10 of 12 people found the following review helpful. "Masterpiece" By darklord I am not sure where does all these 5 stars come from. Maybe they are the author's friends?I have bought hundreds of books online and this is first book I feel obligated to give a one star. I am shocked by the irresponsibility by the author.Typos and mistakes are everywhere. Some times you can find more than ten typos in a page. In some sections every r2 is printed as r6. Some sections every '1' is printed as '2'. (I am not sure if the author is capable of counting from 0 to 9)To give you an example, let's see how the author solves the problem "counting the number of 1-bits in a 32 bit integer". Savor the masterpiece:// Count the number of ones in x// Result saved in counterint main(void) { unsigned int x=0xAAAAAAAA; unsigned int y, z; unsigned int counter = 0; counter = x >> 31; while(x > 0) { y = x > 31; if (x < y) { counter += z + 1; } else { counter += z; } x = y; } while(1)}I cannot tell you what's wrong with this program because I have no idea how the author's mind works. The author uses 2 pages to give you a detailed explanation of how that masterpiece generates a 16. Yes indeed 0xAAAAAAAA does have 16 ones in it. However the award winning piece also tells you 0xFFFFFFFF has 16 ones in it and 0x22222222 has 16 ones in it. Actually I would rather call this "program" a "16-generator".So I just want to give you an simple. Don't take it too serious. These kind of masterpieces is every in the book. I think it may take me 60-150 pages of A4 pages to list them all.This book is also "amazing" because the author can use two pages to explain something that can be explained by two lines, without giving you a clear idea what he is talking about. However, he can also use several characters to explain something that deserves some examples. To give you an example, here is how he teaches you the instruction STM:STM Rn, register_list store multiple wordsThat's it, the only place tell you the usage of STM in this book. (Maybe I am not smart enough but I really still don't know how STM works)I won't give you a vise-versa example because I don't want to type two pages in the comment.Also when I see a figure or table in a book I don't expect how nice it is. But I certainly don't want them to be upside down or mirrored. But..Anyways I am tired of typing now. It's your choice whether to buy this book. I know when readers buy a book the author gets money. Everyone likes money. But you should have the basic conscience when writing a book and doing anything.

4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Excellent book for beginners to learn embedded systems By hengshanli Excellent book for beginners to learn embedded systems, particularly on ARM assembly programming.This book provides many C programs with side-by-side assemblies, making me understand assembly codes better.All codes do NOT use ARM CMSIS and the standard API libraries. The programs interface peripherals directly by controlling and accessing peripheral registers. This enables deeper understanding how a microprocessor works.I enjoyed the lab-in-a-box platform (32L152CDISCOVERY Discovery Kit) very much. It is very convenient to program and debug the kit. All I need is an USB cable. The kit replaces the STM32L Discovery Kit. However, they are exactly the same except that 32L152CDISCOVERY has larger flash memory.While the book covers Cortex-M3, all assembly programs of the book can run on Cortex-M4 without any modification. In a simple word, Cortex-M4 = Cortex-M3 + DSP + Optional FPU.

About the Author

Matt Smith

Matt Smith is a computing academic from Dublin, Ireland. In 1983 Matt started computer programming (on a ZX80) and for his 'O-level' computing certificate (aged 16) he submitted 2 games for his programming project work. In 1985 Matt wrote the lyrics, and was a member of the band that played (and sang, sorry about that by the way) the music on the B-side of the audio cassette carrying the computer game Confuzion (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confuzion). On a succession of scholarships he managed to spend almost 10 years as a full time student, gaining BA (Hons), then MSc then PhD degrees in computing and artificial intelligence. He then became a full-time lecturer. Having previously lectured full-time at Winchester University and London's Middlesex University, since 2002 he has been at the Institute of Technology Blanchardstown in Dublin (http://www.itb.ie/) where he is he is now senior lecturer in computing. Some of his previous Irish–French student team games can be found and played at http://www.saintgermes.com (thanks for continuing to host these Guillem!). Matt was one of the two technical experts for a recent multimedia European project for language and cultural student work mobility (http://www.vocalproject.eu). He studies and teaches Taekwon-Do with his two children, having been awarded his first degree black belt in 2015 (he also runs his club's website at http://www.maynoothtkd.com/). He is trying to learn Irish, so he will understand the report cards from his children's Irish-speaking school. In occasional moments of free time he also tries to get better at playing the piano and classical guitar. Matt is a documentation author for the Fungus open source interactive storytelling plugin for Unity (http://www.fungusgames.com). Matt also maintains a step-by-step open source introduction to Unity 2D and 3D game programming on his public Github pages (see https://www.github.com/dr-matt-smith/gravity-guy2D). Matt's previous publications include a chapter in Serious Games and Edutainment Applications (Springer 2011, ISBN: 1447121600), and contributions and editing of several music education and artificial intelligence books.

By Hugo This book is awesome, Unity 5 is awesome and you can build great things fast and easy, could be games in a big variety of platforms, learning tools, animations, training simulators and your imagination is your limit, but sometimes you need to spend much time searching for the specific solution for your game, this book is like a tool, cookbook model is for everyone but if you already know how to use unity, then this book can boost your development capabilities, they have made an excellent job searching the most common game needs and made it in a structured way that your job will be complete in a short time. If you don't know how to use unity, I think that you will not have difficult to follow the recipes and do what you want, but if you need more basic stuff, the official tutorials are very descriptive and in a short time you will find that you need more so this book is what you will need.They know how to teach and they wrote explaining how to do and why, so the examples makes you understand the concepts and apply the fundamentals to achieve the results required in your project. They covered a big variety of UI features, inventory GUIs, 2D and 3D animations, many actually successful project are in 2D, they show both skeleton animations and sprite sheets, using physics, maps, materials, cameras, lights have a lot of new techniques in unity, you will find great effects, lightmaps and reflection, navigation, sounds and they show how to use extra features in your game. They know what you need for your game, but they also show how to improve your workflow, showing how to use better your editor and great extensions.I am using this book almost every day, is like a tool, I search here before and normally I find what I need, or I find where to find, because they provide good references, if you are a beginner or expert unity developer, this book can help a lot, I could totally recommend!

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Just what I was looking for! By Perry Nally Can I just say I love you, Unity 5.x Cookbook? I've been using Unity 4.x for about a year now, I saw the release of Unity 5, and thought, "What? A new version to learn?" In walks Unity 5.x Cookbook in all your glorious insight and cookie cutter scenarios.It is a great book. But remember, this is a cookbook, with recipes. However, even if you don't know anything about Unity, you'll learn a great deal by the end. Not only will you understand how to perform basic GUI and animation, but you'll also learn about some of the new features Unity 5 has to offer. It will be helpful to be able to read C# in order to get the full effect.Starting in chapter 10 the author starts to really help you perform some advanced topics that most books gloss over or don't even cover. Things like communicating with a website and securing your game; as well as securing your source code. It's a thorough book and if you follow the steps like I did, you'll be able to modify that knowledge with your own ideas in no time at all. I love Unity and I now love this book because it will be a great reference for a long time.

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. In concept it's a good book, but the execution is not good By Ben Kimball In concept it's a good book, but the execution is not good, many places where the instructions just leave you hanging and confused as to what to do next and some of the example code does not work. Author assumes the reader can read his mind at times, refers to things that are not clear in the complicated Unity interface. Somewhat informative, but looks like the author either got bored or in a hurry. Thought this book would be more useful.

Max Brown This book is the true story of the home I grew up in as the oldest of 13 kids. When I was eight years old, my folks became foster parents. Some kids stayed for a day or two, but many lived in our home for weeks, months or longer. Over 20 years, nearly 100 kids came to live in our home. At times, it was stressful with 16 - 20 people living there with lots of different needs, ages, backgrounds and experience.I'll never forget the dozens of times when either my mom or dad would wake me up in the middle of the night to quickly help make beds for a sibling group that would arrive shortly based on a call that my folks had just received telling them that a police car full of kids was on the way to our home. Sadly, foster kids often get pulled out of violent situations in the middle of the night. The law enforcement officers who work to get the kids out of these situations would often grab any clothes they could find and stuff them quickly into a paper sack. Meanwhile the confused kids sat crying in police cars waiting to be taken, along with this paper sack of clothes, to our home. Scared and exhausted, these kids would understandably come in completely confused and afraid. We would sit with them for long periods of time and my mom would often just rock them in her arms for hours and hours as she softly hummed a tune to soothe their pain.Needless to say, we learned a lot growing up in our home. It was a place of safety and love. It was a place of respect and caring. It was a place where we were taught to think bigger than ourselves in both word and deed.My parents have never sought recognition for the life of sacrifice they chose to live for so many others -- even the word sacrifice would be objectionable to them because they didn't -- and don't today -- consider it a sacrifice to love and serve others. For them, service is a duty and honor – it is their life purpose. More importantly, these are real kids who suffered a lot, but they don’t want to be labeled – they want to be loved. To this end, my folks wouldn’t want the focus to be on them, but rather the focus should be on these amazing and resilient kids who came into our home and taught us all a lot along the way.Gratefully, my Aunt Brenda, the author of this book, has brought this story to life. It deserves to be shared with the world, and I’m grateful for the way she captures some of those moments growing up in our home. I hope it brings you hope and courage to serve, care and love the people around you.Just imagine what it would be like if we simply treated each other better. May we all be engaged in causes bigger than ourselves!

In less than a decade, the Internet went from being a series of loosely connected networks used by universities and the military to the powerful commercial engine it is today. This book describes how many of the key innovations that made this possible came from entrepreneurs and iconoclasts who were outside the mainstream--and how the commercialization of the Internet was by no means a foregone conclusion at its outset.

Shane Greenstein traces the evolution of the Internet from government ownership to privatization to the commercial Internet we know today. This is a story of innovation from the edges. Greenstein shows how mainstream service providers that had traditionally been leaders in the old-market economy became threatened by innovations from industry outsiders who saw economic opportunities where others didn't--and how these mainstream firms had no choice but to innovate themselves. New models were tried: some succeeded, some failed. Commercial markets turned innovations into valuable products and services as the Internet evolved in those markets. New business processes had to be created from scratch as a network originally intended for research and military defense had to deal with network interconnectivity, the needs of commercial users, and a host of challenges with implementing innovative new services.

How the Internet Became Commercial demonstrates how, without any central authority, a unique and vibrant interplay between government and private industry transformed the Internet.

How the Internet Became Commercial: Innovation, Privatization, and the Birth of a New Network (The Kauffman Foundation Series on Innovation and Entrepreneurship), by Shane Greenstein

Review "Essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the broader context in which the explosion of Internet-related innovation occurred."--Marc Levinson, The Wall Street Journal"A welcome, well-conceived contribution to the history of technology."--Kirkus"Exciting reading."--Borsen"Definitely recommended."--Tyler Cowen, Marginal Revolution"This is the best book yet about the rise of the Internet."--David Warsh, Economic Principals"[A] detailed history of the Internet."--Foreign Affairs"How the Internet Became Commercial is immensely informative."--Philadelphia Inquirer"Greenstein is not simply telling a colorful and important story. His analysis systematically explores why innovation and commercialization of the Internet emerged and evolved as it did and why innovation from the edges thrived and was so important."--Jonathan David Aronson, Journal of Communication

From the Back Cover

"In this important book, Greenstein draws on economics, business history, and the history of technology to tell a story of disruption on a grand scale. He shows how outsiders to the information and communications technology establishment brought the Internet from its techie origins to its current role as an economic growth engine."--Timothy Bresnahan, Stanford University

"With this engaging account of the Internet's origins and innovative explosion, Shane Greenstein cements his claim as the foremost economic historian of digital technology. An essential read for all who want to understand the miracle of our lifetime."--Joshua Gans, University of Toronto

"Greenstein offers a powerful and lucid account of the way the Internet's exceptional growth arose from unexceptional economic forces. How the Internet Became Commercial is a foundational read for anyone wanting to understand the origins and dynamics of the mainstream Internet."--Jonathan Zittrain, Harvard Law School

"The Internet and its applications are transforming business and commerce. There is no economist on the planet who has done more to document its economic origins, evolution, and implications than Shane Greenstein. This book should be required reading for any serious student of the topic."--Erik Brynjolfsson, director of the MIT Initiative on the Digital Economy and coauthor of The Second Machine Age

"The Internet has affected our lives profoundly over the past quarter-century. Yet far too often, its features are taken as given, without understanding the genesis of this critical innovation. Shane Greenstein's book lucidly illustrates the key decisions behind today's Internet, and offers lessons for innovation policy more generally."--Josh Lerner, Harvard Business School

"Greenstein has written one of the most important books available about how the Internet came into existence, commercialized, and became so important in American life. It will be the standard work on the subject for many years. It is also a great read."--James W. Cortada, author of The Essential Manager: How to Thrive in the Global Information Jungle

"This book starts at the moment when most histories of the Internet end, providing a comprehensive and engaging explanation of how an academically oriented research network transformed so quickly and completely into the commercial infrastructure of the early twenty-first century."--Nathan L. Ensmenger, author of The Computer Boys Take Over: Computers, Programmers, and the Politics of Technical Expertise

About the Author Shane Greenstein is the MBA Class of 1957 Professor of Business Administration and cochair of the Digital Initiative at Harvard Business School, and codirector of the program on the economics of digitization at the National Bureau of Economic Research. His books include Diamonds Are Forever, Computers Are Not and Standards and Public Policy.

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. AN ASTONISHING AND AWAKENING INTERNET COMMERCIAL HANDBOOK!!!!!!! By COSMIC TRAVELER Are you a person that cannot imagine the world without the Internet? If you are, then this book is for you. Author Shane Greenstein, has written an outstanding book that argues that Internet exceptionalism is just plain wrong, that it can be replaced with a coherent and sound economic explanation; and, crucially, that this explanation must serve as the foundation for understanding the broader lessons about the Internet’s evolution, for explaining the innovation that took place, and for analyzing the causes behind creative destruction.The author begins by describing how the Internet should not be understood solely as a network technology. Next, he focuses on the privatization process itself and highlights several key policy decisions that shaped the evolution of the Internet. Then, the author considers how a number of policies shaped the transfer of the web’s technology out of universities and into commercial markets. Also, the author puts the spotlight on the eclectic and entrepreneurial communities outside of the government who would play a crucial role in building commercial Internet service providers, or ISPs. He then explains the relationships among privatization, the creation of the web, and the timing and bunching of investment at one time. Then, the author contrasts the commercial operations of the Internet with the commercial operation of the personal computer market. In addition, he explains economic growth affiliated with building the commercial Internet and web. Also, the author focuses on how Microsoft reacted to the new prevailing view about the prospects for the Internet. He then analyzes how the Internet exceptionalism ideology shaped the behavior of the many participants within the financial markets and distorted the growth of electronic commerce. Next, the author continues by describing one mechanism for the renewal of growth after the dot-com bust. Then, he examines the creation of the market for wireless Internet access, which added important functional capability to the Internet. Finally, the author provides a syntetic summary of the book’s story for how and why the commercial Internet grew and evolved.This excellent book also offers lessons for how society can try to rely on systematic policies (and more than mere luck) to produce similar results in the future. Among the many questions answered in this great book, is how and why did the Internet’s deployment lead many firms to reconsider their perceptions about how the Internet could contribute to the generation of market value, and how did changing perceptions shape outcomes.

A really amazing story about how the commercial internet came to be By Amazon Customer A really amazing story about how the commercial internet came to be. So much went into its evolution and the cast of characters, organizations and motivating factors is extensive. Kudos to Shane Greenstein for compiling this story and doing the exhaustive research. Both a page turner and a high minded dissertation. A must read for a technophile.

1 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Five Stars By Jeffrey Hart This is a really good book. Shane Greenstein argues here that the commercialization of the Internet was a success because many factors combined to assure that there would be “innovation at the edges.”The first part of the book focuses on the transition from the Internet as primarily a tool for the Department of Defense and its contractors and for scientists and engineers in academia to a fully privatized cyberspace for everyone to use. He correctly observes that most histories of the Internet have focused primarily on the creation of the Internet and not on its commercialization. So the first task of the book is to describe in detail how the transition was made. The National Science Foundation (NSF) was in charge of setting the rules for privatization. Tim Berners-Lee and Robert Caillau at the European Center for Nuclear Research (CERN) pioneered the World Wide Web by creating hypertext markup language (HTML). Two Internet-specific governance institutions were created to ensure that technical excellence would be the main criterion for improvements in the Internet and the Web: the Internet Engineering Task Force and the World Wide Web Consortium. The US government set up a system to ensure that domain names would be issued in a fair and rational manner (more or less).The rapid migration to the Internet by businesses was facilitated by a number of policy decisions, technological innovations, and a general mood of experimentation. Key policy decisions included the breaking up of the telephone monopoly of AT&T, the FCC’s Computer Decision II, and the federal antitrust actions against IBM (pre-Internet) and Microsoft (post-Internet). Key technological innovations included the creation of the TCP/IP protocols, HTML, LAN and WIFI technologies, and advanced search engines.Most of the important innovations occurred at small companies, some of which became large subsequently. Large corporations could have blocked some of the factors behind the Internet’s success but generally decided that doing so was against their interests. IBM developed “middle ware” to help their business clients migrate to the Internet. Microsoft developed a browser (Internet Explorer) and web-friendly interfaces and applications to defeat what Bill Gates considered to be the biggest threat to their core business – Netscape. Intel decided to integrate WiFi capability into their chipsets for laptop computers. Large corporations participated in forums to create standards without dominating them (with a few notable exceptions).Google took advantage of a superior search engine to become a leading Internet advertiser. Greenstein uses the example of Google to show how government policy (in this case, the funding by NSF of research at Stanford) played an important role in the commercialization of the Internet.There is an excellent chapter on the origins and consequences of the dot.com boom and bust. I was pleased to read a detailed description of the browser war between Microsoft and Netscape (building on the earlier work of David Yoffie and Michael Cusumano). Also, Greenstein includes a brief discussion of the importance of bulletin board services (BBS) companies in the privatization of the Internet. Although most of them did not survive, some became Internet service providers (ISPs).The book is notable for the absence of discussion about a number of topics. There is no mention of the dominance of cable and telecommunications firms in providing access to broadband networks. There is virtually nothing here about the recent controversies over net neutrality, pornography, malware, gambling, and taxation. Greenstein is intent on explaining the success of commercialization (a worthy enterprise), not on examining the consequences of that success. Luckily there are many works that tackle these important subjects, and in any case it was clearly not the author’s intention to cover everything.In conclusion, this is a fine book on an important set of issues that have been dealt with in only a spotty manner in earlier works. The scholarship is impeccable. The bibliography is suitably long and thorough. References to interviews and conversations with key players can be found in the footnotes. The book would be suitable for use in college courses for advanced undergraduates and graduate students together with books like Janet Abbate’s Inventing the Internet.

"Stand up for yourself, stand up for your friends, don't be a bystander, lets bring bullying to an end." These are the words I chant proudly as an advocate against bullying. I was born with a cleft lip and experienced bullying in my childhood. I still carry with me the scars it left on my heart. But as I developed as into my teenage years, my relationship with God was also developed. I was a teen with a crushed spirit, but Jesus found me. He restored my inner beauty and self-love. In Him I found true beauty. Poetic Faith tells my story through Christian poetry. Poetry and faith saved my life.

I would like to praise the Miller's for what they went through and how they handled it. Sad story but at the same time a very compassionate one. Great book to read!

0 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Not what I expected from the title By Tom The title of this book is a somewhat misleading; the activity implied by the title is mentioned once, in one sentence -- “Leah, do you want to get on top of me?” -- that's it. This did occur, according to the younger girl, dozens of times. What actually happened is not specified beyond that one line. Nevertheless, the older girl (a Korean foster child that is taken in by the family) is completely out of control. One reads about the abuse that occurs in some foster homes by the foster parents; in this case it is the girl that is to blame. Apparently this story is true, and it is hard to believe what this family went through.

"The rule of thumb in any White House is that nobody is indispensable except the president," said The New York Times, "but Karen Hughes has come as close to that description as any recent presidential aide." Karen Hughes has worked beside President George W. Bush since, as she says, "the motorcade was only one car and he was sometimes the one driving it." As counselor to the president, she brought the working mom’s perspective to the White House, often asking of President Bush’s policies, "What does this mean for the average person?"

Yet the move from Texas to Washington was hard on her family, and in a controversial, headline-making decision that reverberated across America, she summoned the courage to say, "Mr. President, I love you, but I need to move my family home to Texas." There, Hughes continues to advise the president, where the kitchen wall calendar marks the State of the Union message side by side with her son’s orthodontist appointments.

Listening to Ten Minutes from Normal―the title comes from the campaign trail―one is instantly absorbed in what it’s like to be a "normal" person who goes to work at the White House as a part of the president’s inner circle. Told in Karen Hughes’s disarmingly down-to-earth, warm, often funny, and frank voice, the audiobook is a remarkable blend of an ordinary woman’s life, with all its compromises and everyday decisions, and a keenly insightful look at American politics and America’s forty-third president.

This is an audiobook for the legions of women and men everywhere who are seeking new inspiration for how to reorder their priorities and achieve balance in their lives. Most important, in a post-9/11 world, Hughes redefines the very notion of what is "normal" as something special and precious, never to be taken for granted in America again.

Ten Minutes from Normal, by Karen Hughes

From Publishers Weekly Hughes, who surprised the political world by leaving her post as counselor to President Bush in July 2002, to pursue a more normal family life in Texas, here offers a relentlessly upbeat account of life as Bush’s chief communications strategist. Hughes begins by detailing her upbringing as an army brat, her career as a TV reporter in Texas and her entry into politics as a press officer for the 1984 Reagan presidential campaign. The heart of the story is her relationship with Bush ("my boss"), whom she has served since his 1994 campaign for governor of Texas. Hughes praises Bush’s "laser-like" mind, humble spirit and moral courage; she also praises almost everyone else in the administration, including political strategist Karl Rove, with whom she was reported to have frequently sparred. And not surprisingly for a famously disciplined, on-message spokesperson, she directs her most pointed barbs at those who leak information to the press. While Hughes doesn’t offer a balanced take on Bush and company, then, she does offer something equally tantalizing—a deep insider’s take on what it is like to work at the side of the most powerful man in the world. She also provides Bush fans with a well-crafted, robust paean to the president. And both these reasons are why this book has found a place on major national bestseller lists.Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

About the Author Karen Hughes served as counselor to the president, was one of three people who ran his presidential campaign and worked as his communications director during his six years as governor of Texas. She is an elder and longtime Sunday-school teacher in the Presbyterian church. Mrs. Hughes lives with her husband and son in Austin, Texas, where she continues to advise President Bush from her home.

From AudioFile Hughes describes the juggling she had to do in her demanding roles as counselor to President Bush, wife, mother, and active church member. A dynamo of energy, she has a natural ability to spin facts that made her invaluable to the Bush White House. Eventually, however, the call of family responsibilities resulted in her resignation and return to Texas with her husband and son. There she keeps in daily touch with the White House via a special telephone line and frequent visits to Washington. Her account of the horror of 9/11 is particularly effective, as are her conversations with women friends who face the same career/family conflicts she does. Production shortcomings include dialogue repetition, hurried chapter introductions, and bland theme music. L.C. © AudioFile 2004, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine

46 of 61 people found the following review helpful. book reviews shouldn't be about polical view bashing By Robert C. Senders Karen Hughes is an advisor and personal friend of the President. This book presents a postive view of the president and the White House policies and processes. Duh.But that is not primarily what this book is about. This book is presents a relatively "normal" professional working mom who finds herself in an important role in the innermost circles of the Presidential Power. She describes what that experience is like, and most importantly the conflict between that appeal to the intensity and importance of that power and her role as a mother and spouse.The book provides some limited insight (almost certainly the negative filtered away) of decision processes of the President, gives some insights into how Political PR (should) work, and confirmation that a number of the President's close advisor's draw heavily upon their Christian faith.The book gives some insights into the current President. He is has tremendous discipline, he apparently is always on time or early...for those of you who interact with executives who run businesses and/or organizations know how rare this is--as the imporance of issues that CEO's deal with often mean subordinates learn to wait. He is either "simple-minded" lacking in-depth understanding or cuts immediately to the core of the issue, depending on your view. He does tend to see decisions as right and wrong (it's not just Karl Rove pandering to the hard-core right).But again, those insights are sidebars to main theme of the book--a mom wrestlhing with the consuming requirements of very intense work environment versus desire to invest in one's family.The book is am enjoyable read and a thought provoking book for those of us with consuming worklife and a family. On the other hand, if you're the kind of person who would write a review trashing a book that you haven't read because you don't like the politics should probably skip this one-you won't be able to get past the politics to engage with the book.

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Can't We Just Try to Get Along? By S. G. Fortosis I think somewhere back in the misty recesses of history there have been a few times when Republicans and Democrats somehow laid aside their nasty animosities and worked together for some valuable compromises. I think on some very rare occasions, Reps and Dems have worked together because they knew they had to. I even think there have been a few cases in which there was deep, abiding respect between particular members of opposing parties. I'm tempted to think maybe that sentiment has died for good when I read many of these reviews. Could they be more rude and mean-spirited? Maybe, but not a whole lot. Kids, Bush was wrong on some issues and right on others, just like the rest of us human creatures...just like every Democrat who has ever served. Ease up a little.

It gives a good insight into a busy life of a politician..BEAWERE, Karen Hughes is a friend and a supporter of President Bush, so if you lack respect for the president you won't rate this book very high!

Driving on the Wrong Side of the Road: Humorous Views on Love, Lust, & Lawn Care, by Diana Estill

Review Driving on the Wrong Side of the Road by Diana Estill is a sparkling collection of humorous vignettes that range from the anecdotal to the philosophical--and almost everything in between.

Drawing mainly from her own experiences, from youth right through to Grandma-hood, and with her tongue lodged firmly in her cheek, Diana Estill provides guidance and advice on such wide-ranging topics as wedding anniversary gifts, handling jalapeno peppers, and football terminology for dummies. Interspersed with such ruminations are hilarious anecdotes such as the Christmas Monopoly game that did not become a 'family tradition,' and the testosterone-fuelled Texas Chain Saw Adventure. Refreshingly, political correctness is thrown out of the window. The foibles and peculiarities particular to the male and female varieties of our species are brilliantly portrayed. As a man, I heartily endorse her theories on the problems of mall navigation for men, and the ingenious solution of a male drop-off zone complete with vibrating chairs, televised sports, and attendant grannies missing their grown-up sons. Brilliant.

Unlike many humor writers, Estill does not usually laugh at other people. By and large, she pokes fun at herself, her husband, and her family, in an affectionate way that is very appealing. Occasionally, the tone becomes more reflective and serious, with a couple of particularly lyrical and touching accounts of her relationship with her father.

At a fundamental level, this is an account of ordinary incidents in the everyday lives of normal people, and this is what makes it so accessible. Painting such events in her whimsical and quirky manner, Diana Estill infuses them with a sense of outrageous craziness that helps one to chuckle at the annoyances of life. After a tiring, stressful day this is a great book to pick up.

Armchair Interviews says: This book is a reminder that laughter is indeed the best medicine.

-- This text refers to the paperback edition. --Armchairinterviews.comAuthor Diana Estill writes as if we are heading off on an adventure, beginning with a drive on Grand Cayman Island. The idea grew from a humor column published in "Road and Travel Magazine," amusing Americans who have either contemplated or actually experienced driving a British car. Diana issues a reminder to fasten seat belts and hold on, for otherwise, you may get thrown into a serious state--and that is rarely a fun place to be.

The published humor columnist hails from Texas, so many of the experiences she writes about take place or have something to do with life as it is in Texas. For example, you will laugh and cry upon reading about seeding and cleaning jalapeno peppers for the salsa used so often in Tex-Mex cuisine. And I did not know the Blue Lacy, named for its gun metal color coat, is the official state dog breed of Texas until I read the chapter called "Designer Dogs." Diane's grandchildren have a Blue Lacy by the name of Tex who buries anything he cannot eat and brushes his own teeth.

Diana is a successful journalist and humor columnist, and this is quite evident after spending some time perusing her book. I predict you too will be tickled by some of Diana's work. Such common items as a digital camera, smoke alarms, and lost luggage will have you smiling. The sections on green lawn obsession, stretching a dollar, loudly snoring husbands, getting prepared for a possible disaster, and toilet repairs (better known at the Estill home as the Institute of Toiletology) will leave you with high spirits. I was particularly amused with the "Gender Benders" section and found myself laughing out loud when Diana described a trip she and her husband took to receive a full body massage, a gift given to them by their daughter. Diana and Jim now claim to suffer from Chronic Massage Phobia. It is hilarious!

I recommend "Driving on the Wrong Side of the Road" to any adult needing a quick pick-me-up or a good laugh, and that would include just about all of us at one time or another. Diane Estill's writing style reminds me of Erma Bombeck, for she finds something humorous in the most mundane of activities. What a talent!
