5 out of 5 stars Beats saving all the Handyman Magazines.......2007-09-30

This is an excellent "fix it yourself" book that includes many fixes you can find only in The Handyman Magazine. The magazine is a top-notch periodical, in my opinion, for guys like me - mediocre at making everyday fixes to common problems around the home. This is the latest upadate I could find, and for the price, it was an excellent deal. For all you do-it-yourselfers who have two left hands, and for indepent women who need to economize, this is an a very good book. Covers most every day maintenance and repair stuff that comes up when you least expect and need a fairl quick, but easy and inexpensive fix. I'd buy this one again.

5 out of 5 stars Ecellent.......2007-09-26

My husbsnd thinks this book is fantastic,a lot of pointers for the do it yourself person.And delivery was excellent, i received it sooner than i expected.

4 out of 5 stars Good Book.......2007-01-03

Pretty useful book that covers a wide variety of topics and explains things pretty well through words and pictures. The only issue is that it is sometimes missing topics that probably should be in the book, but my complaints are few and far between. I recommend this book for what is already in it.

4 out of 5 stars Very good!.......2006-02-23

This do-it-yourself book is very good. It is an excellent resource for the homeowner with some to many handyman skills. My first complaint is that several projects are way beyond the capacity of the weekend home-warrior. Secondly, many of the instructions are not detailed enough. You are forced to figure out internal steps to procedures on your own. I have the original 1973 edition, and its new look and upgrade is amazing. It is a book I wouldn't do without.

              5 out of 5 stars Excellent Resource.......2007-05-18

              Unlike many training books The Bare Bones Camera Course for Film and Video does not attempt to suggest what camera you should buy, nor does it tell you how to shoot Aunt Alice's 80th birthday party. This book, in its 89 pages, is a beautiful example of a subject that has been pared down to the essential information needed to learn it----and the subject is how to operate your video camera to get the best images you can.

              The book's table of contents lists eight sections:

              · Basics (such as camera functions, lenses, depth of field)
              · Composition
              · Basic Sequence
              · Screen Direction
              · Camera Moves
              · Montages
              · Lighting
              · Doing It (how to plan for a shoot)

              Each section is covered concisely, and there are over 200 simple, but effective, black and white line art illustrations to accompany the topic being discussed. This book is perfect for the person who wants to concentrate on improving their video camera operating skills.

              5 out of 5 stars The best beginners book out there.......2006-05-11

              This is one of the simplest, and best books I've ever seen for beginner filmmakers. It is able to very clearly explain complicated concepts, without writing any more than necessary. It's a very slender book, and a very quick read, and well worth your time.

              5 out of 5 stars The best basic camera and cinematography explanations I have found........2006-03-05

              This book is the easiest book on the subject to understand. Allmost anyone could understand this book. It gives you the same information as some of those long 300 page books that try to sound scholarly but just end up sounding pretensious. This book is the complete basics, so for anyone who is looking for more in depth stuff this isnt the right book for you.

              5 out of 5 stars Short & Sweet.......2002-01-16

              Tom Schroeppel is an experienced film editor. Originally written for film cameras, the 2002 edition has been updated to apply also to video cameras. It's amazing how, in this short book, he is able to explain in simple language and illustrations almost everything you need to know in order to make a film or video. If you read your video camera's manual and this one book you will have all the tools you need to make excellent videos. I bought this book in the USC bookstore - it's used in a film class.

              5 out of 5 stars Great book.......2000-11-26

              I recently picked up this book at a college bookstore, and I read it in about two hours. This is a fabulous book to get all the basic information needed to start making movies. It's littered with helpful diagrams and good examples. Buy it now!

                    He's a simple cat. He enjoys long naps, big dinners, and watching Jon fall flat on his face. But whether he's setting a trap for the mailman, stalking the chips bag, or helping Jon discover his artistic side, Garfield knows what to do and he knows how to do it with style.

                    5 out of 5 stars Recognized by cat lovers everywhere.......2006-09-16

                    The Garfield comic strip about a male loser who owns a fat cat and an ignorant, slobbery dog strikes a responsive chord in cat owners everywhere. It is not because they identify with a man who cannot do anything right or recognize their pet dog. It is because Garfield is the exaggerated epitome of a cat whose life revolves around eating, sleeping and getting into things. I have owned approximately ten cats in my life and I recognized a bit of Garfield in every one of them. I enjoyed this book, even though the actions of his owner reach beyond the absurd.

                    5 out of 5 stars One of Garfield's best from the 1990's.......2003-03-19

                    Unfortunatly, this was actually when Garfield books were starting to fall a bit flat on ideas and the 1990's books weren't as good compared to the mid to late 1980's books but this book is still very funny, but overall if you're a Garfield fan, this book is highly recommended.

                    4 out of 5 stars Gives a few chuckles........2002-10-20

                    "Garfield Says a Mouthful, No 21" wasn't the funniest Garfield book I've read, but it's still entertaining. I nice addition to a collection and a must for Garfield fans. I recommend.

                    Everybody out there keep buying Garfield books! They can be worth a lot of money someday and can become collector's items! I'm always going to keep all of mine so when I have kids they can read them!

                      Book Description

                      Author John Foley came to Alaska as a newspaper reporter. He taught in the Yup'ik Eskimo village of Gambell on a Bering Sea island. There, he and his wife learned about the Yup'ik culture, helped haul in a whale, looked out for polar bears on the way to school, and adjusted to life with a honey bucker. Foley also taught in the Athabascan Indian village of Tetlin, where his duties included helping a young woman adjust to the relentless pursuit of men. TUNDRA TEACHER examines Foley's relationship with the women in his life, his students, Native Alaskans, and fellow teachers. Told with humor, honesty, and a healthy dose of political incorrectness, it delves into a sometimes strange and always fascinating world.

                      5 out of 5 stars Funny and heartfelt.......2006-08-07

                      As a writer, Foley has a great voice and puts it to fine use telling tales of his twenty-something to thirtysomething years. Great fun to read for those of use who never had the nerve to actually act on the universal impulse to chuck it all and head off to the frontier.

                      5 out of 5 stars Great reality check - funny and insightful.......2003-10-01

                      Finally! A real book by a real teacher who speaks like a real person. After reading about Foley's humorous exploits, I will never complain about my difficult classrooms again. Thanks for putting it all into perspective for me.

                      5 out of 5 stars From a fellow teacher - I loved this book!.......2003-10-01

                      As a fellow teacher, I very much enjoyed "Tundra Teacher." John Foley is a great story teller and has the courage to give voice to what every teacher eventually feels confronted by: self-doubt, frustration and heart-breaking reality. What I like about this book is Foley's ability to lace humor and insight into his difficult teaching situations. Thanks much for this book.

                      Book Description

                      Martin Brodeur is a giant in the world of hockey. He is the number-one goalie in the game today, and one of the greatest goaltenders of the modern age. He has been netminder for the New Jersey Devils for 13 years, leading them to three Stanley Cup victories and winning numerous individual awards in the process, including two Vezina trophies. A three-time Olympian for Canada, Brodeur was part of the gold-medal winning team at the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City. He was in goal when Team Canada captured the 2004 World Cup and has been a part of every major Canadian team since he broke into the NHL in 1992. He is rated as the fourth most popular and recognizable hockey player of all time (after Wayne Gretzky, Bobby Orr, and Mario Lemieux).

                      In Brodeur: Beyond the Crease, the game's best netminder takes a candid, personal look at his career, his sport, the business of hockey, the evolution of the sport, and his journey to the apex of the modern game. It is one man's detailed, unique view of the kaleidoscope of intrigue and competitive chaos that defines today's NHL, a rare opportunity to understand the sport through the eyes of one of the game's most insightful athletes at the height of his abilities.

                      Brodeur: Beyond the Crease traces Brodeur's career, revealing how he became the best, from minor hockey through junior to the NHL and Team Canada. It examines his rich national and personal hockey heritage, and the pivotal role his father and others played in his career, as well as his thoughts and insights on: being part of the effort that turned the New Jersey Devils around from being what Wayne Gretzky called "a Mickey Mouse organization" into one of the game's most powerful and successful franchises; being in the crease in 2002 when Canada ended a 50-year gold medal drought at the Olympics; being a Canadian and a Quebecer playing and living in the US; life as a husband and father of four, his love of motorcycles, and the lifestyle of the modern athlete; pursuing greatness and sporting records; the best goalies he’s ever seen and the best NHL shooters; how he prepares for game day; what it's like to be the wealthiest man ever to play his position, and what it was like to watch $8 million in salary fly out the window during the NHL lockout of 2004-2005.

                      In association with award-winning sports journalist Damien Cox, the top goalie in the game takes us inside the game and beyond, to reveal the man behind the mask.

                      4 out of 5 stars Brodeur fan.......2007-10-08

                      If your a Brodeur fan, you'll enjoy the book. It's an easy read. I personally wish that there was more of his "routine" type stuff in the book, but that is just my bias as a hockey player also- wanting to know what he does. It goes into it a bit, but not enough for me! Other than that, it goes into more detail in some places relative to others, so sometimes it's overkill sometimes you want a lot more, but overall, worth it to read.

                      5 out of 5 stars Brodeur: Beyond the Crease.......2007-08-09

                      My brother loved this book. It was a birthday present & he loves the Devils & this made the perfect gift!

                      4 out of 5 stars Autobiography from one of the greatest NHL goaltenders.......2007-05-30

                      In hockey parlance, the "crease" is the small rectangular area in front of the goal, defended by the goalie like a junkyard dog. Facing slap shots over 100 MPH, bracing for oncoming collisions with opponents (and teammates), it takes a brave (or foolhardy) soul to don the sports equivalent of baseball's "tools of ignorance."

                      Martin Brodeur, netminder for the New Jersey Devils since 1992, is one of the greatest goalies in the history of the game. He led his team to the Stanley Cup three times and is the only goalie in the NHL with 10 seasons of 30 or more wins. A nine-time All-Star, he has won the Jennings Award, given to the goalies of the team allowing the fewest goals during the regular season, five times and is a two-time winner of the Vezina Trophy, awarded to the best goalie in the league. In short, he's a sure lock for the NHL Hall of Fame when the time comes.

                      BRODEUR: BEYOND THE CREASE, written with Damien Cox, an award-winning sportswriter for the Toronto Star, is about what we've come to expect in sports biographies these days: a recap of a career, hopefully of one of the better athletes rather than the "flavor of the month," when sudden success makes one a household name for a brief period.

                      The Quebec-born Brodeur --- whose father, Denis, was also a professional goalie --- writes primarily about his professional experiences. But he seems to share equal pride in representing Canada in the Olympics in 1998, 2002 and 2006, although that pride is tempered by disappointing results in Turin, where the team failed to win a medal. With all that time on his hands during the 2005-06 lockout that canceled the entire season, Brodeur does a good job of capturing the frustration of an aging athlete (i.e., in his mid-30s) with less time ahead of him than behind, uncomprehending of the inability of labor and management to reach an agreement. The players had to make a lot of concessions that hit them in the wallet. He also makes clear his displeasure with decisions made by the league to promote individual stars at the expense of the teams.

                      But there's more to the man than the headlines on the ice. The tabloids went wild when Brodeur's marriage fell apart and he began a relationship with his sister-in-law. The timing of the situation --- he received the divorce papers during the 2003 playoffs --- just added to the melodrama. Overall, however, his home life seems sedate, especially in the age of "bling" and celebrity conspicuous consumption.

                      By the end of BRODEUR: BEYOND THE CREASE, the reader (who most likely will be a staunch hockey fan) will probably come away with his impressions confirmed: Brodeur must have felt the time was right to tell his story. But, like many of his fellow athlete/authors, the reader might wonder what he really had to say.

                      5 out of 5 stars Better then I expected........2007-05-16

                      I wanted to read this book since it came out and wasn't able to find it anywhere but online. Anyways, being a huge Hockey fan, I wanted to read about one of the all time best goalies in the NHL. I could not put it down, I read the thing in two days. It was well written, interesting and insightful. Great mix of personal tidbits, Devil's history, and hockey info all in one. But not so much of any one thing to cause me to loose interest. I have always admired Brodeur, but after reading this book, I am now a Brodeur fan, (but still not a Devils fan.) Well worth the time and money on this book.

                      2 out of 5 stars What's the point of this book?.......2007-05-04

                      I agree with one of the above posters that this book comes under the "why is this necessary?" category. That is exactly what I thought when I read it. I'm a huge hockey fan and have been for 20 years. However I am NOT a Devils or Brodeur fan. Nevertheless I wanted to see what he had to say as I appreciate anything having to do with hockey. First of, as mentioned by other posters, many stories are repeated throughout the book, as if to fill it up. There really is no need for this book to have been written precisely for that reason: there's nothing Brodeur has to say. He is still an active goaltender, so it's not a memoir of an ex-NHLer; he has not gone through some enormous turmoil either in his personal or professional life that would prompt him to share it with everyone to either set the record straight or just share his experience; he is a good goaltender but he's not THE BEST -so writing an autobiography while he's still active and having no interesting anegdotes or stories to tell is a little premature in my opinion. This book is exactly like his team, the NJ Devils: BORING! They may win a lot of games but they sure don't draw the crowds to watch the yawnfest. Similarly this book can put you to sleep or at the very least skip half of the pages in search for something, ANYTHING interesting this guy has to say.
