Stanley Reviews

This book is beautiful, with visual aids, illustrations, pictures, and tables, some of which are in color. The layout is clear and welcoming. The text is clearly written and informative and covers the history of Western music from Gregorian Chant through the 20th century.

I FIND THIS BOOK VERY HELPFUL AND INFORMATIVE, I BELIEVE THIS COULD BE THE ROOT OF MY PROBLEMS. THE ONE THING I WISH THE BOOK HAD THOUGH WAS A PUBLISHED LIST OF PEOPLE TO CONTACT IN OUR AREAS TO GET HELP WITH THIS, HOW DO WE CONTACT SOMEONE WHO SPECIALIZES IN CANDIDA AND CAN HELP WITH THE SYMPTOMS??

I actually have a screw in each hip, because of hip dysplasia. The first screw was put in in January and the second in February. I have found this book very helpful for the use of writing a paper on Orthepedic Hip Dysplaisia.

This book tells everything about the surgical management of the diseases of the entire aort.For the one who is interested in aortic diseases and their surgical repairs, have to get this book of the two living legends:Svensson & Crawford

I think that this book was really good. Earl Stanley Gardner is a great author. There were so many twists in the story you'd never know what would happen next.

Mason's client told the truth... but the police didn't believe her. They decided she was guilty of both blackmail and murder. But Mason came up with an idea...

The idea was NO defense. He then proceeded to argue his case in a manner which took Hamilton Burger so frustrated he committed misconduct. But Mason wasn't about to let the district attorney a chance to get off the hook when his client was about to be aquitted of the charge against her...

The buried clock was 25 minutes slow... or was it 35 minutes fast? Mason's explanation of the time difference was that it was keeping sidereal, or star time, which gains 4 minutes a day. He played it up big in the newspapers
to create a juristication battle between two counties, but the clock disappeared, the juristication was settled, and Mason's client went on trial for the murder of her embezzling husband.

The circumstantial evidence was tight, and Mason's only hope was to try and introduce the clock, once again found buried and set on sidereal time. However, there was no legal doctrine he could find to introduce it into evidence... until Mason realized he'd walked into his own baited trap.

Selma Anson found herself a widow after her husband died from supposed food-poisoning at a BBQ thrown by the Arlington family. She invested the insurance money wisely, and amassed a small fortunte from it. She and Delane Arlington also found themselves romantically attached in the wake of the trajedy.

A year later, Selma finds herself followed by an individual, and threatens to slap his face if he keeps at it. She's warned about the legal ramifications of such an act, and consults Perry Mason.

Selma ends up being the target of an insurance company investigation, who claims she murdered her husband, and all the money she made was as an involuntary trustee of the funds, and the victim of the district attorney, who after exhuming the body of her deceased husband, finds the death was due to arsenic. To make matters even worse, Delane Arlington finds a key piece of evidence that would serve to prove her guilt.

It looks bad for her, but she has Perry Mason as her lawyer. His own analysis of the evidence, coupled with his belief in the ability of Lt. Tragg of the police department, allows him to exonerate his cliend... despite claims of wrongdoing by Hamilton Burger.

Nadine Farr was a troubled young woman. Under the treatment of Dr. Denair, she revealed under drugs that she had killed her uncle with cyanide, then tossed the bottle into a lake, weighed down with shotgun shot. Unfortunately for her and her doctor, there was a tape recording of the drug-induced interview... and the nurse's boy-friend was a police detective.

Dr. Denair laid out his problem to Perry Mason, who put together a plan to carefully investigate the matter. In the end, he recovered the bottle from the lake... and it only contained a harmless sugar substitute.

However, the nurse blabbed to her boy-friend, and the police became interested. Then the D.A. found a SECOND bottle in the lake, filled with cyanide. Mason found himself stuck with a client who had confessed under drugs to a crime... and found himself accused of tossing one of the bottles into the lake.

It all comes down to a legal showdown as to whether the drug-induced confession, combined with the recovered bottle, can be admitted as evidence. Surprisingly, Mason reverses position and agrees to allow it all in evidence, despite the strong legal arguments which could prohibit it. It's the trap he puts Hamilton Burger in, and clears both himself and his client in the clear.

Why write a long review? Gardner's best mysteries always involve a time element, where Mason gets it right and the DA doesn't. When ESG got busy he dictated, and the time element is absent, the story less interesting
