Book Description

Bringing canine massage therapy and doggy day care to a whole new level, this light-hearted tribute to canine culture provides a glimpse into the inner thoughts of beloved pets through hilarious photographs and magazine-style feature stories about issues important to sophisticated dogs. Articles such as "The Seven Habits of Highly Effective Beggars" and "Why Table Legs Turn Us On" are written from the point of view of dogs for dogs. Hilarious advertisements for a Bark-a-Lounger and the Yap accompany discussions of the best ways to train a human. The witty commentaries on dog personality—as well as human vanity—offer a humorous insight into canine companions.

Woof!!!.......2003-12-12

This book is unusual in its content and presentation. Nevertheless, it's wonderfully funny. The photos and "articles" are top notch, and the paper stock and binding are first class. I've ordered several, one for myself and others for dog-loving friends. The feedback I've received is ususally howls of laughter. But don't just take my word for it, read on...

My master's friend doesn't have a dog, but boy, am I glad he thinks about me. I'm not sure what difference there is between a book and a magazine, but I definitely know they aren't newspapers! I've had a lot of training with newspapers...

Dogs' Life tells things from a dog's viewpoint, and does it well. My master is sore from all the laughter he's suffered since he started reading my copy. He sees similarities between the ads in Dogs' Life and those he's familiar with in other magazines he usually reads. Also, I think he has a new perspective as a result of the informative articles and letters-to-the-editor found here. I know I'm getting more belly rubs and more delicious treats and table scraps...

He says other friends tell him their dogs could have written the article "7 Habits of Highly Effective Beggars" (I'm not so sure). My favorite, though, is "Leashless in Seattle". But then, my grandfather was a coyote...

On a more serious note, Boo, the Alpha Editor (a black Lab), has meaningful things to say to us all regarding responsibilities, not only of dogs, but of their owners as well.

This is well worth reading. I give it five paws.

Book Description

The potential of new information and communications technologies is acknowledged by all today. This book examines the importance of participatory video as a catalyst for development. It shows how powerful video images have been used to promote changes in attitudes and social behaviour, helping communities identify development solutions that are within their reach. Video has been used to reach policymakers, to empower women and to rescue the culture and heritage of indigenous people. As a mediation tool, the power of video has been used to resolve conflicts, achieve consensus and find common ground for collective action.

This book brings together practical information on innovative experiences with the use of participatory video. It contains a thoughtful analysis of some essential issues to be taken into account in planning and implementing video processes.

One of the best books for .NET and C#.......2007-03-30

Core C# and .NET, read cover to cover would almost cover the entire 70-536 exam (.NET 2.0 Frameworks Application Development Foundation). Take the title of this book to heart - it is C# AND .NET. This book is without any doubt my most valued C# or .NET book to date.

I think a better title would be "Lean the.NET Framework inside and out! ...with plenty of code examples provided in C#"

Quick Note: I was using the Microsoft Training Kit For Exam 70-536( .NET 2.0 Frameworks Application Development Foundation). I read it cover to cover. While it is essential reading if you are going to take the exam, the Training Kit is full of gaps and errors. In some cases, incorrect information that needs to be unlearned (this has become a known fact about the book in the blogosphere and forums)

...I went to a local book seller and read C# books for hours with a goal of finding the right one to fill on those gaps. "Core C# and .NET" managed to clarify "chapters" of confusion from the Training Kit in 15 minutes of reading - I slammed the book shut and got up and paid for it. Slammed it shut because I was aggravated with Microsoft - Stuff I was struggling to understand was so clear to me because of this book. Good writing, knowledge, and frankly, a good teaching style.

I have since come to love this book and I have had it for only a week.

If you want to "Learn the.NET Framework inside and out!" this is the book!

Pretty good read.......2006-03-11

I bought this book actually as a supplement and direct comparison to Andrew Troelsen's "Pro C# 2005 and the .NET 2.0 Platform". I think "Core C#" spends a little more time on more basic concepts, resulting in an even briefer treatment of some more advanced topics than Troelsen's book gives.

However, the book is still pretty good, for the sections of it that I've read. (I can only read so many C# language primers!) And I will say that there is a topic or two in here -- such as printer output with GDI+, that Troelsen makes no mention of at all.

My conclusion? Get both books! I have both and plan on hanging on to them for a long time to come.

Comprehansive BUT BOOORING.......2006-02-23

It's a good book, but you know it is one of those books where you have to be either forced to read it or VEEERY interested in reading it, I'm faling asleep every 2-3 pages. I wish he would borrow his stile from Robert Vieira or someone with at least remote sence of humor ... but as far as technicality goes it is OK.

Impressive, impressive.......2006-01-29

It's impressive how a programmer with over 25 years of experience makes so many technical mistakes. He still assumes that you can't overload operators with Visual Basic. You can, believe me.

He tells people that the compilers ship with the SDK. No, they don't. They do ship with the runtime. And the Command Prompt installs with the IDE? Holy Chicken! Actually, it installs with the SDK. The only exception here is C++ Express, which still comes with the command prompt.

Then he proudly tells you how to compile a program named winform.cs with the command line compiler, like so:

csc /t:winform.exe /r:System.Windows.Forms.dll winform.cs

Try that. It won't compile. It should be:

csc /t:winexe winform.cs

Nothing more and nothing less. Why should you reference the System.Windows.Forms.dll and leave out the other two required namespaces? Well, if an author can't get such simple things right, then I think he has no business in writing books for experienced programmers.

Those who are experienced won't need guidance on how to write a simple form and such ridiculous stuff. Unfortunately, the lowest possible rating here is one star, so that's why he got one star and not less. Especially the first part contains more grammatical errors than other editors would let slip through for an entire book of this size.

Personally, this is the first and the last book from Perry that I have bought. And yes, it's also the last one from Prentice Hall Professional Technical Reference I bought. Perhaps they should hire some editors who actually know their job. This one's the most disappointing book on programming I have ever bought. It might be useful for programmers at an elementary level, but it's a far cry from advanced level.

good for beginners.......2006-01-11

I am a begginer of C#, while have C/C++ experience
for several years.
After reading this book, I feel this book is good
for experienced other language programmers.

Topics are surely many but getting informations from
this book, you will be able to get some clues for
searching more deep issues in MSDN Library.

But one thing I was dissapointed is missing 'using'
statement for the scope management and Transaction
classes introduced in .NET 2.0.

Book Description

The seventeenth century was called the Dutch "Golden Age." Over the course of eighty years, the tiny United Provinces of the Netherlands overthrew Spanish rule and became Europe's dominant power. Eventually, though, Dutch hegemony would collapse as quickly as it had risen. In The Familial State, Julia Adams explores the role that Holland's great families played in this dramatic history. She charts how family patriarchs—who were at the time both state-builders and merchant capitalists—shaped the first great wave of European colonialism, which in turn influenced European political development in innovative ways.

On the basis of massive archival work, Adams arrives at a profoundly gendered reading of the family/power structure of the Dutch elite and their companies, in particular the VOC or Dutch East India Company. In the United Provinces, she finds the first example of the power structure that would dominate the transitional states of early modern Europe—the "familial state." This organizational structure is typified, in her view, by "paternal political rule and multiple arrangements among the family heads."

Book Description

This lavish presentation details the history and decline of the tallgrass prairie and parkland of the Red River Valley. With sound science and stories by the people of the region, the book documents the natural legacy of grass. Optimistic, yet with a tone of urgency, the authors explain why the tallgrass prairies have all but disappeared and what is and can be done to save them and the birds and mammals and plants that depend on that unique habitat. This book won the Minnesota Book Award in 1998.

All you ever wanted to know and more about tallgrass prairie.......1999-05-17

This book, which won the 1999 Minnesota Book Award in the "nature" category, is a literate and thoroughly readable description of the history and current state of tallgrass prairie in Minnesota and North Dakota. In addition to talking about the prairie as it was, and identifying the places where pieces remain, the book talks with and about preserationist farmers and landowners. I was fascinated and rewarded when I read the book.

Book Description

This essential and authoritative handbook has been updated. Five years after the first edition, new groups of refugee children are in schools -- Albanians, Eastern European Roma, and people fleeing the former Soviet Union, Iraq, and Iraqi Kurdistan. The book provides new information on these groups, also on Algerians, Colombians, Ecuadorians, Bolivians, Kenyans, and Nigerians. Educational provision for students from refugee communities has also progressed, and the new approaches that have proved effective are described here. There is new material on Early Years provision and on working with 14-19 year olds, and new sections on, among much else, healthcare issues, emotional and psychological issues, using the expressive arts with young refugees, and on parental involvement and family literacy.

Anyone who has the first edition of Jill Rutter's invaluable handbook will eagerly welcome this comprehensive update. And those who are working with refugees without this information source will wonder how they ever managed without it.

How to Write A .com Business Plan: .......2006-09-19

A good guide to start organizing ideas. Especially Part 2 - "Directory"- include a lot of very helpful links (almost 50 pages ! ) But , I think examples and some statements are poor and repeated several times . In addition , section Financial projections and Financial Management Plan is presented in VERY high level and can't be used for real business plan creation.

Bueno pero pudo ser mejor.......2001-05-13

Este libro explica bastante bien el proceso de creacion de un Bussines Plan. Detallando cada una de las fases del proceso de creacion con ejemplos del mismo. Para una persona que necesita escribir su primer bussines plan esta libro es la guia perfecta para ello.

Excellent guide for starting up an e-company.......2001-01-12

Having been through the wringer, and witnessed several friends try to do the same, I feel that this book covers the necessary steps for starting, and continuing, a successful e-company. Having a good checklist is essential, doing it with a good sense of humor is always a plus. The interviews brought the material to life where normal examples would have been boring. Nicely done.

Excellent Basic How-to-get-started book.......2001-01-11

This is not one of those dry books where you are immediately lost after the first page. This is an excellent resource for beginners like myself, who are thinking about starting a dot com and don't have the foggiest idea about how to go about it. Ms. Eglash has researched the sites and subject for you, giving you a head start on the process. There is also some practical advise from real people who have been there already. I look forward to a follow-up book.

The Perfect Book for those contemplating a dot com business........2001-01-10

I was looking for a book that wouldn't intimidate me. This book gave me the guidelines and structure I needed to get going on the process without overwhelming me with useless details. I found what I needed in a quick and consise manner. This book presents the basics in a user friendly way. Where else would I find interviews with such a variety of experts like Guy Kawasaki? I highly recommend this book to those of you who want to create a successful dot com business.

Book Description

This comprehensive new study gives a full account of the formulation of British economic policy in the twentieth century, drawing on the most recent research based on documents made available under the thirty-year rule to give detailed insight into policy-making in the 1950s and bringing the narrative right up to the end of the 1980s. The book offers both a lucid narrative description of the evolution of policy from the turn of the century through the First World War, recovery, the Depression, the Second War and its aftermath, the `Keynesian Revolution', and the shifts and about-turns of more recent decades, and a coherent analysis of these processes. Covering both macro and micro issues, the text is structured in such a way as to give due weight to all the various influences at work: institutional aspects, such as the changing role of policy-making ministries, as well as political debate and economic theory.

Book Description

This book takes up a question that has rarely been raised in the field of management: "Could modern Western colonialism have important implications for the practices and theories that inform management and organizations?" Employing the framework of postcolonial theory, an international group of scholars addresses this question, and offers remarkable insights about the implications of the colonial encounter for management. Wide-ranging in scope, the book covers major topics like cross-cultural management, control and resistance, corporate culture, the discourse of exoticization in museums and tourism, and stakeholder issues, and sheds new light on the troubling legacy of colonialism.

Book Description

E-Collaboration promotes interaction between people over the Internet, and is vital in virtual organization arrangements where people co-exist or work together, independent of time and location. E-Collaborations and Virtual Organizations covers a broad range of topics, from underlying technological structures to fundamental mechanisms that are relevant to e-Collaboration and virtual organizations. The chapters in this book present some of the current work in the field and represent a resource upon which knowledge, lessons, and views can be drawn upon for consideration and applications in the virtual world.
