Product review: I've used this book with several children and pre-teens. It is filled with captivating illustrations and worksheets to use with the child or within a group setting. The book is broken down into numerous sections covering:IdentityStereotypingThe impact of IntegrationCultural BoundariesAfrican-American Male-Female RelationshipsRacism and Its ImpactWhat is Chemical Dependence?How Does Someone Become Chemically Dependent?How Chemical Dependence Affects Friends, Family, and YouHow Chemical Dependence Affects the African-American CommunityCommunicatingDealing With FeelingsDealing With Peer PressureMaking Decisions/Solving Problems/Resolving ConflictsKids can relate to the no-nonsense writing style, and the topics and worksheets are great for generating constructive conversation. This is possibly the most productive workbook I've found to use with pre-teens, and it's wonderful to find one dealing specifically with African-American children. Bravo!

Review title: Trash Product review: If you want to have a solid understanding of numerical computation, this book is definitely the last choice. Many theorems are given without any proof or even intuitions behind them in this book. Even when a proof is provided, it's often far from rigorous. The organization of chapters is the worst I have ever seen, revelant materials are scattered over several different locations rather than put together. Take the SVD for example, it is mentioned in the end of chapter 3, but reappears in chapter 4, which is very confusing. If you are new to this area, please don't read this book. It gives you many many facts without explanations, which I think is not a good way to learn new things. David S. Watkins' Fundamentals of Matrix Computations is a lot better and easier to understand. It also emcompasses many detailed treatments of various theorems. If you have bought Heath's book, don't be sad, at least it can serve as a coaster.
