4 out of 5 stars Good text for Culinary Students: Business and Math.......1998-08-03

ACF Competencies for Business and Math Skills, as outlined in the Apprenticeship Operations Manual v1.3 can be met with successful completion of this workbook. Great resources that chefs can use for many years. A few errors found: temperatures need to be updated to agree with ServSafe guidelines and Food Code of 1998.

    Book Description

    For individual actors involved in economic activities (i.e. production, exchanges), conventions and structures represent two different types of opportunity or constraint. Conventions refer to values, rules and representations that influence economic behavior. Structures refer to patterns of resource interdependencies existing among members of any social system.

    This book contributes to the current rapprochement between economics and sociology. It examines the fact that individuals use rules and interdependencies to forward their own interests, while living in social environments where everyone does the same. The authors argue that to construct durable organizations and viable markets, they need to be able to handle both. However, thus far, economists and sociologists have not been able to reconcile the relationship between these two types of constraints on economic activity.

    Conventions and Structures in Economic Organization seeks to bridge this gap and will appeal to students and scholars in both economics and sociology, offering them new ideas about how they can co-operate in unsuspected ways and combine their interdisciplinary efforts.

                        I read this book, and loaned it out... and it never came back. I bought it again, loaned it out... and it didn't come back either. Very fun, very entertaining, and far far better than the movie.

                        Everything you need to convert analog to digital; photos, video, or music.
                        Dust off and restore those great old LP's or even 8mm movies to DVD or CD.
                        It takes time but a great hobby with satisfying results.

                        5 out of 5 stars A useful collection of Audio File tips!.......2006-08-03

                        CNet recommended this book for the course they were offering on becoming proficient with the editing of digital multimedia and recording it to CDs. I can attest they knew what they were doing. The book is easy to read, deals with the technology with a non-geek tone and handles the legal issues properly and with a proper tongue-in-cheek manner. An excellent value.

                        Burning Down the House
                        Ripping, Recording, Remixing and more!
                        Nov. 2004

                        This book is about putting music on the computer, editing it and then playing it back. Or, "That's No Computer - It's Your Music Machine". As the book further states, "It doesn't matter whether you can play an instrument, read music, or carry a tune - as long as you like music, all the projects in this book are within your grasp".

                        The desktop computer now can do things that used to require thousands of dollars worth of equipment. This book gives the novice computer audiophile a lot of great basic info to get started, and also has many tips and tricks for more experienced users

                        It is well-written , with many screenshots illustrating the text, and though short, it is extensive and very informative. The book identifies software needed to perform the various functions which, in almost all cases, is freeware or shareware, to limit costs.

                        Of course, an initial question is "Why do I want to know all this?" My short answer - because it allows one to obtain a digital audio file with content just as wanted.

                        I have a few projects in mind which would make good use of the computer. In some cases there are no commercial CDs available presently. Other projects would transfer audio from records or tapes that will continue to deteriorate - records when the phonograph needle wears out the grooves and tapes as they age and lose magnetic material - and also continue to accumulate scratches and other artifacts that cause blips in the sound. Computer processing can eliminate these artifacts and improve the sound quality. Also the computer will allow me to make CDs with my own compilation of music - and in a manner so it can be played on any CD player, anywhere.

                        The following are my initial projects which can be handled quite well on the computer.

                        1. I have old tapes of my children's music performances while in school. I would like to produce an audio CD with the numerous tapes combined on the one CD.

                        2. I have some old 78 rpm records of Enrico Caruso, Fritz Kreisler and others, which are no longer available. It will be interesting to listen to these on modern equipment.

                        3. I have a 33 rpm record of Porgy & Bess with Cab Calloway as Sportin' Life singing It Ain't Necessarily So which is not available on CD.

                        Before describing how this book helps me with these projects - and other music-related uses of the computer - it will be helpful to define certain of the terms relevant to this processes used in this book - and thereby indicate the scope of the efforts described.

                        * Digitizing - converting the analog sound signals from tapes and records to digital format for the computer
                        * Burning - writing data onto a CD-R or -RW
                        * Ripping - reading audio data from a CD and saving to a computer
                        * Recording - capturing audio on to a media
                        * Mixing - creating a group of selected songs, including songs from different CDs or other sources
                        * Re-mixing - further editing of mixes, including excerpting portions of songs
                        * Downloading - obtaining music from the Internet and saving it on the computer [see Streaming]
                        * Streaming - receiving and playing, without storing, music from the Internet [see Downloading]
                        * Broadcasting - sending audio signals to remote receivers or speakers
                        * Codecs -technology for compressing/decompressing data files, in this case audio files:
                        o MP3 - a popular codec
                        o WMA - Microsoft's codec
                        o RealAudio - Real.com's codec
                        o WAV - Microsoft's uncompressed format
                        o Numerous other
                        * Mash-up - splicing all or parts of two or more songs into one unit

                        The book's Chapter headings also are descriptive of the content


                        1. That's no computer - It's your music machine
                        2. What you need [and what you don't]
                        3. Copy a CD
                        4. Rip a CD
                        5. Download music
                        6. Record and mix live audio
                        7. Burn the perfect mix
                        8. Digitize your vinyl [my primary interest]
                        9. Turn your digital pictures into music videos
                        10. Build a beat and sample library
                        11. Broadcast audio to every radio in your house
                        12. Turn out your own DJ set
                        13. Make a self-playing or self-burning CD
                        14. Create your own Internet Radio Station
                        15. Remixing 101
                        16. Create a mash-up remix
                        Appendix - Legal considerations


                        The low-cost music software covered includes Audacity, CoolEdit Pro, Windows Media Player, MusicMatch Jukebox, PC DJ Broadcaster, Shoutcast Server and more, with explanations of the various file formats. The discussions of editing include fixing artifacts [defects], creating effects, using multiple tracks and more. They describe the way to capture and restore the quality of audio from old media.

                        I was struck by the number of times the author refers to the legal issues pertaining to copyright and fair-use - describing relevant copyright law, and what is advised to do and not to do, and much more. Besides the Appendix, there are many sidebars within the chapters making note of the potential issues and the conflicting opinions regarding fair use.

                        All in all, this is a great book for anyone interested in music and the computer and curious about combining the two. I will refer to it often as I proceed with my own projects.

                        Now my digital music life is much easier. Thank you! mr. van buskirk
                        BTW.. please check out his column on c-net, also very helpful.

                        5 out of 5 stars everything you wanted to know but were afraid to ask.......2003-08-25

                        Finally, a friendly, huggable book that answers embarrassing questions like how to "Digitize Your Vinyl" and "Remixing 101." Most of us pretend that we know how to do this stuff, but now we can actually know instead. No one this experienced is addressing what people really do when they remix and make music online and then broadcast it to the world. It's an intelligent and fun read, told with humor and best of all, soul. Take Van Buskirk's dedication for instance: "To anyone who's ever made something because they wanted to." I mean, come on!

                          While the black experience in America has been told in many ways, it has seldom, if ever, been substantially addressed from the play, recreation, and leisure perspective. That is the primary intent of Black Recreation: A Historical Perspective. Leisure and recreation activities are an important measure of quality of life of happiness, wealth, and health. Historical interpretation, accurately presented, can help give individuals a better sense of identity of who they are and how far they have come. Both minority and majority readers will benefit from broad-based analysis of the recreational activities and effects they had on American culture as a whole.

                              4 out of 5 stars It's a good fakebook.......2006-11-05

                              It's a good fakebook, in all it's meaning...just the themes. Good arrangements, good worked out chords (that's half the feeling of a song!)

                              one point though, it's mainly the tv-tunes from the past. It would have been great if there were some 'new' tunes in it.

                              I really do recommend this book to all tv/movie/music enthousiasts!

                                    This book had more information that I needed to create a website. I wanted the basics and it gave me much more.

                                    5 out of 5 stars A superb book for creating Web sites!.......2003-03-16

                                    This book was fantastic! It showed in a very easy to follow and friendly voice how to build a Web site (using straight HTML, Word and FrontPage), how to organize the files and gave great advice on writing, design and tons of other tips and tricks. I would highly recommend this book to anyone that wants to get started on their own website or wants to make their existing site even better!
