This handbook speaks directly to public broadcasters. It's edge-of-your-seat, can't-put-it-down reading, and a solid guide to what you need to know about running a public radio station.

Station managers who need an overview of the unseen aspects of running a radio station can find a wealth of information in the publication.

A station operations checklist covers the paperwork, technical and general operating requirements. There's a section devoted to regular filings and reports that every station manager needs to know about. Rules about fundraising, underwriting and promotion addressing the revenue-generating side of public radio include case studies and examples of the do's and don'ts. Real life savers! Programming regulations concerning editorials, obscenity issues and emergency broadcasts are covered as well.

It's a reference booked that I've dogged-eared from use almost weekly for the past six years. It has saved me countless hours in research and consultations - and legal expenses.

Dealing with the FCC? It's in the book. Libel law - it's covered. Lotteries, contests and local service information to keep you out of hot water and on the air!

If you're going to go on the air, turn your radio station on with this handbook.

I am a student at Florida State University, My major is Management Information Systems. This book covers many approaches to solving business problems. This book is easy to read and understand. It gives many real world examples and solutions using MS Excel.

He usado el libro en cursos de maestria en administracion. Mis estudiantes lo recomiendan por ser muy didactico, sin sacrificar profundidad en la presentacion de los temas.

This goes great with the hardcover textbook. It is full of problems and solutions to practice with.

I only have the fifth edition of this book, but it is probably similar to this edition. I used this book, when I was teaching statistics many years ago. The book is very clear and it explains each statistical concept very thoroughly.

As an online statistics tutor, I find myself referring to it all the time. It has all of the topics that are normally covered in a first course in statistics. It also has some very good chapters on elective topics such as nonparametrics, sample surveys, and quality control. I took many courses in these subjects in undergraduate and graduate school, and I find that this book is a good review for some of the things I've forgotten.

I have many statistics books both elementary and advanced. This is one of only two elementary books that I would purchase again (my teacher's edition is losing the binding!).

It is probably the most complete book on statistics that I have ever read at this level. I would certainly recommend this book to anybody who is taking statistics for the first time. I would also recommend this book to statistics majors who plan to go into teaching and need a good review text.

This is a definately worthwhile learning tool which can aid anyone who is attempting to tackle statistics for the first time. The methods and theories are concise, direct, and most of all, clearly stated. The authors bring you step by step through each procedure and then offer exercises to demonstrate the process while giving you the confidence to go on.

This book was puchased midway through the semester. At that time I was struggling to maintain a C average. With the help of this book I was able to close the semester with an 89% average.

After taking this course for the second time, I found that this book really explained concepts well. I had trouble learning statistics the first time, but this book adds real-life applications making it easy to learn why it works the way it does. If you are hesitant or jittery about this class...relax. This book will make your life easier.

This book lacked depth. It covers all the essentials but leaves big gaps. For example: in setting up sites, this books does not adequately cover subnets, nor how to add objects to the site.

This book was very good, and will continue to be a resource for actual implementation of Windows 2000. The book parallels Microsoft Official Curriculum (MOC) 1560, and does not go into many of the details necessary to pass test 76-203. As an example - the book's material in performing an NT 4 Upgrade with basic disks with a RAID5 configuration to W2K and performing disk replacement was not be be found, but asked on the test. Much of the info. seems to be based on W2K Release Candidate 3.

Bottom line - this is the best book I've seen, it may need a revision shortly, but will not get you through the exams alone.

As an MCSE , reading this book refreshed many of the information about NT 4.0 with its first part chapters , uptil part 2 of the book where the real staff of windows 2000 begins which is AD , the third part is exactly as reading a book about the TCP/IP exam "i.e WINS,DNS,DHCP,...etc" for windows 2000. The book is wonderful as a head start , if you are looking for a book to learn the general specification of windows 2000 and comparing them with windows NT 4.0 this the ONE !!!

i think the problem with *most* of these reviews is that the reviewers are bullheaded or egotistical. this isn't a novel, it's a screenplay/script, as the title reads. in fact: it's one of the best screenplays I'VE ever read and i've read thousands (literally). the story is well developed, as are the characters, and the dialogue is hilarious. recommended for paul anderson fans or boogie nights fans. not for book readers, necessarily. my only regret is that the deleted scenes that are available on both dvd versions weren't included, because they helped showcase the cast's amazing talent for improvisation, and allowed the characters to expand even further.

I knew even before I saw the movie that I would love it. And I was right. It is one of my favorites. Paul Thomas Anderson is at his best--he is one of the most promising directors of the next century. This movie is important because he doesn't show the case for or the case against this family of pornographers and drug users--he shows them as people, and lets us make our own opinions about them.

Paul Thomas Anderson's "BOOGIE NIGHTS" is a sprawling masterpiece concerning many things. The subjects range from the 70s porn industry, to the journey from late teens to early manhood, from drugs to celebrity, from family to friendship. It's about lost souls in search of solace and young disenfranchized in search of a home. Mark Wahlberg (yes, Markey Mark) stars as Eddie Adams, the Torrance youth with a 13-inch...TALENT...who runs from his mother's house and into the arms of Jack Horner (Burt Reynolds in his Oscar-nominated--and robbed--performance), the finest director in the porn industry in 1977 California. What Eddie finds at Jack's fine home in the San Fernando Valley is an oasis on the outskirts of the real world, a wonderland of new experiences and hope-filled dreams, where celebrity is literally around the corner. He also finds a surrogate family of new friends: there's Buck (Don Cheadle) and Becky Barnett (Nicole Ari Parker), the resident black couple, and Buck's destined wife Jessie St. Vincent (Melora Walters of "HARD EIGHT" and "MAGNOLIA"). There's Scotty J (Philip Seymour Hoffman, fresh off Anderson's debut feature, "HARD EIGHT", later in both "MAGNOLIA" and as the villain in Anderson's 4th feature "PUNCH-DRUNK LOVE"), the enthralled young guy who "helps on some of the films" and Kurt Longjohn (Ricky Jay), the cameraman who "wants to give each picture its own look". There's Rollergirl (Heather Graham), who "never takes her skates off...NEVER". There's Little Bill (William H. Macy), the depressed AD whose wife (real porn star Nina Hartley) abuses him in public, and has sex with everyone around. There's The Colonel (the late Robert Ridgely; he had a bit part in "HARD EIGHT") who finances the films. There's Floyd Gondolli (Philip Baker Hall, from Anderson's "HARD EIGHT), who watches everything from behind the scenes and seems to pull the strings for everyone. There's Reed Rothchild (John C. Reilly, also from "HARD EIGHT") who becomes Eddie's best friend as he makes the transition from Eddie Adams to new hot porn star DIRK DIGGLER). There's Amber Waves (Julianne Moore, who would become, along with many of these actors, part of the cast of Anderson's follow-up "MAGNOLIA"), the mother figure to Dirk. We even meet Maurice t.t. Rodriguez (Luis Guzman, of "MAGNOLIA" and "PUNCH-DRUNK LOVE"), the Puerto Rican club owner who hangs out with the cast and crew. And finally Jack, of course. This ensemble cast of "NASHVILLE" size and ability is a remarkable group that works together like they've known each other all their lives -- many have. Anderson is a writer-director to watch, as he takes a pocket full of style and an unusual script structure and lays out a sprawling epic of unimaginable ambition and limitless talent. It's quite a masterwork. The screenplay to "BOOGIE NIGHTS", though it contains much camera description and is more technical than the average "screenplay" (a script tells a story of a movie, like a novel does), is one not to miss. Anderson's scripts for "HARD EIGHT" and "MAGNOLIA" are just the same...I'm sure the soon to be released "PUNCH-DRUNK LOVE" will carry on the tradition. This is great.

In his letter to the Galatians, St. Paul decreed a particularly ugly fate for males who proclaimed any gospel, other than the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The Rev. Anderson need not worry about that punishment. In fact, the title of his book is a bit deceptive: This is not "The Gospel According to Disney," nor is it a theological treatise of any sort. Rather, it is the Gospel of Jesus Christ, as seen in bits and pieces, through the work of Walt Disney, et al. In each of the 20 short chapters, Anderson lays out a sermon illustration, Sunday School or Vacation Bible School lesson, as seen in one of Disney's films or leading characters. The book is amusing, engaging, and restates the unchanging Gospel of Jesus Christ in a fresh way that is easily grasped by a modern audience. If there is any short fall to this valuable little book it is that the book can be a bit short on divine grace, and very long on perfectionism at some points. Ironically, sometimes (despite the title) rather than appealing to the Gospel, Anderson appeals to the Law. ...but a book that includes maxims, morals and ethical teachings is still a valuable text. Especially, when paired with opportunities to view the original films, this book can be a wonderful teaching tool for parents, Sunday School teachers, Vacation Bible School teachers, divinity students and clergy.

The Gospel According to Disney provides a wonderful, authoritative starting point for parents to teach their children Christian morals and values. In each chapter, Rev. Anderson skillfully points out the parallels between the early Disney animated classic movies and the important lessons of Christianity. Included at the end of each chapter are study questions which nicely serve to stimulate and facilitate family discussions. Using the Disney movies, beloved by all children, Rev. Anderson has provided parents with an easy, relevant means to make important Christian teachings a part of their childrens' everyday lives. Thank you, Mr. Disney, for making the beautiful animated classics, and thank you, Rev. Anderson, for showing us their important religious significance!

Rev. Anderson skillfully enlightens the reader to a higher level of Disney animated classics. He lifts up scripture from the Bible and shows the reader how its lessons live on in numerous Disney animated films, created during Walt Disney's lifetime. If Walt were alive, I believe he would highly approve of Rev. Anderson's insights. Exploring Christian values by comparing them to popular stories is a creative and fun way to get the entire family to study and learn from the Bible. Each chapter is a sermon for modern times; his insights are shared with humor, touching stories and wisdom. Rev. Anderson even includes study questions for adults (children of all ages) to continue their learning, on their own time. This book is a treasure for the whole family, a valuable companion to the Bible and represents a scholarly view into the world of animated art.

. . .by authors who remember that they are writing for persons who are NOT professional mathematicians.

In today's world, frequently persons enter the business profession from a background in something other than what in the past might have been considered traditional avenues. Not all business textbooks recognize this (see my review for "Mathematical Applications")! However, this book seems to be an exception.

The material is presented in a logical format; key formulae are highlighted and set off from the rest of the text; and in-depth business examples are given in each chapter, demonstrating the particular statistical tools to be taught.

A useful and recommended volume.

The information in this book is clear-cut, concise, and easy to read. Easily understandable examples are given for the various statistical formulas, and extras like z-score value charts and the like help a lot. If you have a talented instructor leading your Stats class (like I did) in addition to this text, you will be sure to ace this course (like I did)!

P.S.: If you happen to be an Information Systems/Information Technology major (such as myself) DO NOT RE-SELL THIS BOOK! You will need the information in this book in your future Info Systems courses, and you will definitely realize the TRUE value of this text!

If you are in the pizza business or if you are thinking about getting into the pizza business - you must read this book.

Easy to read - but a bit slow in parts - the nature of biography in my opinion .. so overall subject matter for me was excellent and I am in the pizza business.

On a literary scale the book was only a 2 star - but 5 star for me as I used some of the ideas and confirmed some concepts.

Daddio

I checked this book out of the public library at a time when my business was near failure. It gave me the spirit to keep on and have a sucessful turnaround. Monahan is a hell of a great story and it comes from the heart. An orphan, high school dropout who overcomes everything and becomes a billionaire. Only in America.

Not great literature and hard to find but well worth having. Now that I own my own copy, I will never give it up.

Pizza Tiger is a great motivating tool for anyone wanting to run their own business.

Don McNay...

I've had this book for 15 years and think of it often, EVEN THOUGH I'M NOT IN THE PIZZA BUSINESS!! For some reason, I can really identify with Tom Monaghan.

It is a bit biographical, but that isn't a negative. When I want to know about successful people, I like to know all about them. It isn't just their business savvy that got them where they are, it is a combination of many other personal traits that help add up to business success.

One trait that really stuck with me is to interview many people about your product--including people who HATE IT. You can learn a lot about why some people avoid you and your product. Just this one tidbit of advice had helped me to make thousands of exta dollars over the past 15 years.

Even the biggest Paul Thomas Anderson fan will admit that his scripts don't read that well. He makes basic spelling mistakes and tends to run on with his incoherent, "realistic" monologues. His movies are salvaged by good actors, and his sense of sound and visual storytelling. In any event, this book is a big disappointment. If you're expecting something comparable to Newmarket's Magnolia script book or even Faber and Faber's Boogie Nights script book, think again. The gimmick here is that the multi-colored script revision pages are published, instead of a single draft. The result is only 90 pages and, since many of the pages are script revisions, some of the pages are half empty. Also, unlike the previously published PTA scripts, there's no introduction. Unlike the Magnolia script, there are no stills. Hell, there isn't even text on the back cover of the book. This is as bare-bones as script books come. As far as I can tell, PTA doesn't really care about his fans anymore. He's stopped recording commentaries, writing introductions, or soundtrack liner notes. At least he still makes good movies.

I love being able to read P.T. Anderson's shooting scripts. His films are fabulous. I believe one of the negative reviewers partially misses the point when harping on the misspellings, the rambling monologues and how PTA's scripts are saved by the actors. The whole point of a script is that it is the first rough draft -- the framework -- upon which a movie is built. Of course there are going to be improvements between the script and the final product. The reason to buy this, or any, shooting script is to see how the project evolved from script to screen. In the case of Punch-Drunk Love -- much more so than Boogie Nights or Magnolia -- it's fascinating to find that almost every important scene was tweaked, sometimes in a major way, before this wonderful film reached the screen. ... It's a great chance to get some insight into the stages of the creative process of one of America's finest directors. ... BOTTOM LINE: Does this book have all the bells and whistles of the Boogie Nights and Magnolia shooting scripts? NOPE. Is it essential for the PTA fan? YUP.

One of my new favorites, "Punch-Drunk Love" is a unique and spectacular story about a man who doesn't know how the face the world around him. That man is Barry Egan. He has seven sisters who have verbally abused him since he was little, causing him to, now all grown up, get into violent outbursts. Barry's a quiet and shy guy, but if his button is pushed things can get out of control. He meets Lena, a very strange and peculiar girl herself. Love falls upon these two, but Barry's even facing more problems after being blackmailed by a phone-sex operator. But when all else fails, he knows that he has a love in his life in this very oddball and dark comedy.

I'm glad they came out with a script version of the film that you can buy. Paul Thomas Anderson has written a magnificent picture that's so easy to relate to , it's scary. The stuff that occurs you can see happening in real life. It's realistic and surreal at the same time.

This is the shooting script, on blue, pink, and yellow colored pages that symbolize when the revisions were made. Technical terms such as camera angels are included as well since it is a shooting script. Even little changes are mentioned as well. I love the dialogue that was written and you can tell that P.T. had Sandler in mind for the part, because nobody else would've been able to pull it off. While it's not your typical comedy, I thought it was hilarious. It pretty much follows the movie, although some things aren't there or changed due to changes that occurred during the shooting. It's pretty much all there for the most part.

"Punch-Drunk Love: The Shooting Script" is a great purchase for anyone who loved the film. It may not had been the most popular movie to come out of 2002, but it's #2 on my list. The pages fly by with ease, and when you're done with it you want to read it again. I can't wait for this movie to come out on DVD. I'm counting the days. A spectacular script for a spectacular film.
