This book has such a wonderful approach to parenting. We have gained so much insight in not only how to meet the needs of our child now, but for the rest of her life.

Discipline does not always mean punishment. By closely following the techniques given in this book for "time-outs", I've been able to eliminate several of my toddler's tantrum behaviors (like banging his head on things when he's mad) within one to two days, WITHOUT punishing him. This very special and QUICK AND EASY-TO-READ book teaches parents to teach our kids self-quieting skills that are crucial to their survival in life. I think if all kids were taught to calm themselves down, our society and our world would be a lot more peaceful!

I never even knew that children had "self quieting" skills until I read Dr. C's book. He explains how, if left alone for awhile, most children will quiet down all by themselves, even when they're upset. That's just one of the great tips I learned from this book. In a humorous way, Dr. C points out that, although it may be hard at first to let your child cry out her frustration, no adult in the working world can get by for very long by throwing tantrums. It's this common sense approach to pareting and discipline that makes this book so worthwhile. The book explains how to use discipline appropriate for the age of your child, and what to do if the first suggestion doesn't work. In the back of the book, he's included free hand-outs that you can use to refresh your memory. If you think about it, what Dr. C. is recommending isn't DISCIPLINE at all. He's telling us how to treat our children right the first time, so that we can enjoy having our children around and av! oid actually having to discipline them.

This is it! No sell out, no superstar. Just pure talent that speaks to hearts of all colors. Buy this book and feel alive again.

Danny literally loses his mind in one of his monologues and then comes back and brings ther performer back to the reality of the performance all for the audience sake. He will take you past the little pretensions of PC communication and blow all the "decent" rules of language and discourse out the door. He will inspire you with madman honesty AND with great craft.

There is a thin line between madman and genius...this is truly the case with Danny Hock. The show is brilliant, the book is just as inspiring and awesome. The intensity and passion provided in the monologues will elevate you to another level, another plane and another world. Danny will be the tour guide and lead you through the multifaceted lands of his. This is a must have collection for all of us...readers, poets, actors, teachers and art-lovers.

The minute I opened this book and began to browse the table of contents, I found at least two solutions immediately relevent to things I'm currently working on. I can't wait to see what else I get from this book.

Superbly written and organized by computer and consumer electronics expert Danny Goodman, JavaScript & DHTML Cookbook is a computer guide that focuses on how to improve the appearance and value of a web page. Compiled from the collective wisdom and experience of countless webpage scripters, JavaScript & DHTML Cookbook is filled from cover to cover with "how-to" enhancements including from simple ways to better position HTML elements; as well as creating visual effects from stationary content, user-friendly page navigation ideas, working with interactive forms, and so much more. The JavaScript & DHTML Cookbook is strongly recommended for both novice and professional website designers.

It's a sad reality, but the vast majority of the JavaScript and DHTML available is ugly, hard to, read, inflexible, poorly structured and full of kludges... This makes a cookbook written by such a talented technical writer as Goodman more welcomed than ever, his writing style is, as always, pleasant and engaging, and his attention to browser compatibility issues worth a special mention. Unlike many other cookbook I read in the past, I really enjoy all the discussions that goes along with the recipes, this isn't only a book you may want to open in search for a solution, read it, use it wisely and it may turn itself into a great learning experience

This story draws you in from the first page, and keeps you captive until the very end. By reading Danny's letters, you feel like you are getting an intimate view of his character. This is clearly the best book I've read within the last five years.

This is a wonderful story that can be enjoyed by all. The author did a great job of getting me involved in Danny Coyle's life and to really care about him. I could not stop reading Danny's letters. I highly recommend this book.

The book was great. You could sense that the author has been there himself, lost and searching for answers. Uneducated and looking for acceptance. Just when you think that you know the outcome, the plot thickens.

This is a one sit, can't put it down story. I look forward to his next offering, maybe some sort of Dailey journal.

Yet another dazzling kaleidoscopic collage of stunningly magnificent illustrations.

It has been said that "comedians tell funny stories and humorists tell stories funny.' By that definition, then Tom Wilson is a humorist. MANLY ADVENTURES II is a cleverly illustrated book by the 'Ray Ramano' of the written word.

An ingenious and insightful collection of worldly observations. A compilation of possible historical significance.

This book presents the best games of the 1970's from eight of the leading grandmasters of the time, including Jan Timman and Kasparov! Good biographical information included. This is a reprint of a 1980 publication in algebraic notation, and is actually a much better book than most of the new games collections that are currently being published these days.

If this was a stock, in 5 days the price would be pushed up so much peaple couldn't buy it. Why? This book is that good. Get this book before it A. goes out of stock B. increases in price. However, even if it goes up like 6 dollars it would still be a buy. Obviously I liked the book. Why? Because I learned some interesting stuff about the players making chess more personalized and Kopec and Prichet really analyze there styles. They say a lot of interesting things about the players, the question is do the predictions hold the test of time. The answer with Kasparov is yes!! These games are very interesting and for people who want to see what style they may have they can do no wrong by taking a look to see which player fits them. The players include: Walter Browne, Kasparov, Timman, Andersson, Ljubovic, Miles (recently deceaced), Ripli and maybe a few others I forgot. Anyway you will find someone you like and can follow and learn from for a long time. So buy this book and learn and enjoy while watching your game improve!!

BUY BUY BUY!! If this was a stock I would own the company. This is a great book. Games from all kinds of people from Gary Kasparov to the technical master Andersson. I loved reading the blurb about these guys you really get to learn about them as people. This makes chess more human. The games are amazing. They really summarize how the players play. ALso see if their predictions hold up? The one about Kasparov taking on Karpov does!! I learned a lot about the following interesting people and am waiting for their games to help mine: Tony miles (who passed away recently), Jan Timman, Walter browne, Ulf Andersson, Robert Hubner, Zoltan Ribili, Ljubomir Ljubojevic, and Kasparov. I loved the parts about Ljubojevic and Kasparov. They have great styles which are becoming more popular (thank goodness) that is to ATTACK! Enjoy this book its a deal and a half.

Written at a High School level, this is a quite literate and well developed treatment of The Hulk, Spiderman, and The Black Cat in novel form. It has all the action and story value of the comics. For newcomers, there's enough exposition to introduce the characters, done briefly enough not to annoy old-timers well acquainted with the Marvel Universe.

There's reasonable complexity here. Neither the heroes nor the bad guys are completely working together since each has his or her own agenda. Added to that is the S.A.F.E. agent working under cover representing government but not necessarily in the best interests of the heroes. And so there are easily enough complications to keep a mature reader interested.

This isn't a bad book at all for those who want to get better acquainted with the not altogether jolly green giant before they see the movie. Just bear in mind that the Hulk's creators made him a reasonable 7 footer as opposed to the 12 foot creature in the movie. Note also that the character has developed in several ways over the years and so you might find his characterization in this book somewhat different than the movie characterization.

Worth reading, even if you're way past High School age.

This book is great. It is a great beginin for a great trilogy. Though this book takes place in present time, some events go as far back as when doom tried to steal surfer's power. If you thought that the hulk we bad news, then try to imagiane fourteen hulks on the ramapge and one of them being Flash Thompson spidy's close friend and being controld by a mad man. I recomnd this series as a must buy.

I've never liked Fingeroth or Fein as writers, so I almost didn't buy this book, but I was pleasantly surprised. And I love SAFE, who have been in a lot of the Marvel novels. The idea of Hulk clones is kind of goofy, but they made it work here.

Two original devices set There are No Limits apart from other inspirational texts, and in order to fully appreciate Danny Cox's book, you'll have to make full use of both. At regular intervals throughout the course of the book, Cox inserts "Immediate Actions" and "Points to Ponder." By suggesting through these sections concrete steps that you can take right away, the book surpasses many of its peers, which often fail to find ground amid lofty hyperbole. But the practical nature of this book can only be realized if you actually take the recommended steps as you read, and gloss over some jargon-laden prose ("Appoint yourself the dean of Every Day University"). Cox, an Air Force veteran, draws on his personal experiences, as well as those of high-profile celebrities and authors to illustrate his ideas. While he wrote the book for a general audience, we recommend it particularly to salespeople, or those charged with managing or motivating a sales force.

Danny Cox helps the average person (like me) achieve above average goals and dreams. Are you stuck in an endless cycle of daily routines? Never think of what you want to achieve, but only how you can achieve for others, then this book is for you! I was particularly helped by the ten behaviors cultivated by barrier breakers and the a-c-c-e-l-e-r-a-t-e points. Tis book has been very encouraging to me, a church planter out on my own working two jobs, with a family of five. I have dared again to set my eyes on goals and dreams that I previously thought were only fantasies! What would I achieve if I had a Danny Cox motivating me daily! Well this book is a good start!

Danny Cox shows the average person (like me) how to break through the mediocrity that threatens us all. He provides practical insight and keys to breaking through the personal barriers we surround ourselves with. If only we all had a Danny Cox cheering us on every day!

This is a cool book. Great pictures and good copy although I would have liked more details. In that it was primarily written about the Mid-West, it focuses on the OUTLAWS MC and the roots of the club. It's always good to find information about other 1% clubs (since the HELLS ANGELS MC has always been the major focus of most "outlaw biker books"), however more details on other clubs would have been a plus. It does remind one that there was a time when the OUTLAWS and ANGELS could ride and party together and didn't feel a need to shoot each other on sight. It's also helps us remember that the early outlaws bikers didn't all ride Harleys. While I believe the book's a little pricey, if you're into Outlaw Bikers, this should be in your collection.

If you're interested in bikes, the biker lifestyle, or how the 'outlaw' subculture developed, you must invest in this book. Danny Lyon rode with the Chicago Outlaws in the early sixties and his photographs form a unique visual documentary about the life of the early bike rebels. The photographs are superb; the accompanying texts revealing and fascinating. If nothing else, this book illustrates the origins of the Harley-Davidson 'chopper' and the prevalence of British bikes in motorsport 40 years ago. Simply one of - if not the - finest books on motorcycle culture ever published.

This is one of the best books ever done on the sixties biker culture. It is filled with testimonials and pictures, the kinds that you don't see anywhere else. It's fantastic that this book has been re-released because originals are next to impossible to come across!

I am learning Java and have briefly used two other books that just confused me by trying to explain Object Oriented Programming by showing examples of complex Java code. If you aren't familiar with OOP and want to learn Java, this is a great place to start.

This a very nice book to get your fundamentals and concepts of java. Do not expect to learn java syntax. A little bit of programming experience would be very helpful before buying this

The beauty of this book is not in it's coverage of OO programming or of Java, but how it melds the two together to bring a greater understanding of both to the novice reader. Each new topic covered builds on previous chapters, and the reader never feels like the authors assume any knowledge not covered in the text.

Code snippets are surprisingly concise, and free of annoying syntax errors that could confound the novice developer.

The book begins with several chapters introducing basic OO concepts and gradually introduces and increasing amount of Java code and delving into the Java API.

The middle portion of the book covering the core concepts of OO development (Inheritance, Encapsulation, and Polymorphism.) It then goes on to cover slightly more advanced concepts such as Exception Handing, socket programming with TCP/IP, JDBC, multi-threading.

The book does provide good coverage AWT model and GUI construction. Sadly, the it does not include coverage of Swing.

To date, it's the best ground up coverage I have found for both Java and OO basics. Experienced C/C++ developers may find it a bit slow paced.

For those interested in following up with a more advanced guide for Java 2 certification, I'd consider A Programmer's Guide to Java Certification by Khalid Azim Mughal, Rolf Rasmussen. It's a great certification prep and also a good core language reference.
