A photo book every collector should grab before its price hits the roof. A sensitive, searing portrait of the life of two young boys as they hold off their photo-screwball of a father as he chases them across the page. Catch-it! A clever and beautiful use of album photography.

Working with JavaScript is certainly becoming more and more a part of the web pages I am involved with, from wanting a clock to form validation to buttons. There is so many things and uses for JavaScript that the list seems endless.

What I found most helpful about this book was not only was the cd filled with over 300 pre-written scripts, but that the book also has coding examples for you to follow and learn from. For me learning JavaScript is a challenge and using the examples in this book has certainly it easier to produce quality JavaScripts.

Overall an excellent add-on the already highly successful JavaScript Bible, as you'll see when you look at the chapter headings. For example Chapter 1 in this book refers to chapter 15 in the JavaScript Bible.

The first 9 chapters of the manual outline the elements that must be considered when establishing a business. These chapters have condensed the topics, on which other authors have written volumes, to a reasonable level that allows a person to evaluate his situation. It may help that person to decide yea or nay on moving to the next step. I have an advantage over most since my business is the result of an expanded hobby after retiring as a professional engineer and not for my livelihood.

Chapters 10 to 18 of the manual are very readable, understandable and reasonably comprehensive for laying out, cutting, assembling, finishing and installing kitchen cabinets. The combination of European construction and North American styling produces cabinets that are sound and attractive. The manual was my 'bible' when I built my first cabinets and installed them. The various tables such as thoser on pages 68, 75, 76 and 85 coupled with the diagrams eliminates the need to do calculations in cutting pieces for any size standard cabinet. The author's step by step descriptions and procedures can be considered 'idiot-proof' for completing a successful project.

Chapters 19 to 22 on pricing, computers, proposals and reference sources finishes off a manual that can used as an excellent reference for a successful buiness in kitchen cabinetmaking.

The customer of my first kitchen that I mentioned above, is still very pleased with her kitchen and is quick to show it off to anyone that will look and listen, as related to me by her husband. I could have completed the project on my own without the manual but I am convinced that I, and my customer, would have suffered much grief and time delays.

I have also reviewed Danny Proulx's "Build Your Own Kitchen Cabinets". It is very similar to The Kitchen Cabinetmaker's Building and Business Manual but eliminnates the business part. It has more explanation and more diagrams so will be easier to follow.

I read this book when a was a very young child. It happened to be the first book that I had ever read. The story was also very meaningful for someone of my age, so I'd strongly recommend this book.

This book is a delight. The secret of Danny Thomas's long career comes through in this fascinating book. He clearly loved and took great pride in his wonderful family, thoroughly enjoyed his career, was grateful to all those who helped him on his way, gave back to the community -- and of course, he knew how to tell a great story! The details of his early show business career were particularly interesting as was the story about the founding of St. Jude's hospital. I don't usually read celebrity biographies but this is a good account of a life well spent and I'm glad I happened to read it.

This was a great book, with clean humor appropriate for the whole family. I was laughing so hard, tears came down my face. I recommend this book to anybody who has every gone fishing, been in an airplane, or has a father. It is filled with great stories.

"A play should educate and entertain," said Carlos Morton, using his Univ. of Calif., Riverside, professor voice, in a 1989 LATIN AMERICAN THEATRE REVIEW (LATR) interview by Lee A. Daniel of Texas Christian University. This 1983 anthology was the first published of Morton's plays. It includes "The Many Deaths of Danny Rosales" (1976), "Rancho Hollywood" (1980), "Los Dorados" (The Golden Ones, 1978), and "El Jardin" (The Garden, 1975). (Dates represent year of first production.) Morton was born in Chicago, Ill., but his father's military career necessitated moves to other cities in the U.S. and Latin America. The playwright's escapades as a young man included hitchhiking to Buenos Aires, Argentina, and back in nine months so that he could improve his Spanish. It was his grandfather who lifted the surname "Morton" from a Morton Salt billboard; the name change worked like a charm for grandpa Carlos Perez who finally reeled in a job the first time he used it. (See Alicia Arrizon's bio on Morton in CHICANO WRITERS, 2nd ser., DICTIONARY OF LITERARY BIOGRAPHY, vol. 122.)

The spark for "The Many Deaths of Danny Rosales" was a NEW YORK TIMES clipping about the 1975 murder of a 26-year-old Chicano construction worker by the police chief of a rural Texas town near San Antonio. A slap-on-the-hand sentence dispensed as justice mobilized Chicanos to request a federal investigation. Morton read through court transcripts and interviewed local residents. The courtroom drama was written with input from Morton's fellow M.F.A. students at Univ. of Calif., San Diego (UCSD). The actual names of the people connected to the criminal incident were used in that 1977 version. However, their names and the play's title were changed when Morton reworked the script in 1980 for the Bilingual Foundation of the Arts in Los Angeles. The play "is seemingly calculated to rouse the audience from their seats directly into a protest rally," wrote TIME magazine in 1988. It won Joseph Papp's 2nd National Latino Playwriting Contest in 1986.

In 1995 I saw a production of "Rancho Hollywood" performed by Grupo de Teatro Sinergia at Unity Arts Center Theatre in Los Angeles. The playwright was in attendance. "Rancho" is a tongue-in-cheek account of California history beginning with the territory's collision with Manifest Destiny. It's also a parody of the popular Ramona pageant, officially designated California's State Outdoor Play, based on Helen Jackson's 1884 novel RAMONA of a doomed romance between an indigenous man and a Spanish senorita. As the play opens, they're busily filming "Ye Olde California Days." The movie's cast of characters includes Governor Rio Rico and his family. (The truth is the last Mexican governor of California was Pio Pico; Morton's "Rancho" character names have a tendency to wink back.) The playwright pulls out all the stops to get clear shots at culturally disparaging cartoon media stereotypes and "it-don't-hold-water" racial prejudices.

"Los Dorados" (The Golden Ones) can be thought of as a prequel to "Rancho Hollywood" though "Dorados" was written first. It's a seriocomic reconstruction of the initial meetings between a California indigenous tribe self-named the Kemyia and the invading Spanish soldiers and missionaries. The characters occasionally access a contemporary frame of mind, which creates a cognitive dissonance leading to laughter or reflection, perhaps both.

"El Jardin" is a Chicano musical spin on the Adam-and-Eve myth (Adam-vs.-Eve is more like it). Bennett B. McClellan in a 1977 LATR review wrote, "Given the context of the play, and the stage of development of Chicano theatre, I perceive that it is a work of great innovation and even daring." (It was called "El Garden" for the 1976 UCSD production to advertise that the play was not wholly in Spanish.) John Igo for the SAN ANTONIO LIGHT said of Guadalupe Cultural Arts Center's 1983 production, "It's toughminded and hurtful, wise and silly, pious and profane, primitive and subtle, but unfailingly interesting." La Serpiente (The Serpent) and a "Just-Do-It!" Eva play against Dios (God) and a stick-in-the-mud Adan. The characters are jerked from a paradise of ignorance...to the year of Christopher Columbus...to the top of an Aztec pyramid where Eva eats tuna (prickly pear) from the Forbidden Tree..to the suburbs of Chicago...to land in the middle of the Chicano movement. Sounds like a familiar journey, doesn't it?

Danny Siegel writes about the classic stories of human existence. Stories from the ancients and from the moderns about how we live our lives.

Poetry and prose combine to give a great reading - it is easy and enjoyable reading. Don't miss it!

Wow! A great little volume designed for the 11-14 year old crowd. The power of these early teens and the changes that they can make in the world is unbelievable.

Learn how to make the world a better place to be, and how you can do it yourself. What was great was that so much can be learned from this little volume and not just for kids - adults, too!

I like this book because it is brief and to the point, but also because it made me think about stuff that most books on multiculturalism ignore -- like the importance of white studies, and the need to really think about assessment practices or tracking practices. The sections on community involvement were very useful. So were the sections on postmodern ways to understand identity. This author makes all of these confusing theories directly relevant to my work! Finally, a book that is cutting edge and also useful to practitioners!
