Book Description

Image communication technologies have advanced rapidly in recent years and the book series, Advances in Image Communication is dedicated to documenting these developments. Third in the series, this publication contributes as effectively as its forerunners to the multidisciplinary overview afforded by the series as a whole. At the same time, it stands alone as a comprehensive synopsis of its own particular area of interest.

The book specifically explores two complementary topics, namely:

the coding algorithms made to compress the data rate of digital moving-picture sequences (video-telephony, television [TV] and high-definition television [HDTV]) and

Useful games colection.......2006-02-07

Let me clear the basic facts about what kind of book this (and the rest of the series) is; it is a game colection, very resonably anotated, with critical points arising somewhere at the end of opening phase or at the begining of middlegame. (It is not a bambambum tactics which resolve a game in instant.) At that point thematic tactical move arises which usually changes the evaluation of position by (dissa)prooving the way to handle it as black or white. Since the whole game is covered, we can see the ultimate logic of playing that position to win, but in number of games inferior side is giving its best to stay in the game. Although cover of this book is focusing on french defence, out of its 236 pages the french is having around 1/4 of it having 68 pages. The rest of the book comprises of 50 pages of Caro-Kann, 22 pages of Scandinavian, 40 pages of Pirc, 12 pages of Kings fianchetto and 26 pages of Alekhine, to be precise. What I like the most in this book is that authors managed to find a good balance between descriptive and analytic in annotating the games from the book. Also, the most of the games in here are very new, which is nice from the teoretical point, but I like that authors also included some of the great clasic games from those openings, which can be very instructive.
I give this book a strong four stars, and can recommend it to the practitioners of theese openings as a useful reminder and refreshment.

solid handbook.......2007-07-19

this is a solid, almost academic, handbook. it's points you toward the things you need to figure out but you'll still need to get additional information on your local regulations. personnaly, it discouraged me from opening a buisness at this time.

Outstanding book!.......2007-03-15

This book is very detailed and to the point. It covers all areas of the restaurant business. Then menu planning section is great. It gives so much foresight.

2004 Writers Notes Book Award Winner.......2005-05-18

The Restaurant Manager's Handbook is a no-nonsense, coverall manual for the food establishment industry. It's the essence of a successful handbook-no jokes, parables, and preachy lectures, just the facts. If you delve into the heal-thy index for fault, you'll abruptly bump into a page number for an answer, and if you're currently running a restaurant and afraid to appear inadequate, you can load the handy CD-ROM and pretend you're checking your e-mail while figur-ing out the monthly audit procedures or why the beer is flat. I'm not kidding. The next time your favorite kitchen runs short of the daily special or closes down for a lack of permit, serve them a copy of this great reference book.
