Superb!!
Great Beginners book
My Review of this Book It is about artifical intelligence. If you have a computer you will know exactly what I mean. When you hook up a computer, it acts alive, and you gotta interact with it like it is artifically intelligent. Like when I hook up the voice-recognition thing where you speake into the mikerofone, it acts like it hears you too, and does what it is told to do. Sometimes that is to write a letter, or to tell it to go onto the net. I told my computer to go onto the net once thru the mike, and it did it, as it was spoken and said what to do. So if you read and buy this book you will learn to do this, and hook it up yourself. The book has plans and charts to do all this stuff. When you read it, pass it onto a friend, and they may help you once they read it themselves. I gave this book 5-stars, because it was a very good one, and I will now know how my computer is so smart. I told it what to do, and it help me with this revue to. So buy it but just one time, because a friend and other people will be able to read this for free, once you give it to them. Engines are my hobbie, and so are electronic power supplys, so I plan to use this book for that to. I will design new ones that are faster than sound, and my computer will be smart and help me with that. So buy this book, once, and you will like it along with all the friendly people that you knowe.That's my revuiew, but I will do anew one when a new adition of the book comes out to the press. I do recomend that you buy this one time for the people who wanto know about how artifical intelligent computers get smarter and help you with life-things you need to do, but not all by yourselfe, but with a computer.
An excellent intro to a new science
fascinating It's not a masterpiece of literature, but it was interesting enough to forever change my research career. ... Read more |

Editorial Review Amazon.com's Best of 2001 Each cryptological advance that was made outside the confines of the NSA's FortMeade complex was met with increasing legislative and judicial resistance.Levy's storytelling acumen tugs the reader along through mathematical and legalhassles that would stop most narratives in their tracks--his words make even thedepressingly silly Clipper chip fiasco vibrant. Hardcore privacy nerds willvalue Crypto as a review of 30 years of wrangling; those readers withless familiarity with the subject will find it a terrific and well-documentedlaunching pad for further research. From notables like Phil Zimmerman to obscurebut important figures like James Ellis, Crypto dishes the dirt on folkswho know how to keep a secret. --Rob Lightner Customer Reviews (38)

Editorial Review Book Description Steven Levy has had rare access to everyone at Apple who was involved in creating the iPod -- including Steve Jobs, Apple's charismatic cofounder and CEO, whom he has known for over twenty years. In telling the story behind the iPod, Levy explains how it went from the drawing board to global sensation. He also examines how this deceptively diminutive gadget raises a host of new technical, legal, social, and musical questions (including the all-important use of one's playlist as an indicator of coolness), and writes about where the iPhenomenon might go next in his new Afterword. Sharp and insightful, The Perfect Thing is part history and part homage to the device that we can't live without. Customer Reviews (18)

Editorial Review Book Description While the professional literature is glutted with theories on educational reform, our children remain starved for authentic learning that grows out of their unique, original classroom experiences. Award winning teacher Steven Levy attributes this disparity to the lack of clear examples illustrating the kind of thinking and planning that results in powerful learning. The void, he asserts, too often prompts teachers to "either return to the curriculum guide or try to implement projects developed by others." Starting from Scratch presents an inspired alternative. In detailed accounts, it explains the step-by-step observations, thinking, and planning that enabled Levy to develop a variety of original projects with his elementary students. These have ranged from environmental inquiries--students studying the impact of a local bike path on their community--to an imaginative look at the qualities of number--a classroom quest to determine which is the greatest number. While these projects were generated by the children's own interests, they also provided myriad opportunities for basic skills development. In this regard, Starting from Scratch offers a creative reconciliation of some of the more hotly debated issues in education: project based learning versus basic skills; integrated curriculum versus discipline centered instruction; state and national standards versus local and individual interests. Instead of recapitulating fundamental arguments, Starting from Scratch simply shows successful illustrations of how "the best of both worlds" can coexist in an engaged classroom. Starting from Scratch was written primarily with professional educators in mind. But its appeal will extend to parents, business leaders, and anyone interested in related issues such as character education, teaching gifted and talented students, and teaching thinking. In short, it will inspire anyone concerned with the challenge of educating strong individuals who have a spirit of community. Customer Reviews (3)
So, Brian...use your frustration... Use what he gives you to take urban kids into their lives. Okay, they are poor, maybe illiterate, possibly angry....but are they not also intelligent, curious and hungry????? Stop complaining!

Decent Book, The Real Story
The seductiveness of Social Movements The other power of social movements is the manner in which all sorts of crimes are permitted for the "good of the movement".Ira was a showman who not only caught the leading fads and trends but created them. Thus he joined New Age idiocy (UFO's, ESP, conspiracies at every corner) with ecology where he was the instigator of the preposterous "Earth Day", a celebration that has now become a financially successful cottage industry. Add to that radical politics, drugs and sex and one has the recipe for a disaster. Repeatedly he outwitted politicians who attempted to cash in on the latest craze.Through sheer showmanship and continual media self-promotion he established himself as the man around town. Around this time enter one Holly Madux, former high school cheerleader from Texas and susceptible to his many charms. Five years later she "disappears".Skip forward and her body is found in Ira's apt, he is arrested and with the help of Arlen Specter (R-PA) he is released on a $40,000 bond and skips the country.He resurfaces in Ireland only to disappear again.Finally, in 1997 he was caught in France, still proclaiming his innnocence. Friends felt he had deserted "the Cause" though he is fondly remembered for his power as an organizer, facilitator and power broker - perhaps his true calling.His private life was, of course, much different from his public persona and apparently involved cruelty toward his lovers.In his latest interviews one almost gets the sense of entitlement for commission of a crime due to his past actions.A sad, touching, horrifying, eye-opener of a book.
THE UNICORN'S SECRET:MURDER IN THE AGE OF AQUARIUS
Gripping, Informative, a Real Page-Turner
Maniacal Ira Einhorn Still Hides In France . . . Even though I knew how thebook was going to end, I actually found myself applauding Holly as shebegan to discover her strengths and pull away from Ira and resolutelydecide to remove herself from his life.What if she had been able to dothat?How wonderful (for everyone) if that had happened . . . but Irawould not let anyone leave him.He considered Holly to be his possession,and was not about to let anyone get away from him so easily.It amazes methat he was able to escape detection for so long, and that his friends andacquaintances actually trusted and believed his stories . . . even afterHolly's body was found.How does one explain that?A body is found inyour apartment and you expect everyone to believe you had nothing to dowith it?That there was a conspiracy against Ira Einhorn?Get real!Irawas a nobody -- no one would waste their time conspiring against him.Thebook was fascinating and frightening at the same time.Much better thanthe TV movie about the case (which, I admit, sparked my interest andconvinced me to buy this book).I recommend it to anyone who is at allintrigued by the case, or anyone who is a fan of the true-crime genre.Itis a page-turner, a tale that will sicken and sadden you all at once. Unfortunately, it is a story without a resolution, since Einhorn is stillin France and has not been brought to justice -- and that will make youseethe with anger. ... Read more |
