Not a good bet for the beginning quilter.......2003-06-02

This is one of the first quilting books I purchased and I did not like it. In the section describing supplies, it seems more like an advertisement for the brands she uses and is sponsored by. Someone buying supplies following only her directions may spend money than they truly must in order to begin quilting.

Each project is only offered in one size, and those sizes are not even terribly practical, unless you want to wallpaper your house with hanging quilts.

She identifies each step of the process with an increment of time - hence the name 10-20-30 Minutes - which is not particularly accurate and not helpful to the beginner quilter.

Plus, the projects are not organized or identified by skill level - the beginner quilter who picks up this book should not try a kaleidescope quilt as one of her first projects! I also did not like the organization of the chapters and the projects chosen seem quite random.

One final note: Ms. Zieman seems to think this boook can be used as a part of her modeling portfolio - there are many many pictures of her thoughout it. I bought the book to see quilts, not her!

This may be used as a minor introduction to some quilting techniques for the experienced crafter, but for someone like me with little craft experience who really wanted to dive into the world of quilting, it is NOT the right purchase. A better choice is one of the easy level Quilt in a Day books.

Not for the novice.......2003-04-01

Not a bad book -lots of nice projects -but instructions could be clearer -and they seem to like to "advertise" certain brands and products in this book, instead of giving alternative (and cheaper!) methods. Still, I found this book to be enjoyable and will certainly be making a project or two -the instructions for quilting with fleece were particularly interesting to me.

4 stars.......2000-12-05

I purchased this book for my mother who loves it. She created a beautiful quilt for me two years ago, and I absolutely cherish it... it is the most beautiful quilt. She found the book extremely helpful for new quilters and continues to refer to it.

Book Description

A low-stress introduction to GIS

Forget everything you've been told about geographic information systems. Today's simpler, less expensive, and far more refined GIS software can be operated on a PC or Mac, and in this book you'll discover a new approach to GIS site design and land planning that makes the entire process easier, faster, and more designer friendly.

GIS in Site Design demonstrates how to use GIS the same way you would work with tracing paper and markers. The only difference is that now you'll be meeting your clients' needs to employ GIS data and deliver products in a GIS environment.

The companion CD-ROM contains a tutorial library of all the GIS data in the book. Using techniques explained on the CD to model your own drawings, you'll learn to use GIS for:

Landscape architecture, site design, and land planning
Visual resource analysis
Design of large sites—subdivisions, golf courses, parks, campuses, and more
Design of linear systems such as greenways, trails, and riparian restorations

GIS in Site Design is an indispensable resource that will help you master this increasingly important tool and gain access to larger and more challenging site design projects.

Customer Reviews:

Not an especially thorough examination of GIS and L.A........1999-08-04

Not well organized, repetitive in parts and not well suited to the more advanced AV user.

Innovative introduction to the use of GIS in site design.......1998-12-17

Hanna and Culpepper have provided the first book that deals with the practical use of GIS in landscape architecture. Hanna has developed an innovative methodology that bridges the gap between most small scale GIS and the (very) large scale (1:1200 +) of most site design. The book should be required reading for any landscape architect and any professional or student who is involved with site or community planning or design.

Customer Reviews:

Certainly another good medical reference book........2005-10-21

This edition the AMA encyclopedia (2003) is fully based on its first edition (1989), so the review of the first applies to the second. The 1989 had better illustrations on the whole, but their editors often included inappropriate depictions for no apparent reasons. This irresponsibility carried over into discussions particularly concerning ethical issues, such as abortion (unfortunately, this is something we have come to expect from the medical industry). It is evident the editors had a very large axe to grind when discussing medically induced death therapy that is applied to our unborn citizens. There was neither a mature discussion of the particularly disastrous effect on our black communities through America's legalized and ongoing killing of babies; nor a serious review of the more than ample documentation concerning the Abortion-Breast Cancer (ABC) link, nor an assessment of the emotion scarring of the widespread Post Abortion Syndrome. Similarly, its discussion of sodomy inexplicably still utilized the discredited and criminally derived Kinsey report, and did not give adequate warning about the inherent dangers of that lifestyle. By overlooking these deficiencies, much good knowledge is available in the work. This new 2003 version includes significant and helpful updates since the 1989 publication.

Easy Referrence Guide.......2005-10-12

The AMA Encyclopedia is invaluable. It's complete, detailed and well layed out.
It's the best resource short of the internet. We used the old guide for years.
The front section that allows you to go through an illness step-by-step is worth the cost alone. What a good investment in your health.

American Medical Association Complete Medical Encyclopedia (American Medical Association (Ama) Complete Medical Encyclopedia).......2005-09-17

We are very pleased with this book. We have an older edition and are using quite regularly. My parents expressed interested so I bought the latest edition for them.

up-to-date, but fewer photographs.......2004-02-25

I have been using the 2 volume American Medical Association Home Medical Encyclopedia for several years and loved it. My only complaint was that it had been published in 1989, and a lot of things can change in the world of medicine in 2-3 years, let alone 10-12 years. So, I was very happy to see that a newer, one volume edition had been published. As was its predecessor, it is a very comprehensive resource, written in layman's terms, but not in a simplistic manner. Not only are medical conditions described in concise yet thorough detail, but symptoms and treatments are included as well.

The only thing keeping my review from being 5 stars is that it has fewer photographs than the 1989 publication. In some instances, a drawing does fine, but in others, it is a poor substitute. For example, In the new edition, there is a drawing used to illustrate a goiter, and all you really see is some shading on the neck that gives no sense of the size or proportions of what a real goiter would be like. In the 1989 version, a photo of a person with a goiter clearly and accurately depicts the condition. I would not want the lack of photography to keep someone from acquiring the book, because it is an excellent resource. Whenever the next revision is done, however, the extensive use photograpy needs to be reincorporated.

Trustworthy, detailed information.......2003-11-11

My family has always relied on the old AMA Encyclopedia; this new edition is terrific. It has more definitions, even better illustrations and photos, and more practical information. I especially like the symptoms charts and the color section on the human body. With all the questionable health information on the Web, it's good to have all the basics in an up-to-date guide from a source you can trust.

Book Description

Until now, there hasn't been a single, authoritative work that clarifies and informs the lay reader about advances in the practice of modern medicine. The American Medical Association Encyclopedia of Medicine, in filling that need, proves itself the definitive source of knowledge and reassurance for every American home. In short, it is a medical information powerhouse, written in jargon-free language by a special team of medical writers and presented in an exceptionally usable A-to-Z format -- the most thorough and up-to-the-minute medical reference text yet prepared for the general American public, as well as for libraries and schools.

It's unique subject coverage includes: new drugs; special tests; common, rare, and recently-identified diseases, disorders and conditions; state-of-the-art surgical procedures; conflicting or varying opinions; the translation of esoteric terminology -- all complex areas of contemporary medicine that may prove confusing to anyone, even when consulting a physician.

The broad scope of The American Medical Association Encyclopedia of Medicine encompasses:

*Over 5,000 entries with 2,200 illustrations.
*Medical terms defined in clear, easy-to-understand language alphabetically arranged.
*Listings of 2,200 common and uncommon disorders, diseases, conditions and cures; over 300 symptoms; 2,500 drugs -- in generic, brand-name and major groupings; 600 tests, procedures and surgical operations.
*Illustrated features on the anatomy of the body's organs and systems.
*Four-color introductory section, offering an overview of the latest advances in diagnosis, healing and curing.
*Anatomically-correct drawings, X rays, specialists' photographs and charts, diagrams and scans.
*Extensive cross-referencing within articles to their main entries, "see alsos" for further information, and "signpost" articles to give overviews of certain subjects.
*General index to main entries, sub-entries and illustrations.

The American Medical Association Encyclopedia of Medicine is, along with the diagnostically oriented AMA Family Medical Guide and the specialized, comprehensive AMA Guide to Prescription and Over-the-Counter Drugs, an authoritative major component of The American Medical Association Home Reference Library, the distinguished series that belongs in every home.

Excellent, but buy the updated version.......2006-08-25

I used this reference so much that my copy eventually fell apart. It's clear, concise, and authoritative. But it's very outdated. A newer version came out in 2003, which I was happy to order.

newer edition has slightly different name.......2006-06-01

The newer (2003) ediion is called "American Medical Association Complete Medical Encyclopedia".

This Book is Too Old.......2002-12-17

I didn't realize that this book has not been updated since its copyright--1989. The date of information probably is 1988 or earlier. While this book is clear and well-organized, anything that's 14 years old has little credibility with me. I feel that I made a mistake in getting it.

AMA Enclopedia of Medicine.......2002-06-28

I have loved this book since I purchased in 1990. I have gone to it over and over again. The only problem I have with it is....It is rather outdated. My husband has Hepatitis C. That wasn't even know back there. It was Non A and Non B!! Time they updated their wonderful book. Any information about this? Thanks very much

I bought this book in 1993 when my husband was suffering from a
illness. The doctors were having a hard time in their diagnosis of his illness, and I wanted to help in anyway possible. This book was my constant companion for a year, and I still find it very useful for me , my family and for friends that are always getting information from it. My only dissapointment today is to find out there is not a newer, or rather updated version out...medicine has made a lot of new discoveries and constantly up dating treatments.
