Customer Reviews:

DO NOT BUY.......2007-06-08

This book only pulls out the definitions from the text, no outline information as indicated is provided. May be if you buy the additional internet sample tests it could be more useful, but I was not about to waste more money with this book or company.

The best on research methodology for business.......2003-08-03

One have to think on scientific research. There are lots of good books on research methodology for social sciences, engineering and other technology related sciences. But for business and management this one is the best I found. Comprehensive, logical and easy to follow. Very suitable for undergraduate students.

Good book, but way overpriced.......2002-08-09

This is a good book for the business student or consultant that has to frequently perform research and data analysis. Several methods and concepts are outlined. The topic of "research methods and data analysis" is not the most exciting; so don't have your expectations high that it's going to be interesting reading. On the other hand, if your objective is to learn how to apply certain techniques in data analysis, research, or conducting surveys, you'll find this book helpful....
I had bought this book...(used, but in excellent condition) so it was a great buy...

Long tarded explanation, but lots of examples.......2001-04-11

Now, I bought this book for my degree requirement. The explanation might be long winded at some time, but the examples given are really good. It make me able to comprehend it easily. The graphics in this book is not too good as the publisher tends to use only one colour which can make reading become boring. This book can be used as a good reference as it explains steps about conducting research and how to present written report. This book can be more interesting if simple,direct explanation is used.

Good elementary overview of research methodology.......2000-10-25

This book is not as advanced as the PhD level, but it is a good supplement to PhD material. If you've ever been there, you know Cook and Campbell can be hard to understand, and Sekaran explains most concepts at a very easy level.

Book Description

Paul Gerhard Prestegaard was a die-hard, square-jawed Norwegian, with all the principles and authoritativeness that description summons. He was also a fun-loving family man who lived to tell stories, none more so than his own set forth here. Included in his pithy commentaries are a brush with Lindbergh before the famous Paris flight, building several businesses from scratch, the path to secure several patents and overall living a large life. Included also are investment recommendations honed from hard experience, remembrances by family and friends, and a historic family timeline.

Book Description

Frederick Douglass' Leadershop role in the anit-slavery struggle is well known. Even so, much about his life and his role in the black liberation movement is unknown. Wu Jin-Ping reevaluates Douglass' place in the history of the black liberation movement, paying particular attention to Doublass' impact on other black leaders, and to Douglass' Legitimate Reform Strategy.

Customer Reviews:

Jin-Ping makes a vibrant contribution to Douglass scholarshi.......2001-12-25

This text was useful to me in my recent research on the relationship between the U.S. Constitution and slavery from 1842-1861. It is certainly not the most thorough or detailed analysis of Douglass' life, especially when one considers that Douglass wrote more in-depth accounts of his own life than any future scholar would. However, it is quite useful in that it aptly catalogues the political shifts which Douglass underwent in his life and the impact of his ideas on American and European society.
Jin-Ping's text narrates Douglass' shift from radical, anti-constitutional abolitionist to Lincoln supporter adeptly. Douglass' activism was particularly important in that he was the most prominent anti-slavery orator who actually experienced slavery, and that he always walked a fine line between simple anti-slavery spokesman and revolutionary. If you are looking for an in-depth account of Douglass' life, read one of his autobiographies. However, if you are looking for a fascinating analysis of his politics and its impact, Jin-Ping's work will suit you well.

Book Description

No tears were shed when the hunt went cold for "The Saint" -- an elusive vigilante who earned folk hero status after fatally pumping twelve bullets into a known pedophile. Now, a year later, in the blistering heat of the hottest Minnesota summer in memory, a priest has been executed in a church confessional -- a medal of Nicholas, patron saint of children, stuffed into his mouth. The Saint may be back -- and retired law enforcement officer Phil Broker is being called into service as a favor to a friend. Only an outsider can dig deeply enough into an investigation the police seem to have no enthusiasm for -- but for Broker, it means stirring up dangerous ghosts from his own haunted past. And once he himself becomes the hunted, there will be nowhere to turn for sanctuary. Because this time the killer might be a cop ...

Download Description

E-book extra: "Phil Broker: Old-Fashioned Hero Whose Time Has Come." When the body of a priest is found with the medallion of Saint Nicholas -- the patron saint of small children - tucked into his mouth, former cop Phil Broker is recruited to stop a vigilante's murderous rage.

Great Ending!.......2007-08-08

It's July in Stillwater, Minnesota. It's hotter than hot and about to get hotter as the town moves into record breaking temperatures.

After a known pedophile was killed last year, the murder was quickly shoved under the rug because no one was too concerned. Unfortunately, the recent murder of a priest, believed to be a pedophile, suggests the murders will continue. The murder of a priest isn't something people are soon to forget about. The media has sensationalized the killer by naming him "the Saint" because of the St. Nicholas medallion (patron saint of children) left behind at all the scenes.

The police force doesn't have the time or resources to handle the case so retired cop Phil Broker is brought back because of his involvement in the original search for the killer and to help take care of one of the suspects; fellow officer Harry Cantrell is an alcoholic with a quick and sometimes volatile temper. He and Phil used to be partners and best friends until a falling out split them apart. Phil's side mission is to make sure Harry gets into rehab. Harry also has a well publicized hate-on for pedophiles. The other suspect is lawyer Gloria Russell who lost a case that put a pedophile back on the street.

I enjoyed reading Vapor Trail which is the sequel to the hit police thriller Absolute Zero but you don't have to have read it to enjoy this novel's plot and characters. The characters were true to life and the plot was suspenseful. There wasn't a lot of jargon to distract from the storyline or flow of reading. The ending was great. I thought things were going one way and they ended up going the other, for the betterment of the story. I recommend reading Vapor Trail and I would also like to read more from this author.

Quite a few loose ends in this one........2004-10-22

I found that this thriller left quite a few loose unexplained threads when the story ended. I liked Broker, and think he has possibility to be a good main character, but I found that he wasn't actually shown in the best light in this one. He was hired on as a special consultant to find the person who is going around killing presumed pedophiles. He does some preliminary background checks, but I found he really didn't follow up on a lot of the information that he supposedly got. He seemed to be along for the ride when the plot stepped up and got there more or less by accident when things started happening. Too many loose ends to mention without giving the story away, so not, I'm afraid, my favourite thriller.

A solid mystery.......2004-07-10

This is a very straightforward, compelling mystery/police novel. The characters are well developed and the story moves along at a quick pace. There is not a lot of superfluous exposition in Mr. Logan's novels. He writes about characters and plot and his stories are interesting and easy to read.

Logan scores again.......2003-09-30

Chuck Logan is one of those rare talents that just keep getting better as they go, even though they started off with a bang. You can read any of his first novels, and get the same feeling that he's been there, lived it, and has inherited the story-teller's gene needed to make it real for the reader. Great, believable characters, incisive writing, a very much appreciated brevity of language, and intelligent plots grace all of his books. I read an earlier review that panned "VAPOR TRAIL" based on a lack of descriptive prose about Stillwater, Minnesota. Time to read some nonfiction, pal. I read Chuck Logan and John Sanford for gripping suspense, action, humor, and, HELLOOOOO, entertainment, not for a lesson in geography.
Well, "Vapor Trail" has it all, in spades, ( as they say), and I enjoyed it tremendously!
One thing more....Logan is on my very short list of authors that I'll buy without bothering to read the blurb on the back page. He writes it, I'll enjoy it. Buy "Vapor Trail" without reservations. You won't be disappointed.

SAINTS AND SINNERS.......2003-06-27

Broker's back and now instead of freezing to death, he's fiery hot in "Vapor Trail." You don't think of Minnesota having such tremendous heat waves, but like their winters, this one is excessive. The villain in this one is called "The Saint." He or she disposed of a known pedophile who got off on technicalities, taking justice into his or her hands. Now a year or so later, the Saint returns wiping out a priest who had been accused of fondling a teenage girl. She (we now know it's a she?) has a list of people she plans to dispose of, and thus the journey begins.
Throw in the cop who used to be Broker's friend, who is now an alcoholic and renegade, and who could possibly be the Saint; the ambitious attorney Gloria Russell, who has a picture of the young victim in her office; and Broker's ex-girlfriend, Janey, and you've got a potboiler going.
Logan agains masters his skill of believable characters, a strong feel for his surroundings and a great twist at the end. The identity of the Saint...ah, well, you just have to read it...great reading.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

A Valiant Try.......2006-11-26

First, let me say that this is a reasonable attempt at a transcription given that the mastering of the recording was badly botched and there are, like, 20000 guitar parts a song. Any attempt to reduce the guitar parts to 3 or 4 tracks is bound to suffer. That's where a sense of musicality and an understanding of the guitarist is needed to fill in gaps. Unfortunately, this transcription doesn't have it.
