AUTHOR

Claudia Martin has worked in book publishing for 17 years. She is the author of several books and websites for children and young people. Her favorite subjects are history, current affairs and technology.

SYNOPSIS

Rivers by Claudia Martin is a visual catalogue of rivers and riverbanks across the globe. It covers such diverse locations as: North, Central, and South America; the Caribbean; Europe; Africa; the Middle East; Asia; and Oceania.

There are 225 totally immersive images in Rivers. It is a beautiful collection of plates with a perfect accompaniment of a precise but informative narrative. The images are mesmerizing and stimulating.

Images such as the commingling of the Blue Nile and the White Nile I found distinctly captivating. The Colorado River in Arizona with its adobe canyon walls and the azure blue of the river bend is an exciting image. The raging waters of the Iguazu River in Brazil with as many as 300 waterfalls surging over the Parana Plateau is especially intriguing and beautiful. The Thames in Great Britain lined with its iconic and historic riverbanks complete with Tower Bridge and shadowed by the White Tower is particularly special to me.

CONCLUSION

Martin has been a prolific writer for almost twenty years, and Rivers could be her pinnacle work. It has pages upon pages of glorious high quality, full color plates that feed the eye and fill the mind. It is a book that you can return to again and again and still enjoy it as much as you did the first time that you opened it. 

There are a number of images that are conspicuous especially because of their excellence that will remain with me long after I close the book. I highly recommend Rivers. Order a copy, but be prepared to never stop looking at it.

Rating: 4 out of 5.

SYNOPSIS

My first impression of In 30 Minutes Word 2019 Intermediate Desktop Reference and Cheat Sheet for Windows and Mac Operating Systems is, it’s comprehensive, clear, and concise. The pamphlet supports features that intermediate users value the highest. The 4-page pamphlet includes such sections as: How to create citations, a bibliography, how to use internal links in documents, how to create an index and offers guidance on using collaboration within Word 2019.

In 30 minutes Word 2019 is a must have for all those wanting to streamline their productivity and increase their efficiency in Microsoft Word.

Its conciseness is its strength. The most critical elements for the intermediate user are covered and supported with an extensive keyboard shortcut list. A list that aids the user in finding, using, and learning the most important shortcuts for faster document production.

Word 2019 is just one of many In 30 Minutes Reference and Cheat Sheets available. Please see the section below for further details.

CONCLUSION

The pamphlet is clear, easy to understand. It covers all the intermediate essential information. It is short enough to cover all the most relevant information and long enough to encompass all the facts. It is clearly indebted: First Page: Reference and Cheat Sheet, Formatting | Mailings | References, Followed by Tables | Review | Collaboration. Last Page contains Keyboard Shortcuts.

Cheat Sheets and Reference pamphlets are useful tools in the arsenal of the writer and Word 2019 will give you the edge.

Rating: 4 out of 5.
