Product Description
The intended readership for this book is the programmer who has experience of programming, preferably in a high level language. The overall aim is to give the reader a working knowledge of POP11 and the text and program editing facilities available on the POPLOG system. The book will also be useful for undergraduates taking a course in Artificial Intelligence (AI), and for cognitive psychologists, who will find POP11 a more than adequate language to express theoretical approaches to human cognition. In the commercial world POP11 is a major contender to LISP and PROLOG as the development language for intelligent knowledge based systems. POP11 will offer the experienced PROLOG programmer easier, though high level, ways of performing particular tasks that are difficult to conceptualise and write in PROLOG. ... Read more

Product Description
In POP YOUR PARADIGM! You will find the story of Sandra Daly, a woman who, at the age of thirty-five, made the discovery that she did not have to continue to live her life at the mercy of that voice.
The paradigm that she had lived her whole life from had her convinced that she was doomed to be nothing more than a victim of domestic violence. She lived from an ingrained belief that she was ugly, that she was not worthy of being loved or happy, that she was put on this planet to suffer, and that she deserved to be abused. She believed that she would always have more problems than she could ever hope to handle.
POP YOUR PARADIGM! Shows how Sandra changed her whole life by changing her patterns and habits of thought. It shows how she was able to begin catching herself thinking those thoughts that kept her life small and full of pain. As she was able to catch herself in the middle of the ‘paradigm’ thoughts, she was then able to shift those thoughts to something more positive and life affirming. And as she deliberately focused her thoughts in a positive way, her actions and choices became healthier and happier. As her actions and choices became healthier and happier, her whole life became healthier, happier, more stable, and much, much bigger!
POP YOUR PARADIGM! It is a wonderful, powerful story of triumph, but not of one person over another. No, this is a story of one woman’s triumph over the most powerfully controlling thing ever—her subconscious programming, her paradigm.
As you read this book, you will find that this is not just Sandra’s story. It is everyone’s story. Every person on Earth has paradigms, and every single person on this planet has the ability to neutralize those paradigms if they choose to and if they’re willing to make the effort. This book provides a real life example of how it’s done, and some incredibly effective tools for doing it. ... Read more

Product Description
High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! POP-2, often referred to as POP2 was a programming language developed around 1970 from the earlier language POP-1 (originally named COWSEL) by Robin Popplestone and Rod Burstall at the University of Edinburgh. It drew roots from many sources: the languages LISP and ALGOL 60, and theoretical ideas from Landin. It used an incremental compiler, which gave it some of the flexibility of an interpreted language, including allowing new function definitions at run time and modification of function definitions while a program was running (both of which are features of dynamic compilation), without the overhead of an interpreted language. It has been described as 'The first true functional language' at HOPL, the History of Programming Languages web site. ... Read more

Product Description
High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! POP-11 is a reflective, incrementally compiled programming language with many of the features of an interpreted language. It is the core language of the Poplog programming environment developed originally by the University of Sussex, and recently in the School of Computer Science at the University of Birmingham which hosts the Poplog website. POP-11 is an evolution of the language POP-2, developed in Edinburgh University and features an open stack model (like Forth). It is mainly procedural, but supports declarative language constructs, including a pattern matcher and is mostly used for research and teaching in Artificial Intelligence, although it has features sufficient for many other classes of problems. It is often used to introduce symbolic programming techniques to programmers of more conventional languages like Pascal, who find POP syntax more familiar than that of Lisp. One of POP-11's features is that it supports first-class functions. ... Read more

The Internet's "killer app" is not the World Wide Web or Push technologies:it is humble electronic mail. More people use email than any other Internetapplication. As the number of email users swells, and as email takes on an ever greater role in personal and business communication, Internet mail protocols have become not just an enabling technology for messaging, but a programming interface on top of which core applications are built.Programming Internet Email unmasks the Internet Mail System and showshow a loose federation of connected networks have combined to form theworld's largest and most heavily trafficked message system.Programming Internet Email tames the Internet's most popularmessaging service. For programmers building applications on top ofemail capabilities, and power users trying to get under the hood oftheir own email systems, Programming Internet Email stands outas an essential guide and reference book. In typical O'Reilly fashion,Programming Internet Email covers the topic with nineteen tightlywritten chapters and five useful appendixes.Following a thorough introduction to the Internet Mail System, the book isdivided into five parts:Part I covers email formats, from basic text messages to theguts of MIME.Secure email message formats (OpenPGP and S/MIME),mailbox formats and other commonly used formats are detailed inthis reference section.Part II describes Internet email protocols: SMTP and ESMTP,POP3 and IMAP4. Each protocol is covered in detail to expose theInternet Mail System's inner workings.Part III provides a solid API reference for programmers workingin Perl and Java. Class references are given for commonly used Perlmodules that relate to email and the Java Mail API.Part IV provides clear and concise examples of how to incorporate emailcapabilities into your applications. Examples are given in both Perl andJava.Part V covers the future of email on the Internet. Means and methods forcontrolling spam email and newly proposed Internet mail protocols arediscussed.Appendixes to Programming Internet Email provide a host of explanatoryinformation and useful references for the programmer and avid user alike,including a comprehensive list of Internet RFCs relating to email, MIMEtypes and a list of email related URLs.Programming Internet Email will answer all of your questionsabout mail and extend your abilities into this most popular messaging frontier.Amazon.com Review
For most users, e-mail is just another application on theircomputers. For developers, however, Internet e-mail involves adizzying array of standards and formats. Programming InternetEmail takes all of today's e-mail standards and puts them togetherin a readable form.

David Wood has compiled his knowledge of abroad array of topics to create this fine guide for both developersand the technologically curious. He explains what makes Internete-mail work and then dives into the Multipurpose Internet MailExtensions (MIME), Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions(S/MIME), Open Pretty Good Protocol (OpenPGP), and Post OfficeProtocol 3 (POP3) standards. Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP),Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP), and vCard--the e-mail versionof business cards--are also covered.

For each topic, the booksimply explains its purpose and then presents its command usage withcode examples. This discussion will be understood best by programmers,but the opening introductions easily reach those with more generalexpertise.

Beyond the basics, Wood presents the Java Mail API,antispamming techniques, attachment scrubbing, and Java-based IMAPmailbox monitoring.

While this book is a simple collection ofseparate technology discussions, it offers universal information one-mail. Illustrative and filled with facts, this book will help youdesign your own e-mail client--or simply understand how oneworks. --Stephen W. Plain ... Read more

AMAZING BOOK!
The title of this review says it all! Reading this book takes you right back to the 80's metal scene. The book contains interviews and stories of some of thebiggest acts to ever get on stage such as KISS, Bon Jovi,Guns 'N Roses, Iron Maiden, Alice Cooper and many others. At the beginning of the book, one of it's authors, Steven Fallon does an amazing job of describing the 80's metal scene and how the Network Interviews came to be. This book is a must read and one of thegreatest books on the heavy metal era.

a good book for new mail admins
I wished it had gone into more depth, but it is a good book for beginning UNIX email administrators.

Good book for beginners...
Bought this book to learn more about how email works so I could fight all the spam I am receiving.I did learn a lot about headers and how email works in general, but it didn't answer all my questions.Still, if you're looking for a general overview on email, this is a good book for the money.

What a technical book should be.
This book is an excellent introduction to e-mail programming andprotocols.It is as easy to read as any novel, explains everything neatlyand concisely, and provides excellent examples.

This covers what a mailserver does and how it works, but really concentrates on mail client-serverinteraction.It goes into SMTP, ESMTP, MIME, POP3, IMAP, and vCard format. The examples are clear and concise, and it includes actual code in Perland Java.This provides the reader with excellent, platform independentways to do what they need to do.

The writing style is excellent.One ofthe most fluid technical books I've ever read.In fact, all I needed wasone Sunday to read the book from front to back.

The code provided issuperb.It's easy to use, easy to understand, and aides in the learningprocess.For me, the code is invaluable.It has personally saved mecountless hours of work.

Finally, this book doesn't delve in tremendousdetail.It tells the reader how to program for e-mail, but doesn't go intothe RFC's as much as many people would like it to.I think, however, thatthis is a real strength.Many technical books bog the reader down withirrelevant information.This books avoids this, but still gives the userinformation on how to retrieve any additional information ifneeded.

Though there are not many e-mail programming books out there,this is by far the best one.I cannot recommend this book highly enough.

This topic is absolute dynamite
Six months ago there were no books on how to program email using standard protocols.Now there are three!Kevin Johnson, John Rhoton and David Wood have all brought out excellent books on the subject.My only gripes withthis book are that it has no sample code available and too many errors. Ifyour budget is tight just get Rhoton's bookand a copy of the RFCs, but ifyou are serious about this stuff you are going to need all three books aswell as all the mail RFCs. ... Read more

Product Description
If you want to reach today's teen readers, you better stay in touch with what interests them. And, what interests them is pop culture. Pop culture permeates almost all facets of teen life and it can be used in almost every facet of "libraryland." Librarians who learn to connect with pop culture are more likely to be able to recreate the emotional realities of teenage life, enhancing their ability to work with, understand, and serve teens. Chapters cover topics of special interest to teens and offer pop-culture inspired programming ideas for: books, magazines, comics; crafts and fashion; music; computers and video games; art of comics, graffiti, manga; TV; and, movies. Bartel and Young have presented all their information in a creative way which reflects the content, using lists, sidebars, quotes, etc much as you would find in a popular magazine or on a show like VH1's "Pop-Up Video" or "I Love the 80's." ...

Just Superb
A comprehensive, well-written, and fun reference book.

What a terrific idea: non-network television programs released in syndication. Author Hal Erickson opens with a chapter on the basics of television syndication and then provides listings and descriptions of the shows, by decade, within categories (adventure, kids, religious, music/variety, etc.) The meat of the book discusses how each show came to be created, the thrust of the show's concept, and opinions on the show's success, lack of success, or particular quirks.

Sally Jesse? In here. People Are Talking? In here. Scared Straight? In here. The Advenutres of Blinky, The Crown Theatre Starring Gloria Swanson, Judge Roy Bean, The Jim Backus Show, At the Movies, Family Classics, Raold Dahl's Tales of the Unexpected, Orson Welles' Great Mysteries, Johnny Sokko and His Flying Robot, Double Play with Durocher and Day, Card Sharks, The John Davidson Show, The 700 Club, Charles in Charge...

The mind reels.

Product Description

Daytime soap operas. Evening news. Late-night talk shows. Television has long been defined by its daily schedule, and the viewing habits that develop around it. Technologies like DVRs, iPods, and online video have freed audiences from rigid time constraints—we no longer have to wait for a program to be "on" to watch it—but scheduling still plays a major role in the production of television.

Prime-time series programming between 8:00 and 11:00 p.m. has dominated most critical discussion about television since its beginnings, but Beyond Prime Time brings together leading television scholars to explore how shifts in television’s industrial practices and new media convergence have affected the other 80% of the viewing day. The contributors explore a broad range of non-prime-time forms including talk shows, soap operas, news, syndication, and children’s programs, non-series forms such as sports and made-for-television movies, as well as entities such as local affiliate stations and public television. 

Importantly, all of these forms rely on norms of production, financing, and viewer habits that distinguish them from the practices common among prime-time series and often from each other. Each of the chapters examines how the production practices and textual strategies of a particular programming form have shifted in response to sweeping industry changes, together telling the story of a medium in transition at the beginning of the twenty-first century.

Product Description
...Gianakos has done for television what Roget did for the Thesaurus and Bartlett did for Familiar Quotations. He has codified the industry, brought order out of chaos, made sense of what for decades was insensible. He is a pioneer, and his works will have a significant effect for generations."--From the Introduction by Allan Kalmus For more than a decade, Gianakos' truly comprehensive chronicles of American television have been considered classic references. Here is the long-anticipated volume six. While nominally covering the television seasons 1984-1986, in fact the volume's six much amplified appendices--on Pulitzer Prize fiction and plays, Nobel literature laureates, classical Greek drama and Shakespeare, selected 19th and 20th-century writers and their representative teleplays, and western figures as depicted upon the small screen--embrace the period through the close of 1990. The overview again blends a thorough discussion of individual series and specials with a political, sociological, and psychological examination of the whole range of powerful images conveyed. As in past volumes, a "Days and Times" section covers virtually all that was of dramatic import on and off the major networks and cable. Following are sections on series initiated previously; series inaugurated during the current period; series not previously chronicled; and a cumulative index of series titles. The new work is further enhanced by a clean format with justified margins and bold print. Allan Kalmus, the nation's first TV publicist and longtime representative of Bob Hope, has provided an invigorating introduction, collecting some of his own potent reminiscences on pristine, live video. ...

Must Have For the TV Video Collector
I purchased the first two books way back when they first came out (1959-1975 and 1975-1980) and I have found these two books to be more valuable in the age of TV Programs on DVD because they list not only the titles of programs, but the actors.And the order of episodes is especially helpful if you are recording rare TV shows.

I didn't know the author had more books out after 1980.I'm definitely interested because this author is very thorough and his books are a must have for anyone interested in early TV.

An amazing piece of work.
This is THE reference for anyone, professional or amateur, who is writing an episode guide or just wants to have a list of the episodes of a given drama in airdate order. An invaluable resource, as shown by the number ofWeb-based episode guides that cite one or all of these volumes asreferences. For most TV series, Gianakos also critiques certain episodes,and puts the shows into the context of their time. The 1959-75 volume is mypersonal favorite, capturing the era I believe to have been TV's best. Thisis an inexplicably underrated series of books. ... Read more
