"Dear Friend Anna": The Civil War Letters of a Common Soldier from Maine

Book Description

Established in 1917 by publisher Joseph Pulitzer, the Pulitzer Prize is now awarded in 21 categories, including investigative reporting, news photography, drama, poetry, music, and others. It continues to be the most coveted honor in journalism. Yet while many publications have been written on the topic of the Pulitzer Prizes, none has provided basic factual information on all of the winners. This new reference tool profiles each of the more than 1,100 individuals who have received this honor from 1917 through 1998. Entries include the winner's name, year and category for the Pulitzer Prize(s) won, birthdate, family, education, career summary, other awards won, list of selected works, and where to locate additional information. Several entries also include photos of the winner.

A Must For Your Reference Library.......2000-06-20

I have already reviewed this book but I can't find my review anywhere. Where, oh where, has it gone?

A Must for Your Reference Library.......2000-06-17

Who's Who of Pulitzer Prize Winners is a concise, well-researched and in-depth account of Pulitzer Prize winners from the inception of the awards to the present. The personal profiles are informative and entertaining--never dull.( It's interesting to see how the tastes of the awards committee have changed over the years). The authors have compiled and written a highly commendable book--one that will not lose its patina over time. No more need be said.

Book Description

Few constructions better epitomize leisure and comfort than the swimming pool. Although at times pools serve landscaping or sporting functions, most often swimming pools are associated with lazy hours enjoyed under the sun in a bathing suit, the only concern being to finish a beverage before the ice cubes melt. Spectacular Pools presents a selection of some of the most stunning swimming pools in the world. Included are more than twenty-five inspirational pools located in both the coastal and inland United States, on the Mediterranean, and in the Caribbean, Australia, and Asia, providing a spectacular overview of different pool designs and creations from all over the world.

European Perspective - Lavish but Vague.......2000-08-16

A beautiful book for casual perusal, coffee table, etc. Originally published in Spain (many grammatical and translation errors), and featuring the work of several European architects. Most of the pools are in Europe. Very few specifics are given about materials, proportions, etc. These pools probably cost in the high six figures and up.

Think before you buy this book!.......2005-01-14

I am in the process of designing a new back yard with inground pool and spa. I have been reviewing several books to get ideas. If that is what you are looking for - keep looking you won't find much here. This book is more of a photojournal of neo contemporary pools from around the world. It covers about 30 pools (most look the same). The majority of them are very contemporary recatngles with no decks. Just look at the cover - there are 29 more pools that look just like it inside. On the same note these pools are all in million dollar homes and are not very impressive unless you love plain, sleek, rectangular pools with minimal landscaping and concreate decks. Sorry I just didn't get it.

Quintessential Partnership Taxation Textbook.......2007-05-12

This is the industry standard textbook, both for law school courses in partnership taxation and for MST (Masters of Taxation) courses of the same title. This text is concise and readable and does an excellent job of explaining the concepts involved in the taxation of partnerships and other flow-thru entities.

Easy to read, great problems.......2006-04-03

This textbook is readable and has both simple and complex problems - something I don't see often in legal texts.

Product Description

Continuing the tradition that has made it a leader in its field, Problems on Professional Responsibility uses problems to provide an overview of lawyers' professional responsibility. One of the most rapidly changing fields in American law, professional responsibility sees new issues, rules and cases each year, all of which are covered in this book. The Ninth Edition covers the American Bar Association's Model Rules of Professional Conduct, which were extensively rewritten in 2002; the American Law Institute's Restatement Third, The Law Governing Lawyers, and issues raised by federal agencies that play an important role in determining lawyer standards. Other changes to this edition include more citing authorities, fewer black letter questions and issues in each problem to allow more time for discussion and questions; and the integration of readings into discussion materials.

Not so hot overview of Agency & Corp Law.......2005-12-17

I was unimpressed with this book. Many in my class struggled because of the way the book was thrown together.
My main problems are the lack of explanation for key concepts, other than a reference to a cut-down case and the questionable decision to use cases that don't clearly explain the issue at hand.
I was thrown off at first when I couldn't find some of the cases in Lexis or WestLaw. Rather than relying on an on-topic US SC case or even a Fed circuit case, some key concepts get examples that are unpublished lower-court decisions where the judge makes either the wrong decision or the right decision for the wrong rulings. The book does not point out the error of the court when it does this. Most of the time this happened, my professor would point out that we should ignore this case and learn the concept from a study guide or his class notes. In an ideal BA book, the authors wouldn't try to trick students by giving them bad examples of the law (or without explaining that the examples have faulty legal logic).
If you are reading this review, you are likely either a law student or a law professor. If you are a professor, please think twice about using this book. If you are a student, you will have no choice in the matter. If you find yourself struggling then read the Lexis and Westlaw briefs or get the High Court Summary for this book. My school bookstore didn't have the HC summaries for this book, but Amazon did.

great book!.......2003-09-03

this book is very good because it help me a lot in my studies. and also give me knowledge that i really want.
