"A.D. by Richard Dolan and Bryce Zabel is an important attempt to prepare us for what will one day be inevitable: an open understanding that we are not alone. Not in this universe, and not even on Planet Earth."
--Edgar Mitchell, Sc.D, Apollo 14 Astronaut

"I've imagined this future many times, but these guys actually wrote the book on it! Zabel and Dolan have brilliantly created a compelling blend of history and informed speculation that makes their exciting world seem like tomorrow's news today. Don't dare miss it! 'Nuff said."
--Stan Lee, creator of Spiderman, X-Men, Avengers

"What if the UFO cover-up is real and what if it ended? After Disclosure poses this fascinating question and looks at the societal consequences of such a revelation. Richard Dolan and Bryce Zabel have produced a thoughtful and provocative analysis that goes well beyond the usual scope of books on UFOs and alien life."
--Nick Pope, former chief of UK Ministry of Defence UFO Desk

"You may not have ever considered what life will be like after the reality of UFOs becomes publicly known. But Richard M. Dolan and Bryce Zabel have. Their book is absorbing and thought provoking. Don't miss it."
--Jim Marrs,�New York Times�best-selling author of�Crossfire

"Considering the overwhelming evidence that Earth is being visited by alien spacecraft and that many intelligence agencies and military groups have known this to be true for some time, we certainly need to consider the serious question of what happens when Disclosure actually occurs. This book by Zabel and Dolan is the first in-depth attempt to answer that question. It is long overdue and sets a high standard of discussion about this very complex issue. Well worth reading."
--Stanton T. Friedman, MSc., nuclear physicist, author of�Top Secret/Majic, Science Was Wrong

"As a physician, researcher, and creative writer, I stand on the shoulders of others to see and climb the next mountain. A.D. After Disclosure is a brilliant, enjoyable primer that holds a feast of ideas that will make any audience think and wonder. This work offers a place to stand where others may take up the challenge and travel to places none of us could conceive. Richard and Bryce have performed a great service both to our culture and that of the 'Others.'"
--Dr. Jeffrey Galpin, infectious disease specialist, molecular biologist, AIDS researcher

"Disclosure, the formal acknowledgment by the world's governments of an extraterrestrial presence engaging the human race, is inevitable. So was this how-to book on what to do when a new world begins."
--Stephen Bassett, executive director, Paradigm Research Group

What if UFO secrecy ended tomorrow? The transition from B.C. (Before Confirmation) to A.D. (After Disclosure) is the ultimate "what if?" scenario in which the calendar is reset and history begins again.

This work of speculative non-fiction combines meticulous fact-finding from historian/researcher Richard M. Dolan and forward-leaning scenarios from journalist/screenwriter Bryce Zabel on the world's most mind-bending subject. The authors predict radical changes after official acknowledgment that at least some UFOs are intelligently controlled craft from somewhere other than Earth. A.D. After Disclosure isn't afraid to make mind-blowing, specific predictions, such as:

Congress will hold Watergate-style hearings and ask secret-keepers, "What did you know and when did you know it?"

The first decade A.D. (After Disclosure) will be like a high-tech 1960s, spawning massive cultural and societal change.

Abductees will file a class-action suit against the government for withholding critical information.

All the textbooks on planet Earth--from history to science--will need an immediate review.

Whether disclosure leads to social panic or ushers in a new era of unity and peace, it will undoubtedly be a game-changing event.

Nice crystal Ball Work Lads
By Ian Dubin
An interesting speculation on the question of what will happen to our civilization after 'Disclosure' happens - that is - after it is openly acknowledged by our civil authorities, our governments, our media and military leaders that there is an ongoing presence on this planet comprising extraterrestrial beings of unknown origin. To wit, what will happen after the President of the United States announces to the world (probably on a Friday evening just after the Markets have closed) that some UFOs are alien spacecraft and that the US Government has been hiding the truth for (to date) nearly 7 decades.

The book is well thought out, well researched and is in my view a noble attempt to predict the unpredictable - an event which will be the greatest 'Black Swan' in the (known) history of the world.

Richard Dolan, a historian who studied at Oxford and who was a finalist for a Rhodes scholarship, is well known to those interested in the UFO phenomenon. His two groundbreaking volumes 'UFOs and the National Security State' have exhaustively chronicled the undeniable reality of the UFO phenomenon and the 'Cosmic Watergate' cover-up that has remained in place since 1947. Bryce Zabel is a former investigative journalist and Hollywood writer and producer who, amongst other shows, wrote and produced the NBC miniseries 'Dark Skies' - a fictionalized (and highly entertaining) account of the events that transpired in the years following the Roswell crash.

If you are looking for the one book to read which chronicles and summarizes the overwhelming evidence demonstrating the reality of some UFOs as ASCs (alien spacecraft) - this is not it. That book might be either one of Mr. Dolan's earlier works noted above or perhaps Timothy Good's 'Above Top Secret' published in 1989 and therefore somewhat dated. Once Mr. Good has whetted your appetite however, you could freshen up the subject to date with Ms. Leslie Kean's 2011 book 'UFOs: Generals, Pilots, and Government Officials Go on the Record', or perhaps former Eisenhower Administration National Security Council member, Colonel Philip Corso's memoir 'The Day After Roswell'. Don't have the time or inclination to read any of these? Go to You Tube and look up `Out of the Blue' or `The Day Before Disclosure', two of the best recent serious documentaries on the subject.

Whichever route you take to personal awareness, once you have got your head around the irrefutable fact of an alien presence alongside us (or above us or underneath us or... somewhere) on our little blue planet, Dolan and Zabel's book is a pretty good read.

After a very brief review of the incontrovertible facts of the phenomenon and the cover up thereof, they go on to boldly attempt to analyse the secondary questions - who are they - what is on their agenda - are we safe? They look at the legal, political and cultural impacts that may eventuate AD (After Disclosure): the potential effects on science, art, economy, medicine, culture, anthropology, religion, our daily lives - it's a long and thorough list, even so far as to what Letterman and Leno might make of it.

Even if some of the predictions and conclusions eventually (and inevitably) turn out to be wrong there is enough meat to this bone to make for a satisfying intellectual nosh.

Personally, I would have preferred a little more specific advice about the economic impacts - where to be positioned in the markets when this news eventually breaks? I think I will probably want to be short Boeing and the rest of the aviation industry. Likewise big oil. I suspect my Sturm-Ruger and Smith and Wesson stock will do very well in the days immediately AD.

A touch disjointed towards the end perhaps in the exo-political discussions and I wish they had found a better proofreader for my First Edition - there are some annoying typos that break the thread. Nonetheless, this is well worth a read once you get your head around the big picture.

Way, way ahead of the curve!
By Pasheen
It is rare indeed, to come across a book so brilliantly researched and written. Passion and blood are every single page. It is a must read for those who are aware and those who wish to become aware that the UFO/Contact mystery is the biggest story "never" told. Well, Richard Dolan and Bryce Zabel tell it! It is the most exhilarating UFO mystery/history lesson to date!

Dolan has become the Dean of Ufology, risking it all to give us the most comprehensive look at this fascinating phenomenon to date. This book is meticulously researched and truly historic, and it's clear that Dolan and Zabel are relentlessly in pursuit of the truth about this compelling subject. They share fascinating and expanded perspectives, on subjects that few would or could tackle. And, the beauty is that they go much further than simply documenting sightings. They prepare us brilliantly for that inevitable day when contact will be revealed, and we all will be aware that we are not alone and have never "been" alone.

Bravo to Dolan and Zabel for their herculean efforts to share their wealth of knowledge! We owe them a huge debt of gratitude, not only for their courage to share such a depth of information, but also for stepping out with such boldness.

Don't stop there, Dolan's other books are monumental, as well. "UFOs and the National Security State, Volumes I & II" are comprehensive and tremendous exposes of the Chronology of the Cover-Ups. I think Dolan has been abducted...at least by a profound fascination for this compelling field. I've read a lot of books in this field of inquiry, and, in my opinion, there is no one who comes close to Dolan's complete devotion and immersion into this magnificent murky world...he is a treasure for our generation and for those to come. Way, way ahead of the curve!

Though provoking....
By Mimi J. Ragon
A fictional account of disclosing the presence of aliens among us. When you look at history it's hard to believe there's not some validity to the claim that we have been visited by aliens. This book is very thought provoking in the matter of what could happen to our world when/if the government and secret-keepers come clean about evidence they have gathered. It gets a little long but it's actually very good and keeps it real. I enjoyed it a lot.

Excerpt. � Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.
INTRODUCTION
The year was 1975, but it seems like yesterday that I first introduced the “photographic triangle” to a group of about forty students. It was on a Saturday, and I was running an all-day workshop on understanding exposure on the campus of Portland Community College as part of a program of continuing adult education.

I had never presented to a group this “large,” and little did I know then that groups
of forty students one day would swell toward one thousand attendees. My journey
has in many respects been truly humbling.�

When I first picked up a camera in the summer of 1970 (a suggestion made by my older brother Bill, who was a keen amateur photographer), my intention was to use the camera as a way to record landscapes and cityscapes. I was an “artist” and wanted to capture those scenes for later sketching with my inks and charcoals. Little did I know then that the reference photos I took with my brother’s camera would send me on a photographic journey that has lasted more than forty-five years. I have had far more adventures, chance encounters, and good fortune than should be legally allowed for a single lifetime. Of course, all of my adventures have not been without some setbacks, unbelievable obstacles, and momentous challenges, but somehow I’m still here churning out another edition of Understanding Exposure.�

During those first five years, 1970 to 1975, I made it a point to write down every exposure for the reference photographs I took. When I would review each image, I knew which aperture I used and which shutter speed I used and was soon able to determine why one aperture in conjunction with a particular lens would produce a massive depth of field or a very narrow depth of field. I also knew which shutter speeds were capable of creating motion-filled water, windblown flowers and leaves, and razor-sharp action-stopping subjects. I was soon figuring out that in every picture-taking situation, I was presented with no fewer than six possible exposure options and those six exposure situations could easily be changed to a different set of six options merely by changing from one film to the other; an ISO of 50 produces a different set of six possible correct exposure options than does an ISO of 200 or an ISO of 640, and so on.�

I soon found myself making a drawing of a triangle in one of my notepads, showing the three ingredients of every correct exposure: aperture, shutter speed, and the ISO. Of course at the heart of the triangle was the light meter, whose “job” is 100 percent dependent on the photographer’s ability tell it which aperture or shutter speed he or she is using and how many “eyeballs” (ISO) he or she wishes to use for a particular scene. I mention all this for one very important reason: I emphatically believe today, just as I did back then, that if you
will invest the time needed to understand the vision of the photographic triangle and the many “creatively correct” exposures it offers, your mind will be truly free to create almost any image it can conceive in camera!

I am all too familiar with the phrase “the third time’s a charm,” and I honestly thought that when I finished the third edition of Understanding Exposure, it would be the last edition I’d write for one simple reason: I felt I had exhausted the subject of understanding exposure. Obviously I was wrong!�

I am incredibly humbled by the response to the earlier editions, with combined sales of more than one million copies in seven different languages. With numbers like that one might ask, “Why mess with a winning formula?”�

To be clear, I am not messing with the winning formula, but since the third edition of Understanding Exposure was released in 2009, even more changes have taken place in the photo industry. The one change I readily welcome is the ease of using an electronic flash. One I don’t appreciate as much is the extremely high dynamic range that many cameras are quickly approaching. In a single shot, a few of today’s cameras’ sensors are capable of capturing upward of 9 stops of light to dark exposure, and at this rate a sensor soon will be recording the human eye’s ability to see a 16-stop range! This is a huge change from the days of film, when one might expect about a 5-stop range of light to dark. Why is this a problem? In some cases it will mean the end of the many beautiful sidelit landscapes of great contrast in which the strong highlights are in marked opposition to the deep and dense shadows. There will no more of this stark contrast because of the sensors’ ability to create images that cover a much wider exposure and tonal range.

On the flip side of all this new technology, I am hearing from more and more amateurs who have not only realized the limitations of their camera phones and are buying DSLRs but are also interested in “getting it right” in camera rather than relying on after-market software to clean up their exposure mistakes. In effect, it seems the trend today is akin to the days of film, when most, if not all, amateur photographers took pride in “owning” their creativity. They relied solely on their knowledge of the multitude of creative exposures that lie within the photographic triangle and a full understanding of the power of light, including the use of electronic flash. I have seen more evidence of “owning one’s creativity” in the last twelve months than I have seen in the previous five years, and needless to say, I am thrilled. I am not, nor have I ever been, nor will I ever be a fan of automated exposures. And yes, beyond the choice to shoot in any automated camera-setting mode, my disdain for automation includes the use of highly manipulative photo software, with HDR (high dynamic range) being just one example.

I am pleased to say what some call my formula (what I call the photographic triangle) for award-winning exposures has not changed one iota since I first introduced it to a group of forty students way back in 1975. Despite the digital age we are in and will be living in for what I am guessing will be years and years to come, the formula for award-winning exposures is no different today from what it was in 1975 and even as far back as the 1930s.�

A correct exposure was, is, and always will be a combination of your choosing the right-size hole in your lens (the aperture), and the right amount of time that light is allowed to remain on the digital sensor (shutter speed), and how both of these factors are influenced by your choice of ISO.�
Back in the day, the pinhole camera proved to be a terrific method of recording an exposure (it was much like a hole in a lightproof shoe box that held a piece of light-sensitive film), and as far as I am concerned, the digital camera of today is nothing more than a lightproof shoe box with a piece of light-sensitive “film” inside. Granted, these cameras don’t look like lightproof shoe boxes, but they perform in much the same way, albeit they record a single image a bit faster.�
Now that the digital age of photography has grown up since the first introduction of the Kodak/Nikon DCS with its whopping 1.3-megapixel charge-coupled device (CCD), it’s also fair to say that many shooters who are just starting out in photography are more confused than ever before, and for this I hold the camera manufacturers responsible.

Because of their attempts to make so much of the picture-taking process automated, the simple manual cameras of yesterday have been replaced by cameras reminiscent of the cockpit of a Boeing 747-400. I don’t know about you, but I find the cockpit of a 747-400 amazingly intimidating! The once simple shutter speed dial on the camera body and the once simple aperture dial normally found on the lens have taken a backseat to dials that are crammed with “features” such as Landscape mode, Flower mode, Portrait mode, Aperture Priority mode, Action Sequence mode, Sports mode, Group Portrait mode, Shutter Priority mode, and Program mode, and there is even a bee on the Flower mode! Combine all that supposed automation with auto white balance, auto ISO, and auto flash and you’ve got a recipe for frustration. Attesting to this frustration are the many shooters who have discovered that automation works only sometimes and only with some subjects. As my email in-box shows on a daily basis, there is nothing worse or more embarrassing to a beginning photographer who has taken a really nice image than being asked how he or she did it and not having a clue.�

Just last month, I received an email from a young man who had been selected to show his work in his office’s cafeteria. He wrote me to say that he had no clue about exposure and was sure that once his prints were on display, many of his coworkers would begin to press him for information about his photographs that he did not have, such as aperture and shutter speed and even lens choice. I do not want to suggest that this is vitally important information that one needs to know to take great photographs, but I believe it is vitally important information if one wishes to make great photographs consistently.�

Understanding exposure is not hard at all, as more than 900,000 photographers all around the world have already discovered. The only requirement is that you throw away your camera’s instruction manual after you reference it to learn one thing: how to set the controls to manual. Here is a clue: On every DSLR, you will find the symbol M, and when the dial is set to M, you are sitting in the copilot’s seat, about to go on a maiden voyage. Sure, setting your camera to M might seem scary at first, but you should have no worries since I, the captain, am sitting right next to you. And once you begin to experience the freedom of truly flying on your own, you will be asking yourself, “What ever possessed me to think I couldn’t do a manual exposure?” Honestly, it’s that easy; I promise!�

With manual exposure, the world of truly creative exposures will open up to you. You will discover the utter joy of owning your exposures from beginning to end, and taking part in their creation. The joy of that one image can last lifetimes as generations yet to come continue to enjoy the work you create!

Also, in this fourth edition of Understanding Exposure, all the photographs have been replaced.
Not only does this give it a freshened up appearance, but I also have added two additional and invaluable subjects that have much to do with award-winning exposures: an expanded section on the ease and joy of shooting with electronic flash and shooting star trails, and a section on the use of flashlights as another tool for extremely creative in-camera exposure options!
Flash photography was touched on only briefly in the third edition of Understanding Exposure, and many of you let me know that you wanted to see a more thorough discussion in this edition. As the saying goes, “Ask and you shall receive!”�

Yes, I know the use of portable electronic flash is deserving of its own book, and that is why I wrote just such a book about three years ago. However, since that time even more amateurs have begun working with flash, most with utter confusion about how, when, and where to use it; this is all the more reason to include a simple and easy-to-understand section on using an electronic flash off camera.�

I will add that the ease of using flash is, in my view, the only highlight the camera manufacturers have come up with that really deserves mentioning.

Simply put, automated TTL flash delivers on its promise of “foolproof flash exposure” far more often than not, and the information I am providing in this fourth edition of Understanding Exposure is more than enough to get you started down the road of creative flash exposure. If you want even more on the subject of flash, you can purchase my book Understanding Flash.
In closing, keep in mind that you are not alone in the confusion or frustration you will at times experience. If you ever need someone to talk to, I encourage you to get online with other like-minded shooters. One way to do that is to participate daily in a public forum in which just about anything photographic is discussed. A great place to do that is my site, www.youkeepshooting.com. Whether you have questions you would like to ask me, wish to contribute an answer, or simply want to upload photos for some honest feedback from your peers, it’s a great resource for understanding exposure.

If you are a photographer that feels comfortable using manual mode
By HawaiianEye
If you know how a camera works, this opens things up even more, explaining how Apeture, Shutter Speed, and ISO
are mathematically linked. I understood what shutter speeds are, how they worked, and how to use them.
But why are the basic speeds always in the order of; 1,2,4,8, 15, 30, 60, 125, 500, 1000? Why do some newer cameras include more numbers?
Why are F stops numbers graduated the way they are? 2, 2.8, 4, 5.6, 8, 11, 16, 22?
The same can be asked about ISO!
If you are a photographer that feels comfortable using manual mode, and you don't know the answers to these questions ( that was me! ),
The AHA! moments within this book, that are simply explained, will absolutely open your mind to more freedom in expression and confidence,
this simple knowledge brings to your brains table. (was that even a legal sentence?) Thanks Bryan for the quick course in logic!

Worthwhile purchase
By cs
Material is presented straightforwardly and is fairly easy to understand, even for someone who is equal parts stubborn against and fearful of learning to use Manual mode (e.g. me.:)

After reading the first few chapters, I have a better understanding of how my camera operates, and why using Auto modes does not always work. Within one day, I have learned how the 3 parts of the photographic triangle work together--and how to use them to my advantage.

As Mr. Peterson says in the book, it really is empowering to take a good 'M' photo!

The Very Best Book On the Subject - Perfect For Beginners
By Talvi
Understanding Exposure should almost be a requirement for every person buying a DSLR or a camera with an "M" (manual) mode. Since it was first published, Understanding Exposure has provided a friendly, easy, and accessible way for everyone to learn to use their cameras to create beautiful images. I've been in the photography business for almost two decades and this book has always been my first recommendation (more than any classes or any other book) when pressed for help with cameras. It really is that impressive of a resource and now has been completely revised and updated with all new pictures and new information.

At heart, the book is about what it says - exposure. Exposure is not hard - honestly, any photographer will tell you that it is all about the choices made by the person taking the image with regards to the right aperture, shutter, and ISO. Peterson calls the triangle and once those are understood, it's easy to make consistently beautiful images. Topics in the book build upon those three slowly yet thoroughly, showing graphically as well as with words how choices affect the final image.

Beyond the exposure triangle, little nuggets of great information are interspersed throughout. The images in the book are inspiring and the tone very friendly. It's for a very good reason that the book has been so successful over the last decade - Peterson makes it easy to put away the camera manual and get the most important basics down to start taking consistently good images.

For those interested in what has changed and if they want to update their old copy, all the images have been updated and new sections added: An expanded section on flash, star trails, flashlights for in-camera creativity.

Really, this is *the* book for learning photography. Highest recommendation, especially for a thorough and inspiring set of updates to an already excellent resource. Reviewed from an advance reader copy provided by the publisher.

"I got Julian's book and it is wonderful! It is a great system for doing a reading and extremely practical. I applaud Julian and highly recommend this!" - Richard Osterlind

The James Bond Cold Reading is a whole new take on the twelve lines of the 'Classic Reading' made so popular from the 50's to the present day. Julian 'Bev' Moore shows you how this much discussed but seldom used powerful cold reading technique can be applied effectively and memorised in no time at all using characters such as James Bond that you already know and love.

Forget about learning stock lines and never using them - using the proven techniques in The James Bond Cold Reading, you can learn to speak in you own words and amaze people by how much you know about them using one of the most misunderstood tools of mentalism - the character reading.

By bringing a modern slant to an old technique, Julian 'Bev' Moore proves once again that that the old ones are the best - if only we knew how to apply them. If you're not a fan of 'stock lines' and think that learning them is a waste of time, this ebook could seriously change your mind!

REVIEWS

"First palmistry, now general Forer-Barnum 101... this guy really amazes me." - Craig Browning

"Julian has taken the Classic Reading - which isn't out of date, as some would suggest - and applied a James Bond theme to its LEARNING (not to the reading itself), to make the reading's customization so much easier. It's ingenious, simple, and thought-inspiring, all at the same time! Buy this now, and start using it right away!" - R. Lee Davis

"I have tried many times to learn the stock lines of cold reading. I've tried memory techniques, linking, the peg system, and even with all that everything seemed a confusing, repetitive mess. Because of Julian's system, in two days, I have learned to give a cold reading forward, backward, inside out and in my own words.

Just as with Julian's palmistry book saved me about five years of study, this book is just as good and also very interesting. If you're interested in cold reading at all this will be the best money you'll ever spend. As a side note his system could be applied to anything else you might want to memorize and make your own. I have never heard of his techniques before and I have studied a lot of memory techniques.

It's so easy I will add this to my 'readings' repertoire." - Scott Martisse


"So I'm finally watching the new Casino Royale and lines from the James Bond Reading keep popping unbidden into my head. What makes this interesting is I hadn't really intended on learning the reading via James Bond but via a character I know more about.
I followed Julian's suggestions to practice readings aloud, even to inanimate objects. After a bit of this, I tried the real deal.

This isn't something you can do mechanically, at least if you want to get maximum effect and responses. It is a matter of a give and take that is "entrancing" in its impact. I can't wait to see what more experience will bring.

Thank you Julian, you really have made a significant contribution. Your ability to simplify and teach is exceptional. I generally rely on my knowledge as a psychologist to add a bit of reading but it wasn't anywhere as powerful as applying this system. Folks, don't just read JBR. Get out there and use it." - Dr Bill Cushman

About the Author
Julian Moore is a composer, songwriter, music producer, author and mentalist. Interested in all things strange from an early age, his writing took a back seat to his musical endeavors until fairly recently, when he embarked on a writing spree revolving around the practice of giving 'readings' - palmistry, graphology, cartomancy and the pseudo-sciences behind them such as 'cold reading'.

Julian is now embarking on a series of novels which should be available in the not too distant future. One involves an adventure with some dogs in a region of India. Another surrounds the haunting of a student pianist. There could be some others that deal with a little girl and her friends who discover some strange abilities. Who knows.

In the meantime you can read his current crop of factual books available here and from The Cold Reading Company, or check out his band Georgia Wonder at their website or on YouTube.

Pleasantly surprised
By Bobby Warren
In recent years, whenever there have been discussions about cold reading in certain circles, Julian "Bev" Moore's "The James Bond Cold Reading" was always in the mix. I had been intrigued by Moore's premise and was always curious about the book. Once I learned he made it available on the Kindle, I jumped on it, just out of sheer curiosity. I have explored cold reading, but it is not part of what I do. But, I had to see what was behind the curtain, so to speak.

I must say, when I first read how Moore reworked the 12 classic statements of cold reading and adapted to James Bond's character, I was not that impressed. I wondered how all of the positive feedback and hype around the book could be sustained for years (this was first published in 2007) without any negative feedback trickling in. To put it bluntly, the 12 James Bond statements did not do much for me. But stay with me, because the review does not end here.

As I read further about the Bond statements, Moore elaborated on them and expanded them to include a range of statements one might consider saying for each of the 12. The more I read about the "You Could Say This" statements, the more I liked them. Moore, who is always encouraging the reader to make the statements his or her own and use their own words, was in essence giving people permission to rewrite the 12 classic lines. This was a very freeing experience. But, the review does not end here.

Further into the book, what I realized was the 12 James Bond lines were not really a modern-day retelling of the 12 classic cold reading lines, rather, they served as the framework to give structure to a cold reading. It was then and there when the light bulb went off, and I realized what Moore was trying to accomplish. It made absolute sense, and it was a wonderful revelation.

I had intended to give the book a rating of about 4 stars, but after seeing where Moore is leading his readers, I had to give it 5 stars. As I mentioned earlier, I do not do cold readings, but I was always curious about them. This book is good, and I would recommend you buy it if this is the type of thing you are interested in.

Systematic, fun way to remember 12 cold reading lines
By Much Happier Now
Cold reading is a technique that is said to work on about 80% of people.
It relies primarily on the target's willingness and desire to believe, and as a result, on their 'filling in the spaces'. This occurs while they remain pleasantly fuzzy about who supplied exactly what information, when. So how do you first begin? Through your knowledge of the things that (most) people believe to be true about themselves - things they would not normally be aware they have in common with others. Knowledge of these kinds of personality characteristics, presented as a narrative of insights into the target, move the target into a frame of mind where they become increasingly willing to believe that you have special abilities to see into their inner selves.
What specific knowledge is required to start the belief process rolling? This book shares a list of 12 personality factoids (true for most of the people most of the time). Present these 'insights' properly, and you are on your way.
What makes this book unique is that it uses a fun and easy memory technique to assist the novice reader in recalling the admittedly long 12 factoid list. If you look closely, the book's author also plays with the reader a bit, occasionally 'reading' them, and accompanying these moments with encouragement / salesmanship. Its all in fun, and educational, to see the 'man with the mirror' in a sense 'looking back at his audience'(that is, to see the author subtly using his techniques on his audience).
Customizing your read, using subtle feedback cues, is more an art than a 12 step technique, and true to the book's style it is not covered in depth.
There are a couple of jarring typos, but they don't distract much from the overall experience. In keeping with the easy, laid back teaching style, the book is quite short and stays closely focused on its premise. The author does suggest that those who wish to know more might also read his other works.
Overall, the book is an easily read, informative and entertaining approach to learning the basics of cold reading, presented in a uniquely memorable and fun style.

Easiest way to learn classic cold reading
By Phil Campbell
James Bond Cold Reading teaches you classic cold reading in a clever and fun way. With this method you will easily remember what to say, and you will know how to make it flow into a sensible and natural-seeming narrative in your own words. The method is also useful and applicable to other purposes besides classic cold reading. Julian Moore writes in a very clear and engaging way. The book is easy and fun to read, and gives you more practical cold reading information than any of the longer, dryer books on the subject. As he says in the introduction, he is not trying to make you an "expert" on cold reading - rather, he will teach you to be an actual cold reader.

This book presents, for the first time, how in-memory data management is changing the way businesses are run. Today, enterprise data is split into separate databases for performance reasons. Multi-core CPUs, large main memories, cloud computing and powerful mobile devices are serving as the foundation for the transition of enterprises away from this restrictive model. This book provides the technical foundation for processing combined transactional and analytical operations in the same database. In the year since we published the first edition of this book, the performance gains enabled by the use of in-memory technology in enterprise applications has truly marked an inflection point in the market. The new content in this second edition focuses on the development of these in-memory enterprise applications, showing how they leverage the capabilities of in-memory technology. �The book is intended for university students, IT-professionals and IT-managers, but also for senior management who wish to create new business processes. � ��

Review

Prof. David Simchi-Levi (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, USA)

�

�The book "In-Memory Data Management - Technology and Applications" by Hasso Plattner and Alexander Zeier describes a revolutionary database technology and many implementation examples for business intelligence and operations. Of particular interest to me are the great opportunities opening up in supply chain management, where the need to balance the speed of planning algorithms with data granularity has been a long time obstacle to performance and usability.

�

�Prof. Karl Max Einh�upl (CEO, Charit� -- Universit�tsmedizin Berlin, Germany)

�Personalized health care requires the combination of distributed medical data. In-memory technology enables us to analyze millions of patient records within a second and allows us to devise therapies even closer to the patients individual needs than ever before.

�

Heiko Hubertz (CEO and Founder, Bigpoint GmbH, Hamburg, Germany)

It rarely happens that a emerging new technology can be seen as a “game changer” for a whole industry. But I think this is the case when it comes to in-memory database systems. Tasks which took hours or days can now be executed in seconds which is the technical foundation for establishing completely new business ideas. It dramatically speeds up the execution time of data analytics and thereby creates a much greater experience for the end user on our Bigpoint Gaming Platform. The book “In-Memory Data Management – Technology and Applications” from Hasso Plattner and Alexander Zeier describes not only the technical foundations but also the implications for new exciting applications.

�

Dr. Ralf Schneider (CIO, Allianz SE, Munich, Germany)

�

�Being IT savvy and leveraging advances in Information Technology is the most important competitive advantage in today's business world. I see in-memory technology as described in the book "In-Memory Data Management - Technology and Applications" from Plattner and Zeier as one of the most important innovations in the field of IT. The value for the economy as a whole far outweighs the effort of adapting the applications to this new standard. It dramatically speeds up the execution time of business processes, it allows for significantly more detailed and real-time data analytics and thereby creates a much greater experience for the end user. It brings business computing to a level where it is absolutely snappy and fun to work with.

No trendy IT stone left unturned!
By MCNAUGHTON NEIL
`In Memory Data Management: An inflection point for the enterprise' (IMDM) by SAP's Hasso Plattner and Alexander Zeier is a curious read. Its starting point is the dichotomy between transactional databases and reporting/analytical systems. Historically, these have been kept separate for performance reasons. You don't want your transactional system to be brought to its knees by a query from an analyst. Another problem that arises in database analytics is that the `pure' relational model of linked tables and indexes can provide poor performance with joins across many tables. But systems are speeding up. Do we really need all this complexity of non relational systems duplicated for transactions and analytics? The thesis of IMDM is that modern systems are so powerful that you can realize database nirvana by running the database in memory. This database runs so fast that complex queries can proceed with little or no impact on the transactions. All you need is a fast machine with boatloads of fast RAM. One data base, one data model. Well, that is the theory.

It is not quite as simple as that. IMDM spends a lot of time (and more detail than most readers would probably want) explaining how to adapt data structures and squeeze the database into memory and retool queries as stored procedures.

The book revolves around a system called SansSouciDB (SSDB), as used in SAP's `Hana' appliance (Oil ITJ December 2010). SSDB stores active data in `compressed columns' in memory. External (disk) is reserved for logging and recovery purposes and to query historical data. SSDB makes use of parallel processing, across blades and across cores. Test target architecture included high end blades each with 64 cores and 2 terabytes memory per blade. Uses cases are briefly presented--one for smart grid meter data, another for real time sensor net/RFID data streams.

Sometimes IMDM's scope is bewildering. What is that Microsoft Surface doing there? Why so much on specific Intel Nehalem architectures, on virtualization and even `big data' and cloud computing. The authors appear not to leave any trendy IT stone unturned, ensuring that the marketing message for `in memory' resonates in every ear. Could SSDB include an element of FUD*?

A better title for this book might have been adapting and optimizing databases to novel architectures. But this in a sense would be giving the game away. Modern architectures, as we saw in our review of Pete Pacheco's introduction to parallel programming (April 2011), far from offering straightforward performance hikes to either seismic imaging or relational databases, actually require a retooling of the system, application and likely the user code to realize the full potential of the hardware. At one level, IMDM can be seen as an interesting discussion on how to build and run a fast database and will be of interest to technologists. On the other hand, it does a good job of debunking the notion that `in memory,' at least with current architectures, is a straightforward route to performance. Sans souci (French for `no worries') it is not!

* Fear uncertainty and doubt.

Bringing God's message to life
By A Customer
The Bible is the most analyzed and written-about piece of literature every produced. And of course, that is because it is so much more to many people. What is often lacking, however, is practical guidance for applying its teachings in today's hectic world.
Leonard Felder manages to succeed where others rarely have. This book begins by acknowledging that most people, even religious followers, see the Ten Commandments as an archaic set of demands and implied threats forced down on a cowering people. Over the centuries, the interpretation of the Commandments has been so narrowed as to minimize their usefullness and application. Felder, prefering to refer to these as the "Ten Challenges," uses imagination and years of research to offer a practical and expanded interpretation that will help enrich one's life.
I highly recommend this book to anyone, believers and non-believers alike, who are looking for greater meaning in life. This is a great place to start!

Self help to succeed at obeying the Ten Commandments.
By Kin Hylton
I am not usually thrilled with self-help books, but I bought this one. I think it was a wise purchase. It provides psychological reasons for keeping the Ten Commandments as they are written in Exodus. It gives reasons designed to motivate compliance. The Ten Challenges also provided a slant on the meaning of the words that is not available outside of Classical Hebrew. As with most all self-help books, it is meant to be read and reread, over and over again.

By incorporating extensive student input and innovative teaching methodologies, this book aims to make the process of learning quantum field theory easier, and thus more rapid, profound, and efficient, for both students and instructors. Comprehensive explanations are favored over conciseness, every step in derivations is included, and 'big picture' overviews are provided throughout.

Typical student responses indicate how well the text achieves its aim.

"[This] book ... makes quantum field theory much easier to understand!"
"Thanks for ... making quantum field theory clearer!"
"Awesome. .. approach and presentation .. just awesome !!!
"Best presentation of QFT I have ever seen .... marvelous!!!.
" transforms learning QFT from being a hazardous endeavor to actually being an enjoyable thing to do."
"Great job .. extremely clear ... guided me through many ambiguities .. I wasn't able to work out with any other book."
"..truly special... extraordinary text. For me, ... a big relief .. finding [this] text."

The book focuses on the canonical quantization approach, but also provides an introductory chapter on path integrals. It covers fundamental principles of quantum field theory, then develops quantum electrodynamics in depth. The second edition incorporates suggestions from readers to make certain sections even clearer and easier to understand.

A pedagogically superb textbook
By David Scharf
This text is unique in that it provides a rigorous introduction to quantum field theory in a way that is extremely scrupulous to make the instruction as straightforward and painless as possible. It would be suitable for an upper-level undergraduate course or a first graduate course in QFT. The author does a nice job of explaining the logic of second quantization and the difference between quantum field theory and relativistic quantum mechanics. The presentation of the Schrodinger, Heisenberg and Interaction pictures and their interrelations is very well done. I found his introduction to Feynman diagrams to be outstanding--the transition from the detailed mathematical derivations to the diagrams themselves is the clearest I have seen in any QFT text available today. Also the discussion of renormalization is first-class. His treatment follows the traditional approach, leaving the development of path-integrals to more advanced texts, although his addendum on Path Integrals is a very nice introduction to the subject. All-in-all this is a very fine introduction to QFT and, as a physics professor myself, I recommend it highly both for formal courses and for self-study.

This book is perfect for getting started with QFT!
By Holger Teutsch
While (many or most?) other books have a daunting “mathematical compression factor“ this book presents the theory ground up with each and every step in computations.
You won't see “a short computation shows“, or “one sees immediately“ etc.

In order to not get lost in details the author helps with frequent “big pictures“, “wholeness charts“, margin notes and summaries so the reader is always aware of the story line.
Basic material that the reader should know (but often fails to recollect in the proper way) is presented in boxes when needed.
In total this book is so comprehensive and understandable that it is even perfectly suited for self-study (that's what I did after being out of physics for years).

This book is what you need for getting a sound foundation for studying advanced topics in QFT.

Finally a REAL Introduction
By John Drummond
I posted this review on the previous edition of the book:

After attempting to learn from several QFT textbooks, I came to realize that there were innumerable occasions when the authors seemed to gloss-over completely new/unfamiliar concepts because they apparently regarded them as "trivial" or "obvious." But what seemed trivial to them often left me scratching my head, trying to logically tie one equation to the next and arrive at their conclusion. Most books also tend to omit tedious, yet fundamental, calculations that would be a real pain for a new student to try to work out.

I started with the classics ("Peskin and Schroeder," "Bjorken and Drell"), but they seemed to almost require previous knowledge of QFT to make any sense of them, as if they were intended more as an encyclopedia than an introduction to a new subject. I tried Zee's book next, but realized that his unconventional approach (teaching the path integral formulation before the canonical formulation) made it very hard to simultaneously learn from other texts. He also tends to be sloppy with his math, and often left me more confused than anything. The closest I got to a good introduction was Srednicki's book, but it too was hard to follow at times.

By chance I stumbled across Klauber's website and read the first chapter of his book, expecting to be left confused as usual. To the contrary, what I had been struggling to understand for months suddenly snapped into place. I immediately read the rest of the free chapters, and when I finished those I ordered the book as soon as it appeared on amazon.

I've heard it said a dozen or so times that QFT has an extremely steep learning curve, even after coming out of a QM course, and that it often requires the simultaneous use of many different textbooks. It appears as if this is no longer the case, because Klauber has achieved what others apparently couldn't: a REAL introductory text that doesn't leave large and confusing gaps.
