Clean out and Beware of Bogus reviewing..........2007-09-10
Why Can't Amazon start cleaning out all the obviously bogus reviews written by the writers hired-reviewers and friends. Read the only other 2 reviews below that DONT have 5-stars. A good one below from December 31, 2005 is titled: "Another Music Lawyer, Another Book to Milk the Hopeful Masses, December 31, 2005
By Anna Lee".
good could be better!.......2006-05-27
this book can have alot of atachments to it to make it the book you think it is but i usggest getting a totally differant book. such as the ty cohen series and his book "How To Make A Furtune In The Music Industry By Doing It Yourself: Your Personal Step-By-Step Guide To Having A Successful Career In The Music Business. ... To Sell Music, Book Shows And Get Noticed!"
Lots of information.......2006-05-19
The digital revolution is here and the music industry is one of the oldest to have adopted this new way of communicating, always refining it's technique music producing and promoting has become one of the biggest buzz on the internet, attracting many people and giving more chances to "small" people. A good well written book with sufficient information but if you want more presented in an even more interesting way than you should check out "The New Music Industry: How to Use the Power of the Internet to Multiply Your Industry Exposure, Fan Base and Income Potential Online!" By Ty Cohen a book that will open up the potential for online business in the music industry.
A very informational, well-written book.......2006-05-15
This is an excellent book, which clarifies many complicated issues that you might have had just a basic understanding of before. Almost everything about digital music is made clear, and you will have a better idea of where the music industry is headed after you read this book. However if you're looking for a more entrepreneurial approach to internet music, I suggest reading "The New Music Industry: How to Use the Power of the Internet to Multiply Your Industry Exposure, Fan Base and Income Potential Online!" by Ty Cohen. You will find it more suited to your tastes if you're looking to become famous by way of the internet.
The book to Get.......2006-04-21
I highly recommend this book to gain greater insights in the future of music and how you can intergrate some of this information into your current business or research.it was a great buy along with a manual I purchased from Musicbrains.net entitled the Indie label Kit.

How The Wedge Predicted the Obfuscation of its Opponents.......2006-06-22
Many Darwinists gloat over having supposedly exposed the allegedly secretive "Wedge project." What they never acknowledge (or realize) is that Phillip Johnson openly discussed the full meaning of the "Wedge" in this book years before the widespread internet circulation of the supposedly super secret "Wedge document," which summarized many of the points in this book in order to clarify for our supporters the important cultural implications of the battle over intelligent design, and explain the importance of forging ahead by calling attention to the growing body of scientific evidence for design in nature.
In his introduction, Johnson explains that naturalism, materialism, and modernism aim to remove any support for belief in a personal God who acted with free will to create and sustain the universe. This philosophical assumption forms the bedrock for the belief that plants and animals arose through undirected and purposeless evolutionary processes, and that humans are therefore just another animal, not created in the image of God.
The curtain of naturalistic philosophy today places a stranglehold over not only the fields of science, but also of literature, psychology, and law. Academics remain committed to naturalism as an explanation for all phenomena regardless of the facts. Johnson's strategy is to expose where naturalism is deficient in its explanations in scientific fields such as paleontology, genetics, and biology. This book outlines the various areas where the "Wedge strategy" is producing viable academic thought to challenge naturalism.
But the Wedge strategy can be countered, Johnson writes, and the Darwinists know how: through obfuscation by focusing on irrelevancies. "Dogmatism thrives by obfuscation, especially by giving the impression that the really important questions should not be asked." (pg. 16) Thus, according to Johnson, "If we in the Wedge have an enemy, it is not those in open and honest opposition to our proposals but rather the obfuscators--those who resist any clear definition of terms or issues, who insist that the ruling scientific organizations be obeyed without question and who are content to paper over logical contradictions with superficial compromises." (pg. 17)
The enemies of the Wedge are thus those who focus on side issues such as the religious beliefs and alleged motivations of Darwin doubters rather than inviting honest discussion of the evidence. Ironically, the Darwinists' current obsession with contents of this book -- the "Wedge strategy"--is proof that Johnson was right.
incoherent.......2006-01-11
Interesting how this book is by a professor of law
and the book starts with chapter one laying down
a guilt trip for thinking differently. Not too dissimilar
to socially engineering a jury to take your side out of guilt
during a courtroom opening statement perhaps.
Chapter 2 is really where all of the Darwinian Evolution
objections are laid out. Which could roughly be summed up as..
1)DNA contains information, information can only come from
intelligence, so there must be a god/intelligent designer.
2)Meaningful information sequences + mindless repetition
can not equate into meaningful information or enhancement
of information.
3) He calls for examples of information increase or
enhancement. (Can't seem to say decisively)
+1) Johnson works the 'information challenge' as if life
was only information. What he fails to mention is that life
is about having function that serves that life form.
Function can come about randomly, and information and meaning
are derived from that function. Life did not start with DNA
and a huge set of information, it started with one self serving
function that aided in the replication of a form(now life-form)
over others.
Johnson makes numerous mentions of 'natural selection' and
'mutation' but makes no mention of the fact that 99% of our
genome is junk and not information. Also without mention
is 'cumulative selection'. Instead he manipulates an analogy
Dawkins makes to hide from the power 'cumulative selection'
has on turning useless bits of junk, in to a structure with
function and derived meaningful information.
+2) This point is completely ignorant and shows that hes writing
in a field he has little experience with. Information can be
enhanced by 'mindless repetition governed by invariable laws'.
For example, Delimiters.
AMAZONBOOKS2000INTELLIGENTDESIGNJOHNSON
or
AMAZON,BOOKS,2000,INTELLIGENTDESIGN,JOHNSON
(This alphanumeric string is meaningless unless it can
serve a function. Once the function is understood it can
serve as something truely informative ie. information)
Mindlessly repetitive delimiters ',' contain no actual
information, but enhances the information set by providing a
function, fault tolerance.
+3)He calls for examples of information increase or
enhancement,without being clear on which, and that there
is a differance between increase and enhancement.
This call for evidence is shown to be increasingly pointless by
his inablity to ask for what type of 'information increase'
such as..
total information capacity, % of capacity used, or
true(compressed) % of capacity used.
or to say genetically..
genome size, # of genes, or # of active genes
--
The last part of the book is a feeble attempt at trying to
now link this 'information design theory' directly to the Bible,
which I surprising found to contain no argument for. Johnson
must assume his negation of Darwinism leaves the Bible as the
only logical alternative so why bother the reader with an
argument he/she should feel guilty at disagreeing with (makes
lots of references to Chapter 1 at this point, tap into that
guilt!).
This book does however serve a good purpose, that of
pointing out how scientific understanding can be manipulated
and the weak points in the education of that scientific
understanding.
A fine work of social engineering at the least.

Please be realistic about science........2005-12-31
A friend of mine works for an petrochemical exploration company. They specialize in determining potential locations of oil deposits by drilling cores into layers of sedimentary deposits and looking at the evolutionary sequences of micro-fossils which were accumulated millions of years ago on ancient sea-floors. Oil (and coal) deposits formed when decaying plant matter became buried under sediments and underwent subsequent chemical alteration. The plant material requires millions of years to be converted into oil or coal. (They're called fossil fuel for a reason, you know.) When you analyze a drill core sample, and if you find particular micro-fossils of species that only lived during a certain geological age that corresponds to the age when oil deposits formed, then you might be in an area where oil can be found. Her company gets contacts from huge oil companies to help them make multi-billion dollar decisions on where to drill for oil based partly on the information obtained by looking at micro-fossils. Oil companies have been doing this for decades. Don't believe me. Find out for yourself. Search the internet for websites about oil exploration micropaleontology. Next time you fill your tank, consider the role evolution played in both the creation and the discovery of the gas you're pumping into your car. I own stock in the company my friend works for and have made some nice returns on it.
I also have a relative who works for a medical research institute that uses DNA analysis to find out how viruses and genetic defects cause disease. He's working on therapies for several types of cancer. They use genetic mutations and evolutionary histories of diseases to understand how cells, viruses and diseases operate. They've already had success with some drugs and I've made money off of a drug company's stock as a result. The science is way over my head. However, based on the logic of this book, you have to conclude that genetic mutations can't be studied with any certainty because it seems they can occur only if and when God wants them to. I don't know how I'll be able to break it to him but I guess someone will have to tell him that his research is simply a waste of time. I know that seems at odds with the fact I've made money off the stock market . . . but Phillip Johnson wants me to have an open mind after all, and, let's face it, he's so much smarter than these people.
I can't imagine how insulting it must be to intelligent, dedicated, highly educated, hard working, honest, professional people like these, who use the principles of evolution in their day to day work, in billion dollar industries, for them to hear people say that evolution didn't happen or that it is just an ideology. (I should sell the stock in these companies soon, before they crash when word gets out that evolution is a myth.) Folks, there is a tremendous amount of information supporting evolution. In all honesty, it is downright silly to contend at this point that living things have not evolved over the eons. It is simply a fact of life. It is not a religious belief or an opinion. I urge you to truly inform yourselves about evolution from sources other than creationists or IDers or whatever they call themselves. Look at the depth and detail of information supporting evolution. There are many websites about it. Check them out. Look at some professional research journals on subjects related to biology, geology, palenotology, etc. Ask yourself, "Can this tremendous amount of detailed information accumulated by researchers for hundreds of years really be fake or incorrect?" "Are all the thousands of highly intelligent, highly educated people around the world who are currently conducting research on evolution, as well as those using it in their daily work, all wrong?" "Would scientists at the most prestigious universities in the world really deliberately lie about this?" "Why would they risk being caught in a lie and ruin their professional careers?" Please, be realistic about science. And, by the way, you can be Christian and fully accept evolution. I do. So do the friend and relative I mentioned above. Of course, I guess we're just closed-minded.
Unconvincing.......2005-12-24
Science is about making deductions from factual evidence. It has no means of explaining anything that is supernatural.
However, religion requires the belief in supernatural forces and at least one supernatural being.
That DOES NOT mean religion is wrong, it just means it is a different subject matter than science and therefore DOES NOT belong in a science classroom.
You wouldn't expect English literature, music, history and other such subjects to be taught in a science classroom. Neither should religious beliefs. I, for one, am perfectly happy to have my religious beliefs kept out of science classrooms. I don't need science to tell me there is a God. I don't need - or want - my religious beliefs to force science to be conducted in a certain way. Quite frankly, anyone who feel that the honest teaching of science is a threat to their religious beliefs is someone who has great doubts about their religious beliefs!
Garbage........2005-12-14
Evolution is supported by mountains and mountains of documented, irrefutable evidence from educated, professional, intelligent people who have simply followed the course of where their research took them. It's no longer about one guy who wrote one book in the mid-1800's. Not any more. Inform yourselves, people. I challenge anyone reading this to actually investigate how much supporting research there is out there for evolution in science, in astronomy, biology geology and physics. It's overwhelming. Check out some web sites from some universities and research institutes to get an idea of how research is being done on evolution all over the world. Do you think they're all in a conspiracy, and that they're just making it all up?

Book Description
This is the first introduction to rhythm and meter that begins where students are: as speakers of English familiar with the rhythms of the spoken word, nursery rhymes, song and rap. Poetic Rhythm builds on this knowledge and experience, moving from basic questions about the rhythms of spoken English to the elaborate achievements of past and present poets. Terminology is straightforward and there are frequent practical exercises. Poetic Rhythm will help readers of English poetry experience and enjoy its power, subtlety and diversity, and will serve as an invaluable tool for those who write or discuss poetry in English.

Poetic Rhythm: an Introduction.......2000-08-15
Derek Attridge radically changed my thinking about poetry and prosody. I have been reading, writing and teaching poetry for many decades and have always felt intuitively that the ideas expressed in this book were correct though unfortunately I lacked the vocabulary to describe them. Speaking as both poet and teacher, I found this book a liberation. Anyone interested in the art of poetry should inhale this book.
A very informative book on rhythm.......1999-04-06
This book starts at the dirt basics of poetic rhythm and scansion and works its way up. It tells about the nitty-gritty in different kinds of meters, and it's helpful for learning what to use rhythm for in poetry (heightened language, etc).
This is the single best book on reading poetry I have found........1999-03-11
Attridge is a careful and helpful reader of English poetry. This book, one of several he has written on the subject, is both elementary and profound. The field is fraught with difficulties and ambiguities, but Attridge sensibly avoids the silly stuff. He provides a helpful summary with each chapter, and numerous exercises that are both instructive and enjoyable. This is the kind of book one feels ought to mark a turning point in the study of prosody. If others may be persuaded to adopt his system of scansion, the field will be enormously rejuvenated. Having read it, one returns to earlier work by Fussell, Gross, Hartman and others wishing they might revise their books accordingly. In any case, the book is spirited, wide-ranging, and important.
If you love poetry, you MUST own this book!!.......1998-03-19
This is absolutely the best book on poetic rhythm I have ever read. You must posess this book if you are, as I am, a student of poetry who wishes to get a feel for how rhythm actually works in English verse. Attridge makes it clear from the start that if you speak English, then you have all the tools you need to understand how rhythm works because you already use those tools whenever you speak. Through numerous examples and exercises you will learn to focus on what you natually do when you read a poem and how it affects the way you understand it. You will find (as I did) that Attridge's distinction between stress verse and sylable stress verse clears up a lot of confusion. There's even a chapter on the rudiments of phrasal anaylsis that will, in my opnion, have you thinking like an expert in no time. I've read the book twice in three weeks I enjoyed it so much. Get the book!

Book Description
Among civilization's strangest monuments are the huge stone circles built in the British Isles and northwest France between 6,500 and 3,500 years ago. Ignored or plundered for centuries, it is only in recent times that they have begun to reveal their remarkable complexity.
It is now widely acknowledged that those ancient sites were aligned precisely according to major celestial events and most likely linked to the agricultural calendar of early farming settlements. But a mystery remains: How did those megalithic builders achieve such extraordinary accuracy in their measurements?
Inspired by the surveying work of Alexander Thom, Anne Macaulay devoted her life to investigating stone circle sites, seeking out their hidden geometry and deeper cultural significance. She drew on ideas from geometry and metrology, archaeology and anthropology, history and mythology, as well as astronomy and music.
Macaulay concludes that the extraordinary mathematical skills of the British megalithic builders was original and self-contained—and eventually, the elite of that society became the "proto-Greeks" as their knowledge flowed toward the Eastern Mediterranean.
This well-researched study shines a light into the hidden secrets of a distant past.

Product Description
This is the autobiography of a master musician, the King of British blues saxophone. In the 60s and 70s Dick was the cornerstone of such seminal R&B bands as Alexis Korner s Blues Incorporated, the Graham Bond Organisation, John Mayall's Bluesbreakers and Colosseum, paving the way for R&B-influenced rock groups like Fleetwood Mac, the Yardbirds, the Animals and the Rolling Stones. With his pithy humour, Dick describes the revolutionary founding years of British R&B - his anecdotes about Ginger Baker, Alexis Korner, Charlie Watts and the unforgettable Graham Bond alone are worth the price. An extraordinarily entertaining book, Dick's unrelentingly honest account of his musical career also reflects on what it takes to be a full time musician, and grapples with the racism and drug abuse endemic in the music industry. In the back of the book is a CD featuring 25 minutes of previously unreleased tracks by Dick Heckstall-Smith, illustrating the sheer musical diversity of his work.
Customer Reviews:
A truly cool dude!!.......2005-02-23
Anyone remotely familiar with the British blues scene of the 60s and 70s will have heard Dick Heckstall-Smith, whether you are aware of his name or not. I'm halfway through this book and...what a treat! In his own words, Dick recounts his personal history as a musician growing up in the British Jazz scene of the 50s and the blues rock period of the 60s and beyond. In the process, he writes a veritable history of the British blues. Why? Because he was present during many of the key episodes of that history. In addition to his musical insight, DHS shares some stories of the road which sound so impossible that they just have to be true. Standouts are the tale of the "homemade stew", Jack Bruce's introduction to him and Ginger Baker's attempt to drive in a blinding snowstorm. The tales of his tenure in the Graham Bond ORGANization are worth the price of admission alone. DHS was a wonderful musician, inquisitive human being and a true ambassador of the British jazz/blues scene. This is a must read book. Rest is peace Dick.
Covers fifty years of playing British blues.......2004-09-09
Most blues guides focus on American blues music: Dick Heckstall-Smith and Pete Grant's Blowing The Blues covers fifty years of playing British blues, includes cd with previously unreleased tracks, and provides insights into blues saxophone to accompany a blend of autobiography and British blues history. Add cartoons by Biff making comments on the life of a blues musician and you have a honest survey of the music scene of the British blues world.

Book Description
This is a clear and accessible account of early Germanic alliterative verse that explains how such verse was treated by the Beowulf poet. There are differences of poetic style between Beowulf and the otherwise similar verse of ancient Scandinavia and continental Europe. Such distinctions have intrigued scholars for over a century, but Russom is the first to provide a systematic explanation of Old English, Old Norse, Old Saxon and Old High German alliterative meters. Russom's results should interest scholars of Old English and related Germanic languages, as well as linguists and those concerned with poetic meter.

Book Description
Matthew Campbell explores the work of four Victorian poets--Tennyson, Browning, Hopkins and Hardy--in the context of their concern with questions of human agency and will. Through close study of meter, rhyme and rhythm, Campbell reveals how closely, for these poets, questions of poetics are related to issues of psychology, ethics and social change. He goes on to discuss more general questions of poetics, from Milton through Romanticism and into contemporary critical debate, making a major contribution to the current renewal of interest in formalist readings of poetry.
Download Description
In Rhythm and Will in Victorian Poetry, Matthew Campbell explores the work of four Victorian poets - Tennyson, Browning, Hopkins and Hardy - as they show a consistent and innovative concern with questions of human agency and will. The Victorians saw the virtues attendant upon a strong will as central to themselves and to their culture, and Victorian poetry strove to find an aesthetic form to represent this sense of the human will. Through close study of the metre, rhyme and rhythm of a wide range of poems - including monologue, lyric and elegy - Campbell reveals how closely technical questions of poetics are related, in the work of these poets, to issues of psychology, ethics and social change. He goes on to discuss more general questions of poetics, and the implications of the achievement of the Victorian poets in a wider context, from Milton through Romanticism and into contemporary critical debate.

I'm a Dummy at the First Try.......2003-11-14
My 8th edition just arrived which I ordered because my new XP from Dell arrived with WordPerfect 11, and it was overwhelming. I started at the beginning by trying to follow the directions to create an icon. Page 8, jumpstarting WordPerfect's directions were not working. Why it said to right-click the WordPerfect Office 11 option when I wanted WordPerfect is beyond me, but I followed the directions. The pop-up menu appeared, displaying this list of commands:
technical support
clipbook
Perfect expert
Quattro Pro
Word Perfect.
The #3 direction said: Choose Copy from the list.
There was no copy in the list.
I could not sleep all night failing at the first direction. I woke up this morning and grabbed my book:Easy Windows XP Home Edition in full color by Shelley O'Hara and Kate Shoup Welsh by Que and went to page 216.
They said 1. "After you've located the program file for which you want to create a shortcut icon, right click it.
2. In the menu that opens, choose Send To, and then select Desktop.
This actually was there. It worked. I have an icon on my desktop. It works.
I hope the other directions will be better. I had the fear of failure and "dummy" at the first step.
