Zuckerman, a contributing editor to Petersen's Photographic Magazine, excels in conceiving unusual images and manipulating his equipment to make his ideas a reality. He takes the opposite approach of most of his competitors, though--instead of producing images based on an art director's guidelines, he creates first, then examines the market for his work. An avid maker of computer-manipulated images, Zuckerman advises the reader to be aware of ever-changing trends in photography. Although most of the remarkable pictures in the book were produced with a medium format camera, all of them can be accomplished with 35mm equipment.
Book Description
Another laugh-out-loud volume of heart-warming cartoon classics from the pen of Bil Keane, creator of America's favorite comic strip family, "The Family Circus."

Book Description
Donovan's study is a wide-ranging analysis of Joseph Conrad's relation to Victorian and early twentieth century popular culture. Illustrated summaries of the development of specific popular cultural forms--songs, early cinema, magazines, advertising, and tourism--are used to underpin fresh readings of Conrad's central works. Drawing on an array of original primary materials, Donovan argues that popular culture exerted a significant influence on this major modern writer.

Book Description
Based on a case-study carried out in the southern city of Guangzhou in China, this book describes in compelling details the dramatic changes occurring at a large state-owned enterprise as this socialist country undergoes market transition. Its shows how these changes have led to the dismantling of the "iron rice bowl," the transformation of the socialist work unit and the life of its members, and the creation of a new model of occupational welfare.

Helpful!.......2000-11-15
This book was easy to follow and provided more practical information which I used throughout my pregnancy. I purchased other books for reference, but I read this one from cover to cover. I found the information was very helpful, especially for a first pregnancy. Buy and enjoy.
The information is good but difficult to find........1999-01-03
The book is hard to follow. It has only been useful in my last month of pregnancy. The way the book is structured does not permit you to get ready a little bit every month which was my objective in purchasing this book.

Book Description
The British Army has earned a worldwide reputation for its skill at 'peacemaking', intervening in the Balkans and the Middle East to stop civil wars and end communal violence. It does this so well that the horrific risks involved are only really understood by the soldiers themselves, on patrol in strange lands riven by ancient hatreds. In September 2000 the dangers were suddenly highlighted by the capture of eleven British soldiers by a notorious militia gang in Sierra Leone. The so-called 'West Side Boys' had subjected their part of the country to a long reign of terror, murdering, kidnapping and mutilating anyone who stood in their way.
Customer Reviews:
A worth while read.......2007-08-30
The book gives a good background history on the conflict in Sierra Leone, providing the reader with framework to understand the greater conflict. The story of the actual raid, while lacking in detail is well delivered and interesting enough for a military professional or someone interested in Sierra Leones recent history.
lack of ritim.......2007-05-15
Autogh this is a great book, and above all a great istory, the way it is told (with long charpters of the serra leon history and considerations of UN responsibel personal) ad a lack of ritm
An Authoritative Account.......2004-10-26
Retired British Territorial Army officer William Fowler has done a superb job describing not only the September 2000 rescue of British soldiers held hostage in Sierra Leone, but provided a well written examination of the long lasting conflict in West Africa. His account of the roots of the problem is necessary to understand events in their historical context, and makes the book useful to those with an interest in contemporary Africa. Likewise, his thorough description of the planning and support efforts behind the operation will be appreciated by military professionals. Overall, a great book on a fascinating topic.
not exciting.......2004-10-19
This is a book long on historical backgrounds and logistical info. Very little that is colorful or revealing abt the culture of the British military or SAS.
Book Description
RFID, which stands for
Radio Frequency IDentification, is a technology that uses computer chips smaller than a grain of sand to track items from a distance. And as this mind-blowing book explains, plans and efforts are being made now by global corporations and the U.S government to turn this advanced technology, these spychips, into a way to track our daily activities-and keep us all on Big Brother's short leash. Compiling massive amounts of research with firsthand knowledge,
Spychips explains RFID technology and reveals the history and future of the master planners' strategies to imbed these trackers on everything-from postage stamps to shoes to people themselves-and spy on Americans without our knowledge or consent. It also urgently encourages consumers to take action now-to protect their privacy and civil liberties before it's too late.
Customer Reviews:
Pulp Fiction, Pop Science.......2007-09-20
Albrecht's book is a sensational account of what could happen if the laws of physics were suspended and all men were created evil. It is pure fantasy. One of the reviewers said that only in America can someone with such limited knowledge and no credentials write a book about something they know little about. This is a silly book with mistatements galore. It does a disservice to those people who are true privacy advocates but wish to employ technology in a privacy enhancing way. False statements give rise to false fears and that is what Ms. Albrecht is all about. She needs to take a course or two on RFID before she writes about it.
A must read - everyone should know about the uses of RFID to track items, people, ???.......2007-05-13
This should be required reading in schools and colleges - people need to know how RFID can be used - for example, prices being changed based on who is purchasing an item - all people need to know how RFID can be used ethically - and unethically. And it seems corporations are not too hung up on ethics -
Everyone should read it.......2007-04-18
This is not light reading, but I truly think every American should read this book! I have heard Dr. Albrecht speak on numerous occasions, and I think that most of us in our nation are sleeping while our freedoms are chipped away. (no pun intended) Our right to privacy is one of the most personal freedoms.
After reading this book, you will think twice about EVERY purchase you make again! Not to mention answering personal questions while doing ordinary business every day.
A MUST READ! This is a highly documented and well-researched book.
I just purchased an extra copy to loan out to others.
The Road to 1984.......2007-01-15
Like many people, I have tended to neglect the downside of new technologies. Even though we are bombarded with advertising these days, it never occurred to me that supposedly responsible corporations would stoop to the lengths described in this book, such as literally spying on my movements while I am shopping! Parts of the book were a bit repetitive, but it certainly made me realize how very easily all of us could be led onto the road to 1984 and away from the privacy and freedoms we have long enjoyed.
People need to Wake Up!.......2007-01-05
I've been following industry news on RFID and related technologies for quite some time. Industry tells us that this technology will "simplify your life" or "make life safer". And in some ways it does. However, there are other important points, some even more important than the safety aspects. These points are far from positive, ranging from an almost total lack of privacy in all aspects of our lives, to the centralizing of an amazing amount of information on, and access to, everyone, worldwide. One can only lay back and take this with a comfortable smile if they believe that nobody using this technology will ever have any ulterier, negative, or dangerous use in mind - now and into the foreseable future. Katherine Albrecht, and others she works with, have spearheaded reporting on this for a long time through the group CASPIAN (check it out online), and now this book brings together years of research and information and presents it in a very readable and instructive way. This book is not an anti-technology scare tactic. It simply balances the view and shows us that there are many things about technology that we need to be aware of, cautious about, and that we should not blindly accept all technology that is developed. Hopefully this book will reach the general population. This book would be a good study tool in schools.
