Bush-Gorbachev summit plays to mixed reviews in Soviet media (Foreign media analysis)151 reviews
Scott Righetti
Office of Research, U.S. Information Agency, 1991
Fantastic Introduction
I first bumped into Carl Sagan when I saw his TV documentary series called "Cosmos" many years ago. It has only been recently that I have got off my rear and read the book. It has to be said that I had waited far too long to do this.
"Cosmos" (the book) is a great overall introduction to the universe about us and the history of its discovery by people. Mixing hitsory and astronomy, Sagan ...

An analysis of the effects of gender and race on salary for the regular-scale faculty: Report39 reviews
Carol A Chetkovich
University of California at Berkeley, Office of the Faculty Assistant on the Status of Women, 1991
"I got vision and the rest of the world wears bifocals."
Frank Cassidy lives on the fringes of society in a succession of demeaning jobs, a wife with an ex-husband on death row in Georgia, an angst-riddled stepson waiting for his father to be executed and an innocent pre-schooler, obsessed with his toy dinosaurs. Frank's edge-of-desperation lifestyle can be traced back to his childhood, his father and mother killed in a fire that erupted on the family ...

Web Analytics: An Hour a Day55 reviews
Avinash Kaushik
Sybex, 2007
What analytics, (web or otherwise), should be
Before I begin I must apologize for the length of this review, I suffer from acute conciseness deficiency.
Avinash's greatest strength is his humility, and it comes through in this book and his blog in spades. All too often the broader analytic community (which I include myself in), is so caught up in its metrics, graphs, charts, esoteric calculations and acronyms that we forget that our ...

Expert Oracle, Signature Edition Programming Techniques and Solutions for Oracle 7.3 through 8.1.7 (Expert ...77 reviews
Thomas Kyte
Apress, 2005
Best $12 I ever spent!!!
I bought this book on cheap clearance after the original publisher went out of business -- the best $12 I ever invested. Remembering even 10% of this book makes you better than 90% of Oracle developers, modelers and architects. Mr. Kyte's real world experience and reliance on solid examples instead of folklore makes this light-years ahead of any other Oracle book; it's the only Oracle book I ...

Routing TCP/IP Volume I (CCIE Professional Development)59 reviews
Pearson Education (USA), 2007
The best way to understand the world of IGPs
If any book was ever considered as the MUST HAVE BIBLE for Interior Routing Protocols - then Jeff Doyle's first effort on IGPs is THE book (how many cliché's do you want in one sentence)!! The book goes through at a very even pace - dissecting and describing the majority of both open-standard IGPs (OSPF, RIP and a little on ISIS) and Cisco-proprietary IGPs (IGRP and it's beefier brother - ...

Top-Down Network Design28 reviews
Cisco Press, 2008
Measure Twice, Cut Once
Like the carpenter, the network designer does well to develop a plan before purchase. The title, Top-Down Network Design, is accurate because the author's key approach throughout the book is to consider what works best for the end user and meet the goals of a Request for Proposal. Priscilla Oppenheimer has presented a well structured textbook that covers every facet of networking in general ...

McGraw-Hill, 1994
Your handwriting reveals...
...everything! "Handwriting Analysis: Putting it to work for you" is a well-organized guidebook into the fascinating world of graphology. As a practicing handwriting analyst, I have used this book as a reference many times - with particular attention to such detailed handwriting traits as a "felon's claw". Handwriting reveals many characteristics to the trained eye - this book will educate and ...

The Neatest Little Guide to Stock Market Investing192 reviews
Jason Kelly
Plume, 2007
So much Great Info Packed into a little Book
I just finished reading this book for the second time and I can't say enough about it. It walks you through systematically from having no investing knowledge to a solid foundation built on a structured plan of action based on research, not emotion.
Jason takes advice from the masters of investing and ties it into a very workable strategy.
Get this book, you won't be dissappointed.

A Grammatical Analysis of the Greek New Testament: Unabridged20 reviews
Max Zerwick, Mary Grosvenor
Loyola University Press, 1996
Zerwick's Grammatical Analysis
This is simply a must for the student of intermediate Greek (i.e., one who has just completed his introductory grammar). Here's why I say this:
This is the ideal tool for learning NT Greek through induction. I love studying grammar deductively, that is, studying the principles and rules (a priori), but the average person will find that deductive study isn't quite enough. Even with examples, ...

CWAP - Certified Wireless Analysis Professional Official Study Guide (Exam PW0-205)20 reviews
Planet3 Wireless
McGraw-Hill Osborne Media, 2004
A great book with potential to be an all time great one
If this is your first foray into wireless protocol analysis then this book is very very helpful and easy to read but the flow of some of the topics needs to be corrected. For example in several of the first few chapters the authors throw around terms such as mmpdu, bsa, msdu, etc. before they are defined to the reader. The reader does not get the full definition of such words until chapter 5 and ...

Calculus: A New Horizon (Combined Edition: Text, Student Resource Manual and EGrade Learning Guide)20 reviews
Howard Anton
John Wiley & Sons Inc, 1998
Excellent Calculus Book for "Normal" People
To add a bit more information to the raw data of these reviews, I've mapped the universe of all possible readers of this book onto a set of x-y axes. Let the x-axis run from "non-Math-types" up through "Math-types." Let they y-axis go from "non-geniuses" up through "geniuses:"
- Quadrant I: genius Math-types will probably be both irritated and bored with this book. Their irritation will ...

Great Book. Great job Brian. A must have in your bookshelf if you are serious about computer forensics.
It only lacks two things to be perfect: a reiserfs and a HFS+ sections.
Only an error. GPT partition schema isn't used only in big servers. New Intel Macintoshes use it by default for their boot drive.

Tom M. Apostol
John Wiley and Sons (WIE), 1976
Great book but only if you want a deep treatment
This is one of the best math books I have ever used; Apostol does a great job of giving you intuition and telling you why the topics are important. The exposition is very clear.
However, this is not your usual Calculus I book. The level of approach is halfway between an intro to calc class where you learn HOW to calculate derivatives/integrals, and a real analysis class where you learn why ...

Use Right Before You Begin
This was very helpful right before I started school. I went through some of the chapters a few weeks before and then went back to it when I was actually preparing my first briefs for class. If you use this book, you should have a good start on anything the prof asks.

The best explanation of the Lorentz Transformation
I didn't really buy this book with any expectations. and I'm not really a UFO buff but I do have an open mind about such things. When I received this book, I read it cover to cover and didn't take my hands off of it. This book, hands down, has the best explanation of the mathematics behind Relitivity, using the Lorentz Transformation, of any book I have read. After reading this book and absorbing ...
