Awesome Book! Great value, great instructions
This book is one of the best internet books available.

The book is very well-organized, and walks you through how to test and what to test.

Further, the writing is easy and enjoyable to read.

One of the best books I've ever purchased.

More thorough than I was expecting
This book was much more thorough than I was expecting, which was a fantastic surprise. If you need a good practical resource for how to use Google Optimizer and also need hints about what to test, this book is perfect.

I read through it very quickly although I didn't apply all the exercises. I'm a web designer, so I already had a familiar ground with a lot of the stuff discussed and could imagine how much of the things would improve a website because a lot of theme are things I also apply to my own design work. However, there was still a lot of information that was new to me and I had never did testing with Google Optimizer before so that whole first section of the book talking about that was very important for me as well.

I would say, to get the most out of this book, you need to take time to go through all the questions and exercises in the second section of the book. There are a lot of really useful tips, but in order to thoroughly understand them, you really need to apply them and do some experimentation of your own in a live environment. As with anything you learn, you need to take the concepts and make them your own in order to master them and this is no different.

Just follow the idea
Even if you don't have time to read the entire book, the concept is amazing and refreshing to always be testing and improving!

Nice guide!
Nice guide to Google Website optimization. However, what's with the really badly rendered screenshots in the book? The screenshots must've been like only 96dpi or something cause it is really hard to view and relate back to the text. You would think that the editors would be sure the quality of the photos matched the quality of the text.

Don't start unless you are going to optimize your site while reading the book
I have to admit I got stuck in the middle of this book. I would not start this book unless you are actively optimizing your website, otherwise as it gets too technical for light reading. However, if you are doing an optimization of your site this book will be very valuable to you. I got bogged down with Part I, and advise you to skim it and go directly to Part II.

I'm going to skip past the sermon about how marketing and tech don't get along, because most of us have heard it before, so you can probably afford to skip it here as well. Secondly, a lot of Part I seemed like I would be able to figure it out just by using Google Online Optimizer, but you may enjoy the reference here. Once you get through the dozens of pages of the marketing vs. tech debate you will find the bit about Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs interesting so make sure you don't skip it. Finally, if you learn like I do from examples/case studies, you will find dozens of them in Part II of the book. Many of them even have great screen shots, great for visual learners like me.

Product Description
Dune collects, for the first time, the sand dunephotographs of both Edward and Brett Weston, two giant names in modernphotography. Previously, their remarkable dune photographs--dramaticabstractions of light and shadow and sensuous shape--were featured assamples in overview publications on the artists, just a picture hereand there. This lush volume brings together father and son in apersonal, unique fashion, showcasing the photographs each made in thesame locations. Adding depth is an original essay by Brett Weston'slongtime friend, traveling companion and biographer, John CharlesWoods. Woods' intimate, forthcoming narrative describes what it waslike to accompany the younger Weston into the dunes and what hishabits and personality were like. Charis Wilson, Edward Weston'sone-time wife, excerpts a passage from her acclaimed book ThroughAnother Lens, in which she tells of a 1936 trip she and her husbandmade to the dunes of Oceano, California. Also included arecorrespondence between father and son, and excerpts from EdwardWeston's daybooks.

Nothing can be transmitted to another unless an original problem hasbeen felt, conceived and solved: not a trivial problem of cleverdecoration or the personal ego, but the recording of the veryquintessence and interdependence of all life.--Edward Weston,from America and Photography, 1929

Super, but not perfect...
Lovely book with satin pages.Material a little samey in some respects but interesting (slight) contrast in styles neatly illustrated.Minimalist, a little text but I am glad I own it.Not a knockout, but enjoyable and a pleasure to own.Certainly opened my eyes and will be a valued part of my collection.

Magnificent Book!
Without doubt one of the most magnificent books related to photography ever published. The Westston's photgraphs are out of and well beyong the realm of "pictures"-- the treatment of the photographs and Kust Markus' text and treatment of the Weston's works reverantly rings true and honest, no pretentious drivel here!

Outstanding
What a terrific book on the 2 great masters of 20th century photography. A joy to read and the reproductions of the Dunes are some of the best I have seen in any book on EW or BW.Highly recommended for the collector of Westons and others.A real treasure and I keep on opening it to view such beautiful images. ...

Product Description
The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars.
The Age of Enlightenment profoundly enriched religious and philosophical understanding and continues to influence present-day thinking. Works collected here include masterpieces by David Hume, Immanuel Kant, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, as well as religious sermons and moral debates on the issues of the day, such as the slave trade. The Age of Reason saw conflict between Protestantism and Catholicism transformed into one between faith and logic -- a debate that continues in the twenty-first century.
