This is great for its intended use. Has all the info one needs to complete the class associated with it.

I received my book from R Cohen in good conditions, with the best price and very soon (actually before than I expected). I strongly recommend him.

Amazingly boring subject for me. Only got it because I had to. It is written well.

Cherri's book is well organized and provides all the basics needed to start researching your ancestors online. I spent a couple of hours with her book and my computer and was quite happy with the positive results I received in such a short amount of time. I was able to successfully research my great-grandmother's ancestors all the way back to the 1600's! It's a great book, easy to use and full of helpful tips.

Genealogy Basics Online: A Step-By-Step Guide To Searching And Finding Your Ancestors On The Internet is a superb introduction for the novice genealogist on using the Internet as a tool in their genealogical research. Cherri Flinn draws upon her considerable experience and expertise to review genealogical websites and offer practical, time-saving tips for searching them. There is even a virtual tour of courthouses and genealogy libraries around the country. Beginners are shown how they can even take genealogy lessons over the Internet! Genealogy Basics Online is an essential, core, "how to" reference title for personal and professional genealogy reference collections and training course reading lists.

I have always been interested in knowing where my ancestors came from. Before she died, my best source for family information was my grandmother. I bought Cherri Flinn's book and was able to trace my family back to 1589 in about 20 minutes! Her book has so many neat sources of information. I would highly recommend this as a reference book for anyone interested in genealogy research.

When I opened Cherri Flinn's book Genealogy Basics Online, I expected to find a well written, "how-to" book for the beginner or intermediate family historian. What I found instead, was a marvelous written book that should prove helpful to any family historian from beginner to seasoned veteran.

By her own admission, what sets this book apart is its simplicity. Genealogy Basics Online does gently guide the reader through the Internet and provides all the tools necessary for helping anyone succeed in finding family history information on the Internet.

I have been doing family history for twenty years and have used the Internet for the better part of the last ten years, yet I found something I could use the very first time I opened the book.

Cherri suggests "Keep this book by your computerand and refer to it often." How true. What she could have said was, "This may be the only "how-to" book you will ever need while working on Genealogy Online.

A wonderful book.

Read "The Retirement Nightmare" by Dr. Diane Armstrong. Get the real truth about the fraud and abuse of the elderly and not so elderly. To avoid a guardianship in the State of Florida, and other states, should be of paramount importance. Reports of guardians stealing from their wards' bank accounts and other wise abusing guardianship powers are surfacing with disturbing regularity. 'This problem is going to get bigger and bigger,' says E. Bentley Lipscomb, AARP's Florida state director and a former state secretary of elder affairs. - GUARDIANS DRAWING INCREASED SCRUTINY, AARP Bulletin.

I had bought this book as a gift for my mother-in-law (Gramma) and I loved it. I almost had to buy her another gift. I found it to be very informative. You do not have to a Grandma to read this book. I gave it to her and she loved it too! Thank you. PS

Grandma Online is Fabulous! Not only is it informative, but also highly entertaining. Ms. Shaputis' insite to the internet made me feel comfortable in an otherwise overwhelming world. I just bought 5 more copies to give to my favorite "grandma" friends. But please keep in mind, this book isn't just for grandmas. Everyone I know could use a copy. This one is a must have!

This book was outstanding, not only informative but entertaining as well. It will give the less computer savvy an easy tour through the internet. I great guide for anyone, but of special interest to grandparents, not only focusing on thier interests but on those of their grandchildren. It's a surefire way to bring generations together. A must buy for your parents or grandparents, and would make a great gift!

Tightly wound guide to little known super wines and super wine values.

Fresh, friendly, comfortable and intellectual presentation.

An actually useable and succinctly informative wine/winery reference in
a sea of wannabes.

This book is an excellent source for wonderful wines for the palette. Whether you are an existing wine connoisseur, or strive to become one, this book offers an astounding amount of valuable and fascinating information.

It is most helpful to recognize at the outset the rating system used by Fallis and Cohen and how they organized their book. Quality was first and foremost among the criteria for rating a wine. To test for quality, the "deductive taste process" was used which is also known as the systematic method. (The method is described in the beginning of the book.) This is the same method as used by the CIA (the Culinary Institute of America), the Institute of Masters of Wine, Food and the Arts, Copia, and countless other groups around the globe.

Internet availability was the secondary concern. The minimum requirement for Internet access was a website which listed contact information. Some sites use a mailing list and some use a shopping cart method similar to the one used here on Amazon.

The wines are listed beginning with the lightest white wines and going to the fullest, and then from the lightest red wines to the fullest. One might have expected the chardonnays and the cabernet sauvignon to be listed first but this method follows a typical restaurant wine list.

Boutique wineries used to depend upon the occasional traveler who found their way to the door of the winery. Most produce less than 5000 cases of winer per year. Direct shipping and the Internet have changed that. It used to be that wine was sold to a wholesaler and then to a retailer and then to a customer. Direct shipping allows wineries to ship directly to the customer and avoid added costs. Direct shipping is available in or out of 30 some odd states. One might want to have a look at pages 232 and 233.

Now one is ready to go wine surfing. Fallis and Cohen have shown the way describing wines from Santa Fe, Texas to St. Charles, Missouri, to Burdett, New York to... California... of course.

Here are some wines I can actually find and buy on line, reviewed by wine experts (a man and a woman). Found my new favorite wine, Pacific Ridge. An inexpensive book that will save you lots of time with gifts or your own wine enjoyment.

I couldn't improve upon the previous reviews - I agree with them all! Recently, I had the opportunity to give this book to several friends and family members as shower gifts. It was a huge hit! Every person made a point to tell me how special it was ... sometimes more than once. Apparently, their extended family members had come across the book and fallen in love with it, too. The usual comment was, "Wow! What a great book! Who gave it to you?" Needless to say, I was very pleased to know it was such a joy for all the new parents & families.

A note from the author: I'm hoping that this lovely, tender book touches and warms the heart of the reader. "I Know I am Loved" reminds all of us of those glorious moments of joy and discovery as we met our precious baby outside of the womb for the first time! This book is a pure celebration of the miracle of birth, and the outpouring of love from parents to baby. Keepsake pages in the back of the book allow parents to journal, add photos, and capture dear memories. Enjoy this beautiful keepsake book for yourself, or give it as a wonderful memento to celebrate life!
May our great God and Creator hold your families close as you cherish and nurture your precious children! Blessings from Dolores G. Mize

I am a first time expectant mom and I love this book! I am due in October and I have read this book a million times already. It makes me weepy in anticipation everytime! My husband and I are especially looking forward to writing out memories of the pregnancy and birth in the back. When I ordered the book, I also ordered an extra copy for a friend who is also expecting. It will make a wonderful shower gift. I highly recommend this book for anyone who is expecting or has already had a little bundle of joy!!

This book is a beautiful story about the first moments of a baby's life. It is written from the baby's perspective as they sense their new environment and meet their parents. The baby learns how much they are loved by their parents. It is filled with wonderful black and white photographs of newborns and they show the love parents have for their baby. There is one photo that almost makes you feel like you are holding the baby in the picture and the baby is looking straight into your eyes; it reminds me of when I held my own children. This book brings tears of joy to my wife every time she reads it. The last few pages offer a place to write some memories of the birth of your child, which your child would cherish as they too read this book in years to come. It would make a great gift to any parent, especially those that are expecting or just gave birth. Get several copies; you'll want to give this one to all the new parents you know.

Again Dr Rewald is preventing us about misunderstanding the environment, and how this human behavior could be lethal.I agree with him;and recommend the book to every openminded person whose interest is the humanity

On a basis of an evolutive and hystorical perspective, Immune Crossover raises some new and original hypothesis about immunity and autoimmunity. Written in simple words, even without being a specialist you will be able to understand it and to enjoy it. If you are a immunologist, you will realize that "I.C." is a good book for opening your mind.

Nowadays unifying the increasing number of disciplines could be the key to reveal the secrets of those aspects of nature which remain incomprehensible to us. Following this line and containing some very original hypothesis, this book is an attempt to board immunology from a different perspective, a perspective that turns to be attractive not only for the specialized immunologist, but for anyone interested in the subject.

No doubt that Immune Crossover II throws more light on the subject than the book from 1998

I have two non fiction books published. Alas, I discovered Shaun Fawcett book after my books were already in print. In it I found many things I had to learn the hard way. I have read many books on how to write books, some of them excellent, but they did not have this step by step approach plus a flowchart. I was dreaming of a book of this kind, with a fully developed step by step plan. Well this book exists. If you plan to be a non fiction writer this book will avoid you costly mistakes and will accelerate your path towards success. Also, it will enable you to become an author-entrepreneur of your own books. The key to it is the step by step plan. Buy it!

This truly is a comprehensive manual on how to write and publish an ebook, covering everything from font styles to obtaining copyright and ISBN numbers, marketing the final product (including affiliates), arranging for payment processing, and utilizing "Print On Demand." Unlike many books of this type, it doesn't sugar coat the task at hand, but rather offers practical advice ranging from how to obtain a professionally designed cover to overcoming the dreaded "writer's block." Finally, his critique of the traditional publishing model is the best I've ever read!

The concepts are valid and the instructions are good, but there are several references and internet tools which are no longer available or are simply outdated. This book is dated (copyrighted) 2004, and four years in the online world is a verrrry long time. It wouldn't take much to revise this book and bring it up to date, but the author hasn't seen fit to do this, at least not yet. One has to know where to go to find current tools to substitute for the outdated ones. However, I think the overall value is still there.

This book does a great job of giving practical advice for the independent writer. It shows that getting a successful book is very do-able. It's free of fluff and extraneous information. Instead, it's focused on helping you get the book done and sold. Of particular interest to me was his advice to "Create your Sales Mini-Site" and "Create a free mini-course."

Enough said...the author is straight forward, frank and detail oriented.
Fantastic book for the serious e-businessman/e-businesswoman.

Ken Burke is a genius!! His Intelligent system is an icon in e-commerce today. The book focuses around a system Ken developed into an empire that became what we know as MarketLive. Read the book and you'll know the system. This book is a staple in the world of e-commerce. Read it!

Ken Burke's book shows that he really "gets it", which is clearly why his company has built a growing stable of recognizable, national clients who will attest to the success of his Company's MarketLive application, which is driven by the methodologies spelled out in this book. Ken is obviously a dynamic entrepreneur who is sharply focused on providing an e-commerce selling platform that will drive sales results - in the real world, not in theory. A great tool for any firm considering how to increase their online sales.

This book is an outstanding, comprehensive guide to online sales strategies. It is full of very practical, real-world strategies to increase conversion rates and average order size while reducing cart abandonment and customer service costs. There are lots of great examples about what works and what doesn't, and useful advice on how to keep your online customers happy and returning for more. Highly recommended!

Nice book for teachers to become more proficient in using the internet in their teaching activites. Features lots of internet activities for teachers and their students in a wide range of grades. This is the fun, easy, and practical way for teachers to find out more about the internet.

I used this as a text in my professional development courses. Everyone loved it.

I've reordered for all my courses next year. A must read!

We just reviewed 35 books for our inservice program and chose this one. We're buying one for every teacher in the town. It's perfect for beginners and advanced teachers learning the Net.

This book allowed me to work with the interent in many areas. I have been able to locate information I did not believe existed on-line. Williams explains things in easy to understand language and then walks you through the exercise. The glossary is also very helpful for the computer neophyte. The attached CD installs Adobe Acrobat Reader and explains its many uses. I found this particularly helpful in downloading material on-line. This book is a must for any person wanting to use the Internet effectively.

I had previously heard of Aaron A. when I read the online issue of Serenity Rose at his art website, so I recognized his art style as soon as I saw the girl on the cover.
Kimmie66 is a soft science-fiction story about a girl trying to solve a mystery concerning her best friend, Kimmie66, who has sent her a suicide note. Unfortunately, this is difficult since people now socialize through "lairs" or a hi-tech version of a MMORPG, complete with virtual reality goggles.
The characters are interesting, especially Kimmie66. The heroine may remind Aaron A. fans of Serenity Rose - almost similar dress style, mannerisms, etc. The topic of technology and virtual communities would also appeal to modern readers. The art mixes a crisp, cookie-cutter style similar to anime or Junko Mizuno, along with a sketchy, horror edge resembling the works of Jhonen Vasquez. My only complaint is that it is not very long. I would have liked to learn more of Kimmie66 and her life outside of the virutal one, and a few things as well.
For the price of 9.99, I would say its worth buying.

Art: A
Plot: A
Readability: A
Average score: A (worth buying)

The Minx line is supposed to be aimed at teen girls, but from what they tell me at Eide's Comics in Pittsburgh, a lot of books get picked up by regular comic book readers like myself -- older and male.

I picked up "kimmie66" by Aaron Alexovich a couple weeks back and only now got around to reading it. About halfway through, I caught on to what Aaron was up to and was astonished by where it was headed. The book is far more than one would expect for the Minx line or comic books in general. No, it's not as good as Straczynski's "Midnight Nation" or even "Spider-Man: Revelations" but I'd rank it as a "must read."

But Kimmie66 is not just another Minx comic. Sure, girls age 13 - 17 will like Kimmie66, but so will you! Sci-fi/fantasy/techno-goth/awesome! An intiguing story in a hugely new world, creative and brilliant art style with endearing character design.
Buy this comic.

This story will be enjoyed by anyone who has ever experienced a meaningful relationship online: friendship, romance, or even a deep 6 hour conversation with a complete stranger. If you are thirsting for a book that helps you understand the mindsets of the new world we live in, this is one of those books. It may be set in the future, but everything in this story directly applies to the present day.

It hits home with the world we now live in; where physical barriers are becoming less important; where corporations are organizing international employee training sessions in virtual worlds, and are recruiting in Second Life; a world where you have close friends internationally but have no clue who your next door neighbor is.

Information and technological advancement is happening so rapidly that what a person learns in their first year of college can become outdated by the time they graduate. This book captures the modern feeling of infinite access, infinite exploration, infinite creation. In a time when virtually anything is possible (pun intended), we need stories that target, capture, explore and encourage that feeling for all generations living here and now on our very, very small Earth.

The story itself is as old as time: it is the story of friendship, understanding, self-discovery and growing up. I would go so far as to say that I think parents might benefit from reading this book, to better understand the world their children are growing up in. And to simply enjoy the book itself; it is truly for all ages.
