I have used this book this year and the alphabets in it are amazing. There is an alphabet for every type of effect imaginable, including explosions, and even one which makes you dizzy! The results are spectacular. This is a great book if you are into making posters, or if you're into commercial art. Definitely recommended.

A very thoughtful and detailed analysis of classic and contemporary economic theories and their effects on society. Weiss does a wonderful job weaving philosophy, anthropology, history, a little spattering of sociology - a bit of organic chemistry - and some speculative quantum physics in this his magnum opus. I say, Bravo!

This is a really wonderful book, with beautiful photography. The book shares the incredible story of one of our most beautiful national parks. The photography captures the beauty of the park through all of the seasons. You will definitely love it!

James Kraft, a historian at the University of Hawaii/Manoa, tackles a huge but underexplored topic: the impact of the major technological innovations of the early twentieth century on the livelihood of the performing musicians. For those interested in the lives of musical stars, whether in the classical or popular fields, this book will be disappointing. Kraft regards music-making as very much a business: this is a history of the struggles of organized labor, in the form of the American Federation of Musicians, to maintain job security and incomes for their rank-and-file members in the face of two revolutions that changed the business of supplying music to the masses forever. The first was the advent of sound movies, which in a very few years wiped out the livelihoods of thousands upon thousands of musicians who had performed live music for showings of silent films in moviehouses across the nation. The second was radio, which quickly proved a boon for the sound recording industry, further eroding the need for live performers.

STAGE TO STUDIO is an absorbing and carefully researched chronicle. As a performing musician I emerged from reading it more aware of just why it is that it is so difficult to make a living as a musician now, at the beginning of the twenty-first century, and grateful to Petrillo and other major players in the AFM who, against all odds, struggled to preserve work and benefits for the beleaguered members of their union.

We originally bought this book for our little boy at Toys R Us and he loved it so much that he broke the spine of the book. The soundstory feature makes this a great way to get a very young child more interested in books in general and that takes him/her one step closer to reading. My boy especially likes the page with the cantina band where he can press the buttons and make the different instruments play. If you have a toddler tearing about your house I give this my highest recomendation!

If strategic leadership is your area, this is the bible.

Any book written by Prof N. K. Bansal is a masterpiece, which is a result of his contributions in research and development and his innovative thinking.

This book blew me away. Dr. Weinstein approaches his subject with energy, compassion, and wonderful humor. His no-nonsense approach to stress and health is both clear and persuasive. He explains a complex subject clearly and backs up his argument with solid research references throughout (the bibliography at the back of the book is impressive), yet the book is very easy to read. The link he draws between disease and high levels of stress hormones caused by poor diet, overuse of anti-inflammatory drugs (ibuprofen, aspirin, and the like), and other (reversible!) lifestyle factors is both irrefutable and damning. Dr. Weinstein isn't afraid to put the drug companies and the processed food industry squarely in his crosshairs.

This a practical book written by a practical man. His advice is both commonsense and easy to follow, and includes a resource list which can help you get personalized guidance. No 'chicken-soup' or 'don't sweat it' platitudes here, but hard, solid, well-researched advice. Sufferers of obesity, diabetes, heart disease, or any of a number of ailments should find this in this book the tools to change their life and the hope and the reason to do so. I strongly recommend this book to anyone!

This is a comprehensive, science-based discussion of how stress, via catecholamines such as adrenaline and noradrenaline, can lead to cardiovascular diseases such as high blood pressure, heart attacks, and sudden death. The author expends great effort in attempting to separate facts, theories, and unfounded assumptions in this highly controversial area. This is a resource for academicians. Lay people probably would not understand the medicalese.

a very interesting book that, it contains alot of information for engineers.
