Surprisingly rich and readable for such a thing book
Java books nowadays tend to be mammoths. You nearly break your arm lifting them off the shelf. But Paul Wang's rather slender book still packs a wallop and delivers excellent content in tons of very readable examples. You'll learn about neat, arcane topics like using Java to write CGI server programs and all sorts of things about network sockets. There are very few errors and the typefonts are especially large and readable. The only detraction, which isn't Dr. Wang's fault, is that the cover is too thin and flexible. This wonderful book deserves a hardcover!

An Awesome Book of Poetry
The publisher hit all the key points, so I'll just say a quick few words. Wang Wei is one of my favorite poets, he paints like DaVinci and moves you like Mozart. Reading his work takes you to a whole new world.

A great escape, and a great way to spend an afternoon. Get this book! You will be pleased, guranteed!

A fine introduction to classic Chinese paintings
This is a totally gorgeous book with high-quality color photographs of important Chinese paintings. These graphics alone are very pleasing to look. I am not an expert in Oriental art, but it was easy to see from these photographs and illustrations the magnificence of Chinese paintings. They surely are one of the most under-rated forms of art in the world, and deserves more international attention.

This book also looks into the history of this art form, including how masterpieces were deliberately copied by apprentices for them to learn the delicate brush-strokes. And best of all, this book provides many guides on how to appreciate each of these paintings. Before reading this book, I believed the stamps on the canvas and scrolls were of the artists themselves. Now I know better. I also learned the meaning of the short poems written on some of these paintings, which gave me a better understanding of the artists' intentions.

Now, I look forward to looking at the real paintings.

A magnificent work of feeling and sensibility
This work in its Chinese original is a milestone of contemporary Chinese fiction. It uses the backdrop of the Cultural Revolution to explore timeless human emotions and sexuality. The author Wang Anyi is of the same generation and similar in style to another great Chinese woman writer, Yan Geling, whose "White Snake and Other Stories" have just appeared in English and whose film "Xiu Xiu: The Sent-Down Girl" (directed by Joan Chen) is currently playing in major U.S. cities.

Magical Seeds and A Cheerful Giver
...

While in San Francisco's Chinatown, I stumbledacross the delightful children's book called The Magical StarfruitTree. The virtues of sharing and respect for elders are thecornerstone of Chinese philosophy. Author Rosalind Wang conveys this message perfectly in her version of the famous Chinese folktale.

The story takes place in a small village on a very hot day. A greedy peddler refuses to share his star fruit with an elderly and thirsty beggar. Realizing the beggar is in desperate need of liquid, a young boy shares all of his money to buy a star fruit for him. ...

Following the "Do unto others as you would have done unto you" Golden Rule, the book's message transcends all racial boundaries and historical timelines. It creates a perfect opportunity for parents to discuss morals and ethics with their children.

The clearest, easiest and most user friendly manual yet!
I was very excited after seeing a preview demonstration of MS Office 2000 Premium edition. I knew that I was going to be able to take advantage of most of the features in the new Office 2000 software suite. I also knew that I was going to need help in learning how to integrate the applications, understanding the dos and the don'ts. I looked through several manuals and although some of them covered similar content, none were as easy to read and understand as Office 2000 for Dummies. I can go straight to the application section I am using and find the example and explanations I need, in plain English to complete my task. Publishing our organizations monthly newsletters as well as client and staff contact management or as I update our website, this book helped me see what I could do to make my job easier, more productive. Anytime I get stuck, I don't panic. I just reach for my manual and smile because not only do I know the information I need, will be there, but that I will be able to understand it, to make the task I want to happen, happen. I highly recommend this book to any user who wants to take full advantage of the new integration of the programs. It will make you more productive, more confident, more creative with the many examples provided. Basically it will make your job and your life easier!

Irreverent excellence!
Wang shines in this volume and "More Office 97" really functions as "a reference for the rest of us." If you're tasked with getting the job done with Office 97 or even studying for MOUS certification, then you need "More Office 97."

A reading in Minneapolis
I have returned from a reading by Wang Ping (along with George Kalamaras) and I was highly impressed by her work. As a woman, I find that I can identify with her words of womanhood and restriction. I look forward to delving into her world of prose, although she gives a taste of it in this collection by means of prose-poems.
