Excel is the most sophisticated spreadsheet program available in the world of
personal computing. As such, this program is much more than just an electronic
version of an accountant’s familiar green sheet for crunching numbers. For millions of
users the world over, Excel is also their number-one forms designer, their interface to
the corporate database, as well as their premier charting program.
Given Excel’s indisputable versatility, it should come as no surprise that mastering the
basics of the program, not to mention its finer points, is no small undertaking. My experience,
however, in teaching adults to use all manner of Excel’s capabilities has convinced
me that this mastery is greatly accelerated with just a modicum of hands-on experience
judiciously applied to rather simple but realistic data-related problems.
About This Book
As its name suggests, Excel 2007 Workbook For Dummies is designed to give you the kind
of hands-on experience with all the major aspects of the program you need to start using
the program for business or home with a certain degree of confidence and efficiency. As
you’d expect from this type of book, the workbook is primarily composed of questions
and exercises that give you plenty of opportunities to experience the purpose and benefits
of Excel’s many features.
It’s my hope that as a result of doing the exercises in this workbook, you’ll not only be in
firm command of the basic skills necessary to work with confidence in the Excel spreadsheet,
but also have a good idea of the overall power of the program through experience
with its features beyond the spreadsheet.
Conventions Used in This Book
By convention, all the text entries that you type yourself appear in bold. In addition, all
filenames appear in italic type even though they are not italicized when you see their
names in the Windows Explorer or the Excel Open dialog box.
When it comes to instructions in the exercises throughout the workbook, you’ll notice
two conventions:
Ribbon commands often follow the sequence of the tab, command button, and
drop-down menu option. For example, the command Home | Format | Column
Width means that you should select the Home tab, followed by the Format command
button, and then finally the Column Width option on the menu that appears.
Ribbon hot keys are often given following the Ribbon command sequence. For
example, Alt+HOW selects the Home tab, followed by the Format command button,
and then the Column Width, entirely from the keyboard.
One other convention that you’ll notice used throughout the text is the display of the
names for Excel Ribbon commands, Quick Access toolbar buttons, and dialog box
options in the title case, wherein all major words are capitalized except for prepositions.
The title case is used to make these names stand out from the rest of the text. Often,
however, especially in the case of dialog box options, Microsoft does not always follow
this convention, often preferring to capitalize only the first letter of the option name.

Product Description
Java Persistence with Hibernate is considerably more than simply a second edition to Hibernate in Action. It provides a comprehensive overview of all the capabilities of the Java Persistence API in addition to those of Hibernate 3, as well as a detailed comparative analysis of the two. It describes how Hibernate has been used to implement the Java Persistence standard, and how to leverage the Hibernate extensions to Java Persistence.
-- From the Forward by LINDA DEMICHIEL Specification Lead, Enterprise JavaBeans 3.0 and Java Persistence Sun Microsystems
Persistence, the ability of data to outlive an instance of a program, is central to modern applications. Hibernate, the most popular Java persistence tool, provides automatic and transparent object/relational mapping so it's a snap to work with SQL databases in Java applications. Hibernate conforms to the new EJB 3.0 and Java Persistence 1.0 standards.
Java Persistence with Hibernate explores Hibernate by developing an application that ties together hundreds of individual examples. You'll immediately dig into the rich programming model of Hibernate 3.2 and Java Persistence, working through queries, fetching strategies, caching, transactions, conversations, and more. You'll also appreciate the well-illustrated discussion of best practices in database design, object/relational mapping, and optimization techniques.
In this 2nd edition of Manning's bestselling Hibernate in Action, authors Christian Bauer and Gavin King -- the founder of the Hibernate project -- cover Hibernate 3.2 in detail along with the EJB 3.0 and Java Persistence 1.0 standards.
What's Inside:
--Authoritative source for any developer using Java with SQL databases.
--Covers the latest major Hibernate version in great detail
--Explores the new EJB 3.0 Java Persistence standard.
--Written by the Hibernate founder and project lead.
--Object/relational mapping concepts
--Real-world tasks and examples
--Application design and development processes with ORM
From the Publisher
Java Persistence with Hibernate is divided into three major parts.
In Part 1, the book introduces the object/relational paradigm mismatch and explains the fundamentals behind object/relational mapping. Then, readers are walked through a hands-on tutorial to get you started with your first Hibernate, Java Persistence, or EJB 3.0 project. You look at Java application design for domain models and at the options for creating object/relational mapping metadata.
Mapping Java classes and properties to SQL tables and columns is the focus of Part 2. You explore all basic and advanced mapping options in Hibernate and Java Persistence, with XML mapping files and Java annotations. It shows you how to deal with inheritance, collections, and complex class associations. Finally, the book discusses integration with legacy database schemas and some mapping strategies that are especially tricky.
Part 3 is all about the processing of objects and how you can load and store data with Hibernate and Java Persistence. The book introduces the programming interfaces, how to write transactional and conversation-aware applications, and how to write queries. It later focuses on the correct design and implementation of layered Java applications, and the most common design patterns that are used with Hibernate, such as the Data Access Object (DAO) and EJB Command patterns. You'll see how you can test your Hibernate application easily and what other best practices are relevant if you work an object/relational mapping software.
Finally, you are introduced to the JBoss Seam framework, which takes many Hibernate concepts to the next level and enables you to create conversational web applications with ease.

Buzz: The Science And The Lore Of Alcohol And Caffeine
Buzz: The Science And The Lore Of Alcohol And Caffeine

Now, in Buzz, Stephen Braun removes the cloak surrounding alcohol and caffeine. In an entertaining blend of modern science and ancient lore, Braun takes readers on a remarkable tour of two substances as familiar as a cup of coffee or a can of beer and yet as mysterious and unpredictable as the spirits these beverages were once thought to contain. Much of what Buzz reveals contradicts conventional wisdom. Braun shows, for instance, that alcohol is no simple depressant but is, instead, a "pharmacy in a bottle" mimicking the actions of drugs such as cocaine, Valium, opium, and ether. Drawing on the latest findings of neuroscience, Braun explains how molecules of alcohol interact with the brain to produce the wide-ranging effects for which it is well-known. In clear, non-technical language, Braun explores how alcohol affects sex, the immune system, sleep, and memory. Also probed are the many reasons that alcohol can be so addictive to a minority of users. Caffeine - the most widely-used drug on earth - is equally interesting. Here in Buzz is the first clear and detailed explanation of how caffeine actually revs up the brain and body. This ubiquitous molecule - found in tea, coffee, most soft drinks, chocolate, and hundreds of non-prescription drugs - achieves its many effects in a manner wholly different than is popularly believed. Among other topics, Braun explores the role of caffeine in creativity, sex, athletic performance, dieting, and PMS. He also delves into why caffeine can be so habit-forming and whether caffeine can really be considered "addictive". This illuminating and often amusing book is laced throughout with the voices of individuals as famous as Theodore Roosevelt (whocoined the phrase "Good to the last drop") and as ordinary as Kaldi, an Arabian goat herder credited with discovering coffee's power to stimulate. Shakespeare, Mikhail Gorbachev, Balzac, Buddhist monks, David Letterman, and John Steinbeck make cameo appearances.

This is revolutionary look at happiness, deep and tremendously engaging, from one of the world’s most compelling voices on the subject. As a young man in France, Matthieu Ricard found himself looking for a different approach to living. The son of a prominent French philosopher, Ricard grew up among the famous thinkers and artists of his parents’ generation. He chose the path of science, studying molecular biology under a Nobel winning scientist. Then, on his first trip to India in 1967, a seed was planted for a very new sort of future, a future in which seeking inner happiness took precedent over all other goals. This book is the fruit of that seed – a revolutionary look at happiness. Matthieu Ricard combines science with spirit, bringing modern psychological research together with Buddhist thought and bridging the dialogue between East and West. He makes a passionate case for happiness as a goal that deserves at least as much energy as any other in our lives. Wealth? Fitness? Career success? How can we possibly place these above true and lasting well-being? Drawing from works of fiction and poetry, contemporary western philosophy, Buddhist thought, current psychological and scientific research and personal experience, Ricard weaves an inspirational and forward looking account of how we can begin to rethink our realities in a fast moving modern world. Ricard’s insights could not be more timely or essential, as evidence grows of well-being’s profound and measurable effects on the body and mind. With revelatory lessons and exercises that blaze a clear path for readers, this is an eloquent and groundbreaking guide to a happier life.
