This is a fascinating read...the entire Bloomberg series is fantastic but this book and Bloomberg's book on IPOs are great. The book points out valuable readings and web sites to utilize. I would say this book ranks up with the best.

I have always been interested in low-priced stocks. As a preteen, I used to look at the stock tables in the American Stock Exchange, where I found many low priced stocks, and pretended that I was buying and selling. As I got older I have remained loyal to buying low priced stocks, but only after much investigation. "Mastering Microcaps" teaches strategies that I have used, and many that I plan to use. Another very helpful book that compliments this title that has been valuable is MAKING DOLLARS WITH PENNIES: HOW THE SMALL INVESTOR CAN BEAT THE WIZARDS ON WALL STREET by R. Max Bowser. Both books contain strategies for stock selection, when to buy and when to sell. I recommend "Mastering Microcaps" to everyone who has a love for small companies with great futures.

This is a great book for leaning how to do parametric design in Mechanical Desktop. More than a simple follow the example book. Offers insight about the various options.

I found the book well written and to the point. It took me from a new Desktop user to productive in a minimal amount of time. I feel Mr. Banach should be congratulated for writing this book. I searched different sites on internet and it was one of the very few I could find on the subject. Much easier to use more intuitive than the Tutorial in Desktop

aretha,elvis,bb king,jerry lee lewis,duke ellington sam cooke, al green,ray charles,helen humes,james brown, tina turner,the snearly ranch boys.. they all lived in or came to memphis to perform and record. this collection of images which spans four decades provides rare insight into the talent that was atrracted to and lived in this city which was the gateway from the oppression of mississippi.withers' photographs seem alive with the youth and exuberance of these young, legends in the making. the subjects seem oblivious to the camera and withers must have had carte blanche to capture the enegy and private moments of these american icons. any serious student of this country and the roots of its traditions should have this volume.daniel wolff has done all of us a favor in publishing the work of withers. it appears he has just scratched the surface

Ernest Withers is perhaps one of the true champions of the American civil rights movement and also one of the most important photographers of this century. In a gracious and unassuming manner, he was witness to a good deal of the civil rights events in the South, his weapon of eloquence - a camera. This book assembles some of his photographs of the blues and the rhythm and blues scene in Memphis. I cannot compare it to any other work, because it is unique and as much a part of our cultural history as anything that I have ever seen. It is a compelling document of the people and their environs and deserves a wider audience than it will probably earn. Spread the word.

A fine, first collection of stories. Every one is well wrought and emotionally authentic. Not the cheeriest of stories, to be sure, but then again, are Updike's, of which they remind me?

I have been a big fan of short stories for a long time. I devour new collections like candy. This one is certainly several cuts above what I usually come across. Mr. Stolar's short stories sneak up on you, engage you in places and characters lives so deeply, and slowly lead up to a climax like a punch in the gut. Nothing surprising or thriller-like, but simply emotional and real. I really loved this book and I would recommend it to anyone. A truly great read from a truly talented author.

If you own a Mills slot machine you need this book. Detailed information on machine breakdown, lubrication and cleaning, theory of operation. It has gotten me past many otherwise hard to solve problems.

This book is a necessity for any serious collector of Mills bell machines. It is filled with reproductions of the original Mills sales literature, parts lists, price lists, pictures with parts callouts, etc. A treasure of information. See also Mills of the Thirties

I loved this book. Most of the script was similer to what the TV scripts sounded like, and that often makes the plot easier to believe. If you look closely and have a slightly parinoid mind, you'll see something strange going on from the begining. Ever since the TV show was cancelled, I've been heart-broken, and I for one am really glad that these books are coming out.

I like this book mainly because Hercules finally hears from his father, Zeus, and gets a chance to win his Father's love.

Daniel Glick's book might become a classic. While mourning the death of his brother and his rather sudden divorce from his wife, Glick finds himself alone with his two children for almost the first time. He chooses to take them around the world in an effort to see some of the planet's endangered species before it's too late. One gets the sense that it's also his effort to become a father before it's too late.
Monkey Dancing works on many levels: environmental journalism, a travelogue, a lesson in parenting. Using the metaphor of world travel, Glick journeys into the heart of fatherhood, marriage, family, loss, conflict, change, and life.

Whether you're looking for an escapist adventure, soul-searching memoir or a captivating close-up of natural wonder, Monkey Dancing will not disappoint. Dan Glick's account of his half-year global journey as a newly single dad with two kids is a humorous and moving story, full of reflection and insight about human relationships, with each other and with the planet.
After his wife left him unexpectedly for a woman and his brother died of cancer at 48, Glick sought perspective and healing through traveling and nature -- not unusual modes of solace, but decidedly different when you take 9- and 13-year-old siblings along to the python-infested jungles of Borneo or leech-laden trails in Nepal. Acutely aware that life can be short and unpredictable, Glick wanted to show his kids some of the world's endangered treasures while there was still a chance to do so
The entertaining narrative will amuse anyone who has traveled to challenging places (or wants to), especially those intrepid parents who have experienced both the exasperation and joys of discovery with children in tow. And it may well inspire parents who haven't to give it a go, even -- or maybe particularly -- in a world that currently seems so uncertain.
Monkey Dancing is also a stark tale of the grim conditions facing many of the earth's most spectacular ecosystems. Glick, who covered the environment as a journalist, weaves solid reporting among personal anecdotes for a tale that is as much about our wider connections with the natural world as our ties to our fellow humans.
When Glick learned that 40 percent of the world's coral reefs are gone, Australia's Great Barrier Reef became a top destination on his itinerary. As a father with a passion for nature, he wanted his kids to float among the technicolor fish and flora submerged beneath a turquoise ocean. As a journalist, he saw a story in the fact that even here, in a developed country where the environment is relatively protected, this reef is still gravely threatened. It wasn't inconceivable that the remaining coral reefs could disappear in his children's lifetimes.
He also chose destinations with "charismatic megafauna" that would appeal to his kids: orangutans in Borneo, rhinoceroses in Vietnam and Nepal, and the tigers of the Nepalese lowland plains. Those species, however, are on the verge of extinction, a fact apparent in how difficult it was to locate these animals.
Yet the family's observations were not without hope. Glick shares conservation success stories among the tragedies, offering encouragement that some of the marvels his children encountered may be available to their grandchildren one day as well.
It's not every kid that gets a first-hand look at the earth's vanishing wild places, let alone a chance to bond with their dad in such environs for months on end. Kolya and Zoe Glick are blessed indeed. In the pages of Monkey Dancing, fortunate readers can travel with them, gleaning inspiration to embark on journeys of their own toward deeper, more meaningful connections with the people, the creatures and the remarkable natural places we love.

My two year old son loves this book and recites it right along with me (or without me). The language and artwork are great. My son has learned quite a few words that don't often show up in books for young children: telescope, devour, astronaut, contentedly, guarantee, ferocious... He also spends ages just staring at the pictures. We've been borrowing it from the library a lot, and it's surprisingly difficult to find in bookstores. Its about time we got our own copy, as this is a major favorite.

A wonderfully written and illustrated book, it tells an imaginative story of a young boy who travels to the moon in a homemade rocketship, searching for the perfect dog. It has a clever rhyming scheme that helps your child follow along with you and eventually read on their own. My two-year loves this book and already recites the lines to his baby-sitters. They think he can read! Well done Mr. Kirk!

There have been several making-of-2001 books (Jerome Agel's "Making of 2001" in 1970; Piers Bizony's "2001: Filming the Future"; Arthur C. Clarke's "The Lost Worlds of 2001"; probably others). But the Dawn of Man prologue hasn't gotten a lot of coverage.

"Moonwatcher's Memoir" rectifies this oversight, and then some. Richter had a great, exhausting time during his year (!) working on apes with Kubrick, and tells all. In doing so, he throws new light on the movie's timeline; it started shooting in Dec. 65, yet the long-planned ape scenes weren't shot until very late in the game: fall of 67 (the movie came out in April 68). How Kubrick kept his poise during such a long project remains, as the film might say, "a total mystery."

To use book review jargon, this book is a must for all Kubrick completists. You know who you are.

I always wondered who was the man in the Monkey Suit and now I know. A fascinating easy to read memoir. An insiders view of the making of one of the most influential movies of all time. A must read for all 2001 fans.
