Title: A boring history book
Review: I am a historian specializing Chinese history. I am very disappointed by the author's work. Comparing to Jonathan Spence's books and Ray Huang's book on Ming history, this book is very boring and lack of deepness. The author has made a great effort to gather a lot of details but they are so fragmental. The author fails to contextualize Yongle and his time, making Yongle so isolated in the Ming history. Those long citations easily put readers into sleep. As an academic book, it lacks a special perspective and has no argument. As a text book, it's hard to attract students because there is no story.

Title: Good flavor, great with Mexican dishes
Review: El Yucateco makes a bangin' sauce. It's fairly thick and sticks well to food (not too runny). It's sweet, and it's got a little bit of kick to it. I'd give it a 4/10 for heat, a 7 or 8 for flavor.My only issue is that it only tastes good on Mexican food. I've tried it on pizza and eggs (staple hot sauce foods for me) and I was left disappointed. But on a taco? This hits the spot.

Title: No technical details, bias suggestions, too much text
Review: I am disappointed about this book mainly because (1) there is no technical discussion about the setup of storefront and payment gateway (2) the authors recommend advertiser's services...kind of bias (3) it does not cover all the latest technologies, despite the fact that it's published in Sep 1999! (4) there is too much unnecessary text with repetitive info and most importantly (5) I still don't know how to set up an e-commerce solution on a dedicated hosting platform, after reading this 394 pages book in a week. If you are reading Business 2.0 or Inter@active week already, don't buy this book. However, if you are new to e-com and want to get a quick grasp of the major components, this book may help you.

Title: Not a thrilling novel
Review: The inside flap purports that a "devastating secret" is uncovered and when I finished the novel I still couldn't figure out what the horrid secret was. It was simply a story about a love affair brought together and torn apart by music. It's a quick read, but I found the dialogue to be clunky. I felt that Lydia (the student/lover)did not receive enough attention. I think there were characters in the novel that were close to her, other than Bernard (the music teacher)who could have been used more to illuminate Lydia's strange actions.

Title: Where have all the editors gone?
Review: I give this two stars instead of one so as not to have the devastating effect an unfavorable review in the story has. Just kidding; actually I give it three stars for content, one star for execution. Yes, as several of the reviews here state, the dialogue just doesn't come off. It IS "clunky"; it IS stilted. Everything about the book seems amateurish. On the other hand, this is a first novel, and its author is professionally a musician, not a writer. You have to start somewhere. I think the real problem is that this book needed to be refashioned in collaboration with an experienced, talented editor, and nowadays money-games-playing stockholders consider editors an expense corporate publishing companies can do without. In any case, I read it in one sitting, and overall I enjoyed it.

Title: exactly what the doctor ordered
Review: Having made my first MFC applictions and then immediately run into a brick wall as SOON as I wanted to do anything apart from fill in the TODO: sections I was desperate. Eugene's book is outstanding giving you practical tips for doing all the things you really want to do with MFC. At the same time the tips manage to expose the working of the beast so now I have a much clearer understanding of how MFC actually works without having to read a pure how-mfc-works book (although I've read a few of those too). If you use MFC, or tried to use it and got fed up, if you think that it's too hard to write decent apps. with MFC and are firing up VB, go buy this book and dip in every time you have a question. I hated MFC, now I love it! The layout of the book is perfect, it's pretty much its own index and cross referenced all over the place. Eugene - write more books like this please.

Title: Great for the working programmer interested in productivity
Review: While The MFC Answer Book is not a beginning MFC book, it is not an advanced level book either. If you know how to get Class Wizard to generate a message handler, you will be fine with this book. It is perfect for the working programmer who needs answers, not theory. Yet there is theory too - the theory that goes with the specific answer. I have put The MFC Answer Book on my bookshelf within easy reach. It is a great book.

Title: Really has very few answers
Review: Based upon 49 reviews, this book has a 5-star rating. Amazing!!! I have a dozen or so MFC books, and this one is one of the most useless to me. A book such as this ("The MFC Answer Book") should be a good reference book. But each time I've looked for an answer to a question, it's not in the book (yesturday, I wanted to look up CString details but there's nothing in there on CStings). The print in this book is LARGE, so the actual amount of content in the book is low.END

Title: I'm new to MFC, I've been using it as a reference every week
Review: As someone new to MFC, I find that the book is the perfect format to allow me to look up a topic within MFC that I would like to implement, but one in which I do not have any experience yet. I've already saved hours by using the information in chapters 5 (Property Sheets) and 6 (Toolbars and Status Bars). My only hope is that there is a 2nd edition that would add more chapters to answer questions concerning topics such as sockets, multi-threading, databases, etc. It would also be great if Mr. Kain could cover examples of how you add functionality to a project that did not include the functionality when the project was created (ex: database support to a project that was created without database support).

Title: 2 and 4 year olds love Mr. Rogers
Review: My 2 and 4 year olds love Mr. Rogers. The four year old is very focused on where he goes and what he is teaching, whether it is feeling, manners, or making music. The two year old's first comment after watching one of the shows, was "again". She talks to the screen and waives goodbye at the end of the show. I'm just glad my kids have the chance to learn that they are special too, just like my brothers and sisters did.

Title: A Great Introduction to the Amazing Career of the Big E!
Review: This is an excellent book on the first aircraft carrier Enterprise. The Big E was the most decorated ship of World War II and had a charmed life. She fought in nearly all of the major naval battles in the Pacific and was awarded 20 battle stars by the government. The Enterprise was also the ONLY carrier operating in the Pacific for a time during the war. This book has good photos and the information is detailed, without being overwhelming for a basic book. (It is really an introduction to the subject and left me wanting more.) The cost of the book is quite low for so much content. The author brings across his love of the Enterprise and makes you cringe when plans to preserve the ship as a museum fall apart and the ship is scrapped.

Title: Perfect! Great Deal!
Review: Fabulous for providing extra outer wrapping/padding to wounds - it definitely helps to keep the under-wrapping clean. I had a hand injury with many stitches, and I would use this wrapping over my primary under-wrapping. I inevitably spilled coffee and stuff on myself, so this over-wrapping was able to catch all of that and protect the more expensive stuff underneath. It's a great deal with a bunch in one box, so you can just go back and replace with a fresh one. It's great!

Title: Absolute must for all English Civil War enthusiasts.
Review: What this publication seeks to do is inform the reader of the Typical arms and armour of the period, how they were used, who made them, what they look like and what are their distintive features. the text is supported by a wide variety of photographs ,many black and white and 8 color,Buff coats patterns, Firearms Lock Types, Leather Guns, Cuirassier Armour, Harquebus Armour, Swords, Cavalry Firearms, Pikeman's Armour, for the Scottish Weapon Fans I have to say that they were omitted.This is the first book I bought from the Royal Armouries, fascinating to anyone interested in weapons and equipment of the 17th century Arms and Armour of the ECW armies. the book is only 99 pages but very concise, a very worthwhile volume to add to your library, an absolute must for all English Civil War enthusiasts, armour fans or weapons of the period.

Title: Instructions, none. Support, haven't found it.
Review: This may be a good product, it's hard to say. You receive the disk and some check paper. Then your on your own. There are help menues you can print out but no booklet, pamphlet, tutorial, guide or manual to follow through and learn. The help number on there website; not toll free. All I got from the four times I called was what sounded like a home answering machine. No one called me back, but if the had it would cost me 60 dollars to answer my question if it took more than 6o seconds on the phone. Pre-paid of course. What else can I say, if you have a similar program you may have a head start on using this check program. Either way, I don't suggest spending the cash on this one.

Title: Finale by Decree
Review: End of the trail "cowboys" have a searing edge in this downbeat story written by Arthur Miller. The opening score by Alex North gives the viewer the idea that this is not a comedy.It is Gable,s last film and Monroe,s last complete film. Clift would soon follow their fate also. If Gable had lived who knows what kind of mature roles he would had given. Gable was in that MGM contract for so long playing heroes and unreal people that we might forget what his possibilities could have been.The final reel has Roslyn( Monroe) saying to Gay( Gable) " How do you find your way home"? Gable says" You see that star ..pointing to the heavens through the windshield, you just follow it all the way home" ! Fade out..and thats just what both of them did.

Title: Boring
Review: This film didn't keep my attention at all. I truly think it has been over hyped because it was the last completed film for Gable and Monroe. It was not at all a film I would picture Marilyn Monroe in. That is probably exactly what she wanted, a film allowing her to go beyond and expand her acting credibility... I felt there was more chemistry between Clift & Monroe than Gable & Monroe; so the latter pair being the hook up didn't fly for me. Marilyn Monroe is my absolute favorite but this just wasn't for me. I regret buying it instead of just renting it, as I will never watch it again.

Title: James and Peggy Barton are great in this!
Review: James Barton and Peggy Barton are just fabulous in this film. I'm not sure if they're brother and sister, or brother and transvestite, but they're just wonderful. I'm not even quite sure who they are in the film, but they sure are terrific. Marilyn Monroe and Clark Gable are in the film too, it was the last film either of them made. And Thelma Ritter offers great support, and Montgomery Clift and Eli Wallach are excellent too. But I can see why Amazon stresses the contributions of the Bartons. Here's to them! (P.S. I'm joking of course. I just find it weird that Amazon's computer is clearly set up to list the actors alphabetically, and so weirdly "the Misfits" is said to star James Barton. Amazon seems to correct this alphabetical default in some of their listing. And Monroe, Gable, Wallach, clift and the wonderful Thelma Ritter are very memorable in this movie.)

Title: Interesting story, Great acting by Marilyn
Review: A somewhat unusual and sensitive story about the vulnerabilities and interplay of the three lead characters. Life has not been kind to all three of them, because of which they are kind of unhappy and disturbed inside. No point narrating the story here, that should be left for people to see.Excellent portrayal by M. Monroe - this film gives an idea on how capable an actress she was ! Great performances by Clark Gable(the horse-taming scene is memorable) and Montgomary Clift(the telephone scene comes to my mind) also. Everyone should see this film at least once - it's moving !

Title: The Final Film For Two Great Actors.
Review: Note: I just saw this film with XFinity On Demand.Noted for being the final film of screen legends Clark Gable (Best Actor, It Happened One Night) and Marilyn Monroe (Gentlemen Prefer Blondes), The Misfits is an interesting movie. I recommend it, mostly to view the (sadly) final performances of Clark Gable and Marilyn Monroe, though Tuco also turns in a good performance, as does Montgomery Clift. But the stars of the film are clearly Rhett Butler and Marilyn Monroe, who was a good actress in addition to being incredibly gorgeous.This film is Not Rated.

Title: This movie smells death!
Review: MY RATING- 7.7That's right, this mov smells death cause it looks really profetic of what would happen to Marylin, Monty and Gable. Gable doesn't look mature, he looks old and tired. I know that he insisted doing many of the stunt work, yet seeing him we believe why he died little time after. Marylin looks more from another world , the scene when she screams calling "murderers" is as if she was incriminating those who leaded her to suicide. Some fresh air comes from Monty, yet his pensive character is profetic how he would die few years later. In some few words, the title says all, it's about three misfits, that try find his place in the world.Psychological drama, that is overpassed by the master "Who's Afraid Of Virginia Wolf". Also nice cinematography, good directing by John Huston as well as excellent secondaries- Thelma Rhitter an Eli Wallach.

Title: Interesting film
Review: "The Misfits" boasts an all-star cast and an interesting, if unusual story. The script has a few holes in it, but the colorful characters keep you watching. The last scene of Marilyn and Gable looking up at the stars as they drive home is hypnotic and powerful. It caused me to remember that both of these legends never completed another film, and that neither lived much longer after the movie was finished.

Review: If you appreciate the old hollywood style of telling a story, this movie is worth watching. It examines the relationship and mores of the time through an observor's view. You aren't tied into the internal thoughts and emotions of the characters, except by what they reveal to everyone. Gable is good as always, not having lost his spark and appeal. Monroe shows the sorrow of a tough life and the rest of the cast carry their roles with conviction.

Title: Mission of the Messiah a Must Read for Year 2000
Review: Tim Gray's book opened my eyes to the importance of the Jubilee Year. Two friends have mentioned to me that they just weren't enthused about the Jubilee, it didn't really mean anything to them, and they hadn't done much preparing for it anyway. I knew just how they felt because I felt that way, too, before reading Mission of the Messiah. After reading it, I couldn't wait for the Jubilee Year to begin and I knew what I had to do to prepare for it. Now it is here and it isn't too late to prepare for it or understand it! Thanks to the author for helping me see it all through the eyes of the Gospel.

Title: Only good if you are incredibly out of shape!
Review: After my first two years in college, I wanted to lose some of the weight I had gained. This DVD was cheap and I needed to tighten up my arms so I bought it. All I can say is I did this about twice and now it's collecting dust. Like another reviewer said, it is boring and the instructor talks way too much. I'm really not used to working out a lot, especially my arms but I found this too easy and way too boring. They definitely could have cut out some of the talking and made it quicker. It would be good to do if you only have a couple minutes but the lengthiness of it due to unnessecary talking makes that impossible. For 35 minutes, I expect to get a more worthwhile workout.

Besides the boring workout the comments are really annoying, and I can't imagine myself to use this workout regularly. When I bought it, I thought a workout which concentrates on arms would be a nice workout to alternate with my others, but at least this one is really not worth the money.Though you can use more weight to make it challenging, it is really hard to stand it repeatedly.

Title: Short workout...mostly fluff.
Review: This is one of the worst workout videos I have ever used. The women look scary, the music is dull and the instructor's comments are unnecessary. The first time I used it, the comments were ok, but he spends more time explaining what exercise we're about to do than he does actually leading the exercise. When I've used the DVD again, I put it on mute and play my own music. The up-side is that the moves are very simple. Other than that, I'd definitely pass this one up.

Title: Not worth your time or your money.
Review: This dvd is boring and I found the host to be condescending. At most, this is a good starting point and is better than doing nothing at all. Perhaps doing this dvd will motivate you to find a better way to exercise. What I like the least about this video is that it does the least amount of workout on the underneath side of the arm; the part most women want to firm up. While I had the same idea as a previous reviewer in regards to pausing the dvd and doing 2 more rep's on my own, my second thought was 'why should I have to'? Why isn't this dvd made to be consistant, with 3 rep's for each segment. Poor editing, poor planning, and a really, really irritating host make this the least favorite workout dvd I've ever purchased. I would suggest spending your money on a dvd that is an all over body workout as you will get an even better workout for your body than this so called 'Sexy Arms' dvd can offer.

Title: only if you've NEVER held weights before in your life
Review: If you're absolutely just starting out with weights, then maybe this is an okay tape for you -- it's got the most basic, time-honored, humdrum freeweight exercise routine that exists. But if you've ever touched a weight in your life, then you're going to be bored to death with this, and the guy's got no imagination. But if you've never heard of a bicep curl before, then maybe you'll be okay with this one. You'll want to turn the volume down after a couple of tries, though -- the chatter is inane, and he just keeps talking!

Title: Good work out.. very talky
Review: It's hard to find a good arm workout on video/dvd and this is one of the best I've found. The guy talks entirely too much which is annoying but I fast forward over him between exercises. The set up is odd. He does 3 sets of shoulders 1 set of triceps and 2 sets of biceps. I only do 2 sets of shoulder and repeat the triceps to get 2 sets of those in too. The funniest part is that he has HUGE arms and he uses 5 pound weights. My arms are certainly tired afterwards and I am beginning to notice a difference.

Title: Good upper body basic.
Review: The video seems like a 1980's or 1990's video. However, it is a good upper body workout,a nice way to target your arms if you are supplementing at home for the gym. I would definitely suggest it.

Title: insufficient, boring, and eventually annoying
Review: I can do all the exercises here, with sufficient rests between them, plus a warm up and warm down, in 15 minutes. So what's the other 15 minutes of this 30 minute DVD? Um, the instructor blabbering on about nothing. The exercises are as basic as can be, you could do them without a DVD to follow because he doesn't switch things up at all to keep them interesting , and there isn't even any music to get into. This is the least useful exercise DVD I own -- I know that sounds really negative, but anything by Denise Austin or QuickFix would be a lot more interesting and a lot more creatively put together. You can find other DVDs with several different workouts on them so that you can rotate the routines, and for the same price. Keep looking and don't buy this one!

Title: Just Glorious
Review: Hey guys! I agree with Chris in that these are all the tops when it comes to comedy. In my opinion, though, Glorious is the best of Eddie's stuff even when compared to Dress to Kill. Eddie Izzard is to be experienced by everyone. This guy is hilarious!!! Don't hold back, buy one of these packs for yourself and tell your friends!!!!

Title: Fantastic for fans of Eddie
Review: So yeah....This three are great at this price and are each funny individually. If you've seen Dress to Kill, Circle, or Sexie, then you might come away mildly dissappointed, as those are certainly better. These shows are obviously Eddie still developing his act and his style, but they are funny non the less (especially if you are up on you Angloisms). Might not be good for those who don't consider themselves fans, and definately not the best Eddie or the way to get introduced, but, for the initiated, this is a great buy.

Title: Great Comic - Wonderful Deal!
Review: If you love Eddie Izzard (how can you not?) you MUST get this set! My husband is a big fan of Glorious. I found this set for his birthday a couple of months ago, thanking my lucky stars that I found 3 dvds instead of just the one. After watching them with him, I was convinced Eddie was the comic for me! He's witty, intelligent and spastic enough for my brain to keep up with. Unrepeatable is my favorite. I laughed until tears sprang to my eyes. If you love British humor, like Eddie at all, or just want to experience a new comic, you cannot go wrong with this set!

Title: Evil herbivores!!!
Review: This bundle is a MUST for any Izzard fan! I have been enjoying these on video for some time, and now I can enjoy them in better quality DVD. I absolutely LOVE his energy in "Definite Article" and "Glorious".It's great to look at these in the sequence of Eddie's career. One should not try to compare them to the widely known "Dress to Kill", because these were all done earlier. You have to think of them as passages in his life and comedy. Perhaps this is a sign that "Live at The Ambassadors" might eventually be on DVD as well.I cannot recommend these enough!!! Quickly, buy them now! Go on!

Title: Best pre-wax cleaner I've used
Review: I came across this product a couple of years ago and fell in love with it. It's a great pre-wax cleaner that does a great job of brightening the finish of a car before applying a protective coating of your favorite wax. It does a pretty good job of removing "black dots" although a fair amount of "elbow grease" is needed. I highly recommend it.

Title: This CD got me an A-!
Review: Whether you enjoy Chemistry or not, this is a great idea! By using all sorts of cool graphics and videos and animations, this CD ROM actually makes what I've always found to be a totally hard subject, much easier. I used it for my Chemistry class last semester and managed to actually pull off a A-! Had I been using the textbook only, I know I would not have done nearly as well. Rather than simply barely making it through the class, now I feel like I actually understand Chemistry. Imagine that!

Title: Major dissapointment
Review: This is a SACD fiasco. I had hoped that Sony would work that same magic as they did with the Szell SACD reissues which create a wonderful soundtage with depth and great string sound. No such luck. The orchestra is 2 dimensional and so congested that it's diffcult to make out the individual instruments. Stern's violin playing is gorgeous but he is so loud and upfront that this SACD images like a violin solo in front of wallpaper. I guess the engineers monkeyed so much with the Phila recordings that great sound is impossible. What a shame.

Title: Dissatisfied Customer
Review: When I received the CD I could not play it; I thought it was defective and returned it. Amazon sent a replacement and it would not play either. I then noted that this particular CD took special equipment, so I returned it again and ask for a refund. Amazon wrote back that since it had provided a replacement there would be no refund. What a policy! I have order my last product from Amazon.

Title: Left a bit to be desired
Review: Although I am new to yoga I have done some and I was expecting more from this video. The background were sotthing and the music was relaxing but the yoga poses were too few. I don't feel like I have fully stretchecd. I also didn't like the EXTENDED visualization. You lie on your side for close to 15 minutes "relaxing to music" Over all I am very disapointed in the video. I guess if you are doing nothing at all it may be a good start. I did alot of research before buying this video and unfortunatly there dosn't seem to be too much out there in the way of yoga for pregnancy.

Title: Wonderfully different !!
Review: I learned about David Grubbs through his collaboration with Jim O'Rourke in Gastr del Sol. (And I learned about Jim O'Rourke from his stint with Sonic Youth.)David Grubbs is a breath of fresh air. I am still exploring his work, and I have 4 CDs right now. I really like Guess at the Riddle because while there are hooks and pop melodies, there is also very strong experimentation. But it's not a slog like listening to a lot of experimental work. It walks the fine line of tap-your-foot-melodies with an open minded free formedness missing from most of today's music. Highly recommended !!

Title: All Music Guide review by Scott Yanow
Review: Although bassist Rick Jones gets first billing, this set of "conversations" has him and pianist Gary Brunotte playing very much as equals. The two musicians interact closely on a set of jazz standards, playing melodically, quietly, with lyricism and with quick reactions to each other's ideas. High points include "The Night Has a Thousand Eyes," "I Hear a Rhapsody," and "I Love You," but all of the performances are filled with subtle creativity. This small-label release is well worth searching for.

Title: A fine catalog of Quantum METAphysics
Review: A catalog of quantum worldviews. Herbert discusses the various interpretations of how quantum mechanics describes reality. In other words, what does it mean about the underlying reality of the world to say that electrons (and all other subatomic "building blocks") are both/neither waves and/nor particles? Herbert presents eight different, yet overlapping, interpretations of quantum mechanics. The ones that I remember most clearly are the Copenhagen interpretation (i.e., that there is no underlying reality), the multiple worlds interpretation, the consciousness-only interpretation. Needless to say, all of the interpretations were, in one way or another, counter-intuitive and weird.Another point that Herbert drives home is that, however we understand reality in light of quantum physics, it is definitely non-local (everything is everywhere and everywhen) as demonstrated conclusively by Bell's theorem.

Title: A great book
Review: This is a great book. Instead of highlighting one or two strange quantum examples, this book really tries to explain what is going on. Given that nobody really knows what is going on, this book does a very good job of explaining the prevailing theories. Other books such as "A brief history of time" and "the elegant universe" talk a little about quantum mechanics, but they left me with an incomplete view of the field. Although this book will not turn you into a quantum physicist, it will help you understand what quantum stuff is all about.

Title: very nice intro
Review: Richard Feynman noted that no-one understands Quantum Mechanics. OK. If you want a virtual understanding, this book is a great start. It is easy to read, easier to read than other books mentioned by reviewers, and you come out of it feeling you at least understand something of Quantum Mechanics. I enjoyed it so much I summarized my notes, so I could have my understanding of it on a few pages. I do that only with the best books I read. There is a very little bit of mathematics, but for those of us who didn't take 4 years of college level math, this is very understandable. I've also seen this book cited in other books that present Quantum Mechanics in simple terms. Since QM is replacing the Newtonian paradigm that our society is built on, this book is well worth reading. I wish I'd run across it in high school, I'd have read it as carefully as I read Lord of the Rings.

Title: Explore the possible underlying realities
Review: This isn't easy reading for a first quantum physics book imo, because it quickly gets to the reality interpretations of quantum physics before it discusses the physics. This can make it confusing reading, especially the first time through. If you are already knowledgeable about the quantum facts, then jump right in and explore the possible underlying realities with this book. Any discourse on the reality underlying quantum actions should be somewhat confusing - no one understands it and there are many theories.

Title: One of the BEST
Review: Without veering off into New Agey territory too much (hello Mr. Talbot), this book explores the scientific side of quantum strangeness. It is a bit more involved and complicated, but it is still comprehendable with some concentration. Of course, it will help if you have some prior knowledge of quantum mechanics. This is an excellent book on a fascinating subject. Science and magic meet in the quantum world!

Title: THE FIRST book to read on quantum theory
Review: Of all the books that I've read on quantum theory that do not use calculus, this is probably the best. He is clear and succinct and ties things together in ways that click (at least for me). Some others that I'm reading that I'm comparing to: Quantum Theory - A Very Short Introduction by John Polkinghorne (good, but very quick pace), The Story of Quantum Mechanics by Victor Guillemin (also very good, might come in second), Thirty Years That Shook Physics by George Gamov (alright, particularly good for anecdotal stories from one who knew these guys), and Physics and Philosophy by Heisenberg (good, but I'm not too far yet, clear, and a good writer).
