Description

The Rings of SaturnThe Rings of Saturn, with its curious archive of photographs, records a walking tour of the eastern coast of England. A few of the things that cross the path and mind of its narrator (who both is and is not Sebald) are lonely eccentrics. Rembrandt's "Anatomy Lesson", the natural history of the herring, Borges, a matchstick model of the Temple of Jerusalem, Sir Thomas Browne's skull, recession hit seaside towns, Joseph Conrad, the once thriving silk

The Rings of Saturn, with its curious archive of photographs, records a walking tour of the eastern coast of England. A few of the things that cross the path and mind of its narrator (who both is and is not Sebald) are lonely eccentrics. Rembrandt's "Anatomy Lesson", the natural history of the herring, Borges, a matchstick model of the Temple of Jerusalem, Sir Thomas Browne's skull, recession-hit seaside towns, Joseph Conrad, the once-thriving silk industry of Norwich, Swinburne, the dowager Empress Tzu Hsi, and the massive bombings of WWII.

Mesmerized by the mutability of all things, the narrator catalogs the transmigration of whole worlds: "On every new thing, there lies already the shadow of annihilation."

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.

A small book but a true gem!
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
Max Lucado’s “God Will Use This for Good” is an excellent book that I highly recommend. It’s only 47 pages but the words carry a very strong message for those of us who feel helplessness in our lives. I purchased it because it’s a feeling I have. This book has reminded me time & time again, as I remember what I’ve read or I reread it. It’s an easy read. The book begins with a prayer which I included pictures of. There are 4 short chapters that follow, a response page & finally with uplifting scriptures. The focus of the book is on Joseph, the Son of Jacob. His story is told in the Bible. His Father adored him above his Brothers which in turn made his Brothers hate him. They hated him so much they threw him in a pit they were certain he would die in. Mr. Lucado writes this book with the focus on strength Joseph had to endure 20 years in this pit, as written in the Bible. At the age of 37 he became much more than a 17yo boy thrown in a bottomless pit. Why? He believed. This story is reflected onto us who face dark days. Mr. Lucado writes that God will get us THROUGH these times. THROUGH is a common word in many scriptures. It’s further written that “You’ll get through this. It won’t be painless. It won’t be quick. But God will use this mess for good. In the meantime don’t be foolish or naive. But don’t despair either. With God’s help you will get through this.” The big question is asked do you trust God? If you do Mr. Lucado makes it as easy as A-B-C. “Admit your wrongdoing. Believe that Jesus is who he says he is. Commit your life to his cause.” The response page allows you to reflect a prayer & to sign off. It’s a wonderful ending to a book that carries a powerful message. I feel that message is that God will get me THROUGH my difficult times & I truly believe this because I’m a child of Jesus, the Son of God. I have certain pages highlighted which I flip to easily. If I’m in true need I read the entire book. I can’t write enough on how much this has benefited me at the cost of under $5.00. I feel if you can relate to anything I’ve written, you will greatly benefit from this book.
