This book would have benefited from careful proof reading. The are many examples of incorrect captions and diagrams with crucial information absent. If the publishers are not willing to at least include an errata sheet this book could be a disaster for the novice!

From pinhole cameras to modern autofocus, this is the best learning textbook available that I've seen. Easy to read and written in simple layman's terms, it can improve the pictures you take and simplify the science of light.

Although not as scholarly and thorough as Steven Foster's book on Echinacea, this book is a good introduction to Echinacea.

This book only deals with 2 stroke models. This information is not displayed on Amazon's listing.

Unfortunately, this was the first JavaScript book I ever purchased. I leafed through the book, hoping to learn how to script. Instead what I got were long, complicated, unexplained examples of code. This books shows HTML and JavaScript solutions for specific applications, with the HTML code looking more attractive than the JavaScript. Perhaps you can rip the code right from the book and use it on your site, if you so desire, but you will end up learning absolutely nothing about scripting. This book will serve me well by keeping me warm in the winter.

The book is not the best book on Javascript, but it is very helpful. I'm not sure why someone gives this book one star and claims that it is only good for a fireplace. Definitley, the problem is not with the book !!.

I read the book from cover to cover. Then I read the appendices full through twice. And then I began reading the book again. Still, I don't have a complete knowledge of JavaScript. I can't write even the simplest javascript without making it a mirror of one that is in the book. I don't believe the book explains the structure of JavaScript. It explains what all the different functions, properties, methods, and event handlers do, and gives some good ideas of what to do with JavaScript. However, it doesn't explain how to put it all together. Keep in mind, I am a Junior at Oklahoma State University studying in the Computer Science department. I have a 3.70 gpa. This shows that I am not incapable of learning JavaScript, but that I have the necessary skills that the book recommends a person know before reading the book.

I felt this book gave a good understanding of the traditional versus modern life i the Phillipines. I felt this book could have been written better but it wasn't so, I only gave it 2 stars

Although the author of this book had good intentions, he based the entire book on a wrong scriptural interpretation: that Samson was a man trying to mask his fears of acting tough, or as the author calls it, "The Samson Trap". But the Bible itself does not indicate this. The Bible does not say that Samson was afraid of anything. The author, and many other writers, focus on the negative aspects of Samson's character, while the only place where the Bible gives a direct commentary on Samson's life describes him in an extremely positive light (Hebrews 11:32-38). His weaknesses can only be accurately studied in the light of his strength, which is his faith in God's grace despite his own weaknesses and failures. Vincent Cheung and Phil Stanton give much more accurate teachings on Samson. Vincent Cheung's teaching on Samson can be found at this web site, FaithPower.com.
