Great help, couldn't have written the website without it........2007-08-23

This is the first of the dummies series of books I have used. I read it from cover to cover and practised before I started on my real website. I then used the book as a reference and found it extremely helpful. The website is now published. Some sections were basic formatting that I already knew so I just skimmed over these sections but on the whole a great help.

great book.......2007-05-08

Easy to read and understand. I already had a basic understanding of FrontPage but this book is a great intro and taught me some new tricks too.

Covers A Lot.......2007-02-15

This book covers a lot of the fuctionality of Frontpage 2003. It is easy to read and includes specific instructions with extra little hints thrown in. When I first used Frontpage I was expecting a product that helped me create html pages. It does that but the book helped me to understand the site management aspect of the product also. A great jumpstart to using the software.

Frontpage 2003 Review.......2006-03-03

When I first purchased the Frontpage Software I should have bought this book at the same time, in fact they should actually be sold together. It is very well written and a very good guide once you are up and running. I would recommend this book to anyone who has a basic understanding of MS Office products.

Terrible for a Help Book.......2006-01-28

This is a terrible book. I am a total novice in FrontPage and web page creation but have lots of experience in computers including programming years ago.

Usually I am the one everyone asks questions of with computers.
I was unable find the Button she talked about on the 3rd page. I searched everywhere for it and asked Microsoft and HELP and still haven't found it. She assumes you know where things are but we DON'T. very frustrating experience.

Book Description

The first study of the role of the newspaperwoman in American literary culture at the turn of the twentieth century, this book recaptures the imaginative exchange between real-life reporters like Nellie Bly and Ida B. Wells and fictional characters like Henrietta Stackpole, the lady-correspondent in Henry James's Portrait of a Lady. It chronicles the exploits of a neglected group of American women writers and uncovers an alternative reporter-novelist tradition that runs counter to the more familiar story of gritty realism generated in male-dominated newsrooms.

Taking up actual newspaper accounts written by women, fictional portrayals of female journalists, and the work of reporters-turned-novelists such as Willa Cather and Djuna Barnes, Jean Marie Lutes finds in women's journalism a rich and complex source for modern American fiction. Female journalists, cast as both standard-bearers and scapegoats of an emergent mass culture, created fictions of themselves that far outlasted the fleeting news value of the stories they covered.

Front-Page Girls revives the spectacular stories of now-forgotten newspaperwomen who were not afraid of becoming the news themselves-the defiant few who wrote for the city desks of mainstream newspapers and resisted the growing demand to fill women's columns with fashion news and household hints. It also examines, for the first time, how women's journalism shaped the path from news to novels for women writers.

Good, but not great.......2007-10-03

This is a sweeping epic novel set in England's New Forest. If you've read any other Rutherford novels, you'll be familiar with his storytelling methods, and those methods remain true in this novel. For those not familiar, Rutherford writers in a very Michener-esque manner, following a few families through centuries of history and tying that history to a place. It was an interesting read, but, in the end...I think I'm over Rutherford and his style.

EDWARD RUTHERFURD DOES IT AGAIN!!!.......2007-06-09

I HAD PREVIOUSLY READ 'SARUM', 'LONDON' AND 'RUSSKA' AND I HAVE JUST FINISHED READED 'THE FOREST'. EDWARD RUTHERFURD HAS TO BE THE "FINEST" HISTORIAL NOVEL WRITER IN MANY, MANY YEARS! HIS OBVIOUS RESEARCH AND HIS ABILITY TO PUT 'YOU' INTO THE 'FOREST' OR LONDON, OR SARUM OR RUSSIA IS AMAZING. I NOW HAVE TWO OTHER OF HIS HISTORICAL NOVELS - 'THE PRINCES OF IRELAND' AND THE 'REBELS OF IRELAND'. WHICH I WILL COMMENCE READING TONIGHT AND I KNOW THEY WILL BE OF THE SAME QUALITY OF HIS PREVIOUS FOUR. BECAUSE HE DOES HIS HOMEWORK AND IS ABLE TO CONVEY HIS STORIES IN A LIVELY, EXCITING AND INTERESTING WAY SO THAT THE READER STAYS WITH THE BOOK FOR LONG PERIODS. EVEN THOUGH HIS BOOKS ARE 'HEAVY' (IN WEIGHT) THEY ARE SO EASY TO READ AND THE PAGES JUST FLY BY. GREAT WRITER, I HOPE HE IS CURRENTLY RESEARCHING ANOTHER AREA RIGHT NOW AND WRITING ANOTHER BOOK REALLY SOON. VS...CINCINNATI, OHIO

"A NEW DAY OF INFAMY".......2005-11-13

A very different book on what took place in America on 9/11.
The day,date and vile act that took place against a free country will never be forgotten.This book is a collection of the front pages of 146 newspapers from the United States and several other countries around the world.While there are many repeats in the photos,the interesting thing is how each paper attempted to choose the best few words to describe this dasterdly attack.
All through the book you will be faced with a glaring remark that so well makes the point.One of the things that struck me was how quickly they assessed the importance of this attack and what resolve immediately became evident that this great nation would not let the perpurators get away with this act.
The importance of this act was clearly stated by President George W Bush; "Freedom itself was attacked this morning".
Reading this book over four years after 9/11 ,it is obvious that much of the world continues keep its head stuck in the sand ,in spite of a continual stream of attacks against them,
and that appeasement will no more work with terrorists than it did with Nazis and other Facist Organizations.
This is a book that takes only an hour to scan,but one that all freedom loving people should turn to every so often ;just as a reminder of the evil that is prepared to eliminate that freedom.
Here are a few of the headlines that were used on 9/11 and the following day:
NIGHTMARE
ATTACK ON AMERICA
BUSH VOWS TO PUNISH 'EVIL' ACTS OF TERROR
'AN ACT OF WAR'
'OUR NATION SAW EVIL'
OUTRAGE
'DESPICABLE'
'EVIL'
AMERICAS DARKEST DAY
TERROR HITS HOME
"NONE OF US WILL EVER FORGET THIS DAY"
A NEW DAY OF INFAMY
NOTHING WILL EVER BE THE SAME
WE MOURN
"UNYIELDING ANGER"

The thing that comes through loud and clear as one goes through this book is that despite the horror of these acts; is the strength and resolve of America to do whatever it takes to hunt down and eradicate this evil.
The reason that America ,as a free nation,is the world leader is because it has the will and fortitude to win.America has done it before and will do it again.
As I watched the events happen on 9/11 I wondered what pictures and words would be on the fyont pages of my local newspapers.With this book I see what appeared all oner the States and other countries ....an excellent concept ,well executed.

Compelling Coverage.......2003-09-05

I found it intriguing to view the diversity and truly stunning images depicted on each page of this book, from newspapers attempting to create their own exclamation in light of pain and tragedy. In a business that began with the purpose of informing people of the news of the day, and that still struggles mightily to continue to do so despite overwhelming competition, I am reminded of one thing while flipping through these pages: Newspapers provide the world with a means to freeze important moments in history as few written recollections can do, and provide a tangible keepsake of those events. This book is a veritable treasure of history, as it was happening. I highly recommend it.

Beyond interesting.......2002-11-07

Seeing the front pages from around the country was very interesting. The ones that got nasty and used words like Bastard where the most interesting. Must have book about 9/11. But be sure you know before you buy, this just has FRONT PAGES of newspapers, no stories.

There is no "University of Indiana.".......2002-10-06

This book is a very fine document. For us in Bloomington, it's good to see the front page of the Indiana Daily Student along all the other front pages from that dark day. Unfortunately, the book's editors committed a real gaffe by misidentifying the "University of Indiana." There is no such institution. The Indiana Daily Student is headquartered in Ernie Pyle Hall on the campus of Indiana University.

Great start but so much more to include.......2007-04-26

This oversized book provides a look at some of the crucial headlines that occurred during the 100 years of the newspapers production. It focuses on the key events but the layout changes and way in which the paper matured are interesting. This really is only for those who have a passion for news changing or those like myself who want access to the primary source material. The downside is that the dates are random and it is not inclusive however the print is readable and the book does have some interesting dates.

Excellent quality and scope for LA/southland historic events.......1997-12-01

The front pages are very interesting for southern California readers. The thirties section is not well represented. A section on LA sports is not as complete. Because you only see certain dates, and only the front page of that event, many stories are tantalizingly left to your imagination and further research.

Book Description

Every page is memorable, every image unforgettable, every moment meaningful. Take a tour of the entire twentieth century through the more than 500 of the most outstanding magazine covers from around the world--Look, Life, Der Spiegel, and Paris Match among them. Each one stands witness to an era when magazines kept headlines to a minimum, allowing the pictures to speak for themselves. From political figures to fashion to movie stars, from depictions of daily life, 100 years of imaginative and thought-provoking design unfolds. Such titles as Esquire, Harper's Bazaar, and Vogue set the styles with the greatest artists; Andy Warhol's Interview later showcased cutting-edge art direction and images from photographers, such as Francesco Scavullo. Here, too, are refined, witty, and often satiric drawings from The New Yorker and Norman Rockwell's nostalgic paintings from The Saturday Evening Post. See how journals throughout the world portrayed a monster (Adolf Hitler), key heads of state (Khruschev, De Gaulle, Kennedy), two world wars, the Beatles and Vietnam, and royal weddings (Princess Grace, Princess Di). From Punch and Playboy to Time and Jours de France, it's an amazing, sometimes joyful and sometimes sober, look at life in the last century.

Newsstand favorites.......2003-11-16

I have read reviews of this book in the media suggesting it is a history of the twentieth century through magazine covers. I don't see it like that, rather a visual history in two chapters, of twenty-eight leading consumer magazines from Europe and the USA. The first chapter covers the twenty-eight titles with a good choice of covers and text explaining the history of each one. Playboy and Esquire mix it with Fortune (eleven super designed covers) Stern and Punch for instance.

The second chapter called Trends is the one that I think readers will find the most interesting. It looks at styles and techniques of cover design and finally at people on the front page. Some of these covers could be considered historical as they feature politicians like Churchill, Stalin, Hitler and Charles De Gaulle, or celebrities like Marlene Dietrich, Brigitte Bardot, Marilyn Monroe (shown on a spread with forty-eight) or Sophia Loren.

Magazine folk will enjoy this well designed book because of all the covers. I can recommend another book, 'Cover Story' (ISBN 0811808165) which has two hundred American titles from 1900 to 1950 in a beautifully designed paperback. Perhaps the definitive book on the subject is the sumptuous 'Great Magazine Covers of the World' by Patricia Frantz Kery, out of print but worth looking for because it has five hundred covers from twenty countries, in a word, stunning.

Wonderful read!.......2007-05-15

I so enjoyed this book. It's meant to be read in about an hour cover to cover and it arms you with inspiring ideas to try with your baby. I really appreciated that it didn't confuse me with the technical aspects of photography but encouraged me to take my photography to the next level with 3 simple ideas. That in itself inspired me to want to know more about the technical aspect of my camera but is not a prerequisite to professional-looking results!

A Beautiful and Helpful Book.......2007-04-14

This gorgeous book will enable you to make beautiful photos of the baby in your life with the camera you already own. His clear, easy to implement instructions will challenge you to record the everyday, precious moments. You and your family and friends will be impressed with the results.

Great book that yields instant results.......2007-03-28

The results are really instantaneous. Even after three years of photography classes in college I always forget some of the basic concepts that this book illustrates, namely, getting closer to your subject, not centering everything, using natural light effectively and turning off the flash. When reading through my college photography books I have found that I get so overwhelmed by the terminology and understanding advanced techniques that I forget how to take a good photograph. I end up creating a box full of amateur "snapshots" that are meaningless, full of unimportant backgrounds, poorly composed and poorly lit.

What I like about this book:
-the author does not use photography terminology (no f-stop or shutter speed stuff)
-the book is written simply, to be read by sleep deprived parents who need to dash to the book for a quick reference before they rush back to photograph their baby.
-the reader does not need an expensive camera, a simple point-and-shoot will work
-the concepts in this book can be applied to all types of photography, not just photographing infants.
-the author includes a section in the back for more advanced techniques.
-there are CLEAR examples of amateur vs. professional photos, which takes the mystery out of the professional photographers ability to take great photos.
-there is a section in the book dedicated to displaying your photographic art (I plan on trying all of the projects mentioned).
-there is a section that includes great photos taken by amateur photographers using the concepts presented in this book.

What I need more of:
- This book was printed in 1999 when digital cameras were not common in the general public, so what I am about to request is for a future edition. The only thing I would like is a comparison of film vs. digital photography. How do mega-pixels compare with film size, what is the equivalent of film speed in a digital camera and have any new photography tricks developed with digital cameras? However, these are things that anyone can quickly look up on web, like here: http://www.dlcphotography.net/Digital%20vs%20Film.htm

The book has been absolutely wonderful to read and has boosted my confidence in photography. Despite its age this book is great for anyone with a digital or film camera just for the basic concepts on producing great images.

The perfect primer.......2006-12-29

Anyone who has kids (I have four under who are 6 and younger) knows that parents don't have a lot of time to spend reading wordy explanations on how to do things. For that reason, I loved this book when it was given to me and my wife as a gift when our first was born.

In about 30 mins or less I could see what I was doing/not doing right in order to "dial in" the right shots. My father, who was a professional writer and photographer, has since regularly given me compliments on my photography of the children.

The only possible drawback to this book is it has probably helped lead to my taking more pictures than I can easily manage. But at least there won't be a shortage of memories--and ones that look pretty good to boot!

An excellent overview.......2006-08-27

Three basic rules:
1) Don't use the flash
2) Get as close as you can
3) Take as many pictures as you can

Kelsh spins these simple guidelines into an excellent book that will help any new parent take excellent pictures of their baby. There's almost no technical jargon (which, I'm sure, will please most of its audience), and lots of full-page pictures of babies, showing exactly what you can achieve.

If you have a camera and a baby, this is the one book that will have you taking infinitely better photos in just a couple of hours.

All parents could benefit..........2007-05-14

This book was a joy to read and I think all parents, grandparents or anyone working with children should have a copy to encourage good picture taking. I just had my 5th child and it gave me good ideas to use throughout his first year that I wish I'd had with my first baby.

Basic concepts ONLY here.......2005-09-28

I guess I was just hoping for more than just basic ideas. I've been photographing people and families for about 5 years (casually, not professionally) so I'm not sure what I wanted, but the book left me wanting more. I wanted more insights, I guess; more direction; more specifics. Too basic. A quick read.
