Title: Hmmmm. Review: I think it's wonderful that Ms. Langston has begun to evaluate some of the causes of deforestation in the western U.S. The forest service has certainly been careless and haphazard in its management of our forests. Insect infestation and diseases have undoubtedly ravaged our forests. Conspicuously undercovered in Ms. Langston's book, though, is the damage caused by unselective logging. Any honest (and I'm not trying to suggest that Ms. Langston is deliberately dishonest) tree biologist will tell you that logging, more than any other manmade activity, has had the severest impact on our wilderness.

Title: long on anecdotes, short on practicalities Review: This was my first and last experience with Bradt guides -- in the future I'll stick with Lonely Planet. It seemed to be written more for people who like to read about travel and fantasize that they will trek in the Madagascar wilderness than for those who actually find themselves trying to find lodgings after a late night taxi-brousse stop. Far too many personal anecdotes and far too little practical info (and what there was is not always accurate -- FYI, the lemur sanctuary is much farther from Andasibe than the map would lead you to believe).

Title: It works. Review: It works. Was easy to replace the heads and cuts nice. No problem. It was cheaper than a new Norelco and I've never had problems with it before. Is the review positive or negative?

Title: Grammar for ESL students Review: I've been pleased to use this book while tutoring a student in English as a Second Language. Even though he reads phonetically, grammar basics are weak. This is an easy to use and useful resource for him. Is the review positive or negative?
