Editorial : About the Author
Dr. Arthur Goodman (Ph.D., Yeshiva University) currently teaches in the mathematics department at Queens College of the City University of New York. Dr. Goodman takes great pride in the mathematical accuracy and in depth explanation in all of his textbooks.
Lewis Hirsch (Ph.D., Pennsylvania State University) currently teaches in the mathematics department at Rutgers University. Dr. Hirsch teaches both developmental mathematics and higher level courses such as college algebra and pre-calculus. His experiences in the classroom make him committed to properly preparing students in lower-level courses so they can succeed in for credit courses, and this is reflected in the way he writes his textbooks.
These experienced authors have been praised for their in-depth explanations and their commitment to avoiding a cookbook approach. Their text addresses three critical issues in teaching precalculus: poor student preparation, the need for thoughtful integration of the graphing calculator, and poor student study skills. Their texts have a strong reputation built on mathematically sound presentation, excellent applications, and on challenging students to develop algebraic, graphical, and verbal mathematical skills. Goodman and Hirsch help students go beyond the mechanics of mathematics to developing a coherent strategy to solving problems.
WHOEVER WORKS / WILLING TO WORK IN THIS FIELD (ENGINEER/ STUDENT/SCIENTIST) HAS TO READ THIS BOOK.. Young-Ellis sets her readers in the middle of the action and does not let up. It stands alone from her first book The Time Baroness, but is actually a series. V-40, 9. I would have rated 5 stars if there were more recipes - there were only about a dozen included, but those that were were good ones.. I was caught up with the characters, and it is a really great read when you just want to 'get away from modern life' and lose yourself in a more gentle period. It is missing some of the features that the original had which may now be considered out of date due to the new knowledge science has contributed. The author does a good job of describing these stories.

And what ever happened to the Korean War and the draft? Tony, the Italian who is dating Eilis, and his brothers would have been up to their necks in that war.
