The "heart and soul" of almost all relational database programs is the B-Tree algorithm. In fact may programmers describe a relational database as a B-Tree program with supporting code that simply delivers the query to the B-Tree or displays the results from the B-Tree. The beauty of this book is that it describes in great detail with lots of diagrams and charts exactly how a B-Tree works. It is one of the clearest explanations on the subject existing and is extremely useful for any person or classroom that is investigating databases. The number of illustrations in this book are too numerous to list. Diagrams are given showing every major step taken in writing a B-Tree. The diagrams also show exactly how searches are done. Flow charts are also presented showing how the B-Tree algorithm works. Tables are presented showing the performance of the B-Tree. Code is listed for an entire B-Tree program written in simple DOS based BASIC and it is inspected and laboriously explained line-by-line.

There are numerous "Coffee table" art books available that serve as a catalogue of some Oriental rugs. Although useful, most of these books tend to leave people confused and are more akin to a museum catalogue than serving as a useful working book for one intending to purchase or identify oriental rugs. Invaluable for the prospective owner and experienced collector, the "Beginner's Guide to Oriental Rugs" presents clear illustrations of many of the most common designs found in Oriental rugs. Along with these designs are descriptions of the various rug makers that use the designs. To help refine things, the designs are followed by a detailed description of the rugs produced by each of the major rug producing tribes or towns. Complete advice is also given on evaluating a carpet, what makes one carpet more valuable than another, and how to take care of a carpet once you have it. Other useful features include a glossary, maps of all major rug producing areas, the history of Oriental rugs and how the carpets are made, etc. Here is the one book you will need to identify, evaluate and purchase oriental rugs.

DESCRIPTION: Not just a wine cookbook but a tutor as well on how to recognize wines, serve wines, etc. see peer review.PUBLISHER COMMENTS: Unlike many cookbooks that specialize in wine types, this book first describes to the user what the different types of wines are and then gives proven recipes for each type of wine. It has been recommended in peer publications and is well received by the public.REVIEW: "The Standard Wine Cookbook, by Anne Director, is the perfect addition to any cooking library. Director has recorded hundreds of food and drink recipes using wine from around the world, each of which is a time tested favorite.Although wine loses its alcohol when subjected to heart, it can still give any dish heightened flavor and aroma, The basic rule to remember is that if you can taste the wine in the food when it is done, you have used too much.Sherry is the perennial favorite for cooking. It is especially good in soups, and with fish, shellfish, chicken and ham. In general, red table wines are used most successfully in dishes with red meats, and whites with white meats, chicken and seafood.But, Director encourages cooks to experiment. Each wine has an individual flavor and character.Some of the recipes included are French Onion Soup made with Sherry, Cranberry Salad Mold made with Claret, Wine Butter Sauce for vegetables made with Sherry, Red Wine Beefsteak Pie, and Fruit Wine Shortcake. All of the dishes are economical and easy to prepare. Many date back hundreds of years. Suggested wines are listed by their generic names." - Petterson's California JournalTable of Contents: Wine In CookingHow To Recognize Different Wines, Wine Names And ClassificationsWine Service Guide, Temperatures, Table Service, And Wine GlasswareHelpful Hints About Wine Buying, Wine Care, And Wine StoringSoupsSalads and Salad DressingsVegetables Egg and Cheese DishesFish and Fish SaucesMeats and Meat SaucesPoultry and GameFruits, Desserts, And Dessert SaucesCocktails, Coolers, Cobblers, And Wine Punches

Bearing a startling hologram of a skull on its front cover, this  volume is a complete, up-to-date reference guide to its subject. For  the uninitiated, the first two chapters give a thorough introduction to  this complex technology. There is also a chapter on available  educational facilities, plus a glossary of technical terms.   For the professional holographer, the central part of the book  covers materials and techniques in detail.   Also included is an international listing of over 1000 holography  businesses and personalities, plus a 10pp bibliography, including  French, German, Portuguese and Russian, as well as English language  publications.   As publishers, Ross Books are in the unique position of offering  advertising pages which are collector's items in themselves, in this  case from American Bank Note Hologaphics (4pp), Light Impressions and  Max Image.

Scientific American“The Amateur Scientist” section.“Holography Handbook: Making Holograms The Easy Way by Fred Unterseher, Jeannene Hansen and Bob Schlesinger, is rich in detail about how to produce all kinds of hologram on a limited budget.”************************************Library Journal“This comprehensive book is a guide for non-technical people who wish to create their own holograms. Although holograms involve complex scientific principles, the authors describe and illustrate practical methods suitable for a “handy” person at a relatively modest cost. Explicit information is given on equipment required and where to get it, how to construct optical tables, and how to make and display various types of holograms. A clear style and many explanatory diagrams and illustrations make the projects easy to follow. For those interested in theory the authors provide a section with a commonsense approach. Another section relating holography to the human brain and to cosmology will intrigue many who have an interest beyond the mechanics of holograms. Recommended.************************************Booklist“For the amateur holographer, the authors of this practical manual emphasize a simple and easy method of creating three-dimensional laser photographs. Although some information on laser technology and holographic theory is included, the book in general supplies step-by-step instructions on holography basics and identifies elementary equipment and supplies. More complex techniques are described but not detailed in depth. A real hologram is to be included in each copy. Suppliers and resource addresses are noted. *************************************New Scientist“The Holography Handbook coincides with the increasing interest in making hologram by individuals with little or no technical background. It serves to educate and is supremely capable of doing so, by explaining in readable and succinct terms how to make numerous different holograms. The illustrations, diagrams and text take you gently through each step, including: the selection of a location to make holograms, how to build or where to acquire the equipment needed, what to do with it once you have it, for how long, and the results to expect. It covers basic and advanced procedures, recommends approaches both optically and chemically and offers alternatives.This would make a useful handbook if it stopped there, but its authors recognize that the process is connected, and can be extended, to other areas of consideration, sot they quickly put it into historical perspective including chapters on light, its perception and properties , the art of holography and philosophical implications. The California humor of its authors comes though with a desire to provide entertaining and understandable explanations, manifest in their “KISS philosophy. Keep It Sweet and Simple”. In a book concerned with the production of holograms and their properties, the simplest way to demonstrate some of the points covered in the text would be to give each reader a hologram to examine - hence the sting in the tail. On the last page is a small embossed hologram, viewable in white light (a characteristic of most display holography today), which if you light it correctly, provides a 3-dimensional image. Previous publications have included holograms, but this is the first to explain how to make them yourself. To further emphasize the well though-out nature of this book, the back page, if you can bear to tear it out, can be cut, folded and glued to make a stand for the hologram. Any lending library adventurous enough to offer copies of this book would do well to keep a beady eye on the back page prone, as it will be to mysterious disappearance. Seductive things, these holograms.”Andrew Pepper
