E-mail Books

The collaborative effort of computer communications experts Matthias Schonlau, Ronald D. Fricker, Jr. and Marc N. Elliott, Conducting Research Surveys Via E-mail And The Web is a practical and accessible guide to applying the pervasiveness of the internet to the gathering of survey data in a much faster and significantly less expensive manner than traditional means of phone or mail communications. Yet online surveys have their own pitfalls that can adversely skew data results. Individual chapters cogently address how to take maximum advantage of the Internet while preserving data integrity, and provide an invaluable look at the future of internet-based survey methods. Simply put, Conducting Research Surveys Via E-mail And The Web is a "must-read" for anyone in academia, government, social issue activism, or business who is contemplating running a survey through the use of electronic mail or a webpage.

IF YOU ARE A PERSON THAT EARNS THEIR LIVING AS A RESIDENTIAL REAL ESTATE PROFESSIONAL, YOU NEED THIS BOOK! PERIOD!

It is a wealth of information which includes sample letters to clients, forms, clauses, etc.

In my opinion, the VALUE goes way beyond the COST of the book.

Javad Saffarzadeh has done an impeccable job of producing an outstanding series of computer instruction books, particularly Introduction to PC and Windows. We're convinced he has captured all the basics for beginners. The Teacher Talking texts should make the best seller list in no time. Again, we commend Mr. Saffarzadeh and those who were instrumental in preparing this outstanding three-book spiral series ... A great read!

This is a very helpful book -- I'm much more organized with my e-mail after having read it. Helpful tips include setting aside time each day to read and respond to my e-mail, instead of being tempted to open each message just as soon as arrives in my "in box." I also appreciate the tear-out card of "Stress-Free Strategies" which is included with the book. I keep the card by my computer at work to keep me from being overwhelmed by the numerous e-mails I receive on a daily basis. The chocolate recipes which are included in the book are a nice addition.

This is a fantastic book! My son is 11 and we use this book for a morning devotional before school. It takes about three minutes. He reads the Bible verse from the Bible (even though it is on the page, we save this option for when we are running so late that we have to do it in the car), then we read the email from God. The emails focus on one point and are great for kids as well as adults. This helps us focus on God before rushing off to school. We have been doing these as devotionals since elementary school. Kids could do it by themselves but I like to hear the message with my son and really encourage him to apply it in his day. I highly recommend this book.

P.C. and Mac are thrilled when Mac's dad invites them to join him on a business trip in Monaco, where he will be a speaker at the International Psychiatric Association Conference. They spend the beginning of their trip having fun: seeing the sites, relaxing on the beach, and eating at cafes. But their vacation fun is interrupted when Harriet Epstein-Hopper, who is also attending the conference, is murdered, apparently by a vicious serial killer known as Cyrano. Even though Mac's father warns them not to get involved, P.C. and Mac can't help themselves. Along with Juliette, the inspector's daughter, they determine to find out who really is responsible. Anyone who enjoyed the first two P.C. Hawke Mysteries is sure to like this one as well.

e-mail trouble: love and addiction @ the matrix, is a miraculous missive from the late S. Paige Baty. Part autobiography, part fiction, part theory, this book is unlike any other. I should note that I am not only a reader and reviewer of e-mail trouble, I am also a character: Sitting in a bar in Northern California, Paige and I began to write a comic book. Where previously we had played at being Maggie and Hopey of Love and Rockets, we re-invented ourselves as Dr. Rocket and Fly-bi-nightly in a world of our own. E-mail trouble is about trying to live, to love, to be in the world. The book is a love letter to Paige's many friends, but it is also an important theoretical work, one that draws on Camus as well as Foucault, on Kierkegaard and Norman O'Brown, Emerson and Pynchon, Louisa May Alcott and bell hooks, Kerouac and Plato. In addition to illuminating the work of past thinkers, she also sheds light on our tired and wired culture, the difficulty of inhabiting a female body, the importance of time and place, of communication and community. Paige was truly an original thinker, a gifted teacher, and one of the best writers I've ever read. Reading e-mail trouble made me laugh, cry and realize how much Paige is a part of me--and how wonderful that is. There is no one I know to whom I would not give this book, I can think of few gifts as great. Paige and I often spoke of addiction--we tried to define it, understand it, conquer it. It often seemed that we came to different conclusions, and we often pursued different paths, but we continued to talk, and to love. I miss my friend. This book is a posthumous present, a tangible reminder of Paige for those that knew her, but also a gift to those that never had the chance. I only wish that there were more picnics in the future.

An extremely simplistic level of explanation complete with graphics for young children as well as computer anxious adults!

This book changed my whole way of dealing with email in my professional life. It is THE style guide for email. I read almost everyday about companies and employees who are dealing with many legal, customer service, and management issues with regard to email... they should read this book! AND use it to train their employees! I can't say enough good things about this book and how it has helped me to be more efficient, use effective languange when composing email, and more importantly to know when it is better to just pick up the phone!

A good overview of the internet written in a straight-forward easy to read manner. The book starts by giving a brief description and history of the internet and includes a chapter of kid-friendly web-site addresses (and descriptions), the basics of determining whether a site is worthwhile or not, email and netiquette basics and some hints for parents. I would recommend this book for children AND adults who are interested in learning to use the Internet.
