good introduction.......2007-07-05

The book is a good introduction to alternative fuels but for the svo conversion I found was not complete enough and doesn't have enough pictures and the diagrams are badly made. For the rest: recipes for biodiesel, and other it's good but still not much details. But anyway it's a must for anyone interested in the subject, being the only book available, but before doing anything ask around for more precise and recent advance in this technology.

Ecellent bio-diesel primer.......2006-11-10

This book is an excellent starting point for anyone interested in learning the basics of the renewable fuel bio-diesel.

Mr. Tickell does an excellent job in presenting the argument as to why, from an economic and envrionmental standpoint, our government should invest in renewable fuels. Job creation, reduced trade deficit, and the environment to name a few.

The most astounding bit of information I gleaned from this book is that the most promising future of bio-diesel lies in algea.

This book is worth the investment.

From the Fryer to the Fuel Tank: The Complete Guide to Using Vegetable Oil as an Alternative Fuel .......2006-11-10

Very helpful but quite thechnical...

Couldn't put it down.......2006-07-27

This is a great book for those interested in the subject. It was light enough to be able to read through in just a few hours, but detailed enough to be able to build practical biodeisel powered systems and processing equipment. It's a great resource. I gave it 4 stars because I believe the author glanced over details regarding deisel particulate emmisions and the clear bias toward Gaia.

Well Worth the Stink!.......2006-05-08

This is a very valuable book with very easy to follow directions to help you get free fuel at your local chinese restaurant or wing-stop. I've been able to provide two of my boys with free vegetable oil based fuel for their Nissan 4*4 turbo diesel pick ups. We filter the oil ourselves and despite the stink, it is a very rewarding venture. We have recouped our expenses and have put away over three thousand dollars between the two of them with the money that we saved. Life is fun! This book will help you with all you need to know. I only gave it four stars because I also greatly disagree with the authors Gaia earth worship global warming propganda, but if you can get past that, the meat of the matter is great.

Book Description

The inequalities that persist in America have deep historical roots. Evelyn Nakano Glenn untangles this complex history in a unique comparative regional study from the end of Reconstruction to the eve of World War II. During this era the country experienced enormous social and economic changes with the abolition of slavery, rapid territorial expansion, and massive immigration, and struggled over the meaning of free labor and the essence of citizenship as people who previously had been excluded sought the promise of economic freedom and full political rights.

After a lucid overview of the concepts of the free worker and the independent citizen at the national level, Glenn vividly details how race and gender issues framed the struggle over labor and citizenship rights at the local level between blacks and whites in the South, Mexicans and Anglos in the Southwest, and Asians and haoles (the white planter class) in Hawaii. She illuminates the complex interplay of local and national forces in American society and provides a dynamic view of how labor and citizenship were defined, enforced, and contested in a formative era for white-nonwhite relations in America.

A very practical guide to writing humorous pieces.......1999-06-04

In his forward to an anthology of humorous short stories, the Australian cartoonist, Bruce Petty, sagely commented: "Humorous writing is too hard." His advice? 'The best thing to do is give the whole business a wide berth." In this serious world, humour is becoming increasingly difficult to find. Fortunately, some newspapers and magazines continue to find a place for it and the Pulitzer Prizes have recognised it. One writers magazine has gone so far as to suggest we might see more funny pieces published. So the art form has not been lost altogether. Any aspiring writer of humour (or even those who may think they have made it) would do well to take Ken Pearson's 'Writing Humour" seriously, for it is a practical approach to discovering ideas and writing a range of humorous pieces from letters to the editor to whole articles and even columns (if you're really good and even luckier). A somewhat slender book, it is packed with useful and relevant information and, in the way the author approaches the subject, inspirational. In other words, it makes you want to write and takes you through a process of gathering material, structuring it into a readable piece, determining the form and writing from your own perspective. The book is published as part of the "How To Books" series within the broad category of 'successful writing'. If other books in the series are as helpful as this one, we can expect a new crop of writers in a very short time. And even if publication doesn't always come your way, there's a private satisfaction and, hopefully, enjoyment, in being able to compose a piece of humourous prose. Ken Pearson offers not so much a method as a pathway which, if followed, will always lead somewhere.

Book Description

"A specter lurks in the house of music, and it goes by the name of race," write Ronald Radano and Philip Bohlman in their introduction. Yet the intimate relationship between race and music has rarely been examined by contemporary scholars, most of whom have abandoned it for the more enlightened notions of ethnicity and culture. Here, a distinguished group of contributors confront the issue head on. Representing an unusually broad range of academic disciplines and geographic regions, they critically examine how the imagination of race has influenced musical production, reception, and scholarly analysis, even as they reject the objectivity of the concept itself.

Each essay follows the lead of the substantial introduction, which reviews the history of race in European and American, non-Western and global musics, placing it within the contexts of the colonial experience and the more recent formation of "world music." Offering a bold, new revisionist agenda for musicology in a postmodern, postcolonial world, this book will appeal to students of culture and race across the humanities and social sciences.

The Case for the Prosecution.......2002-03-18

The editors argue that music lies at the foundation of conceptions of race. Their contributions to this book make a case for that view, but the contention is sometimes more asserted than proven, and there are some crude generalizations that blunt the argument (e.g. "the European racial imagination", p. 27, as if there could be but one European way of thinking about race). In remaining unpersuaded, of course, I am not claiming that there is no connection between the ideas of music and race, rather that it may not be exactly of the kind the editors describe. The best contributions to this volume, then, are those that focus on more specific cases and those that deal also with music as music. (A few treat song lyrics without much sense of how the words are sung, which surely makes a difference to their expressive impact.)

Book Description

The quickest entry-point into most local cultures anywhere on earth is to be found in talking football. Historically, football is one of the great cultural institutions, and, like education and the mass media, has played a key role in shaping and cementing senses of national identity throughout the world. However, the nature of intra-nation hostility, which may be based in football or which may use the game as an arena for antagonisms, has yet to be analyzed. Football today is more global than ever before. Teams, clubs and regions increasingly establish cultural identities through rivalries and opposition. Such rivalries invariably have deep historical antecedents enforced by prejudice, myth or religious conflicts, economic inequalities, or, perhaps most profound, class and ethnic divisions.Issues of disorder and violence are routine by-products of the game the world over, and aggression, or the threat of it, characterizes many matches both minor and major. In short, football at all levels can become a site for symbolizing and expressing a variety of tensions. This timely volume fills a gap in the current literature on sport as the most extensive and incisive collection yet published on issues relating to football around the world. It uncovers and investigates the conflicts apparent in football rivalry by gathering together a series of in-depth case studies that span the football world.

very useful introduction.......2005-03-16

As an academic who studies radio, I found this to be an extremely useful introduction to how radio stations work. Although intended as a textbook for radio staff, this book is useful for anyone who needs to understand the sophisticated techniques radio stations use to decide what songs to play and how to develop their brands.
My only reservations are that it gives relatively little coverage to payola and to the ways in which chains centralize control through regional programming and research.

Process and Practice of Radio Programming.......2001-01-05

I have read this book over and over, and I can't figure it out. I bought because I thought it would teach me how to cook. It wasn't helpful at all. 1 star it gets from me.

Simply an Excellent Exchange Book.......2005-04-08

This one of the best books I have had in my life. Not only provides information about the entire Exchange topic that a professional Exchange Administrator will need. It also provides a large amount of information that you must to know in order to ensure a healthy life of your Exchange organization.
From the examples that the author brings, you can clearly notice that he has an outstanding experience in the field; he doesn't anything for himself turning all his knowledge into this book.
The book itself is very well organized, and the guides for getting results are clear. I have followed those guides for topics that are rare as restoring the exchange databases, complex operations using the command line and Exchange, using the tools in the Exchange Resource Kit.
I have also found tricks in this book that senior Exchange Administrator colleagues don't know how I discovered. Many of my secrets reside in the pages of this book and when facing problems this is will be always my first resource.
Certainly, the book is not an introduction to Exchange, you may need to know or have experience with Windows 2000 and email operation, don't expect that this book will teach you on subjects like Active Directory or others related to Windows 2000. Understanding that, and without a doubt, I recommend this book.

Useless.......2005-02-09

Unfortunately this book is not for those of us who need "how to" guidance. It is full of useless information and opinion, but very little substance. You are better off searching the web for information.

I've finally found something that I can run with!.......2004-08-15

This book is a complete guide that shaped my perspective in dealing with exchange at work. This is all of the real world, day to day "what you need to know and do" information that so many books lack.

If you are looking to study for the exchange exam this is the wrong item. Instead this very well written book will make you feel like the author is standing over your shoulder pointing out what is what, how to maintain and troubleshoot them all as well.

Full of checklists, how to's and the authors real world experiences and advice. Thanks Jim. Great job!

You can stop searching.......2004-02-12

This is the best exchange book out there for the "Real world" exchange administrator. If you own the exchange system in your company, you dont want to miss this one...

5 stars all the way.......2003-06-22

As a network manager, I have no time to wade throught most of the horrible E2K books out there. I have to know what my email administrator knows so I made certain I was on top of my game with E2K by purchasing and working through 3 book, one being this one. When we went to roll out E2K and then maintain it, this book provided the most info and help. The other 2 I will not name as I would not be rude to drop anything less than 2 stars on an authors hard work - that being said I will keep that other two titles anonymous. Pick this one up, you will be happy you did.
