The first modern tale of alien invasion, H.G. Wells's The War of the Worlds remains one of the most influential science fiction novels ever published. The night after a shooting star is seen streaking through the sky from Mars, a cylinder is discovered on Horsell Common in London. At first, na ve locals approach the cylinder armed just with a white flag - only to be quickly killed by an all-destroying heat-ray, as terrifying tentacled invaders emerge. Soon the whole of human civilisation is under threat, as powerful Martians build gigantic killing machines, destroy all in their path with black gas and burning rays, and feast on the warm blood of trapped, still-living human prey. The forces of the Earth, however, may prove harder to beat than they at first appear. The War of the Worlds has been the subject of countless adaptations, including an Orson Welles radio drama which caused mass panic when it was broadcast, with listeners confusing it for a news broadcast heralding alien invasion; a musical version by Jeff Wayne; and, most recently, Steven Spielberg's 2005 film version, starring Tom Cruise. This Penguin Classics edition includes a full biographical essay on Wells, a further reading list and detailed notes. The introduction, by Brian Aldiss, considers the novel's view of religion and society. For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.Binding Type: Hardcover

TAKE IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL
Format: Paperback
Upon reviewing Jack Canfield's 'The Success Principles'; I found it a worthy read.
To delve into stereotypes, it will mostly be read by young men. This means that the fundamental
weakness of young men needs to be talked about - which is sex.
Napoleon Hill devoted a whole chapter to 'Sex Magnetism' in his magnum opus
'Think And Grow Rich.' You should definitely read that book. Staying away from
sex for two or three months will definitely build force, and give you a
competitive edge.
Mr. Canfield's book is remarkable in it's breadth. You need first of all to be responsible
for the results you are getting in your life,surround yourself with good people,
chunk down your goals, take action, and learn from the feedback you are
getting.
The weakness in this book is all those people who have good intentions, who want to learn;
but who sabotage themselves; or at least at a subconscious level think they are unworthy
of reaching their goals.
For them I would suggest karma yoga and either Sufi practice or Christian mysticism.
The karma yoga will take you to a higher plane than your problems, whereas the
Christian mystical training or Sufi training will heal your heart, and stop you from
failing again and again.
You have a handbook in your hands which will solve many of your problems.
If you take action, see how life responds, and work and adapt.
Five stars!

Really enjoy the book and understanding
Format: Paperback
I can't speak for other people and their experience on the book. But installing MySQL wasn't a problem for me following the book instructions and the instructions from the actual Oracle site. Afterwards I relished each of the sessions of segments to learn. Creating tables and then pulling up specifics from that table to access. Or just running the whole table. I took notes for each of the sections as well. I do recommend saving not deleting the tables you do in the sections. So that way one can go back to those table and play around with it. I also recommend tweaking the data to your liking and change it up to be creatively fun. Learning is fun if U can squeeze it in to make it.

Not Good at ALL !!
Format: Paperback
This book on SQL is disappointing!
It is awful even at the beginning.
First of all, you must install MySQL to practice SQL!
The author barely skims over this important step!
Without properly installing My SQL, you cannot do the rest of the stuff in this book.
I am sorry, I tried and failed in following this book.
