Customer Reviews:
Study guide has great questions for test preparation. .......2005-02-06
The questions and answers were so helpful in this book. I could test myself to see what I knew or didn't know for my college exams. The questions really were key to helping me get very good grades. I also highly recommend his Volume 2 and Volume 3 of The Ultimate Study Guide for Biology. If you want to increase your chances of getting excellent grades, I would definitely get these three books.
Excellent Study Guide!.......2004-08-21
This study guide had pratically every type of question I needed to know for my college biology exams. The author really knows what is asked on exams. His explanations were very good, too. This was a wonderful learning tool because I could test myself to see how much I really knew for the exam. I found it better to get the questions wrong in this study guide then to get them wrong on the exams. I used his other two volumes also which
are--- The Ultimate Study Guide for Biology: Volume 2 and The Ultimate Study Guide for Biology: Volume 3. These guides were very helpful for biology I and biology II.

Customer Reviews:
A must.......2007-03-11
Yang Jwing-Ming is definitely amongst the leading authors and indeed authorities on the subject of martial arts in the west. With this particular volume he has made one of the best guides to the subject of qin na. The pictures are all good and the explanations very clear. There is an abundance of techniques covered. Well enough to satisfy even the most demanding of students. The sheer scope of techniques makes this book a perfect reference guide for students and teachers alike.
I agree with another reviewer who suggested that a background in grapling/locking arts will be beneficial in learning from this book.
Together with "Analysis of Shaolin Chin Na" also by Yang Jwing Ming and "Practical Chin Na" by Zhao Da Yuan "Comprehensive Applications of Shaolin Chin Na" is all you'll ever need in the form of books on qin na.
Highly recommendable
Amazing Book.......2006-01-10
This is an amazing book. It really has alot of techniques you can
use for "take downs" or some sort disarming or disabling techniques. I Love it, especially since I got the Dr Yangs DVD set on Shaolin Chin Na and useing these together really gives you a better understanding of the art. Just a side note, the DVD quality, production level, direction, its the best martial arts instructional video I have ever seen.
Advanced Knowledge For Grapplers.......2004-11-17
US martial artists won't find much of the material in this book elsewhere. Those studying advanced judo, jujitsu or other grappling arts will find techniques that enhance basic techniques already in use. I found the sections on attacking tendons especially well done. No surprise that successful application requires significant strength in the fingers and wrists. Not recommended for beginners.
not good for every type.......2004-06-26
All forms can be applied only by the movement of some types of internal kungfu familiar to auther ONLY. Kungfu studens who practice other kind of kungfu such as external martial arts may see no chance to use them or find them useless.
THe book is only good for Tai Chi or Pa kwa. If you practice Shaolin line of kungfu, look for other books.
Very good for practical techniques.......2003-08-01
I found this book very practical, especially in comparison to some other books by the author I have read. The techniques are well described, with good foto's, so that one can practice them easyly. I think a background in a locking-art, like mine in aikido, is important for the basic handling of joints, since the locks can be very dangerous. The book gave me very many variations in my aikido and I liked the many fingerlocks, which I was not familiar with.

Muy buen libro para todo lo concerniente a la gramática y sobre todo por su precio tan económico
Excellent and thorough, very good tool for ESL classes........2001-12-28
I bought this book for my class of Latin American students who were learning English as a second language. The grammar exercises in this book were well-written and accurate, and the organization of the material into short chapters makes it easy to teach this material in a classroom. This book was an excellent resource because it explains the concepts in Spanish, which makes the experience more familiar and less overwhelming for the students. A few words of advice - this material is somewhat advanced, so those who have never studied grammar formally (e.g., some of my students had quit school in their 8th grade) may struggle a little with some of the concepts (e.g., what is an adjective). Also, if you are an ESL teacher, you should also be able to read Spanish if you want to use this book, since it explains the concepts in Spanish. I enjoyed this book since it made teaching easy - I needed only about 15 min. of preparation time before each class when I was teaching one of these chapters. Finally, if you are teaching an ESL class, I recommend you use at least one additional book for the purpose of learning vocabulary and practicing pronunciation, since this book really only covers grammar.
Excellent.......2001-07-31
I am very pleased with my purchase. I am trying to learn english. And my professor encouraged me to buy this book. She is a very nice teacher although a little too funny at times, but aren't all language teachers that way. This book provides all the grammar rules I need to know to write good sentences and to read well and yes sometimes soon to speak well in sentences to. Thank you.

Este libro te ayuda a entender la gramatica del lenguaje Ingles y te ayuda a poder hablarlo y escribirlo mejor. Is one of the best tools anyone can have when learning to speak or better english skills.

Renowned historian Stephen Ambrose vividly brings to life Lewis and Clark's famous westward expedition (1803-1806) through the fictionalized diary of George Shannon--the youngest member of the famous explorers' team. This Vast Land is filled with colorful examples of life on the trail, (baiting grizzly bears for sport, chasing after stolen horses, etc.), and Ambrose creates a credible teenage character in George Shannon. Shannon starts out as a complete "greenhorn" who must beg and plead with Captain Lewis to take him along. He learns quickly and develops into an accomplished hunter and tracker, but when tempers flare and he gets into a fistfight, he becomes worried: "I fear...I am becoming as wild as this river...this is not right." Shannon matures on the journey, taking an Indian wife, fathering a son, even learning that he is capable of taking human life. At the end of his life, Shannon finds himself offering advice to a young cadet named Robert E. Lee: I learned...never to give up, even when you are lost without your balls." Rifle balls, that is.
This Vast Land was Ambrose's last book, edited and published by family after his death in 2002. Full of expertly wrought historical detail and earthy humor, the novel is a lively addition to the award-winning writer's significant body of work . (Ages 13 and older)--Jennifer Hubert
Book Description
In a story muscled with truth and imagination, Stephen E. Ambrose (1936-2002) recounts the epoch-making 1803 expedition of Lewis and Clark through the words of a young man. Finding foes and friends among Natives, surviving sickness and hunger, choosing between a woman and the life he left behind, George Shannon grows up as the corps forges a way west.
Drawing on his encyclopedic knowledge of the subject, Ambrose creates the fictional diary of nineteen-year-old George Shannon, who was in fact the youngest member of Lewis and Clark's Corps of Discovery. He conjures the journey west with stunning clarity, calling on the bravery of Daniel Boone, the pragmatic courage of Sacajawea, the overarching, relentless vision of Meriwether Lewis.
This is a book for young readers as well as for those who are looking for new insights into the Northwest Passage. Ambrose's vivid characters, his page-turning account, and the map that charts the explorers' route manifest the spirit of one nation and her indelible destiny.
Customer Reviews:
Some Mature Content.......2004-09-24
As an adult, I would first like to mention that this book has some brief sexual content that some parents may not find suitable for children. Overall, however, it is an engaging and informative glimpse into the Lewis and Clark expedition that left me wanting to know more, and wanting to travel the path myself. I found the diary style of storytelling an interesting one that led authenticity to the story as well as made it easier to read than some straightforward history texts. Of course, this is a fictionalized account, but I think it gives the reader a good idea of the conditions and feelings likely experienced by the Corps of Discovery. The language and even spelling and grammar are consistent with the time period and the education level of the narrator. I found this to be an exciting book that made you wonder what lay ahead, what the next discovery or encounter would bring. I do think this is a valuable book for younger readers, but it should be read with parental guidance due to the sexual content. I also think adult readers looking for an easier portal into the world of Lewis and Clark would enjoy this book as well.
