New Perspectives on Microsoft Office Excel 2003, Comprehensive, Second Edition (New Perspectives (Paperback Course Technology.......2007-09-29
Good product. Just as it was described. I ordered this for my daughter for a college class that she is taking.
The best price anywhere........2007-09-26
This book is the same anywhere you go but it was the cheapest and when comes to school books, if can get deal then you should. I had no problems with delivery it was an easy process and got it in no time.
Item in perfect condition.......2007-02-17
This item was in perfect condition.. just as described. I am very satisfied with this item and with how the seller conducted this transaction.
great textbook for new and experienced users of Excel.......2007-02-14
Thsi book is great!, I'm taking an Excel class this semester at college and needed the book. Great price and easy to understand for new and old users of Excel.
Used it in college course - EXCELLENT BOOK!.......2007-01-10
I'm taking Excel Spreadsheets in college this quarter. The book is clear, and easy to understand (even for those unfamiliar with using a computer, in my opinion).
One of the best parts is the great visual aids. Each tutorial gives color pictures of what you should be seeing on the screen of your computer while you work the tutorial. Sections within the chapter are also very well color organized and bolded for easy skimming if you are not new to the material.
Our teacher says that the book gets really advanced the farther on you read. Our basics & intermediate class only goes halfway through the book. The advanced excel class reads the second half, which teaches material on the level required by Microsoft in order to receive Microsoft Office Certification on the "expert" level.
On another note, Excel is an invaluable tool for personal use and in the work world.

Book Description
Drawing has recently experienced a renewal of importance in the art world; in fact, it has rarely been as widely represented in the biennials, art fairs, and exhibitions as it is now. Similar in concept, scope and structure to Phaidon's successful volume Vitamin P, Vitamin D presents, in A to Z order, the work of 109 artists who have emerged internationally since 1990 using the medium of drawing. Whether representational or abstract, small or large in scale, using only one line or rich in colors and pattern, drawings have a highly descriptive and meticulously detailed quality that is being explored by an increasing number of contemporary artists. Extending beyond the traditional image associated with this medium, Vitamin D hopes to illustrate the complexity, variety, and relevance of the practice of drawing today.
Customer Reviews:
Emperor's New Clothes.......2007-09-25
Anyone who would call this art is either lacking an objective sensibility or has some measure of vested interest in the sales of this book. The "drawings" (lol) in this book are fine examples of why mainstream Americans no longer care about the fine arts.
One reviewer actually used the word "refreshing" in describing the contents. Are you kidding me? Refreshing, perhaps, if I had only been exposed to blank pages my entire life.
This is not art. This is the Emperor's New Clothes.
On reproductions.......2007-06-07
Vitamin D is an outstanding publication of drawings from contemporary artists which shows great depth in both subjectivity and theme, the one overwhelming issue seems to be the quality of the reproductions within. Context gives us the reason for this.. in that these are works by CONTEMPORARY artists and as such have not been digitized as throughly as say the often if not OVER reproduced imagery of Leonardo or Michelangelo, so yes some of the reproductions are less stunning however they are more than adequate and what is more important, they are reproduced well enough to spark interest in seeing the original. Artwork can never truly be reproduced, you must experience the original to truly appreciate the pieces. However Vitamin D does what it was designed to, as did it's predecessor Vitamin P, giving a contemporary overview of works and the artists who create them which have yet to be studied. These books are history in the making and that alone gives them more merit than most art publications. This series is more than worth owning and will prove to be volumes you will return to again and again.
Great book!.......2007-04-03
If you are interested in a wide range of edgy drawings..this book is terrific. It is inspiring, informative and current...not a "how-to" but a survey of all the wonderful and strange drawings being done today.
Collectable.......2007-02-04
Vitamin D, is complete inside and out. The binding is terrific, the type, the torn paper edges, the layout, everything that went into designing this book was well thought out. Its not only fabulous, but a pleasure to look through. The artists chosen are all exceptionally talented, and each with a unique edge. Nevertheless, all work presented will be a definite point of reference for many many years to come, including the work by my own mentor,and teacher.
If you have any sort of an interest in art..........2006-11-12
Then you will absolutely fall in love with this book. This book is full of images from a wide range of media and artists. The short bios on the artists are short but informative and don't take up much space (more room for pictures). If you're something of an artist yourself then you can certainly pull lots of ideas from this book. I definitely am glad I bought this book.
Book Description
Responding to the extraordinary number of questions raised by recent cultural phenomena such as The Gospel of Judas and The Da Vinci Code, New York Times bestselling author Sylvia Browne brings readers the full story of the life of Jesus
New discoveries in archaeology and recent bestsellers and movies such as The Da Vinci Code and The Passion of the Christ have sparked a renaissance of the many controversies that have remained unanswered in Christianity and other religions. At the heart of these controversies is Jesus. With a unique perspective only Sylvia Browne could bring, The Mystical Life of Jesus is filled with the details of Jesus' inspiring life.
Including his birth, childhood, travels, ministry, miracles, crucifixion, death, and resurrection, she addresses all of the major controversies:
• Was there a virgin birth?
• Was there a Star of Bethlehem?
• What did he do for the first thirty years of his life?
• Was he married?
• Was he divine?
• Was it a miracle at Cana (and who was getting married)?
• Is there a Jesus lineage?
Using her unique relationship with her spirit guide and her years studying the controversial Gnostic texts, Sylvia answers all of these questions with a confidence and authority only someone who has visited the afterlife can have.
Customer Reviews:
I STRONGLY DISAGREE WITH MS. BROWNE'S CLAIMS..........2007-10-09
With all due respect to Ms. Sylvia Brownes' believers, I strongly disagree with her claim that Jesus survived the crucifixion and was nursed backed to health. I have strong faith in Jesus Christ's resurrection. I believe Jesus ascended and resurrected into Heaven after His death. Please have faith in the resurrection. . "FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, JESUS CHRIST, THAT WHOSOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM SHALL NOT PERISH BUT HAVE ETERNAL LIFE......." John 3:16... I believe that Jesus DIED to save us from our sins. I respect all the believers of Sylvia Brownes, but please let's have faith in Christianity's belief of Resurrection. I am not saying that she is not real because I have no right to judge someone, but I will always fight for my faith because I trust Jesus Christ with all my body, heart, mind and soul. The Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ is one of Christianity's foundation. I am not being narrow minded, I just have strong faith in Jesus. For the people who wants to know the truth , I recommend the following...
Armageddon, Oil and Terror: What the Bible Says About the Future
End Times
Apocalypse and the End Times
Mysteries of the Universe: A Revolutionary Commentary on UFOs, Aliens, Angels, Pyramids, Bible Codes, Reincarnation, the Antichrist...
God Bless!!
Eye opening.......2007-10-03
I was looking for something like this for some time now. Like Sylvia,I was raised a Catholic but things not always made sense. This book was refreshing to me and those most deep into religion will find it controversial at some point or another. I love it.
Just what I was seeking.......2007-08-17
I decided recently that since I wanted to become more involved with the ascended master Jesus, i.e., invoking Him and seeking His advice, it would be a good idea to learn more about Him. I wasn't satisfied with Biblical accounts. This book was exactly what I was seeking. Sylvia Browne, with extensive research and the help of her guide, Francine (who will only impart the truth because spirit guides can only tell the truth) uncovers inconsistencies among the Gospels. She questions the accounts and draws conclusions based on logic. If you have ever wondered about Jesus' life between the ages of 12 and 30; wondered what really happened then; or seek to know the truth about Him, then this book is for you. It was an incredibly easy and fast read for this reader and this book was hard to put down.
This reader applauds Sylvia Browne for her courage and candor in writing this book and especially her guide, Francine. She also explains the birth story, the different approaches to Christianity (Pauline, Gnostic), the "miracles", the Passion Story (which blew this writer away), life AFTER Easter and the Apocalypse.
This reader's reactions to this book are: Wow! and Thank You For Shining A Light On The Truth. I highly recommend this book. Even though this book challenges commonly-held Christian beliefs, this reader feels that this information also enhances them.
The Real Life of Jesus.......2007-07-05
I just wanted to say "Thank you, Sylvia Brown!" for confirming so many things I believed to be true about Jesus. I loved the book and was so glad I came across it. I strongly believed he did not die on the cross but found that I still had some religously based misconceptions about his life, (that he was born into a poor family, that he was born in a stable, etc.) that I feel your book helped put into the proper perspective. It was a very affirming read for me, confirming so many things regarding his life and death that I somehow knew and felt were true. Very interesting and thought provoking. For those with an open mind this is the book to read if you're interested in knowing more about the life of Christ from an uncommon perspective.
Another point of view.......2007-07-01
She tells you what she knows and leaves it up to you. Psychic Sylvia Browne is GOOD! Of course Dan Brown's "The Da Vinci Code" got us started, this a the icing on the cake. Think for yourself. Read this book and see what you think.

Best Step By Step Book for Access 2003 Beginners.......2007-01-06
As a business application user I started studying Access 2003 using a book titled "Sams Teach Yourself Microsoft Office Access 2003 in 24 Hours"; by Alison Balter. That book has a more conceptual approach and I felt I was taking too long to learn the fundamental steps of how to build a database with limited previous exposure to Access 2003. This book was very user friendly with less geek-speak and more graphics to show you how to achieve your database objectives in Access 2003. If you complete the exercises and then the challenge problems at the end of each chapter you'll quickly be the Access 2003 expert in a business administration setting. I highly recommend it for business application users before any another text book on Access 2003!

Good book but, had some problems!.......2006-11-05
I gave this book a 3 star rating because; I had some problems with it.
Some of the problems I found were in:
Tutorial 5 on Frames, the lesson was too vague to apply to the teacher's assignment to do our own frameset.
Tutorial 6 on Forms, the lesson was so difficult to get through, my teacher needed to verify the code order using the teacher's version.
Even though parts of this book were helpful, I would search for other options.
Good Luck, Everyone.
Excellent Book for Novices - Hands On Learning.......2006-10-31
We used this textbook for our first Web Development Class at College and I found it to be very good. I liked doing the tutorials as I read the chapter, and the cases were challenging (but not impossible). The cases are well thought-out and utilize the basics learned in the chapter. It also builds on the previous knowledge. This book would also be appropriate for a high school student -- or anyone who wants to learn a the basics of HTML. I will note that some of the syntax and tags they use are deprecated, but it is pretty current in this fast paced cyber world.
Very good book for a start to learning Web Design.......2006-09-08
I found this book to be well written as a relative HTML novice and it was comprehensive enough (hence the title) in scope. I thought the projects and exercises were all well thought out. I especially appreciated that they gave a layout reference for all coding during the tutorials to make sure it was written and placed properly. They even gave a set of review-question answers keys at the end of each chapter which was useful for double checking your knowledge.
I would recommend this to anyone thinking of getting into Web Design.
Pretty good book.......2006-03-18
The tutorial sections were easy to follow, but the case problems were sometimes hard to understand.
Needed it for school.......2006-03-16
Not much to say, I needed this book for an HTML class that I am taking. That being said it is a good book for beginers, if one runs through the tutorials one should be able to build a web page.
Book Description
Part of the New Perspectives Series, this text teaches students HTML and XHTML using a simple text editor to create basic to complex Web sites. Advanced tutorials on DHTML help students to further their skills by learning and applying DHTML to make interactive features such as animated text, image rollovers, menus, and expandable outlines.
Customer Reviews:
Very good value.......2007-01-26
When I through the first few chapters, I liked the book already. First it emphasize that the book only covers coding on Notepad or other text editors. I think that is the best way to learn the language. It doesn't need any HTML editors to do the job. It describes the history of internet and its technologies in some of the chapters. It covers the javascript concepts clearly and shows how things are done, step by step. At the end of each chapter, there are some assignments to enhance understanding. There are hints on how these assignments should be done, step by step also. Sometimes even with the hints, they are not easy to perform, especially for DHTML/Javascript, in many cases, I have to go back to the chapter and re-examine the reasons for writing certain functions, when to call the functions and so forth. This book is suitable for beginners with no HTML knowledge and don't want to code with HTML editors. Thankfully, there are some appendices to the tags used for XHTML, and examined the browser compatibilities also. I print out these appendices to allow me to summarise the book and to carry along. As with most books, this book also contain some errors especially with the answers provided, but it is of little problem if you went through the book thoroughly, you can spot them quite easily. There is another book, "New perspectives on Javascript" by the same author which covers mostly Javascript is not so good value, as a lot of Javascript stuff in that book is already covered here. For more seasoned HTML coders, this book is not so suitable, but if you want to learn new ways of coding to comply with new XHTML standards, you should give this book a look.
Book Description
The Definitive Book on Photography Today;Featuring 121 Artists from Over 30 CountriesThe life of an artistic medium lies in the capricious nature of thecontemporary art market.Even the heavy-hitters - painting, sculpture anddrawing - have fallen victim to this ebb and flow; declared dead onemoment, only to be resurrected the next. Now it is photography's turn tocontemplate its fate atop this precarious fence.Does it fall backward andplay into the taunts that call photography an "obsolete" medium, sostretched and manipulated by its collaborations with other practices thatit is rendered indefinable?Or, inspired by globalization, does it jumpforward into distinction, with practitioners resuscitating the traditionalform of the documentary image?VITAMIN Ph: NEW PERSPECTIVES IN PHOTOGRAPHY, with an introduction by TJDemos, is the definitive book on photography in the contemporary art worldtoday.VITAMIN Ph is a global survey of new developments in the medium ofphotography, featuring 121 living artists who have made a contribution tothe international art photography scene in the last five years. VITAMIN Ph presents a stunning collection of 500 images, the magnitude anddiversity of which illustrates the integral developments in photography -the dispersal of the medium on the one hand and the reinvention ofdocumentary representation on the other - that have recalibrated the mediumin the age of globalization. The artists were nominated by 78 of theworld's top critics, curators and fellow artists such as: Vince Aletti,Christine Macel, Martin Parr, Sandra Philips, Mark Godfrey, Tod Papageorge,Tim Griffin, Jack Persekian, Richard Flood, Donna De Salvo, Katy Seigel,Richard Prince and Sarah Lewis. VITAMIN Ph features an introduction by TJ Demos, Lecturer in Art History atUniversity College London, member of Art Journal's editorial board andcontributor to ArtForum.Demos offers a critical account of photography asa medium driven by two things - the reinvention of documentary practice andphotography's fragmentation as a medium - and inspired by the historicalcircumstances of our current era.He explores the impact of technologicaladvances, geographic mobility, and the decline in national sovereignty onphotography today.Demos theorizes that photography, through its growingdiversity, illustrates the many ways that we are different, helps us tounderstand those differences, and connects us to a global world.The 121 artists selected represent over 30 countries including, Morocco,Russia, South Africa, Israel, South Korea, Greece, Mexico, Palestine, andthe United States. There is an ocean of talent: established artists, recentcrossovers to the medium, and artists who are just making their mark on theart scene.Some highlights from the book include:*The work of established artists Tacita Dean and Anri Sala and themore emerging, Miriam B+ckstr+m and Markus Schinwald, display theinfluence of a trained camera-eye.These artists have made a foray intophotography that is built upon the elements of video: storytelling,framing, and the importance of place and time. Schinwald, who's artisticstudies began in fashion design, explores strategies of theatrical gesturewith a polished cinematic style *The performance artist, Tim Lee, uses the medium to stage complexrelationships between iconic artworks, canonical moments of popular cultureand issues of racial identity.His image, The Jerk, Carl Reiner, 1979(2004), illustrates a duality in meaning, one with complex culturalundertones as well as full frontal absurdity.*The Russian collaborate AES+F, the Israeli artist Emily Jacir and theemerging artists Ahlam Shibli and An-My L+ create works inspired by thepolitics of their respective cultures, as they exist in today's society. Le, a political refugee from Vietnam, became involved in a Vietnam Warre-enactor group in South Carolina in which she participated and tookphotographs of Vietnam battles restaged on her newly adopted American soil. Under the guise of photojournalism, Le documents the actors on theirhistorical stage, achieving a look that is both rigorously aesthetic andconceptual, almost dream like. *Inspired by a decade of belly dancing, Elinor Carucci photographs thelives of belly dancers taken in the years following Carucci's move from herhometown of Jerusalem to New York.Seen alongside images of Carucciherself, this series addresses the divisions between public and privateselves, celebrating the moments of preparation and repose as much as thosefilled with glamour and noise. *Drawing from his own experience as a drug addict Gareth McConnell'smost recent series is filled with a palpable loneliness.In Night Flower#43, for example, the stark contrast of delicate pink petals that seem tofade into a dark void cause the viewer to rethink issues of time,permanence, abandon and hope.In VITAMIN Ph, the featured artists are presented in A to Z order.Foreach artist, approximately five selections of work are reproduced alongsidetext by a critic who is a specialist on the artist's career.The surveyscover the artists' careers to date and explain the methods and subjectmatter featured in recent works.Whether the style is documentary, deadpan, abstract, or portraiture; nomatter that the artists are sculptors, video artists, painters, andphotography has become a vital part of contemporary art.VITAMIN Ph is theonly book of its kind to illustrate the up-to-the-minute complexity,variety and global spectrum of photography today.The book follows the similar concept, scope and structure to Phaidon'ssuccessful volumes Vitamin P (2002), for painting, and Vitamin D (2005),for drawing.

An impeccably-made survey of contemporary photography........2007-08-31
This is a wonderful book. I bought it truly as a "vitamin", to give myself a kick in the pants regarding my own photography: to find some sources of inspiration that were more up-to-date than my usual heroes (Minor White, Cartier-Bresson, etc). It served that purpose admirably. The artists and photographs are carefully chosen, and the essays are well-written. Some of the essays are even in English rather than art-speak. There is an incredible range of styles represented here, encompassing both conceptually-driven and aesthetically-driven art. Because of the large size and beautiful paper and production, this book is a tactile and visual treat that would make a great gift for any photographer on one's holiday list.
An overview of photography.......2007-07-11
It's big, it's well produced and it's a worthy addition to a photo book collection. Phaidon is a great publisher and the production values of this book are up to their usual high standards. The concept of "New Perspectives in Photography" is an ambitious topic, given the broad variety of art photography practice around the world. If you could sum up the main trend, it would have to be the movement away from the photo document and towards a conceptual exploration of the photographic object as it relates to the human experience. It is not photography, it is photographic.
Much of the work is relatively new, made in the past ten years and is representative of that shown by a certain kind of photography gallery -- one looking forward, yet rooted in the past. That said, much of the work references earlier photographs. Artists such as Gregory Crewdson and Anne Hardy create narrative, staged environments that the photograph documents, yet they look back to work from the 80's by Sandy Skoglund. Nikki Lee's work with her personal identity clearly references earlier work by Cindy Sherman. Tim Lee uses the photograph as a document of his conceptual work, a traditional way to preserve performance and conceptual art. However, there are some valuable new perspectives.
Rinko Kawauchi's beautiful photographs of life's ephemeral moments indeed provide a new, thoughtful perspective -- her book "the eyes, the ears" is worth searching out (sorry, not available on Amazon, I found my copy in Tokyo). Esteban Pastorino Diaz challenges our understanding of visual devices and the way they form our perspective of the world. And Paul Pfeiffer uses a database filtering model to create meaning from a photographic practice based on images appropriated from popular media. Clearly, innovation is limited only by the imagination.
The challenge with this type of overview is that it is almost too wide ranging and lacks depth -- it is without a singular point of view. It mostly covers artists who are already "established" in the gallery and museum circuit, which means you will be about five years behind the state of the art. The latest, newest work is found on the Internet, but only to those with the time, desire and domain knowledge to seek it out.
While you may pick it up once or twice, it is most valuable as a point of departure for further exploration of individual artists. As the other reviewers from New Zealand mentioned, it will probably be most valuable to readers without access to contemporary art galleries.
A great glimpse at contemporary photography.......2007-04-01
This book provides a short sample of each artists work along with an explanation about the artist or the works.
It is fantastic as a student tool to have such a range of works at your fingertips. It is also great for those just looking as the content is broad and dynamic.
I have yet to come across a book that has such a large number of contemporary photographers along with a range of their work (rather than a single iimage job).
New Zealand Artist.......2007-01-19
Having already purchased Vitamin D and Vitamin P I was expecting great things of Vitamin Ph. I was not disappointed. This book is beautifully presented. The Artists work chosen for this book are all of a high standard. Living in NZ you are a long way away from the International art scene. The only way to find out what is happening is from books such as this.
Book Description
Entrepreneurship texts may, understandably, be viewed with some suspicion, as being nothing more than common sense dressed-up, and nothing unique or innovative. But Baron and Shane have attempted something new. Baron and Shane focus on the entrepreneurial process as it moves through several distinct phases: (1) generating ideas and recognizing opportunities, (2) assembling resources, (3) launching the new venture, (4) building success, and (5) harvesting the rewards. At each stage, they analyze these processes along three dimensions, examining individual, group, and societal contexts. Accessible and rich in examples, Baron and Shane gain the upper hand by fusing concepts, theory, and research with the supporting pedagogy.

Decent tutorials.......2007-10-06
The tutorials in the book are written well, but the exercises are just too confusing! They want you to take everything from previous chapters and incorporate it to write new code. They expect you to build new ideas based of what you just reviewed. The case exercises do not follow the tutorial. I find this extremely difficult for beginners and time consuming.
