A GREAT SHOW DESERVES A GREAT BOOK...
A great TV show deserves a great book, and this is it! The book is printed on heavy, shiny paper with tons of color photos that include almost every couple from Season 1 through last year when Apolo and Julianne won. The last part of the book is photo after photo of Alec and Edyta demonstrating the different dances. Not so interesting! Why were they chosen when there is a bevy of beautiful ...

A Social History of Black Brazil
Guillermoprieto is both a skilled writer and a serious scholar. That combination makes this erudite, and exceedingly detailed study of the black underclass in Brazilian society both readable and engaging. She employs an inductive approach, using the culture surrounding the Samba and Carnival in Rio as a base for exploring the status of blacks in Brazilian society and the many contradictions and ...

Readable, enjoyable summary of Brazilian music
An excellent book for anyone who wants to explore Brazilian music beyond the well-known classics. Helps place current and past musicians in their historical contexts; helps you understand who influenced whom, etc. The book will pay for itself just by helping you guide your ever-growing collection of Brazilian CD's (hard to stop once you get started)!

A Rosetta Stone for Brazilian guitar
For about the last 5 years, I've been wanting to move from the music that I *can* play to the music that I *want* to play and sing - bossa nova and samba. I had several books on the subject but, after watching performances, I realized that the books - and I -were missing something. This Christmas I thought I'd try again with some different books, one of which was Mike Christiansen's. With his, ...

reliable reference
I sure hope you don't intend to read this cover to cover. It functions best as a reliable and comprehensive reference to unix. For both system administrators and programmers. Yes, if you are the latter, you still have to deal with the operating system, even if you hide inside a programming language most of the time. The various unix shells are evenhandedly described. The Bourne shell. The c ...

Using Samba
I was able to configure a samba server that met all my needs after reading only 4 chapters of this book. I am not an expert but at no time at all did I feel like this book is outdated. Mine, 3rd edition, was focused on samba 3.0.22 -- correct release being 3.0.25.

Expand your groove!
You've heard the AACM's slogan: "Ancient to the Future"? This text personifies it! Mokhtar says, "fifteen years there were no drumset players in Africa...we're just starting to develop this art form..." Talk about hitting the ground running (in first place)! This new book is an important addition to a small but growing list of excellent method books that apply traditional African rhythms, from ...

GREAT book!
I recently installed Samba on a couple of Solaris servers in my organization to integrate these servers with our Windows NT domain. I needed a good reference book that could fill in the gaps left by the "man" pages, and other online docs. I looked at just about every other Samba book around but found something to my disliking with each of them. Even the O'Reiley book, which is very well ...

Useful for Basics.
Let me begin by saying I know very little about ballroom dancing, but like so many others, my wife and I have gotten somewhat interested thanks to the Dancing With the Stars craze that has become so popular. She has insisted that we take dance lessons and, not being one eager to embarrass myself publicly, I wanted to at least know some of the basics before going in. DANCE CLASS by Paul Bottomer ...

Nothing like specific examples to see how to do something
Using Linux in a Windows desktop environment requires the use of Samba for file and print sharing via the Windows explorer. But Samba has grown up as a full-fledged package for communicating between Linux and Windows over the last few years. Installing Samba as a Primary Domain Controller, implementing ldap for easy directory integration, or just installing it as a file and print server are all ...

This is a lovely depiction of Carnaval in Rio. The photos are from recent carnavals, it makes a good coffee table book. Surprisingly the CD accompanying the book is excellent. Its worth buying the book for the CD alone.

Great book
What a great surprise this book was. Not just sexy, but deep and smart and even funny. It is so far from normal 'erotica' that it's hard to describe, but I'm recommending it to everyone. It really should be on mainstream reading lists, in spite of all the explicit sex.
