Carpenter Genealogy in North Carolina
In an interview of Irma Carpenter by Jean Gordon for the Daily Courier: "Related families include Eaves, Doggett, Baber, McDaniel, Davis, Haynes, Bridges, Owens, McFails, Tate Carrier, King, Honeycutt, Jackson, Pool, Ward, Six, Justice, Ingram, Hayes, Harrill, Hamrick, Burnett and Morrow. There are more than 1,000 families included in the genealogical chart of Jonathan Carpenter and his descendents." Ms. Carpenter states in the article that she traveled to all 100 counties in North Carolina and "walked through a lot of cemeteries." It is hard to say whether a book is important unless you are hunting research and happen to find it in a book like this which is highly researched by Ms. Carpenter. I hope the listing of the names helps you decide whether this book can help in your genealogical research. ... Read more

Product Description
Swift as a hardworking clergyman, caring for the poor, upholding a standard of decency in worship which was then almost unknown, practicing habits of prayer which he carefully concealed from the eyes of his friends - such is the theme of this book, which, omitting the well-worn subjects dear to the literary critic, succeeds in giving a new picture of the man himself.

The real purpose of these chapters is to give an outline of Swift's religious life, and to sketch something of the work he did during his thirty-two years as Dean of St. Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin.It is particularly necessary to do this in Swift's case, because he himself was so singularly unwilling to advertise the fact that he had a religion of any sort.

At the first casual glance Swift would seem to have little interest in Christianity.It does not leap to the mind at once that Swift was a Church dignitary.Far more publicity attaches to his writings than to his Deanship.The average reader thinks of Swift as the author of Gulliver's Travels and as the writer of bitterly cutting and often scurrilous satires.He does not often realize that Swift was a great Dean. ...

Product Description
'This book represents a real milestone for low vision care because it is one of the first low vision books in the world, and the first from the UK, that doesn't just give lip service to multi-disciplinary collaboration - it has a multi-disciplinary authorship' - Barbara Ryan, Research Associate, School of Optometry and Vision Sciences, Cardiff University, Cardiff, UK. "Low Vision Manual" is a comprehensive guide and up-to-date reference source, written by clinical and research experts in the fields of disease detection and management; primary and secondary optometric care; low vision optics and prescribing; and, counselling and rehabilitation.All these areas are explored in this book in four key sections: section one - definition of low vision and its epidemiology; section two: the measurement of visual function of the visually impaired; section three - the optics and practical tips on prescribing low vision aids; and, section four - rehabilitation strategies and techniques. This is an important reference tool for all professionals involved with the visually impaired. The book covers everything a practitioner will need on a day-to-day basis.Clear layout with practical tips, worked examples and practical pearls will enable the front-line eye-care professional to provide patients with sound, research-based clinical care and rehabilitation. This book is an essential reference for: ophthalmology; optometry; orthoptics; ophthalmic nursing; visual rehabilitation; occupational therapy; social work; peer work; psychology; and, dispensing opticians. ...

Professors: PLEASE use a different textbook
This textbook attempted to cover semester-long courses in a chapter each. It fell a little short.I've broken down the reasons why I felt it was an insufficient text.

Content:
Forensic Chemistry by definition is a very specific application (as it pertains to the law) of some very broad areas.The text does a good job in touching on these intersections. (e.g.. applied statistics, applied biochemistry, applied instrumental analysis, applied organic chemistry, applied physical chemistry, physics, thermodynamics, etc.) Where the text fundamentally fails is the approach to conveying that to the student.A good text should either a) convey general topics and trends to the reader so they can be familiar when they come upon them in their careers (e.g. tests for presumptive analysis commonly used for street drugs),or b) provide specific equations, details, and thorough explanations of the fundamental principles behind a test, statistical method or reaction.The later should be used only as reference.The failure of this text is that it attempts to do both, and does neither well.The general themes are bogged down in specific minutia, while the equations, tables and appendices are incomplete and neglect the units or definitions of terms that would make them useful.

End of Chapter Questions:
Furthering the frustration is the end of chapter questions.If the text is misguided, the questions are criminal. The poorly worded, poorly conceived questions attempt to test the readers critical thinking skills, but instead are exercises in patience. In an attempt to provide "real world" scenario questions, the author (and editors) failed to ensure that the questions were properly worded (e.g. "A temperature above the flash point of a fuel is a necessary condition for combustion but is it a sufficient one?" Is WHAT one? The temperature? the condition? the fuel? sufficient for what?).They also failed to check if the problems could be solved with the information provided!What is the point of a text that makes you search journal articles published AFTER the textbook to determine the enthalpy of TATP? How would one "determine" the structure to TATP without prior knowledge of what TATP is in the first place? It isn't mentioned in the text anywhere except as the question. One might argue that the author is trying to teach the student to use the internet as a resource.What then is the point of the text?

1st Edition
Historically, 1st Editions have a few errors.I'd challenge anyone to find a text costing over $150 MSRP with as many errors. The text in chapter 2 requires you look up information in Appendix 13, yet the book only contains 6 appendices.The text constantly refers to phantom tables and equations. Within the same chapter, there are Variables (V) representing different things of which neither variable is explained or labeled. Important terms are placed in bold, then never defined.Statements are made without reference that one skilled in the art knows are untrue.

Cost and Availability.
Finally, the cost of a book is too expensive for what you get.In my current Master's Program, this text is the most expensive one I've purchased, and ranks in the bottom 10% for usability and reuse.And while it is not a significant factor for most, this text is not available as a (discounted and searchable) e-book.

I can think of no reason to use this text over any other, and that is not having read any other text.

Things needed to make this text successful in the 2nd Edition.
-Add missing appendices
-Fix errors
-Clearly define variables and important terms
-Rewrite end-of-chapter questions-Make sure they can be completed from the information provided in the text.
-Either remove clutter from the book and focus on themes and general topics or expand the text to a proper reference text that can be trusted
-Lower price and provide e-book version.

PROS
-Good broad inclusion of subjects encompassed in "Forensic Chemistry"

CONS
-Neither approachable nor a sufficient reference text
-Riddled with errors, portions of text missing
-Expensive
-No E-book option

Another masterful effort
Brendan Galvin is one of our finest contemporary poets, one who deserves a lot more recognition than he's received.His poems are rock solid in their craft, quirky and thoughtful in their vision, often humorous in tone, and wonderful in their musicality.This collection is a worthy addition to his lengthening shelf of fine books, all of which are worth hunting up.

On the strength of one poem ...
I've just read one poem from this book, "Glenfillan Sheepdog Trials", which was featured on the Poetry Daily website <>. On the strength of that one poem I'd guess this to be a book to read and re-read. The poem describes a dog at work, in such terms that the assertion towards the end that "a beauty/without vanity shimmers unaware/of itself over the rough field" has been completely justified. ...
