Manual for IT Executives.......2007-09-17
I truly appreciate the straight-forward approach this book offers. Although this book does cover what a lot of us already do know, it is a great reminder of what we should be practicing. This book is a must have in any IT executives library.
Read This Book ...It Is Excellent!.......2007-05-20
As someone who has been a CIO four times, served as an interim CIO too many time to count, wrote "CIO Wisdom" and will be coming out with "CIO Perspectives", I would like to fully endorse "CIO Best Practices". Somewhere in the book it states "all CIOs live in a competitive world and excellent customer relationship management has become a competitive advantage" This book accomplished "excellent customer relationship management" by always keeping the reader in mind. It is well written, and contains depth that could only be written by CIOs.
Want to be an exceptional CIO?.......2007-05-17
This book demonstrates the special knowledge and unique skills required to succeed as an exceptional best practices CIO. It gives the rationale for the enterprise-wide scope of that position, and lays out the recommended practices and concepts as well as case studies and practical examples of the application of these ideas, testifying to the rich experience and insight of its IT executive authors. "CIO Best Practices" is a useful reference and guide for both newly appointed and experience CIOs, as well as to aspiring CIOs. It is among the top group of recommended readings for all senior executives.
CIO Best Practices.......2007-03-15
The title accurately reflects the contents of the book. There is a definite emphasis on the practical aspects of the CIO. This work is a good read both for the budding IT professional who is setting his/her sights on the CIO role or for the CEO, COO, CFO, who needs to better understand the critical role the CIO can and should play in an organization. The CIO's whose work is included in the book are a who's who of practicing CIO's. One would do well to read, and heed, what they have to say.

The Complete Gary Hill.......2002-08-30
This is the most incredible book I have ever seen. It has images and descriptions of virtually every installation, video tape, and performance Gary Hill has ever done. The details are great. For each installation there is a description of the installation, a description of the materials involved, the number of editions and who bought them, a list of literature about the piece, and it's exhibition history. Plus one or more pictures for almost all of the pieces. There is similar information for the tapes and performances.
To top it all off there are also several essays about Gary and his work plus additional photos from a large exhibition in Wolfsburg Germany, where the catalog was compiled.
If you want a book about Gary Hill, this is THE book to get.

hard-hitting, balanced account of elephant custody battle.......1999-05-02
In At Large, Gary Ross presents a straight-forward account of an aging circus man who sells two elephants he has raised from babyhood, then repossesses them when the new owners fail to make their payments and the "girls" show signs of abuse. Ross pulls no punches in this amazing true story of how the nearly penniless Murray Hill manages to hide two elephants from the authorities and the furious buyers for five years. This book is very readable; in fact, it's hard to put down. It is evident that the author is determined to present an unbiased report, allowing the facts of the story to create a powerful effect on the reader. A good journalist, Ross does not force conclusions upon the reader, but presents the circumstances and charactors in a bluntly colorful and often humourous way. The beauty and grace of the elephants above all come out. But the tangled court battle for possession of these innocent creatures casts a substantial shadow of doubt and distrust on the American justice system.
Book Description
Generally regarded as the most important of the Civil War campaigns conducted in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, that of 1864 lasted more than four months and claimed more than 25,000 casualties. The armies of Philip H. Sheridan and Jubal A. Early contended for immense stakes. Beyond the agricultural bounty and the boost in morale to be gained with a victory, events in the Valley would affect Abraham Lincoln's chances for reelection in the November 1864 presidential canvass.
The eleven essays in this volume reexamine common assumptions about the campaign, its major figures, and its significance. Taking advantage of the most recent scholarship and a wide range of primary sources, contributors examine strategy and tactics, the performances of key commanders on each side, the campaign's political repercussions, and the experiences of civilians caught in the path of the armies. The authors do not always agree with one another, but, taken together, their essays highlight important connections between the home front and the battlefield, as well as ways in which military affairs, civilian experiences, and politics played off one another during the campaign.

Nice collection of essays on the 1864 Shenandoah Valley battles.......2007-04-22
This is an interesting collection of essays on the Shenandoah Campaign of 1864. Gary Gallagher has pulled together a set of essays that, even if they sometimes contend with one another, helps the reader get a better understanding of the 1864 conflict.
The dramatic personae in this action include Lee's "bad old boy," Jubal Early, the combative but capable Confederate commander, versus Phil Sheridan, the hyperactive cavalry commander given charge of the Union forces in the Valley. Key players on the Union side: John Crook, leader of the "Army of West Virginia," William Emory of Sheridan's army, the cavalry (Torbert as head, with Merritt and Custer, and Devin as key subordinates). On the Confederate side: infantry commanders such as Gordon, Rodes and Ramseur and cavalry leaders Lomax, Munford, and Rosser. There was a lot of talent on each side, but Early's army was heavily outnumbered (maybe 40,000 troops under Sheridan and 14,000 or so under Early). Such numbers presaged an almost inevitable defeat of Early, with as combative a Union general as Sheridan on the other side (it can safely be said that prior Valley commanders such as Patterson, Hunter, Sigel, and so on may well have wasted such an advantage; Sheridan, despite his flaws as a combat commander, was unlikely to lose under such conditions).
What is nice about this volume is that the authors of the individuals chapters try to assess what actually happened and how good (or bad) commanders actually were, rather than repeating commonly understood judgments. What about the "Woodstock Races" after the Confederate cavalry's disastrous defeat at Tom's Brook? Confederate ineptitude? Or Union overwhelming force? What about Early versus Sheridan as commander of an army? Gallagher's chapter addresses this in a sensitive manner.
At Cedar Creek, what happened? Did Early's so-called "fatal halt" lose the day? Or were the Confederates so outnumbered and outgunned that--aside from total incompetence in Union leadership--they simply could not triumph? Another essay explores the generalship of the 6th Corps commander, Horatio Wright. The conclusions is that he did a good job as commander after the surprise attack while Sheridan was absent and may not have received the credit due him. Still, his performance in other venues in the Civil War was uneven. Here, however, he probably deserves good grades.
And so on. The essays in this volume provoke some thinking about the Valley Campaign of 1864. This is a good work to look at. The chapters are somewhat uneven (as to be expected from an edited volume), but--all in all--this is a useful examination of the subject.
Great Essays on the 1864 Confederate Collapse in the Valley: Early v. Sheridan .......2006-11-06
Another one of Gallagher's collection of great essays of a campaign while touting the greatest historians on the subject. The authors in this case cover the 1864 Valley situation from Early's arrival to save Lynchburg to his run at Washington to Sheridan's final mobilizing drive that is momentarily derailed by Early's great shock attack at Cedar Creek that crushes the unprepared Federals. But of course, the Union's regrouping at Cedar and counter attack virtually destroys Early's army. The essays cover the key battles and strategies including the make up of Early, Sheridan and a respectful view of the not so flamboyant and thus unappreciated General Horatio Wright who held things together at Cedar Creek when Sheridan arrived on the field. The latter part of the book also includes the social effect the war had on its population particularly as the means to feed the Confederate war machine was destroyed as part of the grand union strategy. Early and the Confederate Army no doubt fought heroically enough to challenge the record of Stonewall; however, they were literally overwhelmed by numbers and better horses and equipment. Of course, once confident, Sheridan keeps the pressure on with his young lions, Custer, Merritt and Torbet. A grand example of that is Robert E. L. Krick's essay on the battle of Tom Brook between the Confederate and Union cavalry that is extremely one sided, resulting in a total crushing of the Confederate horse. It's amazing that the Confederates were able to reorganize and launch what was at first a highly successful attack at Cedar Creek 10 days later. This recovery and attack is a tribute to Early, who unfortunately used his infamous tongue lashing too harshly afterwards demonstrating one of his worst character flaws. The other great aspect of these talented authors is their research, which is so impeccable that they sort out the historical misrepresentations and get to the truth of the matter, albeit at the expense of some such as John Gordon, the great fighter and embellisher. The only negative, I wish there was a summary of the battles in date line fashion along with a map that showed where all the key battles were fought. I also wish the summary of the situation prior to Early's arrival included a discussion of General "Grumble" Jones battle of Piedmont where he lost his life trying to stop General Hunter's attack of the valley. As an additional note, these fine historians get together almost every summer and provide excellent tours of the valley, a treat worth considering.
Another volume in a good series.......2006-06-12
This book of essays covers aspects of the Shenandoah Valley campaign of 1864. As is the case with all the volumes in this series, a number of military, social, and political issues are discussed. The essays are generally well-written and provide insights into some topics not evaluated in general histories of the campaign. Particularly good is the essay comparing the general performances of Sheridan and Early. One is left realizing that, given the resources available to each, Early actually did better than could have been expected and Sheridan made more errors than he should have. Worth the price of the entire volume, is the excellent biographical monograph about General Horatio Wright. This is the first attempt ever to provide a biographical sketch of this important but overlooked officer. The essay is balanced, well-researched, and very worthwhile to the serious student of this period.
This book is not for someone unfamiliar with this campaign but, as is the case with the rest of the series, is of value to the experienced Civil War reader.

Misleading title and one of the worst.......2007-07-05
After I run through the book (it's too dry, repetitive and disorganised), my immediate feeling was: "What a sucker I am!" The book title and the front cover is definitely misleading. Instead of telling the hows, the author kept on quoting academic studies of how useless TA had been, and preaching the importance to look into the "context" of individual scenarios. I dont mind how bad the author disliked TA. However, he should have provided a solution, which is nada, but shallow fundamental and behavioural stuff, readily available and much better presented in books that focused on "Fundamental Analysis" and "Behavioural Finance". Glad to see that another reviewer Stephen B. Aust shared the same negative opinion as mine. In short, dont waste your hard earned money and valuable time on this.
Technical Analysis and the Active Trader.......2006-07-20
This is, quite simply, one of the worst books ever written on any subject. I have never written a review of a book, even though I read several hundred books per year. Here is the book in a nutshell. The author met someone doing Technical Analysis that wasn't very good and he also went to a seminar that he didn't like. According to his bibliography, he hasn't read any real Technical Analysis books. His opinion is that he doesn't like TA. He shows a couple of charts that no true TA would trade from (and in fact show the opposite of the point that he is trying to make... for instance the MACD on the same chart says sell, but he manages to think that the chart says buy). His solutions are... well, you've got me... what ARE his solutions; maybe his next book will give solutions. Do not waste your time and money on this book... unless he reduces it to one paragraph and charges one cent for his opinions, which is what his opinions are worth. This book got one star because it is written in English and the ink wasn't smeared. I firmly believe that the other reviews were written by the author's friends.
Had to Sit On This Review.......2006-06-29
I had to sit on this review a while and let it simmer. This book is five star material no doubt. It is a 4.5 star because there is one thing that bothers me. The author spent half the book ragging on the faults of TA.
I happen to agree with some aspects of TA and a simple chapter with a problem would have sufficed. In fact I (as a published author) would have started the book with the Nokia and Motoral divergence case that was presented near the end of the book. That simple illustration shows the fault of TA without much further discussion needed.
For those readers wondering what the author is complaining about, he is complaining about comments like the following: (Trading Markets.com)
As Goes the Rest of this Week, So Goes the Second Half of the Year
"As the last few days of the first half of 2006 come upon us and the S&P 500 is trading near break-even, we asked, "How does the market perform the second half of the year after it has risen the first half of the year?" And, "How has it performed the rest of the year after it has declined the first half of the year?""
The answer is that the market will decline, but you have to ask yourself why? What says that the market will decline, from a purely TA perspective? Sure it might, but it also might go up.
I am not going to give an answer which way the market will go because the second half of this book does give a generalized answer. I find the second half of this book brilliant, and if there ever is a second edition of the book (and there should be) the author needs to focus on expanding the materials in the second half.
Beware of superbookdeals seller.......2006-06-19
If you want to buy the book, go ahead, just be careful of superbookdeals, they take your money but don't deliver and don't answer emails. Caveat Emptor.
An end to trading BS.......2006-02-18
Gary Norden describes trading how it actually is - hard work. So many people get involved in trading thinking it's an easy way to make money, and many techinical trading systems lead them to think this way. Most of these people ultimately lose money. Those that succeed develop a deep understanding of their markets, understanding that requires time, hard work, and intelligence.
Although Mr. Norden claims he didn't intend to write a "how to trade profitably" book (and it probably isn't possible to write such a book) I found his general advice excellent: understand the context of price moves, weigh possible outcomes and expected returns, and look for disconfirmation in other markets.

LA Guide.......2005-08-31
I purchased this guide to replace an old LA Guide I have had for 10 years. Although it mentions some interesting things to do, directions and lack of maps showing freeways, etc. are a big minus. I would not recommend this guide.
Great fun!.......2000-05-30
This was a great, handy book to have while visiting southern California. I have been on two of the tours so far. Both were accurate and fun. I am origianally from California, but live in Dallas now. This was a nice way to refresh my memory of the area, and find out new places to see. It is a must have if you are planning to spend some time in the southern California area.
Have Fun!.......2000-04-12
You will have fun reading this handy little book even if you don't go on the variety of tours it has to offer. The concise, often humorous, descriptions are full of little known facts on people and places all over L.A. There are museums, parks, landmarks, cemetaries and unique attractions I never knew existed and it was a great experience seeing them for the first time. Most of them were FREE! Pocket Guide to L.A. is not your typical Hollywood guide book. It is a entertaining and educational activity book that covers a wide range of interesting places to visit again and again. It would make a great gift.
Experience L.A. Like Never Before!.......2000-04-07
What a great Book! This is the best guide to L.A. that I have seen. Not only does it contain over one hundred of the best attractions, but it also has five self-guided tours around the greater Los Angeles area.
Four of the tours stop at famous landmarks and the homes of the biggest superstars in Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Brentwood and Pacific Palisades. Celebrity biographies are provided for more then 60 of the greatest stars of today and yesteryear. Some of my favorites include Brad Pitt, John Travolta, Harrison Ford, Steven Spielberg, Dustin Hoffman. Marilyn Monroe, Lucille Ball, and Elvis Presley.
The final tour is a walking tour exploring downtown Los Angeles. This tour unveils the various cultures, historical facts and gives you a feel for the future of the city of Los Angeles. Featured are water parks, beautiful gardens, mini-museums, three different ethnic communities, architectural feats, and much more.
Not only does the book have very accurate driving directions, but it contains GPS coordinates for those who like to navigate with GPS. Additionally, it contains a very innovative GPS Adventure Game which is a type of cross word puzzle where you are given GPS coordinates and clues. You travel to each GPS coordinate, read the clue and determine the answers. The game's route follows pretty close to the route of Adventure Tour I, so you can play the game at the same time that you go on the tour. For example, one clue is the tomb inscription, "She did it the hard way". The GPS coordinates take you to Forest Lawn Memorial Park to Bette Davis' tomb. Another clue is "A winged lady holding an electron", and you are guided to GPS coordinates at The Academy of Television Arts and Sciences where you see a thirty foot Emmy (the answer) and many more busts of the greatest television stars.
The book was well planned and is very convenient. I highly recommend the "Pocket Guide to the Best of Los Angeles" to everyone.
Born There, Never Done That!.......2000-03-07
Even though I was born and raised in the Los Angeles area, I never knew there were so many fun and interesting places to visit. The "Pocket Guide to the Best of Los Angeles" is assisting to provide my family and me with many exciting and educational experiences. Recently I visited the Museum of Tolerance. I must say that I have heard it advertised in the past, but had no desire to visit. It was quite a learning experience and now I am excited about choosing more places both for relaxation and education. Thank you "Pocket Guide to the Best of Los Angeles" for enlightening me to such experiences. Now when family and freinds visit, we will be able to plan exactly what we want to do, already knowing all the necessary details for a perfect outings.
I have had the pleasure of going on a few of the book's Adventure Tours and being able to read a biography about each of the stars certainly makes viewing their homes more interesting. The choice of only the prime super stars of today and the past was excellent. The driving directions were easy to follow, accurate and the stops on the tours were not too far apart.
I like the way the book is organized with various types of attractions separated from the tours, and also the recommendations on visiting other sights in the area. The book is just the right size to fit into my pocket or purse. While browsing, we noticed the clever comments by the authors throughout the book. A little humor is always good. I can't wait to try other adventures. My leisure time is valuable and the use of the web site addresses and other information in the pocket guide allows me to make the most of that time. As they say "Time is money" and this was money well spent.
Three Cheers For The Authors.

Simply the best. Too bad the publisher has let it go out of print........2005-09-30
This is the best studio lighting textbook I have ever found. It's well written, concise, and well illustrated. Kolb and Overturf do an excellent job of explaining everything from the most basic lighting setup to the most complex. Natural light, hot lights and strobes are all covered. In addition there's a significant amount of information on set construction and excellent suggestions for designing your own studio. Best of all Kolb has put a great deal of effort into explaining why one would want to choose a particular approach to lighting a subject. The underlying message being - just because you can doesn't mean you should.
Unfortunately the publisher has chosen not to reprint this book. As the current used prices indicate - it's in demand. Someone in the McGraw-Hill sales department needs to take notice. Too bad they're not because I'm trying to adopt a new book for my large format photography and lighting class and no other seems to fit the bill quite as well.
An excellent studio textbook........1999-01-21
This is an excellent studio photography textbook.It does not use the dry "how to" approach which is the downfall of many photography books.Full of stimulating theory and helpful specifics this book has changed the way I work in the studio and teach photography.
Book Description
A thoroughly contemporary approach to teaching essential technical graphics skills has made Bertoline and Wiebe's Fundamentals of Graphics Communication the leading textbook in introductory engineering graphics programs. The fifth edition continues to integrate design concepts and the use of CAD into its outstanding coverage of the basic visualization and sketching techniques that enable students to create and communicate graphic ideas effectively.
As in past editions, the authors have included many examples of how graphics communication pertains to "real-world" engineering design, including current industry practices and breakthroughs; as one example, the Motorola RAZR cellular phone is used as a case study to synthesize the design concepts in the text. A dynamic Online Learning Center provides additional resources such as an image bank, animations, quizzes, and links to current industry and career sites.

Readable, State-of-the-Art Overview of Autism.......2003-01-09
The subtitle of this book--"From Research to Individualized Practice"--really doesn't do justice to the succinct, yet really comprehensive overview of the current understanding of the syndrome that is Autism. This book is a must, especially for parents with recently diagnosed children who need both a reality check on possibilities and hope for the future. For those parents who have been struggling for years and haven't given up, the book presents an overview of therapy interventions in very concrete and practical terms, breaking down possible interventions for both children and adolescents. The book is well researched and is highly readable.
Guide to clinical practice.......2002-12-07
I have worked for over twenty years with children and adolescents in private psychotherapy practice and as the director of a non profit family clinic. Working with children with a broad spectrum of Developmental Disorders is a tremenduous challenge for the family and the clinician. As the author, Robin Gabriels often states in her book, the disorder is complicated in nature and requires a multifaceted approach to treatment. Children with autism do not have one identifiable "trauma" or chemical imbalance or an interpersonally toxic environment that would make therapeutic treatment tangible and focused. Robin Gabriels has undertaken the difficult task to match a broad spectrum disorder with a broad spectrum treatment approach. As a clinician, I loved her book, since it is the best integration of seemingly contradictory clinical venues I know of. In integrating sound research data with clinical outcome and experience she has given me an excellent guideline for my own work with children with Autism Spectrum. I am very happy that I finally found a comprehensive approach that includes medication, working with the family, the school, and the therapist individually. I have recommended the book to several of my colleagues, already, which is very helpful, since here in rural Middle Georgia we have virtually no clinical training opportunities or non-profit services for children with Autism. I can wholeheartedly recommend her book to professionals and parents alike.
What the world has been waiting for!.......2002-12-03
If you are the parent or educator of a child with autism, this book should be required reading! Well-written and informative both the professional and the non-professional alike can learn so much from this multi-disciplinary approach to treating this difficult and heartwrenching disorder. Edited by two esteemed and experienced professionals, this book answers any questions you may have, and even questions you never would have thought to ask. I cannot more highly recommend this book!
