Excellent
Regardless, if you are a student or an EE this book is excellent.
As a student if gives full, step-by-step, worked out examples.
As an EE it is very easy to look up the math one forgets over time.

Highly recommended.

Product Description
Natural gas is rapidly emerging as a premier fuel for the world economy with markedly increasing trans-national trade. With proven reserves far exceeding those for crude oil, natural gas is likely to be around for centuries. This is a book about enhancing natural gas production using one of the most important and widespread well completion technologies hydraulic fracturing. The book addresses the way that natural gas is produced from reservoirs and then describes diagnostic techniques that can pinpoint whether the well is producing as it should or whether intervention should be undertaken, which is the central theme of this book.Hydraulic fracturing is introduced as the solution of choice, showing the idiosyncratic nature of natural gas wells compared to oil wells. Subsequent chapters address important peripheral issues whose successful or failed resolution may affect the well performance with equal or even more serious consequences than the fracture treatment itself. These issues include well completions and the extremely important well-to-reservoir (and fracture) connectivity.Moving onwards, two chapters address the materials for fracturing: fluids and proppants. Their appropriate selection is essential to the successful execution of any treatment. The execution itself is the subject of the following chapter, and practical issues are addressed therein. Then some modern applications are described. One chapter deals with fracturing horizontal wells, increasingly an important option among reservoir exploitation strategies. Not only new well architecture but also newer reservoir targets are opening up, and natural gas demand points towards unconventional sources, namely coalbed methane (CBM), shale gas and very low-permeability formations. Technology makes their exploitation possible, and this is the subject another chapter.Finally, two issues round out the book: How fracturing is employed in the full development of reservoirs; and how mature fields, a mainstay of the developed world such as the United States and Europe, can be revitalized through this process. ...

A good start ....
This is an easy-read, bare-bones basic medical microbiology suitable for a quick refresher. Medical students and residents may require a greater in-depth treatment than this book offers. I found "Mechanisms of Microbial Disease" by Schaechter et al to be the perfect complement to this basic text. ... Read more

Avid reader
I liked the book, but the cd was even better. Beautiful words and music performed by a talented artist. I bought one for each of my adult children and one to keep for me.

What a Heartwarming, Uniquely-Styled Book
After hearing Sarah sing at the 2007 White House Tree-Lighting ceremony, I went home and ordered every one of Sara's CDs, then burned all my favorites to a "Favorites" CD for the house and car. I can't get enough of her incredible voice. I ordered this book out of curiosity, and have been pleasantly pleased by the genuine QUALITY of the book itself. Very unique raised-letter writing on the front cover, and so well-done! A wonderful gift for a child, a parent, or a loved one - really offers you perspective on life and life's disappointments. I'm so glad I bought it to add to my Sara Evans collection. By the way - you did a great job on "The View" Sara!! You'll love this adorable little book - I promise!!! We love you Sara... you're a winner all the way around!!

A beautiful book.... About Family & Love.
This book is really sweet - It has cute pictures of Sara & her children in the front as well as a little note from her. It has the words to the song and little quotes with beautiful pictures, as well as a cd with the song on it. It's a great gift for a parent or a child - It's also a lovely reminder of our family's love for us as well as God's love.
A must-have for any Sara fan. :)

SARA FAN MUST HAVE!
I AM A HUGE SARA EVANS FAN AND OF COURSE THIS BOOK IS AS DELIGHTFUL AND CHARMING AS SARA HERSELF.I HAVE SEEN SARA IN CONCERT 5 TIMES THIS YEAR AND EVERYTIME SHE SANG "YOU'LL ALWAYS BE MY BABY", SARA'S EMOTIONS TRANSFER TO HER AUDIENCE.YOU CAN TELL THE WORDS IN THIS SONG AND NOW IN PRINT IN THIS KEEPSAKE, COME FROM SARA'S HEART.

THERE ARE ALSO SEVERAL PERSONAL PHOTOS OF SARA AND HER CHILDREN ALONG WITH A PERSONAL MESSAGE AT THE BEGINNING.

I WAS DELIGHTFULLY SURPRISED AT THE SIZE OF THIS BOOK, TOO.IT IS SMALL AND THAT TOO ADDS TO IT'S UNIQUENESS.

THANKS SARA.WHEN I READ THIS BOOK, I AM REMINDED OF THE EMOTIONAL MILESTONES THAT WE ALL GO THROUGH; WHEN WE LET DOWN OUR FATHER, WHEN WE LET DOWN OUR GOD AND THE HOPE THAT WE NEVER LET DOWN OUR CHILDREN.

HEY, THERE IS A SURPISE TOO!CHECK OUT THE ORIGINAL RECORDING ON CD THAT IS AT THE BACK OF THIS BOOK.

It is a very good book to start organizing your personal savings and to know Canadian investing options, taxes and some proceedings. However the book is often repetitive and has some minor mistakes.
