Missed an increasing trend
921946
The book does not discuss an increasing trend.  Children as caretakers of parents in their own homes.  Failure to discuss in detail the devastation of losing elderly parents when they were part of your most immediate family for a long time is a huge minus. There are three such relationships in our extended family, an uncle and two aunts living with their children. They plan to die at home.

Lost my Mother less than two weeks ago after living with me for over ten years. This book didn't help me.  It is simplistic and  logical.  That's the problem, logic isn't appropriate when we are thinking emotionally.

Against the apparent trend I was very disappointed. Compared to the in-depth authoritative books on the subject that I read in the 1960s,
(by the likes of Gough Thomas etc) this seemed like a modern television show  ..frivolous and unsatisfying. Bite-size info for the bite-size generation. I read it in a single very short sitting, got annoyed at the references to illustrations that were grouped as a block elsewhere in the book, and ended up less satisfied than if I'd read a magazine article. I'm sure the authors are well respected but personally I'll now trawl the greater works of times further past. If you want an easy read great. Look elsewhere for depth. Sorry!

I was disappointed that I had missed so much story line since the last BIG book. I guess there has been much going on in the novellas that I hadn't read. I guess I'll have to backtrack to get the whole scoop.

I was really excited to hear this but was kind of disappointed when I did.  Not as edgy or original sounding as the earlier stuff.  Some of the tracks grow on you but I still skip through probably a third of this album. Favorites are Anonymous, Witness and It Gets Worse.

Doesnt taste too bad but I did see a rise in supply. Not as much as I wanted but it did help.

It would be nice to see some actual numbers about the amount fed and the growth as a result. Especially compared against the current standard alfalfa pellets.

There were a handful of useful nuggets in here which is why I gave it 3 stars. But if you have done any research online you have read 80+ percent of what the book has to offer.

We love the lemonade flavor, but compared to when we first ordered this a few years back
it now has almost doubled in price!!
That puts a huge damper on our excitement for this product.
Too bad.

Looks like Feline Pine has changed their product to make a larger profit. They have taken the large pellets and made them into smaller bits. Now there is more sawdust tracking outside of the cat box, and you have to change the litter box more often. This is still a good product, but the larger pellets were excellent. "New and Improved" is really, new and you're screwed. It is a shame a company can take an excellent product and make it mediocre. I would have paid a higher price for the original.

I enjoyed this in 1981. Not so much now. The cultural evolution flowered differently than a they imagined. I loved the phrase "Evolution in action." Both then and now. The engineer uses an electronic box that acts like a cell phone with only wired connectivity and no internet. He wants to find time to polish it and market it. So it goes.

I loved his premise for a new Constitutional Convention.  And I liked his first couple proposed amendments.  But as he went on, the proposals looked more and more tailored for the issues of the day as opposed to fundamental precepts.  I was hoping for more suggestions that would clarify and support original intent of the framers.  I admit that I skimmed ahead to read the basics of each proposal.  I can understand what is driving the recommendations, but some looked more appropriate to legislation... not fundamentals to be ensconced in a Constitution.  And real dollar values do not belong.  They become obsolete with time.

Really liked these tags and wanted to buy more but was quite disappointed when I saw a $4.00 per package price increase in just a couple weeks!

Not better than before, could have skipped this one.

I probably made a mistake by chosing the book because I saw Yadin and Bronzino as the editors and I did not look at the date of the edition (2003).

I was expecting to read about the last trends on Clinical Engineering in a similar way as I used to find interesting articles int eh Biomedical Engineering Handbook but I realized I was in front of a 10 years old book which still has many current subjects but that is already outdated in many others (like virtual instrumentation)...

The Clinical Engineering chapters were writen 10 years ago but refer to practices from 20 years ago so ok, anathomy hasn't changed since Testut wrote his books and the ECG principles are the same but today you need a lot more than that for a Clinical Engineering and these concepts may be left for instrumentation books or old Deming principles...

I will keep on looking for updated trends in the subject.

50% increase in price compared to the former 'metal can' packaging (as revierwer Skytrac has also noticed) -- even as raw-tea prices on the commodities market have fallen 20% in the past six months (Sept. 2012-March 2013), and US inflation is practically at an all-time low of 1.5% -- all this by way of pointing out that there is really no justification for a 50% price increase at this time.  So it suddenly costs half-again-as-much AND the loose tea is in a far less protective paper box instead of the sturdy and better-sealed metal can.  I would abandon the product immediately were it not for the fact that members of my family love this tea so much (it IS great tea).  Even as I place this order I am strategizing a day shop-hopping online and here in New York City to find a satisfactory alternative to this tea.

For several years I was a subscriber, but within the pas couple years it seems the quality has gone down. This magazine is no longer something that I enjoy reading every article of as I did in the past. I still get one or two copies a year, but its content has changed for the worse. Now it seems that its more focused on trends and trying to be hip in a metrosexual sort of way.
