Excellent Handbook for Dynamics AX.......2007-09-05

This is a must have book for any company or consultant wishing to use Dynamics AX to control their supply chain.

This will not teach you everything about Dynamics AX. It will supplement and expand the theory gain from existing training material. This will help you turn the theory into a practical ERP solution.

Just My Thoughts.......2007-07-08

My thoughts are:
1. The book provides a great introduction to how ERP systems work from a Supply Chain perspective. That said, much of the content is generalized and could apply to any respectable ERP.
2. The style is good - written for non-technical folk. So, this is fine from a general user standpoint but nowhere near the depth required for a serious, experienced developer.
3. The one thing I found seriously lacking was sufficient screenshots. One of the great strenghts of AX is the user-friendliness of the GUI and the ease of navigation. This is well described but pictures would be better.
4. The focus is clearly on supply chain aspects. This is fine - but - this precludes addressing other fundamental modules such as Financials. I feel to get a clear picture the reader really needs to understand the connection between an operational transactions and (say) the General Ledger. To be fair - the focus was stated up front by the author.
5. I must admit, that I did not get a good feel for the underlying business processes in play within AX. However, the descriptions of some of the key principles were good e.g. item dimensions.
6. Overall, the book does what it sets out to do but having played with AX 4.0 I really feel that the book does not do it justice. Having used or evaluated about 20 ERP systems, AX 4.0 provides outstanding value for such a sophisticated and elegantly architectured product.
Anyway - there you go.

Great book.......2007-04-17

This is a great book. It is very well written and meets the objectives of three different groups - prospective users, current users, and consultants - so they can derive great value.

I have done lot of training in Dynamics Ax and often times I find users finding it difficult to come to terms with some of the fundamental concepts. This book does a great job of thoroughly explaining some of the most difficult concepts with right level of content.

Another area that I found could be beneficial was the case studies. They allow a reader to picture the material just read in a real life situation which goes a step further than most books or product help.

Overall a great book and a handy reference.

by Artem Popov, Expert-Siberia magazine.......2006-02-13

The leading world-famed guru in automation of business-processes Scott Hamilton shows us the tendencies and problems of ERP-market. May be he is not so popular as his colleagues - marketing and management experts. But the concept of ERP penetrated in our life not long ago and the professor Scott Hamilton has been investigating ERP10 years more than this term exists. His fundamental knowledge and large experience are priceless. And he is sharing them with the readers openly.

Great insight in the world of Supply Chain.......2005-11-20

The book combines great experience in the business issues with the capability of Axapta to solve these issues.
It shows deep knowledge of how to understand business problems and how to explain how to solve these, based on a advanced business system.
A great contribution to understanding Supply Chain and Axapta.

Book Description

Auf dem "Europäischen Zisterzienserforum 1998" widmeten sich mehr als 20 Referenten aktuellen Fragen der Zisterzienserforschung. Dabei galt es zu klären, welche "Voraussetzungen und Motive" vorlagen, als sich die Zisterzienser von Frankreich aus über Europa ausbreiteten. Ausgehend von der Klosteranlage und ihrer Architektur zeigte das Forschungsfeld "Kloster und Umfeld" den Einfluß auf die Besiedlung und den Ausbau der Kulturlandschaften auf. Der Themenschwerpunkt "Reformversuche, Umbruch und Nachwirken" leitete in die Neuzeit über. Hier spannte sich der Bogen von Bildungseinrichtungen des Ordens, wie dem Kolleg in Frankfurt (Oder) über Frauenstifte und den Beschreibungen Fontanes bis hin zum Einfluß der Zisterzienser auf die Wirtschaftstheorie des 20. Jahrhunderts.

Book Description

In the spirit of Stephen Hawking's best-selling A Brief History of Time, The Encyclopedia of the Universe is a riveting sourcebook that provides intriguing insight into the discovery and explanation of the universe. From the theories of the Ancient Greeks and findings of Copernicus and Galileo to today's understanding of black holes, the development of time machines, even the search for extra-terrestrial life, the Encyclopedia brings key scientific concepts and historical events alive.

An innovative organizational scheme of a matrix of book routes makes the Encyclopedia easy to follow. Lively use of color, graphics, and navigational icons presents a logical flow of information that works equally well for science buffs and amateur astronomers, as well as for the serious student. The Encyclopedia also includes a complete guide to the solar system, with star maps, tools, techniques, and projects.

This remarkable reference has a wealth of features that put it in a class of its own. Authored and validated by a high-caliber team of more than a dozen writers and scholars from key astronomical institutions in both the United States and Great Britain, it is undoubtedly the most detailed single-volume, illustrative reference on the universe ever published.

I Agree: This is a Wonderful, Amazing Book.......2005-09-07

I teach astronomy as a volunteer at our high school and at public star parties given by our astronomical society. If this book were just one more "overview" of astronomy (as so many books are), I would warn you away. But it's not - this book is the best I've ever seen. Great fun, comprehensive, exciting illustrations, clear text.. It is 4 years old now in this edition, so it won't have the latest on Mars, or the Shuttle problems, extraterrestial planets, dark energy etc, but it is still great for its coverage of history and concepts, most of which have not changed in 4 years. I will buy the next edition the day it comes out.

Simply Amazing!!!.......2005-03-21

This book is rich with information on the universe in which we live. The text covers just about every major aspect of it...And surpringly offers a great deal of detail on the individual subjects. This detail is something most astronomical books are unfortunately without. A great deal of information plus, overall text structure being wonderful equals Simply Amazing!!

Awesome and Awe inspiring.......2005-01-05

This book is not intimidating but it is still very worthwhile, and if you are interested in this subject it would make a wonderful addition to your own library, and for this price it is hard to make a case against owning it.
The short biographies about the legends in astronomy are interesting and many of the pictures are exquisite. The other reviewers have done an excellent job of describing the contents and layout.

Excellent overview explanations of the universe.......2003-10-05

The 384 pages of this book are very well laid out. It is divided into chapters followed by a reference section. The chapters are 1) history of astronomy (pgs 28-51), 2) laws of physics (pgs 54-91), 3) in search of quantum reality (pgs 94-117), 4) the universe: past, present, & future (pgs 120-148), 5) contents of the cosmos (pgs 152-191), 6) our solar system (pgs 194-232), 7) watching the night sky (pgs 236-299), 8) space exploration (pgs 302-335) and a reference sections (336-383) which includes a glossary, an index and multiple tables with facts and figures.

Each of the chapters is divided into 20 or so articles. Each article is laid out on two facing pages with an introduction and clearly defined subheadings. The articles include supporting diagrams and explanations of personalities, milestones, theories, definitions, practical applications, and extra-science concepts (eg, philosophical, social, historical). The entire book is well illustrated. The writing is clear and aimed at the intelligent layman.

The layout of this encyclopedia allows the user to turn to any two-page article and find a self-contained explanation of a particular topic. The articles are logically sequenced, so that the entire encyclopedia could be read sequentially like a textbook. Within each article are page references to related topics.

It is obvious that many intelligent people put much thought and effort into this book. It is of a quality that you would expect to find in a public library, but the price makes affordable for keep in your home. I first discovered this book in our public library and looked it up in Amazon to buy a copy for myself. I had expected the price to be in the $50-$90 range and was pleasantly surprised to find it much lower.

Highly recommended to anyone interested in the nature and structure of the universe.

Fun and enjoyable book on physics.......2003-09-05

It's amazing that I'm the first person to review this great book. This isn't exclusively an astronomy book; it actually covers almost all of classical and modern physics. There are chapters on everything in our universe from the very small to the very large--from quantum mechanics to classical physics, to the solar system to galactic evolution, the Big Bang, and cosmology. If you've wondered about what quarks really do, or the union that produced the electroweak theory, or the theory of the strong nuclear force, what such particles as W and Z bosons, Higgs bosons, gluons, and so on, really do, the cosmological theories of 11-dimensional string physics and membrane or M-theory, this book is a great place to start. To mention just two of the fascinating things I learned, results from the CERN accelerator in Geneva support the idea that nuclear particles absorb Higgs bosons in order to acquire mass, and that the asymmetry in the distribution between positively charged and negatively charged matter in our universe is thought to provide a direction to time itself.

The chapters are beautifully illustrated and the text is very clear and readable, and the subjects are presented at a level that would be useful for secondary up through the first year of college. Many special features and sections accompany the text, such as sidebars illustrating important concepts or capsule biographies of famous physicists and scientists and their contributions, such as those of Murray Gell-Mann and Richard Feynman, and dozens of others. As if that weren't enough, there is a sizeable section on observational astronomy with star maps, a chapter on planetary astronomy, and even one on space exploration detailing every important manned and unmanned mission into space. Finally, there is a glossary of technical terms, tables of useful astonomical information and physical data, and more. This is a great book to just browse or to read for the wealth of information on just about every topic in modern physics and astronomy.

Book Description

The Oxford Illustrated Encyclopedia of the Universe is an authoritative and accessible reference book, giving a comprehensive overview of astronomy. Every important aspect and all major constituents of the universe are described in alphabetically arranged entries. The volume includes current
theories of the birth and evolution of the universe and of individual stars and their sometimes catastrophic destruction as supernovae; neutron stars; pulsars; and black holes; coverage of the planets and satellites of the solar system; and planetary exploration. The book explains in clear, lay
language the fundamental principles of physics-- for example, the theory of relativity--that underpin our understanding of astronomy. The editor has structured the book to provide, through cross-references, an explanation of the more technical entries. Readers are helped to understand complex
theories through simple, colorful line drawings, as well as more elaborate artwork. Biographical entries on key astronomers add the human dimension to the study of the universe; surveys, scattered over several entries, are given of the centuries of intellectual upheaval and progressive thinking that
have brought us to the present day. A concise chart of the evolution of astronomy is also included.

Book Description

Cebeci addresses transition from laminar to turbulent flows and considers solutions, mainly with the help of the linear stability theory and the ways in which it can be implemented accurately by numerical procedures. The main concern is transition of wall boundary layers, although one chapter is devoted to an approach based on the Navier-Stokes equations. The first three chapters summarize physical knowledge of the transition process, consider the stability equations and methods for predicting transition by linear stability theory, and describe efficient and accurate numerical methods for the solution of stability equations. Chapters 4 to 7 describe computer programs based on stability-theory approach to identify the location of transition in two- and three-dimensional incompressible and compressible flows, respectively, and Chapter 7 describes a computer program within the framework of parabolized stability equations. These programs are provided on an accompanying CD-ROM.
