it is also READABLE.......2000-08-07
I've been using the net since '88 and this is the first book I've seen covering it all so very very neatly. The nitty gritty, behind the scenes and all in a very well organised, highly readable manner.
I believe even a complete beginner could learn a lot from this, although if you are a beginner you might be overwhelmed at first by the sheer volume of the whole book, you will find that you can take one relevant section at a time.
For experts, I am sure you will find something of value in every chapter, for us it is like a fascinating casual read, and may reveal things that have mystified you all these years.
Finally it is very up to date.
- TOTAL BEGINNER : good, but you might need some sort of visual guide first, or tutoring.
- BEGINNER and INTERMEDIATE : you will learn a lot from this book.
- EXPERIENCED : discover what has really been going on in the background all this time.
- EXPERT : probably do not NEED this book, probably know a lot already, but I think you will enjoy it nonetheless, and as it covers so many areas it might round you out in ways you did not expect.
- DEVELOPER : could provide inspirations, and you know what they're worth.
Now here's a secret that can be shared!.......2000-05-14
John Levine is truly an expert when it comes to understanding, navigating and fully tapping the potential of the vast empire we call the internet. His book is a plethora of information that you won't be able to find in any other book on the market today.
From what browsers do to email and the power of emailing, Web site designing, e-commerce, communicating through the internet, XML, chatting and so many other topics covered this book is the one stop reference book for everyone.
The author includes a cd with utilities for the pc and the Mac, from WS_FTP, WinZip, and Adobe Acrobat Reader, copies of the Netscape Communicator and Internet Explorer and finally Mind Spring software in case you need an ISP. You'll be investing in the future and the price is well worth it.

Indexing for Maximum Investment Results (Glenlake Business Monographs)
Albert Neuberg Manufacturer: Routledge ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 1884964508 |
Book Description
Twenty four years after investment managers decided to implement Standard & Poor's 500 indexing strategy, the verdict is in. The first indexers beat more than 99% of all actively managed stock funds. Over the last ten years, funds based on the S&P 500 out-performed more than 80% of all mutual funds. Today about $450 billion is indexed to the S&P 500, almost 10% of the total market value of all stocks traded in the US. The strategy has been applied to other asset classes, including bonds and real estate. In total, indexing now accounts for more than 25% of the investment methodology of all pension funds in the US. Topics include: choosing a benchmark; overview of the marketplace; using derivatives to index; performance track record versus active management; index methodology and other styles; and index price effects on constituent securities. Albert S. Neubert is director of the Domestic S&P Indexes Unit within the Equity Services Group.

Inspirational story comparable to "Hoosiers".......2006-02-21
Great story lost in poor writing.......2005-01-06
God, Country and Notre Dame, what a great story!.......2003-01-28
The tag line is, "You can't handle the Ruth"!
This is a very uplifting book that will keep you turning the pages and leaving you with a wonderful feeling as you do.
It's a great story that everyone should read. It's a story of true student athletes that live in non- athletic dormitories and must attend class.
Notre Dames 2nd trip to the Final Four under Coach McGraw, the first trip was in 1997 with 7 healthy players. With a healthy team for this trip, she vows that the results would be different!
Mark and Muffet did a great job of giving us a real feeling of being there for that wonderful ride to the top. This is a story about a team that comes together for one unbelievable run to the title. A point guard who is granted a 5th year, an academic All-American at center whose talent is only surpassed by her brains on and off the court , and maybe the best 3 point shooter of all time whose talent is accentuated by this team, and the daughter of a NFL linebacker who has tremendous strength and quickness. It is a story of a true team where everyone understands that team goals come first. Finally a Coach who has the vision to see this teams strengths and puts together an offense and defense to make them almost unstoppable.
Coach McGraw maximized her teams strength with the precision of a surgeon making the right adjustments at every turn and keeping this juggernaut going. What comes across in that she has a wonderful and caring relationship with her players and truly cares for them as if she was their mother.
The story on Ratay, the best 3 point shooter in America, getting ready for the UCONN game at Notre Dame is priceless.
The story finishes with Ruth Riley hitting 2 free throws to win the game as Purdues final shot falls short. It was just like Hoosiers when Ollie needed to hit 2 free throws to win the game for Hickory. Only three weeks earlier Riley missed one free throw against UCONN in the Big East Championship and vowed that it would never happen again.
Niele Ivey in her career at Notre Dame suffered through two knee surgeries and could not understand why her basketball career had seemingly gone so far of course. In Gods plan Niele was granted a fifth year of eligibility which allowed her to play for the National Championship in her town of ST. Louis, there is always a plan.
Imani Dumbar was all set to attend a small college when a very late call came from Notre Dame. If only she know what the future would hold for her. She was the ultimate team player.
I liked the story of Murphy, Muffets son going home with his dad after they arrived back with the team from St. Louis and having his dad stop the car on the way home to be sure that Grace Hall had the #1 lit up to celebrate the National Champs.
As Purdue final shot falls short, and the buzzer sounds chaos takes over and Nice girls finish first. Relive the final buzzer and Father Malloy hugging the winning Coach, this book tells a great story. When you finish reading this book you will feel the urge to sing "CHEER CHEER FOR OLD NOTRE DAME"!
A MUST for women's b-ball fans!.......2002-11-17
The team consists of hardworking over-achiever. Like most basketball players, many girls came from difficult homes and overcame obstacles to get to college, let alone play on a championship team.
So here is the story of how a college team that has always been in the background can step up to the championships. It's a story of each player and a coach with a thoroughly modern marriage who wants to gain a bigger place for her team -- and respect for women's basketball everywhere.
The book delivers basketball suspense -- but heart-warming scenes too. The team returns to South Bend after the championship game -- and the whole school is waiting to greet them in the middle of the night. And after winning a game, there's Ruth Riley, talking quietly with her mother in an empty gym. After watching a semi final on television, a male crowd from the sports bar decides to drive all night to see the finals.
I wish this book were more widely distributed. Women's basketball fans are ready! When will the movers and shakers of the book world catch on?

Classic M1 Garand: An Ongoing Legacy For Shooters And Collectors
Jim Thompson Manufacturer: Paladin Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 158160260X |
Book Description
The only full-power, semiautomatic standard infantry rifle in existence during World War II, the M1 Garand remains the most popular high-powered target semiautomatic in the world - and arguably the most rugged and durable. This sequel to The Complete M1 Garand is an up-to-date guide to admiring, shooting and collecting this World War II legacy well into the 21st century. Part One examines its tactical, developmental and industrial history; takes a realistic look at the rifle's perceived "flaws"; and presents savvy advice on buying parts and parts kits for the M1 in today's marketplace. Plus, in response to overwhelming demand, this book incorporates information detailing the M1's World War II and postwar delivery chronology, to be used as a general guideline when restoring an M1. The second half of the book, dedicated to the enjoyment and maintenance of the M1, addresses some common questions about the rifle and offers detailed instruction on some expert procedures for maintaining and smoothing this wartime classic.Customer Reviews:
Way better than most of the others..........2003-08-09
Best and the easiest to read and understand.......2002-08-03
The notes on the gun confiscation movement and local politics bring this World War II veteran rifle into modern context, and make it very obvious what the motiviations of the antigunners really are.
Scholarly without being pretentious, I found myself absorbing techniques and information without even noticing it.
And I did most of his maintenance stuff, and it all worked. With the trouble shooting information in Thompson's other book, THE COMPLETE M1 GARAND, the books have saved me thousands of dollars and lots of hours.
He goes beyond other researchers, who seem to dig up all their stuff at the armories, the factories, and from dry delivery records, and who pay no attention to the reports of veterans and actual units in the field. This makes his work very practical. He also puts holes in some of the "stand operating b.s." and lies of the past, which someone out there is surely going to find troubling, but what he says, I found out, works, makes sense, and is the truth. He has spent a lot of time getting this stuff from gunsmiths and armorers, and a lot of it I had heard previously but discarded because it wasn't in the dry books of other authors. It seems he is right on virtually every score, and much of the "official" stuff is smokescreen. My gunsmith (who built M1's during World War II, and wound up carrying one in Korea) loves the M1, and says Thompson obviously listened to "the right guys"... He also affirms Thompson's data and analysis of the gas traps and their performance, and that everything else in the book is obviously the way it really was.
Save money, trouble, aggravations.......2002-07-25
He even covers and shows fake and real and rare and common parts, the way they ACTUALLY look, instead of all fancified and restored. I had lots of trouble with other books, where the parts arrays were new or better-than-new, and didn't seem even similar to mine.
I invested, I think, %45.00 in these books. Dollarwise, I have saved maybe $2000 or more, and a lot of problems. This guy knows the gun, knows the market, knows the parts, and tells you what you need to know, in practical, plain English, not mumbo-jumbo garbage.
I got all the M1 books. This one is the easiest to use, and makes more sense than all the others together.
Classic ? Hardly...................2002-06-17
As a new M1 owner I was looking for a book full of technical information on operation and maintenance along with some history. This book is short on all of the above but very long on attitude. Mr. Thompson makes his opinions clear on everything from his local police department to the general state of world affairs. I do not dispute the validity, or factuality, of Mr. Thompsons statements. I would be more than willing to sit down and discuss them. I do not, however, enjoy spending my hard earned money on a book entitled "The Classic M1 Garand" which is overly rife with page upon page of geo-political posturing.
The book is actually pretty scant on technical data and most of the photos are too dark and unfocused to be of any real value. This book is simply too full of useless information. I had intended to purchase Mr. Thompsons previous book, The Complete M1 Garand. Since I don't believe in throwing good money after bad I think I'll pass.
I suggest that you do the same.

Comevacas y Tiznaos: Las Partidas Sediciosas en el Pepino de 1898
Carlos López Dzur Manufacturer: Outskirts Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 1598001612 |
Book Description
Comevacas y tizna(d)os reconstruye, por la vÃa de la historia documental y oral, el escenario social de una rebelión campesina ocurrida en el pueblo de San Sebastián del Pepino en 1898, misma que fue secuela directa de la Invasión Norteamericana y las consecuencias económicas originadas y agravadas or la Guerra Hispano Americana. López Dzur nos da una pintura de la influencia que dejara el movimiento anarcosindical y libertario peninsular y las injusticias y desigaldades inherentes a un régimen colonial, cuyo liderazgo local aún representa los intereses del caciquismo conservador.
