Differential Equations and Linear Algebra (2nd Edition)

8 reviews
Jerry Farlow, James E. Hall, ...

Prentice Hall, 2007

Craptacular
Unless you use this book straight away after taking an intensive Calculus II course, you're going to have absolutely no clue how they are doing any of the problems. They leave the "explanations" at an unacceptably high-level abstraction so that only those very freshly well-versed in Calculus can venture an understanding. Also contains no refreshers, not even a simple list of common integrals or ...

Cinematherapy Goes to the Oscars
Nancy Peske, Beverly West

Universe Publishing, 2005

Get ready for some of the best movie medicine ever made. The smash hit women's film guide Cinematherapy taught women that comfort, self-acceptance, inspiration, and humor were no farther away than the video store - and inspired the daily primetime show on the WE Network (Women's Entertainment). Now the authors are back with a Cinematherapy take on the Oscar canon and how these award-winning films serve not only as a celluloid pharmacy but also ...

Awesome!
I absolutely adore this book. I work at Bath and Body Works and we carried this for a few months. Every time I worked, I found myself skimming through this. I finally broke down and bought it. I'm so glad I did! It's absolutely fab. No matter what mood you're in, this book has a chapter devoted to it. I've used it on many a night before going to the video store. I've found some of my favorite ...

Dell, 2002

Better Than Before
Advanced Cinematherapy : The Girl's Guide to Finding Happiness One Movie at a Time is pretty much like the orginal Cinematherpy, in the fact that it delivers movies for every emotion possibily known to women. But for those who had a bone to pick with the orginal book (many people complained that the movies listed were ones they had already seen),or if you adore movies from a long ago by-gone era, ...

Not only for gay people, the book lists movies, recipes, and little indulgences that will pamper and pacify even the most stressed out straights on gays. With sections dedicated to Judy, Bette, Madonna, the book streams a ...

Frankly Scarlett, I Do Give a Damn!: Classic Romances Retold

3 reviews
Beverly West, Nancy K. Peske

Harpercollins, 1996

damn good
With all the politically correct retellings of classic tales flying around the book market these days I'm surprised there hasn't been one of these sooner. But now its here and its great. Some of the stories are better that others, Wuthering Heights, The Scarlet Letter and Gone With the Wing are the best but they're all amusing & entertaining. I only hope the authors will honor us with some ...

Cinematherapy for Lovers: The Girl's Guide to Finding True Love One Movie at a Time

2 reviews
Nancy Peske, Beverly West

Delta, 2003

Guys Like to Watch Movies with Girls, too...
I totally disagree with the negative review posted previously. I think movie reviews are entirely subjective (thus the long-standing success of Ebert and Etc.). If everybody thought the same, there wouldn't be a Shrek sequel. Personally, I thought Rear Window was one of the more romantic Hitchcock films, and the restored version is a superb suspensful movie and the romantic tension between James ...

Honor your inner gourmet chick
Or your Inner Guy or vengeful vamp or penny-saving patisserie-dreaming Pollyanna. Beverly West has conjured up culinary, movie, quote and libation magic yet again. The recipes are wonderful too.

Want to Rent an Inspiring Movie and Not Sure What to Choose?
I am always looking for recommendations of those movies I truly do not want to miss, especially when I am renting and overwhelmed by the vast array of movies on the shelves at my local rental outlet. This unique title is chock full of suggestions so that I can look at movies to fit my mood and inspire me accordingly. They list "Antianxiety" movies (I was thrilled to see quotes from Adaptation: ...

West Boylston (Images of America)
Frank A. Brown, Beverly K. Goodale

Arcadia Publishing, 2006

West Boylston is located at what was the junction of the Quinapoxet and Stillwater Rivers and the south branch of the Nashua River. The town?s center developed here to take advantage of the waterpower for industry. In the 1890s, the state of Massachusetts recognized this abundance of water as ideal for a reservoir. In the late 1890s and early 1900s, the center of town and almost all the local industries were destroyed to create the Wachusett ...
