While reading Dees' book, I began to feel like Humphrey Bogart in The Treasure of the Sierra Madre: "Everything's clear now." For those of us "tweens" who were born in the era of the manual typewriter and have learned to speak "computer," but with a severe accent, this book in invaluable. For years, we've had to listen to the computer pros talking about POPs, DIMMs, ISDNs, ITPs, and FTPs and all we could do is nod our heads in understanding. Dees takes these concepts, and many others, and puts them in a form that is clear, concise and understandable.

Dees walks you through what you need to know: hardware, ISPs, Microsoft Outlook, e-mail, newsgroups, and the worldwide web. While Dees could overwhelm you with lots of technical jargon, he writes in plain English which is understandable and easy to follow. I found myself sitting at my computer and working through many of the steps that Dees discussed. His discussion of online security and protecting yourself was especially useful in these days when privacy is often compromised.

This book was written primarily for the law enforcement community, but it is equally relevant to those who just want to learn the basics of computer hardware and become more efficient online.

Online Resource Guide for Law Enforcement isn't just for cops-it's for everyone.

This is a great resource for anyone taking a French class. From a beginner to an expert, anyone could benefit from this little guy. The verb charts at the end really help.

When I started my French class, I had the textbook and the workbook. I decided that it would be good to get a French dictionary. This dictionary has been great. I have learned several new words that I won't have learned in class. Using the concepts for verb conjugation in class, I was able to apply what I had learned to the words I was looking up in the dictionary.

The back of the dictionary has a section on French verbs. Since that has been my major weakness, I thought that it was a great resource for studying.

Forget the Internet, get World Band!

This is fun! and a great way to spend a few hours away from the computer or television!

If I could recommend only one book to have in front of you while tuning the shortwave radio bands, this would be it. It contains listing by time, country, frequency, along with complete schedules of operation. It is written for a novice user, but with valuable info for veterans as well

I have only glanced thru this book and I hope that's all I ever have to do. It appears to be well but together with a lot of helpful information.

While this book was intended for the RV lifestyle, everyone who travels with a pet can benefit. And, if you travel with a pet, what do you do if something happens to your pet along the way? Because, as well all know, emergencies always seem to happen at night, on a holiday or when you are away from home! A sudden illness or a run in with wild life can put them at risk. Where do you turn when you are away from home on the road?

This guide is a must have for anyone who travels with a pet. It is a directory of 24-hour and after-hours veterinary facilities throughout the United States. It will direct you to the nearest facility closest to you so you don't waste precious time trying to find a veterinarian in cities you are not familiar with. It will also provide you with their phone number, so you can call ahead and let them know you are coming. And, by calling ahead you can verify that they are still in business and what their hours of operation are.

There is also a section in back of the book for you to record your pet's information, from vaccinations to microchip numbers.

While you hope you never need it - you can't afford to be without it!

This almanac is an extremely useful tool for people like me, teenagers who are wanting to go to college, but don't know where to go. This book gives a few useful facts for thousands of colleges and universities and tells you where to write for more information once you have narrowed it down. It is especially helpful when you still have a year or two to plan. I would reccommend it to anyone who is still unsure about where they want to go to college.

this is the best almanac i have ever read.it helped me to get into college.

thank you peterson's

This is an oustanding collection of poetry. With so many different poets and different styles one is able to garner the true beauty of the Internet, as the collaborative medium for great poets. The Internet opens a new path for these great poets to share and understand one another across global boundaries.

Truly a masterpiece of modern day poetry that captures the true spirit of communication.

Hats off to these great poets and publisher.

I don't like to give 5 stars because I feel people don't believe in them, but I really like this book.

I like my poetry to rhyme, and most of this is free verse, so I have to root around to feel comfortable. But there is enough rhyme for a Luddite like me to be happy, and from what I see of the free verse it is mostly clear and evocative.

What makes this stand out is the "brief" history of the Internet. It is at once the most thorough and most easily read I have ever seen. It covers from Franklin experimenting with electricity to 100 million people being on-line--I very much wish I had had this resource when I was in college.

How great--a book you can enjoy for leisure or use for research.

This book is a great book. You could make your own Pokemon Trading Cards and Trading Card Game. You could sell them and alot of people make money over little peice of paper !! This could be a beginning of our business, mine and yours. I know you will have great sucess. I hope I could make about $9999999 !!!!! I am going to get this book and you should too !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This book lets you make TWENTY different kinds of Pokemon cards. It gives you all kinds of facts about Pokemon, the Elite Four and all of that. I like this the best of their books.

The Polynesian Dance Directory by Karen Marks is full of helpful information, especially if you want to learn Polynesian dancing and have entertainers at your functions. I attended one of her Dance Workshops for the weekend and it was GREAT!!

I'm glad I bought the Polynesian Dance Directory. I didn't realize that so many people are into the dances of the South Pacific. I was able to find some dancers to perform for my friend's wedding anniversary. I also decided to take lessons and now I'm hooked!! I attended the author's (Karen Marks) Polynesian Dance Workshop for the weekend and it was wonderful. Karen has some of the best instructors teaching at her seminars. Karen is an excellent instructor/dancer too.

This is a great summary reference for private secondary schools. I especially liked the fact that it also listed the schools that provided learning disability assistance seperately.

This book gives you all the important information that you need. It lists tuition, SAT averages, AP course information, how many applicants,how many accepted and how many enrolled, how many girls and boys, sports and extra curricular activities offered, student-teacher ratios, number of faculty and how many have advanced degrees, examples of what colleges their students attend after graduation, and contact information. It makes it easy to compare schools. However, it does not give any information on what percentage of admissions are legacies, siblings, students given preferential status for being children of faculty, board members, etc. That would certainly be very interesting!
