Lest We Forget: The Passage from Africa to Slavery and Emancipation: A Three-Dimensional Interactive Book ...22 reviews
Velma Maia Thomas

Crown, 1997

Totally Unique
"Lest We Forget" is a totally unique book. As the subtitle suggests, it is a three-dimensional, interactive book on the history of African Americans from capture to emancipation. With photographs and documents from the Black Holocaust Exhibit, it provides a tactile, touch and feel, show and tell sense that no other book can offer. It is like a visit to a museum in your own home. Reviewer: Bob ...
  
  











  



  
Concerning the spiritual in art (The Documents of modern art)13 reviews
Wassily Kandinsky

Morgan Press, 1972

"to break the bonds which bind". . . "to an impoverishment of possibility"
Kandinsky had risen to positions of influence in other disciplines (political science/economics and law) before directing his considerable intellect to painting. His insights extended into the historic 'meta' trends of the arts and sciences, including the physical sciences, and had his interests been directed more to the history and philosophy of science instead of the history and philosophy of ...
  
  











  



  
Creating Cool HTML 4 Web Pages46 reviews
Dave Taylor

John Wiley & Sons Inc (Computers), 1998

Best HTML Book Around!
I graduated from the University of Redlands (California) with a Bachelor of Science in Information Systems degree a few years ago. Many of the textbooks I used were not very enlightening - I suffered through using them and immediately took them back to the bookstore for resale. This wasn't so with the CREATING COOL HTML 4 book. I use this as a reference book now. One of the classes I took ...
  
  











  



  
The Imitation of Christ : With Reflections from the Documents of Vatican II for Each Chapter70 reviews
a Kempis Thomas

Alba House, 1998

The treasure
Why claim trinkets when you can read one of the best devotionals on the market. I use it to keep my daily life in check, to remember to have the right focus and to live what I believe. This is the top of the charts for a "Christian" work. Brother A'Kempis was a great instructor and a wise disciple. So much of todays mediocre fluff is twisted by society, self centeredness and lazy Christianity ...
  
  











  



  
Dreamweaver 3 Hands-On-Training (2nd Edition)44 reviews
Lynda Weinman, Garo Green

Pearson Education, 2000

Absolutely the Best
I must say that Lynda is, hands down, the best instructor I've ever come across on the printed page. I've been using Dreamweaver for over two years and I learned so much from this book. The chapters and exercises were so concise, so ordered and really a lot of fun. I recommend this book whole-heartedly!
  
  











  



  
HTML & Web Design Tips & Techniques16 reviews

McGraw-Hill/OsborneMedia, 2002

Great Book
I found this book to be excellent. It is very rare today to find a computer science book that is thorough, logical and well organized, yet brief and to the point. This can be said for all of the chapters in this book. I would strongly recommend this book to anyone wanting to learn about web programming.
  
  











  



  
Build Your Own Website The Right Way Using HTML & CSS34 reviews
Ian Lloyd

SitePoint, 2006

Web Standards, XHTML, CSS--THE Book For Learning
I teach college courses on Web development that emphasize Web standards and usability. This is one of only two entry-level (X)HTML + CSS books that I will recommend to students, and this is THE book I recommend for those who want to get started in the field as an in-depth guide to standards-based Web development, or as an excellent, no-frills reference for your Web development bookshelf.
  
  











  



  
Babi Yar: A Document in the Form of a Novel16 reviews
A. Anatoli

Bentley Publishers, 1979

Tragic
I first read this book in high school as a shelf clearing library rat. It was not recommended, it was not widely known, it just sat on a shelf gathering dust. As far as I could tell, I was the first person to check this book out of my high school's library....books used to have cards glued to the back page where you signed your name...this one had no signatures. I read "Babi Yar" 3 times in the ...
  
  











  



  
Teach Yourself Visually HTML23 reviews
Ruth Maran

Visual, 1999

The Only Book You Need!
Although I consider myself fairly computer savvy, I know absolutely nothing about webpage development. Until now. With this book, I was able to create professional looking webpages in literally, minutes. This is my first and only book I've purchased about creating webpages. I can't say that other books aren't as useful, but I can say, that this step-by-step approach, is fool-proof. I highly ...

PCs: The Missing Manual9 reviews
Andy Rathbone

Pogue Press, 2005

Takes a Broad Subject and Does It Well
Once upon a time, computers came with big, thick, intimidating manuals filled with every bit of arcane knowledge the designers thought that the user would need. Nobody ever read them, partly because of their size, but mainly because it was tedious, time-consuming work to sift throught the manual to try to find the answer you actually needed. Eventually, manufacturers stopped making these ...
  
  











  



  
XML Family of Specifications: A Practical Guide (2 Volume Set)10 reviews
Kenneth B. Sall

Addison-Wesley Professional, 2002

Rather practical!
Where to start? With the concise history of where XML came from and why each design decision was made and how the evolution of specifications took place over the years, or the thorough explanation of all the XML specifications, or the programming and parsing aspects of XML and metadata, or the cool XML timeline poster towards the end of the book? This book has much to offer any person ...
  
  











  



  
Processing XML with Java(TM): A Guide to SAX, DOM, JDOM, JAXP, and TrAX12 reviews
Elliotte Rusty Harold

Addison-Wesley Professional, 2002

Excellent!!!
If only every technical book was written this well! Anyone who is working with Java and XML should have a copy of this book. Highly example driven with clear explanations, the author makes using XML in your Java programs a breeze. Even better, the author has a style that makes the book fun to read as you feel like you are learning all sorts of secrets from an XML insider. The book starts with ...
  
  











  



  
VoiceXML: Professional Developer's Guide with CDROM10 reviews
Chetan Sharma, Jeff Kunins

Wiley, 2001

Good coverage, up-to-date, very userful
This is the best VoiceXML book I've seen. Most VoiceXML books try to do too much: talk about voice hardware, telephony, the history of voice, tts, as well as be a VoiceXML reference. The weakness of these books is that one or more of these sections reveals that the authors do not really command the knowledge needed to make these sections useful. This book also attempts to do these things, but ...
  
  











  



  
Effective XML: 50 Specific Ways to Improve Your XML (Effective Software Development Series)13 reviews
Elliotte Rusty Harold

Addison-Wesley Professional, 2003

The best XML book I've read
Effective XML is a collection of about 50 tips for working with XML. Although XML seems is simple and easy to use, it's also easy to get wrong. I've often scratched your head and wondered why things like XML Schema, for example, just doesn't feel right. But it wasn't until I read Effective XML that I understood what was really awkward with it. Because the book is so diverse (an amazing feat ...
  
  











  



  
How to Do Everything with HTML12 reviews
James H. Pence

McGraw-Hill Osborne Media, 2001

Great Starter Book
"How to Do Everything in HTML" does exactly what it says. It simply takes a beginner (like me) and shows how to use basic programming to do what you want rather than what you can figure out. This is THE book I would recommend to someone who wants to know what HTML is and does but lacks prior computer programming experience. Even those familiar with other computer languages such as C++ or java ...
  
  











  



  
MCAD Developing XML Web Services and Server Components with Visual C#(TM) .NET and the .NET Framework Exam ...9 reviews
Amit Kalani, Priti Kalani

Que, 2003

A Good Bet for Exam 70-320
This certification study-resource from Author Amit Kalani, served as a rather indispensable part of the revision portfolio for Exam 70-320 (XML Web Services and Server Components with C# .NET ). Simply put, it is a very useful & sound comprehensive reference for Exam 70-320. It served me greatly in gaining both an overview of all the elements that would appear on the 320 exam, but also served ...
  
  











  



  
Sams Teach Yourself HTML & XHTML in 24 Hours (6th Edition) (Sams Teach Yourself in 24 Hours)13 reviews
Dick Oliver, Michael Morrison

Sams, 2003

An excellent starting point
This text will not make you a wizened internet programming guru... but it doesn't pretend to do so. What it does promise, and deliver, is a solid grounding in the creation of basic web pages. The book starts with the absolute basics; nothing is assumed. Finding someone to host your web site is covered, as is the creation of files using the Windows Notepad text editor and the uploading of files ...

God Is Love (Deus Caritas Est) (Benedict XVI)11 reviews
Pope Benedict XVI

USCCB Publisher, 2006

Animated Inexhaustible Love
This is an Encyclical worth reading. Over the years I attempted to read several encyclicals and found them rather technical and often difficult to read. I concluded that Popes are not usually good writers and that I would read encyclicals only as reference books. Benedict XVI, for me, breaks the mold. He is an excellent writer and offers fresh insights into Christianity. Deus Caritas ...
