term. As a result of political machinations, Goldsmith concludes, in the company of several other historians, Truman secured the nomination. The conclusion would seem to be that Roosevelt was highly lackadaisacal about the vice-presidential choice given his knowledge that his successor would almost surely assume the presidency. But Goldsmith's account left me unconvinced that we have the full story. In addition, as Goldsmith admits, "The historical machinations of Hannegan [chair of the Democratic National Committe, fromm Missouri, and a strong supporter of Truman] and Kelly [mayor of Chicago, where the convention took place] during the convention in 1944 resulted in geopolitical effects that are present to this day. History has shown that Truman was the right man that night in the summer of 1944." (p. 248) The decision to nominate Truman was fortuitous, perhaps, but it was also fortunate as Goldsmith realizes. With hindsight, it is difficult to see how the United States might have fared better upon Roosevelt's death under the presidency of Wallace or Byrnes.

Goldsmith has written an excellent account about his perseverance in locating the Lahey memorandum which does shed significant light upon Roosevelt's health during the last year of his life. In discussing Roosevelt's decision to seek a fourth term, the Truman nomination, and like matters, Goldsmith is on less firm ground, as his information appears incomplete and as he seems to rely unduly on speculation and overly circumstantial evidence.

Contraceptive Technology is a must-have reference for anyone interested in birth control. As a freelance medical writer/editor, I have used several revisions of this useful book over the years. I was very pleased when the long-awaited 19th revised edition was finally available. I had preordered the book directly from the publisher, who didn't follow through. Amazon, however, got me the book in record time.

A must have if you provide health care to women or have to answer questions about birth control.

I find this text an excellent source of easy to read information. Every method of birth control/contraception is covered, including fertility based methods, surgical procedures, etc. There is also applicable information in regards to women's health issues and sexuality. Another reviewer stated that this book needs an update; I've heard that another edition is coming out soon and I would imagine that it would include new methods that have become available since the publication of this edition.

I recommend this text to any women's health practitioner.

Great book in great condition for a great price and I got it in less than a week!
Will definitely use this vendor again!

This is an integral desk reference for the reproductive health educator. This text outlines all that there is to know to date about contraceptive methods and their function. I don't inted to part with this until the 19th edition is released.

Thank you so much for a nutshell version of contracts! It's all beginning to make sense now! I believe this book was key in helping me to pass this, not so much fun, class!

I got this book halfway through the semester when I realized I didn't understand anything that was going on in my contracts class. It's easy to understand and very helpful. The sample questions at the back were really useful, too. I haven't gotten my exam grade back yet, but I'm positive that this book helped me get a better grade than I would have received without it.

Some time around mid-semester, I was hopelessly lost and confused in my contracts last. In my despair, I bought this book. It opened up my eyes and lifted the fog of contracts for me. My final grade in the class was much better than I hoped for and I have to partly thank this book for that. The only thing keeping me from giving it 5 stars is that it is useful for bare bones knowledge of contracts, and shouldn't be used to replace attending class and taking good notes.

This book is as simple as it gets. Contract law is one of the more complex subjects in law school. Any material that adds complexity to an already challenging subject has little value especially to 1L's and even bar candidates. Understanding the basics of the subject is crucial. That is why this book stands out from the rest. I have read the casebook, a hornbook in this jurisdiction as well as various textbooks in a foreign jurisdiction. "Contracts in a Nutshell" gives the simplest explanation of the law by far. It is a must read indeed!

The book has an excellent presentation of the theory of contracts. The six main categories are described initially and explained in the ensuing text. These categories consist of:
1. Express contracts consisting of the standard offer-acceptance
and consideration trilogy
2. Implied in fact contracts distinguished by conduct rather than
by express words
3. Promissory estoppel referred to as detrimental reliance
4. Subsequent promises to perform pre-existing obligations
5. A minority theory of imposing liability based upon a subsequent promise to pay for material benefits previously conferred.
6. Implied in law quasi-contracts which are non-consensual obligations

The theory of an offer arouses an expectation in the mind of a
reasonable person. Such an expectation may create a power of
acceptance in the offeree. An offer must be sufficiently certain
to make any resulting agreement enforceable and damages calculable. The offer must be certain as to the parties, subject matter, price and time of performance. An offer in which the
offeror or offering party promises to do or not to do something in exchange for a promise by the offeree to act is an offer for
a bilateral or two-sided contract. Further details as to
bargained exchanges, the statute of frauds and a whole host
of complicating factors are set forth simply with a generous
sprinkling of stare decisis cases to illustrate the legal
points explained. The text will be helpful for law students,journalists, constitutional scholars and a whole host of
other constituencies in academe.

This text is a good supplement to the standard legal texts on contract law. It is well worth the price charged.

I have been considering a breast reduction for years. This book answered all of my questions so thoroughly that I almost didn't have any left for my plastic surgeon. My surgery went very well, and I am pleased with the outcome. Thanks for writing such a clear and informative book that answers the many questions women have concerning breast surgery.

This book gives you the facts, from a doctor who is ethical, descent, and talented. I have first hand experiemce as to Dr. Freund dedication, I know him, and this book is representative of how he practices and his strong and qualitative committment to his patients.

If you are considering breast surgery this book is essential.

I'm going through a difficult decision in regard to breast augmentation. I have now read this book twice. It's clear and helpful. The interesting aspect that Dr. Freund brought into the book that beauty is regional. What works in LA doesn't work in New York.

It's interesting, informative and I'm reading it again.

I bought all the books on cosmetic breast surgery, while researching my desire to have my breast lifted and enlarged, this book is by far the best, most informative and well- written. I also went on several consultations with different doctors and Dr. Freund was the most helpful and comforting physicians. His knowledge made me confident and the results were better than i hoped for. P.S. I travelled from North Carolina to see him and it was worth the trip.

Ladies if you are looking for a well-grounded expert on breast reconstruction, Dr. Freund is the best. From the second you walk into his office you know you are in good hands. I had a serious problem and he brought me through it with flying colors and compassion.

Read this book, you'll get something from it. He is the consumate professional and even more than that.

After looking through this book I needed my banky and nightlight for a week!!! Darren is truely one of the new horror masters. Can't wait for the next edition.

I was lucky enough to pick up this book from the artist himself at a horror convention, and get it signed!
Very nice horror themed artwork, can't wait til he has a color book of his artwork out! (Hint Hint - I hope one is on the way!)

Mr. Frydendall, I am simultaneously delighted and in mortal fear of your new book. I see a lot of horror artwork - piles of guts, mounds of skulls, and of course, the ubiquitous cute-goth evil grin murderer drawings by cheap hacks attempting to impress me with their knowledge of manga. You, sir, are more than capable of drawing a pile of guts, it is true, and mounds of skulls do appear more than once in your fine, but definitely evil work - but those mere staples are not what prompt me to write this warning.

Now, I'm a grown man, so I won't pretend that looking at your drawings has actually made me "scared," or "filled me with abject terror," caused me to "fill my pants," or any such thing. But they do have a certain quality - probably because they are the product of a diseased mind - by which I retain the images and carry them around with me for days afterwards, pondering their possibilities. Could I, even if I tried, manage to cram my hand into my own head in such a fashion? How long COULD a patient -er - victim withstand the "surgery" proscribed within? If I saw that face would I, in fact, lose my "mind?"

This is the crawl-under-scalp-and-sit-there kind of feeling that I'm not sure I enjoy. I believe you are tormenting me. Either you have an infernal power that must be stopped at all costs or - horror of horrors! You are merely broadcasting a signal to others who are as depraved as you are - and I have heard that call and only now recognize myself as the monster I truly am!

It's a real joy to finally have Darren's work in a portable, paperback tome. His linework is truly exceptional and the reproductions are top-notch. Highly Recommended for fans of ghastly horror illustration.

Remember that kid in your neighborhood when you were growing up...? The one that used to turn over every rock, peek into every gutter, hoping to find the sickest, gnarliest slimepatch/maggot orgy/decaying rat carcass, if only for the chance to show it to you in demented glee? Well, good news - that kid's all grown up now, and he's got a book of his fantastically icky, ghoulishly grotesque artwork to thrill you with. "The Creeps" collects some of Darren Frydendall's most putrid drawings from the past ten years, and all in a bite-sized, handsomely packaged paperback edition. If you're as big a gorehound as I know you are, you'll want to stick your fingers into this morbid mess again and again...
