As a restoration guide this is a poor guide,if you want a book that is a year one sales catalog with better descriptions this is your book.If you are looking for a book to help you to restore your car it is only good for part numbers.As far as how to restore these cars or any pictures or assembly diagrams,you will not find it here.

The use of the word "Resortation" guide seems misleading here. I was expecting to see more "how-to" stuff - or "problem areas with these old B-Bodies" - hints, tips, etc.. Instead you get "this car used this part number and this car used that one"..."and they are NOT interchangeable". Don't get me wrong, that IS valuable information. BUT... it seems like alot of the verbage (a very large portion of this book BTW) would be better placed in a parts interchange manual! Its like combine this book with his parts interchange manual and you have the ultimate Chrysler parts interchange manual! One thing I DID LIKE about the book was ... in places, the author would say "Paint this 30deg Gloss Black"... Now that's cool AND useful! And I guess that was what I expected to see more of...Unfortunately, it doesnt show up that much in this book! All in all I would still recommend this book - There IS alot of useful info here. but I wish someone would write a definitive MOPAR restoration book dealing with such stuff as replacing Floor pans, Quarter panels, cowls, valences, wheel wells, detailing the engine bay etc... Actually a whole volume series A,B,C and E bodies would be cool!!! Good Luck

Very detailed reference for anyone restoring a classic mopar. Very little is left uncovered. Original factory part numbers are included for most parts. A great section on decoding V.I.N. numbers and fender tags. This book also lists most option packages available for the various years. For Concours level restorations this book is a must. I studied it closely before buying my own '69 Charger. This would also be a great source of information for model builders as this book is loaded with pictures and diagrams.

I am currently enrolled In a distanced learning college and was sent this book.The book Is hard to figure out and the problems give you no pretense on who to solve them go with a different book.

This text isn't awful, but it does jump into things a bit quickly for someone who hasn't taken algebra for about a decade. If you need to use this text as part of a college program, I definitely recommend "Forgotten Algebra", ISBN 0812019423 as a refresher (or suppliment) before tackling this text. It will be well worth the extra [money] spent!

College Algebra is well written. The concepts of algebra are thoroughly explained and illustrated with examples. Answers to half the problems are included in the back of the book.

This book is extremely basic (and a bit age-ist). It's fine for someone trying not to look like a fool in their local community theater, but for anyone considering a serious career in professional acting, there are other books that provide a better, more comprehensive, and more practical introduction.

I bought this as one trying to return to the field after a long absence, but found "Breaking Into Acting for Dummies" to be better instead. For the basics of acting in general, Michael Shurtleff's "Audition" is the still the very best investment in a book that you can make.

This book in a compilation of the authors' little acting stories. Some of the stories have some use, but most of which don't. I have done high school shows and a few community theater shows, and yet, still found little information I didn't already know. I'm sure there are other books out there that have more and better information, but hey, if you happen to have a collection of useless acting books, go ahead! Buy it!

This book gives the reader an incite into the acting world never before offered. I highly recommend it to the beginning actor as well as the accomplished thespian. The helpful recommendations for auditioning will be of great value not only to the actor but to the casting directors and producers.

This is a worst concept. The book is good. That's why 2 stars. For the book, alone, I would have given 4 stars. I wouldn't waste my money for any item in this series. Just buy the book.

The book/CD is very nice for learning XML fast, you can run many of the examples as you go through the material when using the CD, which enables you to learn it faster. The book and CD are not bogged down with useless detail (like the Wrox "Professional XML" book is). It's pretty straight to the point, but sometimes you need to go to other sources to fully understand or get more details.
My only complaint is from description, I expected video presentations and great multimedia capabilities. The multimedia is mostly just explanations of sample code line by line and it is all audio, no video. Really you pay alot of extra money for a CD that has the same exact information as the book, so you may want to save some money and just by the book.

I much enjoyed the book that is part of the package. As usual with the authors, I found that the book was concise, to the point, very pedogical and clear. I liked the self-review exercises at the end of each chapter as well.

I also enjoyed the table of content of the book that was obviously designed for programmer (so many introduction xml book avoid all useful topics - DOM, SAX etc). The "bonus" chapters (server-side programming with Java etc) while not useless, sounded a bit like they were there only to fill the book but never mind.

I was very disappointed on the other hand by the CD ROM that came with the book. It only features the text of the book in unattractive format and offer only scant interactive or multimedia material (ok there is an interactive quizz). Reading the publisher description, I had come to expect an actually interactive CD ROM. For this reason, while I would warmly recommend the book as an introduction to XML (one of the best around, with Beginning XML from WROX) I would advice for buying the book alone, not the course package.

Everybody's Knife Bible by Don Paul, 4th edition isn't much of a high tech manual on the practical uses of man's oldest tool. I was very disappointed with this book. I had the 3rd edition and wasn't impressed but wanted to see the "updated" edition and looked forward to the improvements that the older book lacked.

There weren't many improvements. First of all the photographs are very poor as are the sidebars and tables. They look as if the author made them up in his paint program in his word processor. The graphics are just so fuzzy and basic that it detracts from any technical illustrations that the author is trying to make. Some in fact are just barely readable. Most of the illustrations are the same from the 3rd edition. The photo quality was better in the older edition.

Any knife "How To" book in my opinion needs to discuss the various types of steels available. Discussions on edge retention, corrosion resistance, and the practical application, ease of sharpening and carry methods of sheaths, etc. are a must. I see none of that here. It is as if all the knives presented are equally effective for each situation the author is teaching and it is just not so. Some the of the modifications the author recommends would compromise the integrity of any knife not to mention voiding the warranty. For example he recommends lightening a heavy knife by drilling holes in the blade (pg. 141). In my opinion, anyone who does something like that is just asking for trouble. If your knife is too heavy, just get a lighter one. Don't drill holes in it! Would you trust a knife that was drilled by someone to make it more practical? The R & D teams spend a lot of time and money designing their products. If they wanted holes in them, they would have put them there.

Some of the technical instruction is very hard for me to understand. Perhaps it is just me, but I do not think I could practically apply making a clinometer with my knife. Now, I will take one of my old knives and try to do what Mr. Paul is teaching but I don't think copying and pasting the clinometers onto a knife will be very practical for most folks. Perhaps Mr. Paul should design a knife with a clinometer and market it. It would be worth the extra cost to have a truly practical tool with appropriate etchings & engineered holes than for me to try to jury rig it. By the time I get all the drills, engravers, etc. I would have spent more than if the knife was already available.

Most of the knives pictured in the book are from Cold Steel. Now granted, CS makes some fairly decent mid-level knives but I almost get the impression that he is advertising for them. He does have some pictures from Buck and Kershaw but there are other knives out there that have the same or even higher qualities as these brands such as Spyderco, MicroTech, REKAT and Chris Reeve Knives. Also, where are the customs? I don't want my "How To" books just teaching me about the economic plan; I want to hear about what is really good and then I can make my mind up on what I can afford. A chart on the different models and costs would have been helpful.

There is some practical info here and one must always look past the cosmetics to see if they can learn something and I will read this book before I go into the wilds but I think the average knife enthusiast would be better off getting a subscription to one of the modern knife magazines or better yet, visit a site like BladeForums.Com and visit their wilderness section and general discussion forum to get really practical day-to-day info.

I'm sorry this is the way I read this book...hopefully someday, someone will write a book that will really be on the "cutting" edge (sorry!) for the practical application of knives.

After reading through this sloppily-printed, cliche-filled volume I didn't feel like I'd learned much. The author sees knives as tools of endless uses and suggests that the knife owner make any number of novel modifications to the owner's blades. The fact that no knife manufacturer offers any blade with these modifications already incorporated testifies to the value most people see in doing so.

Practical information on knife selection and brands is lacking as is any substantive background in history or metallurgy.

Everybodys Knife Bible is a gem! As an Infantryman and former Ranger Instructor, I thought I knew everything there was about survival, but I was wrong. Don brings us to a time before computers and techno-wizard gadgetry and teaches us to use our knives the way they were meant to be used! From telling time to navigation, this book will enlighten even the most field worthy enthusiast! Don's wealth of experience and humor make this one of the most enjoyable knife books ever. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in the great outdoors. I eagerly await your new book: Conquer Crime, Be Your Own Bodyguard. God bless you, Don Paul.

Paul Ehrlich, the mouthpiece of the enviromental movement, once bet Julian Simon - an anarcho-capitalist $50 in 1980 to see whether overpopulation would cause the Earth's resources to become more rare, and thus, more expensive. Simon let Ehrlich pick the five commodities - Oil, Tungsten, Iron, Gold, and Natural Gas. All 5, ten years later, were either the same - adjusted for inflation - or LOWER in 1990. The world population rose 50% in this time, and the world's per capita income, 20% (really 70% to account for the population). Here in the beginning of 2000, seven years after this book was written, Youth Crime is down (despite the media frenzy over Columbine), the market is way up, unemployment is the lowest since the post-Vietnam recession, and everything is looking hunky-dory. Another "The Sky is Falling" book by another socialist... put this under religion, because no matter what the scientific evidence, the 'scientific' socialists just can't let go of their pet theory.

Capitalism Vs. Capitalism is a book about history that is devoid of history. Individual achievement, far from being the source of any of our current societal woes, is the very source of the modern progress that allows paupers in the West to live better than the emperors of Antiquity. Eighty years of socialism in Europe and the United States has proved unable to squelch the natural aspirations that individual--as opposed to collective--achievement serves.

Capitalism is now without competition : it must find in itself the reasons for being THE economic system for the third millennium. Are we shure it coldn't use some influx from europe ?

While the author seems to know a lot about many of the topics he writes about, he, alas, does not know how to write well about them. Therefore, this book is neither of interest to bad guys (crackers) nor to good guys.

Although this book is informative for someone new to computer security, it tells no new tales for someone who already knows something about computer security.

Almost all the other books have the same information presented here; some of the other books even present the information better. This is NOT a hacker's guide. This is NOT a manual for computer security professionals. This is a book written to earn the author some quick bucks.

The author may very well be knowledgeable, but that knowledge was not presented here in the book.

For a good security book, look elsewhere.

This is a great book. Before i knew anything about hacking i bought this book. Great buy!! helped me on my way! This book isnt for some person to learn everything there is to know about hacking. Its for someone knew to the world of hacking. Your right maybe other books give you more info but hey how many of them cost around 15 bucks! Yeah i remember the last time i had a spare 50+ dollers laying around...NEVER!lol This is a good book and should be on every hackers book shelf. Thanks Dr.K

They say that a million mokeys on typewriters will in an eternity eventually write the works of Shakespear. I give this book 3 monkeys 10 minutes. Definitely Wodehouses worst!

I'd read "A Damsel in Distress" and this could not compare. It was quick and easy to read, but just a little too silly - I think a schoolkid could have done better. It did not have that "unputdownable" quality - I just kept reading it in the hope that it would get better. It didn't. Cute, but that's about it.

Sally is one of Wodehouse's typical girls - charmingly attractive, pert, and witty. And not unaware of the hero's charms! The way she asks him to put out his tongue and gives her diagnosis on it, when he is making declarations of his everlasting love for her, is not so rude as charming! Plum can make his characters say the most outrageous things and still get away with them, and you will still end up holding your sides and laughing at them, and loving them.

The Eyewitness Guides are an oustanding series, so I bought this one without a second thought. Alas, this seems more like a placeholder than a serious attempt at writing a guidebook - a kind of "watch this space" advertisement masquerading as a book. It's so thin, in fact, that the cover seems to sag; the spine is thicker than the pages! The coverage of Oahu is decent, so if you only plan to go to Honolulu, the book might be worthwhile. But the coverage of Kauai (where we spent most of our time) and the Big Island were very poor. I'd very highly recommend the "Ultimate Kauai Guidebook" for Kauai instead.

I am a big fan of Dorling Kindersley Travel Guides, so I was greatly disappointed when I received this pamphlet sized guide to all of Hawaii. It contained slightly more information than I would expect from airport brochures on arrival. With roughly 10 picture covered pages per island, the guide is attractive, but not very useful.

I always use the Eyewitness travel books when I travel to new places. These books are concise and very reader-friendly. The Hawaii guide was extremely useful in planning our honeymoon in Hawaii: we used it to plan all of our activities and were very pleased with the results. Some things are outdated (such as times of Lu'au on Kauai), but overall this book is great.
