(Good picture book)  
(ClearView review)    
(Beautiful!)    
(Amazing)     This book provides great quality prints, detailed reviews of events, in-depth technical information and a reason to kick back and remember the days when F1 was ruled by driving gods and cars so advanced they gave NASA genital envy. Worth a read if you're really in to the technical side of F1 or just this era of the sport. This book is a great reference book. Many detailed photos of the car up close and in action. If you are looking to do a detailed model or just like looking at the technology of the car this is a good book. Also good background of the people involved in the development of this groundbreaking, dominate F1 car. However the weakness of the book is that it does neither the car nor the model the author build justice. I would have found the book much more interesting if there had been more detail in the design and development of the car over its champion chip years or if the author had gone into much more detail in the building of his fantastic model.
This book is unique, full of fascinating pictures of one of the most dominant F1 cars of all time. For engineers who have an idea about F1 cars this is a feast of information which you normally just don't find anywhere. The model made by one of the authors is breathtaking and its hard to differentiate between it and the real thing. This book is good value for money and perfect for F1 fans. I love the images in this book, beautiful technical photos. Great close ups, and tons of them. Definately for the F1 tech junkie. Wonderful, can't wait for more from Andy Mathews! I will keep it short - there is already a review with the appropriate details of this great book. This era in F1 is one of my favorite and this book is a great ...... no FANTASTIC detailed look at one of the greatest ever F1 cars. Enjoy! With top Formula 1 teams routinely eclipsing the half-billion dollar mark in an effort to maintain their elite status, it's easy to understand why they go to such extraordinary measures to protect the confidentiality of their not-so-small investments. For this reason, any details clear of a paint scheme in today's Formula 1 world have become completely covert to outside eyes. In 1992, Williams Grand Prix Engineering introduced their FW14B chassis to the world. Mated to Renault’s all-conquering V10 engine, it dominated Formula 1 like practically no car before. With ten victories – nine for Nigel Mansell, the Williams FW14B solidified its place in history as being the most successful chassis during an era dominated by electronic enhancements such as active suspension, traction control and on its successor, the FW15C, ABS braking. Williams Grand Prix opened up their doors exclusively to Andy Mathews and Sean Kelly, to allow them to document the evolution of the car from its initial appearance as FW14 in 1991, right up to its final race - and consecutive World Championship - in 1993 in FW15C trim. They were able to photograph and measure all facets of the car in unprecedented detail. Additionally, they were granted exclusive access to the very engineers who designed and built these cars, to establish the behind the scenes story of how the FW14B became the most feared chassis of the 1990s. This book is truly a rare insight of how a world-beater was born. Peter Windsor, graciously and elegantly forewords the book and charts his own feelings and experiences with the Williams team during his tenure as team manager during the 1992 season. ClearView-F1 – Williams FW14B is the first in a new book series exclusively dedicated to documenting historically significant F1 cars in great photographic and biographic detail. Featuring over 200 full color images from LAT, Rainer Schlegelmilch, Steve Mohlenkamp and Michael Furman, ClearView-F1 is certain to become the definitive series celebrating the Formula 1 car itself.

This story follows the Renault F1 team through its heyday from 1977 to 1997. It begins at the turbulent days of "The Yellow Teapot" vehicles, through the team's rise to dominance of the racing world in the 1990s. The story reaches a climax with Villeneuve and Williams-Renault's 1997 triumphs. Many great drivers have graced the team's distinctive yellow-liveried cars, and the team's engines powered the majority of winners during the end of the period covered by the book, including Nigel Mansell, Alain Prost, Michael Schumacher, Damon Hill, and Jacques Villeneuve.

customer 's review (322 Tips for the Intermediate User)    
(many concise tips on usage)   
(Good Excel Reference)   
(Filled with Time-Saving Tips That Are Easy to Locate)   
(The best Excel book in the market!)     This book might have an alternative title of 322 Nifty Hints and Tips of things you can do with Excel. As such, it is not a beginners book for Excel. It doesn't tell you things like this is a spread sheet. Instead it tells you things like how to reverse the order of characters in a cell. For instance if you have a cell that contains ABCDE and it you want it to be EDCBA, you go to tip 139 on page 323 and it gives you a canned VBA module that will do it. Tip 139 just takes two pages, about average for a tip.
I find that I don't use this little book (it's little in format, not in page count) very often. But when I do, it gives me exactly the information that I want quickly and easily.
Two areas deserve particular mention:
Note the sub-title of the book where it talks about all the different versions of Excel. Some tips have to be spread out. Tip 144 talks about how to get continuously refreshed data from a web site in Excel 97. Tip 145 is the same subject but for Excel 2000. Tip 146 is the same thing for Excel 2002 and 2003.
And second Tips 296 through 322 cover nifty and wonderful things you can do with Pivot Tables. Many books don't even mention pivot tables, and they are a very powerful way to show data in different ways that are often more meaningful to executives.
Great help for those who are using Excel beyond the basics. Microsoft Excel is now the de facto spreadsheet for most users on PCs. A very mature product. With many, and perhaps too many, features. So much so that there are definitive tomes on Excel; elucidating every option. Rubin offers an alternative in this pocketbook format. A deliberately compact handheld form factor that offers over 300 tips on usage.
He's not a computer person, per se. But as an end user who happens to be an accountant. Very apropos, given that spreadsheets are that profession's stomping ground. In this regard, he is better qualified than some Microsoft developer, to offer you what might be practical and useful.
Be deliberate design, he gives tips that can fit within one (small) page. No tips are elaborate. But they are concise and possibly what you might actually need. I've bent Excel over backwards doing things that it's not meant to do. I believe I'm an average user, maybe a notch above. This means knowing some of the lesser known tricks, but not a pro at pivots or creating elaborate financial spreadsheets. I have used pivots, but nothing heavy-duty.
This book is 820 pages, but half of it has room for notes on the left page that has Notes, My Tips/Shortcuts, and Related Tips for finding similar tips like the one on the current page. You can see what these look like in Amazon's "Search inside" feature. The book has 322 tips and even with as many pages as it has, it's surprisingly lightweight. I have books that are half its size and weigh more.
I also like the bookmarks on the side of the pages. Finding the part of interest is easy. The first page of a part lists the subjects covered and their bookmarks. These subject bookmarks appear with their related tips for quick referencing. You can use the index to find what you need.
Excel 97, 2000, 2002, and 2003 are covered. Each tip lets you know which versions of Excel can use it. In a majority of the tips, all versions are covered so no one with a specific version of Excel gets fewer tips than others.
Part I addresses the new features in Excel 2002 and 2003. It's very brief, so those who have it already won't feel like they're paying for useless information. The price is appropriate for a book of this size with the tips provided and the Excel versions covered. I won't rehash what each part covers as Amazon's "Search inside" also lists them and the complete index.
The writing is formal and stiff, but easy to follow. I had no trouble understanding the directions... most of the time. The screen shots fill in the gap when the tips aren't clear. Newcomers and seasoned users of Excel will benefit from the book. Those who are pros will need to study the table of contents using "Search inside" and decide whether or not the book meets their needs. The quick referencing guide, the format, and the screen shots provide the extra boost. As an infrequent Excel user, I seem to find new problems every time I take the program out for a spin. I note all of the ways that the program wastes my time and look in vain for helpful information inside the program itself.
When F1 arrived, I quickly trotted out my list of things that I would like to be able to do faster, easier and with less stress using Excel. I was pleasantly surprised to see many helpful solutions related to selecting, copying and pasting, formatting and printing. It took me less than an hour to find dozens of methods that I will be using the next time I trot out Excel. That was a good payoff compared to the price of the book and the time I spent. I estimate I will save three hours in my next project where I spend at least eight hours with Excel.
Although I didn't need this feature, I was very impressed that Mr. Rubin had taken the time to differentiate between Excel 97, Excel 2000, Excel 2002 and Excel 2003. If you have an older version, this book will not only help you accomplish more with the version you have . . . it will also help you decide if it's worth it to upgrade to the latest version.
I found the book easy to follow and was pleased to see that there's lots of room in the pages for notes. Those hand-written notes can be big time savers if you don't use Excel every day.
The book also has lots of information for much more advanced applications of Excel than I am ever likely to use. So if you find yourself about to use Excel in new ways, this book could be a big time-saver for you.
My only complaint about the book was that so much of the material didn't really help me. If the ratio of helpful to irrelevant tips had been higher, I would have happily assigned five stars to this otherwise helpful book. I've read a lot of books on Excel, and I found this book the most helpful. The book is a collection of brilliant tips, techniques and immediate solutions. At the beginning I thought this book is for beginners but as an experienced Excel user I find myself amazed how much I have learned, Just Great!!! Highly Recommended
Providing Excel users with a tutorial and help tool, this book offers simple answers and solutions for any problem or question. Contained in this tool is a complete collection of tips, tricks, and shortcuts, including some that have never been seen before. These include limiting the movement in an unprotected cell and reducing the workbook size for quick sending via email. How the suggestions can be implemented in only a few easy steps is explained in detail. All of the most recent versions of the software including Excel 97, Excel 2000, Excel 2002, and Excel 2003 are covered. Users will also find a list of related tips as well as blank lines where they can add their own notes, turning the book into a personalized manual for maximizing their Excel abilities.

Usually ships in 24 hours Successor to the Mirage III and the forerunner of the Mirage 2000, the Mirage F1 has sometimes been described as a transitional aircraft. However, this streamlined Mach 2 interceptor, the silhouette of which being neatly different from the former Mirage, due to its non-delta wings, has been in service for nearly 30 years in ten fighters squadrons of the French Air Force.It first entered service in 1974 and was used not only to protect France's territory, but saw action overseas, mainly in Africa. This volume is devoted to the study and development of this aircraft, and its career in the various French units as a single seater (F1C) or a two-seater (F1B).
