Product Description
For the last twenty years ecology, the last great political movement of the 20th century, has fired the imaginations not only of political activists but of popular movements throughout the industrialised world. EcoMedia is an enquiry into the popular mediations of environmental concerns in popular film and television since the 1980s. Arranged in a series of case studies on bio-security, relationships with animals, bioethics and biological sciences, over-fishing, eco-terrorism, genetic modification and global warming, EcoMedia offers close readings of Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings, Miyazake's Princess Mononoke, The Perfect Storm, X-Men and X2, The Day After Tomorrow and the BBC's drama Edge of Darkness and documentary The Blue Planet. Drawing on the thinking of Flusser, Luhmann, Latour, Agamben and Bookchin, EcoMedia discusses issues from whether animals can draw and why we like to draw animals, to how narrative films can imagine global processes, and whe! ther wonder is still an ethical pleasure. Building on the thesis that popular film and television can tell us a great deal about the state of contemporary beliefs and anxieties, the book builds towards an argument that the polis, the human world, cannot survive without a three way partnership with physis and techne, the green world and the technological.

Book Description
Tim Biskup was raised on Disneyland, Rat Fink, badly dubbed Japanese sci-fi flicks, punk rock, skateboarding, and underground comics - all influences on his manic style. In this collection of 30 removable full-color postcards displaying his clothing line, Gama-Go, subjects include spacemen orbiting around hooded sweatshirts, Godzilla monsters spewing fiery breath on T-shirts, and weiner dogs on leashes frolicking on cute shirts and baby tees. Biskup's images - seen on limited-edition posters and card sets - are highly collectible, and this card set should prove to be as well.

Fun, Cute-but-not-Sticky Cards.......2006-05-18
Super-fun postcards! I sent them to my daughters (9 and 13) at camp and they loved them. Really sharp and dramatic graphics - exactly what to send to someone who's probably not all that interested in your message, but likes to get something cool in the mail.
Book Description
32 oversized postcards featuring Deathbot, Ninja Kitty, Space Bat, Yeti, Giant Squid, The Shadow, and many more! All of these are rendered in the aggressive, graphic, colorful visual language that has defined GamaGo. Every product GamaGo makes is a limited edition of 250500 pieces, never to be repeated. Popular characters reoccur seasonally, but in different oneofakind designs. This collection of designs has been gleaned from hundreds of images created for GamaGo, from products ranging from Tshirts to handbags. Postcards are easily detached for stylish correspondence.

Wonderful Postcards!.......2006-11-11
This is an absolutely wonderful postcard book! The images are all large and vibrant, and the printing quality is superb. I usually have a lot of trouble finding postcards to send to friends and relatives, but these are all a lot of fun and everyone I've sent them to thinks they're great. I even took out the two that I liked best and framed them to put on my wall.

A collection of papers written in honor of Martin Gardner.......2004-04-30
Recreational mathematics is a broad subject, and the definition of what is recreational is open to interpretation. In this book, Klarner made some excellent choices of material to include. The main topics are:
* Games
* Geometry
* Two-Dimensional Tiling
* Three-Dimensional Tiling
* Fun and Problems
* Numbers and Coding Theory
The list of contributors includes some of the biggest names in mathematics. Richard K. Guy in mathematical games, Adi Shamir, Ronald L. Rivest and Leonard M. Adleman in secure messaging; Solomon W. Golomb and Howard Eves in geometry; Ronald Graham, Branko Grunbaum, G. C. Shephard, Raphael Robinson and H. M. S. Coxeter in tiling; Donald Knuth and Ross Honsberger in fun problems and Donald Knuth and Neil Sloane in numbers and coding theory. The level of difficulty is on the higher end of the spectrum, yet most of the papers can be understood if read carefully.
Martin Gardner has earned many accolades. This book demonstrates one of the highest, as it is a consequence of a quiet call for papers for a book to be published in his honor. The fact that so many high caliber mathematicians wrote so many high quality papers is a tribute that very few people could even hope for.

A Valuable Addition to the Gardner Canon.......2001-01-10
First, a small correction. This collection of mathematical essays was assembled as a tribute to Martin Gardner, on the occasion (20 years ago!) of his retirement. This book was not edited by Gardner, but it is in the same spirit (and the same size) as his "Mathematical Games" books of his Scientific American columns, so it does make a nice companion volume.
There are lots of good things in this book, but the best is Doris Schattschneider's essay "In Praise of Amateurs," on the ways of tiling the plane with convex pentagons. Does this sound like an incredibly arcane, useless subject? Well, I suppose it is, but it's also a delicious story, and this volume is the only place where I have seen it told in full. There are 13 essentially different ways to tile the plane with convex pentagons. Many of these beautiful patterns were discovered by Marjorie Rice, a San Diego housewife with only a high school education. Furthermore, she discovered these designs years after it was "proved" that there were only eight ways. If you thought the aperiodic Penrose tiling of the plane was a fascinating discovery, you will want to read this essay, admire these 13 patterns, and ideally find a fourteenth.
This essay alone is worth the price of the book. While the rest of the book is not quite up to its standard, it too is quite worthwhile. There are essays by Scott Kim, Donald E. Knuth, H.S.M. Coxeter, Solomon W. Golomb, and many others, all clearly illustrated. The section on 3-dimensional tiling is also quite cool.

Excellent book.......2007-09-17
I have passed my SCJP exam! The book was really helpful to either extend my java knowledge and helped me to passed the exam. I have spent about two months to prepare the exam and read this book about 3 times. Make sure you understand all the questions from inside out at the end of each chapter. I only used this book as my studying material (you would think that's risky, isn't it?) But it did work, although I did grabbed a few mock up exam from internet. But I didn't have much time to do those mock-ups, otherwise i may can do better in the exam. I got 88%.
Excellent! Rare book!.......2007-09-11
The book is written with such clarity, precision and humor that are rarely seen in the IT education. The authors have done fantastic job at presenting complex material in an easy yet concise fashion.
Great SCJP book!.......2007-09-06
This book has a very light language and go deep in Java language. I recommend it if you really want to be a Java 5 certified!
The best SCJP book.......2007-09-01
This is a 'must read' for everyone who intent to apply for the SCJP.
Worths the price.
Good for passing in the exam.......2007-08-22
As it proposes, you will be able to pass in the SCJP 5 exam if you decide to get this book.
A good book with a lot of exercises.
There are some error in the key section of two or three chapters. The mock exam is good as well but has some errors as the key section.
Well, I could pass in the exame with 86% of scoring.
I only got 10 questions answered on a wrong way of 72 questions.
Sorry for the poor English but I'm Brazilian.
I wish you all the best.
Good luck!
Product Description
How many different ways can a great technical book stand out from the pack? That s the question you ll be able to answer in spades, once you ve gone through
Cameron McKenzie s, SCJA Certification Study Guide.
Everyone one that puts their hands on the SCJA Certification Guide from www.scja.com comments on two things right away: 1) how entertaining the book is, and 2) how easy it is to read.
I couldn t believe it! I read through the first three chapters in one sitting, and those three chapters made me want to read three more! Those are the types of comments we are flooded with when people finally get their hands on their SCJA Certification Guide.
And there are very good reasons as to why this Java book is so readable, and so enjoyable, not the least of which is the fact that the entire book was written, from start to finish, by one, and only one, author. The one-author-book is a rarity in the technical world these days, but its significance can t be understated. From start to finish, the author makes the objective of this book clear to get the reader certified,
fast. With one, single, focused, author penning the pages, this book reads like a single, clear and contiguous thought. The fragmentation seen in so many books written by multiple authors is nowhere to be seen in this logical and free-flowing certification guide.
But not only is the book entertaining and easy to read, but it approaches Java, and the whole issue of approaching Java certification, from an entirely new perspective. Most people penning a book on Java would start the book by discussing syntax and code. But Cameron McKenzie refuses to fall into that old trap, instead, turning the SCJA Exam objectives on their head, by starting off with an in depth discussion the big picture issues, getting the reader excited about Java, and
enthusiastic about learning how the language works.
Customer Reviews:
This helped me pass the SCJA exam...Now to focus on SCJP!!!.......2007-09-12
I wrote a review for the Question book by the same author, SCJA Sun Certified Java Associate Exam Questions Guide by Cameron McKenzie Passing Exam CX-310-019so for more detail about why I wrote the SCJA exam, and what I thought about it, check my review there.
As for this book, it totally delivered to me what I needed to know to pass the exam. I had a bit of programming knowledge, but very little OOA and OOD knowledge. I also came from a C background, and my knowledge of Java related technologies, such as JSPs and J2EE, was nil. This book did the best job at helping you understand the big picture of Java, along with explaining the intricacies of OOA and OOD with Java. Actually, this had probalby the best overview of object oriented analysis and design that I've ever read. I highly recommend it, even if you're not taking the exam.
I might improve the Java syntax section. The book doesn't go overly in depth into Java coding, although neither does the exam, so I guess it makes sense.
Otherwise, this was a great book about Java, J2EE and OOA&D. These books were all I used to get certified, and if you want to pass as well, I'm pretty sure they're all you'll need too.
Good luck! It's a tough exam!
The BEST and an UNIQUE study guide for SCJA certification--------It's an EXCELLENT book!!!!.......2007-06-27
Iam new to java. I studied this book and became from zero to SCJA certified and it's more than enough to become certified in SCJA even with zero experience in Java. It's so informative and exam oriented book which made the exam easy. Author Cameron explained the concepts, exam objectives in a very simple, interesting manner such that we can grasp and remember the concepts easily even with little knowledge in Java. The great thing about this book is even complex J2EE objectives were framed in a simple manner so that a beginner can able to understand and get good scores. All question models for the exam were covered in the book. With the experience of this exam I would like to suggest that, This the best book to buy for SCJA exam and newcomers of Java should write this SCJA exam to get overview of complete java like what is java? What are the different technologies present in java? Where we use these java technologies? and basics of java.
It's the unique exam guide I ever suggest.
My Best wishes for all those who are going to take SCJA exam!!!
This book SHINES. Far and away the best Java or technology book I've ever read........2007-06-21
As a certification guide, this book is excellent. It covers all of the objectives, teaches you everything you need to know for the SCJA exam, and does it efficiently and fast, without wasting any time on superfluous topics.
As a preparation guide, there are hundreds of questions in here to give you a good idea of what to expect on the exam. The three fifteen questions were almost exactly the same as the actual exam I aced last week. I would suggest getting the SCJA Questions Book SCJA - The Exam Questions Simulated
from the same author though if you really want to be prepared for the exam. Doing questions over and over again really is the best final preparation you can do.
As far as being just an all around awesome book about Java and technology, that's where this book shines. It's funny, it's interesting, and it covers an incredibly amount of information about Java and modern day development, in a funny, refreshing, and often opinionated manner that really makes you think.
I usually re-sell my books on amazon after I'm done with them, but that won't happen here. I'm keeping this one, because I know I'm going to come back to it again
far and away the best coverage of OOA and OOD I've ever read. Great Java Book - More Than a Cert Guide!.......2007-06-15
I am totally passionate about recommending this book to people. It's more than just a certification guide - it's a great book about Java, J2EE, object oriented programming, and Java design.
I never really got interfaces before getting this book. I understood the basics of object oriented design, but didn't really understand the why, and more importantly, the why nots. Now I really undestand about the importance of interfaces, the dangers of inheritance, and the benefits of abstraction. The chapters on object design and UML are far and away the best I've ever read.
This book, along with the SCJA questions book were the only two resources I used to pass the exam, and they really are the only two resources you need. Totally worth it!
For loads of practice questions that are very similar to the exam, even more so than Sun's online exams, you should get this book:
SCJA - The Exam Questions Simulated - Hundreds of Mock Exam Questions and Expert Answers for the Sun Certified Java Associate Exam, from ExamScam.com - SCJA - The New, Pre - SCJP Certification
the best investment of time and money if you want to get Java certified.......2007-05-14
I'm still amazed at how much information was packed into this book. Not only did it cover every SCJA objective in detail, but it provides hundreds of mock exam questions to test you on how well you are retaining knowledge.
The book was incredibly easy to read, moreso than any other technical book I've ever read, and I've read lots! The book was also filled with opinion, and the occassional cynical comment that made you chuckle.
The mock exam at the end of the book, along with the three, fifteen question mock exams, were exactly like the actual exam, and gave me a better idea on what to expect than any other prep material I looked at.
There are lots of questions on the SCJA exam about client and server technologies. I recommend anyone attempting to take the SCJA exam to go over the first three chapters on client and server technologies, over and over again. Every question I got on the exam about client and server technologies was covered, in one way or another, in those sections. If you know those sections, you'll completely ace those sections of the exam, which covers about 40% of the test. With that much under your belt, you can afford to get a few wrong on the other sections, and still pass with an awesome score.
I also used the Exam Questions Book from the same publisher. It was extremely helpful. After doing about 500 sample questions, I was not only ready for the exam, but also somewhat numb as well.
Five stars!
Book Description
Best selling author, Paul Sanghera, offers cohesive, concise, yet comprehensive coverage of all the topics included in the Sun Certified Programmer for Java 5 exam (CX 310-055). With a laser sharp focus on the exam objectives, the Study Guide goes beyond just being an "exam cram." The material is presented in a logical learning sequence: a section builds upon previous sections and a chapter on previous chapters. All concepts, simple and complex, are defined and explained when they appear the first time. There is no hopping from topic to topic and no technical jargon without explanation. No prior knowledge of Java programming is assumed. The single most difficult aspect of this exam is to read and understand the code in the exam questions in a limited amount of time. To help you get fluent and comfortable with the code, the book offers complete runnable code examples distributed over all the chapters and a codewalk quicklet feature at the end of each chapter.
Although the primary purpose of the book is to help you pass the SCJP exam, it will also serve as a good reference after the exam.
Special features include
- Hundreds of questions modeled after the real exam with fully explained answers.
- A complete practice exam with questions modeled after the real exam and fully explained answers.
- Hundreds of complete runnable code examples, explained in the book, that you can download and experiment with. This is a code-intensive exam.
- The Codewalk Quicklet feature based on the process-based codewalk philosophy to prepare you for efficient response to the code-based questions in the exam.
- The Exam Quick Prep feature which recaps all the important points for the last hour of preparation before taking the exam.
- Useful information and analysis for the programmers who are considering updating the J2SE 1.4 certification to J2SE 5.
Customer Reviews:
Very good book.......2007-07-25
In the beginning of the year, Java equals "null" to me ( I know C/C++). I decided to learn the language and take the SCJP as a measure of my learning. I tried the Deitel book but didn't like it. Then I started to read the Kathy Sierra book, but they assume you know the basics (not my case). Due to the comments of one of the reviewers, I bought this book and liked it very much. I read it twice, tried all examples, fragments and tests and then went back to the Sierra book, which is more comprehensive (it is a much bigger book), has better explanations of generics and threads and has more tricky questions. I was able to pass the SCJP exam this month thanks to these two very good books.
I do not give 5 stars due to the presence of several typos and some other minor errors in the text. These errata are not yet in the book site, but as you are studying for the exam, you will spot then when you compile or cross-check with the SUN Java documentation. But these are a small nuisance considering the overall value of the book.
Helpful Starting Point.......2007-07-12
This was the only book I bought and I passed the cert. I found the book to be generally good. I felt a couple of the examples were poor. For instance on page 141 the finding the area of different shapes, a classic example of where one should use polymorphism, the book provides an example of overloading operators. Yes, in the sense the code is "correct" but I find the misuse to be confusing. There are a number of items including some questions in the review exam that are just wrong. That is if you type the code in and run it you don't get what the book claims that you should. These do not seem numerous and I have not found any certification material that is without this sort of problem. The reality of preparing for the test is that if someones answer doesn't make sense you have to test it for yourself. It would be nice if publishers would hire someone to go cut and paste all of the code into a compiler and find this stuff.
More importantly there is not enough material on generics and there is only ONE practice exam.
Having complained I should and that the text is readable and helpful in preparing for the cert. I found it to be a good starting point for my preparations.
The Best SCJP Study Guide and Java 5 Book to Learn Java.......2007-04-23
I have just passed the SCJP for J2SE 5 exam largely after preparing from this book. However, to be on the safe side it might be good idea to consider using more than one resource to prepare for this exam, because the exam is certainly not a walk in the park. I have read all the three SCJP for Java 5 study guides from cover to cover. So I would like to share my experience with these study guides in the context of both the exam and learning Java:
"SCJP Exam for J2SE 5" (this book) by Paul Sanghera.
I found this Study Guide the best among all, especially for the beginners. As another reviewer said the author has the unique approach of saying only what is necessary. He also has the skill of making difficult concepts easy to understand without compromising accuracy. The material is organized in such a manner that we also learn Java while preparing for the Exam. Because everything is explained from scratch, and there is no hopping from topic to topic, this book is especially suitable for the beginners. Here are some features in the book that I especially liked:
* All concepts are clearly defined and explained by using visuals where necessary. It makes this book self-contained.
*Tons of code examples explained in the book, which I downloaded from the book website and experimented with them to build confidence.
* The Exam Quick Prep appendix. I went through this just before the exam to refresh all the important points quickly.
* Exam's Eye View, Caution, and Notes throughout all chapters, which re-enforced important points.
* An appendix that provides useful information and analysis for those who are considering updating the J2SE 1.4 certification to J2SE 5.
If you are a beginner, this is your book. If you are an advanced Java programmer, this book will still take you through the exam without boring you.
Bottom line: I agree with another reviewer that books like these are hard to find.
"SCJP for Java 5" by Kathy Sierra and Bert Bates.
This is a good book for advanced Java programmers, but rather over-hyped. If you are planning to buy two books to prepare for the SCJP exam, this is the second book I will recommend. However, this is NOT the book for the beginners. If you do not have intensive Java programming experience, do not use this book as your first book. If you want to use this book, first study Sanghera's book.
"Complete Java 2 Certification" by Phil Heller and Simon Roberts.
If you want to buy three SCJP for Java 5 study guides, this is the third one I will recommend. It does not do justice with some of the exam objectives. Overall exam coverage is not that great, but you will learn some Java topics.
Get Up to Speed in Java in Preparation for the SCJP1.5 Exam!.......2007-04-16
This certification study-resource from Author: Paul Sanghera is a great tool for quickly getting up to speed in java with a view to taking the java programmer exam! As someone who recently succeeded at the SCJP 1.5 exam, i can vouch for this book. The following review is thus for those interested in preparing for the exam and not quite sure whether this book is the right tool for the job.
As a green-horn in Java, I found the following 2 exam-study resources very useful in learning how to program in java, and taking the Sun Certified Java Programmer for J2SE5 certification:
(Book 1.) SCJP Exam for J2SE 5. - (SCJP E5)
(Book 2.) SCJP Study Guide. - (SCJP SG)
Note: (due to review real-estate constraints, i shall limit this review to (Book 1) ie: [SCJP E5 (Sanghera)] -( the current book in question). you'll find a (Book 2) review on the customer review page for : SCJP SG
Like most new-comers to java, I wanted to get-up to speed in java rather quickly. Therefore, the (SCJP E5) book from Sanghera was chosen as the first reading-reference, as it seemed concise, compact & condensed. However, if i had to do things-over, and choose which one book to use in order to scale the SCJP 1.5 exam -(whilst learning the Java language as well), I'd pick the [SCJP SG] from Sierra & Bates.
Here's why...
About the (SCJP E5) book : this book is great for beginners. i found that it brought me up to speed quickly Re: java, as well as preparing for the exam. However, unless you have previous knowledge & experience coding in java, you might need another book for deeper clarity and more rigor regarding 5 SCJP1.5 exam-objective related areas, viz:
(1.) - Generics
(2.) - Threading
(3.) - I/O + Regular Expressions + Parsing
(4.) - Packages + Jar Files & Static Imports
(5.) - Exceptions
Note that: while the 5 exam-objectives above are quite well treated in the (SCJP E5) Sanghera book, I found that the (SCJP SG) Sierra & Bates book, provided the finer level of details that i believe a beginner might further require in order to have a better grasp Re: these 5 exam-objectives cited above (AND) (the questions in the real exam do require this further finesse with those details).
Otherwise, with the material in this book alone and without any hands-on experience, i reckon, a beginner might struggle a bit to pass the real exam by a comfortable margin.
and this is why i cant give the book alone all 5 points of credit. (I would however award 4.5 points!)
Upon completing the book, any access to good exam-revision practise material would be very useful in order to pass at the exam-level. while the (SCJP E5) book features useful questions and answers at the end of every chapter, as well as a further round of 73 questions in Appendix-D of the book; I believe people preparing for the exam would find it useful to seek out further resources for exam-question practise & revision purposes .
As review-space is short, i shall include below only 2 of the exam-revision resources which really helped prepare for the actual exam (for details Re: The other key resource used, u might want to refer to the customer review posting for (Book 1): SCJP SG
u might want to check these out:
(1.) "Tiger notes" on JavaRanch. look under the SCJP FAQ section for : [Mikalai Zaikin's SCJP Tiger notes ]. You can get a paperback copy of notes similar to these on Amazon if you prefer. lookup: Java 1.5 Tiger. However, i'd advise that you use it only as a prep-extra, just to cross-check certain topical-details you may need to clarify ie: (java: "Exceptions"). I wouldn't recommend it as your sole & unique study guide.[ kittybooboo's notes ] on JavaRanch are also quite good.
(2.) Turn to a SCJP Group for advice on the forums. They represent people in the same boat as those trying to prepare for and pass the SCJP exam. here are 2 such groups you can join.(Yahoogroups): Google: [" tech groups yahoo + scjp5" ]; (Another is): Google:[ "jchq + net" ] (-OR-) if you are preparing for the SCJP 1.4:( scjp 1.4 groups ) : Google:[ "uk groups yahoo + java_balk" ] ps: a good book for SCJP 1.4 is :A Programmer's Guide to Java Cert
(3:) refer to my customer review posting for (Book 1) ie: SCJP Study Guide
Schedule, Sit and Ace the exam in 2hrs:55mins, when you've finished with these various exam-practise questions and study-guides.
The exam is comprised of 72 questions of which several are fashioned as drag & drop coding-scenario questions. Although, the pass mark is 59%, I think most people -(myself included!), view the exam as tough, because of its code intensive nature. I think reading, tackling & spotting possible coding errors in code-samples 6-30 lines long is tough under such time-constrained exam conditions, Plus, No credit is given for partial answers. However, on the up-side, it is do-able with the appropriate revision preparation regime.
Curiously, in comparison, the previous SCJP exam ie: the SCJP 1.4 exam, is comprised of 61 questions , for which one has 2hrs to complete. Plus, the pass mark is 52%. That exam, is generally deemed to be an easier exam compared with the SCJP 1.5 exam; at least so attests certain in the user-community on JavaRanch.
for those wondering, i took the SCJP 1.5 exam on March 19th 2007. the passing-score achieved was: 98% ie: (71 out of 72 questions ). The pass-mark is 59%.
Good Luck!
next stops: SCBCD, SCWCD, SCEA, SCJWSD.
Cheers :-)
Great Book.......2007-04-08
Passed the exam on the first try after primarily preparing from this book. Very well organized...I learned Java while preparing for the exam...The exam is of course not a walk in the park...However, this book helped...Concise, to the point, and perfect flow...There are actually much fewer typos in this book than in the other SCJP exam book that I have...I love the author's style...he has a way of making difficult concepts easy to understand, and yet stay accurate... Will get you through the exam...but also good to just learn Java.
