Chock full of useful info.......2003-01-02
Transitions Abroad magazine has seemingly always been the go-to resource for students, volunteers, and working travelers itching to get up and go. This book is a great resource for doing so in an informed and successful manner. No organization does a better job at compiling the best resources and they've tapped several experts from their stable of writers to give the low-down on specific areas.
While English teachers may require a more focused guide, the book does provide a good overview and plenty of relevant web sites to explore for more information in that area. For anyone wishing to travel and make a living at the same time, the purchase of this book is money very well spent. After all, if you land a job after using the guide, it'll pay for itself on day one.

Found a job in a week........2002-09-22
Thanks to this book and despite me having no teaching experience or certification, I found a job within a week. This book is concise and contains many links to websites I could not find on my own. The job I received is in Mexico and they are paying for my plane tickets and rent when I get there, along with a nice salary. I am very pleased. If you want a job then I would suggest you look here first.
An ideal and instructive reference.......2001-03-11

Book Description
They Called it Golf Because Flog Was Already Taken takes an affectionate look at the game we love to hate, offering practical advice and humorous reflections for everyone in love with this grueling sport.
The practical advice comes from golf professional Frank Fenton. He helps you choose the right equipment and clarifies commonly misunderstood concepts such as kick point, torque, stiffness, and balance point to help you improve your game. His revealing anecdotes also recall the array of personalities he has encountered in his twenty-seven years in the golf businesslegends such as Ben Hogan, Lee Trevino, Payne Stewart, and Gene Sarazen.
The funny stuff comes from humor columnist David Grimes. You know he's on the ball when he reminds us not to "putt" rules before golfing fun. Sure golfers have to deal with unspeakable hardships like the laws of physics, but you'll learn to take in your stride a few bad slices, lost nassaus, spouse phone calls when you are three under par with only four to playeven the odd bobcat, wild turkey, or alligator out there on the course. You'll even learn which Elvis tunes to stay away from if (like the Thai prime minister) you like to sing to focus on your game.

Started playing flute again after an absence of 8 years - this is a must-have reference!!
it was great.......2006-03-24
i hadn't played the flute in a long time and so i got this and it was great it told me everything i forgot!!
Easy to read Chart.......2005-11-26
I purchased this chart to go along with my flute. It's well laid out with a full picture of a flute and all keys marked. The chart part indicates all notes and appropriate fingering of keys.
As a beginner, I find this easy to read and understand and would recommend it to other beginners especially.
Good book........2004-05-26
This is laminated, so it'll last a long time. It has all of the fingerings that you'll need. Not much else to say. Exactly what it says it is-fingering chart, nothing more or less. Good for the money.

Unsettling Sensation: Arts-Policy Lessons from the Brooklyn Museum Art Controversy (The Public Life of the Arts Series)
ASIN: 1595580506 |
Book Description
A bestselling art historian and a free speech advocate explore subtle new forms of censorship in the art world and beyond.
"In private, museum people have told me that self-censorship is indeed the order of the day. But it is quite rare for an official to speak about it in public. Self-censorship occurs behind closed doors. There are practically no whistle-blowers."Hans Haacke, conceptual artist known for his socially and politically engaged art
If your idea of censorship is an anonymous bureaucrat in a government office exercising prudish control over "offensive" art and speech, wake up and smell the conglomeration. Censorship today is just as likely to be the result of a market force or a bandwidth monopoly as a line edit or the covering of a nude sculpture, and the current system of new technologies and economic arrangements has subtle, built-in mechanisms for suppressing free expression as powerful as any known in other centuries.
In Censoring Culture, the nationally known author of the ArtSpeak books and the head of the National Coalition Against Censorship's Arts Program bring together the latest thinking from art historians, cultural theorists, legal scholars, and psychoanalysts, as well as first-person accounts by artists and advocates, to give us a comprehensive understanding of censorship in a new century.
Contributors include:
J.M. Coetzee, Judy Blume, and others on self-censorship
Hans Haacke on the marriage of art and money
DeeDee Halleck on the military-media-industrial complex
Marjorie Heins on violence and children
Randall Kennedy on the risks of regulating hate speech
Lawrence Lessig on creativity and copyright in the electronic age
Judith Levine on shielding children from sex
Diane Ravitch on sensitivity guidelines for national testing
Douglas Thomas on hackers and hacking culture
Customer Reviews:
Kudos to Atkins & Mintcheva.......2006-05-10
Kudos to Atkins & Mintcheva, the co-editors of Censoring Culture for not beginning their discussion with a list of which freedoms we're supposed to give up in order to ensure our safety in the post 9/11 era. In fact, they assert the opposite: that we need to broaden our thinking about the nature of censorship beyond merely the statutory (that is actions of the law), to include the forces--economic and technological, tostart with--that silence voices and inhibit expression, including the internal/psychic workings of self-censorship. (Thus by their definition we should also be looking at what might inhibit the creation of work, when the fears of the writer about the commercial potential of a work stopped him from even writing it.) The framework they've created allows for provocative, even jaw-dropping material, by experts from the fields of law, psychoanalysis, media, new technology, the arts and education--in the last, don't miss Diane Ravich's revelation of what isn't allowed on standardized tests at schools these days. (No wonder we're a nation of the dumbed down, allowing our children to read Huck Finn today with the N word crossed out! ) How bad are things? Read this and weep, but by all means read it. Then go out and run for public office.

Excellent Representation of Complex Thoery with real world examples.......2006-12-29
Capacity and Performance management is a very complex subject. I have read a couple of books. Most of them had dry theory without supporting examples. In some cases, I abruptly stopped reading. These type of books may be good to people who are quite fresh from the academic world. Having worked for sometime, one would desire a book with simple but strong fundamentals and more of relating examples.
This book stood out to my quest. The pace of the coverage was gradual from Gear 1 to Overdrive. Every ounce of theory was supported with examples. Normally I would skip theory and look for examples. But here I enjoyed reading theory. Well Written!
The Case Studies were real world examples. I gained a lot reading this book. Would recommend this book for Technology professionals who want to switch to Capacity and Performance Management.
I would definitely want Mr Menasce and his team to write books on the same topic to address real world end-to-end and new challenges like Petri Nets, Technology Consolidation, Data Warehousing, GRID, Utility Computing, Virtualisation etc. This should definitely help the Technology Community at large.
Factoring performance into the development lifecycle.......2004-02-12
"Performance by Design" provides both a conceptual and a practical framework for experienced software developers that want to get started building quality applications using performance engineering techniques.
Performance engineering is a discipline that attempts to integrate concerns about the responsiveness of computer applications and their capacity requirements into standard application development practices, which otherwise focus almost exclusively on meeting functional requirements. Just like not getting the functional spec right in the early stages of the application development lifecycle can lead to a cascading series of design and implementation decisions that are difficult to reverse in later stages of the development process, neglecting performance considerations until after the applications has met its functional requirements is often too late to tackle them effectively.
The first part of the book surveys a wide range of performance modeling and capacity planning techniques, served up in clear, concise language with a minimum of mathematics. It is a gentle introduction to analytic queuing networks written at the level that any advanced undergraduate Computer Science student ought to be able to master. The heart of the book, representing Chapters 5 through 9, is a series of Case Studies that rounds out and concludes Part 1. Each of the case studies deftly illustrates another analytic technique that a performance engineer needs to understand how to apply. Chapter 5, for instance, steps through descriptive statistics and cluster analysis as it discusses what is involved in deriving model parameters for a simple database transaction workload. Chapter 6 builds upon this discussion by solving a simple multi-class model, delving into confidence limits and the use of a factorial design to limit the number of trials of a benchmark experiment. Finally, Chapter 9 illustrates using software performance engineering techniques to model a new application during its initial development phases, beginning with the database design.
The first half of the book is designed to stand alone if the Reader doesn't have the stomach for the rigorous mathematical treatment of analytic queuing models that characterizes Part 2. The second half of the book should be familiar territory to readers of Menasce's other books on performance modeling, beginning with Markov chains and proceeding through Mean Value Analysis. The final two chapters describe approaches to modeling serialization delays and servers that have load-dependent performance characteristics, two topics that are essential to accurate models of application-level performance.
The great challenge of the performance engineering approach is how to persuade experienced applications developers to adopt these techniques. "Performance by Design" is aimed at getting software developers to pay closer attention to performance concerns throughout the application development life cycle. Compared to other books on the subject, this may be the best attempt yet to promote the practice of performance engineering as a discipline that deserves to be integrated into the wider context of application development.
Outstanding introductory book to a complex topic.......2004-01-30
This team of authors has produced yet another invaluable book for practitioners who perform capacity and performance planning, as well as students who are introduced to this topic for the first time. Unlike earlier works by the authors, which addressed performance in specific systems environments such as client/server, e-business and web services, this book is more general. Therein lies the true value - it teaches the fundamentals and will not be soon outdated.
The book is structured into two parts - Part I consists of four chapters that lay the foundation. Chapter 1 covers system life cycles, Chapter 2 moves the reader from systems to descriptive models of the systems, and Chapters 3 and 4 delve into the essence of performance - quantifying performance models and giving a performance engineering methodology. This material is reinforced with five chapters, each of which is a case study of a specific performance problem. These include database services, web servers, data center, e-business services and help-desk services.
Part II, The Theory of Performance Engineering, addresses the underlying knowledge that performance and capacity planners will need in order to approach their tasks using true quantitative methods. The six chapters in this part of the book cover the following topics in detail, and are clearly and succinctly written: Markov models, single queue systems, single class MVA (Mean Value Analysis), queuing models with multiple classes, queuing models with load dependent devices, and non product-form queuing models. Armed with a knowledge of these fundamentals you should be able to tackle complex performance and capacity problems, both in the software engineering domain when a system is being designed, and in the operational support domain when service level management and availability are the goals. In addition to the way the authors step you through complex math in a clear, easy-to-understand manner, this material is augmented by Microsoft Excel workbooks that bring the material to life. Nearly every chapter has associated workbooks and spreadsheets that can be downloaded from the web site that supports this book, adding considerably to the value of the material.
If you are new to performance planning as a discipline this should be the first book you read on the subject. If you teach performance planning, this is an ideal text around which you can base a curriculum that will prepare your students for real world challenges.

A great Historical.......2001-03-27
This book takes you back to simpler more romantic time period. It tells of the Town of Gosport and it's history from start to finish. The author was there so he speaks from a unique point of view. It is raw and unrefined. The author was a fisherman and cook, not a book author trying to write about something he knew nothing about. John W. Downs lived the life of a "shoaler". This is an excellent review of days gone by and has loads of little know facts about the NH seacoast area. A great read!!
