first&Foremost anybody who writes negatively on Michael Jackson obvisiously don't know much about Music. He single handly changed the course of Music twice. He ruled the last century period. the Greatest Musical Figure of last century period. I get so tired of folks trying to downplay this Man's Musical legacy. nobody can deny the lasting impact he made. he truly is aone of a kind. he owes nobody nothing. this Book showcases all of his Motown through Epic Era material&does a Wonderful job. alot of books want to eat off his name,but they don't acknowledge that He opened the door for many. He could have retired after "off the wall&thriller" His Legacy would have been enshrined for always. I mean Michael Jackson is the "M" of MTV&for the Last Century he was the "M" of Music. ain't too many Artists that can boast or Brag that they have done what this Man has done Musically. 3 plus Decades. if you came out after MJ then you are in debt to Him Musically period. He changed the course of Music in all styles&vibes period. truly a One of a Kind Musical Genius&Force.this is a Must Have Book.

Michael Jackson The Solo Years is a one of a kind book. I would suggest this to all MJJ fans from all over. It not only lists every single album Michael has appeared on and starred on - from Motown and on, but it also has a list of every single he has released, songs un released through the years from Michael, a complete list of rare, wanted gems, discography, chartography, rare item pictures all through the book, all of Michael's amazing awards and MUCH MORE!!!!! The best part about this book: IT IS PURE MUSIC!!!! The authors themselves are true fans, and you'll find this out while reading it. MJJ The Solo Years is out now, and it is AMAZING!!!!
"A collectors dream," for all fans.

The hardback book "Michael Jackson: For The Record" is brilliant and vital for everyone!!! It reviews facts for every song currently known to have been recorded by the first one and only King Of Pop. This is THE type of book that should be done for every recording artist. I might have changed some of the format and or facts but it is also considered a "work in progress" as Michael Jackson is still recording more often than not and has hundreds of recordings from the past four decades that have YET to see the light of day (be released). Good things are yet to come in terms of unreleased songs (some of which are discussed throughout this book) but there are good things (recordings) out now and this book gives GREAT explainations as to the rhyme and reasoning as to the history of these tracks...and there are HUNDREDS of them covered with information in this book. I am VERY knowledgable of the recording industry from the past one hundred years and there is not one source that I know of or have EVER seen that has this information on Michael Jackson's craft that contains this much great information!!! GET THIS BOOK NOW!!!

i want to give a soulful Salute&warm Applause to the Greatness that is Chris Cadman&Craig HalStead. this Book is the truth. very in depth on MJ's work in the studio all the way back to 1967. this Book highlights pre Motown, Motown,CBS and then which became Sony Music. highlights MJ's work with the Jackson five, solo as a child&then at CBS as the Jacksons then Solo at Epic.very incredible and detailed. this is the Best Musical Book Written on the King of Pop to date period. I also would like to personally thank the writers for acknowledging myself&given me a thank you. i feel this is the Ultimate Book for the MJ fan around the world. fantastic&so insightful.

This book is a great learning tool! It "teaches" you about your own body, how it works and why you should care about what you eat, exercise, etc. The book is very well structured, with an objectives list at the beginning of each chapter and reasoning skills questions at the end, that helps you develop study and observation skills. This is a great book that changed the way I see my body, I learned a lot with this book!!

As a novice, I was looking for some information on how to tap into the new internet music technology. This book gave me the answers in simple and interesting language. I was able, without a technical background to log onto the net and find many more music sites than I ever thought possible. I have used Dummies books before and found them very useful. This book is no exception. I am also familiar with the author becuae I have been reading his articles in the Circuits section of The New York Times...He is very knowledgeable and readable.

This is darn near the best book I have ever read on this subject. It is jam packed with useful tips and treasures. After reading this book I came away feeling like an expert. I can't wait for the next book in this series. Wahoo!

Sellers and buyers on the Internet today have rarely ventured beyond the boundaries of print and broadcast metaphors in the Internet medium. While Internet uptake is dramatic, the business revolution has hardly begun. The real power of this new medium lies in its ability to allow the buyer and the seller to connect, communicate and negotiate in a faster, more efficient way. The dramatic rise and fall of "dot-com" companies was very much rooted in over extending the wrong metaphor, and that misconception largely continues.

In Net Benefits, Wingham Rowan has dared to think beyond the traditional broadcast metaphor and consider how marketplaces that exploit this new medium might operate. In their most highly developed state electronic marketplaces would act like the automated exchange behind international currency trading, or the automated exchange recently introduced to the Pacific Stock Exchange. These systems efficiently and impartially match buyers and sellers, and price becomes a function of current supply and demand. The revolution comes in their potential to replace the current marketing techniques designed to exploit the fragmented and inefficient matching of buyers and sellers inherent in paper and broadcast media.

This book forces us to question the attention paid to the recent dot-com model, the new Internet superstores, portals and the struggle for megamarkets. It suggests that perhaps these are just comfortable diversions along the way to the real revolution. Just as the Industrial Revolution grew out of the cottage industries so the new Interactive Revolution will grow from the seeds of atomized capitalism. The use of the web by small and local businesses for local and regional commerce will quietly undercut the current order of mega-merchants.

While the book considers detailed scenarios of how this revolution might impact a number of service areas, it stops short of perhaps the most profound impact, our concepts and opportunities for corporate ownership and investment in this new world. If you buy Rowan's view of the future, one wonders what will happen to a world of personal investment that relies on ever higher profits and stock values of large and growing corporations. Individual and small scale operations do not require the capital ownership or offer the individual growth potential of today's corporations. The stock portfolios of today may begin to look like the castles and estates during the last economic revolution as their ongoing value slips below their cost of maintenance. The dislocation would be as severe as the Industrial Revolution.

Whether the revolution takes the form of guaranteed electronic markets as Rowan envisions, or follows some other variant, is immaterial. The real electronic commerce revolution will be much more subtle in its approach and more devastating in its impact than anything we have seen so far. Net Benefits, at the very least, starts us thinking outside the traditional metaphors.

This is one hell of a vision. I read Small is Beautiful which was a great idea but not really workable in advanced countries. This guy seems to have worked out how to make "atomised capitalism" more efficient than what we think is going to happen with e-commerce. I can't stop thinking about it.

This is one of the best books on the market that easily and clearly explains the benefits and pitfalls of using the Internet as an organizing and advocacy tool. It includes case studies as well as recommended online resources for organizations. An absolute must both for activists and advocacy organizations.

Although it's a few years old, NetLaw still does a great job outlining the various legal issues that affect Internet users and service providers.

Although most people will use this book as a reference, I really enjoyed reading it from cover to cover. Having done so, it makes a great reference.

Really a great book. Mr Rose ability of writing in plain english without sacrifying the purity of legal language is unique. NetLaw is not an "how-to" book, but give reader a precise legal framework (that never become obsolete) of net-behavior main problems, useful both for professional and private people. We're waiting for the next edition, come on, Lance||

This book covers it all.

Since I didn't have a lot of experience, this was a great book to start out with. The author clearly knows his subject yet delivers it in simple step-by-step terms. My knowledge of the game and confidence in playing is due largely to this book. What is so great about this book is, as my skill increases, I am able to refer back to the book and grab more techniques and strategies to work with. No matter how seasoned you are this book will help boost your game.

This book was exactly what I was looking for. I have been playing on Full Tilt and Pokerstars for quite a while and couldn't seem to break into the next level. I bought this book hoping it would help me get into the money more often and it definitely delivered. The book quickly helped me identify some weaknesses in my playing strategies and some other interesting tricks. I now use a much stronger betting strategy, take advantage of position more and understand how to read other players much better. I now frequently mix up my play against other players and bet much wiser before and after the flop, turn and river... I definitely was giving away many of my chips play before reading this book. I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking to win more money from their Texas Hold Em poker play. It is a fun and easy read.
