Finally, a robots book for people who don’t know the first thing about robotics! Absolute Beginner’s Guide to Robots is well-written, inviting, and action-packed, with engaging ideas and fascinating factoids about robots and robot-related arts and sciences. You are led gently into the intimidating world of robotics, but nearly 400 pages later, you emerge with a respectable knowledge of robot history, the major fields and “schools” of robotics today, and the basic skills and resources needed to create hobby robots. B[/img]y the end of the book, you will be the proud owner of three bots, the first two of which demonstrate key robotic principles. The third is a programmable/expandable robot, which serves as a platform for future experimentation. And best of all, these robots are built with simple to get and inexpensive parts - many of which you already have around the house! (Read More »)

M’zoft Office Excel 2003 Formulas
What You Should Know
This is not a book for beginning Excel users. If you have absolutely no experience with Excel, this may not be the best book for you -unless you’re one of a rare breed who can learn a new software product almost instantaneously.
How This Book Is Organized
There are hundreds of ways to organize this material, but I settled on a scheme that divides the book into six main parts. In addition, I’ve included a few appendixes that provide supplemental information that you may find helpful.
Basic Information
This part is introductory in nature, and consists of Chapters 1 through 3. Chapter 1 sets the stage with a quick and dirty overview of Excel. This chapter is designed for readers who are new to Excel, but who have used other spreadsheet products. In Chapter 2, I cover the basics of formulas. This chapter is absolutely essential reading in order to get the most out of this book. Chapter 3 deals with names. If you thought names were just for cells and ranges, you’ll see that you’re missing out on quite a bit. (Read More »)
