This book has been invaluable in helping me pass nursing exams in school. I know it will be a great help when it is time to take the NCLEX exam. I highly reccomend it!

I first encountered this book in a masters course at FSU. After reading it I got that excited feeling that I get when I encounter an astounding book. I was sick and tired of computer books that are product driven and programming content crazy. I hadn't seen any books tell you what you could do with this programming you just learned. This book shows you the steps it takes to develop your idea, from knowing your audience to post-production. Now you can learn not only that techie stuff everyone else does now you can know what to do with it.

Hi, I'm Jeff Burger, author of Multimedia for Decision Makers. A special "howdy" to my regular readers in NewMedia magazine! Don't have time for the inch-thick tomes on multimedia? This book is for you! At only 170 pages, it's gives you the technology overview you need, not the gory bits and bytes. More importantly, it answers questsions like: How can it be used in marketing, training, retail, and presentations? How are my peers and competitors using it? Where's it all going? It even has running summaries down the margins, making it even easier to get to the information you need fast. Think of it as an executive brief on multimedia in business! Then if you want more detail, check out my other two books. The Desktop Multimedia Bible (Addison-Wesley) - a best-seller in the field - gives you fundamental info on the technology, tools, and techniques of graphics, audio, video, computers, and interactive technology. My latest book, Multimedia Studio for Windows (Random House), details the top Windows multimedia productions tools and includes a CD-ROM with free test drive versions of the software along with tutorials from yours truly. Enjoy! Jeff Burger

This "Visual Quickstart Guide" gives step-by-step help for using all of the components of Netscape Communicator. I wanted to know how to set up my computer to use the mail; I found answers to all my questions in an quick easy-to-follow manner. This is a "must" for those using Communicator on a Mac!

As a neurology resident, I find this book to be extraordinarily helpful. It is, as the title of this review suggests, the first text I consult for any neuropathology question. It is also an outstanding resource for concise summaries of the clinicopathological hallmarks of a wide variety of conditions.

The book contains numerous high-quality photographs of gross anatomical pathology and histopathology. The text is well-written, clear and concise. There are a number of handy summary tables in each section. The overall layout of the book is clear, aesthetically pleasing, and visually appealing. The color coding of different sections is helpful in reviewing a given topic, and the index is complete.

Some previous reviews suggested that bibliographic references could be more complete. While this is true, I find it to be a minor point in such an otherwise outstanding text. For comprehensive treatment of any given subject, other, more detailed textbooks are available, but few can rival the clarity of text and quality of pictures in Ellison et al.

From the perspective of an academic neurologist in training, this is the one neuropathology book I want to have on my bookshelf. It is an outstanding contribution to the field.

In the introduction to his book "Northern Reflections", Jerry Harju reveals that it's a book about growing up in Michigan's Upper Peninsula in the 1940's and is perhaps most appreciated by those who can identify with that.

While I'm familiar with Upper Michigan and its culture, I did not grow up in the 40's, and still found plenty of good reading here.

If you're new to reading humorous books (as I am), I recommend this one as a great place to start. It's an easy read, comprised of short chapters, each its own story, so you can pick it up, read a chapter, and come back for more later as time permits.

The author's humor has a wonderful way of sneaking up on a person. And just when I thought it couldn't get any funnier, I'd start the next chapter, and before I knew it, I'd find myself doubled over with even greater helpless laughter! Teens may appreciate it, too. From a first job, to dating, to his first car, Jerry covers it all, against the backdrop of small-town life in the rugged climate of northern Michigan.

"Yoopers" (as U.P.'ers are known), especially, should appreciate it; but even if you're not a Yooper, there's still lots to laugh about.

I found that the "Dummy" books were very helpful with my old Mac/Office software, and l purchased this book on that basis. So far, it has been most helpful on my iMac/Office 2008 setup, clarifying procedures and capabilities, and helping me in understanding the systems. I recommend it.

I have been and still am reading Official Netscape Communicator for Macintosh. It is absolutely the best book on Netscape because it is in simple easy English. I recommend it to all my friends and my fellow Macintosh Users. It has humor, wonderful illustrations, and clear & to-the-point tips on everything you need to know in the powerful Netscape. The accompany CD ROM is sensational and has great special effects. I put this book right up there next to Internet Starter Kit by Adam Engst. Two wonderful books you can not get along without!!

a very good book. no problems with shop.

My friends and I are currently studying this book in our womens study group and we really love it. What a blessing it is. It is like learning from a friend, and is so well written. I am thankful for the Godly wisdom these women have shared through this book, and for the time and effort they put into it. I recomend this book highly! You will be blessed.
