Interactive Books

I'm a school teacher and the students love listening to the poems in this book. They giggle so much when I read it to them and they always want to hear it over and over again.

I grew up listening to these poems which Charo Cofre and Hugo Arevalo put music to. The title of the review is the title of the LP me and my brother owned. I have imagined all the characters, from the paper king -that made me reflect on how vulnerable we are (anybody can tear us apart, or hurt us because we are like paper), to the song that explains why we see seeds and ants together. Don Crispin was very much like the character I had envisioned, same as the army of seeds. The poems do not exhaust in insight as I have grown older. Like the Little Prince, I appreciate having listened and played and imagined all these worlds through these poems. They follow the path of the great fables.

I recently bought The Interactive Dake Bible CD Rom Version 1999. I found it very easy to load unto my hard drive without any technical questions or problems. Installation took me around 5 minutes.

Upon running the program, I found a great tutorial that answered my later questions. Not being someone who usually does the tutorial right away, I launched myself quickly into using the Bible program. I already have the full Logos package, so what I wanted to have access to the Dake's notes and charts. It is so smooth transitioning from format to format. I found that the Strong's Lexicon is easier to utilize that in the Logos format.

Nav Press puts out this product and you can get every Bible version in English, Hebrew and Greek, but this version comes with only the KJV. I was surprised that this version also came with some helpful maps that can be printed or imported to my word processor.

All in all, I found this a very enjoyable product.

This, along with the Dake Study Notes on your Palm Pilot, will keep all Dake-Bonoists sufficiently wired.

This is my son's favorite book. When he was just a few months old, he was captivated by the black, white, and red colors. As he grew older, he enjoyed identifying the ladybugs, frogs, and butterflies. I've purchased this book many times for baby showers and birthdays.

Dalmatian Dot is short and simple with really bright colors and very basic pictures for the youngest of babies and the shortest of attention spans. The waggy tail makes it easy for baby to carry as well. Fathers especially appreciate the 'Daddy' ending.

I am 11 years old. Read this book with my 8 year old brother. It has a good moral to it. The pictures were great. It was good for kids of a younger age group. It was funny in some parts.The words are advanced and challenging. Interesting and made me want to visit different places in the world.

This is book three of a currently three-book series. After thoroughly enjoying "Don't Judge a Book by its Cover" and "Booklet Goes to the Doctor," I was, of course, anxious to read book three. Not only are there many good lessons for children, but adults can learn from these books as well! Do you know that the National Library of France is built in the shape of four giant books? I didn't, but I learned that from this book. I was intrigued with the "book people" and the idea of their messages. I thought these might be good for my grandchildren and other children I buy for. Before buying Children's books, I like to read them. These books have bright, vivid colors and are ideal for children. They are clever, creative, and well-written with an impressive use of a variety of verbs that will be challenging, and, therefore, an excellent learning tool. There are analogies that children can relate to, and humor that will be enjoyed by adults as well as children. Although many children will read these without assistance, I think they are good books for parents to read to younger children. I am now purchasing a set of the first three books in this series for my youngest grandson to take to school as a gift to his class. I am excited about the BookMann Family series and can't wait to see more!!

I appreciate how Donald Rizzo explains the assortment of topics in his book. At first I considered I would be turned off to all the information to learn. I found how he explained cephalad, caudal, medial and lateral with much clearness. The examples of how to use each one was uncomplicated to learn from. The Integumentary System and Nervous System chapters were complex to a degree. This subject is not as easy as intro to biology. This book ranks high in my mind. Other recommendations.....

Anatomy and Physiology Study Guide:Key Review Questions and Answers by Patrick Leonardi

Anatomy and Physiology(Flash Cards) by Alcamo Edward, isbn 1878576151

Donald C. Rizzo has done an excellent job in making this book. If you never took A&P in college, and you want to learn the subject on your own for whatever reason, this is the book to start with, hands down. It does exactly what the title implies; it covers the fundamentals without a lot of wordiness, making the material easier to retain. My point: you definitely learn the subject, and fast! The book is so easy to read, its like a novel. I simply couldn't put it down. By following the mantra to independent study and learning (repetition, repetition, repetition), I believe I am as competent in the subject as anyone who took one year of A&P (as far as the fundamentals go), due to the fact that the text is straightforward, concise, and well written. I haven't found a recognizable mistake in the text yet. I also recommend buying the study guide, which helps retention.

However, I consider this book a primer, because other textbooks I've examined, such as Thibodeau and Patton's "Anatomy & Physiology (5th)," and John W. Hole Jr.'s "Essentials of Human Anatomy & Physiology (6th)," explain the material in somewhat greater detail, with more to learn. But so do the A&P books used in medical school courses. The bottom line is this: once you have gotten the fundamentals from Rizzo's book stabilized in your memory, you can step up to the larger, more detailed texts, not just the two mentioned above, but even the texts used in medical school. That is what makes Rizzo's book an excellent primer to the subject.

I liked this book because you could solve mysteries. I especially liked the Detective training and the mysteries you could solve. Who ever wants to be a detective read this book.

From the moment I opened this book I knew I would love it and most of my friends would too. You see we all love to solve mysteries and this book helps us learn how. When I took it to school with me one day, my teacher had to see it and read it too. Ms. Carlson said, "This is a really good book and I know I would have loved one just like it when I was in second grade." I take it to school with me and we solve mysteries at lunch recess. The part I particularly liked was the Night Alert. In the Night Alert someone robbed a store and the detectives caught the robbers by following the clues. I also liked Dog Training because it was really funny. Thanks to this book I am now a professional mystery solver, a DETECTIVE. This review is by Jimmy Berndt.

On va en ligne, pour faire des photos, des graphiques, et des copies. Car l'ordinateur donne aux artistes les couleurs toujours voulues. Les images se copient fidelement, de l'ecran a l'imprimeuse. Les couleurs se montrent le mieux, surtout si le noir est le quatrieme encre d'impression et si les points sont elliptiques, sur les plaques, les papiers et les colorants de la haute qualite. Reussir a dessiner a l'aide de l'ordinateur, ca se voit par les exemples dans tout le livre. Quant a moi, ce sont tres bien faits les coups de brosse crayeux dans le portrait de la jeune fille, et les tetes et les terrains sculptes au style de l'ile de Paques.

DIGITAL COLOUR IN GRAPHIC DESIGN works when drawing, painting, photoediting, and 3-D print the way you want. Because scanners and monitors work colors differently than desktop printers and offset presses, mapping can pass colors correctly along calibrated color handlers. Color management and matching systems can bring about accurately printed screen images. The 16.7 million digital palette prints best from 21-inch non-interlaced monitors onto dye sublimation desktop printers and calibrated offset presses working with black as a fourth process ink for better shadow density and overall contrast, with elliptical instead of round dots, and with quality colorants, paper and plates. Ken Pender gives striking examples, such as chalk brush icicles to his ice maiden portrait of his daughter, impasto sweeping brushstrokes to a cloned Photo CD image, and Easter Island type carving and sculpting to a polyhedron head and terrain. So the author is interesting to read along with Veruschka Gotz's COLOR AND TYPE FOR THE SCREEN, Steven Heller and Daniel Drennan's THE DIGITAL DESIGNER, Michael Leary et al.'s WEB DESIGNER'S GUIDE TO TYPOGRAPHY, and Michael J. Sullivan's MAKE YOUR SCANNER A GREAT DESIGN AND PRODUCTION TOOL.

Unfortunatly I arrived at Virginia Commonwealth University's graphic design program after Phil Meggs had passed away. His legacy still lives on. Rob Carter on the other hand has been my professor. He is a great man who pushes his students into experimenting and becoming comfortable with their own styles of design. He is by no means a "stuffy" guy. I have some of their books and I don't have one problem with them at all.

By the way, this book is a good one!

The Digital Designer is a quality publication , plus it covers enough ground to be useful in all of the classes we teach, so students going through the program will probably keep it and use it in several classes.

Your text is written in a friendly, accessible tone, and is a relief from some of the stuffy "Design is the Center of the Universe" books out there. As an example stuffy books are anything by Stephen Heller, Phil Meggs, or Rob Carter.

Their books are really good, of course, but frankly too focused on defining design as an official profession. Their books to me always seem like they are stiffly trying to define design as a formal, codified, yet creative event.

You seem to have achieved that friendly informative tone with ease. Kudos to you on your well resolved text. Frankly, this book is more useful to our program than any Rob Carter book, because of its accessibility.

This book covers some new and interesting topics in interactive digital multimedia industry, such as Digital TV, Metadata, Digital Broadcast, Digital Rights Management, Ambient Multimedia, and so on. This book provides you a broad and comprehensive view about the current multimedia application and service industry. It's the first book I have ever seen to cover so many key words and state-of-art technologies in this field. It's really a useful book for both beginners and advanced readers.

Besides the key words above, the book also covers many critical standards, from MPEG-2/4/7/21 to DVB/MHP. However, the author efficiently combined the standards, theories and practical examples, explains these profound things in a extremely simple way, which prevents you from tedious and difficult studying of these standards.

The authors focused on both the technologies and the applications. The vivid examples, and the coherent technology clue, make the reader easily get involved into the scenarios in this book. In addition, so many useful links and references make you easier to go deeper into specific topics. Furthermore, a web site has been create for this book. You can find more interesting information there.

One way to determine the level of growth of a research field is to assess the availability of relevant conferences, journals and books. In particular, the latter is a good measure of the maturity of the field, since they provide an overview of a critical mass of published work. In the interactive TV field, there been more than a few conferences and special issues in journals, but books are still scarce. So, it was a pleasant surprise to discover the book "Digital Interactive TV and Metadata", which was written by a very active team of researchers from the Digital Media Institute at the Tampere University of Technology, in Finland.

The first part of the book (Theory) begins with a short overview of DTV standards and the respective applications types that are enabled by this basic set of industry standards. Next, the book surveys the fields of Web, multimedia, DTV, in order to provide an extensive overview of metadata standards, which is the core focus of this work. Having laid the background theory, the authors present the "Digital Broadcast Item Model", which they have helped define, in the context of the MPEG21 standard. The first part of the book closes with a discussion of the implementation requirements for metadata in DTV systems.

The second part of the book (Application) begins with an interdisciplinary analysis of DTV in the fields of business strategy, consumer behaviour and narrative, all of which are put in a metadata context at the end of the chapter. Next, the authors describe the application of metadata in several DTV fields, such as digital rights management, production, interactive TV content, and personalization. The book closes with a discussion of a few innovative applications and future scenarios for DTV.

Overall, it is a rather accessible technical book for DTV and metadata. It is suitable for researchers and developers of DTV systems. In a field that is in constant growth it would have run the risk of missing recent developments, but the book is coupled with a web site that offers additional and up-to-date information (http://www.digitalbroadcastitem.tv/). Moreover, the website offers complementary slides, handouts and exercises that can be used for teaching a DTV and metadata module in university programs.

Ms. Carlson's book, Digital Media in the Classroom is a breath of fresh air in this world of techno-babble and deliberately dense teaching materials. Taking the students (and their instructor!) on a step by step journey through the world of digital tools and applications, Ms. Carlson has provided the classroom teacher with a clear, concise, and easy to follow map through the maze that has come to be known as Technology Education. Without making the reader feel like a complete techno-idiot, concepts are clarified, techniques demonstrated, and student efforts are validated in a relaxed yet efficent manner. Brava Ms. Carlson! Many Thanks!

Digital Media in the Classroom should be in the hands of every teacher in every subject K-12. We are in the 21st century and to connect with students today it is critical we engage students with digital tools. Technology should not exist in isolation from the core courses and Gigi Carlson clearly outlines how we can bring content "alive" in every subject. The book provides a wealth of examples which can be easily implemented in any classroom. Digital Media in the Classroom will bring a bit of magic into any class by taking any static national or state standard and making it "interactive" for you and your students.
