Beowulf the Warrior: A Tale of Monsters 1 review
Scholastic, 1968
Should be required reading for all high school students
When they exist, epic poems reveal a great deal about the mindset of a culture and modern education in the United States generally includes introduction of the Greek myths and the Iliad. However, Beowulf is often ignored and that is unfortunate. It is the only epic poem written in old English and it gives us a glimpse into the minds and beliefs of the English tribes before Christianity was ...

Victoria Pesce Elliott
MacMillan Publishing Company, 1996
the key to the keys
The definitive guide to Miami & the Keys. As a former Miami resident, I read the guide on a recent return visit, and almost wanted to stay. If I could this book six stars I would. I advise all would-be travellers to Miami & the Keys to invest in this indispensable guide.

Clinical Chemistry3 reviews
Lawrence A. Kaplan, Amadeo J. Pesce
Mosby, 1989
Excellent text, none better!
I used this as a class text at Boston University for students with a mixed background in chemistry and biology. The students liked it and so did I. Chapters begin with a brief but lucid discussion of relevant physiology which clearly motivates the clinical utility of measuring various analytes. Specifics of methods are included in a manner that aids student appreciation of laboratory approaches ...

Lost Boys: The Tribe1 review
Warner Home Video, 2008
From J. Kaye's Book Blog
Remember back to 1987's THE LOST BOYS with Edward Herrmann and Kiefer Sutherland. Gosh, I loved that movie. I think fans of this sequel will too. The plot is basically the same. After the death of their parents, Chris and Nicole Emerson move to Luna Bay to live with their Aunt Jillian.
They end up going to a party packed with vamps. Nicole drinks a mixture containing the head vamps blood. When ...

The one and the only one!
I am a student studying to be a teacher. I tends to be very frustrated with the terms that i either didn't know or, forgot what it means. Until my professor recommended me this book. I was in awe and am very grateful to have this book. This book helped me through my school years. There are many terms that are not in regular dictionary, such as "Teacher-centered". This book has the defition! I ...

EARTH 20101 review
V. A. Pesce
Lulu.com, 2006
Luv'd it!
What a nice story. With all the craziness in today's world, Earth 2010 helps bring the important things in life to the forefront. It makes you laugh, cry, scream out in anger, and hug your neighbor. What if? Is the general theme, and the story surely makes you wonder.
p.s. I signed the form in the back.

A complete manual of professional selling: The modular approach to sales success2 reviews
Vince Pesce
Prentice-Hall, 1983
All Time World's Greatest Book on Salesmanship
This book has it all and it is elegant in its simplicity and ability to be instantly understood. I use it all the time in my teaching because I can knock out the key topics of salesmanship in about three hours of class time using this book. I teach entrepreneurship at the MBA level and I'm the fellow who wrote "Will it fly?" Find a copy of this 1983 classic and commit it to memory.

Beginners Get This BOOK!
If you are a novice at hooking up a surround sound system, I would recommend Joe Pesce's book, "Easy to Understand Home Theater Setup." Most systems consist of several different components. Sometimes the instruction booklets that come with the different components offer conflicting or confusing information on how to hook up your system. This book gives detailed instructions with pictures on ...

VRML: Browsing and Building Cyberspace 2 reviews
Mark Pesce
New Riders Publishing, 1995
This book is a great introduction to 3d modeling
I am a heavy reader of computer programming/WWW books and, naturally, this book caught my eye. It is great. It gives a lot of tangent facts about 3d graphics modeling on the whole, the web, the history of VRML, and gives examples of common VRML nodes. You will learn a lot more than VRML from this book. However, you will not learn enough VRML coding to really get you satisfied, and should find ...

Toys that make you go "aha"
This is a book I wish I had written. When I picked up this book, I was amazed at how many subjects Mark covered that I was interested in too. Everything from Lego Mindstorms, Eric Drexler's Nanotechnology, Richard Feynman's talk on "More room at the bottom" that was the inspiration for Nanotechnology and many more. This book covers so much ground and describes many very interesting ideas and ...

A really great companion.
It would had been great to have this textbook with me while in my school years. It is always a delight to consult Kaplan's text, since it covers most of the lab issues with enough depth. The illustrations are not colored, but they are still pedagogic. Also, the text is enriched with lots of tables that I have found really useful. Besides this new edition is accompanied with a CD (which to be ...

Awesome Book
I've looked around for a while to find a good LightWave book because I knew very little about the program when I received it. When I read this book I was shocked. I loved it from cover to cover and have got though it several times. It is good for both beginners and advanced users.

The Wormwood Conspiracy9 reviews

Captivating... What Happens Next?!!
The book, Wormwood Conspiracy, by Joel Pesce was very captivating. I am not a reader, but a friend told me about this book and I did read it and actually liked it. He writes very descriptive and expressionate that I could picture every thing that was going on in this Biblical/Fiction book.
I can't wait to see what happens next! And I concur with the other reviewers that this would make for ...

Mostly Miami, not much Keys!
This book is probable very good with it's coverage of Miami and South Florida, but coverage of the Keys is bare minimum (47 pages (1 chapter of 13) of over 300 pages in the book).

Programming Microsoft DirectShow for Digital Video and Television (Pro-Developer)10 reviews

Good first DirectShow book for beginners
I knew nothing about DirectShow before I read this book. This book helped me quickly gain enough knowledge to start creating programs that use DirectShow capabilities. Yes, all the information is in the SDK document. But my learning time would have been much longer if I were to start by reading SDK documents. The author has digested the document and selected a subset of information to create this ...

A Fairy-Tale Christmas: Creating Magical Celebrations Inspired by an Enchanted Castle5 reviews
Karen Anderson

magical images, charming book
I received this book as a gift and was not sure what to expect, since I do not collect holiday or design books. But this is rather special ---- the designer has meticulously transformed each room into eye-pleasing havens with imaginative interpretations of classic fairy tales. The photography is good and the writing and organization invite the reader to follow along from room to room.
