Excellent study guide for Registry Examination.......2005-12-06

The questions in this book are very good for registry exam prep. Chapters include all the major tested areas and then some. Yes, I'd rather have more than less of something. This book is certainly quite good for giving a good clue on how and what you'll be tested on. Volume 2 and 3 of this series were also excellent study guides. I liked volume 3 since it had so much on anatomy, physiology and positioning, which is tested plentiful on this exam.

Good buy perfect for those who like a lot of weapons.......2005-10-14

This book is great for those hoping to increase the size of thier weapon and item arsenal. If not for the some what unorganized listings, its an absolute buy. It lists alchemicaly made items,weapons,armor,and the average but wicked equipment such as the glasscutter for stealthy rouges. It has no vehicals however which I will admit is a let down. All in all though it is worth your money.

fun.......2001-12-27

This is a fun book. Clever idea and usually understandable. Especially good for presenters who wish to add some humor and/or color to a talk.

Wonderfully inventive as well as humorous........1999-07-19

Sally Swain has taken the time to find the key which can unlock all those frustrations ordinary people have with the arcane manner in which MOST critics deal with art. It is such a baloon burster that it dare not be missed by all serious students of art.

Very funny parodies of famous paintings.......1998-04-21

Sally Swain's Great Housewives of Art and ditto Revisted are hilariously funny parodies of famous paintings, and a very sophisticated form of humour in that if you do not know the original paintings you are at a loss as to why other people are rolling in the aisles. Women find them funnier than men, but men are the ones being sniped at by Ms Swain's brush. What she does is take a famous painting, like Munch's "The Scream" and alter it ever so slightly so that it becomes "Mrs Munch bemoans the tomato sauce stains on the wall". So you have Monet's "Waterlillies" becoming "Mrs Monet vacuums the pool" and Rembrandt's "Woman Bathing" Mrs Rembrandt defrosting the Fridge. A good book to keep in the bathroom, but if you are having a large party remove it or people stay there too long!

Be warned! Not for kids (or me!).......2007-08-22

Going from the publisher's note, I thought this would be a fun book showing famous artists' wives painted in everyday, albeit humorous, situations in the styles of their husbands. I got a few pages in and found a heiroglyphic painting titled something like "Who's got the contraceptive?" (I threw the book away before I wrote this). Then, I came across a Japanese painting of two people having sex. I got far enough through it to see an artist I recognized. It's a shame, because the artist has obvious skill and a good eye for capturing historic styles.

Book Description

Arthur Asa Berger’s newest work, Narratives in Popular Culture, Media, and Everyday Life elucidates narrative theory and applies it to the reader’s everyday experience with popular forms of mass media. Many professionals in the social sciences today have developed great interest in narratives and the insights they can provide about people. This one-of-a-kind book helps to interpret narratives while bringing the analysis down to an accessible level. The first part of the volume defines and examines narrative theorists and narrative techniques--a glossary in chapter four defines key terms and concepts. The second half considers the narrative elements of dreams, fairy tales, comics, television, novels, radio, film, and everyday life. Berger’s conversational style and illuminating application of narrative technique encourage readers to recognize how narratives shape the media as well as one’s own perceptions.

Students and professionals in popular culture, media studies, mass communication, and film studies will enjoy Narratives in Popular Culture, Media, and Everyday Life’s treatment of popular texts and films, as well as its easy-to-read format.

Ideal for the database programmer or system DBA, Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Programming by Example is an excellent example-based tutorial on mastering today's SQL features. Packed with plenty of tips and tricks, this title will let most anyone do more with SQL Server.

While there are plenty of screen shots showing graphical SQL Server tools, the focus of this book is clearly on learning real command-line Transact-SQL (T-SQL). The authors provide a patient and very thorough tour of T-SQL with full coverage of both basic and advanced features. You'll learn how to define new tables, manage users in groups, and perform all kinds of queries. Standout material includes an excellent guide to SQL data types and how to choose the right one for your needs. When it comes to queries, the book does a great job of exploring all your options for joining relational data, as well as grouping data for more advanced reporting. True to its title, Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Programming by Example is filled with dozens of examples of SQL commands (and the results returned) so that you can try out this material for yourself and really learn the language thoroughly.

Later on, the authors turn toward server-side programming with a digestible guide to creating stored procedures and triggers. The book closes with an in-depth guide to the issues regarding cursors (for working with table data), transactions, and locking. Sections on bulk copy tools and the Microsoft Data Transformation Services (DTS) show how to move data around the enterprise. A final section of distributed queries and linked servers will help you work with different sources of data wherever it resides in your organization.

Despite some stilted writing, the comprehensive examples in this book make it a success. It will let anyone start using basic T-SQL for the first time, as well as teach more advanced readers to master the finer points of Microsoft databases. --Richard Dragan

Topics covered:

History and introduction to Microsoft SQL Server
In-depth Transact-SQL (T-SQL) tutorial (including T-SQL data types and flow control statements)
Creating and modifying tables and views
Creating queries with the SELECT statement
Inserting, deleting, and updating data
Using joins (inner, outer, and cross joins)
Indexes (database optimization and index maintenance)
Data integrity (constraints and foreign keys)
Business logic with stored procedures (including error handling and security)
Tutorial and tips for triggers (including nested and recursive triggers)
User-Defined Functions (UDFs)
Complex queries and subqueries
Row-oriented processing with cursors (including SQL Server cursor types)
Transactions in T-SQL (including basic ACID properties, isolation levels, and locks)
Avoiding deadlocks
Transferring data to and from SQL Server with bulk copy and Data Transformation Services (DTS)
Databases in heterogeneous environments (distributed queries and linked servers)
Using the SQL Query Analyzer

Book Description

SQL Server 2000 Programming by Example provides clear and concise examples of basic programming techniques used in SQL Server 2000 primarily using Transact-SQL. Even if you're a complete novice to SQL Server 2000 programming, you will benefit by reading through the book's logical process. SQL Server 2000 is introduced and explored, database structure is designed and built, and finally a variety of programming techniques are studied and reviewed. If you are already familiar with SQL Server 2000 programming, you may use the book as a quick reference guide that provides plenty of pertinent examples.

Customer Reviews:

Excellent SQL Server 2000 book!.......2007-04-19

Excellent book for anyone, from developer to DBA to learn SQL Server basics. Also an excellent tool for passing Microsoft exam 70-229. It goes over all the topics that are covered by the Microsoft exam:

Developing Logical Data Model
Implementing a physical database
Creating and altering database objects
Review of constraints
Indexing
Database replication and partitioning
Retrieving and modifying data
Programming business logic
Tuning and optimizing data acess
Database security

The book includes very good explanations as well as examples.

I looked at several books that would help me to pass microsoft exam but could not find any book that would cover all the topics I needed until I came across this book. Combined with a sample test from [...] it's all you need to pass the test

Very disappointed with the book........2006-03-08

This book reads more like an online help book. There are no explanations of the logic of using the syntax. This book will put you to sleep. I don't recommend getting this book at all.

Problems with PDF.......2005-05-25

It should noted that you won't be able to print any of the pages of this book. Also, that unless you register with Adobe and give them you name and email address you won't be able to backup the pdf file or use it on another computer inadditon getting it registered took over 1/2 hour. Finally I had to let them download files to my computer that I know nothing about. So stay away from the PDF version !

Not satisfied with the book.......2005-01-15

I have been using and reading this book for my database course for a year, I have no choice, however, I am not quite satisfied with this book as the layout is plain and difficult to understand the codes.
It has all the statements in one go, and then it print out the results after the codes with few explanations of the codes. The codes section may extend up to 3 pages and followed by the results, it is hard to read and understand, you need to flip over and over again.
I just give up after reading half of the book at about page 367, that is the triggers chapter.

Practical Hands-on for Developers.......2004-09-09

I've been teaching college database classes for years, and although I prefer to teach MySQL, it's important for serious IT students to get some experience on a full-blown enterprise database server, and for that I use MS SQL Server.

This is the only usable text I've found for developers who need to learn the fundamentals for constraints, triggers, stored procedures, etc. Most SQL Server books are about administration, and barely touch upon programming topics. Many of those targeting developers rely upon some custom database dreamed up by the author that pales beside the standard samples of pubs and Northwind included with the SQL Server product. The worst books trot out database basics that might be best learned using MS Access.

The authors walk through every operation with standalone examples using either pubs or Northwind, with dozens of code listings for each chapter. You might need to complete a few consecutive listings, but there are no long-running dependencies where the authors want you to follow their development project from start to finish. You can dive in and out of this book at any point with no set up required.

The tone is straighforward with clear explanations, definitions, and tips. No chitchat or bull gets in the way. There are some illustrative figures, but no page after page of useless screenshots. Like the Que series claims, you learn By Example--cranking out the listings yourself to see things work.

A relly nice book for students or professionals from beginning to intermediate levels. Oh yeah...the price is right.
