Book Description
Developing countries undergoing economic crises have traditionally followed economic restructuring programs that are based on the premise that private investment recovery is assured once the market is allowed to prevail. There is little regard for the micro-level unit - the 'investing-firm' - in this process, the conditions that characterize the product and factor markets and the positioning of the firm at the outset of adjustment. This book focuses on the firm and its experience in the restructuring process within the context of a heterogeneous private sector.
Book Description
640 jokes, anecdotes, and limericks, complete with notes on how to tell them, from America's leading renaissance man.
Customer Reviews:
Who knew?.......2004-04-22
I love Asimov's sci-fi and even some of his non-fic stuff, but let's be honest: he will never be the first guy you think of when the topic of humor comes up. But this book is nonetheless enjoyable and educational, in a way.
THE book on how to tell jokes.......2002-06-26
This not only shows you the great jokes of all time,
but also HOW to tell the jokes, with examples and samples.
Isaac Asimov does it again.
For everyone who loves telling jokes, this is THE book to get.
Funny Stuff.......2002-06-11
I have an older edition of this book...it is priceless. I enjoy it whenever I need a break - keep it at work. We all need humor, and Asimov had the kind of quirky sense of humor that enriches our lives....get this book.
Jokes with a purpose and a lack of meanness.......2001-12-22
In an age where humor is often laced with profanity or based on the ridicule of others, it is very pleasant to find a collection that is largely clean and often cerebral. This book contains a recollection of Isaac Asimov's favorite jokes along with instructions on how to deliver them. While Asimov is well-known as a prolific author, he was also a very funny man, possessing a sense of comedic timing that helped him earn hefty fees as a speaker.
While the jokes are good, it is clear that many of them would have to be delivered in the right manner to be funny. As you read Asimov's commentary, it is not difficult to imagine someone telling the story to maximum effect. Therefore, the book could also be used as a source for material as well as a primer on how to deliver an ice-breaking joke at the start of a public speech.
Isaac Asimov was a very talented man, capable of writing well about anything. His sense of humor was highly developed, something that is obvious from this book. I enjoyed it immensely and have occasionally used some of the jokes in my classes
Entertaining!.......2001-10-31
While not for everyone, for those who truly enjoy Asimov, this book is a must. Some of the jokes are laugh out loud funny, some will make you smile and some will make you read the explanation over and over again trying to figure them out. Of course, the explanations ARE the best part of the book. They provide more insights into the man and his times and are a joy to read. I also recommend I. Asimov - A Memoir and Yours, Isaac Asimov.

I like this book so much...it made me realise instantly all that i need to add to my service to make a the producer i needed to be.I was blessed.
A top pick.......2006-09-24
The S.M.A.R.T GUIDE to Becoming a Successful Producer/Engineer is a top pick for any involved in engineering and recording: it covers all the specifics of making a great album, from meeting with the artist to developing the sound and getting financial backing for a project. Chapters come from the President of Northwest Music and Recording: Bill Gibson's spent the past 25 years writing, recording, producing and teaching music, and his instructions cover all real-world issues from handling budgets to getting jobs done on time.

The Smart Guide is exactly that.......2006-04-20
I use the entire s.m.a.r.t guide series in recording classes. The material is presented in a very easy to understand format and can be easily absorbed by the begginer or advanced student. It is easy to see that Bill is not only an accomplished professional Recording Engineer, producer, and instuctor but also a very accomplished musician. This series is excellent.

Book Description
The national dancers of Uzbekistan are almost always female. In a society that has been Muslim for nearly seven hundred years, why and how did unveiled female dancers become a beloved national icon during the Soviet period? Also, why has their popularity continued after the Uzbek republic became independent? The author argues that dancers, as symbolic "girls" or unmarried females in the Uzbek kinship system, are effective mediators between extended kin groups, and the Uzbek nation-state. The female dancing body became a "tabula rasa" upon which the state inscribed, and reinscribed, constructions of "Uzbek" nationalism. Doi describes the politics of gender in households as well as the dominant kinship idioms in Uzbek society. She traces the rise of national dance as a profession for women during the Soviet period, prior to which women wore veils and kept purdah. The final chapter examines emerging notions of "Uzbek," as regional and national groups contest the notion through debates about what constitutes "authentic" Uzbek dance. Doi concludes with a comparative discussion of the power of marginality, which enabled Uzbeks to maintain a domain where Uzbek culture and history could be honored, within the Russocentric hegemony of the Soviet state.

A Wonderful Tribute to a Sweet, Sweet Series.......2001-11-02
With over 200 episodes in nearly 30 years, Last of the Summer Wine is Britain's longest-running situational comedy. Authors Morris Bright and Robert Ross have created a delightful (albeit poignant) look back at this enjoyable series and at the characters that have made it so memorable.
Chapters include a 28-year history of the show (how it came about, changes that occurred over the years, etc.); a behind-the-scenes look at the series, which takes us through the stages involved in getting from script to screen; a listing (together with brief quarter-page bios) of every guest star since 1973 (most of whom will be unfamiliar to North American audiences); and a complete episode guide (a brief summary of every episode from 1973 to 2000).
My favourite chapters are the three ("the Winos," "the Stronger Sex," and "the Henpecked") dedicated to those memorable main characters and the actors who have portrayed them. Ranging from one to six pages per actor, brief bios are given (mostly career summaries, really, as there isn't a lot of personal information provided); further, each actor (if still alive, obviously) discusses his or her respective character, what it's been like portraying that character over the years, and so on.
Physically, this 221-page hardcover is as lovely to look at as it is to read. Printed on heavy, glossy, high-quality paper, there are an abundance of photographs (all colour) throughout. There are lovely photos of the actors posing in full Summer Wine attire, shots of the filming of the series, and scenes from the series itself. (Unfortunately, there is only one photo of the cast out of costume--a shot taken at an awards' ceremony).
Perhaps the nicest thing about this book is the participation the authors received from everyone involved--from writer Roy Clarke and producer Alan J.W. Bell to the actors themselves--and the book is rife with their many anecdotes. The authors spent a lot of time on location with the cast and crew, and the book is very well researched. Sadly, their research for the book engulfed the period of Bill Owen's (Compo's) illness and subsequent death in July 1999 from pancreatic cancer. He was 85. Nevertheless, Owen worked right up till the very end; poignantly, "The Finest Vintage" seems as much a tribute to him as it is to the series.
In conclusion, this lovely book, dedicated to the memory of the irreplaceable Bill Owen, is a wonderful keepsake that will certainly be cherished by anyone who has enjoyed this sweet series. Highly recommended. (This review refers to the edition published in 2000. I mention this because I think there may have been an earlier edition, though I am not certain.)

Laughter is good for the soul........2000-09-06
And my soul definitely felt better after listening to this masterpiece of comedy and heart. Characters, long familiar to fans of the longest-running BBC comedy, Last Of Summer Wine, make their appearances here in the middle of fish and chips, barmaids and bicycles, secrets and peacocks, and the result is the funniest sequence of mishaps I've ever read. Roy Clarke, the man behind Keeping Up Appearances, among other things, treats his familiar subjects with affection and respect, making this not only a very funny book, but a heartwarming one as well. The dialog and narration of this piece is masterfully done by the actor who plays Clegg, and his voice, impressions, and accent alone are worth the rather hefty price here.
All in all, if you can scrape up the (at the time of this review) fifty dollars, do it! It will prove worth it as you listen to this book over and over, finding new humour every time. It just made me FEEL good to listen to it. Three thumbs up!

Book Description
Many Linux and Unix developers are familiar with the GNU debugger (GBD), the invaluable open source tool for testing, fixing, and retesting software. And since GDB can be ported to Windows, Microsoft developers and others who use this platform can also take advantage of this amazing free software that allows you to see exactly what's going on inside of a program as it's executing. This new pocket guide gives you a convenient quick reference for using the debugger with several different programming languages, including C, C++, Java, Fortran and Assembly. The GNU debugger is the most useful tool during the testing phase of the software development cycle because it helps you catch bugs in the act. You can see what a program was doing at the moment it crashed, and then readily pinpoint and correct problem code. With the GDB Pocket Reference on hand, the process is quick and painless. The book covers the essentials of using GBD is a testing environment, including how to specify a target for debugging and how to make a program stop on specified conditions. This handy guide also provides details on using the debugger to examine the stack, source files and data to find the cause of program failure-and then explains ways to use GBD to make quick changes to the program for further testing and debugging. The ability to spot a bug in real time with GDB can save you hours of frustration, and having a quick way to refer to GBD's essential functions is key to making the process work. Once you get your hands on the GDB Pocket Reference, you'll never let go!

In my opinion, the GDB quick reference that you can download for free is more useful. To go over the basics, this book is OK, but for daily lookup purposes, the quick reference is more useful.
I purchased this book as a "filler" to reach over $25 for free shipping. I'm a software engineer and do use GDB frequently.
