This book was actually used as a textbook for our career strategies class in college. Unlike most college textbooks, this book is very reader-friendly, and gets straight to the heart of the matter - getting you the job you want. Covering all essentials of job searching, resume writing, interviewing, and more, the author has provided a clear and simple road map to the layman. If you follow the guidelines this book teaches, I personally promise you the position you wish is in reach - now!

A little too quick for me.......1999-03-27

My job search wasn't enhanced by this book. I felt that it didn't focus enough on choosing the right career and the right job like Vaultreports.com. Thus, it didn't help me a great deal in choosing what to pursue.

Book Description

From the moment they open Advanced AC Electronics: Principles and Applications, readers will become actively involved in learning how to apply AC circuit techniques to electronics circuits that are interesting and actually do something useful! Rather than presenting AC electronics as a series of seemingly magical rules and incantations, this book integrates AC circuit theory tools with electronics, interweaves topics as needed, and introduces the use of circuit analysis tools on a just-in-time basis to support development of electronics circuits. It engages readers in applying circuit theory to a wide variety of passive and active electronics that respond to a sinusoidal signal with both a change in magnitude and a shift in the sine wave's phase. Immediately upon introduction, each technique is applied to a host of examples, including: commercial electrical power production and distribution, industrial motor performance and control, audio systems, instrumentation, radio frequency, and communications circuits. Motors, rf and audio cables, loudspeakers, thyristors, transition and op amp amplifiers are also introduced early on, capturing attention while guiding readers in their examination of real-world responses to sinusoids. Level and rigor make Advanced AC Electronics an ideal choice for programs accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET).

Picking up where the first volume left off, Guralnick sees Elvis through his tour of duty with the U.S. Army in Germany, where he first met--and was captivated by--a 14-year-old girl named Priscilla Beaulieu. We may think we know the story from this point: the return to America, the near-decade of B-movies, eventual marriage to Priscilla, a brief flash of glory with the '68 comeback, and the surrealism of "fat Elvis" decked out in bejeweled white jumpsuits, culminating in a bathroom death scene. And while that summary isn't exactly false, Guralnick's account shows how little perspective we've had on Elvis's life until now, how a gross caricature of the final years has come to stand for the life itself. He treats every aspect of Presley's life--including forays into spiritual mysticism and the growing dependency on prescription drugs--with dignity and critical distance. More importantly, Careless Love continues to show that Guralnick "gets" what Presley was trying to do as an artist: "I see him in the same way that I think he saw himself from the start," the introduction states, "as someone whose ambition it was to encompass every strand of the American musical tradition." From rock to blues to country to gospel, Guralnick discusses how, at his finest moments, Elvis was able to fulfill that dream. --Ron Hogan

Book Description

Until Peter Guralnick came out with Last Train to Memphis in 1994, most biographies of Elvis Presley--especially those written by people with varying degrees of access to his "inner circle"--were filled with starstruck adulation, and those that weren't in awe of their subject invariably went out of their way to take potshots at the rock roll pioneer (with Albert Goldman's 1981 Elvis reaching now-legendary levels of bile and condescension). Guralnick's exploration of Elvis's childhood and rise to fame was notable for its factual rigorousness and its intimate appreciation of Presley's musical agenda.Picking up where the first volume left off, Guralnick sees Elvis through his tour of duty with the U.S. Army in Germany, where he first met--and was captivated by--a 14-year-old girl named Priscilla Beaulieu. We may think we know the story from this point: the return to America, the near-decade of B-movies, eventual marriage to Priscilla, a brief flash of glory with the '68 comeback, and the surrealism of "fat Elvis" decked out in bejeweled white jumpsuits, culminating in a bathroom death scene.

Customer Reviews:

Wow! What a book on the greatest musical artist of modern times.......2007-09-30

I just finished reading this book and am amazed at the insights into Elvis' life that the author showed. He covered a lot of things that have been covered ad nauseum by others yet made it read like a novel. And, he adds so much more detail to the day-to-day life of Elvis that provide a much fuller description of his life. Even the footnotes are fascinating reading.
For a true Elvis fan, this is a must have for your collection. I could hardly put it down and this is not trivial reading, given that the book is more than 700 pages. Mr. Guralinick's 1st book on Elvis ("Last Train to Memphis: the Rise of Elvis Presley") is a must read also.

And I wasn't even interested in the King - until now.......2007-08-31

Elvis had always been a cliché to me. "The King" - yeah, yeah, that old fat guy that tabloids claim to still be alive (Impressionists going, "Thank you, Momma baby..."). To me The Beatles and The Beach Boys were rock and roll . . .

But the anniversary of his death inspired me to pick up this book. I wasn't really interested in early Elvis; I wanted to know about the 1960s and 70s Elvis - the one who was on t.v., the one who bought cars for strangers, the one who created Graceland. 50s Elvis was "cool", but later Elvis was "weird."

I knew that Peter Guralnick's Last Train to Memphis: The Rise of Elvis Presley was well-regarded, so I took a chance on this, the book that that just happened to overlap the years I wanted to know about. I figured I'd skim and skip about. WRONG! I could not put this book down, and now I am listening to Elvis's music and watching his movies.

"Careless Love" covers the late 50s (Elvis in the Army) up to his death in 1977. And it is definitive. The activities of practically each day are spelled out. Guralnick's research is top notch. He has used video and audio recordings, memoirs (extracts from Priscilla's autobiography are particularly effective), and interviews with those who were there to give us not just the facts, but genuine insight into the man. We see how the demands of performing drove him to stimulants, which then required downers to get him back to normal, and the vicious circle that began.

The surprises never stop coming: Colonel Tom Parker's amazing background - as an illegal immigrant, the origin of the jumpsuit look, Elvis the Pelvis was surprisingly not that sexual . . .

If you grew up watching him this book will show you what was happening behind the scenes. But if to you he's just a guy on a stamp that your mother talks about, there is no better introduction to a man who shaped music (despite the Beatles and the Stones). "Careless Love" addresses all the music (re-creations of recording sessions let you in on the creative process), love-life (hello Ann-Margaret, hello Priscilla), and behavioral (what he liked to eat and when) points you want to read about without ever being trashy or exploitive. Indeed, the book is almost scholarly. It's book about The King that you can read in public without feeling like you're a tabloid hound (dog).

THE GREATEST ON THE GREATEST.......2007-05-14

Following straight on from 'Last Train To Memphis', Guralnick's exhaustive account of Elvis Presley's life is a benchmark of biography. With its hundreds of pages, it may look like it's going to be a long haul. But in truth, it's a quick read because the author expertly places you right alongside Elvis and his fellow travellers. Guralnick is the definitive Elvis author.

CAELESS LOVE.......2007-05-11

A REALLY GOOD LOOK AT ELVIS'S LIFE. WELL WRITTEN AND EASY TO READ. I WOULD RECOMMEND READING "LAST TRAIN TO MEMPHIS" BY THE SAME AUTHOR BEFORE THIS BOOK. THE TWO GO TOGETHER, AND TELL THE STORY FROM START TO FINISH.

a great elvis story.......2007-03-09

A terrific story from beging to end...you sense you are there with the real elvis...a bit hard at first to get to grip with all the people in elvis's life but a well worth read...bring on the second book...

Business and Pleasure at the New Yorker.......2001-05-26

This book offers a wealth of information on the first five years of the New Yorker and charts its influence on both American culture and the magazine industry. While it has its share of funny stories and great cartoons, the book casts considerable doubt on the enduring image of the early New Yorker as the haphazard product of madcap editors and loony writers. Professor Lee shows how Harold Ross's savvy "tinkering" made the magazine appealing to the particular audience he was aiming for, an audience wealthy and sophisticated enough--or aspiring to be wealthy and sophisticated enough-to draw the upscale advertising he did indeed attract. Basing her history on the contents of complete issues of the magazine rather than merely on the writing of its most famous authors, she addresses the interplay of stories, reviews, essays, pictures, and advertising over time. Her meticulous research is conveyed in a clear and engaging style that recreates for the reader some of the experience an early subscriber might have enjoyed in reading the New Yorker.

Very Very Good Book I Ever Have!.......2003-01-06

This encyclopedia is very recommended to every WWII enthusiasts. It provides us with detail information and supporting pictures. The detail helps me a lot to create dioramas of the WWII theatre. Many dioramas I made are based on the reference of this book. I do hope there is another book like this to help many WWII enthusiats in the world to have a good reference.

Sympathetic.......2002-03-19

upon reading certain passages in this reference manual, most memorably the article on the concentration/death camp at Auschwitz, i was appalled and disgusted. while consistently refusing to refer to the National Socialists by their true moniker, NAZI, the book continuously UNDERCUTS the horror and mass murder committed against humanity by the Nazi regime. understandably, this book is intended to inform, and must take a neutral stance. However, this book fails to convey the true nature of the horrors committed against humanity, and provides a voice that is almost SYMPATHETIC to the Third Reich. in one article it says how most of the jewish prisoners in the camps died of "poor hygenic practices" and disease, while "some" of the deaths, "SOME" mind you, could be attributed to executions. MOST of the deaths can be attributed to merciless murder and slaughter of human beings as waste. do not purchase or consult this book. it is a horror that it is even in print, and that Da Capo would even translate it into english. while extensively informative, this book makes one cognizant of a perpetual nausea while reading. do not buy this book.

From A to Z!.......2000-04-29

Very informative and filled with historical photos along with fascinating articles from the Third Reich. Some minor areas could use more detail, but the over all look is excellent. Truly the "...definitive reference source..." on the Third Reich.

This book is a must for students and historians of World War II.

Somewhat superficial, but very informative........1999-02-19

Somewhat superficial but very informative

Terribly concise and all-encompasing.......1998-11-11

While certain subjects contain more elaboration than others, the overall picture is 100% complete. If it is in anyway connected to the Third Reich (and in many cases the Reichs prior), it is in here.

Book Description

The Encyclopedia of the Third Reich covers all the important people (both Nazis and members of the Resistance), military operations, concepts and organizations of the era, and includes information on those regarded as influential to the Nazi ideology or who influenced Hitler personally, such as Karl Lueger. The book also includes a detailed chronology of the Third Reich, starting with the birth of Adolf Hitler and ending the with executions at Nuremberg 1946.

Customer Reviews:

Excellent book, even if out of date.......2003-12-22

This is an informative resource of Nazi Germany. Many people who wouldn't normally be included in such encyclopedias are here, such as Lieut.-General Walther Wever and Goering's first wife. It also includes philosophers who lived before the formation of the Nazi party that influenced the Nazi ideology including Paul Anton de Legarde and Joseph Arthur Comte de Gobineau.

Yet another fascinating aspect of the book is that includes many victims of the Nazi regime, such as Walter Gempp, the chief of the Fire Brigade of Berlin.

Overall, the variety and detail of this book is stunning, and I would recommend it for any student of World War II or Third Reich history.

Invaluable reference book to Hitler's Third Reich.......2003-03-11

Anyone interested in Nazi Germany and want to be well-armed in knowledge of that era can look no further than Louis L. Snyder's Encyclopedia of the Third Reich. Major entries are very detailed. Most of them are two to three pages, such as Goebbels, Goering, Hess and the Hess flight together, the July Plot, and the Katyn Massacre. Hitler himself takes up ten full pages, if that's any indication of the detail of the entries. Considering how the book is 388 pages minus bibliography and the number of entries, that isn't too bad.

Apart from Hitler and friends, there are also events and people of the Weimar Republic, such as Paul von Hindenburg, who named Hitler chancellor, as well as Hitler's predecessors, such as Heinrich Bruning, Franz von Papen, and Kurt von Schleicher. After all, Weimar's downfall caused Hitler's rise.

There are also organizational charts throughout, such as the Hierarchy of the NSDAP and the ranks in the Third Reich. This latter entry lists the army ranks of the German Army, and the equivalent ranking in the SS, NSDAP, German Police, and United States Army. For example, a general in the German Army has a rank equal to an SS-Obergruppenfuehrer, a NSDAP Gauleiter, the General der Polizei in the German Police, and a General in the US Army. Tables are also included, such as the list of Gaus (districts) under the third reich and the Gauleiter in charge.

Key conferences and attendees include the Rastenburg Conference, where Hitler and his military advisors were on 20 July 1944, which is the day of the bomb plot, and the Wannsee Conference, where Reinhard Heydrich chaired a meeting detailing the Endlosung or Final Solution.

Many entries are concepts in the original German. So for the entry Night and Fog Decree, it will say See Nacht- Und Nebel Erlass, where the data will be.

Acronyms usual have See the full name. E.g. NSAG. See Nationalsozialistische Arbeitgemeinschaft. Looking up that entry, one will find it's English for National Socialist Working Association. Damn, those Nazis really liked long words, didn't they?

Trial results include that of the Frankfurt Trial, for the chief SS officers at Auschwitz, the Doctor's Trial, for those doctors who experimented on prisoners of war, and of course, the Nuremberg Trials. Each has the defendant, DOB or age, position, verdict and punishment.

As for actual documents, there are Hitler's Last Will and Political Testament. There are also general essays on art, architecture, film and theatre (especially Triumph Of The Will, which has an entry all its own), music, and education. Other things of interest: the lyrics and translation of the Horst Wessel anthem and "Lili Marlene."

At the beginning, there is a chronology of key dates in history, with the exact day. Under 1933, there is an entry January 30. Appointment of Hitler as Chancellor.

I have the 1989 edition, so Albert Speer and Rudolf Hess had died, but according to the book, they are still alive. Why the lack of corrections, especially when the discovery of bones in Brazil in 1985 presumably of Josef Mengele, is listed in the entry for Josef Mengele? Still, a minor quibble in this extremely invaluable reference work on a very infamous period in history.

Any student of the Third Reich will have a definite advantage over others with this book.

Could have been better..........2002-07-15

This book serves as a good tool for quick reference, but falls short when it comes to details. Due to the great number of subjects and people covered in this mini "encyclopedia", the descriptions are superficial and lacking in depth.
I also found that quite a few important figures of the time were missing, whereas less important ones were abundant.
The book, if done properly, would have been at least twice its current size and a far more accurate tool of reference. Still, good intentions, right?

Comprehensive Work.......2000-12-31

This book covers most of the important people, events and ideas behind the Third Reich. As with any good encylopedia, it is fairly comprehensive. Most listings are easy to find, although Snyder refers to German names more often than English ones. I found one minor fault with this book, at least in the 1993 edition. Snyder frequently lists dead people as still living. In a few cases, individuals may have passed since publication, but not usually. Albert Speer, for instance, is listed as still living, even though he died in 1981! I know this is true of many others ( some were born in the 19th century). But this is a small flaw in an otherwise fine book.
