This book really helped me in my venture to start a Jazz radio station in Omaha, Ne. I don't know what I would have done without this book.

This consise and precise book gives almost all the information you will need to gain a great understanding of the acoustics envolved in modelling transducer's acoustic properties. Sometimes tough reading, but rigourous.

Good book. It really goes into detail. The MATLAB code does not work due to missing functions "unitr" and "crossr".

This collections of stories about Leo Bebb, is an interesting vignette of life. Whilst Bebb swings from villan, to conn man, to careing pastor, the author is really showing how we all have good, bad and ugly in us and God's grace is active in our lives despite this.

The stories are wiritten in a earthy and human way. They will make one laugh, cry and be disgusted at the characters. If one holds a curious facination for human life, in particular in the 1950's - 1960's then this book is for them.

A truly good read.

This book should tell you alot about Candle Magic.I do think it would be better to get a copy from someone you know.It would be better than buying it.

This is a very comprehensive overview of the entire Business Resumtion planning process. It gives enough detail for you to get started and walk you through the entire process. It is very consistent with other research I have done on the internet in regards to Business Resumption. The book takes you through Business Operations Recovery, Data Center Recovery, and Voice and Data Communications Recovery. I have so far focused on the Business Operations Recovery, but I am sure that the other sections are just as comprehensive. Certainly the best overall resource for Business Resumption that I have found to date. This will be my "go to" manual during this entire planning process.

i am a new reader.so the books i ever saw always made me feel good.

When you have a detective novel that starts off with the characters arguing about the believability of detective stories, you know you're in for a self-conscious take on the genre. Many of these sorts of parodies and satires fall flat because they either fail to include an interesting mystery or they've obviously been written by someone who doesn't really know or even like the genre.

Leo Bruce's "Case for Three Detectives" doesn't fail, and for two reasons: 1) Its pastiche of three famous detectives -- Lord Simon Plimsoll (aka Lord Peter Wimsey), Monsieur Amer Picon (aka Hercule Poirot) and Monsignor Smith (aka Father Brown) -- is very funny and very clever, and 2) the author obviously loves the genre and respects its conventions even as he pokes fun at them.

There's a fourth detective involved in this case -- the local police official, Sgt. Beef. Beef represents the seemingly slow-witted officer who always jumps to conclusions in Golden Age whodunnits and is always shown up at the end by the brilliant amateur sleuth. In "Case for Three Detectives," however, the beer-drinking, darts-playing, unpretentious Beef gets some revenge for his literary type, as he gets to show up the three geniuses through use of plain ol' common sense.

With four detectives in this book, you get four different solutions to the crime, all based on the same facts. Each solution is ingenious, in its own way -- although only one can be correct, of course.

There are a lot of inside jokes waiting for readers of Agatha Christie, Dorothy Sayers and G.K. Chesterson, and for these readers I give this book four stars. You folks will really get a kick out of this novel on more than one level. Bruce does a wonderful job capturing the voices, attitudes and styles of all three famous detectives.

For those of you who don't like the old-style "puzzle" mysteries, though, and prefer the more modern style of psychological intrigue and suspense, you might not enjoy this book quite as much. I will say, however, that it reads like a shot (you can easily finish it in one sitting) and so the time investment isn't too great, even if you're not too familiar with the mystery style of the 1920s and '30s.

For those of you who miss the Golden Age writers, this book will be a real treat.

(One complaint -- the copyediting of this edition is, well, pretty bad. There are a lot of typos. If you're really bugged by this sort of thing, this edition might distract you a bit. I don't think they're the type of errors that actually slow you up while reading, so they didn't bother me much and thus didn't affect my four-star rating. Your call, though.)

I was fortunate enought to have read this book just before reading the new John Adams book. It is a fascinating insight into the thinking and values systems that shaped our country in its early days. I don't think I ever really understood how the religious values of the early New Englanders led to many of the principles our country was built on. To those who have trouble understanding why the early leaders of our country were so compelled to sacrifice so much to create a new and independent country here in America, this is the answer. Why John and Abigail Adams were willing to sacrifice almost their entire married life and the rearing of their children for these principles, one can only understand upon reading this book. These were not men set upon a search for glory or power, but men with a vision that they believed in with all their souls. The unifying beliefs of the people led them to accomplish what the great minds of Europe felt was totally irrational and impossible. This book is an answer to a question many didn't know to ask.
