ProductGroup: Book
Binding: Paperback
ASIN: 9686034102

Book Description

Esta es una obra orientada a iniciar cursos de estadística de administración y economía. El principal objetivo del autor es lograr un texto introductorio a la estadística que sea claro y comprensible, así como interesante e informativo, que ilustre la importancia de la estadística en la toma de decisiones.

En este libro la notación matemática se utiliza solamente cuando es necesario, cuidando por completo las demostraciones y las deducciones. De este modo, se evita que el estudiante trunque el aprendizaje sobre la materia debido a su desconocimiento de algunas operaciones matemáticas que, en ocasiones, otras obras aplican innecesariamente a la estadística.

La explicaciones tienen un tono informal e intuitivo, y a menudo se complementan con el material visual adecuado, principalmente con gráficas. Asimismo, la obra constituye una guía de estudio que facilita el aprendizaje con uno y otro medio y que es vital para el aprendizaje al ritmo de cada uno de los estudiantes.

Not for beginners.......2007-08-15

I was hoping to use this book to repair and refinish some basic bedroom furniture we inherited (East Lake), but this book, from England, is not for the beginner. The title is misleading and has no real use for someone who is just looking for a guide to repairing and restoring furniture that one typically has. This book was designed for an advanced user in really antique furniture. I was very disappointed that I bought this book. - Michael Riley

Martha Stewart's Christmas remains a classic cooking and decorating guide for the Christmas season. The book can be viewed as an elaborate timeline for preparing for December 25--indeed, Martha claims the book was written and photographed in "real time" from the day after Thanksgiving through Christmas Day. Along the way, Martha teaches you how to make plum pudding, 24 different types of cookies, and a holiday party menu featuring cassoulet for 100. For Christmas Day dinner, a towering croquembouche is perhaps the finest culinary feature of the menu, which features roast ducklings with wild rice, chestnut, and cranberry dressing. Martha also provides tips on decorating trees, making ornaments, gift-wrapping papers, and making beautiful wreaths and topiaries. There's even advice on making up gift baskets of the cookies, conserves, and puddings that you've created yourself. Martha herself admits that "it's true, we did get carried away"--she creates an elaborate gingerbread mansion--but most of the recipes and crafts are easy to follow and produce great results. Martha Stewart's Christmas is a real gift. C.B. Delaney

Book Description

The paperback edition of the best-selling book in which Martha Stewart invites readers to join in her Christmas celebrations as she decorates her home, wraps special gifts, and prepares luscious meals for her friends and family throughout the holidays. Full-color phontographs.

Architecture Of The Sublime.......2001-08-26

Houses Of Los Cabos is first and foremost a photographic examination of the architecture of magnificent dwellings in an intensely rugged and beautiful setting. But this wonderful book also provides a fascinating, well-integrated view in both image and text of the community and landscape which inspired the creation of those homes. So it is a comprehensive look at an exotic locale as much as an extraordinary study of the houses which were constructed to take maximum advantage of a remote aerie at land's end, Baja California. The book itself is uniformly of the highest caliber. Thus the printing, binding, design and presentation of the text and photography leave nothing to be desired. Each time one opens the covers and begins to turn the pages new delights await. But I would be remiss if I failed to emphasise in this review the sheer brilliance of the photographer, Rigoberto Moreno. Because it is his contribution which elevates a remarkable work to the level of the sublime. Which means that in addition to a superb volume which details the imaginative use of a supernal setting for house construction, we have as well a portfolio of photographs that are worthy of collection in their own right. Houses Of Los Cabos is a treasure that provides the reader with a feast for the eyes and the imagination. In my opinion, it is one of the finest recently published books to address cogently the development of architectural innovation at the end of the twentieth century.

Magnificent Cabo !.......2000-11-24

I live in Los Cabos for 10 years and I discover day by day the incredible architecture and richness of Baja in their houses, landscaping and magnificent views. I can reconize some friends' homes, they were developing as splendid designs with love and dedication in all their details. Please take the time to travel along this book to discover a part of Land's End and enjoy it yourself the magic of Baja.

Sparkling text, stunning photographs.......2000-04-10

HOUSES of LOS CABOS is a magnificent book for coffee table or gift-giving, presenting as it does eighteen spectacular homes on the Southern Baja California coast, in Rigoberto Moreno's truly breathtaking color photographs and with commentary by both architects and homeowners. But the large, lushly-produced book is more than that: its presentation page and wonderful Introduction are written by respected Mexican authors, and in its Prologue Mauricio Martínez, whose Amaroma Editions has published many of Mexico's most important art and photography books , gives the reader a glimpse of the passion his team shared over the course of the project.

Poet Raúl Aceves alludes first to the contrast between the desert, high cliffs and dazzling beaches of Los Cabos, and to its magic: "Some men become eagles/as some eagles become men./Others become salt in the sea/and carry legend away on the tides."

Then, in a surprisingly sparkling introductory text, Francisco Javier Ibarra documents the region's centuries of magic in a chronicle that extends from prehistory to current political events, from legend to little-known but memorable facts, from descriptions of Los Cabos as a distinctive ecosystem to Los Cabos as the setting for lively ancient and modern memoirs. By the time the English-speaking reader has perused the opening sections, (s)he realizes that this fine art book is also a glimpse into Mexico's Pacific coastal culture, that its writers are most generous in sharing their intimate view of what is sometimes considered Mexico's "Land's End"; (s)he will also be struck by the unusually careful translation, which allows full access to words as well as images, and hope that other international publishers follow Martinez' lead in this realm.

Opening HOUSES OF LOS CABOS, the first of Moreno's photographs one sees are brilliant angles of the massive cliffs and sea. This will be a book to engage one longer than most architectural/photographic tomes, as the eye cannot possibly take in even the natural details alone, in one sitting. The book's countless varied images also delight in their artful balance -- they are arranged in fine rhythm between interiors and exteriors, paeans to the landscape, to domestic architecture within the landscape, and to the inner life of luxe homes. The construction of architectural planes is celebrated throughout in gorgeous color, and described with substance and precision, to please the armchair traveler as well as the professional architect: architectural touches range from whimsical to majestic, allowing readers to avidly glean design ideas or to imagine themselves as honored houseguests.

Customer Reviews:

I laughed 'til I cried!.......2000-05-30

Sleeping throught the Night is a very funny look at Parenting. I was reading through tears of laughter for the majority of the book! For anyone who is a parent, but especially for new parents who are going through the experience at the same time, this book is a must-have!

You CAN only laugh!.......1999-12-02

I came upon this book quite by accident. I've not laughed quite as helplessly for a long time. I really got an ache in my side! Her style is simply delicious and the feelings picturised are so familiar that even as you laugh you get that gentle, comforting feeling of having someone understand just what it was like......

Great bedside reading.......1999-05-19

Sandi Kahn Shelton is just the sort of person I want to hear from at the end of a long day. Her stories about family mishaps made me laugh out loud--and helped me see the humor in my own life, too.

Anthologies of jazz writing tend to be mixed bags, combining reviews, profiles, and usually a couple of short stories in which the protagonist happens to play the tenor saxophone. This collection from former New Yorker editor Robert Gottlieb is indeed such a miscellany, but it has been assembled with rare taste and discrimination. The emphasis on autobiographical writing is particularly welcome, reminding us that, in prose as in jazz, voice is the ultimate artistic thumbprint.

Book Description

Displaying keen intellectual discernment and great passion, Robert Gottlieb, former president of Alfred A. Knopf, Inc., and former editor of The New Yorker, brings together more than 150 excerpts from books, journals, magazines, and newspapers, creating a monumental anthology of essays about jazz--the life and the music--and rescuing many an important but neglected writer from oblivion.

Customer Reviews:

A Note on the Editor.......2001-03-23

Robert Gottlieb is indeed up to the job of editing this anthology. The information about him provided on the book is incomplete--necessarily incomplete, because Gottlieb has one of the longest and most distinguished editing careers in American letters. He was head of a publishing house and editor-in-chief of "The New Yorker." He is responsible for some of the best writing of the last quarter century.

Chock full o' stories!.......2000-11-16

This book collects a vast range of articles, reviews and biographies covering jazz's most influential musicians. It's a wonderful compendium. I discovered great music from many artists I'd never heard of before. Well worth reading!

Customer Reviews:

Holocaust? or Love Story.......2001-04-03

I thought the book was too complex and I thought it was a nice love story but they made the Holocaust seem like a cakewalk which it wasn't

Patience in a noble virtue, that pays off in the end..........2001-01-16

I would recommend this book to a patient reader. It begins slowly at first, and the reader has to motivate him or herself to keep reading but by the middle of the book it's a total page-turner. I think the thing I like most about this novel was that love prevailed. Walter and Hanna both went through their terrible times, but in the end, it was like all that disappeared and there they were again, her standing up on the stairs, him in the entry hall, just like they had been 7 years earlier. I think after you finish the book you sit back and think, "Dang! This can't be real!" But it is, and that's what I think is magical about it. It's a true tale of love persevering.

I was amazed at how hard it was to put this book down!.......2000-05-04

I cannot express how much I liked this book! This couple wrote in thier own words the experiences they encountered during WWII. Hanna and Walter are two young lovers near the Austro-Hungary border in a amall Jewish Community. When WWII broke out, they were torn in seprate directions. You cannot get a more personal view of what was going on at the time (unless you were there). This story was from real people, in real situations, with a real and romantic ending. I recomend this book to anyone who is interested in not only WWII history, but anyone who beleves in hope.
