This is a wonderful series. The acting,scripts,and sound effects are excellent.It also has alot of emotion and heart which many of the other detective radio shows I've listened to lack. It's unique.It is plenty suspenseful too. The relationship between the main character Walker and Christa the dispatcher just adds another dimension to the show. Very Well Done.

This release from Durkin Hayes contains episodes from one of the best series ever presented on the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation radio service Mystery Project series. It involves the adventures and misadventures of Walker Devereaux, a 19 year old from small town Ontario who moves to Toronto to exercise his writng muse and can only get a job as a cabdriver on the midnight shift. He keeps getting involved in crimes or other messy human relationships over 24 episodes. The dialogue is uncontrived, the subplot of a shy, slow, romance with his sexy dispatcher is quite touching and the mysteries occur naturally enough so that you never question just how much crime this young man encounters. Great casting, great production values and great writing. I've been trying to track all the episodes down and this release assembles some of the best. It'll hook ya!

The form like Nokia expose their innovations, the form so simple of attracting the reader the simplicity of their designs makes of this book of necessary utility to understand the reasons for which the cellular telephony will dominate and it will be imposed in the short term market.

There is not much literature in the area of mobile user interface design. This book is not written completely by Christian Lindholm and Turkka Keinonen, though; this book has several authors from Nokia.

It is an exciting and good-looking book on the history and background of the extremely successful Nokia mobile phone design. It is very down-to-earth and visionary at the same time.

If you work in the area of user interface design for mobile devices, this is a must-read. There are many new ideas in this book and I learnt much from it.

I have been reading this book with my son, age 4, for a week. The book is not too long and it has really great photos in it. There are plenty of small snippets of information for reading so you can read a little on each page out loud without having to read it all. We checked it out from the library and I can't believe it is here in hardcover for five bucks. Truly worth the money.

I really liked this book. It told me all I really needed to know about Monster Jam and the Monster Trucks that raced in the rally's. The pictures really had action like the real thing. And you can trust me I've been in six of these events straight. It has eleven interviews of the Monster Trucks. It's like you are behind the wheel and you know exacly what your doing. From the kill switch to the gears you learn everything. The trucks 1,500 horsepower engines.

As someone that grew up listening to Paul Harvey on the radio it was pure bliss to find his "The Rest of the Story..." vignettes compiled and published.

Betch ya can't read just one!

I literally had to cover up the ending to each story with a piece of paper, so I wouldn't jump to find out who or what the story was about. I would recommend this book to everyone.

This is a very nice book and would recommend it for any one interested in the field of high-speed wireless data communications & Multiantennas Technology.

This book was extremely helpful to me. It is an in-depth treatment of the subject of high-speed wireless data communications.

The modern interpretations of several complicated subjects in communication theory make this book fairly unique. The connection with electromagnetics is also something I enjoyed.

I recommend this book.

Music Radio: The Great Performers and Programs of the 1920s through Early 1960s
By Jim Cox

Radio brought live entertainment into American homes; not only dramas and comedies, but also live music programs were beamed across the air waves during the Golden Age of Radio. Because of Radio, listeners could hear live music of every genre without ever leaving their homes.

Therefore, it is somewhat surprising that only a relatively few overview books have been written about the music programs of Radio's Golden Age. Old-Time Radio authority and author Jim Cox has helped rectify this oversight with the publication of MUSIC RADIO: The Great Performers and Programs of the 1920s through Early 1960s. In doing so, he has significantly increased our knowledge of broadcast music.

MUSIC RADIO covers the entire gamut of radio musical programming starting in the 1920s and continuing through the early 1960s. Classical, operatic, big band, jazz, country, western, gospel, sacred, pop, and semi-classical music forms are explored in the entertaining and informative style that is a trademark of Jim Cox volumes on American Old-Time Radio.

Jim has written comprehensive essays on ten major musical programs: The Bell Telephone Hour, The Bing Crosby Show, The Chamber Music Society of Lower Basin Street, Cities Service Concerts, The Fred Waring Show, Grand Ole Opry, The Kate Smith Show, The Railroad Hour, The Voice of Firestone, and Your Hit Parade. The treatment of each of these series includes considerable information on performers, writers, production personnel, sponsors, ratings, dates on the air, and time slots.

Additionally, he has provided chapters on The Big Bands, The Classics, The Contests, The Disc Jockeys, The Hummert Musicales, The Horse Operas, The House Bands, The Sacred Singers, and The Vocalists. These chapters provide significant insight into the origins and development of these music genres on the radio air waves. Also included is extensive information on many radio series in these various genres.

Throughout his book, the author provides extensive biographical and program credits information on more than 125 prominent performers and groups, conductors, producers, announcers, hosts, and disk jockeys from the Golden Age of Radio Broadcast Music. For example, The Vocalists chapter includes information on the signature and hits tunes, career highlights, and radio programs of The Andrews Sisters, Jack Berch, Eddie Cantor, Rosemary Clooney, Perry Como, Bob Crosby, Morton Downey, Eddie Fisher, Jane Froman, The Happiness Boys, Dick Haymes, Al Jolson, Peggy Lee, Curt Massey, Vaughn Monroe, Jane Pickens, Lanny Ross, Ginny Simms, Jack Smith, Jo Stafford, Mel Torme, Arthur Tracey, and Rudy Vallee.

Jim Cox is one of the most productive writers on the Golden Age of Radio. He has written entertainingly and authoritatively about Radio soap operas, audience participation shows, detective and police shows, the programs of Frank and Anne Hummert, and the final decade of the Golden Age of Radio. With his new book, MUSIC RADIO, Jim has added much to our knowledge of this important segment of Old-Time Radio.

MUSIC RADIO is a book well worth adding to your Old-Time Radio library.

Before the invention of 'talk radio' music was the cornerstone of radio programming - and Jim Cox's Music Radio: The Great Performers And Programs Of The 1920s Through Early 1960s documents the presence and importance of musical programming through all the genres and station focuses. Major series as well as artists are explored in detail, with many less-popular shows and performers included. Sections cover the classics, the disc jockeys who played the music and chose the sound, house bands, sacred singers, and much more. Each section provides a detailed historical overview, mention of major influences and personalities, and insights into music evolution from and influence on radio shows.

My Little Red Wagon celebrates the eightieth anniversary of the Radio Flyer Company, makers of the little red 'radio flyer' wagon which has attracted and entertained children for decades. Here owners of the wagons share stories and photos of their wagons, providing a lively survey of Radio Flyer experiences and lore.

This is a sweet book - no other word for it - that is bound to be a conversation-starter. What a great gift book! The illustrations are wonderful, and it is full of warm and wonderful recollections. Too bad it didn't tell about the Pasins' giant red American Flyer wagon - two stories high - that appears at Navy Pier in Chicago each September as a part of the Great American Wagon Pull, a child abuse prevention fun walk on behalf of Parents Care & Share of Illinois.

ESL teachers you don't know what you're missing. Students love this play, get excellent practice with pronunciation, and even become familiar with the Guy de Maupassant original. Lots of humor and a much more satisfying ending than the original.

If you look for something that converges network technology and digital audio generically, that's the only book that I know of that covers both subjects. Though it has some typos and errors, like a figure that's not shown totally, its content is still excellent! If you are an audio guy trying to understand networks basics, that's for you.

It's networks oriented, more than digital audio. It discusses how to implement a network to transmit digital audio over it.

If you are a newbie to networks, you can begin to understand how they work. I think you do not need a previous knowledge in networks to understand the book, though it could help. If you are a newbie to digital audio though, it doesn't cover the basics of it that deeply. Refer to some other book like "The Art of Digital Audio" by John Watkinson.

It still covers some standards like CobraNet, Soundweb, but be aware that there are others standards around not covered in this book.

If you want to get deeper into CobraNet protocol, look for Ballou's "Handbook for Sound Engineers", in Ch 39, by Ray Rayburn.

The author has enough knowledge to describe all concepts, from the basics to the more recent technologies available and in development. The text is very well written and easy to understand.

This is a collection of wonderful short reads. Quirky stories by a proper Bostonian in the best sense of the term. Written by a believer whose observations connect, magnify and radiate.

This book is a collection of Carl Scovel's radio sermons, and it is wonderful. Each essay is roughly 2 to 3 pages, and each is a treasure. I have carried the book in my briefcase on the train for the past month and read a few sermons every day. It is a truly great book.

I guess the greatest testimony is that I bought an additional five copies and gave them as Christmas presents. One essay describes a Christmas service in England that is both funny and thought provoking-I read it to my family on Christmas Eve.
