This superb piece of publishing gave me an uncensored participants view of the sixties which I was unable to attend due to my date of birth. I found the photos revealing and the letters/conversations imtimate. The contents of this book will be useful for historians both cultural as well as musical. Thoroughly recommended for anyone whose interests fall within any of the following music, the sixites, photography, the Beatles, The Rolling Stones or any other significant musician from that period.

This is a great book that describes one of the best pieces of software for a *NIX enviroment I have ever seen. It is easy to read and understand

Webmin is a great web based interface that can handle clustering, updates across all servers handles by Webmin and many many other things

Joe does a great job getting into the details of Webmin and the basics of everyday system administration as is relates to the use of Webmin

As a experinced Linux System Admin I found many tips for the use of Webmin that have made my life as an Admin much easier

My hats off to Joe for such a great book and Jamie for a fantastic piece of Open Source Software

This is a marvelous book with wonderful recipes and thoughts to feed the soul as well as the mind. Readable and great bread too!

The illustrations are stunning and the poems are simple and spectacular. An amazing read for any child, these poems are especially empowering for young african american children. It's unusual to find a book that doesn't make an issue of being a "minority." I highly, highly recommend it.

This book is about Cameron Whitney, an 11-year-old boy who plays flute. His parents force him to go to an outdoor summer program at Camp Rainbow Lake instead of a music camp he wanted to go to. When getting there he finds out they are going to play a war game where you try to find trash out in the woods and keep it without another team finding you and taking your "spoils". Cam teams up with Jason, a smart guy who likes sports, and "Whaler", whose real name is Jonah and people call him whaler because of his size. One night Cam decides to sneak out and practice his flute in secret, but Buddy, a mean boy who always is really mean, swipes his flute while he isn't looking. Buddy makes Cam a deal: If Cam spies on his own team for Buddy, Buddy will keep his flute safe. Cam takes the deal. Shortly after this Jason decides to make Cam pretend to be on Buddy's side and spy for his team. With Cam being a double agent and Jason taking the game to a new level, the stakes get even higher in The Buddy Trap.

I would give The Buddy Trap five stars. Each chapter adds more danger, complication, and dishonesty to the game of stealing and betrayal.

This book has to be on of the best books that I have used or owned for learning and using C++. The examples are plentiful and offer tremendious help. The writers realize that good examples are essential to learning and using C++. I have owned this book for a few weeks and it has become my favorite reference. Those of use that are learning and currently trying to tame the C++ beast will love the great examples that really relate to situations and problems we will encounter in real life. Being a student that uses Visual C++ and Borland C++ I will give this book 10 stars and will take my example to school for my department and show them what a real textbook should look like!

The book covers basic algebra, logarithms, basic calculus and an introduction to differential equations.

The intent is that the reader really understand the ideas behind the formulas. Here is a sample from an early chapter explaining the idea "area grows as the square of linear dimensions." It includes an explanation using simple language of some very technical math from calculus (convergence of Riemann sums).

The area of a rectangle is width times height. If we make the rectangle 3 times bigger, then BOTH the width AND the height are 3 times larger. What happens to the area? Well, since area is width times height, the area is multiplied by 3 when we make the width 3 times bigger. Then the area is multiplied by another 3 when we make the height 3 times bigger. Thus, the area has been multiplied by 3 TWICE; that is, the area has been multiplied by 3 squared = 9.

If we make a rectangle 5 times bigger, the area is multiplied by 5 squared = 25. This is a general fact: if we make the rectangle x times larger (which means that both width and height are made x times bigger), then the area is multiplied by x squared.

So much for rectangles. But what about other shapes?. Well, they all work the same way. It does not matter if the shape is circle or a moth. If we enlarge any shape by a factor of x the area is multiplied by x squared. We can see this as follows: whatever the shape is, imagine drawing lots of rectangles inside it. Fill it with little rectangles. We won't quite succeed with something like a circle because it is round and can't be filled exactly with rectangles. But, never mind. We can get very close. We can use so many rectangles and make then so small that very little of the shape is not covered by one of the rectangles. Then the total area of all the rectangles will be so close to the area of the shape that no one would care about the difference. Now make everything three times bigger; that is, enlarge the shape and all the tiny rectangles inside it. What is the area of the big new circle? Well, it is almost exactly equal to the total area in all the enlarged rectangles. Now we know that when we make rectangles three times larger, their area is multiplied by 9. So the big rectangles in the big shape have 9 times the area of the small rectangles in the small shape. So the area of the big shape is 9 times the area of the small shape. We have discovered that for any shape, if we increase the linear dimensions by multiplying by a factor of x then the area is multiplied by x squared. .......... The following essay shows how simple mathematical considerations of length, area and volume can be used to explain many things in biology. The same reasoning also explains many things in engineering, astronomy, and architecture to name but a few. The basic point is "you can't just take something that works, make it a lot bigger (or smaller) and expect it to still work." The reason is that length, area and volume grow at different rates.

What Cooper's book is not: ponderous or trite, heavy-handed or unthinking. On the contrary, Cooper does a wonderful job of blending keen observations with a terrific simplicity. It didn't tell me what to think or see, but it did a wonderful job of showing me what the state was about--warts and all. Rarely have I felt that a place was so well captured. And it took all that Cooper did, the pictures and the text, to pull it off. Without either, it wouldn't have worked, falling into simplicity or pedantry. But it does work. Imagine Bruce Chatwin with a sketchbook. It was a real joy to read.

DR. Morton Cooper, a pioneer in the study of speech and "voice doctor to the stars," has a plan that will put magic in your voice. With his simple, minutes-a-day program,
DR. Cooper shows you how to develop your natural, dynamic voice-a voice that will influence others and enhance your self-image. Many who rely on their livelihood have successfully used DR. Cooper's revolutionary series of exercises: Henry Fonda, Joan Rivers, Kirk Douglas, Anne Bancroft, Jerome Hines, O.J.Simpson, Diahann Carroll, Dennis Weaver, and many others.
Until know, communication's most important tool- the voice-has been studied primarily by actors, singers, and public speakers. Change your voice, change your life offers every one the opportunity to have a star-quality voice. This reviewed is from the paperback edition.

I recommend this book to anyone who is considering child care or writing a paper on child care. It has great information, questions to ask yourself and what to look for in child care. It outlines how to deicde what type of child care is best for you and your child along with references and guidelines for each state. It covers types of child care, guilt associated with child care, long term effects of child care, websites/resources for child care, etc.
