Mastering the Nikon D700 provides a wealth of information and professional insights for owners of this powerful new camera. Each chapter explores the features and capabilities of the D700 in detail; surpassing basic user manuals by providing step-by-step menu setting adjustments coupled with illustrations and logical explanations for each option. The authors writing style allows the reader to follow directions in a friendly and informative manner; as if a friend dropped in to share his experienced knowledge without "talking down" to you; explaining the how and the why.The learning experience for D700 beginners (and refresher information for professionals) goes beyond the camera itself. When camera features and options expand to additional Nikon equipment (such as with the use of optional Speedlights) the authors add the necessary information. Their frequent references to user manuals provided by Nikon (complete with specific page references) allow the reader to easily navigate past the confusion factor that often comes with new equipment.Mastering the Nikon D700 is another title in the Nikonians Press series-the exciting; new; joint venture between Nikonians and Rocky Nook.

This amazing resource is one reason there should no longer be ...By Ryan F.This amazing resource is one reason there should no longer be any more subpar music education. The amount of research and testing/piloting that went into this entire series is incredible. For a novice teacher; it serves as a guide to creating lessons and structuring units and curriculum throughout a K-5 school. For a more seasoned teacher; it may take what youve been doing and organize it into a clearer; succinct package - or maybe its completely different from what youve been doing. Either way; it works. Ive seen the magic of Kodaly in an upper-middle class suburban area and Ive seen it in highly urban areas. The curriculum is highly adaptable to your specific teaching situation; with lots of suggestions for repertoire and activities to create a sequential course of study. The research and sources are cited if you want to delve deeper yourself; but Houlahan and Tacka have done an amazing job organizing it into an easily digestible; interesting format. I strongly recommend this book to anyone who currently or plans to ever teach music.4 of 4 people found the following review helpful.

The new technological discussions and links to websites make this even more user friendly. Why our music education in so many schools is watered down and hit and miss is a shame! The amount of critical thinking skills being foregone is unbearable! It does add to the reason why music and the arts and (gym) can be relegated as inferior subjects....because some educators are not truly using the real deal!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Fabulous music bookBy Gina8586This is a great book for elementary music teachers. The authors challenge music teachers to rethink curriculum and lesson planning. If you are looking to raise student test scores in music; this is the book to read.
