Boring, Dated, and Basic.......2007-04-04

This is for beginners, it's filled with useless forms, and it provides very little information beyond a common-sense and reasoned approach to real estate. Surely there must be better resources than this.

good content.......2003-01-29

you can easily buy this book and not be disappointed. it covers in a practical way how to fix up a house and increase the value by more than it will cost you to fix it up.
Real estate however, just like investing in stocks, requires a lot of experience to learn the tricks of the trade. This book helps you at least to not fall in a couple of pitfalls; it's not a tool that can help you overcome your lack of practical experience.

Too much jargon.......2001-12-07

This book did indeed have too much jargon in it. In parts of the book the writer tap into something good, but not go into enough detail for it to make sense. I read another book like this one that gave me insight into what this book was talking about. It is also outdated. The 203 HUD investment is not available anymore.

running the numbers?.......2001-08-09

The rehabber needs to know if the potential profits from a property exceed that of other investment opportunities and whether profits from selling immediately or renting short and long term are stronger. These basic but absolutely essential calculations are given less space here than considerations about whether to replace kitchen sinks and remove aluminum awnings. The latter don't really matter without a basic financial analysis. The book avoids gimmicks, however, and gives sound advice, but without arming you with the real economic tools you'll need.

Ahh, not an ad for some seminar or product!.......1999-10-12

I just began my research into this potentially profitable undertaking. This is the first book on the subject I have read. I did skim others in the store and found that many were geared towards selling some kind of seminar or product. Kevin seems to tell it like it is. He isn't trying to sell anything. His book is very much to-the-point and practical, not just useless theory. He even includes many forms, checklists, etc., and he gets into the real "nuts and bolts" of the process. I feel like I have a pretty well rounded introduction to the subject, including really practical information that would lead me through all of the steps I would have to take to get started.

Ok story. Good Art, but not worth [the money].......2000-05-14

I don't know exactly the reason I picked this up in the store, but it was an ok story with good art. I liked the novelty of the unlikely duo of Batman and the Phantom Stranger, but the plot seemed a little predictable and when I finished the story I did not feel I got my [money's] worth.

Customer Reviews:

Weird News, Weird Book?.......2002-04-19

The first thing that calls the attention of the customer is the title. Many people don't go beyond that, but to those brave enough to pick the book up, you will find a nice collection of true, but weird, news recollected from around the world.
The news are divided in categories, thus making this book excellent for both long and short reading.
Consider this book the next time you feel down, it will make you laugh! :)

Excellent second sequel.......2000-11-13

This is the third book in the News of the Weird series.

It is just as good as the others and is also quite funny.

PAGE TURNING BOOK ON THE TRUE WEIRDNESS OF HUMANITY.......2000-02-18

I received this book as a gift and read it in two days. It's written in a short straight forward way much like newspaper articles. I never knew the depth and scale of the human experience to be so odd until I read this book. I recommend it highly for light vacation/beach side reading. It had me laughing & cringing at the same time. I read it to my husband on a road trip to Seattle from L.A. and it kept us entertained.

Book Description

Best remembered for his 60s Vincent Price/Edgar Allan Poe films and other cult classics, Corman dabbed in anything for a quick buck. But his films were often highly innovative and exciting. Each is covered here in depth; a biography of Corman is included, along with bios of his stock players-all profusely illustrated.

Customer Reviews:

Disappponting.......2002-06-04

Sadly, the author strings events in Corman's life in such a way that you are left not finding any interest in his life, which is sad as Corman has led such an interesting life. His own semi-autobiography was much more intersting and fun to read. The one good point of this book is the rundown of his movies, including intersting facts in the making of them as well as the listing of the major players in Corman's films. Not worth [the $]though.

Book Description

The place has many names: the Underdark, Deepearth, the Realms Below, the Night Below, the Lightless Lands. The vast world beneath the surface is home to fabled races such as beholders, cloakers, drow, illithids, and ixzan. Menzoberranzan, the dreaded City of Spiders, is only one of the hidden cities of the Underdark.

This 128-page book, compiled by the Underdark's most famous son, Drizzt Do'Urden, lays bare the bizarre societies that lurk in the Realms Below. It includes an overview of the major races of the Underdark, an Underdark survival guide, and details and maps of more than a dozen cities. Discover a drow city constructed entirely of calcified spider silk, a nigh-immortal dwarven king trapped in stone form, and a storehouse of knowledge that rivals Candlekeep. Learn the particulars of the alliance of the true master of Firedrake Bay, and an explanation of the enduring strength of the beholder cults along the Lake of Steam.

With Drizzt Do'Urden as your guide, a whole new world opens up beneath your feet.

Suitable for all levels of play.

Not what I expected.......2000-11-04

After reading R. A. Salvatore's books, I expected more. I wanted to know everything about the drow and what happened to Mezonberranzan after Sige of Darkness. I did not find it in this book. It is really good, but could be better. There could be better descriptions about some importants citie sin the Underdark. They tell so little about Mezonberranzan and ohter drow city... But it is ok. But only buy it if you want to play in all the Underdark. Do not expect specific descriptions about your prefered race or city.

A good read but lacking excitement.......2000-05-31

This book is basically an expansion on the underground realms for TSR's Forgotten Realms AD&D campaign setting. As a veteran gamer who probably has more supplements than should be healthy, I found this book to be readable and a good addition for any GM who plans to take his players into the Underdark.

While the essays, descriptions and artwork are perfectly functional, the style is a little dry and lacking in excitement. It would probably have read better if the author had adopted a first-person perspective - after all, the title is 'Drizzt's Guide to the Underdark' - and doesn't quite match up to R.A. Salvatore's Dark Elf Trilogy.

I really, really wanted to like this book (being a Drizzt fan) but feel a little dissapointed. The best gaming supplements are those that are written with such enthusiasm and passion that make gamers all want to explore the new locations at once. Sadly this book doesn't do that, although it is still a good read. Just not great.

Actually not too bad.......2000-04-15

When I picked up this book, I said to myself, "Bah, this will be garbage", but it being about Drizzt, I had to take a look. I was extremely surprised to find it wasn't all that bad.

I will say though (as I've said before) nobody should do Drizzt except for Salvatore

Good way to see the underdark.......2000-02-06

if you have missed out on (now out of print) Story lines on the underdark this book not only cataches you up but gives you a lot more detail

Great book!.......1999-11-23

I just got this book today (2 days earlier than expected) and I sat down and began reading. I'm about done now and just wanted to tell everyone how great the book is. There are parts about every race I have heard of in the Underdark. After it describes the races it tells about the cites they live in, this part is excellant! There are rummors and very interesting facts about all races (I found the Illithads most interesting). On top of all of that there is an eights fold map that makes everything fall together. It is a map of The Realms and on it are many of the many cities of the surface andf the Underdark, it shows where all cities are in relationship to one another. i would have bought the book just for this map. I know it will torment my PCs over and over again. I recomend this book to anyone who likes D&D or even just needs a book to read. The only problem I found was that they (Wizards of the Coast) attached a survey in the book and you had to rip it out to fill it out. It was a post card sized piece of card board. WOTC people, please don't put these in books anymore unless they come out more easily!

Book Description

Tap into the power of the newest member of Microsoft’s Office suite. Learn to use InfoPath’s robust set of tools to capture information that’s locked away in document-based forms. Quickly create forms and data-gathering applications that use XML to separate form and content. This “raw” information can then be integrated into back-end systems, providing an end-to-end solution for data capture in the enterprise.

Customer Reviews:

A practical Guide.......2006-03-10

The book is very objetive and task oriented. A powerful first approach to master teh Microsoft Office Infopath 2003. It makes easy to create, publish and analyse form data collected, and helps to take full advantage of InfoPath's key features.

Jack of all trades and master of none.......2005-06-11

I started working through this book with high hopes but soon got very frustrated. Although the author probably does get through almost everything you can do with InfoPath, you have to do a lot of pushing and shoving to figure out how to do it. The author assumes that you have a project you will be working on with accompanying database or Web service, so you can follow along. The downloadable files included a couple of xml files, but no database. There were no specific instructions for finding a usable webservice to try things out.

Most of the book explains things that any slighty advanced user of Office applications could figure out on their own. I am not sure the author really knows who he is writing for. Since he explains all about XML in a single chapter, he must assume the user is new to that, but somehow also knows all about web services. A book like this has to aim at fairly elementary level, with actual examples to work through, rather than "you can" do this or that.

I have definitely learned a few things reading the book, but mostly through figuring them out on my own.

Good Infopath book.......2004-12-18

As an Excel power user now forced to use Infopath for internal forms, this book was helpful. Definitely pitched at office users as opposed to developers, but still a solid reference.

How To Sell Screendumps to Anybody.......2004-10-10

Do buy this book if you've never heard of XML and you don't really want to know what it is or what it does.
Don't buy this book if you want to know how repeating sections differ from repeating tables, or if you want to understand all the data validation options.
Although this book does offer some simplified explanations of what Infopath does, it is as light on useful examples as it is heavy on screendumps. Simply repeating what's displayed on the screen is not terribly enlightening, and it's even worse when the text and the screendumps are continually 2 or 3 pages apart.
Shocking spelling and simple grammatical errors detract from the little genuinely useful information presented, and make the whole book's pace seem rushed and incomplete.
If you don't really like Microsoft, but you have to learn Infopath, find another book!

User Manual Regurgitation.......2004-07-11

I have found nothing in this book that isn't available for free online or in downloads from Microsoft. I wonder why so many computer book authors feel that a re-editing and repackaging of free, widely available product usage advice provides ample reason to ask a customer to shell out money? It's a false promise. Even the "how to do everything" angle is frankly no more than a re-presentation of applications that Microsoft describes just as well for free (and with code) online.

Are Furbies avatars of future pets? Mark Pesce, Chair of USC's Interactive Media Program and creator of VRML, thinks that technological development and recreational activity inform each other and are converging into a strange, new immersive environment. The Playful World: Interactive Toys and the Future of Imagination is a thoughtful peek into the guts of such toys as LEGO's Mindstorms and Sony's PlayStation2; by extrapolation, Pesce sees them driving research in nanotechnology and virtual reality, but he nobly refuses to succumb to the temptation to make precise predictions.

Taking a look at the history of play (and taking care to knock down whatever remaining resistance we might have to considering play less worthwhile than other activities), the book shows it to be a form of learning--perhaps the most natural form. Toy technology is catching up with current research rapidly; more households have powerful computers playing "Crazy Taxi" with the kids than working on budgets with parents. The presumption that we are creating new ways of learning, knowing, and being that are rapidly overtaking our means to understand and control them could be frightening if explored by an author less familiar with the technology and its users. Instead of thinking "game over," Pesce believes we should get ready to "play again." --Rob Lightner

Book Description

As you read these words, the architects of the new virtual reality are inventing a world you never imagined: call it the playful world. It's a world of interactive Web-based toys that instantly collapse the gulf between wish and existence, space and time, animate and inanimate. It's a world where the entire fabric of the material world becomes manipulable, programmable, mutable. Situated at the crossroads of high technology and popular culture, the playful world is taking shape at the speed of electronic creativity.

Are you ready for it? Your kids are.

In this spellbinding new book, Mark Pesce, one of the pioneers in the ongoing technological revolution, explores how a new kind of knowing and a new way of creating are transforming the culture of our time. It started, bizarrely enough, with Furbys, the first toys that had the "will" to grow and interact intelligently with their environment. As Pesce argues, Furbys, for all their cloying cuteness, were a vital sign of a new human endeavor--the ability to copy part of our own intelligence into the physical world.

But engineers of the playful world have already gone much further into considerably stranger virtual realms. Pesce takes us inside the world's cutting-edge research facilities where the distinction between bits and atoms is rapidly dissolving. We meet the creators of LEGO Mindstorms, a snap-together plastic device that intelligently controls motors and processes data from sensors. We watch technological geniuses like Marvin Minsky and Eric Drexler turn the theoretical breakthroughs of Nobel laureate Richard Feynman into "nanites"-- tiny ultra-high-speed computers that replicate intelligent life. We observe the launch of the amazing and much-anticipated Sony Playstation 2, a platform that will allow us to bring synthetic worlds into the home and create a gateway to the living planet.

Web-based toys are only the beginning--the first glimmer of a new reality that is transforming our entire culture with incredible speed and power. After all, thanks to the computer revolution and the Internet, all of us already command powers that just a generation ago would have been described as magical. Magic is about to take on a whole new dimension. In this dazzling book, Mark Pesce offers a mind-bending preview of the incredible future that awaits us all in The Playful World.

Furby, hypertext, nanotechnology, and other ideas.......2005-12-22

The author was space crazy as a child. He imagined a future among the stars. Children are accompanied by toys. This has been happening for seven thousand years. Toys now represent the science of materials and digital communication. Our relationship to information in the world is changing.

Edison invented the first talking toy. Nolan Bushnell, Atari, fathered pop interactivity. All interactive toys need sensors and affectors. The Furby was an enormously engaging toy. It seemed to have facial expressions and a capacity for about one thousand utterances in pidgin--Furbish.

In Artificial Intelligence studies Norbert Wiener, Alan Turing, Marvin Minsky, and Terry Winograd were pioneers. AI encountered roadblocks as researchers grappled with characteristics such as intuition. Robots appear in the world of toys including Lego Mindstorm, 1998, half of which were purchased for use by adults.

Richard Feynman accurately predicted miniaturization in a paper published in 1959. The author cannot imagine doing his work without the world wide web. Ted Nelson invented hypertext. He didn't have access to a computer. He befriended Any van Dam. Nelson's text and van Dam's code came together in a simple application. Englebart of Stanford had a more mature hypertext product.

Each innovation helps humanity do more with less according to Buchminster Fuller. Connectivity can enhance citizenship, among other things.

Out-of-date and Trivial.......2003-12-21

I purchased and read this book with the hopes of learning about the cutting edge of technology and how it's affecting us culturally. This book may have weakly accomplished that lesson when it was first published, but its (necessary?) reference to techno-ephemera of the late 90's strikes a dull, anachronistic chord for a reader not three years after its date of publishing.

For an example, Pesce devotes _multiple_ chapters to discussing the Furby. He, himself, acknowledges the blisteringly fast pace of technology, so it is not suprising that his detailed account of the creation and marketing of this toy is tragically trite and (to use the word as unsnobbishly as possible) passe.

After enduring these first chapters I hoped the book might address more general aspects of technology, but instead it becomes a personal travelogue of Pesce's (not the least bit compelling) contributions to cyberspace. If he relayed these events with the perceptive knack of modern historians, his anecdotes might prove worthwhile, but instead they read like a desperate attempt of his "trying to find a place for himself" in the story of the development of modern technology.

This book brought me very few new perspectives and even fewer new facts. I strongly discourage anyone from investing time or money into this book if you're approaching it with the objectives I did.

BECOME A CHILD AGAIN AND DISCOVER YOU.......2003-07-20

"The Playful World" is a fascinating tome by author Mark Pesce, one of the foremost practical techno wizards of our time. The creator of VRML (virtual reality mark-up language) Pesce's visions are creating a new immersive society and info-mediaries for today and tomorrow. Pesce helps you learn how to pretend again-- how to make believe and use those skills to build new bridges to the future whether you're involved in tech or whether you just want to understand the next generation of anything -- people, places and things. Pesce tackles tough topics and adds an amusing presentation to help you understand such concepts as distributed intelligence, engineered structures and yes, toys.
Pesce maintains it started with the FURBY -- you remember those little gremlin like creatures form Tiger Electronics a few holiday seasons ago don't you? He says they are the beginning of being able to embody human intelligence into the machine world (at least the beginning of what we can see on our store shelves). IA -- intelligence augmented is probably more likely than AI artificial intelligence but as our devices get smarter and our phones know where are kids and colleagues are, it's comforting to think that you can learn to USE technology not have it replace YOU!. Pesce is optimistic that the new 'synthetic worlds will create a gateway to a living planet'. It's all just a few years ahead-- this book will serve as a bridge of knowledge to tomorrow and make you think about ordinary objects in extraordinary ways.

Toys that make you go "aha".......2003-06-19

This is a book I wish I had written. When I picked up this book, I was amazed at how many subjects Mark covered that I was interested in too. Everything from Lego Mindstorms, Eric Drexler's Nanotechnology, Richard Feynman's talk on "More room at the bottom" that was the inspiration for Nanotechnology and many more. This book covers so much ground and describes many very interesting ideas and technologies. Pesce was the designer of VRML, Virtual Reality Modeling Language, which enables web pages to display 3D scenes and has been involved in the forefront of emerging technology for a while, so he is very qualified to give us the whirlwind tour of these "Mind Toys".

He takes off from where Seymour Papert's Mindstorms left us with technologies that create toys that help us to develop our mental models of the world. Toys that make us think.

As a generation of children grow up playing with Lego Mindstorms, Furbys, AIBO's etc.. they will develop their mental faculties that will come into play as they define the future.

I grew up with a BBC micro and started programming adventure games in BASIC, which opened up a whole new world to me. As a generation we played computer games while growing up. These were rich interactive environments that left us feeling unchallenged in a schooling system, which was still geared towards to old teaching techniques. These techniques seemed totally inadequate in coping with children who could solve complex mathematical problems at home whilst programming. So I am not sure how the schools of today handle children who are building robots and playing with toys that they can not only interact with, but ones which can learn and change as they are interacted with.

Do we need to change the way we approach education? Instead of complaining that children have MTV (Short) attention spans, we should be creating an education system that can cope with the speed at which these young minds are working at. I think we should be encouraging children to be thinking faster and day dreaming and using their imaginations, instead of trying to get them to fit an out dated model that will leave them totally unprepared for an ever more complex world.

I digress, but these are thoughts that come to mind while reading this book, as you whisked off on this tour of future mind toys.

If you can't tell, I love this book! Anyone interested in toys that can help them or their children think, should read this book.

eye-opening.......2003-04-10

The Playful World is a fascinating look at the future of computers and nanotechnology, and of wonders which may very well come to pass in the next decade or so (If Moore's Law continues to hold true, by 2012 we'll have reached the atomic level, and there will be supercomputers the size of a grain of sand). Pesce has been involved in the forefront of some of these advances, so he knows his stuff, and his enthusiasm for the potentials of this field is evident throughout the book. If the book has a fault, it is that he downplays or ignores the dangers inherent in the use of this technology, e.g., what's to prevent someone from releasing "spy dust", or clouds of nano-cameras, into an area, or billions of nano-surgeons to lobotomize an entire population? This book may be nothing new for those already immersed in the computer field, but for anyone else, it is required reading.

Book Description

In the 1990s, the emerging field of ecocriticism--nature-sensitive literary studies--began to establish and define itself. Arguing that the field has matured to the point where it requires a thorough critique and new theoretical underpinnings, Patrick D. Murphy suggests a variety of ways ecocriticism can become more inclusive in its objects of study and more sophisticated in its methodologies.

According to Murphy, ecocriticism in the United States has been too narrowly associated with the study of nonfiction. To broaden the field's purview, he proposes a new taxonomy that draws an important distinction between nature writing--a nonfiction essay form descended from Henry David Thoreau--nature literature, which includes fiction and poetry, and environmental literature, which is inspired by and concerned with a threatened natural world. He also urges ecocritics to expand their study to international literature, and he proceeds to survey nature-oriented prose from Central America, the Caribbean, southern Africa, Spain, and Japan.

On a theoretical level, Murphy addresses the relationship of ecofeminism to postmodernism and provides interpretations of contemporary American multicultural and women's literature, including works by Gary Snyder, Simon Ortiz, Jane Brox, Pat Mora, Lori Anderson, Nora Naranjo-Morse, Sallie Tisdale, and Terry Tempest Williams. Applying his theories of ecocritical analysis to underappreciated or unknown literature, especially fiction and poetry by American women writers of color, Murphy introduces his fellow critics to authors ripe for ecocritical analysis.
