Magic Whistle #10 (Magic Whistle)
Sam Henderson Manufacturer: Alternative Comics ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 1891867946 |
Book Description
Comic genius Sam Henderson is one of the funniest people in comics. His Magic Whistle series has been nominated every single year since 1999 for the Harvey Award for "Special Award for Humor," and Sam was nominated for an Emmy for his writing for SpongeBob SquarePants. Henderson's drawing is intentionally crude, but it has the same kind of energy you see in the work of today's best gag cartoonists. Extremely low-brow humor that almost parodies low-brow humor - it is enjoyable on either level.Customer Reviews:

Cool Men and the Second Sex (Gender and Culture Series)
Susan Fraiman Manufacturer: Columbia University Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 0231129637 |
Book Description
Academic superstars Andrew Ross, Edward Said, and Henry Louis Gates, Jr. Bad boy filmmakers Quentin Tarantino, Spike Lee, and Brian de Palma. What do these influential contemporary figures have in common? In Cool Men and the Second Sex, Susan Fraiman identifies them all with "cool masculinity" and boldly unpacks the gender politics of their work.
According to Fraiman, "cool men" rebel against a mainstream defined as maternal. Bad boys resist the authority of women and banish mothers to the realm of the uncool. As a result, despite their hipness -- or because of it -- these men too often feel free to ignore the insights of feminist thinkers. Through subtle close readings, Fraiman shows that even Gates, champion of black women's writing, and even queer theorists bent on undoing gender binaries, at times end up devaluing women in favor of men and masculinity.
A wide-ranging and fair-minded analysis, Cool Men acknowledges the invaluable contributions of its subjects while also deciphering the gender codes and baring the contradictions implicit in their work. Affirming the legacy of second-wave feminist scholars and drawing as well on the intersectional work of third-wavers, Cool Men helps to reinvent feminist critique for the twenty-first century.

Cisco CallManager Fundamentals: A Cisco AVVID Solution
John Alexander , Chris Pearce , Anne Smith , and Delon Whetten Manufacturer: Cisco Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items:
ASIN: 1587050080 |
Amazon.com
Cisco Systems has lately become aggressive in promoting applications of the IP network infrastructure equipment that the company has traditionally sold. Cisco CallManager--the subject of Cisco CallManager Fundamentals--is essentially an IP-based Public Branch Exchange (PBX) that enables companies to carry their voice and data traffic on a single network infrastructure. This book explains how CallManager (originally developed by Selsius Systems) goes about providing call-control services to IP telephony devices and performing reliably as a corporate telephone switch, and offers insight into how the product may evolve. The volume provides systems architects, engineers, and implementation technicians with the details they need to build strong CallManager systems.Written by members of the CallManager development team and extensively edited for accuracy, Cisco CallManager Fundamentals uses prose and remarkably clear network diagrams to make its points. People looking for a detailed understanding of how CallManager works will find themselves delighted. While technicians looking for click-this, click-that procedures will be generally disappointed (such didactic techniques are not typical of Cisco Press books), they will find a fair number of sections that explain, in general terms, how to do such administrative work as loading users' names into a CallManager database and routing calls to emergency numbers. --David Wall
Topics covered: All aspects of Cisco CallManager, versions 3.0x and 3.1, of interest to the people who design, implement, and maintain the IP telephony solution. Matters of system architecture (with plenty of information about hardware and network requirements), call routing, media processing, and reporting are all covered. Does not include details of CallManager's integration with the Intelligent Contact Manager (ICM) business-rules engine, or much information on external Computer Telephony Integration (CTI) applications.
Book Description
Exposes the inner workings of CallManager to help you maximize your Cisco IP Telephony solution
Cisco CallManager Fundamentals provides examples and reference information about CallManager, the call processing component of the Cisco AVVID (Architecture for Voice, Video, and Integrated Data) IP Telephony solution. Cisco CallManager Fundamentals uses examples and architectural descriptions to explain how CallManager processes calls. This book details the inner workings of CallManager so that those responsible for designing and maintaining a Voice over IP (VoIP) solution from Cisco Systems can understand the role each component plays and how they interrelate. You'll learn detailed information about hardware and software components, call routing, media processing, system management and monitoring, and call detail records. The authors, all members of the CallManager group at Cisco Systems, also provide a list of features and Cisco solutions that integrate with CallManager. This book is the perfect resource to supplement your understanding of CallManager.

A Very Well Docemented Book That Is Clear And Easy To Unders.......2001-12-08
Although I am only half was through this book I am finding it excellent. It goes into good detail on the information, which you have to know, whilst not sending you to sleep on information, which is not relevant to call manager, networking, or telephony. I am confident that once I have read the book a few times I should be able to pass the exam without too much trouble. Cannot say this about the Cisco training documentation.

Jews in the Mediterranean Diaspora: From Alexander to Trajan (323 BCE-117 CE) (Hellenistic Culture and Society)
John M. G. Barclay Manufacturer: University of California Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 0520218434 |
Book Description
Most studies of Jews in the period from Alexander to Trajan have concentrated almost exclusively on Jerusalem and Judea. In this book, John Barclay assembles and analyzes evidence about the Jewish communities in Egypt, Syria, Cyrenaica, Rome, and Asia. Barclay's ambitious goal is to describe, as precisely as the evidence allows, the varying levels of assimilation and antagonism between Jews and the non-Jewish communities in these areas for this 440-year period. With a concluding review of Jewish identity in the Diaspora as a whole, this book provides our first comprehensive and multi-faceted survey of Diaspora communities and Diaspora literature.Customer Reviews:

Mind Sculpture: Unlocking Your Brain's Untapped Potential
Ian H. Robertson Manufacturer: Fromm Intl ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items:
ASIN: 0880642211 |
Book Description
Research into the brain in the last decade has dramatically changed our understanding of how we humans manage to escape our biological shackles by constantly re-molding ourselves in a near-infinite number of ways. Here one of the world's leading researchers of brain rehabilitation explains with remarkable lucidity the new discoveries to the general reader and the important implications this has for health and human potential.Ian Robertson explains in fascinating detail how who and what we are is sculpted throughout our lifetime, second by second, by our interactions with the world, by our relationships with other people. Your brain is changed physically by the conversations you have, the events you witness and the love you receive. This is true all through your life, not just when you are an infant, writes Prof. Robertson. This process, which he calls sculpting the brain, occurs despite the genetic hard-wiring of Darwinian evolution. Indeed, evolution's gift to us, he says, is that we are no longer slaves of our biology, even if that biology hasn't endowed us with perfection. The evolutionary gift we have allows us to modify our inclinations in countless ways in a process which constantly shapes and reshapes us, as a trembling web of 100 billion brain cells fires off cascades of impulses which ultimately create the experiences which make us what we are.
Mind Sculpture shows:
Why your brain is physically changed by what you do, see, feel and think
How you can become physically stronger from the comfort of your armchair by carrying out mental exercises in your imagination
Why learning molds the brain structurally, growing new connections between brain cells
How education builds brain power it's not all down to genes.
How increasing your education over your lifetime will make you more likely to be mentally healthy in old age.
Why stress can cause brain cells to shrink or even die.
How keeping mentally active as you get older keeps your brain working better
Why love grows the brain

Tosses out the old, negative myths about the brain.......2002-09-02
Pointless waste of innocent trees.......2001-10-15
According to the cover blurb this book reflects the very latest brain research. In fact it is almost completely based on what is known as "Hebbian Learning", or as this author puts it (over and over and OVER again) "cells that fire together, wire together."
Is this new? Not unless you count research circa 1949 as new.
Despite the author's impressive CV, this book has a single message - brain cells don't regenerate, but the more you use your brain the more new connections it will develop.
Question is, how to you string this message out to over 250 pages? With lots of waffle and SERIOUS repetition. That's how.
Not even a total newcomer to the subject will be able to extract much from this simplistic, even patronising text.
Conclusion: Like the headline says, a pointless waste of innocent trees.
Highly Recommended!.......2001-04-18
A must read........2000-09-25
