Binding: Unknown Binding
ASIN: B0006AXGQO

Book Description

This study examines the assertion that the growth of unionism since the 1930s has been associated with an increase in the relative income share of labor. More specifically, its main purpose is to test the hypothesis that there exists a positive correlation between the growth of unionism and changes in the ration of production workers' wages to value added by manufacture.

Book Description

You will laugh (and cry a little) on your way through this thoroughly enjoyable read. Gloria's book is a compilation of mostly very funny highlights of her life - beginning at age six and capping off with a "tryst" in her eighties. The daughter of "Russian Intelligentsia" parents who emigrated from Kiev and Odessa, she grew up in Chicago with her two screwball older brothers and, after World War II, migrated to Washington, D.C. with her young husband, Herbert Liebenson. Although Gloria's voice is quintessentially American, evoking memories of Erma Bombeck, one is reminded as well, of Fanny Brice and Molly Goldberg. This is really an urban version of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn.

ASIN: 0871668548

Product Description

Learning the Classic Guitar is a new direction in guitar instruction. Many ideas in these books break new ground. In developing this innovative method, Mr. Shearer adhered to the following concepts: 1) How and what students practice is as important as how much they practice. 2) Give information only when it is immediately useful. 3) Start with the easiest skills. 4) Approach challenging skills gradually. Part one focuses on technical development and explains the most efficient approach to study and practice. Part two should go along with part one and it presents the elements of music and procedures for developing ability to sight-read and memorize. It also introduces the visualization concept. Part three teaches the student to form clear and accurate concepts of music expression. It also teaches the guitarist how to perform in public with accuracy and confidence.

Customer Reviews:

Great way to get started..........2007-06-22

One has to purchase at least Part 1 and 2 together to get the best benefit if you are a new student. I had to learn myself early on and used these books. When I could afford to start taking lessons, in Winston-Salem, I was pleased that my technique was not screwed up. Many of the musical pieces (book 2)aren't tough on the ear as you patiently work your way toward competency. Very well organized and thought out. If you are patient, you will be pleased.

Best book for the fingers and body that I've seen.........2007-02-12

I bought this book recently..I own several solo/classic guitar playing books, including Noad's, and Shearer's previous books,which are also very good, but no other book I've seen spells out the mechanics of the fingers and body placement/positioning nearly as well as this one does. I plan on getting Part 2 soon, then possibly Part 3 as well. This book should obviously be used with beginning studies and a good teacher if possible.

Loving the Classic Guitar.......2006-12-03

A well thought-out method of considerable value for the analytically-minded guitar student, or even for experienced guitarists.

There are three books in the method: Parts 1, 2, and 3.

Part 1 (shouldn't that be "Part One"?) is all about the mechanical aspects of guitar playing: How to hold the guitar, the best ways to place your hands and move your fingers, etc. (Many use the word "technique" to describe this aspect of musicianship, but I call it "mechanics." I got the idea from Vladimir Horowitz, who said that technique is something beyond mere mechanics. He said that "technique is the ability to get your point across." So, in Vlodya's world of music, it would be possible for a musician to have very inelegant mechanics, yet have a superb technique! Haven't we all heard such musicians?)

Part Two is the "workbook." It features lessons in the form of musical studies and original repertoire pieces, written in standard notation. Many of these are duets to be played with a teacher or a more advanced player. It also introduces the reader to the study of solfege.

Part Three discusses expressive playing and gives guidance on developing one's performance skills.

At the least, the three books comprise a valuable reference work for a serious guitarist or guitar student. There are other grand guitar methods in the world, of course -- Carlevaro's and Aguado's, just to name two -- but I can't think of any other that is as well-organized, as systematic (it progresses through thoughtfully designed stages), as comprehensive, and as coherent as Mr. Shearer's.

Sorry..........2006-05-16

If this book was to be used with a part 2 then why release it as an independent volume? There is no music in this book. What then is there to discuss! The Classic Guitar Technique Vol 1 stood on it's own but this book is almost worthless. Just my opinion... That's all.

Seems incomplete, too teacher-dependent.......2005-08-25

This book is not divided into lessons and Part 1 (theory) has little or no references to the exercises in Part 2. I find it impossible to use. It is useless for someone learning on his own and I would expect that even someone learning with a teacher would be too dependent upon the teacher. On the other hand, Shearer's earlier "Classic Guitar Technique" is a good choice for self study, as it does not have any of the shortcomings mentioned above. An even better choice is "Solo Guitar Playing" by Noad, the best I've seen so far.

Book Description

In a vibrant inter-disciplinary collection of essays from leading scholars in the field, Tourism, Diasporas and Space provides a unique navigation of the nature of the connections between tourism and diasporic populations and networks.
The book introduces the main features and constructs of diasporas, and explores their implications for the consumption, production, and practices of tourism. Three sets of mutually reinforcing relationships are explored: experiences of diaspora tourists, the settings and spaces of diaspora tourism, and the production of diaspora tourism. Examples are drawn from a wide spectrum of diasporic groups including the Chinese, Jewish, Southeast Asian, Croatian, Dutch, and Welsh.

Mercenary's Handbook 3055/Sourcebook (Battletech)
Donna Ippolito
Manufacturer: Fasa
ProductGroup: Book
Binding: Paperback
ASIN: 1555601847

Book Description

This book is special, because for the first time you get an easy-to-follow set of code and design standards that addresses the basic needs of .NET developers and application architects. The material is presented in a "what, why, where, and how" format, so it's easy to understand a given topic and apply the solution.

The format facilitates fast understanding and quick reference--just what you need when you're under pressure. The authors have done the research for you, and they identify and discuss common options. Where there is a choice, there is analysis to guide you.

Techniques are reusable across all versions of .NET and beyond. Pro .NET 2.0 Code and Design Standards in C# is intuitive and based on industry best practices. While it showcases the C# language, its universal style makes it suitable for all .NET development projects, whatever the language.

Pro .NET 2.0 Code and Design Standards in C#.......2006-06-16

Mark Horner takes on the ambitious project of telling us how to standardize code, design, and patterns in "Pro .NET 2.0 Code and Design Standards in C#" published by Apress. A what, where, why and how format for each topic promised the reasoning and justification for the standard practices. I had high expectations for a clear explanation of a proposed standard for designing and developing applications in C#. This book misses the mark and left me wondering what standard was being proposed.

As I read through the book, I kept wondering why the material I had just read was included in the book. For example, in a book about C# standards the author discusses Visual Basic naming conventions, and even demonstrates the use of a leading underscore for a variable name with Visual Basic code. The author makes confusing claims such as "...there is always an option to accept a .NET standard, which rules against using case sensitivity (e.g. in C# language)." The syntax of basic language structures is covered, such as an if statement, including the optional else clause.

The what, where, why and how format of each topic is followed by an acknowledgement of the practice. Apparently believing the first acknowledgement isn't enough, a List of Standards is included in the back of the book where the acknowledgements are repeated.

The purpose of the book seems to be mentioning as many topics as possible, whether or not they have anything to do with standards. For instance, the author felt the need to include the first 128 ASCII characters and parentheses in the glossary but not tell you their purpose. The entire entry for parentheses is
() Parentheses.

Compare that to the much more enlightening
` Single quote - not a comment ("//" or "/*...*/").

The weight given topics seems strange as well, with the if statement getting about the same coverage as service oriented architecture, about two pages each. Based on the title, I expected to see a standard developed. What a surprise. At the end of the day what we are left with is not a standard at all, but just acknowledgements that various things exist.

Maybe I've just had my expectations set too high by the excellent "Framework Design Guidelines" by Krzysztof Cwalina and Brad Abrams, but Horner's book is a big disappointment. Save your money.

Very Misleading Title.......2006-05-09

If you are looking for guide on how to really leverage the power of design patterns and standards using C# 2.0 this is not the book. This book is simply a vague rehash of other books and sources such as MSDN KB. In the body of the book the author even points you to the resources that he read to write this book. The author is extremely verbose, and often repeats himself using his What, Where, Why, and How descriptions.

The design patterns and standards revealed have little to do with .NET 2.0. There are 235 pages total consisting of 12 chapters. The first 9 chapters have nothing to do with .NET or C# 2.0. Chapter 8 is a brief overview of the XML commenting system in Visual Studio--like most all chapters it does not provide you with any useful information.

The first 9 chapters only concern standards and pratices in an enterprise environment. The standards presented can pertain to any environment and offer nothing specific towards the .NET way, etc.

When you finally start seeing some source code it is extremely frustrating. There is no meat to it. Every example is constructed from some abstract concept of what real-world applications are and is expressed as a console application in which each class implements a method that returns a simple string. This is the type of class structure you will be learning (seriously!):

public class SomeFactory {
public string MakeSomething() {
return "I made a widget...";
}
}

If you are an experienced developer you will find the whole thing extremely frustrating. Each pattern chapter is only a few pages in length (including source) and provides only the one abstract console app as a sample. BTW, I hope you like Model T cars because every example makes use or reference to the Model T.

If you are like me then you are looking for some real-world and practical solutions, however, there is nothing in this book of substance to offer a professional coder. The only audience I can recommend this book to would be the new C# developer that is expecting to soon be working in an enterprise/large team environment and needs to understand the very basics of what they might encounter.

Cliff notes version of other architecture books.......2006-01-26

I can't think of an audience for this book. It's a terse refresher course on a bunch of different architecture books. It feels like the Cliff notes version of the Design Patterns book smashed together with the Cliff notes of Code Complete. You really have to understand the topics before you read this book. You will not learn them here.

I can't imagine who I would recommend this book to.

A complete waste of money........2005-12-26

I got this book hoping that it would help me with my work....enforcing some new standards...and some good practices. Sparing a few chapters...this book is a total waste of money. I could have got all the stuff from the FxCop itself.
By and large...a bit too simple. Maybe if one is a starter to programming, and is into the "do it the standardized way" attitude....maybe this book "could" help....else..dont even bother.

A Cool .NET Design & Developmennt Framework Book.......2005-12-14

Yep, this is a cool book. It really offers a ".NET Design & Development framework" that covers stuff from A-Z. It covers .NET from code to architecture through the various aspects of development, design and documentation policies. It is surprising just how much territory is covered, as mentioned by other reviewers. I really like the discussion on the hard to handle aspects of .NET, like when to favor abstract classes over interfaces, or when not to use inheritance and favor containment. I also found the content on design patterns to be refreshenly presented: precise and intuitive. More seriously interesting books like these, please! ;)

Book Description

With the stroke of a pen, Theodore Roosevelt created the Grand Canyon National Monument in 1908. Without his quick action, commercial developers, already coveting this national treasure, would have invaded the canyon's floor. Not until eleven years later did Congress make it a national park, an act that provided funds for development and preservation unavailable to national monuments.

According to Hal Rothman, the designation of national monument--decided at the discretion of the president--was the saving grace for many natural and archaeologically significant sites as debates on national park designations languished in Congress. But lacking sufficient financial backing, national monuments inevitably ended up taking a back seat to the national park system in the early twentieth century.

Looking at the history of the national monuments, from the passage of the Antiquities Act of 1906--allowing for presidential designation of monuments--to the present, Rothman traces the evolution of federal preservation. He shows how laws, policies, personalities, personal and bureaucratic rivalries, and a changing cultural climate affected preservation efforts. And he illustrates how the national park system has functioned and changed over the years as public officials have tried to implement federal policy at the grassroots level.

The Antiquities Act, he contends, has been undervalued and ignored by contemporary observers and historians. In fact, he demonstrates, it is the most important piece of preservation legislation ever enacted by the U.S. government. Without it, many significant sites would have been destroyed as a result of congressional inertia and indifference.

Rothman examines the evolution of this vital legislation, originally designed to preserve archaeological sites in the Southwest but later also used to maintain other significant prehistoric, historic, and natural features. He explains how the act became less significant as New Deal financing became available for the park system in the 1930s; how expansion and reorganization of the National Park Service brought more money and status to national monuments; and how, by the 1960s, national monuments had been integrated into the modern management system for park areas. Set in the context of the regulatory century, this book offers important new insights about how the American past has been preserved and packaged for the public.

This book is part of the Development of Western Resources series.
