Grant's Dilemma

By: Jim Gibbs

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Jim Grant is a police reporter with a problem. Torn between his job as a reporter and his role as a concerned citizen, Grant has got some tough decisions to make as he goes undercover to help the police nab Carlos Medrano, one of the most notorious drug dealers in North Carolina. Soon, Grants investigation takes him down to the Florida Keys, where he discovers that Medrano has a diabolical plan that could have international consequences. Written with much of the same wit and style that became his trademark when he wrote a weekly newspaper column, Gibbs takes his readers on a semi-autobiographical, semi-Walter Mitty ride that the whole family can enjoy.

SQL: 1999

Understanding Relational Language Components

By: Jim Melton,Alan R. Simon

SQL: 1999 is the best way to make the leap from SQL-92 to SQL:1999, but it is much more than just a simple bridge between the two. The latest from celebrated SQL experts Jim Melton and Alan Simon, SQL:1999 is a comprehensive, eminently practical account of SQL's latest incarnation and a potent distillation of the details required to put it to work. Written to accommodate both novice and experienced SQL users, SQL:1999 focuses on the language's capabilities, from the basic to the advanced, and the ways that real applications take advantage of them. Throughout, the authors illustrate features and techniques with clear and often entertaining references to their own custom database. Gives authoritative coverage from an expert team that includes the editor of the SQL-92 and SQL:1999 standards. Provides a general introduction to SQL that helps you understand its constituent parts, history, and place in the realm of computer languages. Explains SQL:1999's more sophisticated features, including advanced value expressions, predicates, advanced SQL query expressions, and support for active databases. Explores key issues for programmers linking applications to SQL databases. Provides guidance on troubleshooting, internationalization, and changes anticipated in the next version of SQL. Contains appendices devoted to database design, a complete SQL:1999 example, the standardization process, and more.

Advanced SQL:1999

Understanding Object-Relational and Other Advanced Features

By: Jim Melton

This guide documents SQL: 1999Us advanced features in the same practical, "programmercentric" way that the first volume documented the language's basic features. This is no mere representation of the standard, but rather authoritative guidance on making an application conform to it, both formally and effectively.

The Best Australian Trucking Stories

The Best Australian Trucking Stories

By: Jim Haynes

A collection of true stories taken from the lives of trucking men and women from Tarcutta to Alice Springs and all over Australia. The trucker's job-so vital to our nation's everyday life-makes for a diverse treasure trove of stories. This first-ever collection of stories about Aussie truckers captures the humour, tragedy and fascinating history of their world, proving once again that truth is often stranger, funnier and more inspiring than fiction. The unlikely yarns and tales, collected by Jim Haynes, quickly transport the reader into the intriguing but often hard and lonely world of the long-distance truck driver. There are stories of endurance while crossing the Nullarbor in the early 1950s, of rescuing mates stranded in the desert and dumping wheat in protest at Parliament House, of repossessing vehicles in suburban Adelaide, and of men imprisoned during the long political battle to make the roads of Australia free to carry freight. Steeped in larrikinism, these are salt-of-the-earth Aussie voices from the most genuine characters to ever spin a yarn. Whether you're interested in one of the most significant social revolutions to have shaped our nation, or in these never-say-die modern pioneers who astound with their resourcefulness, or whether you're just after a laugh and a bloody good story, this book is for you.

The Complete Canvasworker's Guide: How to Outfit Your Boat Using Natural Or Synthetic Cloth

By: Jim Grant

Here is a new edition of a reader-tested book that has been universally praised for its concise, commonsense instructions and clear illustrations. The Complete Canvasworker's Guide has led countless boatowners through outfitting projects from boat covers to ditty bags to bimini tops to windcatchers. Now completely revised and updated, and expanded by more than fifty percent, The Complete Canvasworker's Guide, Second Edition, brings you Jim Grant's thorough step-by-step approach to constructing a nearly endless variety of attractive and functional gear for your boat. Grant, with his wife, Connie, has taught sailmaking and canvaswork for more than 20 years, and he brings an often intimidating craft within the grasp and budget of anyone from an all-thumbs beginner to a would-be professional. Forget that canvas always used to be made of cotton. Today it is far more commonly woven of synthetic fibers: acrylic, polyester, or nylon. Here is all the information you'll need to make use of them all. Grant's no-frills approach, refined over years of answering the questions of puzzled students, is for any boatowner who wants to take needle to fabric. And as tens of thousands of proud boatowners will happily testify, it really works. Here's what reviewers have said about The Complete Canvasworker's Guide: "Literally every question is answered in this book."--Yachting "Chock full of everything from basic information to a variety of ideas designed to improve, upgrade, and protect a boat."--Small Boat Journal An immensely practical book."--Practical Boat Owner "A concise and to-the-point workbook."--Soundings
