High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Vacation is a 1983 comedy film directed by Harold Ramis and starring Chevy Chase, Beverly D'Angelo, Randy Quaid, Dana Barron and Anthony Michael Hall.

His performances as lovable geeks in these three films connected his name and face with the stereotype for an entire generation. Hall diversified his roles to avoid becoming typecast as his geek persona, joining the cast of Saturday Night Live (1985?1986) and starring in films such as Out Of Bounds (1986), Johnny Be Good (1988), Edward Scissorhands (1990) and Six Degrees of Separation (1993). After a series of minor roles in the 1990s, his performance as Microsoft's Bill Gates in the 1999 film Pirates of Silicon Valley put him back in the spotlight. He had the starring role in the USA Network series The Dead Zone, from 2002 to 2007. ... Read more

Product Description
"Chemistry, First Edition", by Julia Burdge has been created to bridge the gap in the McGraw-Hill general chemistry offerings. This textbook offers a clear writing style written with the students in mind. Julia uses her background of teaching hundreds of general chemistry students per year and creates content to offer more detailed explanation on areas where she knows they have problems. Sitting down with the art house, Julia Burdge worked with the artist to create the style and major art pieces in her text. Out of these discussions, came the creation of the Visualizing Art two-page spreads which detail a process for the students and provide them with the answer to What is the Point?. With outstanding art, a consistent problem-solving approach, interesting applications woven throughout the chapters, and a wide range of end-of-chapter problems, this is a solid first edition text. ...

excellent
The book is in excellent condition. The book arrived very early. We are very satisfied with the experience. Thanks a lot.

not for the average self learner
This book is fine for students who have no problem manipulating equations and
don't mind doing calculation after calculation after calculation after calculation...
Way to many calculations for the student who just wants a basic idea of what chemistry is
all about.Probably a good book for students who naturally are good at calculating, self
learning, figuring out problems with little guidance.The assessments always present
problems in a way that is different than how they were presented in the examples.
Very frustrating for this homeschool mom whose high school aged daughter is not interested in the subject. (She started off a little interested, now is just completely turned off to it.) Even her math tutor doesn't want to
tackle some of the problems. ... Read more

A joyful read-aloud
I can't give enough praise to this book.I've worn out my old copy and am now ordering a new one.The characters are fun and whimsical, kids can relate to them.The message is positive and empowering--kids come up with compromises and solutions to problems.And it has a subtle anti-sexist message without being overpowering and pedantic in its political correctness.Micheal Bird Boy and Boss Lady both seem comfortable in their own unique skin, and that's also a great message for kids.This is a fine example of a pre-k/early elem. book that shows environmental action in a positive light.A nice gift for the Micheals in your life!

A Lasting Impression
Wow!I read this book as a child and I remember learning about the story and the environmental message.I just found my childhood copy and I amthrilled to find how wonderful it is again!I am glad it is still inprint.Enjoy, teach your kids about changing things.Sadly, the blackcloud this time is caused by a much more harmful problem, fossil fules...

Wonderful childrens book
Michael Bird-Boy is a wonderful story, that takes an environmental message in to action.Michael Bird Boy is able to find solutions to problems in the story, with positive interaction between Michael and the problems. Michael is far more empowering and optimistic than the environmentalclassic The Lorax, without sugar coating the issue or leaving the reader(child and parent) without possible solutions. ...

Not quite a page turner, but factually correct throughout. Now I've finished reading it, I'm using it to prop up that wobbly filing cabinet in the corner. ... Read more
