Good for absolute beginners.......2007-08-03

I bought this book because, as an absolute beginner in the world of DVD creation, I couldn't figure out how to do most anything with the software. This book gave me the leg up I needed; now I can figure the rest of the program out myself (which is the point of the CIB series, anyway).

I didn't find the lack of color pictures a problem at all; the B&W photos are very clear. In all, I think it was a good buy.

A decent guide to the program, but less for your $ than others in the series..........2007-01-10

Despite other titles in the "Classroom in a Book (CIAB)" series being exceptional, this book falls a little short. While other books in the series contain full color and over 400 pages, this one is Black & White and just over 200 pages. The training moves very slowly at first and does contain examples of most of the features of the product. I just feel that the organization of the material is a little weak and after using the Premier 2.0 CIAB and just looking at the After Effects 7.0 CIAB, that came today, I find it a weaker effort. Admittedly, I did need to get a DVD authored prior to getting too far into the book, but I feel it could have really been improved with Color.

Disappointed.......2006-11-27

Like the previous reviewer, I found the lessons difficult to follow. The text is cumbersome and the illustrations are poor. I still believe Encore DVD 2 is a great product, but if you are looking to learn how to use it with this book, I would suggest saving your money and continuing your search.

Book Description

This Elibron Classics book is a facsimile reprint of a 1843 edition by William Tait; Simpkin, Marshall, & Co., Edinburgh; London.

Book Description

This book contains the papers and posters presented at the Eucarpia Fruit Breeding Section Meeting held at Wädenswil/Einsiedeln, Switzerland from August 30 to September 3, 1993. It gives an overview of the latest trends in temperate fruit breeding in Europe and overseas. Three subjects were considered in special workshops: durability of scab resistance in apple, biotechnology and molecular markers. One important aim of modern fruit breeding is stable resistance to pests and diseases. Molecular markers might help to identify the genetic basis of important characters related to disease and pest resistance and components of yield and quality. Gene transfer has been successfully applied in several fruit species. However, public opinion in many countries does not favour this new technology and its products. Despite these new approaches, traditional breeding methods still predominate; many aspects of traditional breeding are considered in this book. Genetic resources and their exploitation are dealt with in a special chapter. Aspects of breeding minor crops such as walnut, almond, hippophae, cornel, etc. are also considered. Progress in Temperate Fruit Breeding is meant for fruit breeders, pomologists, lecturers, students and growers.

Book Description

The differential geometry of a regular Lagrangian is more involved than that of classical kinetic energy and consequently is far from being Riemannian. Nevertheless, such geometries are playing an increasingly important role in a wide variety of problems in fields ranging from relativistic optics to ecology. The present collection of papers will serve to bring the reader up-to-date on the most recent advances. Subjects treated include higher order Lagrange geometry, the recent theory of -Lagrange manifolds, electromagnetic theory and neurophysiology.
Audience: This book is recommended as a (supplementary) text in graduate courses in differential geometry and its applications, and will also be of interest to physicists and mathematical biologists.

Book Description

This book deals with the theory of Poincaré--Birkhoff normal forms, studying symmetric systems in particular. Attention is focused on general Lie point symmetries, and not just on symmetries acting linearly. Some results on the simultaneous normalization of a vector field describing a dynamical system and vector fields describing its symmetry are presented and a perturbative approach is also used. Attention is given to the problem of convergence of the normalizing transformation in the presence of symmetry, with some other extensions of the theory. The results are discussed for the general case of dynamical systems and also for the specific Hamiltonian setting.

"Townsend's wickedly funny novels are another reason to be grateful for the right of free speech."- San Francisco Chronicle

"Townsend is [a] comic genius."- The Village Voice (a Top Shelf selection)

"The latest careening satire to emerge from Sue Townsend's wickedly literary rocket launcher, combining love, politics and credit-card debacle into a not-to-be-missed novel."- The Seattle Times

"Complex, funny and wrenching."- Publishers Weekly

Adrian Mole, now age thirty-four and three quarters, needs proof that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction so he can get a refund from a travel agency of the deposit he paid on a trip to Cyprus. Naturally, he writes to Tony Blair for some evidence.

He's engaged to Marigold, but obsessed with her voluptuous sister. And he is so deeply in debt to banks and credit card companies that it would take more than twice his monthly salary to ever repay them. He needs a guest speaker for his creative writing group's dinner in Leicestershire and wonders if the prime minister's wife is available.

In short, Adrian is back in true form, unable-like so many people we know, but of course, not us-to admit that the world does not revolve around him. But recognizing the universal core of Adrian's dilemmas is what makes them so agonizingly funny.

I couldn't put this one down all day..........2006-10-15

Adrian Mole and the Weapons of Mass Destruction by Sue Townsend was one of those library books that attracted me due to the quirky title and unusual cover. Having no background with Townsend's work or any other Mole novels, I really didn't know what to expect. What I found was an incredibly funny English novel that I was unable to put down until I was finished.

Adrian Mole is a 34 year old single guy living with his parents and working in a second-hand bookstore. He has a couple kids by different women, but the relationships didn't work out in the long run. In order to live the style of life he envisions for himself, he buys a flat on Rat Wharf and proceeds to spend himself into an incredible crushing load of debt using credit cards. His life starts to spiral downhill when he dates a mousey "organic" lady by the name of Marigold Flowers. Her parents are into "natural living" to the extreme, and he quickly figures out that this is not the family and lady he wants. But he has a hard time saying no, and pretty soon he's engaged to be married to a woman he doesn't love and that is apparently with child. To complicate issues further (as if they weren't already warped), he's madly in love with Marigold's sister, a fashionable public relations woman who is as wild as Marigold is sedate. He knows what he needs to do, and everyone else can see what he should be doing. But knowing and doing are separated by an ever-widening gap...

This story is told in diary fashion, with Mole writing in the first person. In many ways, it's like watching a reality TV show. Mole has a much more important view of himself than what really is the case, and it's a hoot watching the train wreck unfold. There are a number of current event themes running through the couple of years covered by the diary, mainly centered around the start of the Iraq war. I'm sure having a good grasp of British life would make a few of the things more clear to this American reader, but it really doesn't matter. It was all too funny and felt all too real...

My next step is to check out the first four Adrian Mole novels... If they are anything like this, I'll be losing a couple more weekends to these pages.

Adrian Mole Grows Up, Sort Of..........2006-05-22

The Adrian Mole saga which began with Adrian's secret diary (aged thirteen & three quarters) continues, as the famous loser moves into his mid-thirties. He's still wildly grandiose, his grip on reality is shaky at best, but life is starting to grind him down. He's living in a posh flat he can't possibly afford. He's still hopeless infatuated with Pandora, he finds himself (somehow) engaged to Marigold, who he can't stand, and he's falling hopelessly in debt. Oh yes, he's been writing to the British Prime Minister about those weapons of mass destruction. He needs the evidence for--well, never mind. Just read the book.

Improbable and depressing as all this might sound, it works. It's not knee-slapping comedy, but it's funny, and it's also sad, as Adrian's failures and mistakes accumulate and haunt his present life. He's still trying to get his life together, and this time he might just make it. Somehow you come to like Adrian Mole in spite of everything.

Sue Townsend is a brilliant comedic writer, with a flair for character development and social commentary. How she manages to keep this series going, with its improbable cast of characters, is simply amazing. She's just good. I enjoyed this book immensely and I recommend it highly. Reviewed by Louis N. Gruber.

Wonderful, sharp and hilarious........2006-04-11

I picked up this book having not read any Adrian Mole for many years. As I am roughly the same age as Adrian I was curious to see where life had taken him. I was so glad that I did because this book is fantastic. I don't think I have ever read a book so fast! I will use the well worn cliches that 'I couldn't put this book down' and that it is 'laugh out loud funny'. I usually hate it when people smugly laugh out loud whilst reading books, but I honestly couldn't help myself with this one. Much to the annoyance of my wife!

Adrian is now 35 (going on 70) and his love life and financial situation are both in turmoil. He gets himself into such sticky situations due to the naivity which has been evident throughout all of his diaries. He makes very bad decisions but still remains totally charming and lovable. It is to Townshends credit that she is able to make this motley collection of characters feel so real and sympathetic. Add to that a biting sense of humour about recent world affairs and pop culture and you have a book that is hilarious and heartwarming. Perfect. This made me go back and re-read all of the other Mole books again.

bloody hilarious.......2006-02-05

adrian mole's life is miserable yet funny, so funny that i want to live his life. sue townsend portrays all the characters, including the wicked swans, with rich and colorful details. the letter correspondences and adrian's dilemma about the war weave the diary entries into a wonderful read. it brings tears and laughters, mixes agonies and aspirations.

i just started my very first diary entry in a decade! and i can't wait for the next installment.

A delightful return..........2006-01-07

Adrian Mole is back, hitting 35, and his life is still a well intentioned shambles. Working at a used book store, deeply in debt, he still retains the charming naivite that made his youthful diaries so entertaining. I read Sue Townsend for the first time when I was in high school and much like the "35 Up" film series, keep returning to catch up with her delightful creation every five to seven years. Adrian never really changes, just accumulates more life experience and muddles on. He is as original a character as any I've ever read.

This volume is attuned to the times... the title itself hints at the emotional arc of the story. Adrian has some growing up to do, and does it by the journal's end. "Mass" is not without its poignant moments -- Adrian's son is serving in the war, for instance-- but it is never a downer.

Highly recommended to fans of the original. You won't be disappointed.

This is a masterpiece of naive common sense.......2007-09-29

Is it the last volume of the Adrian Mole saga? Of course not. I doubt it very much. There is no end to a good recipe, a ratatouille or a beef and kidney pie. But we'll see. This volume is extremely interesting. For our Adrian Mole is still Adrian Mole. He is naïve and he is sending to us a very simple-minded vision of the world that is absolutely disarming - a must with the title we know - in naivety and vanity. This vain naivety or naïve vanity is his trademark and it is marvelously refreshing. It could probably not break a man's arm, but it can break, even smash, a man's despair. And this here volume is still a perfect example, at the age of 35, nearly middle-aged, of this entertaining village philosopher from Leicester. The book is also fascinating because we are in 2002-2004 and the central problem is the war on Iraq and Blair's support, till the day when he acknowledges there were no WMDs. The political question is systematically shown through the opinions of various people. Adrian is pro-Blair and he supports his own son when he is sent to Iraq, though he is frightened by the prospect of his son's death for and with no cause, and actually the son's best friend is killed by shrapnel. Pandora is against the war and she resigns from Blair's government. And between the two we find all kinds of shades. The dramatic dimension of the problem is strong because of the son's position in the armed forces. At the same time the book criticizes all kinds pf shortcomings of Blair's policy and of capitalistic greed. Adrian and his father are confronted to the National Health Service, and Adrian is suddenly thrown into bankruptcy by greedy banks and various store- or credit-card providers as well as by his vain desire to live over his means. The book is also fascinating because of the love life or rather non-love and/versus love lives of Adrian. He finds himself trapped by a false pregnancy and ends with a real third child born in love. Finally the book is fascinating because of the numerous vignettes it provides on various characters and situations: the independent bookseller, the local would-be or wanna-be writer, the protection of Her Majesty's swans, the Koran, Chinese restaurants, baby-boomers, vegetarian or bio-friendly people, etc... There you feel a high level of irony, humor, sarcasm, and that is so English, so brilliantly English.
