Book Description

-- Gary Owens, Canadian Review of American Studies

John F. Kennedy was not only a president, but also a symbol for America's most cherished ideas. In The Kennedy Obsession, John Hellmann takes a thoroughly original approach to understanding Kennedy's star power and his carefully crafted public image. Tracing Kennedy's self-creation as diligent scholar, bashful hero, and sensitive rebel-cued by cultural figures such as Lord Byron, Ernest Hemingway, and Cary Grant-and the images of Kennedy in the aftermath of his assassination, Hellmann reveals the painstaking transformation of private life into public persona, of a man into perhaps the major American myth of our time.

Microsoft Access Step by Step.......2007-08-17

The book is top notch in its layout and presentation. True to its name, it basically gives you an in-depth tour of Access with sample databases on cd-rom. The paper its printed on is great quality, the illustrations are excellent as well. I never felt lost in the material.

This "tour" is clear and comprehensive. This book is totally geared towards an introduction to Microsoft Access. It doesn't teach you general database theory or construction. I bought this book because I had a work project that involved Access, and I had never built a database before. It serves its purpose in this regard, but I can't say I come away with a full knowledge of the best ways to design a database.

MS Access Version 2002 Step by Step.......2007-08-10

An excellent book. The CD lessons are very helpful and the book is well written. It covers so much more than I ever found in a single chapter in an all in one MS Office instruction book.

A wonderful book for beginners.......2006-12-11

I found this book to be a wonderful title for beginners. The attached CD has all the workfiles and the learners can concentrate on the learning process without having to enter a lot of data manually. This book does not have information on Macro and VBA. I loved learning from it.

Just the Basics.......2006-01-21

This introduction to Access has a few things to recommend it but, in my mind, they are not enough. As this series is prone to do, it does provide a step by step introduction to using the program and covers basic features. The illustrations are slightly better than average in that they are in color and are large enough to actually examine closely. The book also comes with a disk with all of the needed files for tutorials that build upon each other. These are all well done but it is not enough.

Missing is a good explanation as to theory and practical procedure. You learn how to do things but very little about why they are done. That being said, this is marketed as a bare bone, entry level text. For a cursory introduction, it does an adequate job.

A very bad book.......2005-10-11

I was very disappointed by this book. The book itself is quite visually pleasing - nice color screen shots throughout. Also the CD-rom that comes with the book has a new database for each progressive example, so if you mess something up, you can get a fresh copy of the database with the exercise done to work on the next exercise.
So why is the book so bad? It really doesn't explain very much. It goes through examples of various access tasks and walks you through what to do. But there is very little explanation of what you are doing! There are no exercises to reinforce your knowledge. Also, the tone is very boring and it is easy to follow the instructions in a zombie-like manner without thinking and learn absolutely nothing. There is no fun in this book.

Book Description

This volume brings together the work of twenty scholars who have tried to examine the nature of the encounter between Europeans and the other peoples of the world from roughly 1450 to 1800, the Early Modern era. This volume is world-wide in scope but is unified by the central underlying theme that implicit understandings influence every culture's ideas about itself and others. These understandings, however, are changed by experience in a constantly shifting process in which both sides participate, and that makes such encounters complex historical events and moments of discovery.

Book Description

In How the Laser Happened, Nobel laureate Charles Townes provides a highly personal look at some of the leading events in twentieth-century physics. Townes was inventor of the maser, of which the laser is one example; an originator of spectroscopy using microwaves; and a pioneer in the study of gas clouds in galaxies and around stars. Throughout his career he has also been deeply engaged with issues outside of academic research. He worked on applied research projects for Bell Labs; served on the board of directors for General Motors; and devoted extensive effort to advising the government on science, policy, and defense. This memoir traces his multifaceted career from its beginnings on the family farm in South Carolina. Spanning decades of ground-breaking research, the book provides a hands-on description of how working scientists and inventors get their ideas. It also gives a behind-the-scenes look at the scientific community, showing how scientists respond to new ideas and how they approach a variety of issues, from priority and patents to the social and political implications of their work. In addition, Townes touches on the sociology of science, uncovering some of the traditions and values that are invisible to an outsider. A towering and energetic figure, Townes has explored or pioneered most of the roles available to the modern scientist. In addition to fundamental research, he was actively involved in the practical uses of the laser and in the court cases to defend the patent rights. He was a founding member of the Jasons, an influential group of scientists that independently advises the government on defense policy, and he played an active part in scientific decisions and policies from the Truman through the Reagan administration. This lively memoir, packed with first-hand accounts and historical anecdotes, is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the history of science and an inspiring example for students considering scientific careers.

From a fellow Paladin.......2000-08-15

This relatively short book is filled with interesting stories, people and events--not all of which are about physics or science. In fact, this is an enjoyable book for even the most determined liberal arts type who normally might avoid reading about physics. In fact, Dr. Townes seems to approach science and life with a "liberal arts" attitude: curious about everything and more than a little adventurous. He challenges readers to look under all the rocks for the excitement and learning to be found there. Read it for enjoyment and edification (a rare combination these days).
