        Book Description

        Since the publication of Measuring Return on Investment, Volume 1 the interest in measuring the return on investment (ROI) in training and performance improvement continues to grow. Volume 1 filled an important void in the training literature. Published in 1994, it remains one of ASTD's all-time bestsellers. Volume 2, published in 1997, demonstrated further progress with measuring the return on investment in a variety of programs.

        Measuring Return on Investment, Volume 3 presents a variety of approaches to evaluating training and performance improvement programs in HRD. Most of the cases focus on evaluation at the ultimate level-ROI. Collectively, the cases offer a wide range of settings, methods, techniques, strategies, and approaches. Although most of the programs focus on training and development, others include organization development and performance management. As a group, these cases represent a rich source of information about the strategies of some of the best practitioners, consultants, and researchers in the field.

        Great book. Very informative. I highly recommend anyone who likes to garden, or even those who just want to landscape their yards.

        Really A good Guide... I work hard in my garden.. so I want the best results
        this book helps me to do this!

        2 out of 5 stars Notthing special.......2007-06-09

        I was disappointed that this book offered no scientific evidence for companion planting, and offered little more information than you could easily find for free on the internet. I read this book, took a few notes and then sold it immediately. Not one for the shelf.

        3 out of 5 stars useful reference book.......2007-05-23

        I was hoping for a book that would be an interesting read. This one is more like reference book. It is comprehensive, but kind of like reading a dictionary. I would recommend it because it has useful knowledge, but if you want a gardening book that you can read and relax with, this one probably won't do it.

        4 out of 5 stars ... and veggie gardeners just love companion planting!.......2007-05-23

        True, there are many edible plants and herbs that Louise Riotte does not mention in her wonderful 'Carrots love tomatoes', and true again, her hot and humid part of the world is not the same as the cool, flat countryside
        of Holland's extreme North (where I live). So, she doesn't write about witlof (white chicory roots) or our wonderful brands of kale, but what she DOES write about it absolutely amazing. In my view companion planting is one of the basic principles - and such a sympathetic one! - to create a healthy garden. And what better haven, to enjoy everyday, by yourself and with others? Good on you, Louise!

                    5 out of 5 stars Binocular fun.......2007-09-24

                    I have been using Binocular Highlights for about three months. It is exactly what I have been looking for!

                    Where I live, Western Washington State, star gazing is often thwarted by clouds and rain. So using a telescope is often more trouble that it is worth. But, a quick venture into the mist with binoculars; now this made sense to me. However, I needed advice on which binoculars would be good to use and a manageable list of things to look for with binoculars. This is when, like a stroke of good luck, this neat, well written and very handy booklet, Binocular Highlights, was placed into my hands. I used the author, Gary Seronik's recommendation and bought a pair of Canon Image Stabilized binoculars. And have had a great time going through the pages of his book and successfully finding most of the objects listed. I am thoroughly pleased.

                    I can recommend this book to anyone with a general interest in astronomy or for someone who is just looking for something easier to use than a full blown telescope.

                    5 out of 5 stars This book opened up a whole new world of astronomy to me.......2007-07-04

                    It was late one night a couple of weeks ago. I had been observing Jupiter and four of her moons with my Orion 90 mm refractor for several minutes when I felt the stiffness arch up my back into my neck. I'm in good shape for a guy in his early 40s, but still I'm more prone to aches and pains than when I was a younger man. Then I brushed against the scope tube and spent several minutes finding the planet once more. The cost was sore muscles along my spine and that inevitable thought: "there has to be a better way to do astronomy than this!"

                    Anyone who has ever used a telescope for any length of time at all can relate to the story above. That is why I am so happy to have discovered this book.

                    Don't know anything about binoculars? No problem. Seronik tells you how they work and what kind are best for astronomy. In fact, I must caution you now to NOT BUY A PAIR OF BINOCULARS FOR ASTRONOMY UNTIL YOU READ THIS BOOK. The insights it gives kept me from making a very expensive mistake!
                    I had a pair of Meade 12x50s stashed away in a closet which turned out to be more than up to the job.

                    After covering how binoculars work and what kind to use for stargazing, Seronik takes the reader on a tour of many splendid deep sky objects perfect for the binocular user. Believe it or not, there is plenty of stuff up there that looks incredible when seen through their wide field of view and low magnification.

                    This book is user friendly from cover to cover. It's not padded with needless fluff or technical details incomprehensible to the average person. However, it is written in an engaging, friendly style that makes it a delight to read.

                    All in all I am very satisfied with this book and recommend it enthusiastically to everyone interested in stargazing.

                    4 out of 5 stars Binocular highlights.......2007-05-13

                    I am very satisfied with the book. It has the information I was looking for.

                    5 out of 5 stars Great Book.......2007-05-13

                    This is an excellent book for both beginner and veteran observer alike. Charts are well marked and use actual star photos and not drawings as some books. The advice given on the best choice of binoculars to use is especially helpful to those just starting out. The selection of targets is varied and will in some cases prove a real challenge especially to the new observer but persistance will pay off in many enjoyable hours under the stars. Highly recommended !

                    For those unfamiliar with astronomical use of binoculars, this is the guide for you.

                                    Supernovae, their bearing on cosmology and their connection to gamma-ray bursts are now at the center of astrophysical research programs. This volume deals with astronomical observations of supernovae and their relation to nuclear and particle astrophysics. All known aspects of supernovae explosions are investigated in articles specifically written for researchers and advanced graduate students. It also includes recent numerical "experiments" related to the question of hydrodynamical instability in two and three dimensions and to problems concerning the complexity of radiation transport in the models. Other contributions discuss the possible energy sources needed to drive these powerful stellar explosions.

                                        Book Description

                                        What can computers do in principle? What are their inherent theoretical limitations? These are questions to which computer scientists must address themselves. The theoretical framework which enables such questions to be answered has been developed over the last fifty years from the idea of a computable function: intuitively a function whose values can be calculated in an effective or automatic way. This book is an introduction to computability theory (or recursion theory as it is traditionally known to mathematicians). Dr Cutland begins with a mathematical characterisation of computable functions using a simple idealised computer (a register machine); after some comparison with other characterisations, he develops the mathematical theory, including a full discussion of non-computability and undecidability, and the theory of recursive and recursively enumerable sets. The later chapters provide an introduction to more advanced topics such as Gildel’s incompleteness theorem, degrees of unsolvability, the Recursion theorems and the theory of complexity of computation. Computability is thus a branch of mathematics which is of relevance also to computer scientists and philosophers. Mathematics students with no prior knowledge of the subject and computer science students who wish to supplement their practical expertise with some theoretical background will find this book of use and interest.

                                        Elements of the Theory of Computation (2nd Edition) I just got through reading other book and I realized the only reason I understood it at all was that I had read this book.When I first read this book I thought some of the parts elementary, but comparing it to the above text I realized it was doing the job of teaching by giving good illustrations of the processes involved.

                                        3 out of 5 stars We used syrup on salad and danced away the night.......2007-06-11

                                        Beware the intended audience--undergraduates and infants. Just kidding about the infants, but the exercises are very easy for anyone with decent mathematical/logical sophistication. The results are easy to follow and some motivation is given, but a lot of the proofs are not particularly rigorous, and not because they invoke Church's thesis. A number of proofs of important theorems are excluded, but references are given to texts which include them. A number of important results are excluded, e.g. those of Mostowski and Kleene (the "arithmetical hierarchy").

                                        Cutland does cover the s-m-n theorem, universal functions, the Kleene normal form theorem, degrees of unsolvability, reducibility of decision problems, and equivalent formulations of computability. Of course the usual stuff is in there too--e.g., effective operations on functions, recursion, minimalization, etc. There is a rather nonstandard introduction to computational complexity that is greatly lacking, but at least something is there.

                                        Unlimited Register Machine (URM) computability is the central notion of computability employed in the text. Other than that, there really isn't any notation or concepts that would prevent one from reading chapters independently from the rest of the text. You just need to know how URMs work. (Obviously there is some nonstandard notation but it's listed at the end in a notation section.)

                                        I would not recommend the text to logicians due to the relative informality of the proofs. I would only recommend it to mathematicians at an undergraduate or non-advanced graduate level.

                                        4 out of 5 stars Excellent book for the right audience; often incomplete or informal.......2007-01-02

                                        This is a well-written book, and gives a satisfying account of the field of recursion theory. It covers basic aspects of recursion theory, Godel numbering, the structure of recursive and recursively enumerable sets, and even a brief (and quite sketchy) foray into complexity results at the end. It is, however, worth deciding whether you are in the target audience before making a purchase.

                                        If you are trying to make a first transition over into theory topics from, say, a career of practical software development tasks, then this is the wrong book. Try Sipser's Introduction to the Theory of Computation instead. Sipser is more willing to spend time on demonstrating the intuitive picture, and relies less on formal mathematical arguments. This book can come later to fill in some of the mathematical properties.

                                        On the opposite end of the spectrum, this is a passable but mediocre reference book for recursion theory. It omits major topics, such as the arithmetic hierarchy. It deviates considerably from other traditional treatments. These decisions will get annoying if you plan to read bits and pieces rather than learn in sequence according to the author's presentation. A better reference is Hartley Rogers' Theory of Recursive Functions and Effective Computability (which is, incidentally, cited about every other page from this one).

                                        Buy this book if you are in the middle. It's a great book if you've seen some decidability results, but not a formal mathematical treatment; and if you intend to follow the book and learn what it decides rather than look up specific topics. In that situation, it's hard to see how you could do better.

                                        5 out of 5 stars The best introduction to computability theory.......2006-08-21

                                        Cutland's book "Computability: An Introduction to Recursive Function Theory" is without doubt the best introduction to recursion theory available on the market. Elementary Recursion Theory is a logician's expression for theoretical computer science, with an emphasis on negative results, i.e. what computers cannot do. Cutland could have exploited Church's Thesis in the manner of H. Rogers, and this could have perhaps make the book readable for a larger public from the human science. Instead Cutland defines the computable functions in a rather standard way through the use of the Register Machine. Then all the basic chapter of recursion theory are introduced, including a gentle explanation of Kleene second recursion theorem, on recursive operators, on formal arithmetic and Godel's incompleteness theorem, Post creative and productive sets. It contains a chapter on Blum complexity theory, with the gap theorem and Blum's speed-up theorem. The book is a must for those who want to penetrate this fundamental subject.

                                        3 out of 5 stars Clearest mathematical introduction.......2005-07-12

                                        This introduction for undergrads assumes no specifics other than general experience in college math. The writing is clear and exercises are interspersed and follow naturally from the explanations. Proofs are explanatory and easy to follow, though often rather informal.

                                        However, it looses some of its best qualities about halfway through the book. The early chapters give excellent context and motivation, but by chapter 4 that is mostly gone. It seems that the push to cover more topics is what led to making the introduction of new topics more and more brief. The later chapters give little feeling for how it all fits together and why we should care.

                                                  Book Description

                                                  Winnie LoPinto wrote Go Home Little Fifinella in 1944 when she returned from Sweetwater Texas. The story starts as she boards the train to Sweetwater, Texas, full of youthful enthusiasm. She vividly describes the activities at Avenger Field, the antics with the baymates of W7, the flights, the instructors, and visits by Jacqueline Cochran and General Hap Arnold. This book provides a rare glimpse into the the every-day experiences of WASP Avengerettes. YouÂ'll laugh, cry, and feel a part of that program through WinnieÂ's colorful descriptions.

                                                  WASP pilots flew dangerous planes by “the seat of their pants,” with little instrumentation. Winnie was a slight woman, barely 100 pounds. Her legs didnÂ't reach the brakes and she often loosened her seatbelt to try to slide down, inside an open cabin and sometimes hanging upside down! It took a great deal of guts and skill to fly these old planes in freezing whether, but these gals did it!

                                                  The WASP women were worthy and fearless pilots. Unfortunately, for political reasons revealed in this book, negative media attention of the WASP program influenced policies that affected womenÂ's rights to fly or hold other traditionally male jobs in subsequent years.
