Advantages: Well-presented, consistent, from-the-horse's-mouth wisdom
Disadvantages: Who knows when they'll next change their UI fashions?!

...concentrates on the practicalities of implementing the HCI advice in the context of the Windows environment. For someone as pernickety as myself when it comes to the fine detail, the information here is manna from heaven. We're talking pixel-level perfection and precise capitalisation. You should probably still read About Face by Alan Cooper as a more light-hearted introduction to UI issues (see another of my reviews), but once you have done, make sure you follow it up by reading this....

Advantages: slightly intelligible, witty, ingenious
Disadvantages: at the beginning difficult names, on the occasion of repetitions, of everything too easy

...lethargy and can free thus of the Mundurucu. The Mundurucu notice this, however, and set the ones changed also into people and endowed with magic abilities, blood sucking bats Ruut and Rata as well as their chiefs Quoll onto the unusual group at, that hesitate between the animal old ones and the new human feelings. On the search for the colors our heroes flee before her persecutors into a rainbow in which every color represents an own country with completely different rules and persons. They must cross all countries near which they are not only fleeing, but near which they adapt themselves also to the respective factors and near which they must find pure white light in order to return the colors into her world - and in this case they do not know yet how they are supposed to transport the light then once...

Advantages: A fun and humorous fantasy romp
Disadvantages: Definatly not intelectualy engaging

...Based in a world of talking 'animals', this series has its tongue firmly in cheek and, though definatly 'fantasy' would be equaly at home under the humor heading. Following the main protaganist through a series of quests, almost tolkinesque in nature, it is written with well paced wit throughout. The characters are well rounded, if a little TOO human, but fit well within the light nature of the story. Pure escapism, will certainly engage your imagination but not your intelect. #1 : Spellsinger #2 : Hour of the gate #3 : Day of the Dissonance #4 : Moment of the Magician #5 : Paths of the Perambulator #6 : Time of the Transferance Son of Spellsinger...

Advantages: fantastic book from first principles to beyond
Disadvantages: None

...advanced techniques) from the book. The book is well laid out and, unlike some gardening books, is designed to stay open at the page you want, and not close itself. That can be really annoying with some gardening books. I mean, do you really want to keep fumbling for the right page whilst you are in the middle of planting something? The book is also very well illustrated with photographs by Jonathon Buckley. The photographs are used to show plants, equipment and also techniques explained and described in the text. The book begins, as all good books should, but some don't, at the very beginning. Alan describes what gardening is, what gardens are for and even spends several highly useful pages describing what plants actually are. How they behave, how they move, how thy breathe, how they respond to light and so forth. There's also a very useful... Read review
