Title: A good look at the Y2K problems and how to deal with them. Review: I make my living as a computer consultant and have worked with computers for the last 20 years. I find that most people do not understand what all the Y2K fuss is about. This book is written from a viewpoint that only someone with experience in the computer field would have. It was not written by a writer looking to make a quick buck on the Y2K paranoia. The book gives the worst case, best case and in between possibilities and the reasons they may or may not come to be. This allows the readers to decide for themselves how extensively they want to prepare for Y2K. Information in this book is presented from the Christian viewpoint, but is of the value to all people interested in preparing properly for Y2K. I highly suggest you buy a copy and decide for yourself what level of preparedness you want to be at when you know the facts. Is the review positive or negative?

Title: Scientific American Books: a five book set from 1957 Review: Review of Scientific American Books: Plant Life, The Planet Earth, New Chemistry, The Universe, Lives in Science (5 book set).REVIEWER: Dr W. P. PalmerEach of the books in the five book set is reviewed under its own individual title. All the books were published in 1957 from articles found in the Scientific American, so together they provide the historian of science with an overview of what interested scientists in the middle of last century. The general editors of all the books were Gerard Piel and Dennis Flanagan with a team of Scientific American colleagues: in general the books lack illustration and are about 200 pages in length.The separate reviews of each of the five books contain the detailed contents including the names of the authors. Many of these authors are extremely well known scientists. These books are available at a low price and provide good value for money.BILL PALMER Is the review positive or negative?

Title: They get an extra star for effort. Review: I guess it isn't really fair of me to slag this group off completely, as I have never listened to one of their albums in its entirety (I can barely bring myself to sit through half a song, let alone half an hour). So they get two stars instead of one.I just don't like anything about this band. The music itself is monotonous, and the frontman's voice irritates me. As for the hard-hitting political lyrics, I could probably write better:"The government is bad.""They lie.""Arrrgh."Pass this up if you have any respect for your eardrums.

Show your work and conclude with the exact phrasing "Therefore, the final answer is [answer]." where [answer] is just the final number or expression that solves the problem.
