Good "Building Blocks" Type of Book.......2007-01-18
I'm almost done with "How to Do Everything with HTML..." and its very good for beginners like me. Its all about building blocks for your Web page. Realistically, there can be no book that will explain any single thing about web design (at least without being 1000+ pages long), but this book does its job - after you read it, you will have a solid foundation for any of your Web projects. It won't make you a web guru (again, I doubt that any single book can do that), but its very good for what it is.
Few minor points - JavaScripts described in the book didn't work for me and i'm not sure what's the reason behind this. I checked and re-checked code again, but still, it didn't show up in any browsers. Another issue is that since its about building blocks, things like layout, color and graphics are mostly skipped over in favor of pure HTML coding. So what you would next, I assume, after reading this one, is a type of book that would show you how to actually put those blocks together in order to make an actual page.
All in all, very useful for beginners.
How to Do Everything with HTML & XHTML.......2006-03-15
Very nicely written. Had no problem following the material. Very easy to understand.
Excellent book!!!.......2005-01-09
For a first book on this topic I found the depth of coverage and pace to be perfect. Very easy painless coverage of topic.
Not too slow, and not too fast where you feel like you're lost.
Nothing is taken for granted(Author assumes you know nothing), yet you are not treated like a "dummy" or "complete idiot".
for beginners?.......2004-10-11
i think this book is not detailed enough, as compared with its titile"how to do everything with html&xhtml".After i finished reading this book, i started to build my web site. But, the problem is i don't know what attributes and values i can use within style sheets. and the effort to understand all that stuff is really frustrating.And i am confused about whether the attribute is from html or xhtml, can i use them? the book don't provide a list of all the stuff with its usage and possible values, attributes as a reference, and the pdf file i downloaded from the author's web site is useless because most of them is listed in the book and they are just not detailed enough, it is just a book for beginners and it should be marked as level 1.
There's always more to learn.......2004-05-26
I thought I knew everything there was to know about HTML but was very shaky with style sheets and XML. This book takes you step by step through the learning process making XML and style sheets easy to understand by explaining why and how they are used. Recommend the book to anyone who is creating web sites! Every other HTML book pales in comparison.

Book Description
Aimed at advanced undergraduate and graduate students in economics, banking, and finance, this is a core textbook for the financial markets, institutions, and regulation option of courses in financial economics. It integrates modern theories of asymmetric information into the analysis of financial institutions, relating the theory to current developments. The text begins with an analysis of adverse selection in retail financial products like life assurance before looking at open capital markets where trades and prices provide information. It then progresses to the more complex areas of corporate governance and financial intermediation in which information is confidential and moral hazard and verification problems become important. These chapters study the various mechanisms that the financial markets have developed to allow investors to delegate the management of their assets to others. This analysis is used to show how regulation can reduce the risk of financial failure and how legal, accounting, and regulatory mechanisms can help shape a country's corporate and financial architecture. These difficult theoretical concepts are conveyed through the careful use of numerical illustrations and topical case studies. Each chapter ends with a set of exercises to test and reinforce students' comprehension of the material. Worked solutions are provided for the numerical exercises.

Book Description
The major themes of financial regulation in the U.S., the EEC, and Japan are discussed in four interwoven, but independent, essays. The central focus is the protection of the financial system by insuring prudential rules against systemic risks, particularly through promoting capital adequacy by international and national agreement and with due consideration to the distinction between the banking and securities business. The work concludes with the assertion that international harmonization of regulation is necessary for the long-run efficiency of financial markets.

Public Health Nutrition (Nutrition Society Textbook)
ASIN: 0849385067 |
Book Description
Proper nutrition is the single most important component of preventative health care. Heart disease, diabetes, and other ailments are all linked to dietary habits. Accurate nutritional assessment can be a matter of life or death. Laboratory Tests for the Assessment of Nutritional Status explores the expanded number of nutrients that can now be evaluated. The author makes a compelling case for the practice and advancement of this critical health care tool. Nutritional assessment identifies undernutrition, overnutrition, specific nutrition deficiencies, and imbalances. Diligent assessment determines the appropriate nutrition intervention and monitors its effects. This book is a total revision of the 1974 version of the same title co -authored by Sauberlich. Since then, remarkable progress has been made on the methodologies applicable to nutrition status assessment and to the expanded number of nutrients that can be evaluated, especially trace elements. The introduction of high-performance liquid chromatography, amperometric detectors, and other technologies has advanced nutritional assessment by leaps and bounds. Today, nutritionists can gauge the value of microminerals, trace elements, and ultratrace elements. Sauberlich's revision updates the reader to the latest and most important trends in nutrition. These laboratory methods for the assessment of nutritional status are vital for identifying individuals as well as populations with nutritional risks.

Quantum Mechanics.......2000-06-10
Intended for introductory undergraduate level in quantum mechanics. Ferry did a thorough job in covering the basics including tunneling and perturbation theory. This book is fairly easy to understand, which make this a good reference good.
Book Description
As a guidance counselor at an elite, Bel Air high school, Lara Stone is definitely not ready to have any spoiled, bratty kids of her own. At least not now, when she has finally managed to Tae-Bo and low-carb herself down to a perfect size four. But her husband has different ideas, and they include fatherhood. Now.
Suddenly, Lara finds herself deep within the underbelly of pregnancy, as a cranky, non-glowing mother-to-be dealing with uncontrollable crying jags, inexplicable weight gain, and scary hemorrhoids. And her mood doesn't improve when she's given the task of getting one of her students-the punk, outcast daughter of a famous movie director-into a highly competitive college.
Expecting is nothing like Lara ever expected.
Customer Reviews:
TV show is better.......2007-08-19
Watch the new tv show that is based on this book instead. It's way better! Lauren is her name on the show and she is much more believable and way more likeable than in the book.
Not all pregnanciesa re perfect- I relate.......2007-08-15
I have read many of the reviews for this book and I could not disagree more. Lara was not ready to get pregnant and didn't like being pregnant- that is the reality for many women. I really know how she felt about not being quite ready to have a baby but being pressured by her husband. I had the most difficult pregancy on record so I was not glowing and chipper the way everyone says you should be. I did not obsess about my weight the way Lara did but I have known many women that have (I live in NYC afterall). I loved this book for being so honest that not everyone loves being pregnant and that it is normal to be completely afraid bringing the baby home. Pre-pardum depression is a very real thing for many moms and Lara was just showing that side of pregnancy.
Great Read.......2007-07-06
This book was awesome. I didn't agree with Laura's ideas on everything to do with pregnancy but it was still really entertaining and I looked forward to reading it every night. I had a lot of great laughs while reading it.
Cute story!.......2007-06-19
If you are pregnant and looking for something that is a light read about pregnancy, this is for you. Lots of LOLs.
LOVED IT!.......2007-06-18
I thought this book was one of the funniest I've read in a long time. The protaganist while spoiled at times was totally believable and funny. I stumbled accross this book at Borders and I cant wait to read the continuation of the story.

Engaging study of the hidden side of boxing & boxers........1999-11-06
Full of intriguing tales and characters, "Unlicensed" is a great read for anyone interested in boxing... and for those who aren't, really. More than a study of boxing, it is a study of the men who look to it for direction. Primarily focused on England's underground boxing scene (but with peeks into Vegas, Tyson, and the indomitable Don King), this book takes the reader from pub to pub to warehouses and boxing clubs where Hotten meets with these boxers: some brutal, animalistic... and surprisingly likeable. A candid, colorful, and often funny (in it's own way) glimpse of this somehow intimate world and its events. A really good read.
