Section on regulation very disappointing.......2001-05-23

I bought this book because I recently joined the in-house legal department of a telecom company and wanted to know more about telecom regulation. I saw the book in a bookstore and, seeing that it had about 150 pages on regulation, ordered it through amazon later. Big mistake. The regulation section is a series of almost completely random articles on the subject of regulation - whatever they could get a contributor to write about, I guess. I wanted a structured intro into US telecom regulation. While there is some coverage it is not presented as a guide and there is a lot of utterly useless stuff - for an example, a discussion of the Gambian experience in deregulation (I wish I was making this up..). I had planned to read the rest of the book for general industry reference, but assuming it is of similar quality, it is hard for me to work up the energy to do so.

Useful, especially in "ideation" stage of design........1998-10-04

A general how-to-do-it book which offers a particularly good treatment of the initial brainstorming stage. See pages 52-54 for the author's great suggestions for making a mock-up of the arrangement of the site.

Book Description

In the summer of 1995, El Vez, the "Mexican Elvis," along with his backup singers and band, The Lovely Elvettes and the Memphis Mariachis, served as master of ceremony for a ground-breaking show, "Diva L.A.: A Salute to L.A.'s Latinas in the Tanda Style." The performances were remarkable not only for the talent displayed, but for their blend of linguistic, musical, and cultural traditions.

In Loca Motion, Michelle Habell-Pallán argues that performances like Diva L.A. play a vital role in shaping and understanding contemporary transnational social dynamics. Chicano/a and Latino/a popular culture, including spoken word, performance art, comedy, theater, and punk music aesthetics, is central to developing cultural forms and identities that reach across and beyond the Americas, from Mexico City to Vancouver to Berlin. Drawing on the lives and work of a diverse group of artists, Habell-Pallán explores new perspectives that defy both traditional forms of Latino cultural nationalism and the expectations of U.S. culture. The result is a sophisticated rethinking of identity politics and an invaluable lens from which to view the complex dynamics of race, class, gender, and sexuality.

Wrox's growing reputation for putting out well-organized, detail-rich books for programmers gets a boost from Excel 2000 VBA Programmer's Reference. This book--a tutorial as well as a reference--holds a wealth of chewy facts that Excel developers will find very valuable.

The tutorial, accounting for half of the book, covers the various mechanisms available for referring to particular files, sheets, cells, and ranges of cells. It also addresses the graphical representation of data--particularly in charts--and explains the most important aspects of controls and the events they generate. Green--unlike many VBA authors--covers internationalization issues in considerable depth. This is the best VBA book on the market for those planning to write programs for a multilingual usage of Excel. There is also a VBA primer that covers critical VBA syntax and the essentials of object-orientation as it applies to the Excel environment.

The two reference sections--one for Excel's VBA objects and one for the VBA Extensibility (VBE) environment--make up the last half of Excel 2000 VBA Programmer's Reference. The references are comprehensive, but they're organized in a strange way--they list properties, methods, and events with their names, return data types, and descriptions in columns. This would be okay, but when an object's list of members extends over several pages it's impossible to be immediately sure of which object the list refers to. The object name ought to appear on each page. --David Wall

Book Description

What is this book about?

Excel 2000 is an important part of the Office 2000 program suite, and will be available in the Premium, Professional, Standard and Small Business editions of Office 2000. Excel has traditionally been the Office suite spreadsheet program par excellence. It still remains that way, but with Office 2000 there is a strong emphasis on between-application automation, ease of use, and the smart new bells and whistles that 2000 brings.

Using VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the user can program his or her own programs in what is essentially a subset of the Visual Basic programming languages. This is tremendously powerful, as it allows you to create great User Interfaces (forms etc), as a front end to actual spreadsheet and database storage and manipulation. This continues to be one of the great strengths of programming Excel VBA.

What does this book cover?

This book presents a full reference to the Excel object model — which is essentially the object-oriented system of organizing the functional capacities that make up the Excel program. There is a short introduction to VBA itself, and the rest of the book documents aspects of programming Excel through that object model.

This book is in three broad sections:

The first part introduces Excel and VBA.
The second offers interesting, thematic discussions of some of the capacities available to Excel VBA.
The third and final part offers a full reference to the object model of Excel.

Who is this book for?

This book is for the Excel developer or user who already has a knowledge of spreadsheets, and the basic objects of an Excel spreadsheet, and now wants a solid and detailed reference to the main object models present in the Excel structure with examples of how to use these models.

Excellent Book for Beginners.......2007-01-05

I it gives you the right information to start, for learning is great because you don't need a lot you just need the right basics and then you can construct from there.

Very Good Resource.......2006-10-23

I have been programming with VBA for approximately 6-7 years now. This book is probably not for the beginning programmer. It does a very good job at describing the object model (at least it did for me). I have found it to be a wonder resource book and have learned several new things as I have read through it. The only reason I have given the book 4 stars instead of 5 is because I don't feel the index does an adequate job. There are things I know I have seen in the book, but have difficulting locating it again. I have yet to find a VBA book that explains everything, so I would certainly recommend adding this book to your VBA library.

A Perfect Book.......2006-03-25

I think that John Green outdid himself on this book, the people who gave it a bad review oviously have no experence with Exel, the book is the best refrence that I have ever seen. All the codes are easy to get to function, really John, you couldn't have done a better Job!
Great job Dad!!

A classic that holds up .......2006-03-03

I've owned this book since it has been published and I still keep it at my desk. This reference is a handy size and is packed full of information that applies even today. Amazing!

Needs Major Editorial Work.......2005-10-10

This book had potential, but it is so full of errors that it is practically useless. It needs a good editor with lots of patience and time to make the corrections.

Book Description

Extremism has taken root and grown the world over. These 290 alphabetically organized entries detail the notorious and often violent history, activities, and beliefs of the most active and influential extremists and extremist groups in operation around the globe. Atkins highlights the dark truth that people of all ideologies, religions, regions, and races share a readiness for violence. This will be a very useful guide to students and scholars looking for a quick and easy- to-use guide to those groups and persons whose acts have unfortunately dominated headlines over the past several decades. Well over three-quarter of the book's entries focus on extremist activity since 1980, with many entries providing historical perspectives that add a fullness of information found nowhere else. As a companion to the lauded Encyclopedia of Modern American Extremists and Extremists Groups, this work contains a wealth of information not found together anywhere else on groups and people such as English Neo-Nazis, Argentinean death squads, American ecoterrorists, Hindu xenophobes, and Japanese cults.

Book Description

Mathematical Power is a book that shows how to bring the goals of the NCTM Standards to life in a classroom on a day-to day basis. Although it is the story of one classroom, the implications go far beyond this classroom. As the teachers here struggle to examine their practices, teachers will connect with them and gain a clearer picture of what it means to teach mathematics for understanding. These teachers turn theory into actual classroom practice while addressing the complexities of:

selecting new mathematics content
planning for instruction
establishing a collaborative learning environment
helping children learn to make choices and take responsibility for their learning
meeting the academic and social needs of all children
keeping records of children's work
assessing for understanding.

Ruth Parker brings to this book an in-depth understanding of the goals of mathematics reform efforts, a belief in children as caring and powerful sense makers, and a long history of working to make schools more relevant and meaningful places for children and teachers.

AMERICA IS SOO BEHIND.......2006-06-25

THIS BOOK IS WONDERFUL. I HAVE BEEN TEACHING STUDENTS HOW TO ACTUALLY THINK ABOUT NUMBERS AND MATH RATHER THAN TEACHING STANDARD ALGORITHMS LIKE WE WERE TAUGHT. THIS BOOK WAS VERY HELPFUL AND HELPS TEACH CHILDREN TO UNDERSTAND NUMBERS AND CONSTRUCT THEIR OWN MEANING.
