This is one of my favorite VC++ books. It has great examples and easy to follow explanations of the subject being covered. I have really learned from this book. Excellent.

Almost all of the programming books I have ever bought that are specific to a particular language product are worthless. They spend 550 of 600 pages describing the product's menu options and toolbar buttons then 40 pages of trivial worthless sample programs and 10 pages of index. This is not one of those books.

This book is 650 pages of pertinent and valuable examples and I have used it many times to help me solve many real world problems. I specifically liked that fact that it is the first book I have ever read that described the WM_GETMINMAXINFO message as a method of making CFormView based applications look the way they should. For the record, every other programming book I have that relates to MFC in any way gives naive CFormView examples that look stupid when running and behave stupidly when used.

An amazing amount of topics covered. Very thorough, and concise. No fluff. I constantly refering to it. One bad point: The index is not tabulated correctly, it can be difficult to find subjects. Overall the best book on Visual C++ I've seen yet.

Scott Flint is an accomplished martial artist and self defense trainer. In this book he will teach you ways to increase your awareness, methods to develop your instinctual fighting ability and techniques to keep you safe wherever you go.

This is not a book for the faint of heart or weak of stomach. Scott goes right for the jugular, and pulls no punches with the techniques shown. His style is very much 'in your face' and up close and personal. As he puts it 'you must become your assailant's worst nightmare ' if you are to survive'

As a full time self defense trainer and part time law enforcement officer, I am constantly amazed by recommendations made by well-intentioned people that you should 'give in ' to the attacker and just do whatever he says. My experience and research has shown that the individuals who are mentally aware, properly trained and are willing to fight back are the survivors. This book clearly shows how to do all three.

The good news is that statistics show that the people that are the most prepared to defend themselves are the most likely not to get attacked. Although most attackers are dumb, they are not stupid. Just as the tiger looks for the weakest animal in the herd, the predator looks for signs of weakness when choosing a victim. Just the mere act of preparing yourself may be enough to keep you safe.

Waking the Tiger Within is easy to follow and understand and should be considered a must-read for anyone interested in defending themselves and their loved ones from violent attacks.

Just wanted to let you know that I have read this book and it is great!! It is the best material I have ever encountered that deals with self-defense. It is full of useful tips and ideas to keep you and your loved ones safe. This book should be required reading for everyone. If you are contemplating buying this book, go ahead. You will not be sorry you did. Good job, Scott!

What a GREAT book! For those like myself and my wife, who have long ago eclipsed Jack Benny's 39 years, and who are also handicapped, staying safe in a violent world is not easy. Martial arts? Try them with Degenerative Joint Disease. We knew there had to be a better, easier way for those of us long past our prime "fighting years". As a volunteer personal safety instructor, I read, watch videos and attend as many seminars and programs as possible, always looking for ways to keep ourselves, and others, safe.
"Waking the Tiger Within" by Scott Flint has to be one of the best sources of staying safe to come along in some time. The book covers not only the number one ingredient of safety, ie awareness, but guides the reader into developing "Your natural built-in instinct to survive". His chapter, "Stop Button" is exactly what we have searched for: ending "an attack in one second." (No gun, pepper spray or Black Belt needed.) Worth the price of the book by itself.

Got kids or grandchildren? Worried about bullies? His chapters on these subjects are excellent.
Road Rage? Car-Jacking? (What would YOU do, if locked in the trunk of your car by an assailant?)
Many of the areas Scott writes about are covered in the seminars I present, but this book opens up a host of new, and surprisingly simple, techniques that almost anyone, at any age, in any state of health, can grasp and use.
Chapter One begins with these words: "No one ever has the right to hurt you." When you have finished reading and following the simple advice presented in these pages, you will be a long way toward the realization of that goal.
Buy this book for yourself and give copies to those you love.

I found Stavrou's travel guide to be full of Information on partying in Europe and very funny

I was looking for a budget guide to Europe and this was it.so funny. Everywhere to go to drink and party, especially drink.I reccomend this book if you are looking for action in your travel. Inside information on Europe. I am going to the Greek Isles and want to go to the places that this guy had so much fun at. So Myknosos will be my first stop, after than the Pink Palace Hotel. That is, if i survive Myknosos

If you're traveling to Europe looking to party, party, party go to the Pink Palace which is like a summer camp in the Greek Isles, When you've had enough to drink to get your courage up, Run With The Bulls in Pamplona, Spain. These things and more I have done and reading about them in Stavrou's travel guide to partying around the globe made me laugh. I love this book. Gave me more information on where to go to drink and party for next year's trip.!!Great Read.

Seductive and fashionable, methodically intersects storylines. Five sets of twins and the Toilet Paper Tail Dance made me roll around on the floor laughing. If you enjoyed reading the works of Tom Robbins, Kilgore Trout or any of Kurt Vonegut's works, then you will LOVE reading We Did It.

Mike's style can best be described as fitting the new millennium. I have given all my family and friends copies. Very creative.

Should make a great motion picture. Mike Scott takes humor to a new level. I like his use of Yiddish expressions. It is a story that could leave a lasting impression on anyone.

Knowledge about fibroids and available treatment options has been changing rather rapidly. This book is clearly the most accurate and up to date at the present time (2003). In a changing field, accurate and up-to-date are critically important. That alone, makes Goodwin/Broder a must-read for any woman dealing with fibroids.

This book is well documented, giving citations chapter by chapter - so the reader has some idea what information came from which sources, and can refer to those sources should she wish.

It is very heartening to see an Interventional Radiologist (Goodwin) and a Gynecologist (Broder) COOPERATING to provide COMPLETE information about fibroids in ONE book. Too frequently, these two branches of medicine appear to be competing with one another, even trying to discredit one another, on issues relating to fibroids and treatment of fibroids. There are treatments for fibroids which involve each of these doctor's specializations. Together these two authors make it possible for women to consider the options based on the knowledge of doctors who support what is best for the PATIENT rather than what is best for the individual doctor's ego or pocketbook. This book does that and does it splendidly well. Broder and Goodwin together set out both the pluses and minuses of the various available treatments and what's appropriate when - regardless of whose specialty each treatment lies within.

The authors even cover what's known about treatments of the future including some currently in clinical trials. Goodwin and Broder also discuss lifestyle changes, suggest ways to implement some of them, and what effects one might or might not realistically expect from such changes. The book is rational rather than emotional.

Although this book is written by doctors, it is clear, concise, easy to comprehend and complete. It is not preachy. It does not talk down to the reader. These authors understand their audience and are able to effectively communicate needed information.

This is an informative, easy to read book which reveals important information we need to know. It puts the fear we may have into perspective and was very helpful.

This book was very helpful. I have fibroids and my doctor told me to have a hysterectomy. I am glad I read this book. It gave me a better understanding of my condition. I finished this book with an understanding of my diagnosis and armed with some questions to ask my doctor and a feeling that I was taking charge of my situation. Thank you, thank you , thank you.

this should definately be a movie!!! reading this book was a great experience. it only took me a week to read this book i couldn't put it down! the detail that Mr.Clark put into this book is something that most authors are afraid to do. his detail helped me see exactly how kevin was feeling and all the emotions he felt. i cried through the whole book. this book is by far the most brilliant piece of work i have ever read.

I got this book. After like the first page, I was sucked right in. This is like the best book I have ever read. The way that it's set up, where the chapters switch from the story Kevin's telling, to the story of Kevin, and the relationships Kevin forms throughout his life, it's just awesome. I've never read a book, and have been able to see through a characters mind, as if he was a real person. I feel like I just met a guy, and actually felt bad for him. It was just astounding. Buy this book...

I am not the type to read books.But when I got this book in my hands I COULD NOT PUT IT DOWN.At first all I could say to myself was O MY ... In the middle of the book I laughted so hard I about wet my pants.At the end of the Book I cried myself tosleep..THIS BOOK SHOULD BE MADE INTO A MOVIE.It would open a lot of eyes and maybe some hearts,Then maybe something more could be done.This information in this book is just reading for some,but sadly it is reality for others.I think this book could change lives by being made into a movie.If it could change one life it would be worth it.I believe with all of my heart that when child abuse really happens that "The Angels Do Cry"..I will personally read anything that this young Author writes..I am trully hooked.This book touches my heart,mind and soul.If there is a fan club for Barry Scott Clark please count me in.This book can truly change lives and even save them.I am trully better for reading it.It has been a true honor.I'll never forget this book.

Let me tell you, my children read this book and the excitment that they recieved is out of this world! The characters, Ohff and Grote were absloutly amazing! The animation is fun and colorful! If my children loved it so will yours - Highly recommended!!!

I am a regular reader of the Chicago Parent Magazine, and just recently I read an article in the March 2002 edition that gives the Yuggs a great review! I purchased the book, and I could not even disagree a bit, I logged on and picked it up, absolutley amazing. This story is filled with great characters and very animated illustrations. This will definitly be able to fullfill the imagination of your children as it did for mine!

The illustrations were fantastic depicting a fun and goofy story! The story flows very well and the message is simple and understanding. A great book for all the young ones!

I simply loved this book mainly cuz it was sooooo sweet. The ploy wasn't all that great but the book was amazing . It's about this couple Patricia and Evan they're happy together but their happiness goes down the drain when Pat's old crush comes back. The rest of the story revolvs around how insecure Evan feels how Pat feels her old feelings coming back.It's a pretty good book. I wouldn't say it's brilliant but it's sweet.

I thought that While You Were Gone is an awesome teenromance. I love all the books in the series but this one is defintlyone of my favorites. It kept me guessing and interested until the end. And unlike most teen romances the charcters won't unnaturally perfect. The charcters had many flaws and that was nice to see. A must read!

I thouht the boo was great!I knew their was going to be trouble when Rider showed up.I loved the emotion between Patricia and Evan.I could feel what they were going through.I Hated it what Rider did to Patricia and Evan.If you want to find out what happends at the end.GET THE BOOK!Great job on the book Kieran Scott.................

This book, written by the Author of the unparalleled Trilogy "Tales of the Bard" was created for a young audience to whom the world of Fantasy is so much more real than those who have advanced to cynical adulthood. It brings to life Paedur the Bard, that most Unique of heroes, and a number of youthful followers. Included in this tale are two modern day youths. The author brings his teenage audience on an adventure they will always remember, where they suddenly realise that growing up can happen real fast. These youths walk down an ancient path on an Islet off the Irish Coast and into the world of Padeur, a Bard of millenniums past, drawn through the winds of time by uncontrolled powers that they, along with the friends they meet, must harness if they are to return home. Their Friends are a Huntress from the Icelands, A Torc-Alta (A Man Beast), A Lord of the one of the four most power Sources of Magic, The Elementals, and a Youthful Bard with a Silver Crescent Moon Hook in place of his Left Hand. This tale can be thought of as one in a parallel world to that which existed in Tales of the Bard. A Youthful Paedur still retains the ability to make us listen to his every word filling his word with mystery and magic. For a Youthful audience but otherwise worth reading just to get to meet Paedur once again.

I can't quite tell you how much I love this book! Simply, this is the book that started me reading, I read it first when I was around ten and I'm now 18! Brilliantly told, engaging characters and a gripping story. The only minus perhaps is the fact it's over so fast! Look out for the other sequels Earthlord,Firelord and (Sealord)??.

It's a shame that some of the best Celtic fantasy out there is unnoticed, with a few rare exceptions like "Hounds of the Morrigan." Fortunately the De Danann Tales are published by a smaller, but higher-quality publisher.

The two teenage heroes, from modern times, are suddenly swept up from our world to a different, earlier magical one--the world of Paedur the Bard, the isle of De Danann. Soon they are caught on a mystical struggle, with a bunch of unexpected new allies -- a huntress, a torc-alta, a bard with a hook rather than a hand, and a guy who controls one of the Elementals.

In short, this young and strong band much rescue the Book of Windlord from the island's evil emperor, Balor (whose name will be familiar to students of Irish myth) and his hideous army of reptilian warriors. In addition to this, Our Heroes must also find a way to get home to their own time and place.

Too many books collapse in under the wish to pander to mass tastes, simple sword and sorcery, and sacrifice the underlying tones that make them unique to start with. I include Celtic-influenced SF/F in that category. But often the best gems of this subgenre are to be found in smaller publishers, like "Riddle of Roses" and "Knockabeg." These allow the full richness of the storytelling to be seen and felt, and this one does not skimp on the details that need to be handled.

The two human kids are saved from being standard by the excellent surroundings characters and how they interact. Though I felt the huntress was kinda flat, I liked the torc-alta, the bard and the Elemental lord. Balor is evil, nuff zed (although he is a villain that has been plumbed through many books, anyone with the name Balor remains utter evil).

The writing is excellent and high-paced, though I sometimes wished that Windlord was longer than it actually was. The cover art is amazing, with the four people riding on a reptilian beastie over a castle...

Overall, an engaging and exciting read. Well worth it.

The situations and the people are already well known: Jeremy , who is still stuck at 15, Connie and Walt, who still can't get communication from their son ... It's not so new and fresh anymore but still a great new collection of the funniest strip in publication today. A must buy for all who love Zits

Zits Unzipped is 'sketchbook 5' in the comic strip books and chronicles the life of adolescent Jeremy and his suffering parents, from his relationships with parents and friends to his on/off relationship with his girlfriend. Fans of the strip may find many they've missed over the years; newcomers will relish this coverage of the teen's ironies and agonies.

Here's the plot: Team two interesting and funny fellows together to write a comic strip about teenagers. Geographically situate them thousands of miles apart connected only by email, phone and fax and instruct them to do a daily strip, plus Sunday in color. Tell these guys the content has to illustrate a lovable but sometimes impossible kid and two tolerant parents, and see what you get! Zits!
