Fantastic!.......2007-06-16

This is a fantastic book! I love it. It has all the information you need to start using video in the classroom. Dan Greenwood also provides his website with a lot of information to download and use in the classroom. Great book!

Packed with info.......2006-07-29

This book was purchased for a graduate level digital video course designed to teach teachers how to use video in the classroom. The book has a lot of information about taking an idea for a video, and moving it through all the steps to a final product. For any teacher who wants to use video in their classroom there's a lot of ideas to get you started. As for student projects, there are a ton of things too.

I highly recommend this book for any teacher who wants to use student/teacher made video in their classroom.

Excellent resource.......2003-09-09

I am very grateful to have found the book, "Action! In the Classroom." It has been incredibly valuable to me as I have been preparing to teach (and create) a video production class for our high school. It is thorough, well-written, the illustrations are terrific, and the resources provided on the web are just fantastic. Excellent.

Super series for Film & Media Studies teachers (16-19 year olds).......2005-09-27

I am biased, as I'm the Series Editor, but every title in the series has lots of factual and conceptual background information for each topic, two sample six-week teaching schemes and teaching tips (and downloadable photocopiable worksheets and web notes from [...]) as well as 3-5 detailed case studies, full glossary and suggestions for further research.

Every writer is an experienced teacher and/or examiner and most titles (with the exception of ones with 'British' in the title) have a fairly international perspective.

mortal kombat : evolved, but no guide needed really.......2004-01-02

Mortal Kombat:DA is a fine game with all new characters and graphics that r fantastic on xbox but not on ps2 or gamecube {and i'm not just saying that cause i hate the ngc or ps2 cause i own all 3 and have experience with them] But is a strategy guide really needed the game's isn't even difficult and u already have their moves list on an especially easy to follow menu , so i dont think it's needed but saying that it is useful for fatalities which r cool but not as cool as mk1 and mk2 . And is there any way to do friend ships cause they were cool especially Lui kang's disco inferno and thats true as well MK:DA doesn't have good fighters in like Shao Kahn and Lui Kang and Sub zero looks worse than ever as well as Raiden who Looks powerless just like KUng Lao and reptile as well . So in conclusion guide is ok but only for fatalities , MK:DA is good but NOT AS GOOD as MK1 and MK2 which were fantastic on arcade and snes but hard to play on megadrive.
Thank u for reading and good night

Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance? -Good. This guide? -Not........2003-06-26

Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance is probably the best fighting game out there. However, when I bought the guide, I realized that it was exactly the same info that could be found in the character's Konquest mode, and by pausing any game and bringing up the character's moves. The guide only adds a few combos, and it never covers any character's fighting styles very well.

For instance, looking at Johnny Cage, even though it says "he works very well in all of his fighting styles," they only go into small detail on Jeet Kune Do. With Shang Tsung, they only really explain two of his fighting styles. No matter the character, the guide actually tells the player to stay in one fighting style! This is extremely boring, and a bad idea, considering the fact that each style has some merit. It's obvious when you read it that the author didn't spend a whole lot of time with most of the characters. After reading storylines like Johnny Cage's, which explains he never died in the MK storyline, only in one of his movies (this was done to quiet some fan-boys [mad] that he was still around. Next up should be explaining to them that Scorpion's been dead in every game...), the author still says something about him being ressurrected (for this game), again. This is one of the many, many over-sights in the guide, and it shows the author's over-looking of details.

When you play MK:DA, each character has three different fighting styles, usually 2 hand-to-hand styles and one weapon style. The fun is switching between them to confuse your opponent, and accessing the different moves in each style. Where this guide fails is describing each style's strengths and weaknesses. The guide only touches on select styles, and usually doesn't give enough info on these. If the guide would've had a few more pages per character, this might have fixed the problem. As it stands, the guide is almost useless. It promises on the back to reveal "Krypt secrets," but no, you have to buy a seperate, "Krypt Pocket Kodes" book to find out what's in the Krypt--the book doesn't even touch on it, therefore lying to the potential customer. (The Krypt is a huge "graveyard" which allows a player to sapend earning "Koins" from battle on the 675 or so "koffins" in the game, which contain secrets like alternate costumes, hidden characters like Kitana and Reptile, etc.)

After all is said and done, this guide doesn't really cover anything that isn't already available in the game, but it does make this info readily available. For hardcore MK fans, or people who hate pausing the game constantly only, otherwise it's pretty worthless.

MK - MORE KNOWLEDGE.......2002-12-20

I used to love the old MK pocket guides and was a little disappointed when they went the way of the 8 track tape. After picking up the new MK/DA strategy guide by BradyGames, I can see why this one in particular wasn't a pocket-sized guide. It would have been the size of a Stephen King paperback (and the full size, full color artwork would have been reduced to a CD cover). BG has crammed everything you could think of and more in this wonderful guidebook. It's broken down into how to use the guide; terms of kombat; kombat basics (for XB, GC, and PS2); fighting styles (each character has 3); konquest; kombatants (available, unlockable, and secret); chronology of MK (shouldn't that be kronology or something?); a 20 page art gallery (don't worry though, as all 144 pages are covered with cool art work); 4 pages for the Krypt; and kombat trivia (with answers). Even though I was about halfway through the game, I still had to add this awesome book to my MK collection. Who knows, I might need it down the stretch.

Since 1987, Starbucks's star has been on the rise, growing from 11 Seattle, WA-based stores to more than 1,000 worldwide. Its goals grew, too, from the more modest, albeit fundamental one of offering high-quality coffee beans roasted to perfection to, more recently, opening a new store somewhere every day. An exemplary success story, Starbucks is identified with innovative marketing strategies, employee-ownership programs, and a product that's become a subculture.

Whether you're an entrepreneur, a manager, a marketer, or a curious Starbucks loyalist, Pour Your Heart into It will let you in on the revolutionary Starbucks venture. CEO Howard Schultz recounts the company's rise in 24 chapters, each of which illustrates such core values as "Winning at the expense of employees is not victory at all."

Book Description

The success of Starbucks Coffee Company is one of the most remarkable business stories in decades, growing from a single retail store on Seattle's waterfront to a company with more than one thousand stores nationwide and a new one opening every business day. Starbucks has effected a fundamental change in American life, turning coffee into a national obsession and establishing the coffee bar as a new fixture of Main Street - a home away from home for millions of Americans. In Pour Your Heart Into It, Howard Schultz, the CEO of Starbucks, shares the passion, values, and inspiration that drive the success of this fascinating company. Schultz gives credit for the growth of Starbucks to a foundation of values seldom found in corporate America - values that place as much importance on the company's employees as they do on profits, as much attention to creativity as to growth. Schultz tells the story of Starbucks in chapters that illustrate the principles which have made the company enduring, such as "Don't be threatened by people smarter than you," "Compromise anything but your core values," "Seek to renew yourself even when you are hitting home runs," and, most simply, "Everything matters." For entrepreneurs, marketers, managers, and Starbucks' loyal customers, Pour Your Heart Into It gets to the heart of a company that, according to Fortune magazine, "has changed everything...from our tastes to our language to the face of Main Street."

Customer Reviews:

starbucks is special because it is personal.......2007-09-20

this book tells the very personal story of how Howard Schultz discovered, changed and created the Starbucks we know. Schultz grew up in the projects in Broooklyn, NY, moved away to college in the midwest and became a driven sales rep. He then discovered Starbucks which was a supplier of coffee beans of the best quality. The owner/managers were extremely fastidious about quality and Schultz adopted this obsession with excellent coffees. He realized the appeal not only of excellent coffee, but of the cafe, a place to socialize and enjoy the drink. Eventually he left starbucks to found Il Giornale, the precursor of starbucks cafes, then returned to buy starbucks and the name. From that time, he embarked on a dramatic, high paced quest to expand starbucks into a reknowned supplier of the best coffees and the most appealing coffee shops, enlisting a number of equally driven as well as scrupulous team mates along the way. Unmistakably, the journey was and is marked by integrity, fanatical devotion to quality, courage, care for the partners (employees) and customers as individuals. Moreover, the personal approach to the product is illustrated by the great care, almost trepidation, taken before a new product is introduced. And equally noteworthy is the source of the new product: requests by customers, as relayed by the store partners. For instance, the frappuccino. On the other hand, the team is able to invest on a fantastic scale and at impressive speed to expand the reach of starbucks.

To better understand starbucks, if you don't already, read this book.

Finally, this book tells why starbucks is radically different from fast food places which also happen to serve coffee.

Intriguing Entrepreneurial Story - Good Read.......2007-08-12

This book reads like a novel, keeps you interested, and also gives amazing insight into entrepreneurship and one of America's most interesting cultural icons. I enjoyed both the topics and the style of the book. highly recommended for anyone who is interested in business, entrepreneurship, and marketing.

Pour Some Truth Into It.......2007-07-31

One reviewer here points out that Howard, being from Brooklyn and later working out of New York, "failed to cross the bridge and discover Little Italy where they had been making lattes and cappuccinos for decades."

It suddenly occurred to me, not only did Scultz fail to discover Little Italy before he made his famous trip to Milan in 1983 as a Starbucks employee, but he actually contradicts himself in the book about America's intro to lattes and cappuccinos. Example: page 53 - his "first taste" of a caffe latte in Verona: "No one in America knows about this . . .etc." Then pages 58, 59: When he has his first "test run" of an espresso bar (April '84) "As far as I know, America was first introduced to caffe latte that morning."

Problem is, on pages 81-84 when he becomes associated with Dave Olsen to start Il Giornale, he gives the following background on Olsen: "In the Fall of 1974 he opened Cafe Allegro on an alley just opposite main entrance to UW campus. Few Americans knew the term caffe latte in those days. He made a similar drink and called it a cafe au lait." This was 10 years prior to his espresso experiment in downtown Seattle!

Did Schultz rewrite history in order to sell a book? That clearly wouldn't have been necessary. But there is an additional problem. I have a friend who worked at the University Village store in 1977 who has a story that similarly contradicts Schultz's timeline. He told me the following: "During our training at Starbucks they pulled out an espresso maker to show us how to make capuccinos (only to demo the machines since they weren't making drinks for sale). The person doing the demo started with more-or-less an apology - something like "foaming milk is hard to do and the goal is to just get the top of the drink completely covered with foam". Meanwhile I had discovered 2 espresso houses in Seattle (the Allegro and the Last Exit Off Broadway). They were making good lattes (then called café au-laits) with lots of foam. I realized that either our machines were merely toys, or the person giving the demo at Starbucks did not know how to properly foam milk. I went across the street to QFC, bought a gallon of milk, set up a machine in the shop, and proceeded to foam milk until I could do it the right way. It took most of the gallon to do it but I was able to produce 3 times the amount of foam (on a volume basis) as the milk I was using." This was in 1977, seven years before Schultz' test run of an espresso bar in downtown Seattle!

Although I thoroughly enjoyed the book, I would be interested to know if someone can shed any light on this obvious discrepancy.

An Entrepreneur's Guide to How to Make it Big.......2007-07-04

Schultz not only is a great storyteller; he provides the reader with so many ways to refer back to the book with his catchy subtitles and quotes. What struck me most was his ability to reiterate time and time again the importance of relationships and how you treat your people to the success of any organization. His remark that a business who is satisfied with serving a customer coffee from a pot that is sitting there for an hour is not one he wants to deal with shows just how important it is to set standards and keep them.

Love it!.......2007-06-02

I just graduated high school and my dream is to own a coffee shop. This book was the perfect read. I loved it! It gives great tips and its always nice to learn from other people's mistakes. :] I deffinately recommend it. Every entrepreneur should read it, whether or not you get into the coffee business.
