this book is the great book. Each of the story have it own lesson for the reader. I like this book because end of each story there is an inner thought from the author of what is the lesson to learm from the story. this make it easy for young children to understand the valuable lessons behind the story easily. this book also bring an ultimate entertainment to the family. Even i am 23 years old, i still enjoy reading this book. I really think parents should buy this book and read to their children.

I bought this book for my 7 yr old, thinking it would introduce her to the standard bedtime stories of my childhood, before Arthur & Nicklodeon became such a part of our kids everyday life. Don't get me wrong - I love Arthur, but this book puts just enough spin on the stories to make my daughter laugh out loud when she reads. The author has suggestions at the beginning on how to make reading these stories more fun for all! Just when you think The Three Little Pigs couldn't be improved, Mark Binder throws a curve!! Nice & short, perfect for those sometimes rushed bedtimes. I definitely recommend this book for all kids!

So, you have flexed your credit card, and purchased (or upgraded to) Microsoft Office v. X for Macintosh. After all, it is the Mac equivalent of the biggest, baddest, most popular office productivity suite in the PC world. You come home from your dealer, or get the package from the delivery truck driver, and rip the box open, only to find a CD-ROM disk and packing slip.

That's all.

"There's gotta be more," you say, as you rummage around in the suspiciously slim box. Unfortunately, the User Guides that you look for are nowhere to be found. You install the software, and try out the various parts: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Entourage. The on-line Help file answers a few of your questions, but it does nothing to answer the bigger question: "How do I USE this thing?"

Welcome to the Death of Documentation. This phrase, coined by TidBITS publisher Adam Engst, reflects the fact that comprehensive user guides, even for many complex software suites, have become a thing of the past. Paper has been replaced with on-line help. Read the article to get a better feel for the pros and cons of the trend to on-line help.

The yawning gap left by software publishers' failure to provide paper documentation has been well-filled by many book publishers. Buyers spend big bucks to buy software, and then they can't learn how to use it, so they run to buy a book. Tom Negrino, Kirk McElhearn and Kate Binder have the book for you.

Microsoft Office: mac v. X Inside Out is my current recommendation in the Macintosh Office v. X help book category. Covering Word, Entourage, Excel, and PowerPoint, its 975 pages keep it from the "boat-anchor" category (just barely), so you can actually read this from an easy chair. The book is targeted at the Intermediate/Advanced level user, not at the raw Macintosh beginner; it won't tell the newbie how to run a Macintosh. But, if you put this book to good use, you'll have a solid grounding in Office v. X.

A word to the wise: don't feel that you have to read Microsoft Office: mac v. X Inside Out (hereafter referred to as MOIO) from cover to cover, as I did. Users who are upgrading from earlier Office versions will best employ MOIO as a reference book. The excellent index and table of contents make finding particular topics easy, and the material is presented in such a way that small subject areas stand on their own.

My one kvetch with the Word material came from the my reading it from cover to cover, as opposed to using it as a reference to find specific information. I felt the section on Word never really presented the user with the best overall strategy to create a document. Chapter 2 Creating and Managing Documents covers the essentials, but I felt that someone new to Office v. X could use a broader discussion of the ins-and-outs of documents, sections, chapters, master documents, etc, earlier in the book, rather than later.

My experience with the other Office components is minimal, compared to my expertise in Word. Reading the Excel section gave me a great overview of all the powerful features that I never knew how to use. The advanced user will find plenty of detail in MOIO on AppleScripting spreadsheets, and a solid foundation of PivotTable information. The Solver is discussed, but not in great detail.

As I knew virtually nothing about Entourage and Powerpoint before reviewing MOIO, I was glad that I came away with the feeling that I could use the applications after one reading of the book. I might even have to abandon my current calendaring application in favor of Entourage. If I ever get a corporate job, MOIO will help me attain true PowerPoint-jockey status.

While the Office v. X book field is not yet jammed with entries, Negrino, McElhearn, and Binder's Microsoft Office: mac v. X Inside Out will be stiff competition for any new competition. I strongly recommend it for both new Office users, and for upgraders.

MacMice Rating: 4.5 out of 5...

Kirk McElhearn has graciously accepted to work with our MacNut family, so I asked if I could review this Book and Tom Negrino sent it to me (thanks a million Tom!). We do reviews of both hardware and software at http://www.mac-nut.com and a full review of this book will be found there.

Technical books usually take some time to read, but when I got this one, I couldn't put it down until I was finished. No, really! It's that good. My rating for books is based on the number of "dogears" I have put in it after I've finished. I have a lot of dogears in this one.

Kirk said he wrote the Excel section and one of the Word chapters, but I find the whole book to be one of exceptional quality and insight. The writing team really know the product and the Notes, "InsideOuts" and other tips, tricks and workarounds are first rate.

Even though this book provides deep insight into "Office:mac", I see a lot of things I'm eager to try in Office 2001 and Office in the Windows environment - just to see if they work there too.

The Microsofties at Microsoft Press did an excellent job bringing Tom Negrino, Kirk McElhearn and Kate Binder together to bring this tome to light.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

These cards are very useful when learning about drug classes and specific drugs. They provide support for patient counseling. The color pics and chemical structures are also useful. You can also purchase updated cards each year.

This binder will keep you up to par on the most recent changes in any drug regimen of the top 300 drugs. A/E, S/E, C/I, dosage, admin., brand, generic are among the topics the cards include. If you are a student, you will love the way these cards are outlined. Nothing beats an easy way to study.

Tulku Urgyen's wrightings on Dzogchen leap from the page and inspire with their straight forward simplicity. Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche manages to make "crystal' clear a subject that is sometimes explained by speaking in conrundrums. I would highly reccomend to anyone seeking to experience dzogchen both volumes of tulku Urgyen Rinpoche's As It Is series as well as his book "rainbow painting'. These are the books I keep close by and read again and again.

All HRD professionals should have this book (in two vols) in their personal library. As a practicing HRD professional, I often turn to this work as the 'first' place to look for information. In addition, to containing a wealth of information--this work also directs you to additional resources on your topic. This is an excellent source for HRD professionals and students of HRD.

With great insight and kindness, Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche gives clear advice on the different bardo states, esp. on death & dying.A must have for every serious Dharma student.

This is one of the BEST self-help books I've ever read about relationships. The author explains the different types of love relationships -- what makes them work, what makes them fail, and why people are drawn to others -- and it is amazing how quickly the reader can apply the categories to past and present amours. The author uses examples that the reader can easily relate to and understand. This is extremely valuable information, and I would highly recommend this book to anyone who has ever failed at romantic relatioships in the past and would like to succeed at one (just one!) in the future. Personally, I have it almost memorized and have given it to many of my fellow singles with the hope that next time, armed with knowledge and awareness, we will do better.

I was first given this book over ten years ago and have used mine until it is ragged. I had no idea it was still in print until this morning when I came to this web site and decided to see if it might possibly be available. I am so excited. I believe in this book so much that just a few days ago I was typing up similar pages of this prayer journal to use in my morning "quiet time" because I have no blank spaces left in the journal. This book gives you day by day guidelines for journalling your prayers to God and His answers to you. It has motivational quotes from some of the great Christian saints and scripture verses to read daily. A dear friend felt she was in a rut in her spiritual journey/relationship with God and asked me what type prayer journal I used. This is what led to my search for the book and that is why I am so excited it is still available. I haven't seen it in Christian bookstores in years. So, if you feel "lost" in your daily time with the Lord Jesus, this book is a great tool to help you renew your relationship with Him.

This is a book for all ages to enjoy. The stories are refreshing and amusing. It is a book for all to get a better prespective on family and living ones life to the fullest. The stories tell how to enjoy life whether it be your own back yard or a trip to somewhere new. There is no age berrier in these stories. so nice to read such an upbeat book. Vicki Nagy
