PROBLEM: No Temperance Here . Ms. Reichs has lost the recipe, or at least the focus and formula that has brought her success prior to Cross Bones. Although not nearly as bad as P. Cornwell's last two or three misfires, Reichs is way wide of her usual high mark here. In this offering, Temperance is out of character, out of both style and focus, and the story is just overly convoluted and circuitous; a yarn that meanders around heading every which way except toward a finished product. Even the writing is unfamiliar and not of the same voice Reichs has maintained in her many Brennan novels. Having finally given up on Cornwell, after many years, I'll hang in there for one more Temperance Brennan dig; everyone is entitled to one gong

SOLUTION: NEG

PROBLEM: English Education majors and secondary English Teachers: check this out! . This text helped me to articulate the 'principles' of Standard English by examining our language in all its varieties scientifically and intuitively.    Such articulation necessates a thorough understanding of the notions of descriptive vs. prescriptive, standard vs. nonstandard, formal vs. informal, grammatical vs. ungrammatical, and constitutive vs. regulative.    This introductory text is written for the mature student who has  had little or no background in linguistics or traditional school grammar. Consequently, the authors begin by demonstrating how traditional grammar instruction with its eight parts of speech and semantic definitions falls terribly short of accounting for the many rule exceptions and illogicalities of langauge.     I highly recommend this text for English Education majors and secondary school English teachers.

SOLUTION: POS

PROBLEM: Two surprises I didn't like . The text of this book was generally good - although it seemed padded out with a massive listing of model metadata.  The book comes with a CD.  The first surprise was, the CD does not include the Data Definition Language (DDL) for its sample models... there's an extra cost for that.  My question to the publisher would be, what good is the CD you provide for free?  The second surprise is the illustrations.  There are plenty of them, but they look like they were done in a primitive graphics package - not in an enterprise modeling tool.  They author seems to have invented his own wierd set of conventions, including "foreign keys do not appear in the entities... that is duplicate information".  Before you buy this book, take a look at the illustrations of the models.  If you can live with the notation, maybe consider buying it
