Encouraging biographies.......2002-09-28

I have only been a life insurance agent for one and a half years now. Certainly, it has its ups and downs. I found this book during one of my down cycles. The stories (each chapter is a different autobiography of a top agent) while not giving specific pointers on how tos and marketing ideas are nonetheless encouraging in that you see the possibilities through people who have been there and survived. I enjoyed the book but would have loved for it to have more real pointers. Most of the advice is generic: hang in there, provide good service, give yourself time for your agency to develop, etc. Still great reading and a nice addition to an insurance agent's library. Books on insurance sales are few and far between. Two really great books are Frank Bettger's "How I raised myself from a failure to a success" and Kent Larsen's "A touch of Larseny." These both have great ideas. All are good. Success to all my fellow agents.

Book Description

This book presents cutting edge contributions from internation experts in the fields of international economics, micro theory, welfare economics and econometrics, honoring the achievement of economist John S. Chipman and the importance of his work.

Book Description

Very little literature exists on issues such as: the economy of culture, economics of libraries, economy of art, economy of religion, economy of sports, economy of film-rental, economy of broadcasting, or economy of TV.

Such literature does not exist because this economic theory has hardly been applied to these areas. In Economics: Enlightenment and Entertainment, author Sergey Khrystenko suggests that we consider:

- a new structure of enlightenment and entertainment services

- a horizontal structure of the enlightenment and entertainment market

- a criteria system of the resources used in the enlightenment and entertainment branches

- a vertical structure of the enlightenment and entertainment market

In Economics: Enlightenment and Entertainment you will find the answers to a significant number of problems concerned with the enlightenment and entertainment branches.

Book Description

The first anthology of its kind, Humor Me is a celebration of humor by authors from diverse cultures. Sixteen of today's most exciting writers—among them Sherman Alexie, Gish Jen, Charles Johnson, and Lucille Clifton—are represented in fiction, poetry, nonfiction, drama, cartoons, and graphic narratives. Whether using satire, parody, or farce, these writers explore the universal themes of love, family, sex, and race, and they do so in their own edgy, subversive, and sometimes skewed ways.

In Sherman Alexie's short story “Assimilation,” a Coeur d'Alene woman wants to cheat on her white husband with an Indian man, any Indian man—or, as Alexie puts it, “an indigenous stranger.” In Sandra Tsing Loh's essay “Daddy Dearest,” the author cringes when an old friend asks if her father still wears his underwear backward and does the Chinese snake dance on Pacific Coast Highway.

Nothing in Humor Me is taboo, as Erika Lopez proves in her illustrated tale of one environmentally conscious woman's attempt to subvert the tampon industry. Jim Northrup even takes on that American institution Jeopardy! in his satire “Shinnob Jep,” describing a game that quizzes its contestants on Native American trivia, including the categories “Trick or Treaties” and “Rez Cars.”

From low-brow to high-brow, from belly laughs to the cerebral, Humor Me places internationally renowned writers such as Charles Johnson and Gish Jen alongside rising stars Paisley Rekdal and Michele Serros and a host of newcomers, including Aimee Nezhukumatathil and Daniel Chacón.

Programmers and software architects don't really make a conscious decision to design an application (particularly one with online exposure) around the three-tier model-view-controller design pattern anymore. Three-tier, largely because of its adaptability and stability, is the norm. All of which means you need a database to underpin each of your applications. Designing your databases correctly can make the difference between slow-running, complicated code and software that's speedy, modular, and easy to work with. Database Design for Mere Mortals prepares someone with only a passing familiarity with databases for the important job of building the persistence layer (also called the data model) for software.

Michael Hernandez explains database design in tradesman's terms. That is, he shows his readers how to identify the business problems that have to be satisfied by a database, then proceeds to explain how to build a solid solution to them. Hernandez's approach combines procedural guidelines (first identify critical facts, then apply a certain logic to yield tables, then establish cross-references, and so on) with practical definitions that clear up much of the rich trove of jargon surrounding databases. He walks through numerous examples, and doesn't shy away from the complexities that always exist in real customers' requirements. If you're not familiar with database design, and want to be, this is the book you need. --David Wall

Topics covered: How to design databases that fit business requirements and make software construction easier. In addition to explaining relational database concepts, the author explains data integrity, null values, keys, table relationships (one-to-one, one-to-many, and many-to-many), and data types. He emphasizes processes designers should follow in building a new database or improving an existing one.

Book Description

Sound design can save you hours of development time before you write a single line of code. Based on the author's years of experience teaching this material, Database Design for Mere Mortals is a straightforward, platform-independent tutorial on the basic principles of relational database design. Database design expert Michael J. Hernandez introduces the core concepts of design theory and method without the technical jargon. With it's hands-on approach and a wealth of practical examples, Database Design for Mere Mortals will provide any developer with a common-sense design methodology for developing databases that work.

Database design.......2007-07-16

My wife wanted this book to help create a database for her work files. She finds it a great resource, very understandable so that mere mortals can read & use this book.

Beautiful.......2007-07-13

This book was recommended to me by the very man or designed the original database at my workplace.

Its a beautiful book, the explanations are in depth. There are plenty of diagrams that CLEARLY identify the authors intentions.

This is the first book i have no trouble reading it from front to back. For the record, i hate reading in general.

The best DB design book ever!.......2007-05-13

This is the database design process put in a way that is easy to understand. This book goes straight to the point. If you are a DBA or Developer, this book is for you.

Database Design.......2007-03-13

This is a great read if you want to come up to speed on the complexities of database design quickly. It's very well written and gets to the heart of the importance of design elements quickly. Well worth the price.

It Won't Make You an Overnight Expert, But..........2007-01-17

...it'll certainly get you on your way. I bought this book about six years ago when I first started dabbling in databases and programming. I had no clue what I was doing, so the "mere mortals" part of the title attracted me.

As I stated in my title, this book alone will NOT make you an overnight expert. Then again, it doesn't claim that it will do so. You'll need to take the lessons you can glean from this book and apply them, with some trial and error, over and over and over again, with refinements, before you come anywhere close to being an expert.

Six years later, I can design databases with ease. I no longer have difficulty understanding the intricacies of good relational database design and I've gotten more than a couple of jobs that required database design expertise.

Start here and use the book as a launchpad to learning more. If you stop here, you'll come across as an amateur, but if you start here, your desire to learn more will be your only limit.
