This book is helpful for beginers and advanced programmer

This book was definitely an effective tool in helping me learn and implement CL into my development techniques. I definitely recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn CL or just wants a good reference book on hand

Being new to the AS/400, I ordered this book to learn about AS/400 CLP. This is an excellent, one or two semester college-level course on AS/400 Control Language Programming. Get off by yourself and go through this book chapter by chapter, doing the exercises, and by the time you are finished, you will feel confident about your ability to do CL programming! Excellent reference book also!

Nice, broad collection of popular music. I play them in a
restaurant. My customers keep telling me how much they
appreciate the music.

This book contains the most satisfying piano arrangements of popular music that I am aware of. This is a gem in a vast sea of mediocre sheet music. Much if not most of the sheet music available has lifeless harmonization. When performing the typical arrangement, the performer strains to imagine the beauty of the original recording but realizes the voices, instruments and percussion are all missing. With all this missing the song has no soul and hence no reason to be performed.

The solos of this Dan Coates edition tower above all of the other popular edition books I own. Coates' arrangements allow the pianist to perform as a soloist. Rather than following the harmony of the original recordings like a drone, Coates' skillfully harmonizes and tailors these songs to beauty of the piano.

These songs are a joy to perform. Anyone who buys this book will have opportunity to sound like a professional.

For any pianist who plays for weddings, receptions, formal dinners, or other secular functions, this book will be an invaluable asset. Dan Coates' signature easy listening-style piano arrangements will enhance the mood and atmosphere of any social gathering. Perfect for background music in a crowd, or to play for your own pleasure and satisfaction, these medium-to-difficult arrangements will make anyone sound like a professional.

My boy's first tattered book! This is a great book to read to a 2-year old. I like the rhyming.

BTW, I went to MSU with Jef's wife. Hi Jef, Hi Patti!

I am from Jef's Hometown and could not believe it when i saw his name as author on this book! So it makes it even more special to "know" the author! I have read it to all my children's classes and it is on the "request" list for our school library-I hope to donate a few copies! This book had such imagination and rhyme from start to finish! The illustrations were just as wonderful! Sincerely, The Mersino Family!

Dangerous Dan, Adventure Man was bright and bold and brave.... We've memorized the first few pages of the book -- all of us including our 7,5 and 3 year olds. Having read the book over a hundred times already, we never seem to tire of the antics of this naughty little boy. Maybe my guys like it because Dangerous Dan resembles them in so many ways. Whatever the case, your kids will love this book...especially if your kids happen to be little boys

I learned to spin records, but I did not make mony until I bought this book! NOW YOU CAN MAKE MONEY TOO! Like they say, "YOU'VE GOT THE TALENT, NOW GET DOWN TO BUSINESS!"

Using a well structured down-to-earth approach...this guide on how to start and run a successful Mobile DJ service is right on the mark!

I got this book and put together my business plan by using the example plan provided in the book. The business plan is in a file that can be edited by downloading it from a Web site that goes with the book - It was a snap, after I downloaded the biz plan example. With my finished business plan in hand, I secured a loan that financed all my pro equipment purchases.

I've been Djing for several months and wanted to learn more about business planning and what I needed to do to start a business of my own. I found what I needed and more with this book and the Web site that goes with it. I highly recommend this book with its business and equipment tips and tricks.

Dan shares with his readers the same 7 step program that he has used to position many of our clients to potentially save millions of dollars that might have been lost to Federal estate, income and capital gains taxes. His uncanny ability to put estate planning into understandable terms makes this book, and his plan, clear, concise and extremely compelling.

Dan Nigito showed me how I could protect my life's work from tax devastation for my children, multiply it without tax for my grandchildren, while avoiding capital gains taxes and picking up a tax deduction for Betty and myself! The Family Foundation we created will keep our philanthropic legacy alive long after we're gone. And we did it all with money we would have lost to taxes anyway! Take his advice and Don't Die Until You Read This!

"Dan Nigito has a very entertaining style, which combines dry wit with real life examples. In the years I've known him, I've come to respect how clearly he can explain a complex subject. His sense of humor and step-by-step action plan make this book a joy to read." John J. Shaw, President of the NFL World Champion St. Louis Rams

Being raised in the lifestyle of dusty cowcamps located in Owyhee County, Idaho. I can truly appreciate and so will you, the realism and pride that David Stocklein has taken in compling this magnificient book. Photography and short stories of cowboy tradition, so real, you too, will wish you were a part of this unique and exciting land. Ira Walker, Chuck Hall, Herb Mink, Tom Hall and many more cowboys, will tell of family stories, first jobs, unique talents, special dogs, horses, mules and the people, who have made their lives interesting and memorable. This corner of the west has produced many fine men, you will get to know a few of them on a first hand basis. Gather round the fireplace, pull up a cozy chair and a light, as you will be reading through the dark hours. Once you pick up, "Don't Fence Me", you'll not put it down until your finished. At the end of the book, Stocklein includes closing pictures of assorted ranch families and cowboy groups. A final tribute to those who have rode their way through history atop a horse, all the while viewing Gods Country.

The first time I laid eyes on David Stoecklein's "Don't Fence Me In", I wanted to quit my job and move to a working ranch in Idaho. This book is full of breathtaking photos of the American Cowboy and the land he works on. Unfortunatly, the art work around the cover is an eyesore and some of the page layouts interfer with the Mr. Stoecklein's fine work. This book is for sure worth the money.

This is an excellent and realistic book about cowboys, what's important to them, and the gorgeous Western US. The photography is breathtaking - makes you feel as though you're right there ropin' with 'em! The information about horses, cattle, land, family, and attitudes is also well-written. And the Cowboy Contract sets the stage for it all. If you love the West and everything about it - you should have this book!

The book includes a number of useful and detailed referral scripts that can be used in many different situations that make asking and getting referrals a natural part of your profession.

Dan Bodanis'new book "Drumming Up referrals" cuts to the chase on how to build your business without forever making cold calls and marketing to new clients.

This book has several levels to play from, two hands, one hand notes, and one hand numbers, all together. This makes it easy to advance with both hands. For the more experienced player the tunes have the chords and enough changes in key to play a lot of nice songs quickly. Has sections for whatever mood you may feel like playing that day, such as show tunes, hits, and seasonal favorites. Large for easy reading and well worth adding to your collection.

If you like the classic songs from popular music to show tunes in an easy to read format, this is for you. It gives suggested settings for keyboard and melody line with chords. It also has easy to play treble and bass, but experienced musicians will be able to fill in as desired.

Dan McNeill does a very thorough job in discussing the face. From evolution, culture, physiology, and psychology. I was very impressed with the amount of research he went through, who knew the ear alone had such a long and rich history?

The two aspects of the book I found most interesting were the evolutionary background of each feature of the face from the obvious (ie. the mouth) to the not so obvious (ie. the eyebrow) and his own philisophical meanderings into the standards of beauty.

He also discusses facial expressions, differences in facial structure among different races, comparisons to other species, facial augmentation including piercings and plastic surgery, as well as a brief and not too complicated study in anatomy.

My only caution is that I hoped that there would be more illustrations to accompany some of his text, but McNeill is a lively author and this is definately a good nonfiction read. I can't stress his thoroughness enough so that there's something in there for everyone, from the hardcore scientist to the curious layperson.

Everything the amazon.com review says up there is true. A well-written, well-rounded, fascinating, funny and sometimes poetic book-- but also big fun for science-heads like me! It is so lovely when books can draw from biological, evolutionary, historical, psychological, sociological, literary and cultural perspectives at the same time (and more, I just got tired of listing ologies). The antidote to the other kind of specialised learning.

How many things can be said about our faces and from how many points of view!

Apart from the deep interest of the topic itself, in the richness of the aspects addressed, the book is wonderfully written and this alone makes it worth reading. McNeill has the rare gift of an enjoyable, entertaining expression which translates into a fluent and brilliant narrative. There have been many pages where, like in a conjurer's trick, the author sprang up from the printed words and took shape at my side as a sort of domestic conteur, accompanying me while slowly walking around my kitchen's table where I use to read books in a slow, tacit peripatetic rite, away from the TV set and the PC. Since my childhood's years I have been almost totally incapable to read without moving: the phenomenon started with a rhythmic oscillation of the legs and went further through successive stages of mild agitation, until it peacefully settled into a stable circular - I dare say, mandalic - form of ambulation: maybe this quality of mine as a reader can be deciphered in some trait of my face, let's say, the way I laugh or the way I look at people when I speak close in front of them.

Who knows which mysterious relationships our inner world establishes with our faces and in which way they tend to show externally, when perceived by the others!

McNeill takes you in the heart of this constant link between souls and faces, between life and facial expression and appearance. But, although the book never descends to the level of an arid exposition of facts and findings, don't believe its content escapes the filter of a rigorous scientific approach.

On the contrary, each assertion, while light and elegant in its wording, rests upon a solid background of careful observation and experiment. Few books are so poetically taxonomic, only that definition and category disappear from view disguised in a masterful reporting. You pass from a detailed examination of facial muscles (now I know which one to blame for my forehead wrinkles: the corrugator!) to the typical clues which may give you away as a lying hypocrite. Anecdotally overabundant the book gets you acquainted with lots of characters and ideas picked up from a vast segment of the history of thought. Psychology, neurology, physiognomy, social behaviour and cultural traditions are all deeply searched in order to extract meaning out of faces. But perhaps the most important lesson you are taught is that when you cope with faces - of course starting with your own - you should be quite careful not to take all at its face value.

So my advice is: read this beautiful book, then watch yourself straight in the eyes in front of a mirror and honestly tell me if you really see the same person as before.
