I was feeling really down until I read this book and now, after 27 years in the profession, I can remember why I love this job!!!

Heart-warming stories that touch our hearts........2006-02-27

I work as a Director of Nursing and I enjoyed this stories.

CD version is excellent.......2005-08-29

I am a nurse and work in a hospital. I ordered the CD version of Chicken Soup for the Nurse's Soul to give to a nursing unit to show my appreciation of their work. But before giving it to them, I listened to the CD. These stories are so touching that most of them brought tears to my eyes. They certainly help nurses remember the reasons we chose nursing as a career in the first place. The CD allows for a quick listen in the break room and several people can listen at the same time. A great CD. Looking forward to another publication on this topic. Thanks

* The first book to examine a major new factor in tourism --the rapid growth of tourism within developing countries and regions
* Analyses the nature, magnitude and impact in different contexts and countries
* Covers Asia, Africa and Latin America
* Vital subject for development, economics and social policy
* Published with the UN Research Institute for Social Development

Domestic tourism in developing countries is rapidly outstripping international tourism and could soon involve 10 times the numbers. Despite the rapid growth, it has not been studied. This is the first book to examine the numbers involved, their profile, behavior, impacts and the relevant policy responses. The volume looks at the impacts of local mass tourism in various socioeconomic and environmental contexts and on diverse social groups. It provides analysis and overviews of seven of the main countries involved in Asia, Africa, and Latin America.

...and please remember to stiff your waiter.......2005-07-03

Oh the fun you'll have and stories you'll tell. Here's a book written by an insider (viz. waiter) about how to get free meals from restaurants. By 'free' of course, I mean 'stolen', but what's the difference? Particularly charming is the section on getting the whole family involved--using your children as pawns in a gambit to acquire that elusive free Bloomin' Onion. A fun read, but I don't have the balls or desire to go to jail to actually do this stuff.

Excellent Book / Excellent Author.......2004-03-14

I love this book!! This is an excellent book on how to beat a check, and also a little "beating the world around you" if you read into it properly! I put it right up there with gaslighting! I also met the author once...great mind/great person! Would recommend 100%!! Happy reading!

FREE FOOD!.......2000-06-22

Come on... read this book, who wouldnt like a book that gives you very good instructions on how to eat for free... I am very acomplished in this skill, but i got banned from all of the Pizza huts in my area (which is pretty bad because i live in wichita, KS, where the first Pizza hut was) because i found a sure fire way of getting free pizzas! (all you do is tell them you have a credit for a large pizza with the toppings you want) What are you waiting for! go buy this book now!

Book Description

The punk explosion of the mid-1970s unleashed an amazing wave of creativity, both musically and graphically. As punk’s DIY, cut-and-paste ingenuity gave rise to groundbreaking designers like Jamie Reid and Neville Brody, the picture sleeve became an essential aspect of any new single. Featuring a wealth of data and over 700 color photos of sleeves of the era — from heavyweights like the Clash and the Buzzcocks to influential unknowns like Subway Sect — Punk On 45 is not just an invaluable reference but a visual feast, capturing the artistic zeitgeist of this dynamic era.

Book Description

Long known as a pioneer in the sociological study of communications and of the middle class, and as a prominent member of the New School's "University in Exile," Hans Speier here presents a humanist view of the darker side of contemporary civilization and offers insights into the nature of social order and the role of uncommon people in it: the Hero, the Fool, and the political philosopher. After an autobiographical discussion of the evolution of his works, this collection of seminal essays that span his whole career surveys five areas of thought: social theory, war and militarism, public opinion and propaganda, the history of literature, and "the present and the future." Reflecting the range of his intellectual concerns and his experience as a refugee from Nazi Germany, his writings examine honor and social structure, hero worship, militarism in the eighteenth century, psychological warfare, and Shakespeare's The Tempest, among other topics.

Product Description

Ally McBeal, the popular Fox television series (19972002), was both groundbreaking and controversial. With its challenging presentation of gender roles and gender politics, the show provided fuel for an ever-expanding international debate over feminism and the roles of women in modern society. In 1998, Time Magazine ran a cover story featuring a photo of the Ally McBeal character alongside three of the feminist movements most memorable figures. The article was suggestively entitled, Is Feminism Dead? This collection of essays addresses that important question as it relates to the presentation of womens behaviors, desires and images in Ally McBeal. It considers the challenges that womens sexuality presents to feminism and looks at feminist thought regarding female professionalism and contemporary marriage. Also discussed is the struggle for an understanding of masculinity in light of feminisms growing challenge to patriarchy. Other topics include the series groundbreaking narrative structure, its critique of society and the law in the early 21st century, and its treatment of minority characters. Contrary to the implications of Time Magazines coverage, this book argues that Ally McBeal is a positive feminist text from the perspective of post-feminist theory.

Useful, but limited in scope and effectiveness.......2006-02-03

I bought this book hoping it would be a good introduction to Zope 3. I browsed it in the bookstore and it seemed to include all necessary ingredients introduced in a sensible sequence.

The book is targeted at reasonably experienced developers, who know well the basic concepts of content publishing, and who've written Python code far beyond the "hello, world!" stage.

My main gripe with it, is that it assumes too much that the reader is familiar with the Zope 2 platform. As such, many terms were left unexplained, while others were presented only by comparison with their Zope 2 counterparts.

Subsequently, although this isn't exactly the fault of the author, the book was primarily written using a development version of Zope 3. In all fairness, the book was published shortly after the first final release of Zope 3, so it would have been impossible to meet the deadline of the publisher and have written it all using the final release. So, some things work, others don't without some tweaking.

The general structure of the book is sound. Some things could have been introduced at different places in the development stage. For instance, internationalisation is described extensively before the reader is presented anything about component development, which seems backwards to me. In general, however, the progression is fairly natural.

A typical chapter presents the scenario of the lesson, followed by an example, followed by the functional tests. The main problem is that there is little analysis, if any, about the principles of the system just introduced. Generalising from the examples in the book is very difficult for two reasons: they include the idiosyncrasies of the author, and other sources of documentation of Zope itself are too scarce and miserable to allow one to achieve a deeper understanding of the point of view of the author.

To put it shortly, the book presents the personal views of the author on Zope 3 development, with very few explanations of the logic behind them. Perhaps these reasons are obvious for a reader experienced with Zope 2. However, given the radical design differences between Zope 2 and Zope 3 (claimed on their site), I fail to see why I should first learn Zope 2, in order to easily understand this book.

The focus on functional tests is admirable, and many developers will, hopefully, learn from it. However, I believe it is misplaced in a book that suffers from the lack of explanations of the reasoning behind the author's opinion.

Ultimately, it is just some structured information about a product that doesn't have virtually any documentation aside of IRC logs and some functional tests, which are considered to be documentation by its developers. No matter how self-documenting their code might be (and it is!), the structure of such a complex system cannot be learnt only from reading the source code.

I asked myself if I would buy this book after, say, having borrowed it for a while from a library. I tend to say no.

If you needed to learn Zope 3 immediately, then buy it. It's probably the best book available on this topic at the time I'm writing this review. However, it is nowhere near good.

Excellent info, awkward editing.......2005-10-28

While the information is great, there could have been a lot more done in the editing process to clean up sentence and paragraph structure. In several instances the author will present multiple potential approaches to an issue but only cover one of the approaches.

If you use Zope 3, have this book on your desk.......2005-02-27

Having Stephan Richter's Zope 3 Developer's Handbook next to you while you work signals to everyone that a) you're using the world's most advanced web application platform and b) you're into serious productivity!

Zope 3 Developer's Handbook started its life as a series of "recipes" -- short, pithy how-tos that don't waste time with theory and get you straight into the code. Stephan has preserved this pattern to create an essential tutorial and reference that, well, reads like a book! (I.e. something you can hold in one hand, leaving your other hand free to sip your favorite beverage, slumped on the couch...you know, a book :-)

I'm a contributor to the Zope 3 project and have a fairly good idea of what I'm doing when it comes to using the platform. After getting Stephan's book, I was surprised at how much I didn't know! And this is coming from a book that is eminently approachable and easy to use. It's density of information sneaks up on you -- like, "wait a minute...I just coved a ton of ground...that was really easy."

Okay, some credit goes to the Zope 3 team, which assembled a remarkably straight forward platform for web application development. Nonetheless, Stephan shows a mastery for putting the pieces together to in way that's educational and easy to use.

One of the strengths of the book is that it's code-centric. If you're a Python developer you'll appreciate that code speaks louder than words. Stephan understands this and wrings as much instructive power from the code as any Python aficionado could expect.

If you're not a Python developer, don't dismay! You have a lot to look forward to in this book -- you not only get to learn about Zope 3, you get to see first hand why Python is the "Best Darned Programming Language on Earth" [tm]. (Disclaimer: not really trademarked ;-)

If you're not familiar with Zope but are interested in web application platforms (including the enterprise heavy weights J2EE and .NET), take a serious look at Zope 3 through Stephan's book. While Zope 3 is not a complex layer of heavy handed architectural frameworks (a lot of people think this is a mark of a good platform), it is extraordinarily capable at building world class apps. (I use the term "word class" in the rich tradition of PR prose...hackers, please disregard.)

I guess I'm endorsing the book. Darn...I wanted to write one of those hard hitting New York Times reviews that caused Stephan to reconsider his career as an author. Sadly for my career as a critic, I picked the wrong book to write about ;-)

So, anyone still on the fence by now should click "Add to Shopping Cart" anyway. At the very least, having Stephan's book on your desk will make you look extremely savvy and have your colleagues scratching their heads wondering if it's the new shirt or maybe if you've lost some weight.
