As one of the authors, I know the book well, and am not so much reviewing as sharing how it has been made. Brother Jim, a freelance mechanic in Austin, TX for a quarter century and more, and I published an early version ourselves in 1992, and it is the first guide to the real spoken slang of car, truck, and motorcycle slang--not complete, but stimulating and authentic. It is finally widely available, and its word-list is a key-word guide to the car culture. Lewis J. Poteet

I was laughing out loud on every page. The author is a comic wizard and the illustrations are just as funny as the written material. If you like to laugh at celebrities, this book pulls their pants down and exposes them for what some of them really are LOSERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This book covers the most up to date information in the field of human computer interaction, also known as human factors engineering. It is a collection of papers from industry experts and discusses works in progress.

The book is extremely well organized since it has not only an index of terms but an index of authors and a table of contents that groups papers by topic.

The topics cover the most technical issues of virtual reality, software programming tools and techniques to the most human centered issues of the learning processes, keyboard styles and narrative techniques.

This book provides important information for any person that designs, develops, delivers or trains people in the field of automation.

I purchased this book through a marketplace seller for about half of my local bookstore price. Easy too read, informative text needed for a college course. Never used the cd.

I was first exposed to this software while I was student teaching. I was completely amazed and awed at how complete the information is. Not only does it give great details, but it also gives sound clips! WOW! It is extremely user friendly. The user may type in a specific date, or scroll through the years to find the information that is needed. This will give children a great interest in history because it is so easily accessed and is a visual delight.

I bought Sporty's ground school, and have done Gleim on line. Nothing compares to the Cessna Cleared for Landing. it is complete and understandable.

Unless you already know the material, this is a great kit to buy.
The Cessna book has very clear explanations and some humor.

There is some quirks about registering this with a Cessna school. So ASK before you buy it. Remember to keep your warranty card with the id number. The software is on loan, so you do not own and cannot transfer the license.

I have not seen the Jeppesen Private Pilot yet. Their CFI refresher series was good.

I'll update once I get into it, But the KINGS which do some of the training are notorius for doing a great job.

Sporty's is good for a review, but just is not as thorough.

Exceptional, Very Useful "Do-It-Yourself" Book !!!! I found the book easy to follow and understand with organized projects, making video taking of family and vacations easier than it has been in the past. The book chapters are an easy read and made me want to expand my video project capability. The book is filled with easy step-by-step "key points" with photos to help along. Most of all, the book was extremely practical for the whole family, whether to shoot great vacation footage or a birth announcement. Some of the other great features of the book was how to stream video to your computer and my favorite was how to archive your videos, for long standing memories. Being that I love shooting video on vacation and of my family, this book is an amazing and well put together, asset to the CNET Do-It-Yourself books. Easy for amateurs and professionals, as well !!

Dr. Hollnagel's book provides an excellent background and introduction to the challenges facing designers and operators of complex systems who wish to account for human performance. He provides a thoughtful discussion of cognitive and organizational mechanisms that influence human behavior and provides a practical and throrough guide to understanding and assessing the implications of system design on human performance. This book will be a valuable reference and source of knowledge for system developers and maintainers of complex systems and technologies.
