2 out of 5 stars Just ok .......2007-10-16

This book has excellent illustrations, but the flaps are flimsy and tear off easily. Its also hard to get the rhyming pattern when you're reading through. Pass on this one.

2 out of 5 stars BE CAREFUL!.......2007-10-01

My baby loves the pictures on this book, but be EXTRA CAREFUL! The flaps can easily be ripped off. My baby chewed the flap on this book and vomitted!

3 out of 5 stars Cute first book.......2007-09-14

This book is good for babies around one years old. It is a nice change from all the animal books available. The reader can pull parts of clothing away from the book baby to reveal a nose, hands, toes etc. and the baby can compare his body part with the one in the book. The only thing that was a little off-putting to me was that the the babies in the book were mostly girls and I have a boy.

5 out of 5 stars Loves It.......2007-08-27

My little absolutely loves these books. I have to read one or more of the everyday.

4 out of 5 stars Very happy with this book.......2007-08-14

Very cute book that keeps my 7 month old daughter still and quiet when putting her down for a nap. She always fights sleep and it's hard to get her to lie still, but when I pull out this book, she is mesmerized while I read it to her. The flaps are easy to tear off, but I have so far been successful at keeping her from pulling on them.

Newborns and 4 year olds all love these books. I give them to all of my friends as a baby shower gift.

4 out of 5 stars We <3 Karen Katz.......2007-05-16

These are, hands down, our daughter's favorite books. She enjoys them over and over. The illustrations are bright and cute -- highly recommend these books -- especially the lift the flap -- she LOVES them.

5 out of 5 stars Baby's Box of Fun.......2007-05-13

I purchased this book set for my grandson when he was 12 months old. Listening to books is the only time he actually sits still. His favorite book was Toes, Ears, & Nose although he likes all the books because they are interactive. The only problem with the books is if he is left unsupervised or even when holding him, he rips off the flaps in the books. We have had to glue them back on numerous times. I would highly recommend these books but you must be careful with babies that are aggressively interactive with the books.

5 out of 5 stars LOVE! LOVE! LOVE!.......2007-03-28

This item was received as a gift and my 2 yr old loves her lift the flaps books. Her favorite out of this collection is "Where is Mommy". I have also purchased them for my friends children and they love them.

1 out of 5 stars Never received mine, bought from 'oktrbks'.......2007-01-05

I bought this from 'oktrbks' and never received.
Contacted the seller and was asked if I want another copy so I said 'yes'
I have not received this yet. I was waiting for this because I believed the seller will send me an another copy. But now It's been more than 90 days so I can not even get my money back.
Not a big money but doesn't feel good at all about the seller's feedback.
Will see if the seller will contact me about this item or not.
I sent an memo to seller today again.

2 out of 5 stars excel for standard planning.......2007-07-29

I bought this book hoping to learn something new and advanced but found myself redaing things that are simple to impliment in excel.
There examples are on a very basic level , the templates that are supplied are for understandning the basics and no more then that.

Over all, I was very dissapointed. This book is for for beginers in excel who want to upgrade their thinking and planning to beginner plus level.

1 out of 5 stars Poorly Written and Confusing.......2004-12-22

This book does not help with understanding statistics. The examples are confusing and often point out a problem but never solve or resolve the problem. Don't buy this book!

5 out of 5 stars Excellent Undergraduate-Level Stats/Excel Book.......2003-11-02

This textbook combines good readability and yet is also relatively detailed. Statistics For Managers Using Excel 3E is well organized, with plenty of examples that make understanding the concepts easy. The problems at the end of the Chapter are excellent at drilling the concepts in student's heads, and the companion CD is also useful.

I will agree with the reviewers that mentioned the errors. There ARE some errors in this book, but overall compared to most other texts there are NOT a lot of them relatively speaking.

Overall, an excellent textbook for students taking a beginning undergraduate level Stats course.

1 out of 5 stars Blech - lots of errors, poor writing.......2003-09-13

I'm only through chapter 3, but I've found

* inconsistancies - not using the same term in the same manner; all through the chapter, it refers to class boundaries, but in the excersizes, they are called bins - you have to check out the solutions manual and figure out what they are asking for.

* circular definitions - using the term in the definition of the term you are describing (ie, frumious = being frumious)

* poor examples - when describing how to use an excel wizard to process data, it tells you to select E5:E12 - without describing what this range is supposed to be (bins? midpoints? data?)

* incorrect answers in the solution manual (some are right, some are not)

* PHStat does not function as specified in the book in all cases (ie, percentage polygons)

Frankly, the book is a big waste of cash, and should not be selected as a book to be used for statistics classes - unfortunately, neither the students nor the profs at the school I'm attending had a choice. I'm having a hard time believing this is a THIRD edition, with all the errors. Either the authors or the publishers can screw up on a first edition, but it takes an effort for both to do it, much less three times.

Too bad you can't give negative star reviews.

3 out of 5 stars Not bad, I guess..........2002-12-22

There is a newer edition out. However, the good thing about this one is the fact that they got a good Excel Section.

1 out of 5 stars Bring on the confusion and mistakes.......2002-11-06

A worse textbook I have not seen. It's riddled with mistakes and misprints. The authors should be ashamed. The examples are virtually impossible to follow. Unfortunately, most students don't have a choice but if you do go with Statistical Techniques in Business and Economics (Mason, Lind & Marchal).

4 out of 5 stars where is a solution manual.......2006-03-29

anyone know where to buy a solution manual for this?

1 out of 5 stars Poorly organized and insufficient........2005-02-09

This book is poorly organized. It lacks sufficient examples for many of the problems and exercises - what little is available is not sufficiently labeled to be fully understood. The Managerial Accounting Study Guide that can be purchased separately offers very little help. Furthermore, no answers are available in the book or the study guide, so unless you purchase the Solutions Manual (yes, you have to spend more and more to make sense of this mess), you will be lost. As a college student with a 3.9 GPA, I can say with confidence, this book is terrible.

4 out of 5 stars A Big Dose of Managerial Accounting.......2000-04-27

This book is very good for teaching you managerial accounting. I used this book in college and found it to actually be of use, unlike a lot of college textbooks. You could read the chapter and be able to do the exercises at the end of the chapter.

I mean, you know the types of books where they have questions and it's literally impossible to deduce how to answer the questions from the chapter. This book is not like that. It teaches you how to prepare specialized documents for internal business usage. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was because I felt that the information could be better organized as to make it easier to find.

    Book Description

    Managerial Economics Using Excel uses the Microsoft Excel spreadsheet to create an environment that provides a readily accessible structural framework for economic analysis. Students are shown how to create and develop a variety of economic models and then easily subject these models to a range of `what-if' investigations, designed to illustrate the economic effects of variations in both the parameters and the structure of the model. Graphs and charts can then be prepared to provide an interactive display of the comparative static effects that would normally require a large number of `hard copy' diagrams. Thanks to the explanation and use of the Excel Solver, there is no need for calculus to consider optimisation issues, thereby allowing topics such as profit maximisation, cost minimisation, etc., to be considered in a manner that requires little mathematical background. Designed to be extremely user friendly, the text is the result of delivering a Managerial Economics module, based on this material, to more than 300 students, with outstanding results as stated by three external examiners. Finally, unlike many Managerial Economics texts, the material is not exclusively micro-economic based. Various macro-economic issues that impinge upon managerial decision making - such as exchange rates - are also discussed. An accompanying CD containing all of the models developed allows easy access to the material as and when instructed by the body of the text. An additional set of examination type problems are also included that are automatically marked online.

              5 out of 5 stars Best First Guitar Book For Aspiring Rock Guitarists.......2002-10-10

              I wish I knew about this book when I bought my first guitar. This book requires no knowledge of guitar playing or music reading - for the absolute beginner. I waisted a little time with other books before I found this book.
              What makes this book unique is that it teaches you picking(lead) and open chords(rhythm) at the same time. There are a variety of songs you learn that you play both lead and rhythm against. The songs are not hard to master (no Mary Had a Little Lamb or Twinkle Twinkle Little Star).
              The lessons takes you through different types of chords (major, minor, 7th, major 7th, 6th, etc). This book sould be followed by Progressive Rock Guitar Technique and Progressive Rock Guitar Licks. When you finish these I recomend Progressive Blues guitar Method and Technique and Progressive Heavy Metal Guitar Technique to sharpen your technique and style.

              3 out of 5 stars GOOD BUT SHORT.......2001-09-25

              This book is quite good for beginners, cause it gives a good introduction both in chords ( open chords are explained in this book ) and in solo-playing, and the CD is of great help. The songs also are quite nice. But what I found irritating about it, is that there are too few exercises: it is simply too short!!!

                Challenging, yet attainable. Book is well written and the balance of riffs and rhythm guitar is good. Not for absolute beginners as it begins with barre chords. Good for introducing lead guitar to rhythm players.

                5 out of 5 stars Great Rock Intro.......2002-10-07

                This book introduced me to slides, bends, hammers, pull-offs, and bar chords. When I first reached this level the book was long enough at the time for me to handle. This is excellent for the beginner.
                To get deeper into the techniques, I recomend "Progressive Blues Guitar Method" by Peter Gelling and "Progressive Heavy Metal Guitar Technique" by Rod Ling.
                The Pregressive books are meant to be sections of a larger course. This book is book 2 of Progressive Rock Guitar Method/Technique/&Licks.

                        Book Description

                        Your First-Step into the World of Wireless Networks

                        As a basic introduction to wireless networking, Wireless Networks First-Step assumes that readers have no previous wireless experience. The book provides an overview of wireless networking, along with details of applicable standards and technologies. Newcomers to wireless technologies will find practical information along with an abundance of examples. Case studies throughout the chapters provide real-world implementation examples, presented in a non-technical fashion. Implementation details are discussed only to the extent that readers can identify what type of wireless network may be appropriate for their needs.

                        Wireless Networks First-Step, written by Jim Geier, begins with a basic introduction to wireless networks and an explanation of radio wave communications. It then reviews different types of wireless networks including WPANs (wireless personal area networks), WLANs (wireless local area networks), wireless MANs (metropolitan area networks), and WWANs (wireless wide area networks). The final section covers security threats to wireless networks, and solutions to combat these threats.

                        From Cisco comes a very easy to read explanation of what is a wireless network and how to set one up. Clearly addressed to the technology neophyte.

                        Geier shows the basic ideas behind multipath propagation, and attenuation of a signal due to air, water and obstacles. He also outlines the qualitative features of various communication encodings, like Quadrature Amplitude Modulation, Phase Shift Keying and spread spectrum. The amount of maths behind these, in technical texts, is immense. But he gives you the gist.

                        There is also a good discussion of security in a wireless net, and what you can do to protect yourself.

                        As a basic introduction to wireless networking, Wireless Networks First-Step assumes that readers have no previous wireless experience. Wireless network expert Jim Geier provides an overview of wireless networking, along with details of applicable standards and technologies. Newcomers to wireless technologies will find practical information along with an abundance of examples. Case studies throughout the chapters provide *real world* implementation examples, presented in a nontechnical fashion. Implementation details are discussed only to the extent that readers can identify what type of wireless network may be appropriate for their needs. An *especially* *recommended* instructional "how to" manual for the novice, Wireless Networks First-Step would make a welcome and appreciated addition to *high school* computer class reference collections and community library resources for non-specialist general readers wanting to understand the new wireless technologies.

                        3 out of 5 stars It's a Start..........2004-12-22

                        I was recently tasked with creating a wireless network in our test lab. I managed to stumble through and ended up creating a very secure wireless network. However, throughout the process, I kept finding myself wishing I had more information on the technology. Not knowing the vocabulary made the process harder than necessary and I ended up with a lot of "what" and "why" questions that needed to be answered. Wireless networking is a growing market, and Cisco even recently added Enterprise Wireless Mobility to their new CCIE blueprint, so I figured I had better get it into my repertoire pronto. To begin filling in those gaps, I picked up Wireless Networks First-Step (ISBN 1-58720-111-9) from Cisco Press.

                        The book itself is a bit light, at only 200 pages, and is divided into 8 short chapters. The author, Jim Geier, attempts to introduce the material without getting overly technical. He doesn't make this a riveting read, by any stretch, and will probably lose most CIO types by the middle of the second chapter. The book claims to be for everyone interested in wireless networking, but I don't see it working for anyone above the "manager of engineers" level. This is primarily due to the presence of the unavoidable chapter on radio frequencies and modulation. I found it very interesting, but I know that the average non-technical manager is going to glaze right over and shut down. The chapters on the individual technologies (PAN, LAN, MAN, WAN) are interesting. I'd like to have seen a lot more material on Wireless LANs, since that is the area most engineers are going to actually deal with in their own networks. The final chapter, covering wireless security, is probably the best in the entire book. It answered many of the questions I had about the various security protocols I was implementing. For instance, I knew WEP was weak, but didn't know why precisely. The security chapter really brought the reasoning home.

                        My overall feeling on this book is that it is a little light to be list priced at $29.95. The sister books in the series are all around 400 pages for this price. Maybe the newness of the technology makes this book so light, or perhaps the mission can be accomplished in 200 pages, but you shouldn't charge the same for half the material. I felt that the author offered all the necessary information about wireless technologies, but virtually none about the actual implementation of those technologies. Perhaps that is where the other 200 pages went. I also would have like to have seen more references to other sources of information on these wireless technologies. The aim of these first-step books should be to whet your appetite for more, and this book doesn't really do that.

                        I give this book a score of 3 pings on my 5 ping rating scale. I'd give it 4 if it was $19.95.

                        Reviewer Name: Steve Owen Scheiderer, Network Administrator
                        Reviewer Certification: MCSE NT 4.0, CCNA

                        ISBN: 1-58720-111-9


                        Even though this book is smaller than other First-Step books I've reviewed, it is "big" in the insights it provides the reader. As the saying goes: "Dynamite comes in small packages." This book by Jim Geier will assist the reader in understanding the underlying technology, compatibility and security issues associated with wireless networks.

                        While it may be tempting to view wireless networks as a simple solution to pulling cable, Geier takes the reader through the somewhat complex considerations for a successful wireless implementation. Whether wireless PANs, LANs, MANs or WANs (Chapters Four through Seven) are needed for a productive business each category has unique variables to consider and this book treats each in turn. An overarching theme in most chapters is security and the book ends with a strong chapter (Eight) on this crucial subject. (Couple this with Network Security First-Step by Tom Thomas and one has an even bigger charge of dynamite.)

                        The intermediate or advanced reader may find the "Wireless Network Applications" and "Benefits" sections of Chapter One to be too long, detailed and somewhat redundant. What would have been helpful to the beginning reader is more emphasis on network security up front. Chapter Two not only explains "How Wireless Works" but also gives good practical advice on various levels - especially compatibility issues. (See ISA, p. 35, Mini-PCI, p. 36, 10Base-T, p. 47, and Optical Fiber, p. 48 to mention a few examples.)

                        After the quick-read of Chapter One, the reader will have to slow down the pace to absorb technical details of Chapters Two and Three. I found myself sketching out some of the discussion to better visualize how everything fits together. As with most technical books the "alphabet soup" of terms can get a bit overwhelming. A couple of terms I could not find definitions for in the text, glossary or index. (It would have been nice to know where a strange term like "bluetooth" comes from as this information would make one seem really smart at parties.)

                        Because Geier's years of experience and practical suggestions shine throught the book, I would definitely read other titles by this author and his team of technical editors. I give Wireless Networks First-Step a 4.5 rating on a scale of 1 to 5. An on-line errata page would greatly assist the reader in filling in some of gaps, typos, etc. missed by the author and editors.

                        1 out of 5 stars it's at most a baby step........2004-11-19

                        This book is SO basic that I found it useless. I was hoping for a book with a little depth and some really practical information, but this has neither. I suppose if you want to learn the buzzwords but will never need to actually do anything with a wireless network it's okay, but if you need to actually set one up you should look elsewhere.
