          5 out of 5 stars piss-yourself funny and a classic? yep, yep, yep........2006-08-12

          examples from t.v. shows I grew up watching so
          maybe a little dated but still a funny book with
          a message for girls and even older women about the
          need to use humor and comedy in our lives so that we
          can be seen as real human beings and also as people who
          manage to have a really good time, and with a message for
          females who need to have encouragemnent to take themselves--
          this is the weird part--seriously.

          5 out of 5 stars THIS IS A RIOT. Buy the book and give yourself a new friend!.......2006-03-08

          I read this book a couple of years ago and liked it but I just read it again because I am going through a bad time (divorce, hate my job, getting fed up with y teenage kids) and it cheered me up like taking a piece of cake from a dessert cart when somebody else is paying.Highly recommended.

          5 out of 5 stars Fantastic study of women's humor.......2005-04-02

          I read this book after hearing the author speak at a local college. She was wonderful! This book totally met my expectations. It's not a collection of jokes, but it is uplifting. Regina Barreca also makes excellent points about the dynamics of power between men and women, in addition to how humor can either confirm or alter these dynamics. I would recommend this to anyone interested in feminism and/or humor.

          5 out of 5 stars Hear the one about the broad with a sense of humor?.......2005-02-16

          Enough stories here to prove the point that women are funnier than men, esp. if you give them a chance to tell their own stories the way they like to--don't cut them off, don't tell them you can imagine where it's going--just listen and love it! Very funny stuff on every page

          5 out of 5 stars THE classic book on humor and women.......2005-02-06

          I was assigned this book in a class a couple years ago, and I have kept read it every couple of years to give me a boost and to remind me of what a powerful force humor can be. The examples are terrific and actually useful. The writing can be appreciated by a reader from high school age through assisted-living age...it is not a book just for a small group but for everybody. For women who like to laugh this book comes close to being perfect. The jokes about sex are worth the price!

            Book Description

            Suburbia is about a group of suburban twenty-year-olds who get together by a convenience store one autumn night to welcome an old pal returning from a successful national tour with his rock band. His arrival in a limousine replete with entourage precipitates an all-night whirlwind of drinking, sex, and violence. As the sun rises over the strip mall parking lot, tragedy and comedy have laced through these nine young lives and changed them forever.

            4 out of 5 stars Pretty Good.......2007-05-07

            The script is a much better read if you've seen the performance, otherwise it's kind of hard to tell what's going on. For fans only.

            4 out of 5 stars Excellent with adaptions.......2005-03-14

            This is an excellent play that explores the true grit behind being a youth in America. Touching on some of the things that effect teens today, Bogosian brought to life the true picture of the beatnik degenerate youth of today. A vivid picture of suburbian teenagers struggling with life. It was almost as if you'd taken a piece of my youth and written a screenplay surrounding it. My only negative is the word choice. Bogosian portrays the truth behind teenagers in America today, but overly typifies their language. The slang Bogosian uses wavears from accurate to grossly inaccurate. Overall high remarks for Bogosian.

            4 out of 5 stars pretty good.......2002-06-18

            i prefer bogosian's monologues to his plays. suburbia was good, but i preferred talk radio. a quick enjoyable read. if you are only going to read one of his books read "pounding nails into the floor with my forehead"

            5 out of 5 stars If you liked the movie..........2002-02-25

            ...you have to read the book! SubUrbia is one of my favorite movies, and I thought I'd read it also. There are several parts in the book that didn't make it to the movie. Also, I finished it in two sittings, so it's not very time consuming.

            5 out of 5 stars Gen. X's dramatic voice........2002-01-29

            This is one of the most powerful plays I've read (and performed in). Eric Bogosian has captured Gen. X and raised his middle finger to all those who question us. Tragic and beautiful! Skip the movie though. It didn't come close to the play.

            Book Description

            The first extensive survey of contemporary travel writing, Tourists with Typewriters offers a series of challenging and provocative critical insights into a wide range of travel narratives written in English after the Second World War. The book focuses in particular on contemporary travel writers such as Jan Morris, Peter Matthiessen, V. S. Naipaul, Barry Lopez, Mary Morris, Paul Theroux, Peter Mayle, and the late Bruce Chatwin. It examines some of the reasons for travel writing's enduring popularity, and for its particular appeal to readers--many of them also travelers--in the present.
            The book maps new terrain in a growing area of critical study. Although critical of travel writing's complacency and its often unacknowledged ethnocentrism, the book recognizes its importance as both a literary and cultural form. While travel writing at its worst emerges as a crude expression of economic advantage, at its best it becomes a subtle instrument of cultural self-perception, a barometer for changing views of "other" (i.e., foreign, non-Western) cultures, and a trigger for the information circuits that tap us into the wider world.
            Tourists with Typewriters gauges both the best and worst in contemporary travel writing, capturing the excitement of this most volatile--and at times infuriating--of literary genres. The book will appeal to general readers interested in a closer examination of travel writing and to academic readers in disciplines such as literary/cultural studies, geography, history, anthropology, and tourism studies.
            "An eminently readable and informative study. It breathes tolerance and intelligence. It is critically perceptive and very au courant. It raises issues (coloniality, postmodernity, gender. . . ) and discusses books that readers of many different stripes will want to find out about." --Ross Chambers, University of Michigan
            Patrick Holland, Associate Professor of English, University of Guelph, was born in New Zealand and educated in England, Australia, and Canada. Graham Huggan, Professor of English, University of Munich, was born in Hong Kong and educated in England and in British Columbia.

              3 out of 5 stars Incomplete.......2004-04-29

              This sourcebook is designed to help you build a campaign along the lines of the pulps of the 30's and 40's. It gives a lot of history for the period and a few character types, but I found it to be incomplete. It doesn't give enough information for running a game. For example, if you want to run an Indiana Jones type game, you'll need to buy the WWII sourcebook for information about Nazis. If you want to do the Mummy, you'll need to buy the Egypt sourcebook for information on mummies and pyramids. If you want to steal jewels in an ancient Aztec temple, you have to buy the Aztec book. The list goes on and on. If you have a good idea of what kind of story you would like to play, it would be better to get the sourcebook directly related to that story. If you feel like playing a pulp-style game, but you don't have any story ideas, then this book may help you think of a few.

              5 out of 5 stars An Era Revealed.......2002-07-30

              GURPS Cliffhangers, like almost all GURPS books, is a gamemaster's delight. The book gathers handily in one place almost all the information you will want on the history and background of the 1920's - 1940's in one place. It not only covers the events and the background information for North America, but for almost all of the world. The layout is clean and well organized, and GURPS-specific rules are, as with all GURPS sourcebooks, confined to one chapter. This means that the book is easily usable as a source for GM's running campaignes set in the Cliffhanger era using different rulesystems. Several pages at the end are reserved for a very thorough bibliography of othe sources - not just books, but comics, films, and other games. If you're looking at running a cliffhanger/pulp style game, you can't do wrong by using GURPS Cliffhangers as a starting point.

              Great for getting a general idea of the different aspects involved in Software PM, which is very different from general project management. Not many books exist that are as focused as this one on the management of the SDLC. However, this book is merely an introduction to each step and you will need additional references for a deeper understanding of any of the topics discussed in this book.

              4 out of 5 stars A good reference.......2001-11-14

              I bought the "Complete Idiot's Guide to Project Management" first, then found this title on the shelves. So I bought The Dummies book and gave The Idiot's book away.

              The Dummies book is a good reference for people dabbling in project management. It is well structured, well laid-out, and well written. At the same time it cuts the (...)found in so many heavy-duty management books.

              Particularly useful are the templates found all through the book - and the CD with digital copies of them all. I have introduced many of these templates into my workplace, with slight modifications.

              Negatives? The absence of UML and Object Oriented development processes.

              I've just wrapped up reading "Software Project Management for Dummies" book and would like to start by saying thank you. There are several Software PM books out there though it seems that the majority focus on a highly technical perspective or on basic communication tactics. I am to interview Monday for a Software PM position (am currently an Internet PM) and your book has helped me address the differences between the two.

              I came across the book after combing through nearly 15 software pm books. I despise the title "for dummies" and had not picked it up until I was frustrated with the current offerings. As mentioned, they primarily dealt with highly technical software processes or people skills. Hardly any even mentioned a scope document! The CD has proven to be an enormous resource for myself. Those are the forms/documents needed for monitoring and progression of projects that I have not seen anywhere.

              Thanks for the book and any tips that may follow.

              Regards, Jason L. Volk

              3 out of 5 stars Okay for an outline, but not a bible to live by.......2000-11-13

              I have a big gripe with Dummies books. They never seem to give you exactly what you need. Sure, the table of contents seems thorough, but once you start reading, it feels like you're missing a lot.

              This book is no different. Although the included CD comes with some useful templates, the book's content reflects mostly non-standard practices of the author. I was quite alarmed in how little it discusses UML and Object Oriented development. These are the standards of today's projects, and the author seems to provide little attention to how important it is to adhere to standards in projects.

              One of the biggest reasons why projects fail if due to a lack of standards involved in the project lifecycle. I recommend this book to give you a basic understanding of what's involved in project management, but I suggest following up with a book that adheres to strict standards. Standards make you marketable when it comes to changing jobs or getting projects approved. The methodology in this book is purely the method of the author.

              5 out of 5 stars Super reference.......2000-08-09

              The book is a very good reference for beginners. I am a professional educator with Webster University and teach a graduate level course in software project management. I have had approximately 30 years experience with project management in general and 10 years experience with software project management. The material on the enclosed CD-ROM is excellent for beginners to use to get acquainted with the tools of the trade.

              I bought this for my wife, who has found it to be one of the most informative sources of history in a nutshell. Pick the year, the month, the day and the important facts are there. We both love it.

              this book is awesome. It gives you a picture into history by using photographs, timelines and newspaper articles.

              5 out of 5 stars Its like reading the newspaper throughout the century..........2000-08-02

              History made easy and fun, thats what this book is all about. I hated history when I was in school because the textbooks were boring. Now this book is something completely different. For every month of each year since the beginning of the century it has the highlights of the important events that happened that time. It is like reading an article in the newspaper, giving you the feeling of the era and also providing great pictures. This chronicle is all about pictures. Its structure has a feeling of a magazine or a newspaper.

              The whole idea is that you get all the important events of the 20th century in an enjoyable fashion. It covers all aspects of the history like scientific breakthroughs, artistic movements, wars, politics, from all around the world but with a particular emphasis in the US history ( I have also read the Greek version which gives more emphasis in Greek history).

              The book is huge and it is more like an encyclopedia rather than a history book. I like to read it before I go to bed and I doubt that any reader will be able to go from cover to cover singlehandedly. It will really strenghten your skills in world history and because of the informal way of covering the events (more like a reporters point of view rather than a professor of history) you will be able to remember a lot after you have read the book. I enjoyed particularly the coverage of the WWII, it is breathtaking, its like reliving the whole thing. I can only imagine the poor people reading in the newspapers of the era the advancement of Hitlers troop across Europe and then the break of war and the losses and the great battles and..... I can go forever.

              This book is also a great option for a gift. Believe me the people that you are going to give this book will really appreciate it and will rember you for a long time.

              The use of actual newspaper articles in their original format showed the style of the day as well a presenting the news of the day. Photographs and even some contemporary ads are interesting. Reviewed by two teachers, one eleementary and one high school.

                  Book Description



                  As a result of immigration from Asia in the wake of the passage of the 1965 Hart-Celler Immigration Act, the fastest-growing religions in America -- faster than all Christian groups combined -- are Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Sikhism. In this remarkable book, a leading scholar of religion asks how these new faiths have changed or have been changed by the pluralist face of American civil society. How have these new religious minorities been affected by the deep-rooted American ambivalence toward foreign traditions?

                  Bruce Lawrence casts a comparativist eye on the American religious scene and explores the ways in which various groups of Asian immigrants have, and sometimes have not, been integrated into the American polity. In the process, he offers several important correctives. Too often, Lawrence argues, profiles of Asian American experience focus exclusively on immigrants from East Asia, to the exclusion of South Asian and West Asian voices. New Faiths, Old Fears seeks to make all Asians equally important and to break free of traditional geographic markers, most reflecting nineteenth-century imperial values, that artificially divide the people of the "Middle East" from the rest of Asia, with whom they share certain religious and cultural ties. Iranian Americans, in particular, emerge as a vital bridge group whose experience tells us much about how Asians of many different backgrounds have found their way in their new nation.

                  Beyond simply expanding and refining our conception of who Asian Americans are, Lawrence draws instructive comparisons between Asian Americans' experience and those of Native, African, and Hispanic Americans, exposing undercurrents of racial and class antagonisms. He concludes that we cannot fully comprehend the contours and valences of culture and religion in America without understanding how this racialized class prejudice shapes the views of the dominant class toward immigrants and other marginal groups.

                  Book Description

                  A complete reference book on recirculating aquaculture systems. Book also includes basic material on fish health management, fluid mechanics, economics, monitoring & control systems, waste management, ozonation, fish nutrition, and building heat transfer and moisture control. The 2nd edition has added a 40 page chapter on aquaponics. Extensive software is provided on a CD that performs most of the critical calculations used in aquaculture.

                  The text is generally applicable to all forms of aquaculture and can be used for a classroom text for several levels of instruction (from advanced highschool to graduate level courses).

                  The authors have extensive practical experience. Fred Wheaton wrote the defining text for aquacultural engineering in 1977; this text is a much needed update.
