X Books

I've not read this book. But Marty is a good guy and y'all should all buy his book. I hear he's about to publish a biography on Michael Polanyi. I can't wait to read that one too!

PEXlib, in tandem with the PEX extensions to the X Window System, brings native 3D graphics to the world of the X programmer. The PEXlib Reference Manual is the
definitive programmer's reference resource for PEXlib, containing complete and succinct reference pages for all the callable routines in PEXlib version 5.1.

The content of the PEXlib Reference Manual stands, with relatively few changes in content, as it was created by the MIT X Consortium. It is, however, considerably
reorganized, with the reference pages now in alphabetical order, and with the addition of a complete list of PEXlib calls, arranged by functional classification.

I'm a completely unabashed X-files fan. My wife and I lived without TV for 12 years and never viewed an episode until we purchased 9 years worth of DVD boxed sets here on amazon and watched them all over a single winter.
I am also an unabashed fan of the "Philosophy of the X-files." The concepts, theories and inner angst of Mulder and Scully demanded a philosophical examination directed to present day society and this collection of thought provoking essay's edited by Dean A. Kowalski, who was also a major contributor, does an excellent job.
I have added this book to my collection of X-files reference books and if you'd like to delve beneath the surface of the unique way the X-files views the world around us i recommend this book.

I like this book. It was very good. I loved its stylistic way of flowing through subject to subject. Its interwoven drama and spirit made it a fun read and an inspiring epic. This is a must read for any physics junkie and for all those just getting interested.

I bought this book for my son-in-law for Christmas. He loves it. He said it is very helpful.

This book is a must have for any working chemical engineer, chemist or chemical technician in the pharmaceutical industry. The author has compiled a tremendous amount of information that is easily accessible and applicable to practical chemical development. I reach for it now when I need a reference for chemical property data, equipment information and other working knowledge. I work in a scale-up lab and find this text invaluable.

A fun item this beige on black T-shirt offers us the traditional jolly roger along with the advice that "We are always on a quest to reveal your hidden treasures." A great goof, this shirt is made of good quality cotton and is a definite attention-getter.

The best of its kind for the technical detail. We have most of the other airport and terminal design books on the bookshelf (up to 2005 publication date), but every time we come back to using Horonjeff for the serious design of new airports and extensions. It is also good for layout design by the engineer for terminals - although the architects may want more books. But there is another book - the 2003 book titled Airport Systems - Planning, Design and Management by Richard de Neufville and Amedeo Odoni - that will become the definitive text on airport design for the first part of the 21st century. So you'll need both, especially if you have to deal with the complexity of systems and stakeholders that are part of medium to large size airports.

Horonjeff has got the full set of data tables and charts to enable you to design anything. I seldom need to use the ICAO Manuals on a daily basis, and only use them for cross checking an obscure point. The upgrade from the 3rd edition to the 4th edition was a big one - it metricated much of the book, added in the latest aircraft (late model 737, 767s and ER, and the 777-200), and generally updated the book. Examples of new information are some good stuff on runway/taxiway capacity, and some additions to ACN/PCN. Worth spending the money to update. Essential to buy if starting from scratch. The best textbook for a technical course on Airport Engineering. Needs Airport Systems to have a rounded and modern view of masterplanning (and the successor to masterplanning - dynamic systems planning).

Well of course its outstanding. Pictures of beautiful women in swim suits?
What review could anyone otherwise give?
But, Amazon, where s this years?

You will have seen there are hundreds of books written by and about football hooligans. Some are very good others frankly, are not! When I picked up Playing Up With Pompey I thought it was going to be just another 'we went to this match had a fight, dranks fifty pints of beer, smashed up a pub, had another fight, and went home' I was delighted to find out however that this was not the case. Yes the book is about the Portsmouth 6.57 Crew a gang of football hooligans, and yes many of their fights are of course featured, because there wouldn't be a lot of point to the book other wise would there? What makes this book so different is the way it is written, Beech has a very witty writing style and adds a lot of humour to the tales. Also unlike many books of this type he does not try to portray the 6.57 Crew as the toughest meanest gang on the plant, and unlike other titles is open and honest enough to say when they came off second best. Reading the book took me onto the terraces with them, I have never been involved in this type of thing, it also gave me a kind of understanding of what made people like Beech tick, the comradeship of being on enemy turf waiting for the battle cry to go up. If you have already dipped your toe into the world football violence books, then dive straight into the deep end with this one you won't be dissapointed.
