Richard McKenzie does an excellent job of taking all of the dry economic theories that college professors "think" they understand and applies them to real world examples.

Economics is never more "Alive" than it is in this book. This is one of those rare books that brings a lot of loose ends of economic theories together, in easily understandable language. It puts them in real life situations where they make sense.

You don't know as much about Economics as the readers of this book do. Jeff B.

Joseph McKenzie has been called the Father of Scottish Photography and he's all of that - a living legend!
This book came to my notice by chance and is now one of my treasured texts. There are other brilliant books by Mr. McKenzie that are not listed here, but can be obtained from the author. Gorbals Children a study in Photographs (ISBN0-86267-269-4 Richard Drew Publishing Ltd) is such another.
For anyone interested in photography, and especially Black and White Photography, these are inspirational works of art. Joseph McKenzie is a master behind the lens and an alchemist in the darkroom. His subject matter is a record of the 20th Century.
With photographs in the Victoria & Albert Museum, in the National Portrait Gallery of Scotland, In Dundee City archives and with the Carnegie Trust, why is it we fail to recognise genius in the flesh, and recognise it only when they have passed to dust? Anyone, who considers himself or herself a photographer without these classics - just isn't.

The books says that the author is a professor of ethics in upstate New York. The good news is that he doesn't write like a professor! At least most of the professors I know. I was able not only to understand what he was saying, but to mentally dialogue with the work as I went along. The book is about Paul Ramsey, the late ethicist from Princeton who was a prolific writer who also believed that one's religion could be a positive force when thinking about moral issues. I read a good deal of books on ethics and postmodernism, and I found the author's presentation of Ramsey a refreshing change from some of the densely-packed (and nearly impossible to understand) volumes I've recently plowed through.

McKenzie covers Ramsey's views on medical and political ethics, and traces his thought back to his Protestant roots. Besides the references to relevant issues like cloning, I guess what I liked the most was the author's final chapter where he made the case that Ramsey's way of doing ethics is a good fit for religious or spiritual people talking about morality today. You don't have to check either your brains or your religious tradition at the door. This is a good read. I do recommend it.

I am a Kindergarten teacher and would love to have a copy of this book. I would use it as an example for a class big book. The students could use the book's predictable text to make their own class book. Please help if you can.

In addition to the great images, it has a nice glossary of terms.

This book will do exactly what they said wasn't possible by illustrating how video and sound can be integrated into your Flash presentations, placing you at the extreme edge of creative web design. The application of such tools as AfterEffects, QuickTime, SoundForge and Wildform test the boundaries of Flash and suggest ways to take sound and video beyond Flash and into the realms of Shockwave.

Showing you how to break your site down and incorporate video and sound, the techniques covered in this book capitalise on the capabilities of Flash whilst tackling its limitations head-on. It will then look at how to take web ideo and sound a step further with Shockwave presentations.

Scorpion's Sting combines elements of clever detective work, compelling personal narrative, and Southwestern life and politics to create an intreguing tale that any reader will love. When McKenzie's unlikely hero, Hal Taylor, adds part-time detective work to his credentials as a high school history teacher and father, he quickly finds himself involved in one of the biggest cases in Arizona history. McKenzie adds vibrant character depth to an excellently developed story, and the result is a terrific novel.

Not many people live together as part of a long-term lifestyle. If you do, this little book might make your life much, much easier.

Though rather specific to Australia, the remaining 95% of the book is hilarious & deeply insightful -- usually with the very same comment.
