Elvis Unseen Archives.......2003-04-16

Every Elvis Presley fan should own this book. Pictures on every page,colour and black and white, and many unseen photographs.My daughter just bought herself a copy, and now I have to get one too.
Great Book!

Good and Bad.......2003-01-22

Very nice layout of pictures both color and B&W. High quality shots. Some very common pictures but also filled with "new" pictures previously unpublished. The compliants I see are that there are captions inside pictures covering up parts of the pictures, this is annoying. Also the author didn't check the facts right. There are many errors in these captions when talking about Elvis and his life. But this book is mainly about the pictures, a great coffee table book!

intimate friends.......2007-10-03

This book is a musthave for elvis-lovers. The subtle way his personal belongings were photographed is beautiful and respectful. Looking at the still lifes, I became silent. It feels like being a real close and intimate friend of Elvis', Elvis the man, not the King...

Elvis the personal Archives.......2007-01-21

First I guess it would be important to say that I've been an Elvis fan for about 30 something years. So the low rating is not because I'm one of those out to bash the King etc. Far from it. I absolutely treasure him and have many thousands of dollars worth of books and memorabilia. With that out of the way, I expected this book to be full of rare, never before seen pics of Elvis's prized possessions etc, like his crayon box from grade school, Graceland contract etc. Boy was I disapointed! There are a few pictures of his shirts, handguns, badges and ID cards and some other minor items. Some I've seen before and thats it! Just a few. It seems the layout of the book was intended to be more of a modern art project than any real look at the King's many possessions. You're better off buying an Elvis auction guide. Much better layout, presentation and jam packed with photos of his personal items etc. You can still find them available on Ebay. Hope this helps.

visual storytelling.......2006-04-09

i found this book a real visual treasure.the story this book tells through images,i found so engaging.the composition of each page brought me into the story.not only the physical images of elvis,but the images of things he spent money on,things he spent time with and the places that were so important in his life.it allowed me to sense the many contradictions that made elvis who he was,rather than being told in someone elses words.i thoroughly enjoyed this visual journey and have already shared it with others as a gift.i hope others enjoy it as well.thanks,phil strahan

Neat record of some of Elvis' belongings........2006-03-11

This book has pics of some of Elvis' belongings I have never seen before which is very interesting. However, it is a little artsy and not as big as I expected from the title.

Artful and poignant reflection on the King.......2006-02-16

A well-designed collection of Elvis Presley imagery. Some are skillfully appropriated collages, some are simply gritty recordings of what was left behind. The author's technique reveals a body of work that embraces the fading and brittle nature of his subjects, sometimes amplifying and augmenting the effects of time on these artifacts. This is not your average Presley memorabilia book, but a thoughtful meditation that artfully illustrates both the boundless legend and peculiar idiosyncrasy of one of the most remarkable American icons.

A fascinating and engrossing biographical tour .......2004-12-09

The Elvis Archives is a biography of famous popular culture singer Elvis Aron Presley (1935-1977), that presents the facts of his life illustrated with over 100 rare or exclusive black-and-white photographs. An absolute must-have for fans of the King, The Elvis Archives is an objectively written, nonjudgemental account that paints a vivid picture of a brilliant and charismatic yet sadly flawed human being's life. A fascinating and engrossing biographical tour of a modern-day legend.

The Elvis Archives.......2004-11-16

The Elvis Archives details the life of Elvis Presley. Decades since his passing on August 16, 1977, people are still intrigued and enamoured by the King. In fact, Elvis has become part of our cultural experience. In this way, if you asked any person on the street today (young or old) who was Elvis Presley, he or she would more than likely suddenly act out his or her best Elvis impression. I doubt you'd get that kind of immediate reaction to questions about any other influential figure, dead or alive. Simply put, Elvis was one of a kind and his influence in our music and culture will be felt for generations yet to come.

The Elvis Archives contains two important features. The first characteristic of this book is that it tells the complete story of Elvis' life. This aspect will allow future generations to understand who Elvis Presley was, why he captured so many people's hearts, and how he became the King. This book is particularly thorough in this respect and includes a good deal about Elvis before he was a star.

The second feature of this book is that it contains a large number of rare and previously unpublished photographs of Elvis. Though these photographs tend to be replicated black and white prints, the printed quality is extremely good. A few of the photographs even include Elvis' autograph as collected by the writers of this book. Diehard fans of Elvis will find these photographs invaluable.

Why do they print rubbish like this.......2003-08-29

Indeed, why do they. What rubbish. Is it just me but it seem that anyone can write a book about Elvis, even if they just saw him once buying a hamburger!

Will EPE please stop this rubbish getting published and give us all a rest. It doesn't tell us anything new, it doesn't give any insight into the man and is just making a quick buck for his "cousin" Earl.

Spare us this rubbish, please.

GREAT! ALL ASPECTS POINT TO "WHITNESS PROTECTION PROGRAM".......1999-03-26

WE ALL KNOW THAT ELVIS WAS HELPING NIXON WITH THE DRUG WAR. IF I READ MANY ITEMS RIGHT, HE WAS A PERFECT TARGET FOR THE UNDERGROUND, MAFIA, ETC. SINCE HE WAS THE MOST TALKED ABOUT, THE MOST RECONIZEABLE PERSON ON THIS EARTH, SOMETHING HAD TO BE DONE. HE HELPED CAPTURE MANY DRUG LORDS, AND WHEN SOMEONE DOES THIS, THE DRUG LORDS SEND OUT HIT MEN. I STILL BELIEVE TODAY, THAT HE IS ALIVE AND WELL IN THE PROGRAM. THERE'S TO MANY UN-ANSWERED QUESTIONS, AND TO MANY STONES UNTURNED!! IT WOULDN'T BE HARD TO HAVE HIM AS AN ELVIS IMPERSONATER! THAT'S JUST MY OPINION. AN EXAMPLE IS...HIS $1,000,000 INSURANCE IS STILL NOT CASHED IN..HOUND DOG #2 (THE PLANE) STILL MAKES SECRET FLIGHTS AT NIGHT..THE HOME IS STILL VERY SECLUDED. CURTAINS SHUT, ROOMS OFF LIMIT, THE COFFIN WEIGHING OVER 800 POUNDS, WHEN HHE WAS IN THE COFFIN, THAT WAS NOT THE OLDER ELVIS, AND NO MORGUE CAN DO THAT MUCH FANTASTIC WORK!! I GUESS THAT'S IT. I REALLY WOULD LOVE TO HAVE HIM ALIVE TODAY, AND ENTER THE MUSIC SCEENE!! ALSO..PRISCILLA WASN'T THAT UPSET, IT LOOKED LIKE A "FAKE" FACE. EVEN LISA..THE FBI DOCUMENTS TONS OF INFORMATION ABOUT ELVIS BEING A "SECRET" AGENT FROM TIME TO TIME..I READ THE BOOK OVER, AND OVER AGAIN. EVERYTIME I READ IT, I FIND FACTS THAT I MISSED THE FIRST TIME.----ANYWAY-----ELVIS ROCKS AND HE BRINGS MANY PEOPLE, "WORLD-WIDE" TOGETHER!! AND THAT'S A GREAT THING!! THANKS FOR READING THIS!!

Book Description

"Eve's Seed is a bestseller waiting to be discovered: a package of sex, science, and species' vanity nicely wrapped in sparkling prose."--Joyce Appleby, Los Angeles Times

Download Description

In this provocative reinterpretation of the human experience, noted historian Robert S. McElvaine bridges the gap between evolutionary biology and history to create a new approach he terms "biohistory". Here for the first time he presents a startlingly fresh thesis: misperceptions about sexual difference and procreative power have, along with misleading sexual metaphors, been the major forces in history. In a bold departure from the methods of conventional history, McElvaine draws on a wide range of sources, from biology, anthropology, archaeology, mythology, religion, and popular culture, to show how the interplay between our evolutionary heritage and changing environments has shaped the course of history, from hunter-gatherers to the contemporary world. Doubly controversial for its method and its contention that "prehistoric" developments devalued men, subordinated women and continue to misshape our lives, Eve's Seed is sure to engender debate.

A Good Start.......2006-08-08

Being aware myself that men talk about their seed when it would be more accurate to talk about their pollen I was intrigued to come across such an extensive theory based on this very mistaken metaphor.
This book is a great read and certainly we need to understand human nature and include it in our understanding of our history and ourselves today. McElvaine makes a good first stab at this and I will not repeat his argument again but point out a few important errors.

The faults with the book concern the biology, both the factual errors and the lack of real exploration. The descriptions of the mating behavior of primates are not fully correct, especially regarding gorillas - the silverback has a very small penis and testicles and little interest in sex except when a female is ovulating which means at intervals of three to four years, hardly comparable to humans. McElvaine also says that animals rarely kill members of their own species but Dian Fossey stated that 25% of gorilla mortality was due to the male gorilla - he kills both other males and infants if he ousts a resident male.

The biggest error is that apes are, in fact, not matrilineal. In chimpanzees and bonobos the males remain for life in their natal group and the females leave at puberty. This is most likely the case for hominids and humans ie human females have hardly ever been matilineal and had the benefit of this base for kin or female-female bonding.

McElvaine makes a big case for human 'mounting' behavior which may be valid but amongst other primate species there is no universal evidence for it correlating directly with dominance and submission. Sometimes the dominant individual is mounted, sometimes females mount their female 'friends', sometimes a presentation is a way to give an olfactory signal by a dominant. Also, presentations that are submissive are very different from the upright, assertive, four-square stance of a female soliciting a copulation.

These errors do not greatly undermine any of the arguments but do show that when we are going to use biology in an argument we need to know more than just a little biology. The fact that human males have nearly always spent their whole life with kin when females have had to join a new group to breed is an enormously important factor in the repression of human females and the dominance of men and masculine values - including men fighting over possession of such females. Looking at primate behavior tends to show that the roots of some of our behavior were very deep and strong well before agriculture came along.

Also, even if we do think more about the male/female spectrum of human nature there may well be a number of males at the masculine end of the spectrum who are not striving to be anything other than they naturally are - ie are extreme males who simply have little or no capacity for feminine values. If these are the dangerous males then the best we can do is to stop allowing them and their virtual 100% masculinity to be the role models for the more average male - or even the average human.

McElvaine's points about the false metaphors we use, male-biased language and attitudes, misogyny, a male creator, the belittling of feminine values and behaviors and the impossible way men try to be 'notawoman' are certainly strong and in many ways obvious when pointed out. And it is surely foolish to think that such a lop-sided species can hope for anything other than toppling over in the mightiest of Falls.

McElvaine offers a few ideas about how we might be able to overcome our maladaptive proclivities but it is an enormous task both to recognize our human errors and for men to ever overcome their maladaptive inheritance and genuinely not feel so much contempt for the feminine in human nature. It is hard to imagine the necessary changes coming any time soon.

A highly recommended read and hopefully it will open up essential further explorations in this area.

What a great insight!.......2005-10-12

This book has been especially useful for a university paper I was working on. It passed some time since that but the concepts I read are still fresh in my memory, since it were concepts I've been suspicious for a long time. One might think that the author forced a note in affirming the male dominance is caused by the male "impotence", but if you take an impartial look you'll find he is right. Don't get me wrong: I have no problems in beeing a man, but I'm honest enough to recognize that the western world is based on a patriarchal figure, on a concept of a man that needs constantly to prove to himself and to others that he is no woman, that he is not a sissy or a gay - wich is even worse -, but, on the contrary, that he is a real macho, a sex machine that can "score" as many women as he wants since they are so inferior that they get completely overwhelmed by his mere presence. It's sad but it's the reality.
Fortunately, things are changing. In Spain we had notice of the first girl (she's 16) that joined a senior male soccer team as an advancee. In Germany, Angela Merkel is the first woman to be nominated chancelor. In the great majority of western countries, the armed forces do accept equally male and female recruits.
It reminds me the movie of 007 "Goldeneye", when the Admiral said to M (a woman) that she didn't had the "balls" to stand in face of the situation, to wich she replied that she had the advantage of not having to be thinking with them all the time...
It would be nice if in the future our leaders will think less with the "balls" and more with the brains...

Trite tripe.......2004-06-04

This is a sad effort and sadder still that these ideas were published. The fact that any publisher believes that readers of social history would be interested in such a twisted analysis of the nature of man/woman and the development of societies is indeed sad. McElvaine is a longtime self promoting boor stuck in a jerkwater academic environment with way too much time for idle pondering. His imagination worked overdrive to produce this piece of fantasy. I guess if any of us had enough time on our hands we too could construct elaborate theories on the 'nature of things' and put enough of a self-loathing feminist slant on it to attract a fringe readership. That's what happened here. Don't waste your time. A disturbing aspect to this is that he's teaching the next generation of leaders.

Men are from women, not Mars.......2003-03-31

This is the book I've been looking for. It explains the world we're living in right now. And where we've been. This book really gets to the root of the basic problem: men arn't able to be men because we're afraid of our femininity. So we're half-men, and we're so [angry] at being half-men that we take it out on women. We blame them for it. That's it in a nutshell. And it all started thousands of years ago, with the agricultural revolution, when we lost our place in society. We were out of a job. And we've been playing catch-up ever since. And still are today: it's still going on. NOTE: I'm writing this on the 10th day of the insane war we're waging on Iraq. After reading this book, you'll understand why these insecure, infantile itiots mask their impotence by waging war. We are at this moment witnessing the catastrophic consequences of the hyper-masculinity that he talks about. As long as we define man as "not-a-woman," we're [stuck.]

Avoid At All Costs!!.......2002-11-07

Let me hopefully save you from having to plow through several hundred pages of bunk. Even though McElvaine takes issue with a few feminists along the way, this is basically a feminist work: McElvaine finds male malfeasance and female disadvantage in all places and times down through history.

Demonstrating how a little knowledge can be a dangerous things, he starts out by wading ankle deep into the currently trendy and sales-worthy waters of evolutionary psychology in attempting to write a history rooted in our evolved nature, but he never even distinghuishes in Darwin's theory between *natural* selection and *sexual* selection; indeed, the latter term is not to be found anywhere in the book. McElvaine's knowledge of things evolutionary wouldn't get him a passing grade in an easy 101 class. He has an entire chapter on sex differences, where he bends over backwards to minimize these and downplay their significance -- then he bases his whole crazy story throughout the rest of the book on rather Victorian stereotypes about the sexes, particularly the shortcomings of males; i.e., men are uncivilized aggressive beasts, whereas women are gentle nurturing angels. In short, masculine/male = bad, feminine/female = good. You know the drill. It's called sexism...I could easily go on -- there's that much which can be made fun of here -- but will end by asking a salient question not posed by the book: if human nature is unchanged over historic times, why even bother with the Rorschach test of the dim uncertain past and pre-history when attempting to get at what that nature is? Why not just observe current behavior?

Book Description

Microprocessor ICs are the most complicated part of TV equipment and present special problems to the engineer when fault finding. Complementing the first volume in this series, Television IC Data Files, the most popular microprocessor ICs used in televisions are covered here. Each device is presented graphically with the relevant data information given against each pin to enable the engineer to quickly compare voltage measurements and signal in/out data on a faulty device, with those in the book. All the measurements and signal data in the book were taken under actual working conditions.

The purpose of this book is to provide the workshop technician and the field engineer with a valuable and convenient method of fault finding without the need to consult workshop manuals which are often expensive or indeed out of stock. As such it will also be of interest to those on television training courses.

John Edwards runs his own audio visual services company and has contributed numerous articles to the trade magazine Television.

THANK YOU WERY MUCH FOR THE KNOLADGE GIVEN TO US.

Book Description

This book explains the basics of S-PLUS in a clear style at a level suitable for people with little computing or statistical knowledge. Unlike the manuals, it is not comprehensive, but instead introduces the most important ideas of S-PLUS and R, its companion in implementing the S language.

The authors take the reader on a journey into the world of interactive computing, data exploration, and statistical analysis. They explain how to approach data sets and teach the corresponding S-PLUS commands.

A collection of exercises summarizes the main ideas of each chapter. The exercises are accompanied by solutions that are worked out in full detail, and the code is ready to use and to be modified.

The volume is rounded off with practical hints on how efficient work can be performed in S-PLUS, for example by pointing out how to set up a good working environment and how to integrate S-PLUS with office products.

The book is well suited for self-study and as a textbook. It serves as an introduction to S-PLUS as well as R. A separate chapter points out the major differences between R and S-PLUS.

Over the last editions, the book has been updated to cover important changes like the inclusion of S Language Version 4, Trellis graphics, a graphical user interface, and many useful tips and tricks. The fourth edition is based on S-PLUS Version 7.0 for Windows and UNIX and has been updated and revised accordingly.

From the reviews:

"Written to coincide with Version 7.0 of S-PLUS, the fourth edition of The Basics of S-PLUS furnishes a gently paced, but detailed, introduction to the S-PLUS statistical computing environment." Journal of Statistical Software, Vol. 14, December 2005

"Now in its fourth edition, this paperback continues to evolve smoothly, keeping up with changes in S-PLUS and its underlying language, S...If you own a first or second edition of this book, I recommend updating to the fourth edition." Journal of the American Statistical Association, September 2006

Very easy-to-follow introduction book to S-PLUS.......2007-02-28

As advertised in the title, the book introduces the
basics of S-PLUS statistics software. The pace is
gentle and very easy to follow. I particularly like
the chapter 2, Graphical User Interface, which is
written in almost step-by-step manner and includes
more than 50 screen dumps. For R users the book does
include a chapter to discuss the differences.

Fundamental para aprender S-Plus (ahora dudoso con "R")........2006-01-30

Antes de que "R" (www.r-project-org) existiera (años anteriores al 1998) este libro (su primera edición) resultaba fundamental. Además de la fuente de los manuales de S-Plus (disponibles en la página de Insighful) no habían muchas más fuentes de información/formación sobre esta potente herramienta de análisis estadístico, incluyendo también al libro del Venables/Ripley.

El libro cubre los aspectos fundamentales del lenguaje S-Plus: vectores, listas, lógica de control, gráficos, etc. En esta segunda edición se incluyen en detalle el tratamiento de los gráficos emparrados a partir de la librería (Trellis) liberada por los ATT-Bell-Laboratories. Manuales sobre los gráficos Trellis se pueden siguen disponibles en http://www.research.att.com/~rab/trellis/ que tratan el tema de una manera más profunda que en este libro.

La ventaja de este libro es que además de la explicación en detalle del S-Plus, también se tratan, sin excesiva profundidad, diferentes técnicas estadísticas.

Aunque como titulo esta reseña, la utilidad de este libro, en este instante es muy cuestionable tras la aparición de su equivalente GNU de libre distribución "R". El "R" está muy documentado (incluso en diferentes idiomas), tiene una estupenda lista de ayuda R-Help y el número de librerías disponibles y ayuda quasi-inmediata de eminentes profesores que han desarrollado la mayoría de las librerías.

Practical and Clear.......2005-09-07

This book has proven the difference between not being able to use my new S-Plus license and beginning to feel that I am on my way to master it. The book is clearly written, has many examples and exercises and has enabled me (a total alien to S-Plus until a month ago) to be able to start doing some useful analysis and data exploration. The book is about getting familiar with the kinds of things you can do with S-Plus. It is not intended to teach you statistics or linear algebra (it is assumed that you know at least the elementary stuff about data analysis), but it will certainly teach you how to use most features of the S-Plus system, both through the graphics interface and using the command-line interface, which is more powerful. Bottom line: excelent book for those wishing to move from another statistical environment to S-Plus.

Excellent beginner's text.......2004-07-27

I love this book and recomend it to anyone who would like to branch out in S-plus beyond the GUI. The great strengths of this book are its great clarity, its realistic and useful examples, and most importantly, its scope. This text will not teach you everything you need to know about S and S+. BUT it will show you what you need for probably 80-90% of what you may need S to do for you. After mastering the techniques in this book, I'm ready to progress, but it still is the first book I consult when faced with an S problem. If you want to learn S+, this book is essential.

Originating as the S language of AT&T Bell Laboratories, its modern language and flexibility make it appealing to data analysts from many scientific fields. This book explains the basics of S-PLUS in a clear style at a level suitable for people with little computing or statistical knowledge. Unlike the S-PLUS manuals, it is not comprehensive, but instead introduces the most important ideas of S-PLUS through the use of many examples. Each chapter also includes a collection of exercises which are accompanied by fully worked-out solutions and detailed comments.

Basic S plus for graduate students in statistics.......2000-06-29

This is an excellent text for first time exposure to S plus. As a graduate student in statistics, I found this text to be appropriate and helpful. I found this text to be very readable. I would encourage professors to consider this book as an introductory text. It lacks coverage of old and new style classes but does a nice job covering the graphic capabilities of S plus.

The Basics of S and S-Plus: a good starting point........2000-04-18

The book provides a very good working introduction to Splus and programming in S. It is geared towards those who will be using the command line interface. There were enough examples to help me to begin to do fairly complex statistical analysis in just a few hours of starting work with a large database. After 2 years, I still find the examples and tables about graphics helpful.

Excellent introduction to basic Splus........2000-03-05

The Amazon synopsis accurately describes the content and function of this book. Each chapter includes multiple examples of the structure of the syntax and use of Splus functions, and concludes with exploratory exercises (with solutions) to further the chapter theme. I am a graduate student with a modest understanding of statistics and virtually no programming experience. This book enabled me to construct custom bootstrap functions for exploratory data analysis within two days of beginning to learn Splus. This book is more easily read than any other Splus guide I have found, and I would recommend it to anyone using Splus, beginners and experienced users alike.

Not for the S-Plus beginner!.......1999-03-13

The book does a good job of explaining all of the techniques and applications of S-Plus, but doesn't give adequate examples. You're left trying to figure out what commands to type in. This book may be better as a reference guide for a more experienced user.
