Title: Utter Disappointment Product review: This book is a complete disappointment from preface to index.If you're a math-geek who's intent is to design a network analyzer, this book may be for you. However, if your intent is to design-in an OpAmp and make it work, buy any other text out there.If you're used to the ol' -Rf/Ri (inverting) or 1+Rf/Ri (non-inverting) formulas for amplifier designs, you'll be as dumbfounded as I was when you see how the author spins the formulas around into expressions that are completely unusable for quick estimation. The author assumes we (as engineers) don't have access to network analyzers or software circuit simulators, and still keep slide-rules in our top-drawer.Additionally, the author's sections on PCB layout is esoteric and not much help beyond the obvious.Get yourself a decent OpAmp "cookbook", you'll learn far more from a "this is how they did it" approach than this author's methodology.

Title: the more things change... Product review: Looks like a manuscript that was rejected in his early days, and pulled out of the bottom drawer to cash in on his current popularity.It would have been interesting to see how a Bulgarian Aparatnik recruits a Turkish hit-man, but we never do. A little therapy might clear up that fear of flying. Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?

Title: A Great Interval Training Workout! Product review: I recently had read about how Interval Training was a very effective way to keep your heart healthy, but I didn't own any exercise equipment (you know, the kind you see at the gyms with the interval training option), so I stubbled across this video at the library. I REALLY like it. It truly is an interval training workout. She gets your heart rate up slowly, makes it work hard for a "power burst" of one minute and then slows you back down just to repeat it all over again several times. GREAT concept, and FANTASTIC workout. A true interval trainer's dream!HOWEVER, if you are not very coordinated or you aren't naturally inclined to learn workout "routines" then you may want to look elsewhere for a good workout. This video moves fast, so if can't learn steps quickly then you may just get frustrated that you bought it. Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?

Title: There aren't enough words to describe how great this cd is. Product review: There aren't enough words to describe how great this cd is. Anyone who has ever enjoyed Russell's music, or would like to find out what he's all about should listen to it.So many great songs for all tastes... "That's Amore" and "Core `ngrato" are among my favorites, but on this album there are 17 favorites.A great set of music by one of the great new singers of this generation.
