Algebra 1 or Calculators for the Stupid?.......2001-05-15
This book pretends to be an Algebra 1 textbook, but is more of a calculator instruction manual. A child who completes a course based upon this book will be highly proficient in the use of his or her calculator, but will not have gained an iota of mathmatical skill or knowledge. If you are considering this book, I suggest you pull the instruction book from the box your calculator came in, it is just as useful and not near as heavy. On the upside, the book has lots of pretty colors.
Great Book!.......2000-06-13
I am student from Oklahoma. I have used this book in our Algebra I class. This book is truly a terrific book. This book has real-life situations and great examples! If you are planning to buy this book than absolutely do. After you use this book you won't want to buy any other. Heath Algebra I. A book designed for the modern world.
Perfect!.......2000-03-18
I as a student had Saxton math books. I didn't like them very much. When I got into High School we were introduced into the Heath mathematics course. These books have real - life applications and real life equations in them. They also get you ready for the math courses you take in College.

Excellent book for self study.......2000-07-07
I returned to college after 15 years. Before taking the math placement tests, I studied Algebra 1 and Algebra 2 - I placed into precalculus and received an A in this class. I credit the books for giving me these results - prior to this I was a poor math student. I have just finished calculus (1st class) with an A. I really recommend both of these books. They helped me enormously - and I have regained confidence in my math abilities.
Best of the Best for Algebra 2.......2000-05-28
As a seventh grader who took algebra 2, I can say I know math. This textbook is a wonderful apporach and gives real life applications for seemingly useless algebra. Great book! If interested in algebra, buy it!
This is a textbook?.......2000-03-27
VERY POOR TEXTBOOK. POOR EXPLANATIONS. POOR EXAMPLES. POOR TEACHING TIPS. THIS BOOK SHOULD NEVER BE USED IN SCHOOLS.

Book Description
Machine Design presents the subject matter in an up-to-date and thorough manner with a strong design emphasis. This textbook emphasizes both failure theory and analysis as well as emphasizing the synthesis and design aspects of machine elements. The book points out the commonality of the analytical approaches needed to design a wide variety of elements and emphasizes the use of computer-aided engineering as an approach to the design and analysis of these classes of problems. About 100 new problems will be added throughout the book, and certain topics are updated and enhanced.
Customer Reviews:
Good, but not great. .......2007-03-25
This is a good book, but an incorporated CD for the book, and a more in-depth explanation in certain areas would make the book even better.
The book has a lot of information but lacks many explanations. The book includes numerous machine design examples, "many are repeated or the author reused them for other examples" and key machine design information which displays various concepts and applications.
But overall, it is a good Mechanical engineering machine design reference book.
Great but not perfect.......2005-12-05
This book is great, it includes lots of information, many examples and real case studies that show you how these concepts can be applied. There is a ton of information in this book and defiantly a great source to have for reference. I did get a CD in mine, and seems to work just fine.
As for the downsides, many examples are repeated. vice grips, certain setups of shafts, etc. This is annoying because it doesn't express diversity.
also there are a lot of vague questions, with not very well stated parameters. If the professor understands and embraces this then it is good because it allows you to do some real design engineering where you have to make assumptions. again the prof has to understand this as your answers may vary due to assumptions. I had to learn to annotate my answers to describe every step and assumption.
overall it is a good book, but seems to lack explanation in a couple areas, but much better than the last book i used, Theory of Machines and Mechanisms by John Joseph Uicker. that book is no good!
No CD ROM and Nowhere to be Found on Net.......2005-12-05
Book is worth the price. However, there in NO CD ROM included with the book, and the directions given at the front of the book regarding where to download the software is incorrect. Neither the author's nor the publisher's websites offer the software for anyone except professors adopting the book.
I am tempted to return the book just for that shabby attention to details.
GREAT BOOK.......2005-11-23
The best review for this book is in the autor's preface:
"This textbook is designed to be an improvement over those currently available and to provide methods and techniques that take full advantage of the graphics microcomputer. It emphasizes design and synthesis as well as analysis. Example problems, case studies, and solution techniques are spelled out in detail.
While this book attempts to be thorough and complete on the engineering-mechanics topics of failure theory and analysis, it also emphasizes the synthesis and design aspects of the subject to a greater degree than most other texts in print on this subject. It points out the commonality of the analytical approaches needed to design a wide variety of elements and emphasizes the use of computer-aided engineering as an approach to the design and analysis of these classes of problems."
The book you love to hate........2005-11-14
First off, a little background. I'm a 3'd year technology student, this book was the forces (*cough *cough), assigned material for one of my classes.
About the book. It covers many important topics related to the mechanical engineering field. As such it is a pretty handy source of reference, and can be used to quicky refresh one's memory in a particular subject.
The writing style of this book however, is very poor. It is boring, hard to follow and the examples provided are repetitive and do not explain a lot of things. I once voiced my complaint about the book to our professor, to which i got the following response. "Well, this book was written for the university level". If following a university level book is supposed to take more effort than understanding the actual subject matter, then i guess Mr Norton has done his job!

Becoming Scientifically Literate in Today's World.......2006-03-20
I am reading the book in conjunction with The Teaching Company's "The Joy of Science," which is presented by the Professor Hazen. The purpose of both is give you a background in the sciences-Physics, Chemistry, Earth Sciences and Biology-to make you scientifically literate for today's technical world. This sounds impossible because of the scope of the task. However through clear writing, examples found in the everyday world and excllent illustrations they achieve their goal.
The book is geared for a nontechnical person. It is not designed to prepare someone to be a scientist or engineer. Thus the authors keep the mathematics to a minimum. The book is very readable. As a result of the book I now understand the basics of relativity and genetics. Both are areas I had trouble before.
Textbook review.......2005-10-04
Got here kind of slow but the sender apologized in advance. Could be in better shape but you cant expect perfection now can you?
Good intentions with conceptual problems.......2004-09-14
The book covers a lot of subjects with the intention of providing a basic aproach to science. There are, however, conceptual mistakes or lack of precise characterization of important concepts. For instance, it confuses heat with internal energy ( not heat as energy in transit). Also it does not defines mass adequatetly as a measure of inertia, which may cause confusion when one studies relativity. These were problems detected at first sight. The book needs a revision. I suggest to by, through Amazon, "Integrated Science", by Tillery, Enger and Roos, from Mc Graw Hill, to get a general view of fundamental science with a more clear, and rigorous definition of terms.
Great for non-Science major.......2000-02-20
As a business major, satisfying a Science requirement, I have found this book to be informative, interesting and great fun. I believe it to be will written and thorough. Information is wonderfully balanced by illustrations, fyi's and interesting supplemental facts. I have one significant complaint to register with the authors/publishers of this text. The review and discussion questions should be answered either at the end of the book or in the review book. It is extremely disappointing that these answers are not available. As a student with a 3.86 average, I take my education very seriously and find it discouraging and somewhat insulting that I can not check my own work. I would STRONGLY suggest that those answers are made available within the text or on web. Thanks!

Where's the Errata.......2003-06-08
The content of the book is ok. But if you are unfamiliar with the subject and need the answers in the back of the book to check your work, you will just end up frustrated and confused. So far I estimate 30% of the answers in the back of the book are wrong and there is no errata listed for the book from the publisher.

Ignore the negative foolishness.......2005-01-18
Unfortunately, we have reached a point in time where some individuals desire to move to the next level without adequate preparation. I have observed this tendency in a number of the reviews covering various disciplines. You may be able to pilot a Piper Cub but this does not mean that you can pilot a DC-10.
If you understand that physiology is an integrated course requiring some preparation in biology, biochemistry (not a lot), and general chemistry; with this text your future in physiology is indeed bright! Otherwise, consider another discipline. I use(legally)some of the flowcharts and concept maps (in Silverthorn's book) in my general chemistry and general biochemistry courses. My students find them of great value! I also team teach a course in physiology for undergraduates. I am currently lobbying for switch to the Silverthorn text.
Each chapter ends with a summary and questions that are divided into levels. For examle, in Chapter 2 of the second edition the questions are divided into the following levels: (a) Reviewing Facts and Terms, (b) Reviewing Concepts, (c) Problem Solving, and (d) Quantitative Problems. In addition, the student can explore further by visiting the Silverthorn Companion Website.
The book is indeed integrated! Eventhough physiology is the main focus, biochemistry, cell biolgy , membranes, etc., have been skillfully included in a manner that enhance rather than distract from the subject matter. The figures are simple but present clearly the intended message!
There is currently a third edition of the text which I intend to purchase out of curiosity. I am anxious to discover if the second editon can be improved. If you wish to learn relevant and integrated physiology, buy this book now!
excellent.......2004-02-12
excellent text! Dr. Dee does a great job at explaining the integration of the body's systems. easy to read text, though not overly simplified; wonderful flow charts & diagrams (these are what got me an A in the class seeing as how i'm a visual learner); "running problems" through out the chapters that test your knowledge along the way. i also highly recommend purchasing/using the accompanying CD-ROM-- very helpful.
You got to be kidding.......2003-09-17
This book has nothing intergrated in it. This woman who claims to write the best physiology textbooks around must be lying.
Her book is [not good]. It leaves out too many details, has a bunch of senseless flow charts that tell you nothing and provides no explanation. I have a copy of her book and it is thinnner the most physiology textbooks. I wonder why its thinner then most other physiology textbooks? Well its because she does not take time to explain the physiology of the human body.
She maybe a good teacher but she can't write a textbook for anything. A 10 year old child can write a better physiology textbook.
I would not buy this book at all. Bad book!
You want a good physiology and anatomy textbook? I recommend Hole's anatomy and physiology textbook. Hole's anatomy and physiology textbook makes Dr. Silverthorn's textbook look like something you clean your car windows with.
Amazing pease of work!!!.......2003-04-24
Having been studying molecular biology for 3 years, this is without a doubt the best book I have read so far! It may leave out some details yes, but the context and the easy-read of the book is truly amazing! Contains well presented diagrams, work-charts, tables and figures - makes it really easy to get a quick overview and understand the basics of human physiology.
Every student in the field of biological sciences should have a copy of this book!
Human Physiology: An Integrated Approach.......2000-11-02
An excellent book for a first-year physiology student. It's an easy to read text filled with colorful diagrams and flow charts. At the end of each chapter is a short summary, and review questions of varying levels of difficutly. There's even websites listed where you can learn more, as well as the Prentice Hall website which lists even more review questions. An accompanying student workbook is also available. It's the best physiology textbook I know of.
Book Description
This textbook integrates financial and managerial accounting as opposed to keeping these areas separate, the approach followed by most books and curriculums. By "integration", we mean the authors focus on the business process and examine the activities from both an external, financial reporting perspective and an internal, management decision-making perspective. The text incorporates real world applications, including actual financial statements, to reinforce the relevance of topics to real business situations and promote student interest. The text also promotes active learning through
Pause & Reflect "probing" questions placed sporadically throughout each chapter,
Of Interest boxes that provide additional information relating to the chapter concepts, new
Fast Fact boxes that provide additional information related to chapter concepts in a short, trivia-like manner, and
end-of-chapter group exercises.
There are three key distinctions to the Ainsworth/Deines approach. They are: 1. Integration - described in preceding paragraph. 2. Within the context of business processes, Ainsworth/Deines is organized by
planning for activities,
performing those activities (in other words, capturing them in the financial statements), and finally,
evaluating those business activities. 3. An organization around the Statement of Cash Flows first focusing on Operating Activities (what is my business, my product, who are my customers?) and then Financing and Investing Activities (how do I fund my business, how do I expand, what are the financial risks, etc?).

just not that great.......2006-10-06
This book falls way short in providing adequate examples and leaves you guessing many times on how to handle cetain scenarios.
Just in time.......2005-09-23
I was to be in college two days after I ordered this book and it showed up in time that I got to take it with me to college instead of my mom having to send it to me from home (about 600 miles away). Thanks y'all.
Great Accounting Book.......2004-12-02
This is a great accounting book for any entry-to-intermidiate-level accounting class. I'd recommend it to anyone who needs good definitions, as well as numerous examples and exercises at the end of each chapter. Due to the volume of the chapters, it is usually taught for 2 semesters.
It would be difficult if used w/o prior knowledge in the accounting field, and w/o an instructor.
You definitely need online access to the additional tests, tables...information.
Hope that helps!
