5 out of 5 stars excellent textbook.......2007-02-13

The review of anatomy before each chapter and the depth and variety of conditions is excellent! Our systemic disease and their ocular manifestations professor here at UC Berkeley School of Optometry has been teaching from this text because we can learn so much from the pictures.

4 out of 5 stars Outstanding atlas in a cheap binding.......2006-10-05

As with many Elsevier books, Spalton's is high quality context - and Spalton's is outstanding - but the book is bound in flimsy paper. Our copy arrived with the spine partially ripped at the joint; just resting this hefty volume on end ripped the front bottom corner of the cover. Looks great, but constructing a hardbound book with flimsy paper is a travesty.

3 out of 5 stars Would have been 5 stars if it had been edited well and on non-glossy paper.......2006-06-12

Great book, but I actually like the earlier edition better. I have the latest edition, but was disappointed with the many errors in the book and on the CD that accompanies the book. The Index has numerous errors as topics are not listed on the pages stated in the index. The CD also has numerous errors as the pictures dont coincide with the chapters in the book even though they are supposed to.

And finally the photos are printed on glossy paper making the details of the photos hard to see under reading light. The older edition used non glossy paper which made the pictures much easier to see. If they fix these two problems (indexing error and paper quality) then this book will receive a 5 rating from me.

5 out of 5 stars The caption drawings make the atlas.......2002-08-08

This is a great resource for residents. A major problem with most atlases is that pictures of subtle findings are not properly annotated, so that the reader may miss the actual focus of the picture.

This atlas fixes the problem rather ingeniously: most pictures have an accompanying drawing that highlights and delineates each important finding and detail seen in the picture. Using these drawings, the reader can learn to identify these subtle but important features.

The use of such drawing makes so much sense that one wonders why more atlases do not employ the method.

I love the atlas for the great pictures, accompanying drawings, and good explanations.

If you are a student of Ocular Pathology and can only buy one book, it should be this one. There is at least one picture of everything here, from glaucem fleken to schlerql staining. Also, all the pictures here are available as a slide set from the same publisher.

Throw away the Academy of Ophthalmology's optics book. This concise text is all you need. If you read it carefully, do the problems and really learn what it teaches, you will score very well on the OKAPs and board exams.

2 out of 5 stars Aimed at the exam taker.......2000-06-13

As a reference book, this little handbook falls short.

As alearning tool it is also lacking, with little detail or helpfuldiagrams.

However, as a study tool, this review should serve the student well if he/she had a real reference from which to learn. That is, in fact, what it markets itself to be -- a last minute study review -- so no false advertising here.

Book Description

When The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter was published in 1940, Carson McCullers was instantly recognized as one of the most promising writers of her generation. The novels that followed established her as a master of Southern Gothic.

"McCullers' gift," writes Joyce Carol Oates, "was to evoke, through an accumulation of images and musically repeated phrases, the singularity of experience, not to pass judgment on it." McCullers effortlessly conveyed the raw anguish of her characters and the weird beauty of their perceptions. Set in small Georgia towns that are at once precisely observed and mythically resonant, McCullers' novels explore the strange, sometimes grotesque inner lives of characters who are often marginal and misunderstood. Above all, McCullers possessed an unmatched ability to capture the bewilderment and fragile wonder of adolescence.

In The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter, an enigmatic deaf-mute draws out the haunted confessions of an itinerant worker, a young girl, a black doctor, and the widowed owner of a small-town café. Two shorter works, Reflections in a Golden Eye (1941) and The Ballad of the Sad Café (1943), use melodramatic scenarios and freakish characters to explore the disfiguring violence of desire. The Member of the Wedding (1946), on which the play and film were based, tells of a young girl's fascination with her brother's wedding and is perhaps McCullers' most moving and accomplished novel. In Clock Without Hands (1960), the story of a terminally ill druggist, McCullers produces some of her most forceful and indignant social criticism.

5 out of 5 stars The American Jane Austen?.......2003-12-24

I have read many novels by many writers, both American and foreign, but it's been a good long while since I've read something so penetrating and perceptive as Carson McCuller's first and last novels. The characters in the books, their lives and personalities, are so well thought-out and delineated that you have to wonder how a woman of 23 could put something like this together. Anyway, below is a synopsis of each story in this volume.

The Heart is a Lonely Hunter is the longest of Carson McCullers' novels, and the first. She wrote it in the late `30s, and published it in 1940, when she was 23. It's an incredible first novel, and amazingly prescient and wise for someone of her age, era, and upbringing. The story revolves around a deaf mute, John Singer, who works engraving silverware in a small city in the South somewhere. He has only one friend in the world, another deaf mute who works for his cousin, making candy. As the story begins the candymaker (named Antanopolous) is committed to an asylum, and Singer moves from the home they shared, and slowly begins to acquire a circle of other friends. Principle in this circle are four people: Mick, the daughter of his landlords at the rooming house he lives in; Biff, who runs the diner where he takes his meals; Blount, another denizen of the diner, who wishes to unionize the local mill-workers; and Dr.Copeland, a black man who rages against the injustice of white society towards him and his race. The heart of the story is a character study of these five people, with alternating chapters following the one and then the other. Each is intelligent, in his or her own way, and each has special insights into the world around them. How these characters interact, and the relationships between them and the rest of the world, make the heart of the story and most of the book.

Reflections in a Golden Eye is a shorter story, one of McCullers' novels that is really more of a novella. The plot revolves around a love triangle that develops between two officers on an Army base, and the wife of one of them. There's also a strange, solitary, enigmatic private who tends the horses on the base, and he interacts with the other characters. Frankly, I didn't enjoy this story as much as The Heart is a Lonely Hunter. The characters weren't anywhere near as believable, and their motivations weren't as transparent or understandable. The ending was also somewhat predictable.

The Ballad of the Sad Café is the shortest of McCullers' novels or novellas, weighing in at 60 pages. It's the story of a strange, unpredictable relationship between the standoffish businesswoman who dominates the culture of a small town, and a dwarf hunchback who shows up one day claiming to be her long-lost nephew. How the two of them interact in the story is strange, to say the least, and not wholly explained in the story. This creates an enigmatic atmosphere, and as the story progresses and it becomes obvious we're not going to receive an explanation of things, you find yourself re-reading passages looking for clues as to motivations. I enjoyed this story much more than Reflections in a Golden Eye, perhaps almost as much as The Heart is a Lonely Hunter.

The Member of the Wedding is perhaps McCullers' most strange work. The heart of the book is built around the fantastic intentions and beliefs of a twelve-year-old girl. In the first portion of the book, she's known as Frankie. Later, when she gets the idea she's going to leave with her older brother on his honeymoon, she changes her name to F. Jasmine, and the book follows that convention. Once it develops that she can't go with the brother and his new bride (you knew this was going to happen) she becomes Frances. There isn't much of a plot other than this girl fantasizing about all of the things she's going to be or do, and looking down her nose at all the common people who surround her, who she thinks are beneath her.

Clock Without Hands is the best of McCullers' books other than The Heart is a Lonely Hunter. I now wonder if the length of the books had something to do with whether I liked them or not. She seems to have been able, in the longer books, to build her characters more, and have more plot twists. Clock Without Hands is about a dying pharmacist in a small Georgia town, and the events surrounding his death, but it really turns out to be more about one of his acquaintances, a senile old judge who imagines himself a great leader of the opposition to the desegregation movement. The episodes of the Civil Rights movement, as McCullers recreates them, become at times farcical and silly, and the resistance to the movement altogether silly and irrational.

Library of America volumes are wonderful to hold and read, and this is no exception. The type is clear, the book handy to hold or slip into a pocket. Given McCullers' stature as a writer, I think I'm going to value this book for a good long while.

5 out of 5 stars Magnificent McCullers.......2002-03-11

Carson McCullers, one of America's greatest Southern writers, was often misunderstood, as many people were put off by or unwilling to deal with her (at the time) controversial subject matter. MCCullers used the grotesque as exaggerated symbols of everyday experience. The loneliness and isolation of her gothic-like characters were merely extreme examples of feelings we all have, though magnified and intensified to the nth degree.

Tennessee Williams, in his introduction to MCCullers' "Reflections in a Golden Eye", posed the question (in a mock dialogue) most people asked about writers of the 'gothic' school such as Carson McCullers, Flannery O'Connor, Katherine Anne Porter and Eudora Welty: "Why do they write about such dreadful things?" Williams replies, " In my opinion it is most simply definable as a sense, an intuition of an underlying dreadfulness in modern society.. Why have they got to use..symbols of the grotesque and the violent? Because a book is short and a man's life is long... The awfulness has to be compressed."

McCullers, unlike any writer I have ever read, pierces the heart of themes such as love, isolation, and loneliness with her lucid, poetic prose. Tennessee Williams, in Virginia Spencer Carr's biography of McCullers summed up McCullers' writing as follows: "I have used the word 'heart', but it is not an adequate word to describe the core of Carson McCullers' genius....I believe, in fact I know, that there are many, many with heart who lack the need or gift to express it. And therefore Carson McCullers is what I would call a necessary writer: She owned the heart and the deep understanding of it, but in addition she had that 'tongue of angels' that gave her power to sing of it, to make of it an anthem."

5 out of 5 stars The unique lady of the "South".......2001-10-20

Until very recently, it was quite difficult to find a nice hardback copy of Mc Culler's novels. Each one of them is absolutely priceless and unforgettable; believe me when I tell you that "The Ballad of the Sad Café" is one of those stories that long remain on your mind. Mc Culler's novels, clearly influenced by Faulkner, surpass the master himself in magnetism, , power of storytelling and above all, characterization. If you add to all this a dose of gothic dark strangely ambivalent sense of humour, the result is certainly a writer utterly impossible to classify, novels that you really enjoy reading and characters that you are very unlikely to forget. Besides I am fully in love with the Library of America hardback editions and Mc Cullers certainly deserves to be included in this collection.
Later, if you want to give yourself a treat, go and buy her autobiography, although unfinished, a memorable book.

    Book Description

    This important military document presents the Department of Defense's roadmap for developing and employing Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and Unmanned Combat Air Vehicles (UCAVs) over the next 25 years (2002 to 2027). DoD's operational UAV systems include Predator, Hunter, Shadow, and Pioneer which have demonstrated tremendous capability in recent military operations. Developmental systems such as Global Hawk and many small UAV systems have also been put to the test in recent combat and combat support operations. Taken as a whole, this technology area offers profound opportunities to transform the manner in which this country conducts a wide array of military and military support operations. As with any new technology, there is naturally some reluctance to transition to a radically new capability. The need to fully demonstrate UAVs in combat and realistic training environments is critical to the migration of this technology. The overarching goal of this roadmap, in concert with the Defense Planning Guidance (DPG), is to define clear direction to the Services and Departments for a logical, systematic migration of mission capabilities to a new class of military tools. The goal is to address the most urgent mission needs that are supported both technologically and operationally by various UAV systems. Some missions can be supported by the current state of the art in unmanned technology where the capabilities of current or near-term DoD assets are sufficient and the risk to DoD members is relative low. Other mission areas, however, are in desperate need of additional capability and present high risk to aircraft crews. These mission areas, highlighted in this roadmap, will receive significant near-term effort by the Department. This Roadmap describes the Services' ongoing UAV efforts (Section 2) and identifies the capabilities needed by theater commanders to which UAVs could be applied (Section 3), then couples them to emerging technologies (Section 4) and operational concepts (Section 5) that could enable these capabilities within the Services' programs. The resulting Roadmap (Section 6) links capability-enhancing technologies to the life cycles of current and projected UAV programs. It is a map of opportunities, not point designs - a description of the future potential of UAVs. This Roadmap also provides a current snapshot of the status of the Department's numerous unmanned aviation efforts. There are over 100 detailed illustrations, charts, graphs, photographs, and tables; the document was issued in December 2002.

    1 out of 5 stars Not as good as I remember..........2007-06-03

    When I was younger, I read the Iron Tower Trilogy, and remember it being a good jaunt, though a basic copy of Tolkien. In any case, who cares, if you like those types of stories.

    In this, the adventure itself is not bad, though does drag out after a while.

    The worst part is the preaching that others here have mentioned. I found myself just flipping pages to get by the "Man is destroying the world, thourhg pollution, uncaring disregard" stuff, as well as the "Noah's Story is not logical" speech...

    Good grief! It would have been much better without the soapbox, but for me, that killed an otherwise OK story. The first half of the book was good then, you end up getting more and more "stories" being told with political views...I would spend your money elsewhere.

    1 out of 5 stars I can't believe anyone would give this 5 stars........2005-05-19

    Not only is the plot stolen, this guy just doesn't know how to use language. The strained pretentiousness of the dialogue and the irritating misuse of what he barely gleaned of "Olde English" while reading the Cliffnotes to Beowulf, made me stop every 5 minutes and think, "What am I doing reading this tripe?"

    I really don't know. Don't waste your time. If you're looking for classic fantasy, read Tolkien. If you want something slightly more modern -- though still given to purple prose -- check out George Martin. And if you want TRULY first-class modern fantasy, Philip Pullman's "The Golden Compass" should be first on your list. But don't bother with this.

    5 out of 5 stars The only book I have recommended to EVERYONE I know.......2003-11-23

    This was the first book of Dennis McKiernans' I ever read; it wasn't the last. I've told everyone I know to read this book and have even given it to several people.
    I tried to read the Hobbit series several times and I just can't get into it. I can't put this book down. The characters are so well developed that they don't just talk to each other; they talk to you. You truly feel that you are there, observing the going-ons in person. The comments about humans and religion are right-on the spot. Some of the events described in the book can make you laugh, others will make you cry, still others will make you ponder. Well worth reading any and every chance you get.

    5 out of 5 stars An Amazing, Unforgettable Story.......2003-08-22

    I read fantasy novels for my own entertainment. I do not concern myself with trifles. I simply want to read something fun. If you enjoyed Lord of the Rings, you probably will enjoy this. It was entertaining and that is my sole criteria in a fantasy novel.

    McKiernan is an extraordinary storyteller. I will be thinking about the ending for months. The villain, Baron Stoke, is the absolute best, worst villain I've ever encountered in movie or novel. He makes that evil, child-murdering British captain in the Patriot movie look like Richard Simmons.

    If I simply like a book, I give it 3 stars. If I thought it was a great book, I give it 4, but if the power of the story continues to haunt me long after I've shelved the book, it gets 5. Get in your most comfortable reading chair and enjoy Eye of the Hunter.

      Book Description

      This comprehensive and authoritative DVD-ROM provides a guide to all types of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) - including military craft, NASA projects, and research vehicles. This incredible collection of official documents and photographs contains over two gigabytes of material - equivalent to about four CD-ROMs of information!

      Projects and topics covered include:

      DOD UAV RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT, OPERATIONAL SYSTEMS - including current use in Afghanistan and other locations, research plans, technical reports and papers. UAV's are defined as powered aerial vehicles sustained in flight by aerodynamic lift over most of their flight path and guided without an onboard crew. They may be expendable or recoverable and can fly autonomously or piloted remotely. UAVs are a key element within the concept of information dominance. Historically the greatest use of UAVs have been in the areas of intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance.

      DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY'S ATMOSPHERIC RADIATION MEASUREMENT - UNMANNED AEROSPACE VEHICLE (ARM-UAV) PROGRAM - which resulted in the requirement for a long endurance UAV capable of carrying an instrumented payload to altitudes above 60,000 feet, conducted with General Atomics - Aeronautical Systems "GNAT" and "Altus" UAVs. Extensive and well-illustrated coverage of the nine major field measurement campaigns conducted since 1993 is included. Accomplishments include the first science flights using a UAV in 1994.

      MILITARY UAV ROADMAP - This important military document presents the Department of Defense's roadmap for developing and employing Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and Unmanned Combat Air Vehicles (UCAVs) over the next 25 years.

      This DVD-ROM has over 15,000 pages - many reproduced using Adobe Acrobat PDF software and Reader software is included. Other files are provided in their native format. There is no other reference that is as fast, convenient, comprehensive, and portable!

      Our discs are privately-compiled collections of official public domain U.S. government files and documents - they are not produced by the federal government. They are designed to provide a convenient user-friendly reference work, utilizing the benefits of the Acrobat format to uniformly present thousands of pages that can be rapidly reviewed or printed without untold hours of tedious searching and downloading. This book-on-a-disc makes a superb reference work and educational tool.

      This DVD-ROM disc is for use in a computer DVD drive. The files can be accessed from the File Explorer in the same way that you open files from a CD-ROM disc; the CD-ROM and DVD-ROM formats are functionally the same. Of course, this disc cannot be "played" in a DVD player connected to a television set. It contains computer-formatted data, not video.

      1 out of 5 stars Dont buy this!.......2005-07-04

      This DVD has nothing to do with the US Government other than it has US Government Web pages on it. Amazon should remove the reference in the title "by US Government" as it seems to infer that the DVD is produced by the US Government - this is completely untrue.
      This DVD has nothing to do with 2005 other than that it may have some 2005 web pages amongst the data - I could not see any.
      Its title "2005 Complete Guide to UAVs" is very deceptive! There is basically no recent information off any relevance on this CD. It has old information and there is nothing that cannot be quickly found on the web using Google. It has some newer (2004) US DoD web pages with press releases of little relevance.
      DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!

      5 out of 5 stars An excellent book, fun, factual and a refreshing style........1999-07-18

      We picked this book up at a yard sale, and as you can see I'm on the net searching for more of William Boniface!!!. I loved the style in which the events are written. The ideas for the treasure hunters adventures were terrific and the information section towards the end, saved me a great deal of time and explanation!. My 4 year old loved the story. I believe this book stretches a childs mind and leads them down new paths of discovery.
