The Nook E\-Book Reader Review
Barnes and Noble Nook sprung a surprise package to capitalize on the holiday season. Released on 30th November 2009, the Nook e-book reader takes its place of pride as the first Electronic Book reader to be based on the Android platform. What catches your attention are ‘Over a million titles to choose from’, ‘1000s of free e-books’ ‘Endless shelf space’ ‘Lend e-books to friends’ and so on that compels you to read further.
Apparently ripped right out of Amazon Kindle’s master playbook, both are priced at $259, which is more than just a coincidence. The similarities are not restricted to the price tag alone and extend to other features like the off-white plastic frame, the 6-inch E-ink screen, and the same ability to display photos, play music and enjoy free cellular connection to download books. Both are also compatible with iPhone or computers.
The areas where the Nook obviously scores are the color touch-sensitive screen for navigation, wireless downloads via AT&T’s 3G Internet or Wi-Fi. The memory can be expanded with the Micro SD expansion slot while the replaceable battery and the ‘Lend Me’ feature obviously have the consumers swaying towards the Nook.
The gadget worth being excited about has been designed with the consumer in mind. Excitedly christened as ‘the king of connectivity and content’, the new kid on the block reserves the winner’s place for itself. It has been said that an early Christmas shopper, who has smartly saved the receipt for his Kindle 2, may just opt for the equally affordable option hitting the shelves, and would have plenty of reason to do so.
Perhaps the biggest edge that Nook has up its sleeve in the e-reader marketplace is its in-the-store support. With over 700 retailers, as many as 40,000 retail advisers, and a site that is counted among the top 20 on the Internet, Nook surely is in an enviable position to reach its prospective customers. All you have to do is to take a Nook into a Barnes& Noble and you have access to tailored content via Wi-Fi. What’s more, you will also have access to the entire text of each of the books in the firm’s Ebook Store – albeit for only the duration that you are in the store.
As company sources believe, the bookstore has an extremely crucial role to play and is going to be a catalyst for demand generation. In fact, as the world’s largest bookstore, this surely is an enormous edge. Customers will not really be up to downloading the E-Books, but will actually stream them employing a technology that the company is not too eager to talk about as yet.
If you are wondering whether you’ll have to buy your e-books at Barnes and Noble, let this be put to rest. Nook supports ePub and so you are free to use e-books from multiple vendors. For all those who think that Nook was rushed just to steal some of Kindle DX’s holiday cheer, well they sure have their reasons to be the devil’s advocate.
To begin with, the touch screen is at times non-responsive, and tries the patience of the user. Its screen is achingly slower than that of Kindle 2 and takes 3 seconds to turn a page, which is 3 times longer than its competitor. In case you are in the middle of a sentence, even 3 seconds can prove disruptive.
You got to give it to Nook for adding the city-library feature of lending books. Yes, like most friends do, you can actually lend a book from your Nook to another Nook owner for a period of two weeks. It is here that the fine print cannot be overlooked. This ‘Lend Me’ feature can be used only with others using Barnes and Noble application software, after the publisher okays it. The book disappears from your Nook while your friend is reading it in his.
The built-in Wi-Fi of Nook at times fails to notify the owner of actually being in a hot spot. The Kindle appears to many, as being faster, thinner and lighter than the Nook. Yet with the Nook, you are allowed to judge a book by its cover, thanks to designers like Jack Spade, Kate Spade and Jonathan Adler. William Lynch, president of Barnes and Noble, sums the Nook up by touting its most transportable ePub compatibility, allowing the reader to buy any book, at any time, and at any place.
This should give you a clear idea of the Nook, though for any other queries that you may have, turn to e-reader blog. Or for the latest from the world of e-readers, log on to e-reader forum.

G Is for Growing: 30 Years of Research on Children and Sesame Street $47.95 This volume—a collection and synthesis of key research studies since the program’s inception over three decades ago—serves as a marker of the significant role that Sesame Street plays in the education and socialization of young children. Editors Shalom M. Fisch and Rosemarie T. Truglio have included contributions from both academics and researchers directly associated with Sesame Street, creating a resource that describes the processes by which educational content and research are integrated into production, reviews major studies on the impact of Sesame Street on children, and examines the extension of Sesame Street into other cultures and media. In the course of this discussion, the volume also explores broader topics, including methodological issues in conducting media-based research with young children, the longitudinal impact of preschoolers’ viewing of educational versus non-educational television, and crosscultural differences in the treatment of educational content.As the first substantive book on Sesame Street research in more than two decades, “G” is for Growing provides insight into the research process that has informed the development of the program and offers valuable guidelines for the integration of research into future educational endeavors. Intended for readers in media studies, children and the media, developmental studies, and education, this work is an exceptional chronicle of the growth and processes behind what is arguably the most influential program in children’s educational television. |

Source: Wikipedia. Free updates online. Not illustrated. Excerpt: The Scarlet Pimpernel is a classic play and adventure novel by Baroness Emmuska Orczy, set during the Reign of Terror following the start of the French Revolution. The story is a precursor to the “disguised superhero” tales such as Zorro or Batman. The play was produced and adapted by Julia Neilson and Fred Terry. It first opened on 15 October 1903 at Nottinghams Theatre Royal; it was not a success. Terry, however, had confidence in the play and, with a rewritten last act, took it to London where it opened at the New Theatre on 5 January 1905. The premier of the London production was enthusiastically received by the audience, but critics considered the play ‘old-fashioned.’ In spite of negative reviews, the play became a popular success, running 122 performances and enjoying numerous revivals. The Scarlet Pimpernel became a favourite of London audiences, playing more than 2,000 performances and becoming one of the most popular shows staged in England to that date. The novel was published soon after the play’s opening and was an immediate success. Orczy gained a following of readers in Britain and throughout the world. The popularity of the novel encouraged her to write a number of sequels for her “reckless daredevil” over the next 35 years. The |

3DTV Content Capture, Encoding and Transmission: Building the Transport Infrastructure for Commercial Services $94.95 The First to Present 3D Technology as Applied to Commercial Programming for the ConsumerThis is the first book to provide an overview of the technologies, standards, and infrastructure required to support the rollout of commercial real-time 3 Dimension Television/3 Dimension Video (3DTV/3DV) services. It reviews the required standards and technologies that have emerged—or are just emerging—in support of such new services, with a focus on encoding mechanisms formats and the buildout of the transport infrastructure.While there is a lot of academic interest in various intrinsic aspects of 3DTV, service providers and consumers ultimately tend to take a system-level view. 3DTV stakeholders need to consider the overall architectural system-level view of what it will take to deploy an infrastructure that is able to reliably and cost-effectively deliver a commercial-grade quality bundle of multiple 3DTV content channels to paying customers with high expectations. This text, therefore, takes such a system-level view, revealing how to actually deploy the technology.Presented in a self-contained, tutorial fashion, the book begins with a review of 3DTV in the marketplace and the opportunities and challenges therein. Recent industry events related to 3D are also discussed. From there, the fundamental visual concepts supporting stereographic perception of 3DTV/3DV are explained, as are encoding approaches. Readers will understand frame mastering and compression for conventional stereo video (CSV) and more advanced methods such as video plus depth (V+D), multi-view video plus depth (MV+D), and layered depth video (LDV).Next, the elements of an end-to-end 3DTV system are covered from a satellite delivery perspective, with explanations of digital video broadcasting (DVB) and DVB-handheld. Transmission technologies are assessed for terrestrial and IPTV-based architecture; IPv6 is reviewed in detail. Finally, the book presents 3DTV/3DV |

A Budget Of Paradoxes $19.99 A Budget of Paradoxes, originally published in 1915, is mathematician Augustus De Morgan’s most accessible and entertaining work. Well-known for his wit, De Morgan takes aim at those people he calls “paradoxers,” which in modern terms would most closely resemble crackpots. Paradoxers, however, are not crazy, necessarily-rather, they hold views wildly outside the accepted sphere. If you believed the world was round when everyone else knew that it was flat, you would be a paradoxer. In this book, De Morgan reviews a number of books from his own library written by such “crackpots” who claim to have solved a great many of the puzzles of mathematics and science, including squaring a circle, creating perpetual motion, and overcoming gravity. Each is thoroughly put in his place in ways both entertaining and informative to readers. Skeptics, students of science, and anyone who likes pondering a puzzle will find this book a delightful read.British mathematician AUGUSTUS DE MORGAN (1806-1871) invented the term mathematical induction. Among his many published works is Trigonometry and Double Algebra (1849). |

A History of Women’s Seclusion in the Middle East: The Veil in the Looking Glass $32.8 Learn how the seclusion of women can be used as a feminist defense against exploitation—and as an empowering forceInternationally acclaimed author Ann Chamberlin’s book, A History of Women’s Seclusion in the Middle East: The Veil in the Looking Glass is a critical interdisciplinary examination of the practice of seclusion of women throughout the Middle East from its beginnings. This challenging exploration discusses the reasons that seclusion may not be as oppressive as is presently generally accepted, and, in fact, may be an empowering force for women in both the West and East. Readers are taken on a controversial, belief-bending journey deep into the surprising origins and diverse aspects of female seclusion to find solid evidence of its surprising use as a defense against monolithic cultural exploitation. The author uses her extensive knowledge of Middle Eastern culture, language, and even archeology to provide a convincing assertion challenging the Western view that seclusion was and is a result of women’s oppression. A History of Women’s Seclusion in the Middle East goes beyond standard feminist rhetoric to put forth shocking notions on the real reasons behind women’s seclusion and how it has been used to counteract cultural exploitation. The book reviews written evidence, domestic and sacred architecture, evolution, biology, the clan, the environment for seclusion, trade, capital and land, slavery, honor, and various other aspects in a powerful feminist argument that seclusion is actually a valuable empowering force of protection from the influence of today’s society. The text includes thirty black and white figures with useful descriptions to illustrate and enhance reader understanding of concepts.A History of Women’s Seclusion in the Middle East discusses at length: prehistoric evidence of seclusion the sense of honor in the Middle East a balanced look at the Islamic |

A Mango in the Hand: A Story Told Through Proverbs $16.95 Francisco is finally old enough to journey to the mango grove all by himself to gather the mangoes for a special dinner. But bees swarm the fruit, and Francisco has trouble picking them from the tree. He returns to his father several times, and each time his father shares a different proverb to inspire Francisco to continue trying. “Querer es poder. Where there’s a will, there’s a way!” Finally, Francisco is able to gather some mangoes, and on his way home he stops to visit his uncle, grandmother, and aunt. Francisco shares his mangoes with them, and by the time he gets home he no longer has any! “Es mejor dar que recibir. Sometimes it’s better to give than to receive.” Luckily for Francisco, his generosity does not go unnoticed. “Amor con amor se paga. Love is repaid with love.”Readers are sure to be charmed by this humorous story about problem solving and sharing. The book includes a glossary of Spanish words.Praise for A Mango in the Hand“A “story told through proverbs” could easily go terribly wrong, but this sweet tale succeeds beautifully. This smoothly written family story is filled with warmth and humor and incorporates a blending of well-placed proverbs in both Spanish and English to drive the story’s themes. Digitally colored pencil-and-ink cartoon drawings reflect the lush greens of summertime and outdoor living in this intergenerational barrio.” –Kirkus Reviews |

A Primer of Clinical Psychiatry $59.95 This is a text book of clinical psychiatry that is concise yet comprehensive, up to date, and readily accessible. It aims to be an easy entry to the pertinent facts of clinical psychiatry for medical students and students of mental health disciplines; a resource for established clinicians, including GPs; and also a brief yet thorough overview for the more advanced psychiatric trainee or mental health professional. There is a particular focus on providing simple clinical tips. Liberal use of fact boxes and summary lists ensures readers will have at their fingertips the facts required for undergraduate OSCE exams in clinical psychiatry (an appendix provides explicit examples), as well as equipping more advanced readers with the basic knowledge underpinning post-graduate exams in clinical psychiatry and related allied health disciplines. To effect coherence of approach and minimal overlap between chapters, the bulk of the text has been written by two authors who are experienced psychiatrists with expertise in a broad range of clinical and research areas. Introductory chapters cover the psychiatric interview and mental state and clinical investigations relevant to psychiatry. The second section is an overview of all of the major syndromes of psychiatry, covering epidemiology, aetiology and clinical aspects, and including discussion of specific treatment approaches. A separate section reviews more generally, biological and psychosocial aspects of treatment in psychiatry, with worked case examples.coherence of approach and minimal overlap with specialist material integrated clinical tips and skillscovers clinical and written examination requirementsreferencing WHO, ICD and DSM Va glossary of termsfact boxes and summary lists |

A Tale of Two Systems: Lean and Agile Software Development for Business Leaders $54.95 This business parable reviews two different systems development projects. One project was an abject, expensive failure, while the other succeeded in creating a major new revenue stream, bringing in new customers. By reviewing the tales of these two systems, readers will develop a better understanding of what works and what doesn’t when it comes to the leadership and action steps required to reinvent a company’s procedures to get in step with the times.CEO Evan Nogelmeyer discovers to his dismay that in today’s business world, technology is not just for technologists. But does he discover this soon enough and once he does, does he have the tools and the business savvy he needs to stave off disaster? Evan and his team are all well-intentioned, successful business leaders with advanced degrees and backgrounds in marketing and business. But, without technical backgrounds, do they have what it takes to manage the technology overhaul so critical to the very survival of their company and the future of their own careers?A Tale of Two Systems: Lean and Agile Software Development for Business Leaders reviews two fictional systems development projects: Cremins United and Troubled Real Estate Information Management, both launched at the imaginary Cremins Corporation. Cremins is a venerable printing company that must transform itself to survive in the Internet age.
