This survey of the nature and perception of reality in psychology in the wake of technology addresses a new science 'psychotechnology', an inquiry into the merging of psychology and technology. Cyberseduction explores how and why people are seduced by virtual realities and explains how humanity has evolved.

Writer, researcher, freelance music journalist and Visiting Professor at Manhattan College, Michael D. Ayers has assembled several international experts with impressive credentials who explore the recent phenomenon of the Internet music revolution, wherein there has been a convergence between artists, capitalism, fans, media, technology, and music itself. The result is an excellent compilation of essays featured in Cybersounds: Essays on Virtual Music Culture that present an insightful analysis of topics that up to now were lacking in technical sophistication in their discussions.

In bringing together these experts, these contributors have done a remarkable job in breaking down into their basic components such hot- button issues as the legal challenges that surround music and the Internet; the birth and evolution of cyber communities; how technology is used to frustrate corporate interests; questions about transformation and how cyberspace has affected the way we appreciate music from a passive to an active role; the question of power and regulation, for as Ayers states, "music in the on-line world has pushed the envelope;" the emergence of the Apple's iPod; how bands use their websites in branding themselves and how fans interact; how music and on-line activism have come together; how fans challenge the recording industry and trade their own home made recordings of live concerts; how artists and DJs work together over large geographical spaces to create new kinds of music, and also how new technology as digital recordings in cyberspace allow for new creativity; the effects of bootleg trading and peer to peer file trading, as well as the restructuring of the patterns of music distribution and consumption.

These are only a sampling of the huge territory that this book covers and as Jonathan Sterne, one of the contributors asserts, "Cybersounds offers us an unprecedented opportunity to reflect on music on the Internet and the state of scholarship about music on the Internet."

In an academically grounded but for the most part informal presentations, this is a remarkable collection of essays that break new ground in educating readers on the convergence of cyberculture and musicology. Moreover, thanks to these contributors the door has now been opened where the study of these two disciplines has been greatly advanced.

Cymbelline, a lesser play by the great bard, is rather strange on several counts. It has more plot twists than one play can handle and the characters do some rather strange things. But forget that. This is a great value since it combines fine performances with incredible dialogue and a plot which will keep you guessing.

Wonderful!!

I just finally got through the plethora of data in this book. It might not give you all of the after mission details that we got after each mission, but it tells you all of the basics of Voyager, Pioneer, Cassini, Galileo et al. You could write an outer solar system space mission from this book. The double sided DVD as usual is brilliant, there are some amazing videos of each mission. Described by the people who lead the teams, you get the feeling of excitement that these people generate from being the first to do something extraordinary. If you are a space enthusiast you cannot afford to be without this book.
Well done once again Apogee Books

This may be one of the best, and no doubt the most useful, books I have ever read. When I first ordered this book I envisioned myself learning how to make stickmen wave, make poorly drawn cartoon dogs wag their tales or a small car bobble along a highway. I could not have been more wrong. I never would have thought that in just a few short months I would become an advanced Macromedia Flash designer. From making short action cartoons, to in-depth site intros for my friends, I feel there is no limit on what I can achieve.

The book starts off slow, making it very easy to pick up, even for the most basic of users. The pace soon quickens as you learn the ins and outs of flash programming. At no point while reading this book did I feel overwhelmed or that the book was moving to fast. Even through the more complicated sections I felt comfortable.

I would recommend this book to anybody looking to get into Flash programming, regardless of skill or ability. This book gets a perfect 5 out of 5 stars. Keep up the good work Deke McClelland, and keep supplying us with quality entertainment Amazon. Thank you.
