THE Best Got Even Better
By Brian M. Stoppee
When the CS6 edition of "Adobe Audition CC Classroom in a Book" (CIB) was released, we gave it a glowing 5 star review. We had been working in audio for decades, didn't really connect with Adobe's previous suite-included audio app, SoundBooth (SB), and could harness the power of Audition (Au), at least not until its CIB came along. Once we studied (not read, studied) Au CIB CS6, we owned a chunk of the power Adobe intended us to have in Au, which was missing from SB.

That said, how did the Adobe Press (Peachpit) team do with the CC edition? Excellent question. We were so curious that we had compared the two side-by-side, spread-by-spread. CS6's final chapter (16) appears to be missing, but it's not. Most chapters are more extensive. So, with slightly more pages, the sixteenth chapter is available as a PDF.

The DVD, which has been in the back the CIBs forever (this one, we estimate is our 96th CIB, starting in 1997) appears to be missing as well, but that appearance is also deceiving. Adobe Press now delivers the work files online. Are they getting cheap? That's not it. Unlike the 26 previous years of Adobe apps, CC is a very different deal. Instead of a full version revision every 18 to 24 months, Adobe is doing dot releases (dot releases?). Au CC is actually Au 6.0. Every few months look for updates called something like Au 6.1, 6.2, etc (that's where the "dots" come in).

Adobe Press has devised a fabulous solution to keep your library of CC CIBs fresh. At no additional charge, they'll add new chapters and new work files, online, too, as the dot releases come out. No, that doesn't mean you'll never need to buy another CIB. Life isn't like that. What you need from that life, right now, is found at: [...] with this book's redemption code.

CH 1 - AUDIO INTERFACING - At first glance, some readers will roll their eyes at where this book begins. It looks like a bunch of boring technical information about how audio gear interfaces with Macs and Windows. By the time you get to the end of the chapter, you might get it. Or, it might take you a few chapters until you go, "THAT'S why I needed to learn that stuff." So, don't breeze through this. Give it a half hour or so.

CH 2 - THE AUDITION ENVIRONMENT - If you've been shooting video with a dSLR (digital single lens reflex) camera, have a good handle on it, but you're getting into Audition, because you're video's great but you're audio stinks, Audition is not going to feel like completely comfortable territory. The layout of this chapter permits a great deal of information to be included in these pages without it ever feeling crammed or confusing. Nevertheless, you're going to need at least 90 minutes to try to get very, very at home with this UI (user interface) and the app's key panels.

CH 3 - BASIC EDITING - If you're new to audio editing, there's nothing "basic" about this chapter. Even if you're coming into this from another audio app, this is the point in this learning process where Audition becomes more clear and you begin to feel you have a handle on what it's all about. You might need an hour and a half, if you're working though it slowly.

CH 4 - SIGNAL PROCESSING - Don't let this chapter's name fool you. It's sounds like nothing relative to what you will be doing, but you're probably wrong. The chapter is a reference work. Au comes with a bunch of effects which are essential in refining your tracks. Chances are the terminology makes no sense. This chapter makes it all come together. Bookmark it.

CH 5 - AUDIO RESTORATION - The word "restoration" sounds as if you're working with archival clips but it's relative to cleaning up even new audio. We use the majority of everything discussed in this chapter for many of our Au projects, which deserves at least an hour. If you have been using the Photoshop lasso tool to select portions of images, you'll be in your comfort zone doing the same for audio segments. Bookmark this chapter, too.

CH 6 - MASTERING - Craig Anderton, who wrote this book, appears to know the technology and creativity of the music recording world in his sleep. This short chapter is something of a thrill for anyone who envisioned being behind the big board on the other side of the glass while the tracks for the next Grammy award winner are being laid down. Whether you work with Audition on an 11" MacBook Air or at a bank of 2 or 3 Wacom Cintiq 22HD touch displays, these lessons make you feel like maybe you could do this. It's so much fun that you'll want to give it an hour. However, this is not just playing make-believe. This empowers you to the point that Audition is no longer intimidating. By the end of the chapter, it feels like you own Au.

CH 7 - SOUND DESIGN - If we had not been blessed to hang around some fabulous video-audio professionals in the late 1980s, we may have never come to know the term and concept for its early emergence into the digital environment. For you, "design" may remind you of the visuals behind a website, the look of a high-graphic book, or the art direction behind a Hollywood film's sets, lighting, and costumes. Yet, it's all applicable to the audio signatures of such a film. Some of the samples and projects this CIB provides are just so cool, when you've completed the lessons, you will appreciate all of what motion picture sound is about for the rest of your life.

CH 8 - CREATING AND RECORDING FILES - So far, this book has been all about postproduction, meaning all our audio has already been captured during process of obtaining these clips. Without fail as we have almost completed a project, we feel there's something which requires a voice over (VO). Until we got to know Audition, we'd take a familiar but less than ideal approach. The previous edition of this book upped our VO game. If you've been wanting to do live recording, you'll be experimenting with these lessons and doing a little extra credit work for around an hour.

CH 9 - MULTITRACK EDITOR ORIENTATION - Have you been working in Premiere Pro? Then multitrack editing is not so mysterious. Though we have been at this for over a year, we still could not breeze through this chapter. This chapter was a much-needed revisit to some Au features we have the need to perfect. There are some things we never learned about channel mapping or how to side-chain events. If you have no idea what we've just said, give this chapter at least an hour and it will become as plain as a sunny day.

CH 10 - THE MULTITRACK MIXER VIEW - This is a very short chapter. Some will jump in and out of it in less than a half hour. It took us through the intricacies of the Au boards on a very advanced level. If you have been working on these lessons, all day. Take a break before getting into this one, or you'll never retain these important details.

CH 11 - EDITING CLIPS - These lessons are both fun and challenging. It pushes the reader into some very advanced uses of Au which you may not have known was there. It starts out with styles used by DJs, whom you may think of a knocking down projects on-the-fly, but all of this is very planned, purposeful, and conceivably complex. If you want to study it to the level we recommend, devote 90 minutes to it.

CH 12 - CREATING MUSIC WITH SOUND LIBRARIES - This chapter is heavy on recording for the music industry, which comes with some of its own jargon. At this point, Audition becomes extremely involved and proves that it's very much the real deal of audio. It's admittedly a little baffling at times, if working with music tracks are new to you. It's at least an hour of study if you really want to get to know how all of this works.

CH 13 - RECORDING IN THE MULTITRACK EDITOR - This chapter is another fun one for us. It goes deeper into the process begun in 12. Like the previous chapter, even if you're not in Au for music, it improves your Audition skills. We fully understand that if you're using Au to augment your work in other CC apps, investing another hour might make you a little antsy, but calm down. It's worth it.

CH 14 - AUTOMATION - There's a great deal of power in Audition, but for some tasks it may seem extremely tedious. You do basic things over and over, again and again to the point that you begin to feel like you're a line worker in a fast food restaurant, which has a very limited menu board. Great audio engineering avoids the tedium by automating tasks. This is where you learn how to do that.

CH 15 - MIXING - The final chapter in the bound book isn't a final exam or a last word. It's more of a door opener as to where you need to go, next, and the skills you can find within yourself to get there. Side-bars such as "The brain and mixing" and "Acoustics and hearing" set the tone (pun intended) going forward. It ought to get both your left and right brain lobes stimulated for the power this book has provided, as more of a "Start" button than a 2,000 page set of volumes for audio + Audition. A good example is the use of what you've learning in the "Testing your acoustics" section.

CH 16 - AUDIO/VIDEO APPLICATIONS - As mentioned earlier, one of the most "fun" chapters from the previous edition is not in the bound book. It was a chapter on scoring audio to film clips and how composers of Hollywood films lay music into a movie. Yes, it was fascinating, but how this works probably was useful to very few of the readers. The PDF chapter has been fully rewritten and is applicable to many audio + visuals uses. You'll want to study this one. For our multimedia purposes, it brings it all together.

CONCLUSION - It may be inappropriate for us to crown this as "The Best Book on Adobe Audition" since the number of books on the app are minimal. We would never accept a contract to try to top Craig Anderton's expertise on the subject, so maybe other authors have been scared away. Nevertheless, for anyone wanting to get into Au for extensive work or just perfecting voice tracks from dSLR talking-head footage, this is THE must-have learning resource. It's your single-source desktop reference guide. This is beyond-the-shadow-of-a-doubt five star. We're impressed at how the previous edition's "best" got even better.

Preliminary review on esthetics.
By Dave Murley
Adobe makes software, software for creating publications. Why on earth can't they put decent illustrations in a book their creative team creates? The new Adobe dark interface shows up particularly poorly in illustrations which are small and seem to be low resolution screen shots. The index drops to 8 point font. This was a relatively expensive book, surely they could have spent a little more on paper. But it is nice paper and the margins are wide. I like to annotate my books with notes and highlighting - lots of space and no bleed through, I love it. I'll have more to say when I've completed the book.

Excellent Starter (PLUS) Book!
By Bob in Richmond
I have learned quite a bit from this book, the only one available to far. Unfortunately, some material is left out. That's not the fault of the authors; this program, like so many of the Adobe CC programs is so feature rich that the book would probably grow to an unmanageable size and probably cost as well. Nevertheless, it's a great starting point (plus) containing information on features that might serve to be all some folks would need!

Overall, very helpful!

Missing important information.
By WexfordPress
This books reads like the publisher found a niche with no book, hired an experienced technical writer, and put it together in fine fashion using a good backup team. But the book seems to have been written to order by someone who has not done many if any Inkscape web sites. Here are some critical omissions: there is no References (Bibliography) section, there are no references to actual web sites that use Inkscape, the distinction between an svg web page and an html web page containing svg elements is not made clear, and there is almost zero discussion of the nuts and bolts of embedding svg into an html page, and there is no reference I have found to the technique for making a button or other offpage reference active. There is no discussion of the limitations of svg compared to html or its unique advantages.
Finally the presentation is overfull of text about what is to be discussed instead of the actual discussion. The user can do better with less money buying Tavmong Bah's bigger and better volume Inkscape: Guide to a Vector Drawing Program (4th Edition) (SourceForge Community Press) or the older but still useful guide by The Book of Inkscape: The Definitive Guide to the Free Graphics Editor

integrating vector and raster
By W Boudville
The 0.48 should give you pause. It is perhaps the most provocative aspect of this book; it deals with software that is not 'officially' released as a polished product. Yet given this, Hiitola shows a level of ability present in Inkscape that seems easy to pick up and use.

The many screen captures of examples demonstrate how to use this to develop scalable vector graphics. The concept of drawing an image that can be arbitrarily scaled up or down without losing resolution is powerful, if you have never met this idea before. The text shows that this contrasts vividly with raster approaches that are exemplified by JPEG, GIF and BMP images.

Importantly, Inkscape lets you import those raster files into your vector image. This lets you integrate the free flowing and free scale drawing that characterises Inkscape with real world legacy images, that are inherently raster. An important point that the text helps you grasp. Because "pure" vector images are not that common as a practical consideration. A webpage on a commercial website might have to have raster images depicting some product or scene. Inkscape gives you the means to merge in scalable vector data.

Speaking of images, and photos specifically, the book is upfront in acknowledging that you cannot do intricate photo manipulation. For this, other packages like Adobe Illustrator might be better suited. But keep in mind that this is only version 0.48 of Inkscape. Several filters are already available, like blur and bump. It is very reasonable to expect that as Inkscape [rapidly?] improves, many other filters will soon be provided.

The book also discusses, albeit briefly, the overall design of a website. Useful in getting you to think about carefully designing a consistent approach to an entire website, that makes it easy for a visitor to navigate without getting confused. Perhaps the brevity of this portion of the narrative was because its guidelines are not restricted to using Inkscape, and the author did not want to stray too far off topic.

Inconsistent and outdated read, would not recommend it to anyone.
By Elthar
I really expected much more from this book. The author is claiming that the book is meant for Inkscape users and webdesigners, but i really don't see anything new or really useful in here.
People that know how to use Inkscape don't need this book at all, for example i read only one full book on it before (the one written by Inkscape community) and a lot of tutorials over Internets, and there was nothing in this book (priced 40$) that i haven't seen in a free tutorial somewhere.
Also, this book is not meant for web designers either. If you already work in this area, like i do, you won't find anything useful either. It is not supposed to be a book about webdesign, it's a book about Inkscape - but why then the author tries to teach her readers web design basics instead, and does the extremely bad job at that?

The author is writing like for a person who heard of web design practices for the first time in their life, but what she recommends is outdated at best, and very doubdtful at worst. Let's put it that way - the examples of her work made with Inkscape as part of the teaching process in this book aren't nearly the best ones in web design, not even good ones, and certainly not something you'll want to copy if you'll be working in this area.
She states that some of the monitor resolutions include 800*600 - really? In what century anyone used that, like maybe 10 years ago? Even contemporary netbook screens are larger than that, for god's sake! She also called people who "make" websites into code by "programmers", betraying the total lack of any knowledge on the subject at all. I refuse to believe that a professional with "12 years of experience in multimedia" (like they call the author in preface) won't know a difference between a "coder" (who writes HTML) and a " programmer" (who does not). She also suggests that we should use freeware clipart in our work. I'd lose my job faster than you can spell "incompetence" if i ever did that.

If she just wrote about the program and how to use it, i would be content with that, but the author also fails to deliver any consistent knowledge on that part either. If you need to know how Inkscape tools work, this is not the book you need. It picks a few tools that are theoretically used by web designers on daily basis and tells you as much as you could learn from a blog post or free tutorial. Well, having a bunch of tutorials in one place could be nice, right, but not for the pricetag of 40$! Don't waste your money on this book.

When Senmut's sculpting chisel slips from his fingers, accidentally killing a sacred dove, Egyptian priests exile the 9-year-old boy to a lifetime of hard labor in the gold mines of Nubia. Wrenched from his family, forced to endure brutal guards and unending heat, Senmut turns to the one thing he loves best -- his sculpture. Can it set him free? "The suspense never flags, and details of the period are so smoothly integrated that the action never slows, either." -- Booklist "An exciting and information-filled adventure. The details of the daily life, customs, and beliefs of the people are wonderfully revealed through the words and deeds of the characters. The story has enough excitement to capture the interest of even the most reluctant readers." -- School Library Journal

When a young sculptor in 13th-century B.C. Egypt accidentally kills a sacred dove, he is sentenced to a lifetime of hard labor in the Nubian mines. Ages 8-12. (Nov.)r
Copyright 1998 Reed Business Information, Inc.

From School Library Journal
Grade 3-6. When his sculptor father is bitten by a cobra, Senmut believes that if he can carve a statue of the healer-goddess Sekhmet that will please her, she will help save Yuf. But as the boy works, he carelessly throws aside a tool, accidentally killing a dove. This thoughtless act, in the ancient Egypt Rubalcaba has re-created, means a death sentence for Senmut, unless the gods intercede on his behalf. They do, and instead of a quick death, the boy is sentenced to work in the mines, which will lead, he knows, to a slower, but no-less-sure, demise. How the protagonist escapes this fate and, by virtue of his talent and some good luck, survives to become Royal Sculptor to the Pharaoh, makes for an exciting and information-filled adventure. The details of daily life, customs, and beliefs of the people are wonderfully revealed through the words and deeds of the characters. The story has enough excitement to capture the interest of most reluctant readers. While several of the events rely on coincidence, careful plotting and foreshadowing prepare readers for some of the ensuing action. The prologue, for example, is told from the cobra's perspective and cleverly sets the stage for what follows. The places and objects are so well described that they can be easily visualized by children unfamiliar with Egyptian artifacts. A substantial glossary helps to identify and explain unfamiliar terms. A fine story for enjoyment or as curriculum support for units on ancient Egypt.?Linda Greengrass, Bank Street College Library, New York City
Copyright 1997 Reed Business Information, Inc.

From Booklist
Gr. 3^-6. When his sculptor father is bitten by a cobra, Senmut carves a statue of Sekhmet, hoping to appease this goddess of illness and healing. Ironically, in his haste he accidentally kills a dove, a capital offense in thirteenth-century-B.C. Egypt, the setting of this fast-paced historical novel. Although the boy's life is spared, he is exiled to toil in the gold mines of Nubia, a life that is literally worse than death. His inherited artistic talent and--perhaps--divine intervention provide a surprising but plausible ending. Since there is enough plot here for a novel much longer than this slender adventure, some of its scenes seem truncated. However, the suspense never flags, and details of the period are so smoothly integrated that the action never slows, either. An appended glossary is useful and informative. Michael Cart

A little dark but not bad
By Will Riddle
I am a really picky homeschooler, and I have been challenged to find wholesome books on Ancient Egypt this year. I approached "A Place in the Sun" with some hesitancy because I was very disappointed with "Maia of Thebes" and some of the other literature often recommended in the homeschooling catalogs I have. Either the recommendations are too dark and spooky, or too liberal and feminist. I have young boys, so I was looking for something that was not too challenging either. This is easier than "Cat of Bubastes" for example.

"Place in the Sun" worked for us ok. I wish it had been a little better---more uplifting tone, maybe, or not quite as stop-start in the pace---but I read it aloud to my 7 and 8 year olds, and they liked it all right. I think they sensed that a typical story on Egypt is not going to be light and lively. There's slavery in the story, punishment, and hardship. But the story works well for boys because the main character is a boy around that age, who has feelings a lot like theirs even though the setting is thousands of years ago. My kids are bright but needed a lot of interpretation of what was going on, though, so I'm glad it was a read aloud. If they had read it silently (which they could have because the vocabulary and length wasn't that challenging), I think most of it would have gone over their heads. They needed help with the culture gap (i.e. names of gods/goddesses, the way the temple and justice system worked, the sociology of cursing/pledges that went on) but they also needed help with literary devices (i.e. foreshadowing, time jumps, some symbols here and there). They got it, though.

Having read Rubalcalba's other non-fiction book on Egypt, I know she knows what she's talking about. She seems to have first hand knowledge of the civilization and I think my boys walked away knowing what living in ancient Egypt as a boy would have really been like. But as thankful as I am for that, it's a totally secular book with little to really make it a proactive good read. There's not even a moral really. I wouldn't seek it out, I guess... I would just use it if you needed it to fill a niche, like I did.

Couldn't stop reading this book.
By A Customer
A great read with lots of emotion. This book gave me a really good feeling of ancient Egypt and made me feel like I was there. I felt like I could have been Senmut because he was a boy my age and seemed to be like me. I learned lots about Egypt while enjoying the characters and setting.

• Pinpoints the triggers for sexual attraction and identifies how men and women, though equally compelled, often express their attraction differently

• Reveals the relationships between sexual attraction, opposite-sex friendship, and romantic attraction, showing how these can blend together in various ways

Review
"Overall, this short book is an easy read that should be of interest to most sexologists. It should be accessible to a wide nonexpert audience. The author offers several intriguing hypotheses about the nature of sexual attraction." - PsycCRITIQUES

Review
"This book is charming. Its author writes in a comfortable style that reminds you of a grand uncle, sitting in a leather chair, chatting about things that he has thought about for some time. The observations are laced with the latest social psychological evidence. The text is also one of a kind―very few scholars, surprisingly, have written so engagingly on the nature and varieties of sexual attraction." (Elaine Hatfield, PhD, Professor of Psychology, University of Hawaii. Recipient of Distinguished Scientist Awards and past president of the Society for the Scientific Study of Sex. Coauthor (with Richard Rapson) of Love, Sex, and Intimacy, Emotional Contagion, and Love and Sex.)

"Sexual Attraction: The Psychology of Allure provides an in-depth, comprehensive, and nuanced analysis of this distinct form of attraction. With thought-provoking insights on every page, James Giles answers questions about sexual attraction you didn't know you had. Highly recommended reading for those who want a smart, articulate, and engaging investigation of the diverse body of sexual attraction research." (Heidi Reeder, PhD, Associate Professor of Communication, Boise State University. Author of Commit To Win: How to Harness the Four Elements of Commitment to Reach Your Goals, and Blogger for Psychology Today.)

"Sexual Attraction: The Psychology of Allure is a wonderful follow-up to his previous, The Nature of Sexual Desire. Employing an engaging mix of philosophical, psychological, and literary analysis, James Giles will make you think deeply about this rarely explored phenomenon." (Robert Scott Stewart, PhD, Professor of Philosophy, Cape Breton University. Coauthor of Philosophizing about Sex.)

"At a time when the internet and mixed-gender workplaces put us in daily contact with more people than any other generation in human history, we need to understand attraction far more than we do. Giles' book is a welcome step in that direction. Part psychology, part philosophy, and part anthropology, the book refers to a wide range of research and is a thought-provoking, enjoyable read. Many books discuss desire or arousal, but this book discusses both―and in the context of attraction, a terrific approach." (Marty Klein, PhD, Certified Sex Therapist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. Author of seven books about sex, including Sexual Intelligence.)

"Ever wonder about sexual attraction and how it differs from other forms of attraction and sexual desire? Well, look no further. Sexual Attraction: The Psychology of Allure, by James Giles (PhD), takes the reader on a fascinating journey to understand the personal, yet complex and multifaceted nature and experience of sexual attraction. The book is educational, illuminating, and colored with vivid quotes from interviews, as well as numerous examples from literature, music, internet videos, poetry, comics, relevant research citations, and historical data." (Terri L. Orbuch, PhD, Professor of Sociology, Oakland University; Research Professor, University of Michigan Institute for Social Research. Author of 5 Simple Steps to Take Your Marriage From Good to Great.)

Review
'An absorbing and haunting novel' -- Daily Mail 'A fascinating novel, a richly woven tapestry presented with a vividness that brings the characters from myth to real life' -- Evening News 'Mary Stewart, enchantress ... an ability to evoke a situation, a mood or a season with a few phrases of prose that are almost verse' -- Daily Telegraph 'A perfect trip out of the present.' --New York Times

Good condition. Slight signs of age, but looks like never opened. Nice cover design. --Seller

From the Publisher
If you haven't read Mary Stewart's Arthurian Saga, you don't know what you're missing. They are must reads for any romance reader, for any lover of Arthurian legend, for any history buff, for any voracious reader, and may be the books to get non-readers started. Basically, they should be read by everyone! Mary Stewart's research for these books is phenomenal. Her understanding of myth and its relationship to fact is remarkable. The books are complex, yet incredibly inviting and you will absolutely love the characters. They also weave together so beautifully that you won't be able to read only one. Two things I find particularly interesting in this series is the portrayal of Arthur and the fall of Camelot. Arthur represents all of humanity in these books as opposed to the more mythical figure you usually see. And the fall of Camelot is more internal rather than external--more about the passions and lusts in the heart rather than a more obvious loss of power. The books go in this order: The Crystal Cave, The Hollow Hills, The Last Enchantment, The Wicked Day. Shauna Summers, Senior Editor

From the Inside Flap
"The richest of the three...mighty...climactic...action and supsense constant, even harrowing."
THE WALL STREET JOURNAL
Arthur is King! But while unchallenged on the battlefield, sinister powers plot to destroy him in his own Camelot. When the rose-gold witch Morgause, Arthur's half-siser, ensnares him into an incestuous liaison--and bears his son, Mordred, to use to her own evil ends--a fatal web of love, betrayal and bloody vengeance is woven.

Merlin and Arthur lovers...
By M. Mills
Anybody who loves tales of Merlin and King Arthur will love this book! This is the third book in Mary Stewart's Arthurian Saga, written from the viewpoint of Merlin, it tells the tale of how Arthur came to be the legend that everyone has heard of.

Unlike many tales of Merlin it is not a fairy tale of unbelievable magic rather it is a brilliantly written story of a man who is extremely powerful, intelligent and gifted, who has a vision of a united Britain and has found the one person who can fulfill this dream, Arthur.

Based on the Legend of Arthur it is rich in detail both of character and landscape, and genuinely takes the reader back in time to the days of chivalry and Camelot!

Enchanted, once more
By Richard W Little
A long time ago, I read Mary Stewart's Merlin Trilogy, which consists of three books: The Crystal Cave, The Hollow Hills, and The Last Enchantment. I had last read the trilogy back in the mid-1980s, back when I was in high school. So, recently I turned back to these old favorites, and found myself enjoying the tale once again.

Here's a brief background of the story, without spoiling it too much for potential readers. England is suffering under fractured leadership following the departure of the Romans, some time before. England is broken up into several small kingdoms, with a High King to hold them all together, and to try to repell the Saxon threat already encamped on the shores. Into this time, Merlin is born, the bastard child of a local princess. The trilogy tells the tale of his life.

In the first book, Merlin is first a small boy in Wales, where he finds his tutor in magic and the gods and medicine, and is touched by the prophecy which will shape his whole life's work. He flees Wales, for his own protection, and his subsequent actions inexorably lead to the conception of a child: Arthur, the future High King.

In the second book, Merlin is charged by both the High King, Uthur, and his god to keep Arthur in his care, and to train him for his coming challenges. The story closes with Arthur assuming the mantle of leadership, following the passing of Uthur.

In the third book, Arthur and Merlin work to end the Saxon threat, found Camelot, and close with Merlin's final destiny, as he had long since foreseen...almost.

The tale is told in the first person: Merlin. In this fashion, the story feels personal in a way that few other Arthurian fantasies ever have. Merlin, the character, is a sympathetic one: he has good in his heart, he looks after his mission in life with care and humility, and he certainly doesn't buy into this "Merlin the Enchanter" crap circulating about England...though he's not above using it to his benefit from time to time. The other characters in the story are also fleshed out with care...and the characters are certainly not one-dimensional or static.

The storyline is clearly grounded in historical "facts", as much as possible. Clearly Mary Stewart put some time into research, before beginning the writing of this tale.

The writing style is very descriptive. In some novels, the description is somewhat threadbare, willing the reader to fill in the look of the setting to some extent with their own imagination. It's a perfectly valid writing style, and I've enjoyed many books written with that style. Here, however, Mary Stewart has sought to ground us, again, in a historical setting, and she puts a lot of attention into describing the setting so as to help with that grounding process. It's very effective.

So, with the close of the tale, I feel somewhat saddened. Merlin became like a friend. So, I encourage other readers to pick up the challenge, and read the Merlin Trilogy, so you can be touched in this way also.

Review
Not long ago, MagicDiligence reviewed Mary Buffett and David Clark's Warren Buffett and the Interpretation of Financial Statem...... and concluded that, while possibly useful for beginners, experienced stock investors would dismiss the book as simplistic and adding nothing new. The review also mentioned that a good alternative for more experienced investors looking to add to their knowledge is Pat Dorsey's The Five Rules for Successful Stock Investing.

Today we'll take a look at that book. The author, Pat Dorsey, is currently the Director of Equity Research for Morningstar. Morningstar has historically been known for their 5-star scale of mutual fund ratings, but several years ago began applying the same scale to individual stocks. Since Morningstar's focus is on durable competitive advantage, the firm's investing philosophy correlates very well with that of the Magic Formula and of MagicDiligence. That makes the book particularly relevant and much of my stock analysis is based on techniques outlined in it. The Five Rules... is more or less a two part book. The first half deals covers the title, laying out the five rules for successful investing and then proceeding to expand on each of them. Without spoiling too much of the book, Dorsey's five rules are:

1) Do your homework.

2) Find economic moats.

3) Have a margin of safety.

4) Hold for the long haul.

5) Know when to sell.

This first section then continues on to introduce the investor to the techniques of stock analysis. Topics covered include detailed explanations of each financial statement, the points of emphasis to look for in a good investment (such as growth potential and financial health), how to spot accounting blowups before they happen, how to value a stock, and so forth. For everyone interested in stock analysis, from 10 year pros to those just beginning to dip their toes in the market, these chapters contain invaluable and vital information. Nearly every investor will learn something new about evaluating companies and valuing stocks. One particularly valuable chapter is titled "The 10-Minute Test", which will help you quickly throw out stocks that are not worth your time, while highlighting investment opportunities that warrant additional research.

The second half of the book is equally useful. In this section, Dorsey calls upon Morningstar's sector analysts to lay out the intrinsic moat qualities and the factors that separate good and bad companies in a variety of sectors, including Health Care, Consumer Services, Media, Banks, and so on. It's no secret to MagicDiligence Members that some industries are inherently better investment hunting grounds than others, and this book explains why. For example, retail is generally a difficult place to invest - there are no customer switching costs, tons of competition, and constantly changing consumer trends. On the other hand, most medical device makers have very high switching costs, as surgeons are trained on one company's products and are loathe to learn the intricacies of a competing product, unless there is a very good reason to do so.

To close this review, a personal observation. Most investors routinely cite classic investing books like Ben Graham's The Intelligent Investor as the place to start for novice investors. I respectfully disagree. I've read many of those great classics, but no one book has explained the details of company and equity analysis as directly or relevantly as this book. This is one of the most overlooked investing books out there, and comes highly recommended to all investors. -The Motley Fool

Accessible, solid, grown-up
By The Honest Conn Man
I retired at 51 on my investments and have spent much of my time trying to counterbalance the instant-gratification claims of so many of those selling seminars and "help" to the investor.

While few people would be so foolish as to pay $40,000 for a Honda Civic despite that car's solid engineering, many will buy a stock with no concept of what its fair-market value may be. Of this number, some are subscribers to the Greater Fool School of investing. They'll happily overpay for a popular stock in the arrogant belief that they'll be able to unload it for a profit to some Greater Fool. Sometimes, they will indeed make a profit. (At other times, they'll make an excuse.) This book is not for them.

The rest overpay not because they subscribe to the Greater Fool school but because they simply have no idea of how to value a stock. THAT is where this book shines. It will make the investor more conscious of what a stock is worth -- thereby avoiding the payment of $40,000 for a Honda or (in some cases) the payment of $100,000 for a Yugo!

Will the identification of value stocks and the discipline of not overpaying for a stock guarantee a profit? On any given purchase, of course not. However, it is a fool's task to argue that conscious investing based upon some sense of a company's true value will not reward more of its practitioners than Greater Fool speculations will over time.

If you're a serious investor with at least the discipline and patience than you demand of your own children, following this book's counsel should help you to make more money with greater safety. It's more accessible than The Intelligent Investor and a must read both for the novice and for the experienced investor who would like to pick up some distinctions that will improve his or her performance.

For Value Investors. Fantastic Guide to Evaluating Companies & Stock Prices.
By mirasreviews
"The Five Rules for Successful Stock Investing" is a guide to value investing by Morningstar's Director of Stock Analysis Pat Dorsey and the folks at Morningstar, Inc. The book's goal is to educate investors in how to "find wonderful businesses and purchase them at reasonable prices." Its title is a little misleading in that the "Five Rules" are a small part of this book. The five principles to which the title refers are: 1. Do your homework, 2. Find companies with strong competitive advantages (or economic moats), 3. Have a margin of safety, 4. Hold for the long term, 5. Know when to sell. Those are vague principles, but most of this book is dedicated to telling you just what homework you need to do and exactly how to do it. Pat Dorsey and Morningstar are advocates of long-term investing who are skeptical of trading and portfolio churning, so this book's intended audience is value investors. No technical analysis here. This is all fundamental analysis, but traders may find the advice on analyzing company finances useful as well.

"The Five Rules for Successful Stock Investing" has 2 parts: Chapters 1-12 are a "how-to" for analyzing companies, their finances, and determining what their stock should be worth. Key points include how to evaluate a company's competitive advantages, what to look for in financial statements, analyzing a company's management, spotting financial chicanery, and how to determine a company's intrinsic value. This is all fairly complex, and there is math involved, but the book takes you through the process, with examples, explaining why and how every step of the way. Chapters 13-26 provide overviews of 13 industries, from banks to software to industrial materials, including information on what the industries do, how they make money, hallmarks of successful companies, and risks to look out for. Each of these chapters concludes with an "Investor's Checklist" for that sector to help you identify key factors when choosing a stock. "The Five Rules for Successful Stock Investing" is among the best books I've seen for learning how to pick apart financial statements, and it packs a great deal of advice on evaluating companies within their sectors into one concise and readable volume. Highly recommended to value investors.
