Good help when you need it.......2006-03-14

I am not a fan of RATS, but have always liked this book when I got stuck when I had canned code for time series analysis and it seemed to be simpler to go with the canned code than to rewrite the code in eViews or Ox. Enders is an excellent author and he walks you through how to use RATS for time series analysis. It is a practical book, a book with a very clear purpose of linking time series analysis with RATS. If you buy this book, buy Enders' other book - Applied Econometric Time Series as well. They offer a good background for applied time series analysis.

Now, the theoretical part of this book is not the strongest. But since this is a practically oriented book, there is really no need for it. For the theoretical deviation of any time series related material, there is only one book: Hamilton's Time Series Analysis.

Enders has authored programming manuals for RATS, which are available to everyone at the RATS website at www.estima.com. If you read this review, you probably know about it.

Book Description

This book offers an up-to-date analysis of the differences in the impact of the Single European Market (SEM) on the UK and Germany. It outlines the effect that the SEM was expected to have on the two countries and contrasts this with actual progress. This comparison is based on published data and a detailed survey of four industries. It shows that while the SEM has had an impact, many measures have had a far weaker effect than expected. The existence of other barriers not tackled by the SEM program, poor implementation, and delays all helped to mute the response; while German unification, global business trends and the recent recession helped dominate the impact of the SEM. Nevertheless, the SEM stands out as one of the striking influences on British and German industries for many years.

adorable, well-presented tale with a twist.......2005-03-17

Trisha Howell's children's books are always layered, with the sweetest stuff underneath the froth on top. Kids will love the "princess" and identify with her rebellion against changes outside her control ... doesn't that happen to every kid? And the sweet, humorous resolution will bring a smile to the face of every reader. Highly recommended.

My kids love this book!.......2005-01-06

My kids love this book!

This book is gorgeous! Trisha Howell did a wonderful job, writing a short meaningful children's story about 2 dogs that rings the importance of sharing and loving each other. All book lovers and parents: I highly recommend you get this book!

And by the way, the quality of this book is super. You should buy it just for the art!

What a surprise this book gave my children........2005-01-03

The Princess and the Pekinese was a delightful book. My children loved the surprise of who a main character actually was. They performed a magical puppet show based on the book. I know when a book touches my children because it brings out wonderful creativity in drawings or activities they do afterwards, and this book definitely did.

A beautiful, touching, and true book........2005-01-01

Princess Lillian is a regal little Yorkie who is at the center of her family's love and attention. Then they get a new puppy, and she cannot stand the attention he gets -- or gives her. So she runs away. By the time she returns, she has learned to appreciate the blessings she has.

This is such a beautiful book, from the story to the illustrations. If you have ever had two (or more) dogs, you appreciate the complex relations between them. They truly have their own personalities, and their own objectives. The relationship between Princess Lillian and the Pekinese rings true.

For anyone -- dog lovers or just lovers, of all ages -- this book will touch your heart. And when you read what inspired Trisha to write this story, it will move you.

Exceptional Book For Young Children.......2004-12-03

This is a Trisha Howell classic. Like all of her books, it presents life in its whimsical and glowing aspects. I have enjoyed reading it to several children.

Well-indexed.......2004-09-30

With country music and its manifestations reaching ever deeper into the world's cultural psyche, All Music offers this in-depth encyclopedic guide to the massive genre. The book covers the extended bluegrass scene given greater popularity by O Brother Where Art Thou? with entries from the close harmony traditionalists Osborne Brothers to such progressives as Darrell Scott. Doc Watson gets four pages and the FM country scene from Dwight Yoakam to popular Western swing revivalists Asleep at the Wheel is here. The alt-country scene is present, too, covered from Bloodshot recording artist Robbie Fulks to the popular Old 97's. The entries are in the expected form for these successful All Music cyclopedias. That is, biographies and then key reviews with recommended starting points. This makes for over 10,000 rated reviews. The well-indexed tome includes style descriptions, a section for compilations, soundtracks, essential albums by genre and two dozen rich essays on aspects of country music, like "Country on Film" and "Country Soundtracks". This is an invaluable resource for the serious fan of any part of the varied country music spectrum. Where else would you find that The Residents, Savoy Brown and Elvis Costello all drew on the early `70s countrified British pub rock group Chilli Willi & the Red Hot Peppers for members?

very detailed Book.......2004-06-21

Reviews and ratings to 10,281 recordings by 1,219 artists.......2004-03-06

The collaborative effort of country music experts Vladimir Bogdanov, Chris Woodstra, and Stephen Thomas Erlewine, and now in an expanded and updated second edition, All Music Guide To Country: The Definitive Guide To Country Music is a gigantic, 963-page reference book which is crammed from cover to cover with reviews and ratings to 10,281 recordings by 1,219 artists and represent all facets and subgenres of the western music genre and is a compendium of facts and factoids about country music and the people who sing it. A thorough, "must-have" resource for dedicated country fans or anyone else who needs to look up country-music related information quickly, the text published in a rather tiny font -- so readers with impaired eyesight had best invest in a good magnifying glass.

well written, but out of date.......2005-09-13

Since this book is from 1998, it's quite out of date and doesn't cover many new media or ideas from the last few years.

For what it is..........2003-04-17

This book contains a lot of information needed to learn about the commercial & internet world. The way the book is formatted makes it so much easier to learn. Even after I sell this book and after I leave this class, I will still remember all the information I learned because it was just that readable.

Book Description

With its powerful combination of visual layout tools, application development features, and code editing support, Dreamweaver MX 2004 is sure to become your tool of choice for creating and managing Web sites. This book offers the key to all of its magic. Sure, you could wade your way through a thousand-page tome to learn the ins and outs of every Dreamweaver feature, but as a Web developer or designer focused on deadlines, details, and putting across an effective message, what you really need is somebody else to do that work for you: to dig up the time-saving tips and shortcuts that will get you to your destination fast. Lucky for you, authors Joseph Lowery and Angela C. Buraglia have done just that, drawing on their own vast Dreamweaver experience to deliver a book that's nothing but those cool sidebar tips. In the process, they cover all of Dreamweaver MX 2004's new features: built-in image-editing technology that lets you edit your images without leaving Dreamweaver, painless cross-browser development, and more.

Get the most out of Dreamweaver.......2005-08-06

I use Dreamweaver everyday and I consider myself a power user but I still learned a few things from these books (I also own the MX version). I love shortcuts and this book is full of them. Several of the tips included I already knew but there were plenty of new ones that made the purchase well worth it. Dreamweaver is a huge program and it is impossible to learn everything about it unless you use it day and night. If you just know the basics of Dreamweaver, this book will help you unlock all those hidden features you never even know existed (including a game!). I gave this book a 4 because not all tips where useful (to me) and there were some tips that were not really Dreamweaver tips, they were more css tricks. While I appreciate the friendly, conversational tone the authors use, I find the humorous titles confusing. I thought they were amusing the first time but I quickly realized they are not helpful for finding the tips again later. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone wanting to get the most out of Dreamweaver. It is not a how-to book for beginners.

Fantastic tips, but not a definitive book.......2005-03-05

I picked up this book several months ago, and I keep coming back to it. I have been using Dreamweaver for six years, and I still picked up lots of great tips in this book. It's great as a tip resource, and one that you will keep coming back to, and I highly recommend it for its content. My two complaints about it are related to each other: The titles of the tips and the organization within the chapters.

In this book, there are tips called "Alias: The Dreamweaver Command" (for Clean Up HTML/XHTML), which don't really tell you what the tip is for. More concise tip titles describing the tip would be a lot easier to find what you are looking for. I would also like to see groups within the chapters. That also doesn't exist in this book.

That said, I highly recommend the book. Though it's not perfect, it's great!

Scott Kelby Is Funny. These Guys Are Just Annoying........2004-12-19

Do you have one of those uncles who thinks he's so-o-o-o-o funny, even when he's not? The kind of uncle who has to make a pun or other kind of word play every time he opens his mouth? Maybe you know the type. That's the feeling I got from this book...an unfunny, pathetic guy sitting around trying way too hard to be funny, and falling flat on his face 99% of the time. OK, so there are some good tips in here, but if writers Lowery and Buraglia had expended more time and energy clarifying their tips and a lot less time trying to be funny, this book probably would have been a great help. What makes anyone think that writing a "killer tips" book will make them as funny as Scott Kelby? When will some of these people stop trying to be comedians and start writing usable stuff? When will I learn to stop buying this stuff???

Disappointed.......2004-01-09

I have a truckload of computer books and almost always check the user ratings on Amazon before spending the money and time on a computer book. I was in need of a helpful Dreamweaver MX book and bought Killer Tips based on the reviews. I wish now that I had gone with a different book, I get more out of the "Getting Started..." book that came with the software. There are some good tips in the book but they are very difficult to find. If you like the Scott Kelby's Killer Tips series then ignore this review and buy the book. I have the same complaint with Photoshop6 Down & Dirty Tricks even though it has been helpful at times. I am not one of those that expected a computer book to be funny. The authors' poor attempts at humour are very distracting and a henderance to finding the information I want. If you got all the time in the world and like the Scott Kelby brand of humour then you will like this book. If you are on a tight deadline and need a solution fast, this is not the book for you. I didn't realize that it was a Scott Kelby book when I bought it, otherwise, I might have looked elseware.

Like an expert who's a phone call away.......2003-12-24

Web professionals have long kept a mental list (or a tidy PDA address book) of friends to call on when in need of a particular skillset or novel approach to a problem. The "Killer Tips" books are like having a library of friends right there on the book shelf. And the Dreamweaver MX 2004 edition is written by a couple of the best in the industry...and unlike the friend on the phone, these pages are available whenever you need them.

There's another audience that will really appreciate this book: the self-taught expert. If you've jumped into Dreamweaver and plodded around, making wonderful Web pages that look great and go "wicky wicky wicky", you may have missed out on learning some of the finer functionality of Dreamweaver--some of the time-saving tools that are available. Read through this book and teach yourself how to better use Dreamweaver--how to better take advantage of its possibilities.

And this volume is truly updated for the latest version of Dreamweaver, the MX 2004 edition, which has loads of new functionality and is built atop a CSS foundation. I am currently recommending this book to those who are asking me for the title of a good Dreamweaver book that isn't written like a manual.
