This text has the best instructions for building a Tesla coil!
Interesting and enlightening .......2007-03-24
So buy this book if you are curious and want to know how to build things. Do not buy this book if you have no intention of wanting to learn how to read electrical schematics. You will need to know how to read electrical schematics if you want to build anything in this book. Other than that, It is awesome!!!!!!
Electronic Gadgets for the Evil Genius.......2007-01-18
Has alot of useful facts on topics. Parts lists are out of date. Electrical supply houses and Radio Shack have most of the parts but never enough to finish a project.
Rather incomplete........2007-01-11
It's an interesting glance-thru, but the projects are out-of-scope for most people and require buying supplies from the publisher.
Book Description
Outsourcing is no longer just a problem for factory workers. Suddenly, software writers and radiologists are easier to hire and work with in India than in Indiana. But who can fault companies for hiring competent labor wherever it's cheapest? Cost cutting is the engine of capitalism: the worst economic system in the worldexcept for all the rest! So before we go blaming "Benedict Arnold CEOs" and "greedy capitalists," consider this:
Thanks to the public education system liberals have defended for the past forty years, many high school graduates are nearly functionally illiterate. Not so in India.
Thanks to lobbyists and pro-union immigration laws, foreigners aren't allowed to stay in the country after they finish their Ph.D.s. So they're starting companies overseas instead of here.
Thanks to our liberal tax system, employers have to pay extra for American workers to fund Social Securitywhich no one believes will be solvent in a few decades.
Thanks to a legal system that favors the plaintiff, employers in the United States must worry about lawsuits over spilled hot coffee, trumped up sexual harassment charges, and other frivolous cases.
This election year, we'll hear a lot of complaining that big business is abandoning the little guy and being unpatriotic. But it's actually left-leaning politicians who have made America less competitive. Respected economist Todd G. Buchholz will recommend fixes for our education, immigration, tax, and legal systems that will make America lean and muscular againand make our labor pool the most attractive in the world.
Customer Reviews:
A wonderful read!.......2006-01-29
This is a wonderful read. Definitely invest in buying it. You won't regret it, no matter what your political convictions.
Brilliant and Humorous.......2006-01-29
I loved this book; it was funny, informative, and very well written. For those who want a quick, new, and great approach on today's economical situations.
Contrary to Close Minded Liberal's beliefs, It is great!.......2006-01-29
This is an absolutely excellent book. Even if you are a democrat, unless you are completely close minded and ignorant, you will enjoy it. Not too politically biased, the book gives the current economic challenges of outsourcing a comical spin, and puts things in perspective. I loved it, and recommend it for anyone; regardless of whether you care a great deal about the economy, it is a funny and enlightening quick-read.
Barely can be Considered Book about Outsourcing.......2006-01-17
When I picked up this book I thought it would offer me two things. I thought it would be about outsourcing and it would provide solutions to the problems. Sadly, Buchholz's book did neither. Instead, it provided many critiques from an American capitalist's point of view about society. In that regard it did a satisfactory job, although there are many popular books that did a far better job of doing it (Sowell's Basic Economics and even Stossel's Give me a Break).
The first 20 pages of the book offered hope that it'd stay on the topic of outsourcing; however even they were disappointing. There were few facts supporting free trade or details about why outsourcing can help an economy. After the first chapter Buchholz quickly veers off outsourcing and into taxes, education, tort reform and many other faults within our society. In doing this though he rarely talks about how they relate to outsourcing. This book is especially lacking in any quantitative analysis. Many of these facts are seen as given and therefore don't require support. Finally, his last chapter on our cultural exports seemed to be a socially conservative polemic that was out of place in an otherwise economically focused book. If you are looking for a book about outsourcing or an above introductory look at economic problems in the United States, I'd look elsewhere. Buchholz's book is strictly for those who haven't read alot about modern American politics and are looking for a partisan introduction to them.
The main positive about this book is it's an easy and quick read. At 179 pages you won't waste too much time on it. The author does a very good job at making the book flow. He adds many pop culture references, although they seem forced at times. Because of the very fluid writing style and his obvious intelligence, I might give his other books a chance. But hopefully they'll be a little better content wise than this one.
Why.......2005-08-26
Buchholz thinks that expensive us workers and high taxes are to blame for outsourcing, yet the real reason is greed. If company X can find cheap work in a third world country then, they'll go there.. Why pay $5, when you can pay 5 cents. Also the Bush admin thinks thinks outsoucing is a good thing. Sure outsoucing was around when Dems were in power, but it hasnt gone yet. Blame both parties.

Wild Girls Club: Tales from Below the Belt
ASIN: 0517701952
Release Date: 1997-04-01 |
Book Description
ild girl Anka Radakovich is on the road and if the sign promises sex, she'll stop. Nudist colonies, love therapists, Vegas--it's all part of the sexual underbelly of America. It isn't pretty, but with Mistress Anka as guide, it's very funny.
Customer Reviews:
Very Funny.......1998-10-16
When a book creates polarized reactions, it usually means that the status quo has been challenged, the truth has been questioned and rules have been broken. That is what Anka does. It's ironic that no one ever criticizes Dave Berry, George Carlin or Jerry Seinfeld. They are comedians making people laugh. So is Anka. She satirizes and makes jokes about the lighter side of sexual extremes. So why do people feel they have to attack her? Her book is very funny but with a cutting edge. The topic of sex and the unusual subcultures that she writes about throws people off-balance. She can touch someone's raw nerve and they take it personally. She is just trying to have fun! Must everyone be so serious? I envy your talent. Anka's skill is to mock the pretentious, to expose the vulnerable underbelly and find the hilarious poignancy of sex. What could be better?
Anka = 10+.......1998-05-12
Sexplorations is a very funny book. Just ask David Alan Greer or Conan O'Brien, they love her.
Anka is Hilarious!!!!.......1998-02-28
Anyone who is familiar with Anka's article's in Details will definetly love this book. It's filled with stories of Anka and her friends going around and partying throughout the American fornication sites. It is filled with *ANKAHUMOR* which I love and I really think u should check it out.

Anyone with a sence of humor will like this book.......1997-10-15
This book goes far beyond Anka's first book in terms of risk taking. Some will think it's funnier because she doesn't hold anything back. It will probably be considerd a humor classic. LK
Book Description
Hip-hop is the biggest youth movement in the world today, and leading the way is the new sound of the South, exemplified by platinum and multi-platinum artists like OutKast, Lil Jon and The East Side Boyz, Ludacris, Ying Yang Twins and 8Ball and MJG. This fascinating book reveals where Dirty South hip-hop came from and where it's heading. It explores the hopes, struggles, and frustrations of performers and producers, and guides you to the best in Southern hip-hop on CD and DVD, in magazines, and on the web. If you want to know where the South is taking music, you need this book. Includes foreword by Mississippi rapper David Banner.
Customer Reviews:
A necessary tool for HIP HOP studies.......2005-08-24
I am a native Texan who has been immersed in the Dirty South's hip hop culture since my humble beginnings. Rap music is still very much the language of the oppressed, and I feel that it is important for the voices that resound below the Mason Dixon line to finally be heard. At this point, WE ARE ALL screaming YEAH!!! Tamara Palmer's first book is insightful. Her interviews are on point and her language is highly decorated. Overall, it is a nice and easy read. I highly recommend it to everyone from lovers of hip hop to haters of southern rap, because it shows the beauty and brilliance of a few southern artists who are serious about their music, their money, and their message. I am positive that soon there will be many more books on southern hip hop and this is definitely a GOOD start. I must admit, I hate the book's cover because it does not represent the south and looks totally West Coast. Nevertheless, once you turn the page you will surely be taken down yonder... and you may not ever want to come back :)

Book Description
The Feminist, the Housewife, and the Soap Opera traces the history of the feminist engagement with soap opera using a wide range of sources from programme publicity to interviews with key soap opera scholars. The book reveals that feminist scholarship on soap opera was a significant site of which the identity 'feminist intellectual' was produced in dialogue with her imagined other, the soap opera watching housewife. The book integrates personal autobiographical accounts within a broader history which traces both the move from 'women's liberation' to 'Feminism', and the acceptance of soap opera as a serious object of study.

If you are coming from mainframe DB2, this is the book for you. Phil Gunning does a great job of explaining the many parameters and settings that make up DB2 UDB. Explanations are clear and straight to the point. It helped me to understand the DB2 UDB architecture and to get up to speed quick.
Good Tips from A DB2 Veteran.......2005-11-28
This book has helped my get started on monitoring and tuning my databases. Coming from Sybase, I had no idea where to start. I picked up this book and it guided me through all the monitoring setups and provided a monitoring and tuning methodology -- along with recommendations. This stays on my desk and is very handy.
One of a Kind.......2004-06-15
This book is really well organized. The section on logical and physical design was a good review for me. It reminded me how important a good design is to a successful database implementation. The SQL Tuning, Buffer pool tuning, and DB and DBM CFG tuning chapters have helped me take care of my problem databases and suboptimal SQL.
Good DB2 Tuning Book.......2004-05-13
I found this book to be very useful in tuning SQL and bufferpools. I liked the chapter on Problem determination and the utilities section. All v8 utility enhancements are provided.
Straight and to the Point.......2004-05-11
The chapters on Type-2 indexes and MDC really helped me better understand how type-2 indexes improve performance now I understand what a dimension is and how to identify good candidate dimensions. The chapter on buffer pool tuning and Sort along with the DBM and DB CFG tuning tips have helped get my boss off my back!This is a great book by a DB2 Consultant.
Book Description
It was one of the most tragic events in American history. The famous president, beloved by many, reviled by some, murdered while viewing a play at Ford's Theater in Washington. The frantic search for the perpetrators. The nation in mourning. The solemn funeral train. The conspirators brought to justice. Coming just days after the surrender of the Confederate Army at Appomattox, the assassination of Abraham Lincoln has become etched in the national consciousness like few other events. The president who had steered the nation through its bloodiest crisis is cut down just as the bloodshed ends. It is a story that has been told many times, but rarely with the care and immediacy of The Darkest Dawn. Thomas Goodrich brings to his narrative the meticulousness of the historian and the flair of the fiction writer. The result is an engrossing account, filled with detail and as present as today's headlines. A gripping account of one of the most shocking events in American! history.
". . . This book moves at high speed, is tremendously exciting and true to the core. It is a priceless observation of America in a time of horrendous challenge. Thomas Goodrich deserves high praise for his achievement." The Washington Times
Customer Reviews:
Booth assured Lincoln's place in history.......2007-08-06
He is one of the most recognisable figures in history: The tall, angular frame, the sad half smile, eyes dark, tired and sunken. The last picture of Abraham Lincoln, 16th president of the United States, and reproduced here, is that of a man whose race is almost run.
Taken four days before the prominent actor and Southern sympathiser John Wilkes Booth ended his life with a shot to the head, Lincoln seemed ill at ease, the slight blurring around the hands indicating he was unable to keep them still for the time required for the exposure to take effect.
Could he be wondering about the next four years of his presidency, the monumental task of healing the wounds of a civil war he had insisted should be fought? The conflict, in which he had thrown the overwhelming might of the United States at the rebel Confederacy to bring about a difficult and costly victory, was all but over, but as shrewd a man as he would have guessed that the peace was going to be an even more formidable adversary. Did he have the answers?
We shall never know as Booth's dramatic act at Ford's Theatre in Washington relieved Lincoln of that responsibility, leaving him simply as the leader who saved the union. Dying with Southern armies still in the field and the final acts of the war yet to take place, his administration was linked wholly with the conflict. The emotions his assassination unleashed ensured not just his place as a great American president, but his conversion into a secular saint.
As Goodrich points out in his epilogue: "In the stampede to elevate the slain president, his virtues were magnified and his vices diminished until the one became a caricature and the other all but forgotten." The cynic might add: "good career move, Abe."
The author, an historian and storyteller, who has specialised in this brief, dark period in American history, has taken the events of a few weeks of the spring and summer of 1865 and made them live again.
An act of outstanding scholarship, he has amassed hundreds of contemporary sources - biographies, eye-witness accounts, newspaper articles - to the point where he blends his own narrative with the quotations from which he draws, producing compelling descriptions that immerse the reader in the zeitgeist. His passage on the chaos that resulted from a `lying in state' in Philadelphia during Lincoln's cross-country funeral procession is typical.
"Mingled with the normal dull roar of so many thousands were the shrieks of crushed women, the shrill cries of trampled children, and the cursing and shouting of men. Silk hats, bonnets and parasols were smashed flat, dresses were ripped, hoop skirts were broken and mangled, the neatly pinned hair of ladies now fell to their waists in a disheveled mass. Ragged and tattered debris, including destroyed mourning badges and black crepe, littered the ground below."
The book is full of such rich description, including the wild and random acts of vengeance wreaked on anyone who did not show proper respect for the slain president. Any words said against Lincoln in public risked a beating or worse. Lynch law took hold. Even those whose mourning was not considered sincere enough faced the anger of the mob.
In the occupied Confederacy, civilians were forced to decorate their houses in black to honour the man they hated and reviled. Most swallowed their pride and complied, some like Mrs Stuart, hung herself rather than yield to the humiliation.
From the fall of Richmond, which signaled the end of organised resistance in the Confederacy, and Lee's surrender at Appomattox, through the assassination, its aftermath, the funeral procession, the death of Booth and the trial and execution of his associates, Goodrich opens a series of windows on those troubled, turbulent times.
For a while the victorious north, plunged from the pinnacle of joy to the depths of despair, became unhinged. As one witness recalled: "The sorrow and sadness caused...cannot be written; no pen can tell it. Only those who lived in these dreadful days can appreciate the pain we suffered."
Thanks to this book, we can appreciate a little of the anguish experienced by the bloody, war-ravaged nation as, united once more, it wearily resumed the journey towards its ultimate destiny.
One of the most informative reads on Lincoln and Booth.......2007-06-08
I enjoyed this book a great deal. The author is obviously not as much an admirer of Lincoln as I am. Other books I've read are more biased in Lincoln's favor. This author went much deeper into the history of the conspirators and others surrounding the assassination than other have done. A refreshingly unbiased account of the months before and after America's greatest tragedy.
Informative but Unkind to Mrs. Lincoln.......2007-02-16
I've read all I've found on Lincoln and yet I found new details about his death here that I had not read elsewhere. It doesn't rehearse the ins and outs of the conspiracy which is good if you've read "Blood on the Moon" and, even more so, "American Brutus". My cavil with 'Darkest Dawn" is that it portrays Booth all but sympathetically and Mrs. Lincoln as the devil herself. Mary Todd Lincoln was, without doubt, a manic-depressive who was dogged by bad health and hellish luck. She was a difficult lady who nevertheless withstood considerable slander and ridicule from both North and South. However, she was a staunch abolitionist who loved her husband dearly and was a kind and devoted mother. The author has the irritating habit of referring to her consistently as the "woman" and even finds her breakdown immediately after the assassination as reason for criticism. I guess if she hadn't, he'd be accusing her being part of the murder plot.
Darkest Dawn Review.......2007-01-09
I thought I knew a lot about the assassination of Lincoln. I was wrong. This easy to read book holds your attention as well as a novel, but is completely documented to please an academic. It provided intriguing information on the era, the people, and most notably to me, Mrs. Lincoln. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in American history.
All The Blame Should Not Be Placed On Booth Alone........2006-12-01
He was merely a player in this tragedy. Trained as an actor, he did his biggest role which changed the face of this country forever and ended his short life. John Wilkes Booth would never have killed Lincoln on his own. For some reason, by indoctrination or brain-washing by the conspirators who wanted Lincoln dead, he was used by the group and was in his own mind playing the theatrical role of his life. He was A Deluded Southern Sympathizer. He sprang from a great family of actors; his brother Edwin was an accomplished stage actor. Edwin did his deed so as to be famous in his own right. Many books have been written about John Wilkes Booth's participation in the Lincoln death.
It is sad that so much blame was put on his shoulders. I have been interested in Lincoln's assassination for over twenty years, mainly because they hanged Mary Surrat, the first woman to be officially killed in this manner. It was at her boardinghouse where the conspirators met to discuss and plan killing Lincoln and others in his Cabinet. John Wilkes Booth, from a prominent acting family, was a Confederacy sympathizer. But that in itself does not make him guilty. He was denied his right to a trial.
Most of the South were more than a little upset when Lincoln was inaugurated for the second time. They refused to accept him as "our" President. We had Jefferson Davis who married Zachary Taylor's daughter. I have read so much about Lincoln and also sympathized with Booth's reasoning. Lincoln, as it so happens, was a Shakespeare fan and enjoyed going to Ford's Theatre. John Wilkes Booth (Brutus) was one of the most promising young Shakespearean actors of his day. Booth considered Lincoln an "American Caesar." John Wilkes Booth is sometimes called the "American Brutus." There is a book out with that title, also one called The Myth of John Wilkes Booth.
He was a very handsome man and, even though he broke his leg in the leap to the stage (instead of running down the back stairs), he eluded capture with the help of a Dr. Mudd for twelve days. He was not given a chance to tell his side and the complex, misleading reasons he did what he did. That took fortitude! He did not act alone! That's a major issue. He was cornered in that barn like an animal and burned (at the stake) by the vigilante cowards. He was merely a misinformed player who ended up "on his own" after the dasdardly deed. He deserves better than to be called a devil. To some, he was an avenging angel. Terry Weber played the dual role in the Knoxville production of "Killing Lincoln," and had both Lincoln and Booth down pat. I have read many books about Abraham Lincoln and several about John Wilkes Booth which I have reviewed for Amazon.com
