Mike Myers Books

It is a verry funny book. It has alot of Top ten charts. Like one are top ten albums. There is also alot of different things. Like it shows you how to do the Fish hook, from the movie.

This book is one of the best books iv'e ever read. If you like Austin Powers than this is the book for you. It Austin Powers mad libs, trivia, and much much more.

It would please me very much if you would order this book today!

I think this book is the best book I have ever read and I am a girl But the funny part is I never actually read it!!!!!

I foun this book funny yet stupid. You have to like all types of books to like and understand this book. Some people will disagree with me. You have to read it for yourself to decide if you like it or not.

I believe that this book, "How to be an international man of mystery" is the most outrageouse piece of writting that I have ever read, in my entire life.

Yoo Hoo! I am Mini Me and I read this book and now I know how to be an International Man of Mystery! Ha ha Austin!

I used this for an intro to psychology class. I quickly got interested in it and noticed how straight to the point everything is. After all was said and done, I think this has to be the psyc book everyone should own. I get to rent textbooks from the university, but this one I'm buying sometime soon... just now there's a new edition out (can't be too much different though... like 7 month gap between editions???). BTW, I'm a physics/EE major... junior.

This textbook is very clear and concise. It's brief, but very detailed... explains the experiments relating to each topic very well. There are so many side "comics," as someone said, which are pretty cool... they keep you thinking in the right direction, make it fun, and shows me that this book is very future-minded. The "comics" are definitely extra stuff, though, and I wouldn't judge it on them alone.

I really enjoyed the class mainly because of this book. I was taking the same class but dropped it because I was in the hospital and missed weeks of class... so I did it the next semester and got to use this book (so happy I found this book). This book is way better than the other one (Psychology in Perspective by Tavris). So much better it makes me upset. I hope others find this one enjoyable. If using a "lame" textbook for a psyc class and feel it's disorganized or some things are missing... check this one out.

...hmmm, I'm at a desk, it's quiet, there are words in front of me, I'm trying to study. . . but then, why is David Myers sitting beside me like a little dog, urinating on the rug?

Yes. Book is a good text. I will admit it. But personally, when I'm studying I'm not trying to make a new friend. Its cartoons, jokes,oddities, and "april fools day" antics serve only to foster ineffective studying. There should be a professor organization who pickets when he raises his pen.
If some students LIKE the distractions Myers puts in place, then I would expect that they should also want to put a peanuts strip in the middle of Hamlet too.

The modulated version? We've have all read plenty of textbooks. Does David Myers think that HE is going to revolutionize the textbook industry? So, instead of reading chapters which are, what he calls in his preface "too long", students can read shorter, more comprehensible "modules". Ok! I get it. But... now you've got to read six modules instead of one chapter. Alright, well why don't we just reduce Proust's seven volume novel "In Search of Lost Time" into a bunch of comic strips and make it standard 4th grade reading!

This IS a good text. But when you take an intro Psych. course at the end of which you can stage a biography about David Myers, something is up.

I really enjoyed reading this book,it gave me a better understanding of god and myself

A great book and a must read for those who'd like to be acquainted with the real meaning and a deeper understanding of God. Yet, you would need an open mind before you could start holding and enjoy reading the book. If you're the kind of person who's ready to explore and face another view of reality, then your search for spiritual motivation, development and transformation will come to mind. Take your time and read the book rather slow since you will definitely get to learn, open a new door and gain something out of it.

The simple dynamic outlined here is what you put in is what you get out. If your view of God keeps you in a state of fear then that's your input. Don't expect anything different in the output. If your input is an understanding and free flowing energy where you exchange consciousness with the divine, then your output is of course a very positive and fulfilling result. In a nut shell, Dr. Chopra is teaching what we all know, how you treat others, including God, is directly proportional to how you are treated. I think it so simple though, some people just can't believe it. The God relationship, and this is just my experience, you are dealing with an energy source, not a physical being with big white beard that sits on a throne and sends Mother Nature to punish the wicked. That is a manufactured God in the minds of humanity. It is NOT the source Dr. Chopra is writing about here.

Great book for organizing my thoughts on where I stand in my spiritual journey. I found this book to be a wonderful tool for tracking progress. Very accurate in my experience.

If I had to depend on this book to help me know God, I would be in big trouble. It started out as a good read, and had some interesting points, but by the time I got to chapter 4, I was so confused and bored. I have never read any of this guys books, but was impressed with him on tv. I think this author is a must to avoid for me. Also, the fine print was so little, I felt like I needed to call my eye doctor.

Mordred has succeeded in doing bad things in the past, in the original time of Arthur.

This book is mostly concerned with the present, and a young police officer named Arthur. Guess what happens next? Yep, the souls of all the Arthurian types eventually take over people in the present day, and the actual owners of these bodies begin to realise the roles they are playing in this conflict.

As a book dealing with the aspect of multiple overlapping parallel realities, you would probably expect a headache after reading some parts of The Return of Merlin. Chopra creates an imaginative and original rendition of the the King Arthur saga, but I'm not entirely sure I would recommend this book based on that. There are a lot of characters, although not as many as in the full Arthurian saga. Add to that the fact that many of those characters have multiple characters (which is a little odd to try to explain), and most of these characters go through several different realities, and you have a story that can be very confusing at times. And I swear I've seen the ending portrayed exactly as described in at least a dozen different movies, across different genres. But, with the particular subject matter, a few cliches aren't terribly surprising. I didn't feel like I wanted to know any of the characters, and sometimes trying to know them in the context of the story was awkward. All in all, I'd say it's average or slightly above average.

I dislike giving negative reviews, but this book was flat out boring for me.

Too many story lines, with too many characters, and too many superfluous details. The character development was weak, not nearly enough to generate intrest for me. On top of that add the scattered time travel and alternate realities and the plot became too convoluted.

The spirituality in the book is good stuff, but what is there is pretty basic, and there is not all that much of it.

Readers looking for good spiritual fiction would be better off picking something else from my review list.

Entertainment: 2 stars
Enlightenment: 2 stars

If you want to be Merlin, and you want Camelot to live again, read this book. If you are intrigued by quantum reality, read this book. If you are trying to deal with the truth about the dark side of yourself, read this book. Perception is everything. I give this book four Stars because I reserve five stars for the video "What the Bleep Do We Know?"

This is at great way to explain life and death, love and hate. Everybody should read this in school.

If you're studying for the A+ Certification and you haven't traveled back in time to the year 2001, this is NOT the book for you. While I'm sure this was useful for whatever version of the A+ exam was being floated around in the pre-9/11 era, the information in this book is now completely obsolete. There's a reason this is (currently) available for 69 cents. When it comes to IT books, check the publishing dates.

Drop some money on the newest edition of Mike Meyer's A+ Certification All-In-One Exam Guide. (You know, the ~1100 page one.) I just passed the 2006 version of the A+ yesterday using that book as almost my only study material.

This is one of the best books out there on the market. Its compact size means it is easier to find information and you can take it anywhere.

The exercises are practical (real ones that you might perform) ones and theri are clear detailed pictures. Although the pictures are not colorful they are still clear and effective. The layout is easy to follow as well. All operations are outlined in easy to follow steps.

Although this book explains some of the concepts that are used in the repairs and instlallations, this book does refer to the hardcover book so if you dont have the full edition then some computing knowledge is required to understand what the author is talking about.

All in all this is a very good book in showing you how the experts do their job.

Mike Meyers is one of the most respected people in the computer certification arena. His 3rd edition A+ book is a huge success and the follow-up lab manual is sure be just as successful.

First thing I noticed was the over 50 labs included in the book, making this the perfect companion to his book. Also I noticed that the labs are tailored made for the classroom environment and can be adapted tot eh self study mode with little headaches.

Each lab has step by step instructions that make it easy to follow along. Labs cover components, motherboards, CPUs, RAM, Bios, busses, storage, DOS, Windows 9.X, 2000, although I think NT Should have been included, sound cards, modems, video, laptops, printers and networking.

The coverage of each exam objective is what impressed me the most. Overall this is a must have for those wanting to obtain the certification the first time around.

I'm using Mike's book to study for my A+ exams, and I have found it to be very clear and easy to understand. I also picked up a copy of this lab manual, because it helps me to understand if I can actually try things. This book has been a great addition to my studying, and I think will make me a better tech. The labs are real-world things that you might really need to do as a tech, and you get practical tips - stuff an experienced tech might tell you if they were looking over your shoulder. I'm thinking of doing Net+ as well, and I'll definitely be checking out the Meyers book for that exam too!

Popgun Vol. 1 by Image Comics literally contains something for everyone. Whether you're a sci-fi nut, fantasy fan, horror addict, noir junkie, superhero fanboy or a cheesy romantic, this comic anthology will almost certainly have a story tailored specifically for you. It's 450 pages of innovative, colorful, well-written and well-drawn comics that kept me reading consistently for a week or so. Many of the stories I read twice, and there weren't any particular ones that I disliked. Most of them are printed in gorgeous color and range from anything between 2 pages to 8 pages in length. The following four comics were the ones I enjoyed most:

1) First among these were "Mexican Wrestler Funnies," written and drawn by Andy Kuhn, where El Tigre and Hombre Supremo face off against each other without actually wrestling. Their ridiculous insults are what makes this story hilarious. ("The time for insults is over! But if it were not, I would call your mother a Gravy Boat full of Kaka!")

2) My second favorite is "Sanz Panz: Ninja Platypus," where an ultra-cool duck-billed martial artist goes up against The Cheesy T-Shirt Gang. Awesome.

3) Next I would have to pick "The Amazing Joy Buzzards in The Fearless Vampire Hunters" by Mark Andrew Smith and Dan Hipp. Ridiculous, but funny as hell.

4) Finally, "Tag" by David Crosland - An artistic repesentation of a game played throughout the eons by evolution, which gives a whole new meaning to the term "survival of the fittest."

Other great stories also appear, and some by renowned comic creators such as Fear Agent Rick Remender ("The Death of the Midnight Sky"), Savage Dragon Erik Larsen ("Cheeseburgerhead") and Madman Mike Allred ("For the Record"). Numerous fictitious adds also appear between stories, most of which are quite good. Some stories are very experimental though, and may put off readers who are looking for a particular fix. I loaned Popgun to a friend and he only enjoyed about 10 out of the 50 or so stories, so it might not be as enjoyable if you are merely a casual reader of graphic storytelling. Having said that, Popgun Vol.1 is one of the best comic anthologies I have ever read, and that's saying a lot. Pick it up if you like short comics or don't have time to read longer story arcs.

The textbook shipped quickly, and arrived in excellent shape. It has tons of sample and exercise problems to sharpen your calc skills.

It's a very good book which I really enjoy reading it. It's easy to understand and some examples are very specific to comprehend the problem.

I got this in panic through overnight shipping, it was at my door at 10 the following morning. Perfect condition.

This book is written for those intending to move onwards in math, rather than those who are learning calculus for practical purposes. In general, the book is not user-friendly and at times throws in "points of interest" about math and calculus that are not labeled well, and can thus confuse/ distract the reader. The book does not contextualize what it attempts to teach and as a result, forces the reader to skim a chapter to understand the general thrust and conclusion, before attempting a detailed reading. I do not know of better calculus books, but for one inclined to search, this is not the one at which to stop.

I am a college Calculus instructor, and I find this book terrible for many reasons. For students looking for a solid but much more inviting introduction to Calculus, I highly recommend Larson's book over Stewart's.

Here is a point-by-point breakdown of the faults I find in Stewart's text:

Clarity of Explanation and Content Level

Stewart's explanations are often verbose, unclear, and written at a
level too high for the average Calculus student. Several of my students
have told me reading the book only confused them and did not
clarify the concepts. An introductory text should offer simpler, clearer, and more concise explanations more appropriate to the typical Calculus student.

Presentation

In this day and age, students expect visually engaging presentations that will hold their attention. Stewart's presentations are drab and uninteresting. His book is everywhere packed with dense plain text and
formulas, giving the impression that Calculus is hard, dull, and very
complex, further intimidating students who are already scared of the
subject. Students are much more likely to carefully read a text that is
visually appealing and makes Calculus seem interesting and less
intimidating. This will also help reduce their anxiety over what many
already consider a very difficult course.


Readability

Another important aspect of presentation is layout and readability. Here
Stewart's text is again dismal: His pages are overstuffed with text and
graphics throughout the book, making it difficult to reference a
theorem, particular type of example, etc. It is hard to see where one
example or proof ends and another begins. The average student is not
going to read the entire contents of a section in full detail, but will
rather reference the topics s/he is having trouble with, in order to get
the details on a theorem or to find an example problem to help with a
homework exercise. This is very difficult to do in Stewart's text due to
the crowded and confusing layout.

Homework Exercises

Stewart's text is again particularly poor in terms of his homework sets in that he tends to offer a few low-level problems and then suddenly jump into extraordinarily difficult problems with no warning or transition. Stewart also tends to couch exceedingly difficult problems between a series of relatively straightforward ones, again without warning, which is very frustrating for students who find themselves struggling over what they think is an easy problem.

All in all, I strongly advise against this text, and would urge other Calculus instructors and mathematics departments to choose another Calculus book for their classes.
