Art 5, Story 3.......2001-11-24

The artwork is great! The drawing and the coloring are fantastic, and it's obvious how the indian influence has guided Mr. Velasco's styling. The story, though, is so-so and, even if you're into Mayan mythos, seems pretty choppy and simplistic. I would buy it just for the artwork; but if you're looking for a meaningful philosophical discourse on life and the universe stick with Gaiman or Ennis.

Try this one!.......2002-02-11

Chris Heeter does a great job of pulling together inspiring stories and good ideas to help us laugh at ourselves and move to the next place, bringing our internal critic along with us. Rather than trying to stomp that part of ourselves out, Daily Degradations offers ways to move toward self-acceptance with good humor and good sense.

Book Description

In this erudite and profusely illustrated history of perception, Barbara Stafford explores a remarkable set of body metaphors deriving from both aesthetic and medical practices that were developed during the enlightenment for making visible the unseeable aspects of the world. While she focuses on these metaphors as a reflection of the changing attitudes toward the human body during the period of birth of the modern world, she also presents a strong argument for our need to recognize the occurrence of a profound revolution -- a radical shift from a textbased to a visually centered culture. Stafford agues, in fact, that modern societies need to develop innovative, nonlinguistic paradigms and to train a broad public in visual aptitude.

Barbara Maria Stafford is Professor of Art History at the University of Chicago.

Book Description

For nearly 20 years now I have been training champions, the champions of the field of clandestine chemistry. This book is their training ground.

I cover virtually every possible method of making that "food of the God's" - meth along with how to make it from commonplace materials. I also give coverage of the history of this field, so that newcomers can quickly feel like old pros.

Beyond that, I also supply news inserts with the books so that the latest patents don't leave you in the dust in this rapidly evolving field. This is the place to get up to speed and up to date in this hot area of study.

Customer Reviews:

Needs more work.......2005-10-12

I think the book lacked proper illustrations. In one instance the author refers to a black and white sketch when he says "Making a claisen adapter, as shown in figure 5, is self explanatory". It looks like there is a cork on one end but what material is the rest made of? When working with chemicals, the material your equiptment is made of can be crucial or lifesaving.The author often gets sidetracked with different versions of a recipe. Maybe a different edition would be better?

Can't Find Book Read This.......2005-08-30

This is a great book that is a little inaccessible to newby chemists, but it's about as simple as the process can be explained. And if you can't understand it you're liable to blow yourself up so I would try something else, theoretically speaking. Since Amazon wont sell this I would direct all interested parties to the Loompanics Unlimited catalog. That's a great catalog in general, and it sells the most updated edition of this book plus others by the author. It also has several other great books. Cheers.

Secrets of Methamphetamine Manufacture: Including Recipes for Mda, Ecstasy, and Other Psychedelic Amphetamines.......2005-07-23

while the info is really in this book, it is very hard to read an I feel could be written in more of a layman's term.

Study hard..........2005-02-28

Finally a resource for the "cooks" out there who know absolutely nothing about what they are doing and end up blowing up their house, or worse yet, their children. "Joe Blow" next door decides he's gonna make some meth and then the cash will roll in, ignoring the fact that the chemicals he's bringing into the neighborhood could very well kill. Maybe, just maybe, this book can cut the casualties of production.

Book Description

Interactive web maps generated by MapPoint-Microsoft's popular mapping technology are crucial for businesses in a number of fields, including real estate, package delivery, and commercial air travel. In a word, MapPoint provides businesses with "location." Specifically, it provides an integrated set of products, servers, and services to enable a business to track the precise location of remote assets, thereby reducing operational costs and improving productivity. Whether the asset is a truck, a taxi, or even a field rep, MapPoint can tell you exactly where it is at any time.

Programming MapPoint in .NET from O'Reilly shows you how to use MapPoint to build custom applications for the desktop, the web, and mobile devices. The book also explains how to analyze and share data generated from a wide range of maps, including those that show demographic trends, population density, and sales potential. Chandu Thota, one of Microsoft's main MapPoint developers and the book's author, has organized the material into four major sections, each dedicated to a different MapPoint technology:

MapPoint 2004 - calculating routes, rendering data maps, integrating with Global Positioning System (GPS) for obtaining real-time location
MapPoint Web Service - techniques for finding points of interest, creating applications using the Find APIs and Route APIs, rendering LineDrive maps and polygons
MapPoint Location Server - deployment scenarios, getting real-time location using mobile phones, managing contacts and privacy settings
MSN Virtual Earth - the basics of programming with new MSN Virtual Earth APIs

The book provides a jumpstart for working with these technologies, including in-depth discussions about the core concepts and sample code provided in C#. It's ideal for anyone who wants to develop locations-based applications with MapPoint technologies.

The next time you follow online directions to the airport, you can chalk up an assist to MapPoint's state-of-the-art interactive mapping abilities. Better yet, you'll know how to create that same type of map yourself.

Customer Reviews:

LOCATION! LOCATION!.......2006-07-27

Do you want to develop a location-based application? If you do, then this book is for you! Author Chandu Thota, has done an outstanding job of writing a book that provides an integrated set of products, servers, and services that helps enterprises improve their customers' experience by applying mapping and location.

Thota, begins by introducing the MapPoint suite of products and technologies, setting the stage by discussing the basics of each technology and usage scenarios. Then, the author covers programming with the MapPoint 2004 ActiveX control and MapPoint 2004 object model for rendering maps, finding places and addresses, and calculating routes. Next, he covers dealing with business data, rendering data maps, and adding thematic shapes using geographic data. The author then covers integration with GPS for obtaining real-time location and extending MapPoint capabilities by writing add-ins. He continues by introducing the basics of programming with MapPoint Web Service. Then, the author shows you how to create applications using the Find APIs of the MapPoint Web Service, including techniques for finding places, addresses, and nearby points of interest. Next, he covers programming with the Route APIs, such as calculating routes and getting driving directions. The author then covers programming with the Render APIs available with MapPoint Web Service, including rendering maps, routes, LineDrive maps, and polygons. He continues by covering the basics of programming with Microsoft Location Server and deployment scenarios. Finally, he covers programming with the Location Server Web Service to get real-time location using mobile phones.

This most excellent book provides a jump-start for working with the preceding technologies, with in-depth discussions about the core concepts and sample code provided in C#. More importantly, this book covers the most common application development scenarios with the MapPoint platform.

The best MapPoint / Virtual Earth book for developers.......2006-06-18

OK, that's relatively easy to say since there aren't a whole lot of them. So why did I give Chandu Thota's book five stars?

Because of both what is included and what isn't:

- Breadth of coverage. The author manages to cover every single Microsoft mapping technology (of interest to the programmer), including the CD-based MapPoint 2004, the Location Server, the Web Service, and the new Virtual Earth control, and do so well.

- Concise code snippets. They are plentiful, well explained, and never longer than a page or so. All of those I tried _did_ work.

- No marketing fluff. Although Chandu Thota works for Microsoft, we don't see any of the "product brochure" type of language that maybe convinces execs but fails to impress developers.

- Focus. The author assumes that we can program, know C#, and have at least a basic grasp of maps and such things as lat/lon, and spares us lengthy introductions on these subjects.

Samples are not running .......2006-06-16

As a mapppoint developer , I spend most time to programming the function of the application. The book does give some samplese , but most of them are over complexed, and the if you read the source code , you will found that the Author , Cthota, didn't put all the dataset in the download zip file , which is a major regret.

MapPoint 101.......2006-01-30

MapPoint by Microsoft (who else) is an outstanding tool to be able to use all types of geographic/demographic data in a myriad of different ways. Before the book 'Programming MapPoint in .NET' there weren't any good resources out there on the market for learning how to use this amazing bit of code, but now that has all changed. With this text you will quickly learn the ins and outs of MapPoint, from being able to generate maps in your own application to talking to MapPoint web services to be able to output driving directions, demographic data... whatever you can think of!!!

It's quite clear that MapPoint is a tool that will be growing every day, and with the importance of up to date geographic data, it's a niche that Microsoft was smart to get into. My only "complaint" about this book is that it seems a little light in the source material (API calls, examples and such), but I don't think this is any fault of the author or the programmers. Simply MapPoint is still a fairly new tool and it will take time to document and create examples for all the cool stuff that this application can do. If you use MapPoint, you would be wise to pick up this book and read it cover to cover.

**** RECOMMENDED

The book on MapPoint.......2006-01-26

This is an excellent book on MapPoint that covers everything from architecture through advanced usage. The examples are solid, and the problems that the author chooses to solve are right on target. Not only does it give useful technical examples, it also provides inspiration for how you can use MapPoint throughout your product.

This is a solid piece of work.

Book Description

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are used to store geographical data, helping us analyze spatial data to solve real--time problems. Geographic Information Systems have evolved from client--based models residing on a single machine to distributed models sharing geographic data over the Internet. Traditionally, GISs were highly expensive and resource intensive. With the introduction of MapPoint .NET in the .NET Framework, however, the prevalence of geographic data on desktops, notebooks, mobiles, PDAs, and other smart devices is increasing. In this article, Siddharth Sharangpani leads you through an exploration of MapPoint .NET, illustrating many of the benefits it can have for you.

What happened to GIS data.......2006-03-22

I purchased this on the title of GIS support, but after the introduction, there is no mention of how to build maps from GIS data.

It is also only about the web service that Microsoft sells, nothing about MapPoint the product for the desktop. It is also very basic.

This is a reprint of an article from C# Today from 2003 - before the current 2004 version was released.

This is not a book; it is a magazine article!.......2006-02-25

I was misled by the cover of this article! It has been packaged to look like a book but it is actually a 12 page magazine article! I think that $8.00 is way too high a cost for magazine article! I believe that Amazon should not package magazine articles to look like a book so I am disappointed.

Book Description

First published in 1969 and out of print for more than twenty-five years, The Long-Legged House was award-winner Wendell Berry’s first collection of essays, the inaugural work introducing many of the central issues that have occupied him over the course of his career. Three essays at the heart of this volume—“The Rise,” “The Long-Legged House,” and “A Native Hill”—are essays of homecoming and memoir, as the writer finds his home place, his native ground, his place on earth. As he later wrote, “What I stand for is what I stand on,” and here we see him beginning the acts of rediscovery and resettling. This volume contains original contents, with only slight revisions as might be desired. It gives readers the opportunity to read the work of this remarkable cultural critic and agrarian, and to delight in the prose of one of America’s greatest stylists.
