Great book.......2005-06-23

At first I dind't like the layout of this book. But after I had a better feel for the program, I haven't looked back since. Great book!

Autocad.......2000-11-10

Great starter book....doesnt deal with 3D or Rendering enough though..worth every penny.

WHAT IS AutoCAD?.......2000-05-24

I found this book to be well-constructed and full of informative, helpful and practical examples for the novice and a great reference for the experienced.From the very minute I opened the book I was able to start drawing. I have created a set of basic architectural drawings that has allowed me to analyze different remodeling and furniture layout scenarios.This will be a treasured and well-used book in my personal library for a very long time.... Thanks "James A. Leach"

Book Description

The EURO has now been in place for more than two years, but only the future will tell if the ECB can manage the EURO currency in the long-term. This book discusses the economic principals underlying the demand for money, and the possibilities to recover its properties by means of multivariate time series analysis. It applies the outcome to the whole EURO area as well as to France. While for the aggregate, a money demand function can be specified and be shown to have good forecasting properties, this fails in the French case. This book puts forth economic arguments to explain this. The presentation specifically outlines all means that have been used to cope with shifts in coefficients of the cointegration relations. A separate chapter examines unit root tests for time series with level shifts. This includes detection of break points, provision of test statistics, graphical evaluation of the empirical models and illustration of the procedure with a large set of international macroeconomic data.

Book Description

WorldMinds provides broad exposure to a geography that is engaged with discovery, interpretation, and problem solving. Its 100 succinct chapters demonstrate the theories, methods, and data used by geographers, and exemplify the conceptual and topical richness of contemporary geography. The 150 contributing authors and co-authors address the challenges posed by issues such as globalization, regional and ethnic conflict, environmental hazards, terrorism, poverty, and sustainable development. This volume demonstrates the utility of geography as a conceptual discipline that contributes theoretically; as an applied practice that informs policy-making; and as a coherent set of methodologies to gather and analyze data about Earth and its occupants.
WorldMinds is the ideal general reader to supplement textbooks in the full range of academic geography courses. In addition to geography students and instructors, it is relevant to researchers, applied geographers and policy makers.

Book Description

Hardbound. Since the discovery of the transistor in 1948, the study of the solid state has been burgeoning. Recently, cold fusion and the ceramic superconductor have given cause for excitement. There are two approaches possible to this area of science, namely, that of solid state physics and solid state chemistry, although both overlap extensively. The former is more concerned with electronic states in solids (including electromagnetics) whereas the latter is more concerned with interactions of atoms in solids. The area of solid state physics is well documented, however, there are very few texts which deal with solid state chemistry. Luminescence and the Solid State has been written to fulfil this need.

Book Description

Luminescence of Solids gathers together much of the latest work on luminescent inorganic materials and new physical phenomena. The volume includes chapters covering -- the achievements that have led to the establishment of the fundamental laws of luminescence -- light sources, light-dispersing elements, detectors, and other experimental techniques -- models and mechanisms -- materials preparation, and -- future trends.
This international collection of cutting-edge luminescence research is complemented by over 170 illustrations that bring to life the text's many vital concepts.

In his smashing debut story collection I Dream of Microwaves, Imad Rahman navigates the world of marginal actors looking for work--and love--in quirky, unseemly venues. Following the travails of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, a young Pakistani actor whose career highlight has been playing perpetrators in crime reenactments on America's Most Wanted, Rahman offers over-the-top episodes of astounding wit and hilarity, in no particular chronological order, as Kareem: finds work as a costumed hawker of a trendy drink at a dive bar where he battles a dwarven rival for the crowd's business; reprises Brando's role of Kurtz in a musical production of Apocalypse Now at the Steak 'N Stage dinner theatre; and partakes in his recurring girlfriend, Eileen's, plan to pry money from her philanthropic grandmother. In the latter, title story, Kareem pretends to be a Bosnian war survivor, pitted against Eileen's ruse. The B-listers recognize each other and, rather than tattle, enter into a duel of "acting one-upsmanship," telling increasingly grandiose stories of atrocity and third-world living. After joining a Shakespeare troupe stranded in Pakistan and watching their driver revive his van with a mouthful of gas, then immediately light a cigarette without incident, Kareem: "expected his head to pop off with a bang, flames bellowing out his open neck." Self-deprecating and funny, Kareem is a memorable thespian worth following around. --Michael Ferch

Book Description

A bitingly funny debut story collection trails a Pakistani-American actor searching for a way to play himself in "real, actual life."

When B-movie-grade actor Kareem Abdul-Jabbar opens the mail one day, he find a one-way bus ticket to Cleveland and a note from his ex-girlfriend Eileen that reads, "Good news. I am through with big dicks and henceforth thinking constantly of you." So begin the linked misadventures of one of the most endearing ne'er-do-wells to grace recent American fiction.
Kareem drops his job portraying Hispanic criminals on America's Most Wanted and makes his way to Ohio, where he puts his dramatic skills to the test by impersonating a Bosnian refugee, in an attempt to help Eileen cash in on her grandmother's philanthropy. Such virtuosity can't last, however, and Kareem moves on, looking for a way to be himself when the camera isn't rolling. In one story, he pushes drinks as the Zima Zorro at the Ancient Mariner Sports Bar and Grill; in another he roughs up Unrepentant Privilege Abuse Perpetrators as a rental video repossessor. He returns to the theater, as stage manager to an incestuous Shakespearean troupe adrift in Pakistan, and as a Kilgore hell-bent on getting bumped up to Kurtz in a musical dinner theater production of Apocalypse Now. As he follows Kareem's quest for the big breaks in work and love, Imad Rahman explores the struggle for success and self-invention in contemporary life with originality, irreverence, and an absurdist wit that strikes unerringly close to the bone.

An entertaining combination of sarcasm and irony.......2004-07-23

"I dream of Microwaves" is like sitting in your favorite couch and flipping through channels on the TV when there is nothing good on... And then by chance landing on a show on some obscure channel that totally captivates you and forces you to watch it till the credits are done rolling.
A simple yet hillarious account of the adventures (or misadventures) of an underrated Pakistani Actor trying to survive from day to day in the land of freedom filled to the brim with stereotypes.
The book offers you something you will rarely find in storytelling these days: the simple absence of fantastic events. Something for everyone; this book applies to all our lives at some point in time. The character of Kareem Abdul Jabbar (no relation to the NBA star) is just trying to make ends meet and do what he knows best: act. His overanalysis of every situation and his 'Forest Gump' ways make for hours of good story telling.
A must-read for those who find joy in simple things and find Irony humorous.

I loved this book.......2004-06-26

I absolutely loved this book. This collection takes off like a firecracker and keeps spinning, with flinty sparks of cynicism and satire, until the last page. It's imaginative, smart, and stakes out its own territory rather rehashing the familiar workshoppy world of the short story. And that, I think, is what I like most about this collection: the author takes a familiar from, the short story, and then cuts a new groove so that the stories don't really seem like very many stories I've seen before. I told two friends (from my days in grad school) to buy the book and if they didn't like it, I'd buy the book off them. So far no one's come to me for a refund! I Dream of Microwaves is good stuff.

Wierd.......2004-06-08

Wierd but good. It's like "My Fractured Life" meets Wierd Al Yankovik or Mel Brooks.

Immitation is the Sincerest Form of Flatery.......2004-05-26

The thing that bothered me about I DREAM OF MICROWAVES is the same thing that I liked about it. You just can't get past the point-by-point way it follows the same story as MY FRACTURED LIFE. On the one hand this is what I enjoyed about it because it does cover the same territory so it was familiar to something I already enjoy. However it was also bothersome in some ways because I wanted something more than the main character being turned into a middle easterner and renamed after a basketball player. It is a nicely written book. I did enjoy it. However I did not enjoy it as much as MY FRACTURED LIFE because it didn't seem to add as much to the story as I would have liked.

Enjoyable.......2004-05-24

In the same tradition as "My Fractured Life", "I Dream of Microwaves" is a fun stomping of Hollywood's B-list subculture. If you enjoyed "My Fractured Life" and "Running With Scissors" you should enjoy this.
