I loved this book and liked the mix-ups about Cher and "Shar" you should read it.

This book was awesome!!!!!! I love it when Cher and De do makeovers, and it was cool how the story tied in with Frankentstein (dont worry, it isnt dorky, its awesome). This is a total must read!!!!!!!!!

I love these books!I's really funny how Cher talks using words like chronic,betty, baldwin,rampant,snaps,etc. and how she's always talking about her designer clothing.Aside from that,these are very humorous books.All of them are great!

another one of the best clueless books. i really enjoy reading it. and all you people out there, read this book!!!

Bought this book from an independent seller- arrived in perfect condition, as promised. Very informative and well written.

pretty pictures.

Thank you for your quick response for the book. It got here safe and in time.

I am having trouble leaving a review of my seller who gave me this item. She was very helpful in resolving an issue with the order of the book. The book was in great condition and she was very patient. This is an interesting book. If you would like to buy any used books I would recommend this seller delliwheel. She has more books in her inventory. It is important to have reliable, trustworthy, and direct service.

This was a great book that was in great condition. It arrived when they said it was going to be. I was very pleased.

The new edition offers the new MegaSkill RESPECT plus character and academic objectives for each MegaSkill, MegaSkills Report Cards for Parents and Children , internet resources and mommy blogs.

This book helps teachers and parents to understand the expectations that they should have for children at different times of life. We always what to know what we should expect from our children. This book helps us to set those goals in a realistic way.

Not only does this book advise one to teach children fundamental skills it tells one HOW to teach. It's not an overnight accompolishment, but it is the next best thing. This book gives clear, precise activities to do with you child on a normal persons schedule. I have found it relieves the guilt associated with not spending enough quality time with your children. It tells you what to do with them. It's so simple. I wonder why I didn't think of it.

This is an excellent book for parents to help them rethink the ways they can help their children develop those crucial character skills necessary to success. As a school principal I have one copy that has been loaned out numerous times to parents seeking help. Too bad that each child is not born with instructions tied to their toes. For young parents who are learning to become good parents or for parents seeking better ways to help their children develop good character traits, this book is very helpful.

The book works wonderfully as an outline for studying for exams. Each unit wraps up the textbook pretty succinctly and gives new understanding to some topics the text might not clearly explain. I will buy the rest of the series as I progress through my nursing program.

This book is an excellent resource for nursing students especially if you are needing practice with nclex style questions or focusing in on specific items to study. For instance, it has items tagged NCLEX and almost invariably these items ended up on most of my unit and final exams. With so much info to know this definitely helped me hone in on the most important pieces. It is written in outline format, it is easy to read and the extra test questions are excellent.

This book is great for reviewing Fundamentals of Nursing Freshman I (Level 1) Nursing. I used it to review for my final and for perioperative nursing. It has an outline, pre and post tests, as well as NCLEX questions and a CD with more questions. I just bought Medical-Surgical by the same author!!! I will probably buy the next set for L&D, Peds, and Psych if they have them available. Thank you for a wonderfully written study tool.

If you have to get ready for your NCLEX or just simply overview Nursing Fundamentals area - this book is a Bible of Fundamentals, short, easy to read and retain, perfect tool!
Thanks for your help, AUTHOR!

Great book about the Pilgrims with lots of historical detail about the different families. Cut-away of the Mayflower with labels and drawings of each of the passengers with their names, makes the story come to life.

I discovered Three Young Pilgrims by accident and had to have it. Beautifully told believable story that brings history alive for all ages and illustrations are detailed and excellent. I recommend it for ages 7 to 107!

This is a wonderful and informative book for children and adults that tells the story of the Allerton family as they travel to America. Readers will enjoy both the illustrations -- detailed cut-aways of the ships they sailed in -- and the text which does not mince words about the difficulties of the journey. For anyone who has relatives on the Mayflower, this is a lovely story of how our ancestors first came to this country. It reminds us of how brave they were.

Cheryl Harness has produced the most unusual gem of the Mayflower story that I have yet run across. The story, by adult standards is choppy in its progression, but is quite charming in its childlike perspective of the harshness that the pilgrims must have faced both on the Mayflower and in the founding of Plymouth including the time of the Thanksgiving feast. The story is sandwiched between pages that give interesting details of the ship, the voyage, and the people and events of the time that would be certain to satisfy the curious reader or listener. The artwork was beautifully illustrated in watercolor, gouache, and colored pencil and has been wonderfully reproduced in colored ink. This is both a wonderful holiday and historical book that should please all ages.

I bought this for one of my classes that was all about job hunting. I would definitly suggest buying it if your ready to seriously start career searching. It was more of a gateway introduction with a good amount of details about cover letters, resumes, and common-sense interview pointers. Its a smaller book so its easy to skim through and read. The only downside to this is that since its a smaller book, it wont go into great details about all the various topics. But after reading this book and ultimately finishing the class with it, I feel like I have a more in depth knowledge about finding the career I want. Having been through more than a dozen interviews in my own life, I was able to learn more than I thought.

This book was a required text for my Careers class in college, but I've found it to be a useful reference tool even now that I've graduated. It's really easy to read and give lots of great tips like how to write your resume, draft cover letters, succeed at interviews, even how to negotiate your salary. Plus, I love all the examples in the book. It's very helpful to see actual resumes and cover letters. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is entering the job market, whether he/she is a student just graduating or someone looking for a career change.

This book was required in one of my college career classes. I'm really glad it was. I learned more from this book than I would have from experience alone. This book is filled with all sorts of advice and facts about what employers are looking for and how to nail a job interview.

If you are looking for a job, or think you might be in the near future, this book is a must have. Any edge you can get on the other applicants is extremely important and this book will teach you how.

I found this book to be an essential tool when job hunting. It is clear and concise. It has essential guidelines for every aspect of looking for the right job. I highly recommend it to everyone.

William's short yet vivid essay on the events of 9/11 is a theological gem. While many clerics in mainline churches quickly jump on political bandwagons in crises like these, Williams offers profound theology which speaks directly to the soul. A must.

It is rare that one reads a book and finds one's self without words at the end; it is rare - for this reader, at least - to feel a need to re-read the conclusion of a book because something has been stated at the end that must be grasped but isn't on the first reading. It is rare that the conclusion of a book would be - again, for this reader - so utterly profound and unexpected that I simply sat in my local coffee shop, staring at the book that I was holding in my hands before I realized in my fog that I had to re-read Williams' conclusion. The breathing space that he pleads for in his conclusion comes unexpectedly; his reading of the story the Gospel of St. John was more than eye-opening: it was like an unexpected flash of light that left me momentarily dazed.

You can read this book in a single sitting as it is a short read. Williams begins with discussing his own time in New York when the towers were hit and subsequently fell; he then digresses a bit and discusses various ways of engaging - and not engaging - the problems raised by 9/11. It is interesting to read the perspective of someone who lives in the UK; this book was written before the USA invaded Iraq, but since the UK was the USA'a main ally in the "war on terrorism", one gets an insight into some of the discussions that were going on in the UK before the invasion.

Williams - thank God - is not a thinker who is easy to classify. He think outside of and beyond both "liberal" and "conservative" boxes (which Christianity, at its best, always does); if one may borrow a statement from Pope John Paul II, the Christian is to be a "sign of contradiction" to the secular world - and Williams gracefully is. His main concern in this book is to not merely request but to plead for some breathing space in the aftermath of the attacks. This breathing space is not necessarily pacifism and nowhere does Williams call for pacifism; he notes that there is a time for war. Yet, we must be equally on guard against any desire to find a scapegoat - be it a nation, a people, an ideology, whatever - so that we can again feel in control (especially when we aren't - and let's be honest: we never really are in control).

Yet, it is the way the book ends that implants it so deeply in my mind, heart and imagination. Williams offers a short reflection on a passage in the Gospel of John, when the adulterous woman is brought before Christ and before a crowd that is ready to stone her for her sin. What does Christ do? He writes in the dust. As Williams put it, this happens before both judgement and forgiveness; it is this writing in the dust that gives the chance for some of our demons "to walk away."

Like many of the Archbishop's other books, I highly recommend reading this one as well. Given the increased tension in the current political climate - which will only increase as the Presidential election nears - Williams' book is a good place to find that breathing space that exists on the doorstep of both judgement and forgiveness.

In this haunting and deeply meditative reflection, Rowan Williams has introduced a badly needed "breathing space" into the furious debate surrounding the events of 9/11. "Breathing space," in fact, is the central theme that runs through his little book--breathing space as a moment in which time seems to cease, we are caught in a void, and ordinary worries that involve self-concern and competition are momentarily suspended. Our general strategy is to rush to fill the void; humans (even if not nature) abhor a vacuum. But Williams encourages us to explore the void, to let it speak to us, to take time to explore its contours, and to allow ourselves the time to think deeply and honestly and compassionately about 9/11.

If we embrace the void--the break in our usual ways of thinking about the world--created by 9/11, we just might rethink our conventional attitudes to retaliatory violence, to heroism, to globalism, and to how we relate to strangers. These are the four themes Williams so provocatively explores. Retaliatory violence may give us the illusion of control, but it doesn't resolve the brokenness that gives rise to violent eruptions in the first place. Heroism, as displayed for example by fire fighters and cops in NYC on 9/11, is frequently anonymous and "ordinary," rather than the dramatic, fireworks-like military display our culture teaches us to crave. The global village has shrunk the world to such an extent that we can no longer deny that whatever we do in this country impacts the world and will bring consequences (deserved or not) back upon us. Consequently, we need to examine our conventionally bordered definitions of responsibility. Finally, people ought to be seen as they are in themselves, rather than as we symbolically recreate them to fit into our preconceived paradigms. Terrorists see Americans as spawn of the Great Satan; we see terrorists as agents of inexplicable, unprovoked evil. With these symbols hiding our true faces from one another, how can genuinely empathic dialogue begin\ between cultures and peoples?

If you're looking for quick solutions to the horror and grief that began (for Americans) on 9/11, this book isn't for you. But if you're in search of a companion who will help you reflect deeply on the implications of 9/11, read Williams. It might be especially instructive to compare his message to William Bennett's in the recently released *Why We Fight.* The two go in completely opposite directions.

In this small, meaningful text, `Writing in the Dust: After September 11', Archbishop Rowan Williams presents a quick and poignant response to the tragedy that befell not just America, but the entire world, on September 11, 2001. He happened to be in New York City at the time, at Trinity Church Wall Street, just a few blocks away from the devastation as the events took place. He wrote this book reflecting on his eyewitness accounts in the following few weeks. It is not an academic text, nor is it a programmatic text, but rather, it is an extended meditation, and a very personal account of grief, anger, and finally, hope.

It is near the end of the text that Williams highlights the story that immediately came to mind for me, and that is of Jesus writing in the dust as the crowd gathered to stone the prostitute. In the gospel of John, many different interpretations have been given to explain Jesus' curious actions in that story. Why did he write in the dust? What did he write?

Of course, dust was all around in New York City that day, the dust and grit of debris from the once proud towers and planes that became a symbol of terror and mortality. But writing in the dust, Williams says, is something perishable, too. Something that will not last. In the days following the attacks, America was ready for war. Had there been a clearly defined target and enemy, America surely would have gone to extraordinary lengths for revenge. The murkiness of the situation left America struggling to find an adequate response, a response still being debated, now years later.

A lot of talk in the past has focused upon the warlike nature of specific religions, countered by historical examples of our own cultures, religious and quasi-religious. This leads to accusation and counter-claim -- has it led to any real introspection on the part of our culture?

Of course, part of the problem with this introspection is that it is impractical for the most part. It also lacks the emotive power and emotional satisfaction of a call for vengeance. When people asked, as they continued to ask, where was God during those moments, theologians of every stripe struggle to find an answer that is at both emotionally and intellectually satisfying. Williams has elements of major modern theological schools in his own theology, including process theological ideas.

Williams continues beyond this to discuss the impact on those of us in the West who misinterpret the intentions of Muslim peoples, perhaps deliberately. He discusses a general worldview in which the virtues of the past, the 'just war' and the ideas of heroism and patriotism are in fact more fully exemplified in terrorists like Al-Qaeda and the IRA than in those they combat. The evolution of conflict from World-War types of clearly-defined battlelines logistically and politically have given way to a rather messy world in which the sands shift too quickly for easy answers to have general applicability. He also addresses a certain sense of futility.

Finally, Williams talks about the symbolic power, and the emptiness and inappropriateness of such symbols, near the end of his meditations. Symbols have great power, but those symbols can be misused, sometimes deliberately, particularly by those who did not originate the events or meanings. Symbols can sometimes imprison reality, Williams states, and cause us to belittle and sometimes look past the reality involved. Thus, symbols must be handled with great care.

One might get the sense from this book that Williams is a 'bleeding-heart liberal', and, insofar as simple labels tell a half-truth, that might be true. Yet there is something far deeper here. It is a voice we need to hear, rather like the voice of Colin Powell in the Cabinet swimming against the stream of opinion in the administration. Williams is not speaking a popular voice, but it is a necessary voice, one of compassion for the victims, and genuine concern for the future, not just a future in which America will be safe, but in which the entire world sees justice. This requires, and receives from Williams, an honest and accurate assessment of the Muslim world, too.

Williams uses the language of prayer. He uses a language of common humanity and a language of compassion. Williams speaks from his heart looking for answers and being honest about not finding too many. This small book, written in the dust of September 11, bears revisiting a year after the events. Rather like the peaceful pleadings of Dietrich Bonhoffer in the midst of World War II, it may well be ignored for now. But this writing is certainly not merely in the dust. Its hope will survive.

Rowan Williams is the recently appointed Archbishop of Canterbury and head of the worldwide Anglican communion. Williams was also the Lady Margaret Professor of Divinity at Oxford University. Williams has been a prolific writer, including such theological and academic works as Arius: Heresy and Tradition; A Ray of Darkness, a collection of pastoral sermons and addresses; and The Wound of Knowledge: A Theological History from the New Testament to Luther and St. John of the Cross. One hopes that his writing career will not be stopped by his coming elevation. `So this is writing in the dust because it tries to hold that moment for a little longer, long enough for some of our demons to walk away.'

I have viewed hundreds of cookbooks. This was the first "Mr. Food" book that I purchased a year ago. Simply stated, this is the best cookbook I have ever used. I have prepared so far about half of the 175+ recipes in it, and they have literally all been fanstastic. They are easy to prepare also (just as he claims). From appetizers to elegant main courses to desserts, I have received numerous compliments. This is such a good book that I have just ordered the best of Mr. Food I and II.

I will admit it, my husband does more cooking than I do. He is a better cook, can make his own bread, pasta and can even cook without a recipe. When I need to cook for the family, I use this book. It is simple and the recipies frequently require things that you already have around your kitchen. I plan to buy more of his cookbooks.

This is a very useful text. Difficult to find but very useful. Although the seller stated it was used, it is in excellent condition.

I thought that the book was a huge help in my educational psychology class. I would recommend this book to anyone who was interested in psychology or education.

This textbook is clear, concise and written in a way that uses many different thinking patterns to process the information. That has definitely kept me from getting bored while reading it. I often find that I've read more than I'd planned for a given allotment of time. I give this text high recommendations!

The product was as it was described. I received the text in a timely manner, actually it was soon after the purchase.

It is a very good book, but might be rather basic for advanced financial people. However, it is very easy to follow, so it might be good.

This book is a great introduction for someone with little background in economics or finance. It is also a good refresher for people that do have backgroungs in finance. I used it for the latter purpose and I still learned some things that I never previously knew. This book goes into a comprehensive examination of interest rates, fixed income securities, derivatives, and stocks. Easy to read and understand. Well written.
