Unbelievable deal!.......2007-10-08

I have been looking for a deal on these three core rule books for a while. I didn't feel like paying full price for the books since D&D 4.0 is coming next summer. I had just about decided that I would have to get used copies when I happened upon the Borders website. I had no idea that Borders and Amazon worked together. All three books come in a single boxed set and together the cost is less than 2/3 what buying them seperately would be. in fact, it's less than buying the three used separately. The box is nice and sturdy and features some cool artwork. If you are just starting out with the 3.5 ruleset, I don't think you can find a better price.

Good Stuff.......2007-09-29

The core rule book set is a nice addition for any D&D gamer. They are nice books and the box holder is a nice addition. It keeps the books together so you can grab them quickly. I would suggest this pack for those of you who want to start gaming or need new books. The price was reasonable and we would recommend them to others happily.

The books are colorful and the paper highquality. These books last through years and years of reference and play. They are must have for all gamers.

Dungeons & Dragons.......2007-09-28

The book came on time and in good condidtion.
My son was thrilled with the books and could not wait for them to come. The minute they showed up he disappeared into his room and didn't come out for hours.

Fantastic game for a fantastic price.......2007-08-24

D&D is a fantastic game, and for this price, it would have been a sin to miss. This three book was design to be definitely enough if you do not want to be invest more into the game -- magnificent tips to the dungeon masters to desing your own monsters, magic items, adventures and worlds, tons of spells, weapons and everything you can imagine. I can hardly put them aside.

D&D Core Rulebook Review.......2007-08-24

These books were purchased for my son who is 17 and just got into D&D. He actually asked for only the first book. When realizing there were other core books and the great price on the 3 book set, I had to get it for him. He was thrilled receiving extra books and had indicated that this is a great started set for persons new to D&D as well as experienced players.

Customer Reviews:

I purchased 5 books and am so glad I did!!!.......2007-09-18

This book is truly a great deal. Hard cover, spiral so the book lays flat. Plastic insert to keep your pages clean. One of the best books for a beginner cook. Directions on cuts of meat, how to carve a turkey, different herbs and their use, different kinds of mushrooms, measurements and equivalents, cooking times, all kinds of tips and very helpful directions... I could go on with that but it's quite clear :-) Great Indexes and each section has it's own little indexe. Recipes are easy to follow and the ones I have tried so far are delicious. I have four children and each one is receiving the book as a present for christmas! Definitely worth the money.

Another Taste Of Home great!.......2007-08-27

I honestly didn't expect anything less than great and that is what I got! It is a good book with real food for real families!

truly the best cookbook.......2007-07-30

I received this cookbook a few weeks ago as a bridal shower gift. I am getting married in September, and I am not the best of cooks, but I am trying to learn. I can cook basic things (e.g. stir fry) and follow recipes. Luckily, my fiance is an awesome cook, but both he and I were sick of complicated recipes that involved too many pots and pans (we don't have a dishwasher) and too many one-time-use grocery purchases. (Like clam juice or mustard seed.) This cookbook is amazing. Every recipe we have tried has turned out and tasted FABULOUS. Most of the recipes are quite simple and use things that we already have or would buy anyway. The cookbook also has great, simple tips on cooking techniques and food information. Someone at my bridal shower told me it would be the only cookbook I would ever need and they were right!

Pleasantly Surprised But Shouldn't Have Been.......2007-07-15

I ordered this cookbook as a wedding gift for a young woman who doesn't know much about cooking. The reason for choosing this cookbook over others is the reputation of Taste of Home magazine and it's recipes.

The book arrived and now I want a copy of my own. And I've been cooking for over 60 years. I lust for this book.

It's a perfect combination of information for new cooks, mouth watering pictures, and yummy sounding recipes that the more experienced cook would like to try. And it does all this in the TOH special down-to-earth style. Not snooty and above the rest of us as some cookbooks tend to be.

I highly recommend this book for young folks starting out on their own. Whether in marriage, career, or some combination. A perfect first cookbook.

Awesome Recipes.......2007-07-15

I have always enjoyed a great recipe and knowing that "Taste of Home" has never let me down, I chose this as a gift for a friend. I then decided that it was too good a cookbook to not have for myself and purchased one also. I was indeed correct; my family has not had one recipe from this book that was not enjoyed. A real winner for the novice or experienced cook or baker.

Book Description

The second edition of the highly acclaimed American Accent Training, now on 5 audio CDs, is for foreign-born students and business people working, traveling or studying in the United States and Canada. Through extensive intonation and pronunciation exercises, students learn how to speak with a standard American Accent. At the same time, listening comprehension improves dramatically. Supplementary materials included detailed nationality guides for eight languages (Chinese, Japanese, Indian, Spanish, French, German, Russian and Korean), access to a comprehensive website, and referral to a qualified telephone analyst for an individual diagnostic speech analysis. Also included are colored markers for written exercises, and a mirror to practice accurate pronunciation.

Customer Reviews:

This is it!.......2007-09-16

Great for English-as-a-second-language, or for those who just want to sound more American. American Accent Training is THE tool for developing your American Accent. I am American born, from the Midwest, so I bought it to help me learn how to speak better in my own native tongue. Most people don't realize that there is a unique, distinct accent that is truly American. And, contrary to popular belief, the American Accent once developed will make you sound more intelligent and confident. Most Americans want to learn Spanish or some other foreign language; I say learn your own language first before stumbling into something else!

The American pronunciation building.......2007-09-15

This book is helpful for everybody who is training his or her pronunciation and intonation. It gives you possibilities to master your pronunciation with routine practice when you follow the instructions in the book. The book helps you to hear, understand and build the music of the language. It contains helpful exercises for every sound and intonation stress. The voice and pronunciation on CD are very clear and professional. I enjoy using The American Accent Training guide.

American Accent Training.......2007-09-03

If you are looking for a book to improve your skills with speaking and pronouncing American English, then this is the book for you. The text comes with the CD-ROM that goes through everything written in the book, then provides space for the student to repeat back what has been said if the student is working on his or her own. However, it is also quite useful as a text for in-class work and one-on-one tutoring to help non-native speakers improve their American accent, with the CD-ROM providing supplemental training opportunities for the really motivated student.

The emphasis in Ann Cook's approach is to practice the vocal patterns associated with standard American English, rather than to focus on the exactly correct and distinct pronounciation of each word. In the process, students start sounding more natural to the native speakers around them, thereby increasing the students' confidence in the skills they are learning.

This is something you must have. If you are not a native English speaker and have been looking for a good book. This is the one. I bought so many audio books and did not feel right about it, but this one. So this is really worth for your $$.

Book Description

This long awaited successor of the original Cook/Campbell Quasi-Experimentation: Design and Analysis Issues for Field Settings represents updates in the field over the last two decades. The book covers four major topics in field experimentation:

Theoretical matters: Experimentation, causation, and validity;
Quasi-experimental design: Regression discontinuity designs, interrupted time series designs, quasi-experimental designs that use both pretests and control groups, and other designs.
Randomized experiments: Logic and design issues, and practical problems involving ethics, recruitment, assignment, treatment implementation, and attrition.
Generalized causal inference: A grounded theory of generalized causal inference, along with methods for implementing that theory in single and multiple studies.
The final chapter critically reflects on the assumptions and key issues covered in the previous four sections.

The emphasis on the generalized causal inferences is a significant extension of the work done in previous volumes; and the addition of theoretical and practical chapters on randomized experiments will be of great use to researchers who use randomization in their research practice. At the same time, this book retains and expands the emphasis on quasi-experimentation that was the hallmark of Cook and Campbell; and it retains Campbell's classic theoretical and conceptual approach to experimentation that has been so successful over the last 35 years.

Experimental and Quasi Experimental Designs.......2007-09-21

The book arrived in good shape and withing promised time. However when I order books from other sellers they are shipped rightaway and if they have not been shipped it is easy to cancel the order. With Amazon when I tried to cancel the order it said that the order has been processed but it was shipped a week after that. I guess that is the price one has to pay for free shipping.

Great book.......2007-05-27

This is a great book for those who are willing to discover or improve their knowledge about experimental and quasi-experimental designs - it is an essential book, I'd say. It also helps a lot to understand research and science in general. Really helped me in my dissertation.

Excellent for doctoral students.......2007-02-07

I am a doctoral student in public health and recommend this book to my fellow doctoral students out there. It is a thorough and comprehensive text on research methods. I have gone through quite a few texts with similar titles and this stands out as the best.

Very frustrating.......2006-09-30

I am a first year Ph.D. student, and I find this book quite frustrating to read. The reading drags on and on, and I can't really remember what I read. The examples in the book are somewhat helpful, but they do not seem to fully explain the concepts very well. I hope the next edition will have a more comprehensive explanations for the concepts in the book.

Very informative..............2006-04-01

but very boring too! Actually, that's not completely true, it's just the first few chapters that are excruciatingly boring, but once you get past all the introductory material, it's quite informative. I'm reading this right now for my graduate course in experimental design, so I most likely found the first few chapters as boring as I did because I already knew the stuff. Although some pictures would be nice, and I'm talking about more than just the illustrations that they use to...uh... "illustrate" different experimental designs, it's nice that there's not a bunch of fluff to sort through looking for the information that is actually important. It's a well written and pretty easy to comprehend must have for those of in the wacky world of experimental studies.

Customer Reviews:

Mitford cooks.......2007-10-08

I truly enjoy buying cookbooks, more for the stories and the history than for the actual recipe. This book is very entertaining. I simply had to re-read the entire series again, to re-aquaint myself with the characters that contributed the recipies. I spent one entire day reading the cookbook. Have made two of the recipes so far.
The presentation of story then recipe is a terrific idea, the family photo album at the back of the book is wonderful.
To be honest, the review I read did not tell me if the Orange-Marmalade cake recipe was in the book or not. I bought it in the high hopes that it was. Very happy to read her story about that particular recipe. Great book for reading even if you do not bake or cook.
This makes Mitford come alive in a brand new way.
I'm writting a family history cookbook, her cookbook gave me some great presentation ideas. It never crossed my mind that I should include pictures of the food on family heriloom china.

MITFORD COOKBOOK - A DELIGHTFUL RECIPE.......2007-09-28

This cookbook is a wonderful addition to the other Mitford books by Jan Karon. With over 150 recipes taken from all of the books it brings back the charm and memories of the stories. The puns, and side bar remarks are precious and it is a delight to read and reread. The recipes are very good too. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It makes a great gift for Christmas.

Orange Marmalade cake was awesome. It was a lot of work but my sister-in-law made it for my birthday and it was wonderful!!!

Jan Karon's Mitford Cookbook and Kitchen Reader.......2007-05-13

After reading several of the Mitford Books, this edition finalized the bond between me, the reader, and the characters who populated the pages. In reading the different volumes, the reader becomes aware of the place that food occupies in the daily lives of the characters. Many times I marveled at Karon's ability to incorporate the preparation of meals to the story line. I was often tempted to seek out the recipes mentioned in her stories. Now that I own the Cookbook I enjoy preparing and sharing some of the very dishes that are attributed to the wonderful characters filling the Mitford Books.

this was a gift for my sister-in-law and I believe everyone should own a copy of this book. It is the most helpful general cookbook I have ever owned and I have given copies to many friends and family members.

Favorite.......2007-09-08

This was my favorite cook book and my daughter thought so too, so I bought her this one for her new home.

Good basic source.......2007-08-16

Great 'learn to cook' source. I sent each of my kids off to their first apartments with a copy.

Love this book!.......2007-07-24

I borrowed the book from the library. This was the only cookbook that I borrowed from the library that I use practically everyday. After renewing the book three times, I think it was time to purchase it. The instructions are easy to follow, the ingredients simple, and I've only had something come out bad once due to a missed ingredient on my part. This book is really great for a beginner to intermediate - where fanciful is not necessary.

Are roasted red peppers the new sun dried tomatoes?.......2007-07-18

The recipes are solid and practical. I use this cookbook as my starter when I'm planning meals for the week. If it doesn't have a recipe for a particular base, then I move on. It works well in that role. I have noticed a number of recipes that would've had sun dried tomatoes as a unique flavor in previous recipes now have roasted red peppers.

The ability of the cookbook to stay open on it's own is a real bonus.

Book Description

Loads of pictures and very frank discussion make this book a pleasure to read, and a real learning tool.

— Craig Maloney, Slashdot Contributor

The author gives lots of practical advice, some of which would be useful even to experienced tinkerers. It is very thorough.

— Edward Chin, The Canadian Linux Users' Exchange

Learning robotics by yourself isn't easy, but it helps when the encouragement comes from an expert who's spent years in the field. Not only does Author David Cook assist you in understanding the component parts of robot development, but he also presents valuable techniques that prepare you to achieve new discoveries on your own.

Cook begins with the anatomy of a homemade robot and gives you the best advice on how to proceed successfully. General sources for tools and parts are provided in a consolidated list, and specific parts are recommended throughout the book. Also, basic safety precautions and essential measuring and numbering systems are promoted throughout.

Specific tools and parts covered include digital multimeters, motors, wheels, resistors, LEDs, photoresistors, transistors, chips, gears, nut drivers, batteries, and more. Robot Building for Beginners is an inspiring book that provides an essential base of practical knowledge for anyone getting started in amateur robotics.

Learning robotics by yourself isn't easy. It helps when the encouragement comes from someone who's been there. Not only does Robot Building for Beginners assist you in understanding component parts of robot development, but also it prepares you with techniques to learn new discoveries on your own.

Author David Cook begins with the anatomy of a homemade robot and gives you the best advice on how to proceed successfully. General sources for tools and parts are provided in a consolidated list, and specific parts are recommended throughout the book. Also, learn basic safety precautions and essential numbering and measuring systems.

An in-depth analysis of digital multimeters gives you all the information you need to select and obtain this valuable tool for yourself. Other tools and parts covered include: motors, wheels, resistors, wire strippers, needle nose pliers, tap and die, alligator clips, LEDs, solderless breadboards, soldering irons, heat-shrink tubing, photoresistors, transistors, chips, gears, nut drivers, screws, cut-off wheels, connectors, and batteries.

Excellent book.......2007-08-01

This is an excellent book for a beginner. I'm a software engineer, didn't have any knowledge about robotics prior to this book, and yesterday I finished building my first robot - Kobi (Jacob, which is a rather biblical name but in hebrew also literally means 'will follow'... as it follows lines of course). Took me about 1-1.5 months to read, gather parts and build.

I live in Israel and didn't want to order all the parts from the web (wanted to get it fast), so I bought what I found in the stores, improvised a little bit (just a bit) and built Kobi.

The book takes you through the electronics, including all the parts and tools to use, and the body building (quite a simple body - adjusting a container). Well written, amusing, very readable, lots of pictures to show the reader how things are supposed to be.

This is my first robotics book. I chose it after reading the excellent reviews on it in Amazon, now I'm adding mine. This book greatly enhanced my knowledge (and practice) in robotics, and I already ordered some more robotics books to learn more.

Beginning Electronics.......2007-06-29

This is an excellent book. It shows you with detailed pictures and explanations exactly how to use electonic components. Very easy to read and understand. I use it as much my son.

Excellent Book, Highly Recommended.......2007-06-17

This is an author who has the beginner in mind. Everything is well explained, no guess work. Pictures and diagrams everywhere. Extremely useful especially if you have low experience in hand work like if you're just out of college. I learns alot about tools, materials, and construction tips that I did not even hear about before. It's not only useful for getting started in robotics but also in electronics. I have an engineering education so I don't know if the author's claim of the information being self contained and no background necessary is right, but in any case, you will get a hell lots of information.

Just what I was looking for!.......2007-06-15

I'm just starting into robotics and have no knowlwdge of electronics. I was thus looking for a beginners book needed to get started. I found that this book "Robot Building for Beginners" to be the best book to start with, even better than the "Robot Building for Dummies". Having got a good start with "Robot Building for Beginners" I am looking forward to reading the next book in the series for more advanced topics.

Fantastic book for jumpstarting a new hobby!.......2007-03-27

My 8-year-old son and I worked our way through this book cover to cover, and found real value on every page. It's intent is clearly on guiding the uninitiated through the design and construction of their very first robot. Along the way, it offers tons of really practical advice on how to pick out the right equipment, where to get the components you'll need, what various components do, and how to work with them. When we were done we had a pretty cool little line following robot, but more importantly we understood how it worked, why it worked, and we had the tools and know-how to take the next step toward designing and building our own creations.

Book Description

This Audio CD is designed for anyone who wants to learn how to recognize bird songs. It features the sounds of 189 different bird species found in the Midwest and Northeast States.

Each bird song recording is followed by a short description of the sound along with a common mnemonic used to remember it. Many well-known song mnemonics such as "Who cooks for you?" for the Barred Owl and "Poor Sam Peabody" for the White-throated Sparrow are included. Following the song and mnemonic, the source of the sound is revealed. By naming the bird at the end of each track, the listener is allowed to wonder and guess at the nature of the sound. Active listening, similar to what one experiences in the field while searching for an unknown bird song, is a key to engaging the memory process.

One way to use this CD is to enable the "Random Play" or "Shuffle" option on a home CD player, portable stereo, or personal computer. Although it may be frustrating at first, repetition of this "quiz" game will quickly improve recognition skills. Gaining familiarity with these songs will greatly increase any bird watcher's enjoyment and awareness of birds in their natural habitat.

Features:

- 189 bird species found in the Midwest and Northeast states
- Digital bird song recordings made in Wisconsin
- Brief narration after each song includes descriptive, memorable and often funny mnemonics
- Can be used as a field guide to learn and identify songs or as a recognition quiz game
- Easy to use alphabetical track listing of all birds and their mnemonics
- It is a great gift for any birdwatcher, beginner or advanced.
- Total running time: 60 minutes

Very good CD.......2007-08-21

After many years of bird watching I decided it was high time I learned to bird by ear.

I'm pretty familiar with the limited species that show up in my Southern California yard (House Finches, House Sparrows, Mourning Doves and Western Scrub Jays mostly).

I've purchased a few different CD's on birding by ear (including the Stokes CD's), but this is the one I like the best. I keep it in my CD player in the car so I can learn/study the bird songs while going to and from work each day.

I have noticed a slight regional accent in some of the birds that I'm familiar with, but it's not so significant that I don't recognise the House Sparrow or the House Finch when I hear it.

I highly recommend this CD to anyone who is trying to learn to bird by ear.

Great for newbies.......2007-06-07

I've lived on a farm or outside the city for most of my life, but never really bothered to figure out the different bird calls. After listening to this CD a couple of times, my wife and I can now pick out some of the different birds. The more calls we learn, the more fun it is to learn more.

Overly Short Songs Presented at Shotgun Speed.......2007-05-25

While the coverage of songs is thorough, the acoustic quality is not nearly as good as four other bird song CDs that I also recently purchased (Stokes - Eastern Region, Peterson Field Guide sets - Eastern, Songbirds Bible by Proctor, Common Bird Songs by Borror). Moreover, the songs are very short, with minimal repetition or variation. It is nice to have narration that follows the songs, so the listener has a chance to guess what type of bird sings each song. However, given that the songs are so short, and the pauses after the songs and before narration are even shorter, there is no time for an advanced beginner birder such as myself to reflect, or even spit out the answer instantaneously. Furthermore, the next song often starts virtually "on top" of the narration (which is little more than just the name of the bird), making it easy to associate the bird name with the wrong song (ie, the song that follows narration rather than the song that precedes).

excellent for beginning and intermediate birders.......2006-08-01

The alphabetical indexing is excellent for those who have not mastered the taxanomic order as found in most lists and books. The presentation of the song before the identification is useful in honing ones ears. Would like it to be longer than the ~110 species presented.

By far the best bird song training & review guide.......2006-07-10

This is an outstanding CD for learning bird songs. Each song starts with the bird song and then the narrator describes the song and provides a short phrase or description that aids you with identifying it, followed again with the essence of the song. This format allows you to quiz yourself. I bought my first copy two years ago and have bought 5 more to give to friends since then. Everyone has commented that its a great guide. I own several other guides including Birding by Ear and More Birding by Ear and this is by far my favorite.

Frugal Recipes Without Feeling Deprived.......2007-10-03

Dining On a Dime is absolutely one of the best thrifty cookbooks available. I love to cook, collect cookbooks, but I was tired of finding recipes that required processed foods, expensive ingredients, etc. Dining On a Dime uses few processed foods to prepare recipes, as most everything is prepared from scratch. This morning I prepared a Slow Cooked Pot Roast (I cook my version on the stove top) and the only ingredients needed were a beef roast, can of cream of mushroom soup and a sliced onion. I also fixed Mom's Beef Stew which used round steak, various spices, Worcestershire sauce, potatoes and carrots. I also prepared dumplings using the baking mix recipe included in the cookbook. The dumplings were mighty tasty when cooked in the beef stew. Very simple and very tasty. Overall, this cook book is a good, basic cookbook which allows the cook to use every day ingredients to prepare tasty meals.

Good resource~.......2007-06-21

A keeper. Lots of tips and good recipes.

A really handy book .......2007-06-08

I use this book mostly for the basic recipes, and it does help in a pinch. It also gives you meal ideas which are pretty easy to make and mostly kid friendly (which is important for me). I have other cookbooks, but I don't really use them because sometimes they require more time or ingredients that I have on hand at the time. This book also has handy tips in the back of the book that include making homemade play dough, soap, and household cleaners. 4.5 stars.

An Excellent Frugal Resource!.......2006-09-10

Dining On A Dime is filled with money-saving recipes, many of which my family has tried and enjoyed. It is more than just a cookbook though. It presents lots of ways to reduce your grocery bills, with shopping and cooking tips galore. There are organizing tips too, as well as the beauty booklet Pretty For Pennies. A great book for every household to have. I can see where a family could save $10,000 a year as is mentioned on page three of the book. Thanks to co-authors Tawra Kellam and Jill Cooper for a wonderful source of savings in the book Dining On A Dime.

wow!.......2006-05-19

This book is so worth the money! It has lots of tips and fun ideas in the beginning, and then lots of great recipies for the bulk of the book. For each section of recipies, she adds more detailed and informative tips for cooking and money saving. I am so thrilled with this book.
I think that is works beautifully with another book, Miserly Moms, which has less recipes and is mostly how-to-save-money in chapter form. Read the Miserly Moms for the info, read Dining for tips and recipies.
I'm so grateful that I provide warm, homecooked meals from scratch and healthy, fresh snacks and lunches for my family on such a tight budget!
Anyway, 5 stars and here's hoping other people get inspired to save their money as I have.
