Paul is awesome
Okay so i didn't read the book but I dated Paul in college and happen to know that he is one of the best writers on the planet no matter what he writes about :)

The Pain of Dreamweaver
This is definitely not a bad book, if used in conjunction with several others. The real estate site seems to work but lots...lots of steps are missing along the way. Apparently the author knows what he is doing but forgets that we don't, hence that's why we bought the book.

Good content, 'Horrible' instructor/author.

not for Mac users
I was really disappointed when I got this book.I opened it up and it was written exclusively for Windows users.:-( I wouldn't have ordered it had I known.

Additionally, the projects are not anything I will likely ever do and some of the step-by-step instructions are somewhat on the basic side and a real waste of space.(I already know how to fill a rectangular selection with colour.)Plus, the necessity of other third party softwares (which are also Windows exclusive) left me with nothing to gain from this book.

PHP? Look elsewhere ...
Not recommended for beginners, this book covers form-based database interaction.The examples cover only ASP and Cold Fusion, however, which was disappointing ...

I'm impressed!
I bought your book and I'm really impressed. The book is great. I'm learning things that I always want to do, but don't known how... Buy it, and you will see that is true. ... Read more

Product Description
For some years there has been growing dissatisfaction with litigation and arbitration as a means of settling construction disputes, and increasingly parties have been turning to adjudication and alternative dispute resolution (ADR).

This trend was given a major impetus by the introduction of the 1996 Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act and the Scheme for Construction Contracts, which resulted in statutory adjudication being introduced in most of the main building and engineering standard forms.

This book surveys the growth of ADR and looks in detail at the various methods:

* adjudication and expert determination
* mediation and conciliation
* dispute review boards and disputes advisers
* other forms, such as mini-trial and mediation-arbitration

It discusses the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act and the Scheme for Construction Contracts, and their effect on adjudication and construction contracts considering both procedural and legal issues. It looks in detail at the adjudication clauses of all the main building and engineering contracts. ... Read more

Product Description
The princess of Cambodia has to choose (donÂ’t we all) between a safe but boring life and a life of exciting risk. Aided by the splash of Ambrose the whale, she embarks on a quest which leads to encounters with a piratical whaling captain, a young sailor, a legion of miniature Vikings, an army of fighting squids, a great white whale (Moby Dick), and a war to liberate the Thrallbeggars (as the miniature Vikings are called) from being the snack food of the ocean, before she finds an answer. In all this, Ambrose is her indispensable friend.

Ambrose the Whale is filled with word play and humor. It is chiefly a parody of the conventional fairy story, at the same time that it is a story of dreams where wishes conquer reason, and yet remind us of common sense. What we desire – this story tells us - comes to us because we give in to dreams and seek the real behind them. We discover who we are through search. The princess in this amusing story of a dream world where nothing happens without meaning, remembers what she has known all along. She finds out what everyone wants to know – the person that she is. ... Read more

The Chalk Figues of England
From the cover flap:First published in 1987, this isa new edition, completely rewritten and freshly illustrated and incorporates radical new interpretations arising from the latest discoveries and researches.The flowing outlines of the Uffington White Horse, the phallic symbolism of the Cerne Giant, the austere Long Man of Wilmington and many other chalk hill-figures form some of Britain's best-known landmarks.As a uniquely British phenomenon, the thirty or so figures cut into the turf of southern England have excited antiquarians, archaeologists and the general pubic for generations.However, their origins are enigmatic.Newman shows how hill-figures reveal Britain's darkest past: Druid massacres, conjectured human sacrifice and strange phallic and pagan rites that in a miler form survive even today.Fascinating!

A Nice Overview of a Fascinating Subject
On a quiet village hillside in southern England lies one of the strangest and most facinating relics from Britain's mysterious past:the Cerne Giant.A club-wielding monument to political incorrectness, the Giantprovokes an endless series of questions:Who carved him...Romans, Celts? How old is he?Just who or what is he supposed to represent?What is hisconnection to other chalk drawings and monuments scattered across theEnglish countryside?

Each of these questions is addressed in "LostGods of Albion", an excellent overview of the mysterious chalkdrawings of Britain.Including the Giant (who graces the dust jacket inall of his unrestrained virility), the Uffington White Horse (as old asStonehenge and even more enigmatic)and many other ancient hillsidedrwaings, this book studies their history, meaning and relationship to oneanother.While the writing style can become a bit academic at times, thebook nevertheless provides a wonderful overview and introduction to thesubject.

By the way, if you're in Southern England, check out the CerneGiant in person.He's off the beaten path (about a two-hour drive fromStonehenge) but he makes for an intriguing sight.Just don't be shocked! ... Read more
