Wow! I just received my copy of the guide in the mail from, yes, amazon.com, and I think it's a terrific resource. It will be of use to me and my students as i work with them to gain admission to America's top colleges. A college admissions officer told me Mitchell's guide was a great resource for her, and i can tell already it will be a great resource for me as well

This book is very important for minority students. Unfortunately, it is now 2006 and this version was published in 1996. Minority students need to know about colleges and how they can be accepted on campus. They also need to know the groups on a college campus in which they can seek support and help when needed. I hope that a new version comes out at some point so minority students have somewhere to turn.

As a novice, I was looking for some information on how to tap into the new internet music technology. This book gave me the answers in simple and interesting language. I was able, without a technical background to log onto the net and find many more music sites than I ever thought possible. I have used Dummies books before and found them very useful. This book is no exception. I am also familiar with the author becuae I have been reading his articles in the Circuits section of The New York Times...He is very knowledgeable and readable.

This is darn near the best book I have ever read on this subject. It is jam packed with useful tips and treasures. After reading this book I came away feeling like an expert. I can't wait for the next book in this series. Wahoo!

I never knew that my phone could be such a powerful tool for finding job vacancies, even for the middle management positions I'm seeking. This book is a little different. It doesn't tout job hotlines as the only way to find a job. And it tells you how to make job hotlines part of what the authors call a "savvy, balanced job search."

There are over 6,500 job hotlines here, listed by state and by industry within each state (or Canadian province). Also included are toll-free job hotlines. Best of all, the book is really free because there are coupons for over $90 in discounts on some really neat job search resources. And the book has a sly sense of humor too.

I purchased this book to get me started on my job search.Found the book to be user friendly and containing information beyond simple telephone numbers. I would recommend this reference text to any one who looking for a job. from the entry level applicant to the senior level executive.

This book is the ultimate guide for any type auto racing fan! I've got the '90 edition-it's getting pretty worn out. Time to get a new one. Plan a visit to a local short track on your next vacation. KEEP THIS BOOK WITH YOU WHEN YOU HIT THE ROAD! Like they say, don't leave home without it! Best bang-for-the-buck for any auto racing enthusiast!

If you are an auto racing fan and headed into new territory, you must have this book. It's very well organized. The entries (updated each year) are thoroughly reliable. Events, phone numbers and directions for every track. Schedules for major national and regional series.

You cannot call yourself a race-chaser without owning at least one copy.

A very useful resource for those traveling or vacationing with horses.

If you are traveling with horses, this is a book you must have. I found a wonderful new stable here - I looked on the internet sites, but this is the best. Well worth the money.

The Native American Indian Artist Directory is simply terrific. I have used it to find several artists and what a wonderful experience. To be able to speak with the artist directly and arrange to meet with them personally has provided experiences that will be remembered for a lifetime.

The book itself has chapters on various pueblo and tribal groups with a brief overview of each group. Several artists are mentioned in this section along with general directions to get to the area. Sometimes special events are mentioned and ideas about visiting are offered.

The idea of being able to contact a Native artist directly, without having to go through a gallery or trading post, offers you a chance to get to know the artist on a personal level. When you buy your art or craftwork you can ask specific questions about the meaning of certain symbols or of the work itself. The artist can also tell you about his technique, his motivation, his interests, etc. As the book says, you have a chance to make a friend for a lifetime. And, if you're lucky, you may arrive at just the right time to have some excellent frybread, horno bread, or other wonderful native food. Overall, a great opportunity!

The book is well indexed, with all artists listed alphabetically in the back, by name and tribal affiliation. It was very current, but I understand that you may find some artists have moved, changed phone numbers or added e-mail or web sites that may not be in the book.

This directory has everything you need to find the Indian artist you're looking for. It's extremely useful, lising artists in alphabetical order in the index and grouped together by tribal affiliation in the book chapters. If you're thinking about buying Indian art of any kind you NEED this book. Whether it's Indian jewelry, pottery, paintings, baskets, rugs, kachinas, fetishes,masks or any number of hand-made Native American items you're looking for - someone who makes them is in this book. It is the only directory I've found anywhere that lists this many artists and provides mailing addresses, phone numbers and even e-mail and web sites for some. It is current - the numbers I called were correct and up-to-date!

There is also some information about various tribal groups and a few helpful hints about buying Native art.

And the price makes it a real bargain. This book should more than pay for itself with your first purchase.

Sellers and buyers on the Internet today have rarely ventured beyond the boundaries of print and broadcast metaphors in the Internet medium. While Internet uptake is dramatic, the business revolution has hardly begun. The real power of this new medium lies in its ability to allow the buyer and the seller to connect, communicate and negotiate in a faster, more efficient way. The dramatic rise and fall of "dot-com" companies was very much rooted in over extending the wrong metaphor, and that misconception largely continues.

In Net Benefits, Wingham Rowan has dared to think beyond the traditional broadcast metaphor and consider how marketplaces that exploit this new medium might operate. In their most highly developed state electronic marketplaces would act like the automated exchange behind international currency trading, or the automated exchange recently introduced to the Pacific Stock Exchange. These systems efficiently and impartially match buyers and sellers, and price becomes a function of current supply and demand. The revolution comes in their potential to replace the current marketing techniques designed to exploit the fragmented and inefficient matching of buyers and sellers inherent in paper and broadcast media.

This book forces us to question the attention paid to the recent dot-com model, the new Internet superstores, portals and the struggle for megamarkets. It suggests that perhaps these are just comfortable diversions along the way to the real revolution. Just as the Industrial Revolution grew out of the cottage industries so the new Interactive Revolution will grow from the seeds of atomized capitalism. The use of the web by small and local businesses for local and regional commerce will quietly undercut the current order of mega-merchants.

While the book considers detailed scenarios of how this revolution might impact a number of service areas, it stops short of perhaps the most profound impact, our concepts and opportunities for corporate ownership and investment in this new world. If you buy Rowan's view of the future, one wonders what will happen to a world of personal investment that relies on ever higher profits and stock values of large and growing corporations. Individual and small scale operations do not require the capital ownership or offer the individual growth potential of today's corporations. The stock portfolios of today may begin to look like the castles and estates during the last economic revolution as their ongoing value slips below their cost of maintenance. The dislocation would be as severe as the Industrial Revolution.

Whether the revolution takes the form of guaranteed electronic markets as Rowan envisions, or follows some other variant, is immaterial. The real electronic commerce revolution will be much more subtle in its approach and more devastating in its impact than anything we have seen so far. Net Benefits, at the very least, starts us thinking outside the traditional metaphors.

This is one hell of a vision. I read Small is Beautiful which was a great idea but not really workable in advanced countries. This guy seems to have worked out how to make "atomised capitalism" more efficient than what we think is going to happen with e-commerce. I can't stop thinking about it.

This book covers all the syntax that you need to use on a day to day basis for supporting NDS without having to wade through 1500 pages to find them.

This is a great book to have. Save time from looking up on the internet and searching for courses in the New England area. Great for the price too! Buy it today!

This is the definitive book for public golf in New England. The coupons alone pay for the book at least 10 times over each year. And each year it keeps getting better. The database is accurately maintained and always up to date. Tee times, phone numbers, course ratings, slopes, tips for each course, you name it, it's in this book. I wouldn't think of starting a year of golf in New England without it.
