This little book is way out front in describing the future
of Internet-assisted lessons. We used it in our district with
great results. A must-have book for schools.

Although I had solely purchased this book for a college course, I can honestly say it is one book I will not be reselling. The amount of helpful sites located within the book have saved me countless hours on the Internet. Any educator would benefit from the 70+ pages of websites it offers. For the money, this was a [deal]!

Let's Go Sociology is a guide to internet sites of interest to sociologists and sociology students. It is, in fact, a great starting place for anyone just beginning to browse the web. Whether locating census data or finding out about careers in sociology, this book can guide anyone through the maze that is the internet. Let's hope the authors write more Let's Go books for other topics of interest to web wanderers. Even the price is great

I cannot recommend this book highly enough! It is an essential reference tool for anyone conducting internet research on sociological topics. Two thumbs way up!

If you're going to invest several hundred dollars in a resource of this magnitude, you are serious about what you're doing. I know I am. Here's a hint: instead of buying these heavy volumes, go instead to literarymarketplace.com and subscribe to the electronic version. The cost is comparable, but with the online version you can instantly make custom databases of the contacts that matter most to you. I ran a search on "book reviewers" in the online version, and inside of an hour I had a database of over 350 book reviewers to instantly merge into form letters in MS Word. Viola! Imagine how long that would take to key in. Yikes. Also, you know that everything is updated regularly. Give them a call and convince them and ask for a free trial.

The LMP seems to contain by and far the most complete and organized lists of book (and other media) publishers. If you're serious about publishing just about any type of work, the LMP is a very good place to start. I learned about the LMP via a book by Rudy Shur titled "How To Publish Your Nonfiction Book" in which he describes how to use the LMP to obtain your list of potential publishers in conjunction with other references, including the Writer's Market. While the LMP contains thousands of publishers, cross-referencing them in the Writer's Market and other sources is the way to go. Also, I must admit that I don't own the LMP, but rather go to my local library to use this reference book.

Original published in 1856 as the first general reference available on the subject of American riverboats, this superbly reprinted edition from Land Yacht Press of Lloyd's Steamboat Directory And Disasters On The Western Waters features a new introduction by Gregory G. Poole and is a wonderful contribution to the history of American steamboating. Highly recommended, long out of print, Lloyd's Steamboat Directory And Disasters On The Western Waters will prove invaluable to students of steamboating, American river travel, and histories of the American frontier.

The best part of American history, as far as I'm concerned, is the history of paddlewheel steamboats. We knew that many of them sunk, but this book tells you HOW they sunk, and where. If you're a steamboat lover, this book will fill in the gaps for you. It has about 100 illustrations of steamboat disasters and maps, an index of boats, and an informative introduction to the new edition. Highly recommended supplement to the steamboat bible: Fred Way's Packet Directory.

THE BEST THING ABOUT THIS BOOK IS THIS: Most of the numbers I've dialed have AN ACTUAL PERSON answering the phone at the other end!

The author is obviously as annoyed as the rest of us by electronic prompts guiding us tediously through a matrix of services we don't need.

Great stuff. Now write one for Manhattan and make me really happy.

THE BEST THING ABOUT L.A. COMPASS IS THIS: Nearly all the numbers I've called have AN ACTUAL HUMAN BEING ANSWERING THE PHONE! The author is obviously as irked as the rest of us with electronic voices guiding us tediously through a matrix of services we don't need.

Topics and numbers, that's what I want, and someone on the line who can help. Great stuff. Now just give me one for Manhattan.

I read this book, man. I mean, dude, it was killer stuff. Seriously, duuuuuuuuuuuuude. Wow man. I gave it 5 DUDES man.

Since the beginning of movie making, film makers have tried to mirror society. The counterculture has always been a favorite sticky issue, including marijuana use. As early as the 1920's, the "loco weed" has made many cameo appearances and a few starring roles. From it's early days of scare tactics in the now famous cult favorite "Reefer Madness", to the late 70's marijuana heroes, Cheech and Chong in "Up In Smoke", grass has come full circle. Although it is said that millions light up every day, Tinsletown has had a difficult time dealing with the use of marijuana on the silver screen. Nowadays, the majority of films that feature marijuana are somewhat neutral in their portrayal of this "illicit activity" and by now, many major actors and actresses have turned on! In this book, you will find over 500 movies from the past 60 years that feature references to marijuana. Whether it's a full blown pot film like, "Half Baked" or "Dazed and Confused" to a quick shot of a bong on a table or a joint in a drawer, you'll find all of marijuana's movie roles in this, The Complete Guide to the Hollywood High. Buy It!

Markets in Mexico turned out to be a great source of information for me as I was looking for specific facts about different states in Mexico. The book provided me with all kinds of information regarding the conditions of the economies, infrastructure, business activities and consumer markets. As an investor it was important for me to have a clear understanding of the potential risks and benefits involved before deciding which of Mexico's states to invest in. I also appreciated the list of state government agencies that the book provided as a source of contact. Markets in Mexico was very beneficial to me and I hope others will find it as useful as I did.

This book contains an exhaustive volume of data and statistics about Mexico and its states that you simply can't find ANYWHERE else.

I use it in my law/consulting firm in Monterrey on a daily basis.

I have looked for other publications, and nothing exists like this book, put out by the American Chamber of Commerce.

My only worry is that if enough people find out about this, I might be out of a job!

This book has all the information you will need to find and buy the perfect condominium in Maui. It covers all areas of the island and has maps and floorplans for all the listings and recent sale prices. Amenities for each condo such as pool, parking, etc. are also listed.

I just purchased this book and it is superb. It has so much information and so far it has all been correct. This will save me a lot of time and money. I am very impressed with this publication.

Ever since I failed my 70-291 test, I've supplemented all my certification studies with these shortened Exam Cram books. They always provide a great summary of what I've learned the 3 weeks or so I spend studying more detailed guides.


This one SEEMED a bit longer than the others, but there is alot of material for this test. Either way, I was able to read it in about a week (just 1 chapter each day, less than an hour), and it really explained things much clearer than MS books. The difficult concepts from the material fully sunk in, and I felt twice as confident for the test - which I aced with an 826.

I've also used the Exam Crams for the 70-291 and 70-293, but this just clearly has been the best so far. It reads very smooth - the author has a natural way with words, and turns simplicity into an art form.

I wish I could give a more detailed review of where it helped me most, but it's been a few weeks now and I'm on to my next test. On the positive, I don't remember any errors - spelling or technical. The study guide I'm reading now has already had a handful of errors in just 5 chapters!

After this book, I am giving much more consideration to using the full Exam Cram study guides for my tests! Bravo to Que - books of this quality should just boost their reputation into outer space.

My thoughts - HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

As it says in the introduction, this book does not teach you everything you need to know about a topic, it is aimed strictly at test preparation and review. The authors have studied the test and put together a guide that if diligently worked will almost certainly enable you to pass the test. 70-294 is one of the core exams that everyone gaining an MCSE must pass.

This book contains a number of parts that are designed to provide information on the test. The first thing in the book is a Cram Sheet that provides key facts about the exam. This is a brief document, but covers the general areas with which you should be familiar. This is followed by the main part of the book, broken down into nine chapters. The chapters concentrate on a major area of the test and are followed by a short examination. Following this are the two complete practice examinations and their answers. [...]

New Riders has done an outstanding job of formatting and explaining X.500 directory services in this book. Windows 2K is an enormous departure from the 4.0 environment and this book does a great job of not only relaying the info you need to pass the exams, but also can be a very handy desktop reference..
