Book Description
The city in the electronic era is the focus of this third volume of the boogazine Verb. Verb Transits considers the impact of electronic technology on urban reality, on the forms which it is takes, on new phenomena and that which generates it, but also on the means through which all aspects of city space are experienced and lived. This exploration ranges from the strange typological hybrids of the ultra-dense Asian city, to the specifically American mixture of real and entertainment city, to the relationship between the physcial network on the ground and its sister network the Internet. Rem Koolhaas and the Harvard Design Institute go shopping; Annete Baldauf visits the open-air mall; and Norman Klein travels from the Vatican to Las Vegas. Colorful, tactile, dense, and packaged in its own very contemporary design, Verb Connectionremains devoted to cutting-edge issues in architecture and design.

Book Description
Journey back in time to life on the farm during the Depression!
The going price for a good milk cow was $2.50. Laundry soap, and most everything else, was made on the farm. Model T's were converted into tractors. Clothes were washed at night when the wind was blowing enough to power the 32-volt windcharger for the electric washing machine.
Join Les Anderson as he takes you back in time in this charming and humorous look at the hardships and joys of life on the farm during the Depression in rural Minnesota, then on to life working at the newspaper in the big city. It not only recalls a simpler time, but allows us to reconnect with our own past so that we, too, can cherish that which is most important and meaningful about life.

Book Description
Computerized Bookkeeping in Laymen's Terms a QuickBooks® and small business instruction guide was written for the small business owner who wants the convenience and cost-savings of setting up and running their own bookkeeping system using QuickBooks® but don't know where to start. There are many books that explain bookkeeping, accounting and QuickBooks®, but their explanations begin with the assumption that you the reader already knows accounting. They fail to address the small business owner's questions in understanding the laymen's term -the how, why and what of accounting. Aydlott quickly helps the reader understand such fundamentals spelling out that a balance sheet is a financial statement that reports assets, liabilities, and owners equity on a specific date - by translating it in Laymen's Terms so the reader understand that a balance sheet is a "How much money do I have, How much money do I owe, and How much money am I worth report?" Thus this guide overcomes the biggest problem of other accounting books that tell you how to set-up QuickBooks® accounts, how to run reports, but they lack in the language and the "That's nice to show me how to set-up an account, but with what?" by answering the questions that are most commonly asked such as ""What do I need, what are financial reports and how do I get there in steps?" Aydlott makes clear "You need to know the why you are setting up your books a certain way, where the entries come from and go to on your reports, and most importantly, how much money you need over the long haul to make your business work".
Over 340 pages of basic computerized bookkeeping instructions with QuickBooks® graphics that can be used with QuickBooks® versions 2002 to the most current version and translated explanations for the Small Business, Home Based Business and Entrepreneur in Laymen's Terms. The reader can forget learning each accounting function separately because they won't be remembered anyway. Instead Aydlott shows how to set up your books from point A to point B and keep on top of it throughout the year. The book includes a very important CD that has an Excel or Works compatible Personal Budget, Business Budget, and Business Cash Flow Projection. A Cash Flow Projection is just a clever budget that explains what you think your business will earn, spend and have left over throughout the year. It also includes a basic laymen's chapter on Business Taxes, how to estimate your tax liability and mistakes to avoid. This instruction guide was written for the Authors clients in mind, giving a greater resource for the most common questions and problems using QuickBooks® and understanding accounting. Throw in the Authors sense of humor and honest approach to bookkeeping, and you won't be board with this informative business book.

From the Author.......2005-06-26
Computerized Bookkeeping in Laymen's Terms was written with my clients questions and needs in mind. My clients are the blue collar workers throughout the US who are not Harvard Graduates, but Self-Trained Entrepreneurs and tradesman who don't speak proper english. I welcome the notation from the no so favorable review and unfortunately I made a mistake. Each puplication is re-edited due to the templates and size of files throughout the book causing Word to change what it believes to be correct spelling to what I did correct or change. The wrong print file was sent to the printer with the un-edited changes to the book in which I did not realize until the review was posted on Amazon regarding the typos and gramatical errors. That mistake has been corrected. Any reader will be able to locate a typo or grammatical error in just about any publication, mine included. As far as changing the "slang" or grammer, I wrote the book in "Laymen's" Terms which defeats the purpose. Try explaining to a non bean counting professional how to do accounting in accounting language, and you will loose them. This book is the only Laymen's Term guide for the other 70% of the US Small Business population to finally figure out. The biggest question asked is, "If my small business has QuickBooks and I use the instruction manual that comes with the program, WHAT do I set up my books with? What do I need, and what are the Chart of Accounts?" Every QuickBooks instruction book has templates, how to set up accounts, how to bill customers, etc. What they don't have is Why, With What, and How do you read a financial report and what does it mean? What do I do to keep on top of my bookkeeping so my Accountant doesn't charge me a fortune at the end of the year? It is a wonderful tool that helps the small business owner answer the questions in a language that they speak.

Lifesaver - love this book!.......2004-12-16
This book is a lifesaver. Our accounting was in such a disarray that we couldn't even give our books to an accountant. We ordered Computerized Bookkeeping in Layman's Terms - it's in plain english and so easy to understand that and we were able to clean up our books ourselves. Now our balance sheet actually balances!
Is correct grammer and spelling too much to ask?.......2004-12-04
Hi - I read the other reviews for this book, and it sounded like exactly what I was looking for, so I bought it. Even though it did contain some good information, I was so distracted by the wording, grammar and spelling mistakes that I had trouble reading it, and finally gave up. So I returned it.
I'll start out by listing some of the grammar and spelling mistakes (with page numbers):
10: All's it takes is one human error.... (All's? Short for what?)
38: Consultants are really all indirect expenses such as overhead if any. (huh?)
38: Think of it as a "Cost of Service" account if your Joe Standard.... (you're)
50: ...because that is what list you are at. (ending sentence with a preposition)
51: QuickBooks is not automatically set up with it's own icon. (its)
55: An Employee is someone in whom you pay an hourly rate or salary to, in which you deduct and pay their payroll taxes.
57: We are going to make the business pay for it's own debts.
57: Click on the Pay to the order of screen and type in the name of the company in whom you wrote the check out too. (in whom? Too?)
61: When I'm posting these entries, I cannot expense them because we would have to track them as a fixed asset. You can only expense them at the end of the year when you post your depreciation. (Changing from "I" to "we" to "you.")
79: If your entries are wrong, alls you have to do is, from the report your in, double click on the entry that is incorrect, it will open you up to the original entry, and you can change the account it's posted too. (alls? wait, I remember this word... your? Run-on sentence?)
175: I know it's a pain and doesn't seem fair that you have to write something off that you buy over a period of time, but we didn't make the rules. (Misplaced modifier: she was trying to say: "I know it's a pain and doesn't seem fair to buy something, and then have to write it off over a period of time, but we didn't make the rules."
177: He used $1000.00 out of the Companies checking account by writing a check. (company's)
Misspelled words: curser (63: for the little blinking thing on your screen), loose (70: lose), ketch (70, 90, 175: catch, the first time a came across this spelling, I thought she was just trying to be funny, but alas....)
Political views: "Way to go Arnie!!!!" Distracting. If you want to say something like this, put it in the forward. Whether I agree with you or not, it distracts me from what I am trying to learn.
All of these mistakes make me wonder how good her accounting advice is. No, I don't expect her to be an expert at vocabulary and grammar, but if she expects me to pay $70 for this book, I expect the grammar and spelling to be right. I don't think I'm asking too much.... If the grammar had been perfect, I probably wouldn't have gone looking for the publisher. But it wasn't, and I did, and so now I really am not sure if I should trust the advice of an unknown author who wrote a book that was then published by an unknown publisher. So from now on, if I buy a book that has the potential to change the way I do business, I will look for the known publisher, whose advice I feel I can trust.
"Saved by the book!".......2004-08-27
As corny as this sounds, reading this book saved me two thousand dollars making only one point on donations. Being self employed, I need every right off I can get. I give quite a bit to charity, but when it came to buyng a new car, I thought I would donate my old car to charity for a tax deduction - it sounds so good, right? WRONG! The book value of my car was $3,800. I was in the process of giving my car away while I was reading this book, and I couldn't believe was I was reading. After talking to my CPA, I discovered that my $3,800 car would have been worth just over $500 in tax reduction to the IRS. It made me sick! I don't mind helping charties, but I am not made of money. I sold the car for $2,500, which is obviously a much better deal than a $500 tax reduction. I would have never known about this until after the fact. I am so glad I read this book!
This author is very funny, sarcastic, and a matter of fact. I got very upset reading the chapter on taxes, but the truth is the truth. The IRS get's there share - and the author makes her jokes. It is refreshing. This book is more than explaining Quick Books, it gives so much more information - especially for small businesses. I have a mortgage company and want to keep my books as simple as possible. This book is very easy to read and understand. I would recommend this book to everyone - especially the small business owner!
You completed my education in bookkeeping.......2004-04-30
Julie:
I started to read your book and I found that I could not put it down. When I told myself that, I felt like a nerd. What kind of person gets their kicks out of reading tax and bookkeeping stuff.
Well I guess I do! Your book is candy for someone that is interested in bookkeeping.
This book is just the thing to let me have the confidence to face that bad bookkeeping world out there. I knew 95% of everything that I was reading but, I read all of it anyway and you had things in there that I was completely unaware of. When I read these I just sat in awe of what I had just learned.
I went through a wonderful bookkeeping course that taught me everything there is about bookkeeping and the course even had something about getting bookkeeping business but I always felt as if something was missing. I kept searching all over the place for months and I eventually came upon this book.
I have re-read this book a couple of times and use it constantly as a reference. I do not know what my confidence in this business would do without it.
I cannot thank you enough for writing this.

Excellent Critique of the Leaders of the Southern Command .......2007-01-23
Excellent analysis of not the best generals of the Civil War, outside of General Lee, but the early leaders of the armies in the field. Lee is oddly out of place in this collection as Braxton Bragg, Beareguard, Joeseph E. Johnson, Hood and Smith seem to have such negative images compared to Lee. Albert Sidney Johnson's early death at Shiloh allows him to stand apart as his intial success at Shiloh to a degree limits a longterm look. The most interesting essays, as one familar with the Civil War's generals would gather, are on Bragg, Beareguard and Johnson. Robertson writes a fascinating bio on Bragg who is the most puzzling general in the Confederacy. A gifted organizer but he lacked the ability to be a leader and inspire his men and generals. Bragg had an often nasty disposition and was often argumentive, allegedly even with himself when in dual roles. But Robertson points out that Bragg was, outside of R. E. Lee, the most offensive minded general of a major Army in the Confederacy. Beaureguard is pictured as having grand battle designs but also suffering from an inflated ego and like Joe Johnson, a total inability to get along with Davis. Johnson is looked upon rather severly by author Krick who notes Johnson's life long preoccupation with rank existed in the old army long before he festered over it as a Confederate General. Krick well details Johnson's passion for retreat and no plan that does extend the joke that his eastern line in the sand would have eventually been the Mississippi had he not been wounded at Seven Pines. These eassys on these three are rather negative (Krick gives a broad hint with his title on Johnson, "Snarl, Sneer and Quarrel" )though Beareguard gets high marks for saving Petersburg in 1864. Hood is also quite interesting as his career is meteor like in spite of his woundings and his intrigues in the western army help promote him to commanding general. He suffers from his weakened physical condition and the peter principal demonstrated by frequent attacks around Atlanta to destroying his army at Franklin. Smith and Cooper are less intersting but important. Smith because he becomes the Trans Mississippi commander after serving an odd satelite command in Kentucky co-existing with Bragg. Cooper is necessary as he was the senior ranking General in the Confederacy and William Davis tells the who and the why very well. William Davis is right when he called Cooper a great Civil War trivia question. The only negative, is that the majority of these characters have such major flaws described by the authors that you have to wonder how they reached such high command, but maybe the answer is simple, Davis picked them. Or perhaps, the authors are a little too critical. But these are all great essays by legendary Civil War historians James I. Robertson, Jr., Wlliam C. Davis, Robert Krick along with Gary Gallagher, Charles Roland, Stephen Engle, Joseph Glatthaar and Keith Bohannon. With historians like these, it's a full house.
A Confederacy of Some Dunces.......2006-11-10
"Leaders of the Lost Cause" offers interesting biographical sketches of the eight men who became full general officers in the CSA. This book seems designed for the casual reader who may be suprised that the likes of Stonewall Jackson and James Longstreet are not included. Nonetheless, both serious students of the war and casual ones will profit from the book.
The essays are generally of the highest quality. Gary Gallagher offers an excellent concise biography on Robert E. Lee and attempts to explain why he could remain popular in the army and with civilians despite high casualites. Charles Roland provides a solid look at the enigmatic P.G.T Beauregard and finds that the Creole general's character often undermined his leadership. William Davis offers a readable essay on the obscure Samuel Cooper and one is left with the conclusion that Cooper was the Confederate Halleck, a somewhat disagreeable, though competent, paper pusher. Stephen Engle concludes that Albert Sidney Johnson, who entered the war with high hopes and simply could not live up to them (and didn't based on his handling of the West), by dying at Shiloh, saw his reputation restored as one of the great "what ifs" of the war. Robert Krick takes Joe Johnston to task in his essay and one is forced to agree that Johnston undermined his reputation by his own comments and the book he wrote. Joseph Glatthaar agrees with Robert Kerby, the magistarial historian of the Confederate Trans-Mississippi South, that Edmund Kirby Smith was a competent young officer who was handed a task that nobody could have done in leading that isolated region during the second half of the war. At the same time, Glatthaar crushes the idea that Tom Connelly expressed of Kirby Smith having a messianic complex. The essay would have been a bit stronger if it went into Kirby Smith's rivalry with Richard Taylor and how he was able to juggle friendships with Jeff Davis and his archrival Joe Johnston. Keith Bohannon adds to the conventional wisdom that John Bell Hood, while a solid divisional commander and an agressive leader, had no business leading an army.
James Robertson contributes perhaps the best essay in the collection, a look at Braxton Bragg. Robertson maintains that no "better organizer and disciplinarian exsisted in the Confederate armies" than Bragg (p. 72) and reminds readers that, with the exception of Lee, he was also the most agressive army commander. At the same time, Robertson does not overlook Bragg's many flaws as a man and as a commander. This is an interesting essay; it does not descend into the hagiographic praise for the subject that seems to plague Civil War biographers. At the same time, Robertson is challenging a great deal of conventional wisdom by showing Bragg as a better leader than most historians believe. That does not mean that Robertson has a positive view of his subject but he does indicate that Bragg had more talent than is commonly believed. One is forced to ponder his point, even if not fully accepting it.
There is little that is new here on the leading generals though a good deal of insight on the more obscure Cooper and Kirby Smith as well as Robertson's new take on Bragg. This combination of new insights and familiar biographical details make this a book that can appeal to both the casual and serious reader. In an age of dry books aimed for specialists, "Leaders of the Lost Cause" is a bit of a pleasant suprise and, unlike many books on the subject, does not fall for the old "moonlight and magnolias" worship of Confederate leaders. None of these leaders comes off unscathed and some come off rather badly.
This is a readable and fair book that offers a great deal to scholars as well as readers with only a passing interest in the subject. I can not think of higher praise for a work of non-fiction.
Leaders of the Lost Cause: Succinct and On Target essays on Confederate High Command!.......2006-09-07
Gary Gallagher and Joseph T. Glaathaar are two of our most eminent Civil War scholars! In this new volume they have asked several Civil War scholars to write brief essays on the eight men who were full generals of the Confederate States of America.
All of the articles are of high quality:.
1 P.G.T. Beauregard by Charles Roland. The doughty Creole was
the hero of Ft. Sumter and served well during the siege of Petersburg. His service during First Bull Run was exemplary.
He was not up to the top notch of battlefield leadership, coming up with some chimerical strategic ideas during the last months of the war. His service
was good not great.
2. Braxton Bragg by the eminent Jackson biographer Bud Robertson
shows this grouchy and inept commander at his worst.
3. Samuel Cooper is little known today but William C. Davis gives him a passing grade as the administrative leader of the
Confederate government. Cooper was born in 1798, was northern born and never held a field command for the South.
4. Albert Sidney Johnson is dubbed the Hamlet of the South by Stephen D. Engle. Johnston died at Shiloh. He was a close friend of Jefferson Davis. What might have been had he lived to fight further battles is pure conjecture.
5. Snarl, Sneer and Quarrel is the opinion of Robert K. Krick the acerbic writer of the article on Joseph E. Johnston. Johnston's Fabian tactics of retreat in the Georgia campaign was a failed stategy. Krick is a great historian and his article is
worth the price of the book!
6. It was the dubious duty of Edmund Kirby Smith the Florida native to defend the Trans Missssippi region during the war.
He was a good subordinate but was in way over his head at such
a difficult assignmentaccording to Joseph T. Glatthaar whose
article is well done.
7. Keith S. Bohannon's picture of John Bell Hood is a man of all brawn and dash but little in the brain department! He was promoted beyond his abilities as he led grey legions in the Atlanta and Tennessee campaigns of 1864.
8. Robert Edward Lee was a great geneal who led the Confederate armies with bloody tenacity. Gary Gallagher is one of my favorite Civil War authors and his portrait of Lee is limned with excellent scholarship and judicious appraisal.
This is a good book to whet the appetite of readers eager to
learn more about Civil War leadership. As an old Civil War buff I learned some new angles to these commanders. The book is well
recommended for someone just getting their feet wet in the vast
ocean of Civil War scholarship. Excellent!
A good introduction.......2005-02-18
Eight men became full generals in the army of the Confederate States of America. Four in the first months and four during the course of the war. All of us know some of the names, students of the war know more but few can name all eight men. They were diverse but in many ways similar, all West Point educated, all intelligent and well to do by the standards of the times. One never led an army in battle, one was killed in battle, two fought with President Davis almost constantly and one almost destroyed his army. Overall, most of them were not very good generals being unable to work within the system to produce victory on the battlefield.
Each man is the subject of a 30 to 40-page essay covering his life, outlining his pre and post war activities but concentrating on the war. Each essay is written by a different person, which both adds and subtracts from the book. Taking a positive approach to J.E. Johnston or Braxton Bragg is a challenge but taking a very negative approach detracts from the book. Depending on your view, the essay on AS & JE Johnston, Bragg and Hood will be enjoyed or disliked. I found the JE Johnston essay to be very negative and overlooked many of his contributions. Bragg got a fair and even handed critique, while Hood is cast as a tragic figure. Beauregard's essay was excellent and I enjoyed Cooper's essay the most.
The book is badly needed and while not a "must have" is a valuable introduction, I would have liked it much better if it had been less partisan.
8 Generals Who Lead the Armies of the South.......2004-11-16
President Jefferson Davis once wrote his brother that great generals only come around once in every generation. Unfortunately, Davis explained, the Confederacy needed a half a dozen."
During the war the South had eight full generals. Of these only Lee proved to be fully up to the demands of the job. Albert Sidney Johnston died (Shiloh) before he could really prove himself. The others Joe Johnson, P. G. T. Beauregard, Braxton Bragg, Samuel Cooper, Edmund Kirby Smith, John Bell Hood did not live up to the expectations of Davis.
Many of these men have not received the attention due them while other generals of lessor rank have received much more. Samuel Cooper, in particular is little known. As the adjutant and inspector general of the Confederacy, he spent the war behind a desk. But it was from this desk that the men, weapons, food and other supplies went to the front line armies.
This is an excellent book, covering an aspect of the war not seen before.

Book Description
Artifical intelligence has grown rapidly as a field of research and industrial application in recent years. Whereas traditionally, AI used techniques drawn from rule-based and logic programming systems, interest is now growing in less precise heuristic methods, notably genetic algorithms, fuzzy logic, and neural networks. This textbook provides a first course in AI which covers these new technologies and how they may be applied. Prerequisites are minimal: a basic understanding of computer science and mathematics are sufficient and so this will be suitable for undergraduates coming to this subject for the first time. Professor Munakata is a leading figure in this field and has given courses on this topic extensively. As a result, students and researchers will enjoy this authoritative introduction to the subject. In each topic the book covers the most essential and widely employed material, particularly as it is used in real-world applications. Its emphasis is on concise yet clear descriptions of the technical substance.

Very good Non-Symbolic AI Overview and Introduction.......2000-05-10
If you are searching for an overview of Non-Symbolic AI fields with introduction (not just shallow), hints and examples for practical application, and comparison of performance, strengths and weaknesses, this is definately a book to be considered. It covers the topics pretty well, and only the chapters about rough sets and chaos approaches seem to differ a bit from the scheme followed in the chapters before.
