Great source if information for Oscar lovers
The book covers in detail all aspects of biology and care of these beautiful fish.
It may be of a great help both for beginers and also for experienced aquarist.
Pictures are of great quality and the information provided are simple and accurate.

Basic......very basic.
This book has many quality pictures but the info would only be helpful to a new aquarist interested in owning an oscar or two.I've counted at least two typos as well.This hints at a hasty release of this book possibly to turn a quick profit.There is not much attention payed to diseases and disorders of oscars.So in fewer words.....this book is meh.

Aquarium Care of Oscars

Product Description
One of the most feared crimes among urban dwellers, armed robbery poses a serious risk of injury or death, and presents daunting challenges for law enforcement. Yet little is known about the complex factors that motivate assailants who use a weapon to take property by force or threat of force.

Armed Robbers in Action is not like previous studies that focus on the often distorted accounts of incarcerated offenders. Richard T. Wright and Scott H. Decker conducted dangerous, life-threatening field research on the streets of St. Louis to obtain more forthright responses from robbers about their motives and methods. They also visited several crime scenes to examine how situational and spatial features of the setting contributed to the offense. Quoting extensively from their conversations with the offenders, the authors consider the circumstances underlying the decision to commit an armed robbery, explore how and why targets are chosen, and detail the various tactics used in a hold-up.

By analyzing the criminals' candid perspectives on their actions and their social environment, the authors provide a fuller understanding of armed robbery. They conclude with an insightful discussion of the implications of their findings for crime prevention policy. ... Read more

You Can Not Make This Stuff Up
This is an excellent piece of qualitative research and I use it as an example in my research class.As other writers have noted this book is entertaining and fun.Also, it demonstrates how a researcher uses snowball sampling to find individuals who may otherwise be reluctant to admit to others that they are engaging in some kind of behavior which society considers immoral or which is outright illegal. Research does not have to be dull and good qualitative research reads as well as the best fiction.

Brilliant.
All I can say is... wow.I consider myself incredibly fortunate to currently be a student of Richard Wright's, studying Criminology and Criminal Justice at the University of Missouri - St. Louis.While this ethnography is extremely insightful and intriguing, it doesn't even begin to capture the sheer brilliance that IS Richard Wright.He is truly a one of a kind researcher, and many of his ideas have been groundbreaking in the field of Criminology -- especially since the studies for this book were done in the '80s, a much more conservative period as far as criminological research is concerned.This book would be interesting and even entertaining for anyone, but especially for those with a background in Criminology or Sociology.I would also recommend Richard Wright's other piece about this research project, BURGLARS ON THE JOB.

All that and a bag of chips
This is first rate ethnography that is well-written, insightful, and entertaining. Yes, I said entertaining, as in a good read. Fascinating book that will really make you think about what lies behind criminaldecision-making . . . highly recommend it.

A reader from Palo Alto, CA
Sounds good. A bit too verbose. The book's name is better than the conclusion. Nothing you would not expect if you watched enough violence movies.

Laughed my ass off and then thought about it.
I spent three years being bored to points beyond death in law school, but this book was something all together different.The fact that it was written at all is impressive.You read about the inner city in the papers,but this book takes you there, and not just into the slum, but into theheads of the dregs of society.The logic expressed by the subjects of thisbook is so radically foreign to those of us in textbookAmerica.Take achance and look into the underclass.Oops, I used the class-word.I knowwe don't have those in this country, but this book may make you think.Ionly wish Pat Buchanan could meet some of these guys. ...
