Customer Review: Robert Darnton doesn't want to have to choose between books and e-books. That's at the core of this compelling collection of essays and articles, some of which have been published elsewhere and some of which are new. He wants knowledge to be available and accessible -- and loves the idea of how new... more info
This is kind of a breathless story about some bright computer engineers in the 1970s trying to do something that had never been done before. Runs long, with what seems like a great deal of redundant information. And there's often melodrama (grinding, at times) when straightforward character... more info
Customer Review: This book provides an excellent balance of capture and post processing best practices. There is a good amount of information about how to light images properly using anything from simple reflectors like lastolight or california sunbounce to canon speed lights to a full on review of tons of broncolor... more info
Customer Review: I've read several of Tim Winton's books, and though others are also excellent (Dirt Music, for example), this might just be his best. While it's organized as a collection of short stories, there's many interconnections, giving the collection as a whole a real depth that it might not have had... more info
Customer Review: I have spent the last dozen years working to put scholarly journals online, and thought that I was nearly done. Christine Borgman's book raises the questions that, I expect, will define the next dozen years of my career.
Customer Review: I think its a great first book for anyone wanting to know more technical details about the workings of the CD, digital audio in general, digital interfaces and some DSP.
What I like most about this book was it was easy to read and simple to understand, unlike some other books that are just... more info
Customer Review: This work would be more aptly entitled: "How to Build A Digital Library Using Greenstone Software", since it is largely a primer and manual for Open Source software. The publishers present the work as a book and a website. The website's technology is useful, allowing the reader to search words and... more info
Customer Review: I thought that the subject matter might be a bit dry, but Striphas is an engaging author and this delightful read is full of interesting information about how we consume books.
Customer Review: I thought I would agree more with this author bemoaning the fate of reading since I see first-hand in teaching American literature how few of my students actually read ... or have ever read a book for that matter. As the author says, it's true that many people in the youngest generations are more... more info
Customer Review: Although some have complained that this book has little to offer grizzled veterans of digital operations on the HF bands, it is an excellent primer on: 1.) what's available,
2.) what each method can and can't do, and
3.) the requirements for operating each. This is a "handbook"... more info
