Very useful, but remember that this is Photoshop 6.......2003-05-26
Everything good I said about the other book is true of this one as well. The instructions are easy to follow. He gives the keyboard commands for both Mac and PC. You can dip in anywhere so you can fix the photo you own without reading any earlier chapter, although in this book it might be useful to read the ones just before and just after the chapter you need for additional useful information. And, if you can follow the pictures, you CAN be successful.
I only give this book a 4 star rating because it is a Photoshop 6 book. Everything will work in Photoshop 7, and I haven't seen any major differences in the two versions of the program that will require figuring out work arounds for the instructions in the book. But, of course, anything that is new in Photoshop 7 is not covered in this book
...Garbage.......2003-04-08
Pages fell off!.......2002-12-31
Other reviewers have reviewed the content of this book, so I will not add to that. Except to say that it is dated now, as PS 7 has come out. Instead I recommend that you not buy this book because of the bad binding.
Great easy techniques.......2002-11-21
I thought I was good at Photoshop, but he really showed me more focusing on digital photography. Very helpful indeed. And I will always have this book by my PC and digital camera (Canon A40)

Strategic Networks: Learning to Compete (Strategic Management Society Book Series)
Manufacturer: Blackwell Publishing Limited ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items:
ASIN: 1405135859 |
Book Description
One of the most fundamental processes in business competition is inter-organizational learning. To create and distribute value across organizational boundaries companies need to learn from their competitors. Increasingly it is clear that the learning process depends on the creation of a complex set of networks across organizations. This book explores the creation of 'learning networks' and sheds light on how they function:- real versus virtual forms of interaction, collaboration versus competition in the learning process, and joint value creation versus individual value appropriation in networks. The contributing authors are leading international experts in the field of global strategy whose chapters have been selected for their insights into the interdependence between organizational learning and networks.

A Clash of Transitions: Towards a Learning Society
Manufacturer: Peter Lang Publishing ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 0820474762 |
Book Description
In March 2000, at the European Council meeting in Lisbon, the European Union heads of states set an ambitious goal "to become the most competitive and dynamic knowledge-based economy in the world." Such a goal requires major reforms of the societies and economies of the EU member states.

Since 1989, these countries have been going through a major transformation to the market economy and democratic society. A Clash of Transitions attempts to answer how the societies and people can cope with multiple transitions. This volume is useful for courses on education, Central and Eastern Europe and European studies.

Competence in the Learning Society
Manufacturer: Peter Lang Publishing ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 0820451649 |
Book Description
Despite the accuracy of the critiques of the international "competence education and testing movement," which promote narrow approaches to education based on delivering and testing prepackaged knowledge in simplistic and practically ineffective models of competence, Competence in the Learning Society shows that the development of a better framework for thinking about the nature, development, release, and assessment of competence is vital. It explores the kinds of competence that are needed if our society is to survive the impending environmental and social collapse. Competence in the Learning Society makes a case for a renewed understanding of competence which is not only about doing a job effectively, but ensuring the job is making an effective contribution by going beyond its boundaries and influencing the system in which it operates. This book also describes the kind of educational and societal systems that are needed to develop and nurture high-level competence.Currently there is no book available that draws together thinking on "competence" in a way that is both relevant to higher-level education and illustrates recent research and practice. This book goes beyond critique of current practice to putting forward an argument for systemwide changes that are challenging and thought provoking.
