The primary strength of this book is a well-balanced approach to the smoking-health controversy in terms of public policy view. Especially his comparative analysis of US case with Canada and Great Britain provides us with a chance to examine the effectiveness of different public policies on same or similar issue. I'd like to recommend this book to those students in public policy, political science, economics and other social science.

My 15-month-old loves this book! The reader is lead through a day in which "Puppy" packs his belongings for a new home. Where the book only contains about words, the content is not SO important for the audience as is the photos and the main feature...a sound button! My child enjoys searching for the "yellow chew toy" or blue rubber bone then pressing the sound button to hear Puppy bark before turning the page. I have used the book many a time to distract/hold my active toddler's attention - which says a lot! The only improvement I would make to the book is an easy way to change the batteries. With so much use, Puppy now sounds like a parrot!

This is a very good book for peoples who'd like to learn the basics of fundamental and applications of low dimensional semiconductors.

This California Research Bureau Report shows in detail the federal and state options open to small business to raise capital in the private and public markets. The process of selling securities is very complicated and can be costly, as a maze of federal and state regulations of mind-glazing complexity must be negotiated. Each state has its own securities laws and regulations based on two alternative approaches: "merit review" or "full disclosure." California is a merit review state. The paper discusses the benefits of merit review and suggests that there are a variety of regulatory aspects that can be improved in California to facilitate the process by which small businesses offer and sell stock.

This book provides a solid introduction to the physical impacts of selenium on health, and provides nice information in a very readable format.

Serendipity Effect is a good book. It has information with some well-known scientists, and some that are practically unknown.
I especially like how it doesn't tell you the invention or the product of the chapter until your done! Also, the chapter titles can be decieving.
Not only the chapter titles are decieving! The saying, "Don't judge a book by its cover," applies to The Serendipity effect! First glance, a novel. Second glance, a Sci-Fi. Third glance (after you read it), a totally true, fun book!

After reading this collection, which serves as a retrospective of the writin career of one of the better SW writers, I was left with a feeling that the selection could have been better, but this probably reflects my own eclectic readings of his work. Abbey's writings always seemed uneven, particularly in his fiction. His comments about the role of the independent writer versus that of the commercial hired of the establishment press seems right on. In spite of his many years of part-time non-writing service to various agencies he still managed to maintain his freedom to say what he wished about the rot he saw in the management of public lands. I suspect that he was always a bit shocked about how cheaply managers of public linds could be bought off. As a review of his lifetime of writing the book is excellent. McCrae includes some of his fiction, both the excellent ("The Brave Cowboy") and only fair (The Monkey Wrench Gang"). The sampling from his writings might be occasionally dated, but are still mostly relevant to the problems of the SW. His polemic about the cowboy ("Free Speech - The cowboy ans his cow") clearly points to the problems of allowing anything like an unrestricted use of and romanticism about what can easily become an extractive industry. At the same time Abbey's followers should have a difficult time justapositionng his sense of anarchy with this complaints about the institutional anarchy of commercial capitalism. To finish. A good read and certainly worthwhile for someone new to Abbey's work while being a fair sample of his writings for a person with only a passing acquaintance with the writings of one of the West's best essayist. The closing comments in Wendell Berry's poem about his friend are most appropriate.

Very good book....I have read several on the subject and this is one of the better books...
