Prentice Hall, 2007

Very useful for homeschoolers too...
My children attended a public school where this program was used. When I brought them home due to their various LDs/allergies, I balked at the $40 price tag of this book and opted for the less expensive Spectrum Spelling books for their grade level. I found those to be rather annoying because often my children already knew the words. And the ones they didn't know, they would spell correctly on ...

The Code Book: The Secret History of Codes and Code-breaking

Simon Singh

Fourth Estate Ltd, 1999

Cryptography 101
As always Simon Singn takes the reader on a fantastic trip through History. Filled with entertaining stories, puzzles and heroic events, the author skillfully covers the history of secret writing. If you liked his coverage of Fermat's Enigma then you will definitely enjoy this book. The prose is capturing, deep enough to fascinate technical readers and light enough to just entertain the casual ...

Beverly Kaye, Sharon Jordan-Evans

Berrett-Koehler Publishers, 2008

Everything you need to know about engaging your employees
Unlike the hundreds of management books out there that can be rather philosophical and academic on how to create a productive work environment (with many of the concepts capable of being covered in three, not three hundred, pages), this book focuses on 26 strategies with countless practical actions under each strategy that a manager can take to make the work environment (read: "people") highly ...

A Guide to Econometrics - 4th Edition

Peter Kennedy

The MIT Press, 1998

best together with Greene's <>
This is a great book. But buy it for the right reason. All by itself, not as useful as a lot of the reviews suggests. This has to be used together with Greene's < >. It suppliment a lot of the formulae with ideas and reasons. But it is light on formula by itself, and you can not use it as a reference. This is a explain book, tells you why we should do it this way, what to caution/watch for, ...

In Search of the Miraculous: Fragments of an Unknown Teaching

P. D. Ouspensky

Routledge & K. Paul, 1950

Great Introduction to the Esoteric Work
P.D. Ouspensky's "In Search of the Miraculous" is one of the most profound and one of most memorable books that I have ever read, and it is most certainly the must-read. Not only that, it also forces one to question one's reality, self-identity, actions, and surroundings. With each time that I read this book, I began to notice the number of little false "i's" that popped up in my being. Every ...

In the Service of Dragon = addiction
Just a warning here, these books are like potato chips, it's very difficult to eat only one!!! ...and then you'll find yourself walking around singing Eldrick's song of the tree brothers or longing to reread the part where Vilmos plays Edward in King's Mate or wanting to jump ahead to get to the next trio match. I bought this book around Christmastime and found the story to be fascinating. As ...

A must read
This is an excellent book. It is written in a warm and caring manner which is easy to understand. It is full of information not just for anyone dealing with a dementia patient, but for anybody who is caring for another person, (or who may think at some point they will). It covers subjects which apply to the caring of anyone who is ill and/or elderly, even if it is not dementia. I would ...

Atlantic Publishing Company (FL), 2007

solid handbook
this is a solid, almost academic, handbook. it's points you toward the things you need to figure out but you'll still need to get additional information on your local regulations. personnaly, it discouraged me from opening a buisness at this time.

Human Kinetics, 2008

an outstanding guide
The Sports Nutrition Guidebook is a useful resource for the average, healthy individual to have at hand as a nutritional resource.

Still the best
This was the text for my college Shakespeare classes over 20 years ago (different edition of course) I still have it and still use it. A wonderful book for students and those who want not only the complete works but some well written and authoritative information about Shakespeare and the world in which he lived and wrote. The texts of the plays are well foot-noted and the type is easy on the ...

Frontrunners' Internal Medicine 2004 Q&A Review: Self-Assessment and Board Review, Fourth Edition

33 reviews
Bradley D. Mittman

Frontrunners Publishing, 2004

"Excellent resource for old exam questions"
As the Educational Director for our residency and a practicing internist, I found this to be hands-down the best resource out there as far as a database of old exam questions in prepping the internal medicine boards. We also found that the book to which this is a companion (i.e. Frontrunners Syllabus), was extraordinary in laying out all the key material in a nicely-organized, concise, and ...

The Golden Milestone: The Italian Heritage of Innovation and Contribution to Civilization - 4th Edition

25 reviews
Russell R. Esposito

The New York Learning Library, 2007

Long Overdue!
Superbly researched, detailed, and precise. In 22 chapters the author proves his points. He sometimes got overly preachy, but with all the negative stereotyping of Italian-Americans by many in Hollywood and the media I can sympathize. It is one of the most organized books I've ever had the pleasure of reading. From the Roman Republic to the present, Italian contributions to Civilization are ...

Bradley D., M.D. Mittman

Frontrunners Publishing, 2004

Super Choice for Step 3
I initially heard of this book from the 2nd & 3rd year residents in our program. A lot of them used it for their Step 3 and were successful and loved it. I was skeptical at first because this exam was important to me for a number of reasons. In any case, my experience was much the same as theirs, and I did extremely well, as with my predecessors, but I wanted to provide greater detail that I know ...
