Fred Rosner

Ktav Pub Inc, 1991

Riveting medical issues and ethics from a Jewish perspective
Whatever your perspective, this one makes for fascinating reading. From artificial insemination to euthanasia, all facets of medicine are explored, all with related Jewish references and guidelines. The author doesn't just investigate obvious issues such as abortion, suicide and how to treat terminally ill patients but also looks at more obscure areas - unconventional therapies, dental ...

Augmented Learning: Research and Design of Mobile Educational Games

2 reviews
Eric Klopfer

The MIT Press, 2008

Tons of interesting examples
This book is great if you're interested in how games can enhance learning, both for ideas and for practical tips. The book has tons of examples from all over, as well as a lot of details on a range of projects from the authors lab. Many of the ideas for games he talks about are pretty novel, but after you read them they seem like natural ways of using computers to help people learn. The various ...

The End of Hardware: A Novel Approach to Augmented Reality

2 reviews
Rolf R. Hainich

BookSurge Publishing, 2006

Highly recommended
Augmented reality could be many things today. This book is based on the original idea - portable, ubiquitous computing with but a single user interface, minimized to the absolutely necessary adaptation to the human senses - and it's probably the most complete book ever written about it. Does it really make sense that we're filling our rooms with more and more electronic gimmicks and gadgets, ...

William McGinnis

Whitewater Voyages, 2005

Guide's Guide Very Informative
As someone in the process of starting a rafting company, RiverIndia.com, I needed a book with thorough, dependable information covering all aspects of whitewater rafting. The Guide's Guide suprised me in its completeness and in-depth treatment of everything from knots, guiding, cooking, forms, games, and more! William McGinnis, one of California's whitewater pioneers, should be commended on this ...

Honor Thy Father And Mother: Filial Responsibility in Jewish Law And Ethics: Augmented Edition

1 review
Gerald J. Blidstein

Ktav Publishing House, 2006

worth reading
though not as practical as I imagined from the title - but paradoxically, the book explains its own impracticality, by pointing out that given the variety of possible parent/child conflicts, it isn't really possible for halacha to address most of them. Nevertheless, the book raises a few interesting points: *pointing out the difference between appropriate behavior in private and in public. ...

great book
This book is great for anyone that works in a studio. It makes you really think about your health and there are plenty of things in here that I wouldn't have normally thought about.

Weldon W. Rau, Mary Ann Boatman, ...

Washington State University, 2001

Surviving the Oregon Trail 1852
I have known the author for more than 30 years, so I have been aware of his 15-year effort to research, write, and publish this book as it unfolded. It is with pleasure, therefore, that I can attest to how well crafted it is. Rau tells the story of his great-grandparents' journey by employing extensive quotes from their written accounts and from the accounts of other 1852 Oregon Trail travelers. ...

Faith & Doubt: Studies in Traditional Jewish Thought - 3rd augmented edition

1 review
Dr. Norman Lamm

Ktav Publishing House, 2007

For college-level in-depth Judaic philosophy and spirituality holdings, it is a top pick.
FAITH AND DOUBT discusses religious faith and comes from a former President of Yeshiva University identified with modern Orthodox Judaism - but this book shouldn't be limited to such an audience. It discusses everything from comparative law and metaphysics to natural science and updates all topics discussed in the prior edition. For college-level in-depth Judaic philosophy and spirituality ...

Pamphlet Architecture 28: Augmented Landscapes (Pamphlet Architecture)

1 review
Smout Allen

Princeton Architectural Press, 2007

The Immacuate Line
I am pleased I added this title to my growing Pamphlet Architecture collection. In the best of meanings - this book is one that must be read from cover to cover to gain a very precious in-sight to the work of Laura Allen and Mark Smout. Immaculate drawings with detailed modelling combine with clear informative text that describes propositions that are at once both architectonic in mechanised ...

Mary Ann Romski, Rose A. Sevcik

Paul H Brookes Pub Co, 1996

Wonderful for graduate students in communicative disorders
I am a graduate student at Gallaudet University. After owning library late fees, I decided to purchase my own copy of this book. This will be a great general reference to anything related to communication disorders and mental retardation in future papers and future job practice as a researcher.

The New Oxford Annotated Bible with the Apocrypha, Augmented Third Edition, New Revised Standard Version, ...

4 reviews

Oxford University Press, USA, 2007

Best Bible I Own
This is the best bible i have yet to own. The bibnding and leather are great, the text is a wonderful size, and is glorious due to the addition of the Apocrypha. The notes are the best of any Bible I have ever seen. They reference knowledge and scholars outside of simple Christian thought. The notes as well as the translation are enhanced due to the ecumenical influence. No other Bible refernces ...

The New Oxford Annotated Apocrypha, Augmented Third Edition, New Revised Standard Version

5 reviews

Oxford University Press, USA, 2007

Great version of the books missing from my other Bibles
This version of the Apocryphal books, traditionally found in the Septuagingt and "Catholic" Bibles is an easy read and contains many helpful tools. The introductions, maps and other background helps are indispensible in creating context for the reader. The inclusion of chapter and verse markings (which my KJV of these books lacks) is also useful in making notes and references. And above all, my ...

Spatial Augmented Reality: Merging Real and Virtual Worlds

2 reviews
Oliver Bimber, Ramesh Raskar

A K Peters, Ltd., 2005

Excellent comprehensive book on an emerging technology
Augmented Reality is different from Virtual Reality in that part of the scene is "real" and part of the scene is computer generated. In Virtual Reality, the entire experience is computer generated. This is one of the very few helpful books on augmented reality that is not so academic and terse that it can only be understood by an optics specialist or a designer of specialized hardware. Chapter ...

Here are surveys of networked environments which blend technology with organizational and philosophical issues and changes, along with considerations of computing world evolution and how it reflects profound changes in ...

7 reviews

Oxford University Press, USA, 2007

The New Oxford Annotated Bible with Apochrapha
I am involved in a Bible Study course and this Bible was recommended by our pastor who is leading the class. I have enjoyed reading the information on each book of the Bible as well as the additional information on each verse including interpretation and/or background of many of the words within the verses. This is also the Bible that is used for scripture reading in our Chapel sessions each ...

Augmented Reality

Jason Guile

Authorhouse, 2004

"Guile & Deceit"
The fact that you have purchased and are now reading the book "Augmented Reality" (Authorhouse, $9.50) is a personal insult to Jason Guile. Using iconoclastic literary techniques, peppering backward and forward scenes with famous quotes and a slew of F-words, and using a story structure so intolerant towards the rules of traditional publishing that he insists on naming his characters "Mr. ...
