ERT Books

This is a wonderful book which displays the basics of algebra II. THere is a lot of examples, diagrams and explanations in the book which make it quite usefull. Highly reccomended.

I remember having this book for my honors Algebra II class in high school. The book is not close to any other algebra/pre-calculus books I have seen--it covers Algebra 2 stuff + even some matrix theory stuff that I could even find in my Linear Algebra book. The trigonometry part, though, doesn't really help. Overall, the book is one of the best i have seen, and I would certainly recommend it.

This is a course that includes five modules. These modules purpose is to provide a general introduction to the basic concepts for first-responder awareness at the scene of a potential terrorist incident. The five Modules consist of Terrorism and Perspective, Incidents and Indicators, Self-Protection, Scene Control, Notification and Control. There is also a glossary and three appendixes. Appendix A is Terrorism Annex to the Federal Response Plan, Appendix B is the Presidential Decision Directive 39 (Unclassified), and Appendix C that has a Related Course List.

I would recommend this course for all fire personnel; emergency medical service responders; and hazardous materials responders. It would also benefit law-enforcement personnel; emergency communications personnel; jurisdictional emergency coordinators; emergency management personnel; public works management; public health workers; Armed Forces, Reserves, National Guard; and disaster response agencies.

Matt Feazell's stick figures may seem simple, but they express so many emotions and ideas..! This book collects strips from the early 90's -- and they tackle everything from _The Hobbit_ to the Exxon Valdez.

The characters rock. Cynicalman saves the environment, hangs out with Gandalf and teams up with Psycho Woman ("Don't touch me.") Antisocialman (the most obnoxious man alive) lives up (or maybe that should be "down") to his name. A massive cat terrorizes Cute Girl.

The topics range from silly to serious, but the strips always entertain. Anyone who loves comics, stick figures, or cool humor would love ERT!

Its a good Book, and very much to the point and accurate. Good Luck.

I am a client who was helped tremendously by Ann's advice. Her natural solution helped me feel good again after a hysterectomy and problem after problem with synthetic hormones. Those who have been through this know what I mean. Thank goodness I found her!

I really liked how the story was so touching. Eve Bunting really expressed how William felt and how much he loved Riley. You can tell because William tried so hard and he was so determined to try to save Riley. His determination made me really enjoy the story. I thought that Eve Bunting wrote an amazing story with a surprising ending.

The Review of the Summer of Riley by Eve Bunting

Do you love story's that talk about a child that a dog is one of his best friends? Well if you do this book is right for you. Riley is the dog and Will is the boy and in this book they have a very strong bond that turns to the worse. Where did Riley go? Will we find him?
The characters in this book would be Will, Grace, Ellis, The Sultan, and Riley. Will is the main character and is a very out going kind of guy. Grace is Will's best friend and is always there when will needs her. Ellis is a bully to Will and try's to make Will's life even worse than it was before. Sultan is the famous, But retired, race horse and with the Sultan Riley try's to chase the Sultan and Mrs. Peachie Thinks its all Will's fault because Will didn't keep track of Riley and that the fact that riley wasn't on a leash. Also we can't forget Riley, He's Will's dog and at some point of time Riley seems as if he were a human friend.
This book has 3 main themes to it, friendship, hate, and confusion to it. When Will hears his mom and dad fighting down stares he doesn't know what to do. Should he go back to bead and forget about it or should he go down stairs to see what's going on. Also when Will finds Riley after his grandpa's death Will feels that there is some kind of hope that may have been in the corner all that time. Also every time Will runs into Ellis no matter when he is once again Ellis try's to do something that Will hates but Ellis doesn't care.
The setting in this book includes Will's room, outside, and the dog shelter.
The dog shelter plays some what of a big role because that is where found Riley and sad his hair looks as if he were a lion. When Will is in his room he try's to think of the things he did wrong and what he could of done to fix is mistakes. He also thinks of his friends and family like Grace and his grandpa .When Will is outside he's mostly playing with Riley, and Grace. The three buds.
When you read this book you will know exactly how the charter feels and what their personality's are like with all the charters. So if you like a good book that you know where in the book the charter is and how he or she feels like this is the right book to read. Also while your reading this book you can tell the themes is this book because they talk about it a lot and show it really well. I would truly recommend this book to someone who likes to read a book that keeps you on your toes but yet isn't a mystery book. So remember when you're looking for a good book that you can read chose, The Summer of Riley by Eve Bunting.

I bought this CD-ROM as it was meant to play on a Mac computer, however, it only works with Operating Systems 7.1 to 8.1 so if you have a newer Mac it will not play on your system.

The questions are obsolete and dated. The product format does not reflect the current exam format at all and for the number of questions I think it is over priced. There is far better software CD's available out there to help train people who are taking CBT - USMLE exams.

This CD ROM was helpful in that you could start practicing for the new computer based testing. They do have explanations for why the answer is right, but do not explain why the wrong answer is wrong. Otherwise, questions were good, picture questions were also just as good. I have tried other step 2 software, and this is definitely the better of them. It's worth it to get practice.

This CD-ROM does not accurately reflect the USMLE format, but it still gives you a good simulation of taking a test on a computer. You get feedback on how well you did on each subject (i.e. Surgery, OB/Gyn etc) for each practice test, which will help you to know your weak points. It also has a review section that you can work on while you are studying the subject. The best thing about this CD-ROM is that it makes you feel like you are playing with a quiz-type computer game, and actually enjoy the test preparation.
