Do yourself a favor. If you already love the book Applications Programming in ANSI C by Richard Johnsonbaugh, buy this book as well. Try practice programs and check with the solution to make sure how they suppose to be written. This is a good practice for starter.

This is an excellent photography book, but the clothing in here is mostly from the 80's and not my favorite era in terms of fashion. There is some wonderful clothes, and some terrible clothes. The information is great, tells of inspirations and what the particular piece was based on. The best parts of this book are the photography and the information accompanying the photographs. I lovev Gianni's work, but some of the stuff in here is just not worthy... but it was the 80's, And I suppose it was stylish then. I'd recommend for any die hard versace fans.

If you want to read this book you do need to have an extensive knowledge of the Greek language. If you can't read Greek, don't buy this book! If you can, it is a very interesting lecture course (1924-1925) and interpretive essay by Heidegger. Leiden, Holland

Did Josh Sims do this book?
There are tons of other designers you might want their oppinion on rock n roll instead of all american tommy. He hasn't designed for Rockers in my eyes..

dear readers and viewers
just a quick note to say that I had nothing to do with this Hilfiger product. Mine ('Rock fashion') is a different book.
I like to get the record straight....
Happy reading

dear readers and reviewers
just a quick note to say that this Hilfiger product is nothing to do with me! Mine ('Rock Fashion') is a different book altogether. I like to get the record straight...
Happy reading.

This is the worst book I have read so far. There are so many errors in the book! And all descriptions about J2ME are vague. It's really a pity that I spent my money on this useless book.
Don't buy this book!!!

If you are a developer and eager to find resource on Java Mobile development, this book must disappoint you. This book just give you a general java mobile concept. May be this technology is too green so that all topics are not in depth to discuss with very limited examples.

The worse of this book is some examples just show the source code only with no any demonstration of the program running or even the complied result and that made people hard to understand what the source code mean.

If you see the content that this book cover MIDP for Palm. Don't believe this, this book is only cover the early stage of java KVM in Palm but not included the current Sun MIDP for Palm OS

I found this book very useful for getting to grips with the wide range of technologies available for Java platform on mobile devices. It's strong point is the breadth of subjects covered and not the depth. However, if like me, you prefer to get on to a quick start and the get deeper into the subject on a "as needed" basis this book will provide it. It got me up to date and able to continue on my own from the first three chapters.
If you are already an experienced J2ME developer then the case studies will show how others have tackled some J2ME problems. If you are a beginner then you will get a complete treatment of the range of technologies.

The editor, Andrew Ross, describes this book as "an expanded edition" of a special issue of the journal "Social Text". Potential readers should be warned however that it is also an expurgated edition, from which Alan Sokal's celebrated parody of of recent socio-cultural jargon has been suppressed. One understands Professor Ross's chagrin at the cruel and unusual joke that Professor Sokal practised on him. However, the unadvertised deletion of Sokal's contribution is a hoax on the buyers of "Science Wars" who naturally expect to find in it the one item of the original publication that has received worldwide attention.

The subsequent reviewer found the current tome missing in scholarship, merely by not having reprinted Sokal's piece from the social text issue of the same name (science wars). If one cared to read through the book, however, one would notice a number of quite specific reasons for this: among these that the book is meant as a counter argument to Sokal, Levitt & Gross's readings of their fave foe: pomos and other dangerous 'leftists' (what does this mean?). It is no secret that these authors are fired by a profound hostility and unwillingness to engage with the material with which they are dealing. This has already been shown ad nauseam in the litterature (see for instance Callon's review in social studies of science). Nevertheless this book stands as a nice response to some of the worst nonsense that has come out of the sokal/gross tradition. Specifically one should not miss Hart's devastating analysis of Gross et al's 'scientific neutrality' and their analytical abilities in Higher Superstition. Other pieces such as Mike Lynch's are good too; some however, are merely perpetuating the current stand off in a nasty 'war' (among these both of Ross's pieces). So is this review, I presume. That said, I should stop. Read both sides before you judge, you might get to know a good bit about rhetorical wars from the putatively neutral and objective scientists (sokal, gross, koertge etc).

This book had a cute idea but was poorly made. I was very disappointed with the whole flap thing. Most flap books have sturdy flaps that you lift up or down and they are on the actual page...this one has flaps that are attached to the binding of the book, so it's like an extra page only it's 1/4 the size. When you turn the real page, the flap on the next page is already up so you don't get a chance to "guess" at anything because the thing never stays flat. Also, the characters/objects are located in the middle where the binding is, so you can't appreciate the illustration because the view is obscured by the binding. Whoever decided to make this a flap book needed a lesson in "Flap Books 101". It COULD HAVE been a good flap book if they hadn't revolved everything around the binding.

I bought this book, but sent it back immediately. Unless you're a screenplay-writing-student, this book is of little value to you. It literally goes like this:

Man screams: AARGH! Woman cries: What are you doing? Couple leaves room.

All in all: think carefully if this is what you need. Don't buy it just for the scary cover!

Not one of these stories was the least bit frightening. Some of them are so jaw-droppingly bad I can't believe the authors actually allowed them to be published without using pen names. Many of these screenplays bear all the marks of first-time screenwriters: boring protagonists, antagonists acting without any apparent motivation, page after page of dull padding... I can't list even the obvious problems in the 1000 words I'm allowed here. The writing styles range from Stephen King's "creative asides" which attempt to educate the reader in the art of screenwriting by telling us what to write instead of showing us, to Ed Gorman's rip-off of William Goldman's style (next time he should rip off a decent story, too). In all, the book includes four feature-length scripts, two shorts, and one 50 pager. In the title for this review I said "Six awful screenplays;" the seventh is a short by Harlan Ellison which isn't exactly horror, but it's a cute little murder story with a surprising yet inevitable ending. That and Dean Koontz's introduction are the high points of this book.
