Open the first pop-up TIE fighter in the tiny TIE Fighter: A Pocket Manual and the first thing you'll do (well, after saying, "Cool!") is imitate the high-pitched scream of the ship's twin ion engines as you send it out on an arm's-length patrol. Impossible not to play with (featuring pop-ups convincingly designed using stills from the movies), this little book is also fun to read. It poses as a tongue-in-cheek training manual for prospective TIE pilots, and is sprinkled with jingoistic Imperial bluster. Get one for your back pocket and one for your desk. Saying, "I have you now!" has never been so much fun. --Paul Hughes

Book Description
Every musician could benefit from having a soundproof place to practice their art. Keep the Peace! provides practical suggestions for creating just such a space. So if you're a guitarist who'd like to unplug the headphones from your Rockman and crank up that Boogie, or if you're a drummer who'd like to work on a new lick but it's past your daughter's bedtime, or if your band is on a first-name basis with the local police because of your neighbor's complaints, then this book is DEFINITELY for you.

A 'must' for any musician who would keep neighbors happy and create a viable practice space........2007-01-07
KEEP THE PEACE! THE MUSICIAN'S GUIDE TO SOUNDPROOFING evolved from a series of articles author Mark Parsons originally wrote for Modern Drummer, and stems from a long-time interest in building rooms for the rehearsal and recording of music. Musicians will find delightful the survey of retrofitting walls and spaces to soundproof and lend to recording and practice acoustics, which comes packed with black and white photos and diagrams throughout. A 'must' for any musician who would keep neighbors happy and create a viable practice space.

Not quite what I was looking for........2006-07-04
The book is fine for what it is aimed at: people who want to have a recording facility in a residential building.
However, if you do a lot of music and want detailed information about the minimum soundproofing specs in an apartment building about to be built (so you don't end up at war with neighbors)this isn't the book. "Noise control manual for Residential Buildings" by David A. Harris is heavy going, but certainly presents the complexity of the issues in a professional manner.

Book Description
A complete guide to creating planetary yantras to access their healing and centering benefits
• Provides easy-to-follow instructions to create the yantras
• Serves as an introduction to active meditation, which focuses the mind while the body is engaged in a meditative activity
The tantric art of drawing or painting the nine designs known as yantras is an ancient practice of active meditation that releases positive healing and centering effects. Each of the nine designs corresponds to one of the nine qualities of body and mind essential to well-being: radiance, nourishment, passion, intellect, expansion, bliss, organization, uniqueness, and spirituality. From the basic elements of the square, the circle, and the triangle, dynamic visual meditations unfold as the practitioner works clockwise from the outer elements inward toward the central point of stillness, or
bindu, the source of happiness within. An accompanying mantra is recited while preparing each yantra to fully engage the senses in the meditative process.
Creating the design that “speaks” most to the practitioner enables its unique healing quality to be transmitted. For example, working on the yantra named “Radiance” cultivates optimism and the self-confidence to succeed in one’s endeavors, while “radiating,” or imparting, one’s inner light to others.
This workbook provides an important resource for active meditation, a practice revered for its effectiveness in revealing the spiritual underpinnings of everyday life. The active participation of the body in meditation while creating the nine planetary yantras raises to the level of spiritual ritual the practitioner’s intention toward wakefulness and gives access to profound states of healing integration.

Book Description
Silence is a unique and beautiful guide to helping people develop their spiritual health. Written specifically for busy people, Silence aims to help readers find simple, practical ways to use meditation to create personal well-being and inner calm. Moving beyond meditation techniques, Feldman also discusses the historical, cultural, and religious stories of spiritualism and meditation, as well as the subject of finding enlightenment through silence.

Silence: How to find Inner Peace in a busy world.......2006-05-14
I found Silence to be a wonderful part of my meditation and self-calming efforts in this all too tense and busy world. It is a beautiful book in its writing and its wonderful pictures. I was instantly calmed when I read the first section, and looked forward to reading more each night before sleep. I am buying copies to gift to my tense friends and family. I plan to reread my copy often. I would highly recommend this peaceful and beautifully written book to anyone seeking calmness and peace in their lives.
A worthwhile keepsake.......2006-04-19
It took me several turns of heart before I bought this book, and all because this book costs SGD 60.27 at Kinokuniya Singapore. It was clinged wrapped at first and I had the service people opened it for me. The cover was a simple jacket of gold with the words "silence" in striking gold. The subtitle and the author's name appear in white. As silent as the subject of the book, the cover design is simple and freeing - full of space. I was struck (as with all coffee table book) by the quality of printing, the paper quality and the quality of the pictures. I discover at the point of writing this review that the book was printed and bound by a printer in Singapore. It was typeset and laid out in graphic style, not like the normal print of a book.
The author writes about silence as observed by different traditions and religions. I find, however, after reading the whole book, that the slant is somewhat towards Buddhism (not that this bothers me). Pictures of Buddhist monks featured in many instances in the book. What erks me is the deliberate large print of some of the words in each page of the book. I guess the author was trying to highlight words that are associated with silence, peace and love but where I first thought that the large print made the typesetting graphical, after a while I got distracted on occasions by the jarring big and bold words. I was also distracted by sentences and quotes that are set in landscape format and in faint font all over the book.
In all fairness, I did enjoy the book and I could resonate with some words of wisdom that the author wrote. For example, "Silence is what frees us to listen well, to live with authenticity and discover wholeness within ourselves." "The joy of silence teaches us to be more generous, caring and sensitive." Having myself experienced the rewards and joys of keeping silent moments in each day, I found myself nodding with approval and consensus with the author that indeed it is in silence that we learn about ourselves, and if we respond to change ourselves first, then love will be manifested through us and love will reach other people.
This book, costly no doubt, is one worthwhile keepsake and a beautiful one to line my bookshelf. Looking at the pictures in the book give me different perspectives of silence and how simple objects can be viewed creatively so one sees God alive in them.
"Silence".......2006-02-28
I have been attempting to read this book but haven't gotten very far. It has delightful pictures and the words are nice, however I can't tell yet if it is repetitive in content. It is different than I expected. I do think there is potential for it to be a book one would want to read when relaxation is a goal.
"Be still, and know that I am God". Psalm 46:10. .......2005-03-28
Meditation Master and Sage, Christina Feldman, has put together a beautiful and profound book on the art of silence. The many pictures within the book speak the silent language of the heart. Her heartfelt words point us in the direction that all great spiritual sages and mystics have pointed, to the inner room of our heart, the Holy of Holies. From generality to nuance Christina takes us by the heart and leads us into the way of silence. Silence is the universal language spoken by Lao-Tzu, the Buddha, Jesus, and all those other sages and mystics that have spoken to our hearts down through the centuries. Silence is the common denominator of the spiritual life, East and West. Lao-Tzu once said, "The Tao that can be described is not the eternal Tao". Silence was very important to the Master of Paradox, to the "Old Child". The "Buddha" didn't achieve Nirvana until he gave up on the noise of religion and sat down and quietly meditated. Jesus the "Christ" went into the desert for forty-days and forty-nights to meditate and pray in silent solitude. He then changed the history of the world. As Christina states, "Silence lies at the heart of all our great Spiritual traditions. The variety of forms of contemplation, prayer, and meditation meet in their reverence for silence". Silence is golden.
Silence is the sound of one hand clapping. The sound of nonduality. The sound of God. It is both personal and impersonal. Silence is tangible, the bed from which the universal source of being is aroused. There is an intimacy that can only be known and shared in silence. The intimacy of absolute love. It is in quiet solitude that we come to realize that we are never truly alone. Silence is a field where love grows.
"Awe" ('fear' is a poor translation) of the Source of our being is the beginning of wisdom". Proverbs 9:10. Christina quotes from a poem by the Zen Master, Basho, "Speechless before These budding green Spring leaves in blazing sunlight". Again, awe is the beginning of wisdom. Awe is an attraction, fear is a distraction. Zen poetry is a language of the heart. Zen Koans are irrational alarm clocks for waking us from our slumber, from our inattention. Silence is a refuge that offers sanctuary from the hustle and bustle of modern life. The still small voice of God is always near. Silence is a gift that we give ourselves so that we can give ourselves to others. In silence we strip down to our essence. There is a spark of Divinity within each of us. An essence that is a part of the essence of God. The Kingdom of God is a family. In silence we remember our permanent home address. We are part of God, and yet God is other, and in others. Pride would limit God to self. Humility knows otherwise. In silence there is the reconciliation of East and West, of self and other, of self and God.
Christina points out that there are many different paths or ways to silence that we can chose to take. That in the end each of us must learn to travel our own path. As no two snowflakes are exactly the same, no two paths are exactly the same. As they say in Hinduism, "Though truth is One, the Sages know it as Many". Others can give us guidance, but we must make the journey of self-discovery ourselves. The Wizard can't give us anything we don't already have. We must learn to see with the eyes of our heart and discover our own way to stillness if we are to live lives worth living, to live examined lives. "I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened..." Ephesians 1:18. This journey of self-discovery is available to each of us. One such way to enlightenment that Christina points out is to follow one's breath...
I have only scratched the surface of the depths of this book with this review. If I had to limit my library to 10 books, this would be one of them. It is spiritually universal in its scope. A good used hardcover copy can be had for less than $5, though it is well worth its new price.

Book Description
This book unambiguously opposes capital punishment as the immoral act of "the killing state." Lind traces Yahweh's saving action and steadfast love for Israel and the world from Moses to Elijah to Jesus, and shows how they are to be emulated on the societal level by obedience to covenant law. This leads to his conclusion that capital punishment is to be opposed because from the perspective of the God revealed in the Bible-determined in Lind's view by the careful reading of the text he has attempted here-capital punishment is simply wrong.

Customer Reviews:
Wow...that was fast........2007-10-02
Let's just say i was registered for a class on Friday that started on Monday and I got my book on Tuesday without paying an arm and a leg for expedited delivery. I'm really thankful for AMAZON :)
Nice book for beginners.......2007-10-01
This book helped me to understand accounting in a simpler way though my background is engineering. Nice examples and explanations are written in simpler language that everybody can understand.
Not impressed.......2007-09-29
I was not impressed with this book. I found it long-winded and text-y. I was expecting an Accounting-for-non-accountants approach but I couldn't have been more wrong. The more I read this book, the more I wanted to buy another book-- Accounting for Dummies. Thank God for my instructor's supplementary materials for without those, I would truly be lost. Her presentations provide more concise, to-the-point information.
If you are a non-accountant like me and you wish to understand accounting by your own terms, this is definitely not the book for you. Their exercises don't even have quick and available answers.
Excellent Book........2007-09-06
I scored an A in this subject due to the good quality of the book.
Terrible accounting text.......2007-02-26
The textbook is just poorly organized and doesn't begin to prepare you to solve the problems that are given at the end of each chapter. While it defines terms well it also leaves out explanations for most practical applications that are tested for in the problems. There is no way to check your actual work, since even the homework manager only provides solutions and not a detailed methodology as to how the answers were arrived at. It is amazing that this has survived to 7 editions without someone organizing the chapters and the material in some more organized fashion. Unrelated concepts are thrown in at the end of chapters with little explanation. If you want to learn accounting terminology this book is okay. If you want to learn how journal entries are actually recorded line by line look somewhere else. The explanation of debits and credits is perfunctory. This is not written as an entry level accounting text for non accountants.
Book Description
Companies expect managers to use financial data to allocate resources and run their departments. But many managers can’t read a balance sheet, wouldn’t recognize a liquidity ratio, and don’t know how to calculate return on investment. Worse, they don’t have any idea where the numbers come from or how reliable they really are.
In Financial Intelligence, Karen Berman and Joe Knight teach the basics of finance—but with a twist. Financial reporting, they argue, is as much art as science. Since nobody can quantify everything, accountants always rely on estimates, assumptions, and judgment calls. Savvy managers need to know how those sources of possible bias can affect the financials—and they need to know that sometimes the numbers can be challenged.
While providing the foundation for a deep understanding of the financial side of business, the book also arms managers with practical strategies for improving their companies’ performance—strategies such as “managing the balance sheet” that are well understood by financial professionals but rarely shared with their nonfinancial colleagues.
Accessible, jargon-free, and filled with entertaining stories of real companies, Financial Intelligence will help nonfinancial managers be smarter and more confident in their everyday work.
Customer Reviews:
Excellent book ... for beginners only.......2007-06-10
If you have some understanding of finance - even basic - don't expect to learn anything out of this book. I was expecting much more than that given the target audience - "managers" - and the publisher. I doubt that in today's world, a manager wouldn't have some sort of understanding of finance. Nonetheless, the book is well written, explained and organized. I had my analyst read it as an introduction and he liked it a lot.
Clear, interesting, fun.......2007-03-30
I had to buy this book for a fiscal management class. It is probably one of the best management books that I've read. It is really clear. I don't really have a head for finance, but this book makes it simple and entertaining. There are lots of examples from real life. This is a great book if you want to know more about financial vocabulary and basics. Also might be a good brushup, though I was starting from scratch so I wouldn't know.
A good beginning..........2007-03-10
This is an overview of what to look for in balance sheet and income statement as a manager. However, better information resides with cost based accounting around activities(ABC/M). This book is an excellent read for simple information. Not bad for the price!
Fun with managerial accounting.......2007-01-09
I really enjoyed reading "Financial Intelligence" by Karen Berman and Joe Knight. The authors use a fairly casual tone (often humorous) to combine a semester's worth of managerial accounting with a healthy dose of private sector application. The book is a quick read and should be great as an introduction to managerial accounting or a refresher for anyone responsible for managing a P/L at any level.
Very valuable!.......2006-11-11
I highly recommend this book! It's an easy read for non-accountants! This should be in every manager's desk for quick reference. This has helped me a lot in making day-to-day decisions.
Book Description
Ideal for a survey course, this text is written to meet the needs of non-accountants who need to gain a basic understanding of how to use accounting information and make financial decisions. The reader is introduced to basic concepts such as: what accounting information is, what it means, and how it is used. Students are exposed to financial statements and learn what they do and do not communicate. This text covers financial and managerial accounting concepts. A complete annual report is included in an appendix.
Customer Reviews:
Seems intentionally confusing.......2007-03-25
I'm just starting a class that requires this book. I don't have a financial background. The book is confusing. It seems like the chapters outline basic principles. However, when it comes to doing the homework problems, the text asks things that were poorly covered and/or obscure.
I wish I didn't have to take this class and could get my money back.
Trish.......2006-02-27
I gave this book one star because there are no negative numbers available. The other reviews here are all true! This is a horrible textbook that jumps from subject to subject quickly, gives simplistic examples in the chapter and then throws complex homework problems with new components not explained in the chapter--oh and don't let me forget to mention that the terminology changes from chapter to homework as well! A friend with two masters (business and engineering) became so frustrated trying to help with a problem that he threw his hands up. The terminology kept throwing him off.
If you are supposed to buy this text I suggest you either show these to college administration ahead of time, or take another class. This is so bad I won't even sell mine back. I'm throwing it in my grill to burn.
This text is terrible.......2005-11-16
This book lacks effective structure, or comprehensible structure at least, and the writing is both tedious and meandering. Many of the examples are minimally useful and some are only vaguely associated to the concepts they are meant to support. Useless! This book wasted the time I had taken from my family to study accounting. Why would anyone select this text for a graduate level class???
What a waste of money.......2005-10-17
This textbook is fullllllll of inaccuracies. Additionally, the author gets some sort of sick thrill from giving really simple, insufficient examples in the chapters, and then giving over-the-top difficult questions in the homework. This author also loves to ramble and make this already tedious subject just as incomprehensible as he can possibly make it. My husband is a CFO and could NOT believe how horrible this book is. It's that bad. Students should demand that a different textbook be required.
Very confusing text.......2005-02-09
I found this textbook to be very confusing. It doesn't spend enough time elaborating on each topic before it moves on to the next.
Book Description
Accounting: What the Numbers Mean, 6e, by Marshall/McManus/Viele is written to meet the needs of those students who will not be accountants but who do need to understand accounting, the language of business, in order to effectively participate in activities such as planning, control, and decision- making. Marshall takes readers through the basics: what accounting information is, what it means, and how it is used. In using this text, students examine financial statements and discover what they do and do not communicate. This enables them to gain the crucial decision-making and problem-solving skills they need in order to succeed in a professional environment.

Accounting: What the numbers mean........2007-03-09
With a college degree under my belt this is the best Text Book I've ever had!
The worst book from McGraw Hill Publisher I've ever seen!.......2006-02-18
McGraw Hill put a lot of efforts in order to compensate for the indigestible content, but unfortunately they could not compensate for that and their good design merely created an illusion that the book is on an acceptable level.
I had this book for one of my online accounting classes and the whole class was crying from that. It felt that one author wrote the text, another one wrote the content of exercises, and third one wrote quizzes. All of them did not talk to each other during the whole process. As a result, when you read the text, you feel like you understand everything, but when you do exercises or respond to quiz questions, you can miss around 90% easily.
We demanded that our university should withdraw this textbook from the program. After this book, those who wanted to become accountants, changed their mind, that how bad this book is.
Clear and specific.......2005-08-07
Let alone for those who concentrate in accounting, even for students concentrated in other fields, this book is really clear and specific.
poorly organized.......2005-07-07
The book looks great, but when you begin to study it, you realize that it is poorly constructed. For example, the study guide that accompanies the book gives the answers to every other problem, which is nice. The problem is that the answers are for the easier of the two questions (the book is constructed so that every two questions are similar). So when you are trying to teach yourself the material, you finally get the answer to the question that is given ane then you are faced with a more difficult question, for which there is no answer. Then when you look at the learning objectives, which are listed in the margin next to each question, you find that there is NOTHING in the learning objective, no sample problem, that will help you. It is frustrating to say the least... Perhaps the next edition will be better.
Book Description
Never HIGHLIGHT a Book Again! Virtually all testable terms, concepts, persons, places, and events are included.look no further for study resources or reference material.

Don't bother.......2007-07-26
Don't waste your money.
The textbook provides great summaries at the end of each chapter. This is loaded with numerous definitions but the structure has no logic and it's difficult to find information quickly. It's inexpensive, so, if you want to err on the side of caution, go ahead and buy it but it'll only end up collecting dust on your desk.
Book Description
A user-friendly guide for managers, investors and students of business who want to be able to read, understand, interpret and use accounting information, without learning to be accountants. It describes in non-technical language everything a business person needs to know about how the numbers are created, what they mean and how they can be used.
