Wrong Book.......2007-01-05

I thought that I was getting the actual book instead of the EViews so I obviously didn't like this one.

Eviews.......2003-06-19

I have been using this workbook for undergraduate econometrics. E-views student version is a cut-down version of the 3.1 E-views program.

The workbook is the companion to Undergraduate Econometrics Hill, Griffiths and Judge and the examples used in the workbook are those contained in the textbook.

Unfortunately the workbook does not explain how to adapt the examples of other work. As the E-views program has complicated syntax which needs deciphering, the workbook was not much use for practising econometrics outside the examples in the text book.

The workbook does not contain an index.

Book Description

Auchenorrhyncha, the planthoppers and leafhoppers, occur in high density and species richness in almost all terrestrial ecosystems, forming an important component of food webs. They may transmit plant pathogens such as viruses and mycoplasmas, and a few species are among the world's worst pests of cereals and other crops. Due to the lack of a comprehensive key, the central European fauna has long been neglected by entomologists, and as a consequence, the knowledge of their life history was rather small. Host relations, in particular, were insufficiently known. This work summarizes an extensive data collection combined with a widely scattered literature on a large geographical scale.

Book Description

The most comprehensive single source available on leafhoppers and planthoppers, written to be accessible also to investigators new to these insects. Covers their taxonomy, morphology, behavior, population dynamics, interactions with microbes including transmission of plant pathogens, and key aspects of their biological control such as host-plant resistance and parasites. The leafhopper and planthopper faunas associated with three important crops are presented in concert with the evolution of host plant and insect.

Book Description

“A marvelous celestial playhouse . . . offering visitors a virtual journey through time, space and the mysteries of the cosmos.” —New York Times

The Rose Center for Earth and Space of the American Museum of Natural History—the dazzling $210-million museum within a museum that opened in New York City in early 2000—has won exuberant praise from critics and the public. Its awe-inspiring form, a huge sphere inside a glass cube, reminds people of how enthralling great architecture can be. And the sophisticated and imaginative exhibits with which it tells the story of the universe have already earned the Rose Center acclaim as the world's foremost museum of astronomy, astrophysics, and Earth science.

This official introduction and guide to the Rose Center takes the reader on a tour of its two spectacular main exhibition spaces—the Hall of the Universe and the Hall of Planet Earth—and explores its architectural and technological wonders. Here is ample evidence of why U.S. News & World Report has proclaimed the Rose Center “spectacular . . . a stunning new destination for star-gazing earthlings.”

A Look Inside a Planetarium for the 21st Century.......2001-08-30

In the late 1990s, New York's beloved (but aged and failing) Hayden Planetarium was torn down to make way for what designers promised would be a state-of-the-art showcase of Earth & space science. At first, skeptical New Yorkers weren't sure if the controversial design would fit in with the surrounding residential neighborhood... but when the construction was complete, they gazed in awe at the marvelous steel and glass cube of the new Rose Center for Earth and Space, which featured a multi-story Planetarium that seemed to hover in midair within the structure.
Pick up this book if you'd like to see how New York's spectacular new planetarium came into being. Inside, you'll find beautiful full-color photos of the Rose Center as it appeared during construction and as it stands today, and you'll learn about the new technologies used to create its many hi-tech exhibits.
As an added bonus, the book provides an overview of some of the recent discoveries and hot topics in modern earth and space science... as you'll see, when it comes to learning about our planet and our universe, we've come a long way!
I highly recommend this book to space science fans, as well as architecture buffs. It's a great look inside an exciting new facility that's sure to delight visitors for decades to come!

Book Description

Many previous studies and books have been dedicated to fundamental and developmental aspects of biomarkers. The purpose of this book is to provide, through various case studies, an overview of the practical use of biological markers in marine animals to evaluate the health effects of environmental contamination in marine ecosystems.

More precisely, the book presents the results obtained during the development and application of biological markers as indicators of exposure/effect to toxic chemicals in marine environments, using diverse sentinel species such as fish, bivalves and crustaceans. An important aspect is also the publication of technical annexes that describe in detail the experimental procedures developed for both chemical and biochemical measurement.

Description:
Organic pollutants exhibiting endocrine disrupting activity (Endocrine Disruptors-EDs) are prevalent over a wide range in the aquatic ecosystems; most EDs are resistant to environmental degradation and are considered ubiquitous contaminants. The actual potency of EDs is low compared to that of natural hormones, but environmental concentrations may still be sufficiently high to produce detrimental biological effects. Most information on the biological effects and mechanisms of action of EDs has been focused on vertebrates. Here we summarize recent progress in studies on selected aspects of endocrine disruption in marine organisms that are still poorly understood and that certainly deserve further research in the near future. This review, divided in four sections, focuses mainly on invertebrates (effects of EDs and mechanisms of action) and presents data on top predators (large pelagic fish and cetaceans), a group of vertebrates that are particularly at risk due to their position in the food chain. The first section deals with basic pathways of steroid biosynthesis and metabolism as a target for endocrine disruption in invertebrates. In the second section, data on the effects and alternative mechanisms of action of estrogenic compounds in mussel immunocytes are presented, addressing to the importance of investigating full range responses to estrogenic chemicals in ecologically relevant invertebrate species. In the third section we review the potential use of vitellogenin (Vtg)-like proteins as a biomarker of endocrine disruption in marine bivalve molluscs, used worldwide as sentinels in marine biomonitoring programmes. Finally, we summarize the results of a recent survey on ED accumulation and effects on marine fish and mammals, utilizing both classical biomarkers of endocrine disruption in vertebrates and non-lethal techniques, such as non-destructive biomarkers, indicating the toxicological risk for top predator species in the Mediterranean. Overall, the reviewed data underline the potential to identify specific types of responses to specific groups of chemicals such as EDs in order to develop suitable biomarkers that could be useful as diagnostic tools for endocrine disruption in marine invertebrates and vertebrates.

Book Description

Sailing the Georgia Coast.......2006-10-29

I sail the Georgia Coast and this book is invaluable to me. My wife and I plan on seeing all the places one by one. It is so neat to have someone that has been there, done that before we go. This book is a must have if you sail the Georgia coast. Amazon is the place to get it.

Coastal Georgia at its best.......2006-07-10

This is a great book! It contains an overview of the Georgia coast, along with a well researched ecological discussion. Then the writer analyzes each inlet and tributary right down to where to drop your anchor. A must for Georgia coast cruisers.

Packed with useful information.......2004-06-24

We were loaned a copy of this book before we took off on a two week vacation exploring the barrier islands by sailboat.
The expanded chart information alone was invaluable. By the middle of the trip, we had put away all our large foldout charts and used this book exclusivley to explore new waterways, find places to anchor for the night, and look ahead to decipher where to go next.
But this book is much more than an expanded chart guide. The historical background information, discriptions of what to do ashore, and the natural history information was interesting and useful. At the end of the trip the book was so worn we kept it and returned a brand new copy to the owner.

Informative and useful.......2002-07-13

As an avid inshore fisherman, I regularly visit the Georgia coast. With so many inland waterways, the task of when and WHERE! can be quite a challenge. Fortunately, the Zydlers have accelerated the learning curve for me. Not only has the book been informative, it has also been a pleasurable read. It's not just a guide of the waterways (although it does that in great detail). The book brings a keen sense of history, a respect for nature and an armada of helpful resources that one could spend countless weeks investigating prior to a visit to this wonderland.

Georgia's coast is best discovered by boat, but having a capable "road map" will certainly enhance the journey. Whether you're a yachtsman, fisherperson, naturalist, or history buff, this book offers much for its reader.

I would encourage anyone that wishes to visit coastal Georgia to buy this book. I'm confident it will enhance your experience as it has done for me.

Thanks to the Zydlers!

This is a fun book.......2007-01-05

How to Get the Women You Desire into Bed is a GREAT introduction to NLP, and the power of selective phrasing of your words to seduce women. It is no secret that too many of us have elective hearing to begin with and how much more so on a date. When you are going in for the kill, you should always be aware of your environment, the present circumstances, and the mood of the girl you are seducing - and how that affects your strategy (and progress). This book quickly takes you into the realms of persuasion that most men do not believe even exits.

What I like most about this book is its timeless relevance. You will not learn methods that have anything to do with the current (or past) eras. What you learn here is how your skills at communication affect every person you interact with - and how to use those skills of communication to easily persuade people into agreeing with your point of view. Ross focuses here on technique and results, leaving you to practice and master what he lays out.

Add this to your collection, and refer to it often. Most of all, use the techniques you learn in this book IN CONJUNCTION WITH what you learn in other books, from real life experience, from other gurus. NLP will enhance your other skills, augmenting your success rate. This book is a fast read, but you will want to study its intricacies repeatedly to get these secrets to work tirelessly for you, so be sure to keep it handy at all times.

INTO BED??? YOU'D BE LUCKY JUST TO GET HER INTO A CHAIR (if you could get her to stop laughing at you long enough)..........2006-11-05

... although Ross Jeffries' wild NLP theories and crazy schemes seemed like ground-breaking psychobabble nearly 20 years ago when gullible chumps were eating it up, nowadays a sensible man would only read it as a curiosity that's about as relevant today as the 8-track player, the waterbed and retro roller skates.

The cover photo alone says it all - while the gal's lying in bed waiting for him to make a move, he looks like he's consulting a step-by-step sex manual because he's totally clueless about what to do next.

To be read for entertainment purposes only.

Required reading for the aspiringpick up artist.......2006-11-05

This book was the starting point for me 5 years ago when I started my journey into the pick up arts. It is an absolute must read for those wanting to get better at understanding women and the ways a woman's mind works. Though there are countless other ideas and methodologies available today, they all stem from this book. Ross Jeffries is the father of the pick up community as we know it today and not reading this book is losing out on some valuable information. Don't take it as the last word, but it is golden.

You have to take the information and make it a part of you.......2006-10-07

Let me ask you all a question. How many of you have learned anything at all from a book, experience, or another person? Probably most of you, unless you have some sort of problem preventing you from learning anything at all. The materials in Ross's programs, and in just about all other areas of studies where you have to apply the knowledge you just learned were meant to be used in your own unique way. I know Ross Jeffries markets his products with the promise of getting you laid immeadiately and all that hype (he even admitts it!). However, he also has said, publicly, that the techniques and language "patterns" shown in his programs are to be used as examples only. It is like being in an english class and you see an example of a certain type of sentence with the use of certain punctuation marks used to emphasize... whatever. You don't take and use that SAME EXACT sentence and expect to become a Literary celebrety overnight! You take the "principle" and apply it, practice it, fail at it, apply it more and more until you master the "principle in such a way that makes the "technique your own. Just as 20 diffferent boxers throws his or her jabs each in slightly different ways, the principle of the jab is relatively the same. The patterns are meant to teach you how to communicate to women how you feel and make them feel more comfortable and turned on.

Their is one catch. Thier are jerks out there who care nothing for the hearts of people and will destroy lives and break hearts without a regret. Their are also people who beat others up. Their are also people who abuse things they have learned for selfish gain hurting others without remorse. People abuse their learned skills in law, martial arts, guns, technology, computer programming, etc. People also take advantage of their good looks to get what they want from others as well as money etc.. Does this mean that money should be banned? or that good looking people should be scarered to make them all look average?

It is an unwise assumption to believe that "everyone" who reads Ross's stuff will go out and start using this stuff to bed everyone on 2 legs. Although, some will. It is equally unwise to assume that every person who learned a martial art will go pick fights with everyone, or that all computer programmers will hack into people's computer systems and steal their identity. This is paranoid thinking to say the least. I myself am naturally a very visual communicator. I have a deep immagination and fit right in with this type of communicating. I always have.. It is the way an artist or poet communicates, among others. Go read some poetry or talk to some artists (real ones) and see how they express themselves. I have found this info useful to notice my own ways of communicating. Now, I have no interest in getting every woman I meet into betd. I would much rather have love with one woman than 100 "masturbation like" sexual encounters with 100 different supermodels. HAH!

Most of Ross's work is about communication and your inner self image. He promises alot, again for marketing purposes, but this stuff will work if you make it your own. However, if a woman is not attracted to you in some physical, mental, spiritual, or any other way, she will not go home with you, no matter what "patterns" or "techniques" you use on her. The problem with most of use who have problems with dating, is that we are scared to turn women on. We are scared or feel guilty for making a woman feel connected to us.

Also, if you sound like a tape recorder replaying something you memorized, then you are just an idiot and have not grasped the Principle of the material. You have to practice the techniques and learn the interlying principles just as a boxer has to stand in front of a mirror, bag, and other opponent and practice that "jab" to make it his or her own. PRACTICE!

You can use this stuff to better communicate to a woman how you feel and to influence a state of mind in her.

I wish women would read some of this stuff and learn to influence states of mind in men so that we could also gain an accurate perspective on what she wants to communicate.

It is proven, in fact, that no one can be hypnotized against their will. Go look it up if you want to.

I myself have found this book useful becasue it points at a way of communicating more expressively as well as a better way of looking at myself. I would get this and then go broaden your knowledge with other books on psychology, communication, poetry, and dating.

Just the tip of the ice burg.......2006-09-26

I bought this Ross Jeffries book because it was alot cheaper than his home study course. Well, there is a reason for that. This book in its time might of contained one or two good points, but now with sites like The Seduction Bible and books like Neil Struass's The Game this just doesn't offer anything fresh. Unless you are completely new to the game and this is the only book you can find, and you can't get online than skip this!

lots of fresh new, creative logos, well catagorized. I belive there is a First one called Los Logos. And if I'm not mistaken there is also a thrid, i'm guessing it's called Tres Logos.

Designer focused.......2007-03-15

If you're a designer that needs inspiration in this synthetic world (just like me) look no further.
Just go ahead and buy the 3 books of the series (just like me). Don't be afraid the logos don't are seppareted in themes so one book complements the other.

It impress me because I acctually hate logo books, they are so corporate usually. But these stand up for the creative explorations over style, application and paradigm breaking.
A huge collection of logos, I feel I don't need to buy other books in the genre, all I need is there (i am a designer not a agency director, so don't get me wrong)

just... ok........2007-02-28

i have tons of logo and corporate branding books and was pretty excited when I saw this in the undergroud book shop in the LES. when I got home, i must say though, was a little dissapointed. some are the logos are cool, but most of them are crap. the only thing that makes this book "ok" is the amount of logos in it, but even then, many pages of logos all look the same... over and over.
