Hunt Books

From now on, all events in my life will be judged by a single reference point...Those that occured before I read this book and those that occured after.

A fascinating look at the sometimes complicated world of Policy and politics, this book is a must read for all who wish to expand their knowledge in this area. I do not believe that a book as comprehensive or wonderful as this has ever been produced before. Dometrius and Somma are truly at the top of their field.

The Politics of Bones is a fantastic read. Tim Hunt masterfully tells the story of the struggle of two brothers, their family and their countrymen in a battle against a corrupt government and an oil company ignoring the destruction of the Nigerian environment. You'll be outraged by the forces encountered by these two great men, yet inspired by the courage of the brothers Ken and Owens. This story will open your eyes to a tragedy that has been ignored for too long.

This book packs a wallop: it a heart-racing, eye-opening account of corruption, bravery, and the restless search for justice. The tale of two true modern day heroes who are brothers; the book will keep you engrossed, outraged, and ultimately, enlightened. Hunt expertly tells his tale with intelligence, anger and lyricism. The book will change your understanding of the world in which you live.

This book is one of the best & unique one on the Subject, I have never seen any book which cover lots on this particular subject.

Although this title is now a bit dated, it is still an exceptionally good capacitor engineering reference book. It covers capacitor theory, film capacitor construction and design techqiques, and special considerations for high voltage capacitors. However, a number of other capacitor technologies, including ceramic or electrolytic capacitors are not covered at all.

The book extensively covers the application of film capacitors in the areas of utility power factor correction, switchgear, welding, electric arc furnaces, induction heating, EHV power transmission, and many other power related areas. Special applications and associated capacitor construction techniques are also covered including Marx generator, CVT, high energy discharge, and low inductance capacitor banks for pulsed power appplications.

The book is an excellent reference book for the electrical power, pulsed power, or high voltage engineer.

I found this book to be very educational and presented where even the common foe could read. As an Independent Consultant and working in many of today's top Corporations, this book is what Managers to top Executives should read if they need to know how to strategically plan their businesses. I like the way this book explains the how's, the whys and more important the benefits to planning and aligning the businesses.

The author provides a wonderful and easy to understand "how to" treatment of the intergration of technology and business systems. If you're looking to create a workable plan to implement novel and money-making business ideas using technology, this book is a must read. There are a lot of charts, grids, and graphics to help the visual learner.

This has helped me to understand CRISS before I start my own classroom and am eligible to take the courses through my school. I love the philosophies of CRISS!

The CRISS book arrived in perfect condition and saved me a lot of money!

This book contains instructions for making just about every imaginable type of puppet: cloth hand puppets, finger puppets, glove puppets, paper bag puppets, cup puppets, stick puppets. . . It has patterns for making a story apron, including instructions for creating scenery on the apron. It also has suggestions for puppets to go with specific children's books, poems, or songs. There are puppet making activities for children that are appropriate throughout the elementary years. It's full of photographs and amusing illustrations.

This book is a great resource for anyone who works with young children and wants to introduce puppetry into the classroom.
Super ideas! Pictures and graphics add a lot. I had the privilege of studying with Tamara Hunt and she is incredible.

This is an excellent tool for instructional leaders who would like to reshape or enhance the culture of their schools. I strongly suggest taking a look at this book!

As a reading teacher I found this book to be very helpful in teaching strategies such as comprehension, vocabulary, fluency. . . BUT I think that this book is MUCH more VALUABLE to a content teacher. It shows you how to introduce reading skills for text books. Often, content teachers do not know why a student isn't succeeding in his/her class. Often it is because the student cannot read the text book. This book will show you how to introduce strategies so that your students will do well in your class! This is for ALL secondary teachers!

How do you help students read and comprehend the extensive content presented in text books? Buy this book!! The authors have compiled an outstanding collection of research-based strategies organized in a clear, straightforward format. You'll find useful strategies for teaching Math, Science, Social Studies, and English using content area examples, technology links and tips, and reproducible classroom resources. Chapters include student lessons on: Building Vocabulary, Comprehending Text, Supporting Struggling Readers, Reading Critically, Study Skills, Test Preparation, and Conducting Research. This book was designed as a practical textbook for teachers that could actually be used in the classroom after the class was over. It is a rare combination of simplicity and depth. Reading & Learning Strategies will be extremely helpful for new teachers, experienced teachers, and even for parents who are home schooling or assisting their child with difficult content material.

I received it in a timely manner. The book was in great condition.

I have read so many books about relationships and by far the manual "Getting the Love you Want" and this workbook, are the best!

In my opinion, this is the best book on color photography that I have read. Of course, it covers other topics, but it devotes a substantial amount of text, graphs and formulas to that topic. In recent months, I have acquired a fair number of books on the subject of photography and color theory, some of them very formula-intensive and some descriptive and math-primitive; but this one stands head and shoulder above the rest in its effort to describe the fundamental principles.

I bought this book primarily because I wanted to learn whether it is possible, and if it is, how to predict the RGB density values of negative film versus the CYM density of the photo enlarging filter. I believe that I have found my answers in this book. Yet I was also quite pleasantly surprised to learn a lot more about color photography and reproduction. As I was reading this book, many things to which I had had unanswered questions from reading those other books have fallen in their logical place.

I would highly recommend this book for anyone interested in color photography and who wants to learn not only the practical aspects of it (i.e. the result and the practice) but also the "why" of it (i.e. its scientific and experimental fundamentals). You do, though, have to have some knowledge of linear algebra and chemistry, although I would not call this book math-intensive.

The author has an impressive array of initials after his name; he is, amongst other things, a Doctor of Science, a Member of the Imperial College, an Associate of the Royal College of Science, and a Fellow of the Royal Photographic Society as well as a Visiting Professor of Physiological Optics and of Colour Science, and a former Assistant Director of Research at Kodak. He has also been Chairman of the Colorimetry Committee of the International Commision on Illumination, and Chairman of the International Colour Association.

First published in 1957 and now in its much enhanced 5th edition, The Reproduction of Colour is the most comprehensive single resource available. Two quotes from the preface to the 5th edition describe what it is about:

"The object (is to present) the fundamental principles of colour reproduction, whether by photography, television, or printing in the hopes that all those engaged in producing, selling, buying, or using colour pictures will be able to see the nature of the problems they encounter. Those who want a general statement on colour reproduction will find it in the first part, and those who want a more detailed discussion of any one application in which they are particularly interested (will find it) in the later parts." and "The reproduction of colour involves physiology, psychology, physics, chemistry, and technology. presents complexities, (and) involves a wide variety of enterprises". Even though there are individuals skilled in processing and printing their own color film, and DTP bureaux had taken over some of the work of traditional printing houses, color reproduction was, until not so long ago, the province of technicians in the photographic, printing, and television industries, Now we have crossed the threshold of a new era in which a massive technology transfer is taking place, putting effective control over color into the hands of a much wider range of users. Even home users now have available to them very powerful tools that enable production of images that are, to the ordinary eye, indistinguishable from quality photographic prints.

That brings with it a need to understand the technology of color reproduction, and the definitive text is Dr Hunt's book. I have rated it 10/10 because of the remarkably wide range of disciplines covered and its astounding technical depth. Without it most of the information presented would have to be gleaned from numerous other books, professional journals, and published papers. Further, one does not have to have a scientific background to gain some understanding of what is involved in the reproduction of color. The fields covered television, photography, and printing are becoming less discrete with the application of digital technology; those who use computerized systems for the reproduction of color images will find relevant information spread throughout most parts of this book.

It is not a popular account, a color-for-cretins guide, or a how-to manual. This is a technical resource written in a style that makes it readable without diluting its professional integrity. Not all readers will need, or even want, to know the chemical structure of cyclic methylene magneta couplers, but may want information about the effects of signal processing on color reproduction. In what other recently published text would one find a comparison table of film speeds that includes the Weston system?

The Reproduction of Colour should be in any library with holdings on technical subjects; professionals in DTP, printing, photolabs, television, and digital imaging should have it; and anyone teaching or studying graphic arts, computer science, photography, printing, or subjects related to television technology should be aware of this edition. A check of some large libraries suggests that librarians may think earlier editions are good enough, but new developments demand this latest edition. Teachers of science in sub-tertiary institutions may well find this a useful text for its practical application of science to topical real-life problems.

The book is divided into parts: Fundamentals, Color Photography, Color Television, Color Printing, and Evaluating Color Appearance. Each chapter opens with an introduction that provides a succinct overview of the topic. Reviewed by Major Keary [majkeary@netspace.net.au]
