The beach house in New Hampshire which figured in Anita Shreve's The Pilot's Wife, Fortune's Rocks, and Sea Glass is once again featured in Body Surfing. This time, it is the summer home of the Edwards family, Anna and Mark and daughter Julie. Mrs. Edwards has great hopes for Julie, who is "slow," so she hires Sydney to tutor her, in preparation for her senior year. There are two older brothers, Jeff and Ben, whose arrival changes the household dynamic considerably.
Once again, Shreve revisits the minefield of love and betrayal that she has explored so well in her best novels. Sydney is 29, twice married, once divorced, and once a widow. She is floundering, not sure she wants to go back to school, accepting whatever job comes along and then moving on. She answers the ad for a tutor and finds herself in the Edwards household, where she discovers that Julie has undiscovered artistic talent. Mrs. Edwards dislikes her instantly, is dismissive, and treats her like a servant. Mr. Edwards befriends her, shows her his roses and talks to her about the history of the house, giving the reader a rundown of the role the house has played in prior novels.
Sydney, Jeff, and Ben go body surfing late one night and Sydney is sure that Ben has tried to grope her underwater. She takes immediate umbrage at this and treats him coldly thereafter. Shreve's other work has a steady narrative flow, but this novel is episodic and disjointed. There is the the arrival of Jeff's girlfriend, her departure, an evening when Julie comes home drunk and won't talk about it, and a liaison between Sydney and Jeff which leads to the complications that eventually define the novel. There is a twist at the end, involving the brothers, that is divisive, destructive and rather hard to believe.
While this is not Shreve's best effort, because the characters are not well-defined, it is worth reading her take on what happens to people when they compete for love. --Valerie Ryan
Book Description
At the age of 29, Sydney has already been once divorced and once widowed. Trying to regain her footing once again, she has answered an ad to tutor the teenage daughter of a well-to-do couple as they spend a sultry summer in their oceanfront New Hampshire cottage.But when the Edwards' two grown sons, Ben and Jeff, arrive at the beach house, Sydney finds herself caught up in a destructive web of old tensions and bitter divisions. As the brothers vie for her affections, the fragile existence Sydney has rebuilt for herself is threatened. With the subtle wit, lyrical language, and brilliant insight into the human heart that has led her to be called "an author at one with her m+tier" (Miami Herald), Shreve weaves a novel about marriage, family, and the supreme courage that it takes to love.

Underblown.......2007-10-11
I have enjoyed many of Anita Shreve's novels. A reviewer once wrote, in describing another of Shreve's works (paraphrased)"..in a somber voice, Shreve leads us on". At the time I thought this was a wonderful description of Shreve's style and a testament to her artistry. That phrase also applies to this book, but only in the sense of describing the style. This book is written sparely, is indeed miserly, when it comes to character development and dialogue. The characters feel as if they have been neutered, turned into androids, and are reading every third line of a conversation. And yet, this is supposed to be a love story. I won't reprise the plot here, other reviewers have done that well. But as far as feeling for the characters; joy during their courtship, sadness when it comes, I was left untouched. I was tempted to count the number of sentences any character in this book speaks that has more than 6 words in it. Here is a brief example; (Sydney encounters an older woman whose husband has recently died), "Sydney guesses there are few normal meals now. She walks to the counter, "I'm so sorry" she says. "Why should you be sorry?" Mrs. Edwards asks, taking up a sponge and wiping the granite. Over Mrs. Edwards shoulder, Sydney can see through the window to the rose garden, or what is left of it." Then there is a description of the rose garden in decay. To have a genuine expression of sorrow met with such a rebuff would seem to call for some kind of response, discussion, feeling....but you won't find it here. Only a decaying rose garden. Perhaps this book was an experiment by Ms. Shreve. Perhaps in providing only the barest framework for this story, she wants the reader to supply the emotions, the full conversations, the happiness, all of the richness that makes a story unique. It left me feeling hollow and disappointed. It is not a terrible book, and if the choice is to read it/give it a pass, I would say to read it. But be forewarned, you are in for a clinical experience.
A book that leaves questions unanswered.......2007-10-07
It's always a thrill to start reading a book by Anita Shreve. Her writing has a refreshing astringency, like tart lemon sherbet after one scoop too many of rocky road. Every sentence is weighted, and the reader joins the writer in observing and interpreting the action.
BODY SURFING is the story of Sydney Sklar, recently widowed, who is tutoring eighteen-year-old Julie Edwards at a beach house in New Hampshire. Julie's older brothers visit and sparks ignite between Sydney and Jeff.
Now comes the trouble with spare writing: the reader SEES the various love affairs unfolding, but they're hard to fathom. The chemistry has to be taken on faith. The drawing of a finger along a thigh inspires sensual longing? An underwater touch in the dark is received with intractable revulsion? A distant swimmer in a wetsuit arouses a young girl's first sexual passion? We know it because the author tells us so, but it's all a bit abstract. Lives are changed by these minimal encounters but the reader doesn't feel the heat; the plot seems somehow under-explained.
The characters, too, are described by their actions, with interpretation laid on. Somehow you know they're as complex as anyone else but the narrative doesn't quite do that complexity justice. We might wonder why Mrs. Edwards ever thought a summer of tutoring would get her "slow" daughter into a Seven Sisters college; how an architect never came to discover that his daughter is gifted with artistic talent; why neither of them ever noticed that she was a lesbian. And as for Sydney, she seems strong, smart and kind, is already twice-married, yet she can't spot a cad when she sees one and instantly agrees to marry him, apparently because of the thigh-stroking mentioned above.
There's nothing awful about this book; the writing itself is a treat, though maybe better suited to stories with a period setting like SEA GLASS or FORTUNE'S ROCKS. However it's not Anita Shreve's best. If you haven't read her, don't start here. But if you love her style, you'll probably find this book a passable read.
A beach idyll.......2007-10-03
Twenty nine year old Sydney is employed by a family to tutor their backward 18 year old daughter in the hope of her gaining college admission. The girl's mother who treats Sydney as a servant, refuses to recognise that her daughter hasn't the mental ability to attend college and also is blind to the fact that the girl is stunningly beautiful and on the brink of a sexually active life. As Sydney has already been married twice, once divorced and once widowed, she is wary of the overtures made to her by the sons of the house when they come to the beach house for the summer, and takes an immediate dislike to the elder, as she is convinced that he groped her in the water while they were all swimming. She soon begins an intense love affair with the younger son which leads to very high drama and a complete change of life for her. It was a quick, pleasant read, written with Anita Shreve's usual style and one which her fans will enjoy immensely.
Anita Shreve is a five star novelist!.......2007-09-11
Once again Anita Shreve brings you into the novel. Her writing is excellent. I always am anxiously awaiting the next novel....not soon enough for me. The characters in her novels become your friends or part of your family. What a gift Anita Shreve possesses.
Love Anita Shreve, very disappointed though........2007-09-11
I have read every single one of Anita Shreve's books. I am a huge fan & was so happy when I heard she had a new book coming out. I was so disappointed, however. This had the potential to be great, but it flopped. The characters were not developed, the main character did not grow in any way throughout the book, and I felt the end was not the end. I felt that she just gave up at the end & wasn't sure where to take it, so didn't try. I kept expecting something horrific like someone dying as in the rest of her books.
All in all, she is still my favorite author, but I am so sad that this book didn't measure up to her other amazing work.

Good for the AFAST.......2007-08-14
This review is for anyone taking the Army's AFAST exam. I'm not sure how good this book is for other exams.
There are two reasons I recommend this book for the Army's AFAST exam;
First of all, you need to really practice the Complex Movements section of the test. It seems to make or break most test takers and is very hard to understand if you are unfamiliar with it. This practice alone makes the book worth it.
Second, the Army AFAST exam isn't really a hard exam, however it's graphics are so poor it makes it a hard exam. Therefore, using this book to teach yourself how the exam expects you to recognize its poor graphics pays off really well during exam time.
For these two reasons, I recommend this book. It's not a great 'review' book, however it will teach you how to take the test...which can be just as important.
Good but incomplete for people who struggle in math.......2007-07-15
Arco's Military Flight Aptitude Tests study guide gives you a good overview of the subjects that you will be tested on. If you have a strong backround in basic physics and math, then you should be able to get by with this book. But if you need extra help relearning math and physics, then I would recomend buying Kaplans GRE study guide, since it will actually teach you the concepts (I stink at math, so I really needed a book that put the concepts in simpler terms, so that I could do well on the math word problems).
Arco's MFAT just has sample questions, but it does teach you some stuff about the flight material you will need to learn. So I recomend you buy it, because you not going to find any book that can teach you some of the unique flight (and natical if your joining the Navy) material that you will find in Arco's book. But if you need a math and physics update, then buy Kaplans GRE study guide.
Hope this helps and good luck.
Far from perfect, but much better than the Cliffs Notes version........2007-01-16
While there are many things wrong with this test prep book, it is much better than the Cliffs Notes MFAT prep book. The Spatial Apperception in this book is slightly different than the corresponding section on the ASTB, but it is much better than the same part of the cliffs book where most of the questions have incorrect answers and are poorly presented. Use this in conjunction with the marine ASTB gouge, and whatever other gouge you can find at the AirWarriors website. And be sure to cram on the math as it is the most important part for your OAR. I got 65 OAR, and 8,7,7 on my first try.
good book for navy test.......2007-01-13
This book is good, but the best study guide is the marine one you can find online. this book also works well for the afoqt, but remember that they changed the test. There is no electric maze.
Good Book across the board.......2006-11-13
I am a recent college grad and was interested in joining the Navy to fly planes. I had no clue on what becoming an officer meant or what to expect on the journey to get there. The book gives you practice test for each branch of the military (navy army air force etc) for their entrance exams. I was studying for the ASVAB. If you have a basic understanding of math and take some time (about a week) to familiarize yourself with the test you'll do fine. The book also gave valuable info on different types of flight paths to go, ex. pilot, NFO. All in all if I had to do it again I'd probably purchase this book. However I found out later in my search online that you can actually download this book. I forgot which site it was but a few minutes to find it will probably save you a little bit of money in the end.
Book Description
Through their thoughtful and accurate balance of developmental, clinical-diagnostic, and experimental approaches to child and adolescent psychopathology, Eric Mash and David Wolfe's ABNORMAL CHILD PSYCHOLOGY remains the most authoritative, scholarly book in today's abnormal child psychology market. Appropriate for novice and expert alike, this book traces the developmental course of each disorder and shows how biological, psychological, and sociocultural factors interact with a child's environment. This MEDIA EDITION gives students a chance to see how troubled children behave in their homes, in their schools, and in their communities, reinforcing the author's commitment to providing students with access to real children in their natural settings. Through the power of ThomsonNOW, students now have access to an unparalleled personal learning system. Since one of the best ways to introduce students to a particular problem of childhood or adolescence is to first describe a real child, the authors begin each chapter with engaging first-person accounts and case histories of a child with a particular disorder. This child is then referred to throughout the entire chapter, illustrating the categorical and dimensional approaches used to describe disorders, as well as bringing life to the theories Mash and Wolfe present. Embracing today's world with leading-edge coverage of the DSM-IV-TR and dimensional approaches to classification, Mash and Wolfe's comprehensive introduction covers many topics: evidence-based assessment and treatment, contemporary research and cutting-edge theories related to the predominantly inattentive ADHD subtype, early-onset and the developmental propensity model of conduct disorder, the triple vulnerability model of anxiety, the tripartite model in children, depression, and autism.

Excellent Servicing.......2005-09-23
The book was delivered timely and in very good condition. Most Chapters had information highlights which was an advantage for me.
Abnormal Child Psycology? Blaa to it..........2005-01-13
This book may contatin alot of useful information. I am a second year student in the Child And Youth Worker program, and it cost me about $140, for about $50 of use... alot of the information in this book was new to me, and I did learn alot, but having said that, the only reason I bought it was because it was mandatory. This book is the most boring piece of crap I have had to read thus far in my program. Facts left and right, but little connection in the actual paragraphs. All connections made are in blurbs about other people's storys. And even those a weak at best. I recomend NOT buying this book. Waste of money and time. If you in college and you need to buy it, show your prof. these two reviews, then refuse to buy it yourself :)
An excellent book, I use it for my classes.......2004-08-24
I use this text for my undergrad and grad classes. The information is complete and has great breadth. My undergraduates have found this to be a great resource for information on classes of disorders and on specific disorders. It is easy to read, without being simplistic. The pedagogical features (e.g., sidebars, pictures, etc.) are a matter for personal choice. I personally feel they are distracting, but my undergraduate students like them and say that they are helpful.
For years, I have included it as a supplement in my graduate class on child behavior disorders. The primary text was 'Mash and Barkely's Child Psychopathology'. M&B is very dense, but very complete. I recently made this text (M&W,the one being reviewed) the primary and M&B the supplemental. I can supply enough primary source articles to cover the technicalities, but like the way this (M&W) covers the basics.
In summary: This text is a near perfect tool for undergrads and can be used for graduates, if accompanied by good primary source articles.
Great Content; Bad Layout.......2003-08-02
The content of this book is unsurpassed. The research and breadth of topics covered is phenomenal. The writing is layman and very easy to read.
That being said, the book as a textbook stinks. There are too many pictures, sidebars, subheaders, etc... It's hard to read about a topic when there are interruptions on every page that are interesting but not entirely needed. Each section lasts for about a page, so assigning reading is difficult.
DO NOT BUY!
First-rate resource for student and practitioner alike........2002-08-03
A first-rate resource that looks at child and adolescent psychopathology that looks at pathology from a developmental, clinical, diagnostic, and experimental perspective. Sections discuss abnormal child psychology, behavioral disorders, emotional disorders, developmental and learning disorders, and problems related to physical and mental health.
This book is logically formatted, easy to understand, yet deep enough to take student and practitioner alike to the next level in their understanding of child and adolescent psychopathology.

superb physiology text.......2007-05-18
Thorough, clear, great figures/diagrams. I've used this textbook for 2 classes and refer to it periodically when I have questions about health and the body's workings. Gives a good overview of topics, as well as useful details.
beautiful.......2007-05-07
This text covers the material well yet is easy to read. It is well organized and the drawings/pictures are beautiful. I am enjoying learning a difficult topic !
They advertise the wrong item.......2006-08-31
In the search and title it says Human Physiology: From cell to systems by Sherwood. It is not this is an study guide to accompany the textbook. Also when are reciever in the front page say clearly textbook not included. The name of this is Cram101 Textbook Outlines. I am very dissapointed because now I have to return this wait for my money back in the meanwhile order the texctbook elsewhere.
Great supplement for the book.......2005-10-09
I use it to study before my exams... great for reviewing the material... great summaries of each chapter and exam type review questions
False Advertising.......2005-09-25
Although the book is in decent condition, it is completely black and white, not to mention is is the paperback edition, and not the hardcover as advertised.
Book Description
Stewart's CALCULUS: EARLY TRANSCENDENTALS, Fifth Edition has the mathematical precision, accuracy, clarity of exposition and outstanding examples and problem sets that have characterized the first four editions. Stewart retains the focus on problem solving and the pedagogical system that has made the book a favorite of students and instructors in a wide variety of colleges and universities throughout the world. The structure of CALCULUS: EARLY TRANSCENDENTALS, Fifth Edition, remains largely unchanged, the sole exception being that the review of inverse trigonometric functions has been moved from an appendix to Section 1.6. Stewart has made hundreds of small improvements: new examples, additional steps in existing examples, updating of data in existing examples and exercises, new phrases and margin notes to clarify the exposition, references to other sources and web sites, redrawn art, and references to the TEC CD (Tools for Enriching Calculus). These refinements ensure that students and instructors using this text are using the best resource available. The number of pages in the book, however, remains unchanged from the 4th edition. This edition is complemented with and expanded array of supplementary material for both students and instructors. These best-selling texts differ from CALCULUS, Fifth Edition in that the exponential and logarithmic functions are covered earlier. In the Fifth Edition of CALCULUS, EARLY TRANSCENDENTALS these functions are introduced in the first chapter and their limits and derivatives are found in Chapters 2 and 3 at the same time as polynomials and other elementary functions.
Customer Reviews:
Inconsistent.......2004-12-10
This text, though very readable, teaches too much through example problems as opposed to actually explaining the information in the text. Presentation of some topics (chapter 6 particularly) was very poor. Some chapters were out of place (chapter 9 on differential equations, which should have been placed right before the last chapter).
DO NOT buy earlier editions for class--NOT same problems........2004-10-24
Hey, this isn't a review. I just want to let you know that the people who claim that the fourth edition is the "same content" are trying to rip you off. The fourth edition is NOT the same as the fifth edition. The homework problems are NOT the same. If you get the fourth edition, you will not be able to complete your assignments for class if the instructor gives assignments out of the book.
These dishonest people are just trying to get you to pay lots of money for an old edition of a textbook they can't resell at their campus bookstore anymore. If you want the fourth edition, you can get it a lot cheaper under the actual listing for the fourth edition.
Don't be fooled!
this coming from a student.......2004-10-22
Having taken 3 Calculus classes in sequence at my university with this book and having used one chapter of this book in my 4th math class that I am currently in (differential equations), I would say that I've used most of this book. Let's just say that this book needs a professor to go along with it. There's really not much of a chance, unless you're really smart, that you can only use this book with no other study aids and understand all of the concepts presented. This book really is made for your math professor to more fully explain. Having said that, I must add that the CD-ROM enclosed is GREAT. I guess if you don't have your professor to go over the finer details of some of the more vague concepts, then this is the next best thing. The sounds-like-a-grad-student voice that explains each chapter in great detail is easy to understand and makes most concepts pretty clear. I have to say that this CD-ROM is saving me on my midterm.
Awesome details to everything.......2003-09-07
This was the book that I had for my first year calculus course.
It was amazing how much detail they put in.
Everytime time that I didn't understand something(such as where it was derived from, when it would be used), the book had a detailed explanations and/or proofs to accompany it.
This is probably the only textbook that I own that has never had a problem/theory/proof etc. that made me go "Where the heck did that come from?", or "How come I can't seem to apply it to any question that is supposed to be solved using it?".
In short, if you're like me and like detailed explanations on everything, you'll be very satisfied with this book.
If y = 5x, I give it y' thumbs up.
An inferior textbook, though popular........2002-03-10
This is the early transcendentals version of Stewart's calculus. The title of the book is quite appropriate, in that to learn calculus well, one must transcend the Stewart approach early and often. I found my self reading another text (Simmon's Calculus and Analytic Geometry) as an antidote to this dry, disjointed, lifeless tome.
Stewart takes an inconsistent (sometimes rigorous, sometimes intuitive) approach toward teaching the calculus. It seems as if he has attempted to be all things to all people. Though he may have attempted to present the subject in both an intuitive (to motivate the typical student) and rigorous (to satisfy the professor) manner, he failed to deliver on either.
The text is replete with pretty diagrams and some historical diversions, which read as canned, trivial snippets. In spite of this eye candy, the mathematical exposition is poor. Most proofs read as shorthand notes to one who already understands the subject. Is it analysis or basic calculus? Stewart seems to have a schizophrenic writing manner. On the one hand, he presents examples in "workbook" (i.e. Schaum's outline) form, so that if one wishes to solve a particular sort of problem, one might find it here. On the other hand, he does not seem able to meld problem solving with rigor in a coherent manner. So an abbreviated proof is done, with several relevant steps (relevant, that is, to the beginner) omitted. What function does this serve for a pre-analysis student? A proof that might take 10 steps is presented in 4. What is the point of this approach? Perhaps so as to ward off accusations that a particular subject was not touched upon.
The book is expensive and bloated. Though the "official" rendering of the page numbers is 781, there are approximately 130 other pages devoted to appendices (some as advertisements for other, i.e. ancillary, materials). Note, this text is intended for a 2 semester Calculus sequence. It seems inappropriate, perhaps fraudulent, that Stewart devoted 900+ expensive pages for his task, and yet failed to present the material in an interesting and efficient manner. Given his insistence upon this secondary material, I ask Stewart - did you ever intend for this book to be relatively self-contained for the serious first year scholar, or did you expect the professor or CD-ROM to fill in the gaps in your exposition? Some alternative texts: Simmons, Anton, Stein, Thomas/Finney.

Excellent service.......2007-04-20
Product was exactly as specified. Very quick delivery. Would definitely order from this seller again!
Even Answers.......2007-02-20
The book should also have even answers. We should unite and form a union of students against even homework assignments.
Horrible...........2006-10-30
I am taking Calc II and am using this book. This book is horrible! I missed a lecture and when I tried doing the homework I got stuck. There are no example like the examples. I am here on this site to buy companion book so that I can do better on my homework. I wish they would stop using this book at university level courses.
Worst calculus text.......2006-10-25
I taught this class with this book several times, and it makes the material more difficult for students. It is one of the worst textbooks available for Calculus.
This is a _stellar_ text!.......2005-12-02
I've been swamped with homework in general, and have been behind in many classes. So, often times I won't have the foundations to understand the current concept my calc teacher is explaining in class. However, with this calc book, the explanations are so clear, and the in-text examples and practice problems so plentiful, that I can truly say I'm confident in my calculus skills, even without any teacher instruction.
Which isn't to say you should [AP] advanced procrastinate like I'm doing right now. But..
It's really a superb book, and possibly my favorite HS/technically college-prep textbook ever.
The only downside, though, is the online supplementary material doesn't seem to work for me no matter what I do. Maybe it needs teacher intervention for things to show up? It seems like it'd be a great source of extra problems, but all I can seem to find are flash videos for a couple sections a chapter. Oh well.
But again, this text really makes me happy. Get it, it's def worth your time, and a spot on your bookshelf.

Wonderful addition to any home/school library.......2007-07-11
We use this book with our students in school regularly. I bought a copy for my home. All four of my children (ages 10 - 17) refer to it time and again. It is a must for a home library. I keep it right next to the dictionary and thesaurus.
Indispensable resource for teachers of reading!.......2007-06-30
The Reading Teacher's Book of Lists is a wonderful resource for teachers, especially in helping develop instructional materials and lesson plans for grades K-12 & even for adult literacy. There are lists covering phonics, useful words, vocabulary, subject words, literature, writing, instruction, comprehension & study skills, assessment, spelling, the internet,ESL/language, word play, abbreviations/symbols/signs, and references. This is a highly practical and comprehensive resource for teachers of reading, but is also suitable for parents & students, and anyone interested in the subject matter. I would also recommend Jim Burke's Reading Reminders:Tools, Tips, and Techniques as a companion to this.

A Must Have.......2007-01-12
Is your time worth money? If the answer is ,"Yes," well, do I have a book for you. The Reading Teacher's Book of Lists, is well worth every penny you'll spend. It's a valuable resource for all teachers, paraprofessionals, parents, and students. From locating lists of word families to sesquipedalians; this book has it all. It is a great time saver. I highly recommend this book. If in doubt, buy it ... you'll be glad you did.
2 Thumbs up and a MUST have for teachers.......2007-01-12
As a first year Reading and English teacher, I use this book almost daily. There are activities, strategies, ideas, writing prompts, and plenty of reference/trivia information. This book is packed full of bell activity material and five-minute fillers. I HIGHLY recommend it!
