Dan Ariely

HarperAudio, 2008

Insightful quick read
In this book, Dan Ariely describes some of the ways people act and react to various real life economic situations. He provides great insight into context of why we do some of the things we do and supports his conclusions with examples of some of the research he has performed with other researchers. Incredibly well written and a quick read.

Physics: Why Matter Matters

Dan Green

Kingfisher, 2008

Great introduction to physics old and new...
My six year old plowed through this book in one afternoon... he knew he'd love it because the Periodic Table version is an old favorite. The information is clear, concise, and engaging, the pictures appealing to my little Pokemon fan. I love that we had a whole discussion of strong vs. weak force at dinner last night. Not really a textbook, but a fantastic introduction to physics for kids who ...

Web Standards Creativity: Innovations in Web Design with XHTML, CSS, and DOM Scripting

Andy Budd, Andy Clarke, ...

friends of ED, 2007

Fantastic
Let's start with a warning - this is not a book for beginners. To appreciate it (apart from the "coffee table" usage someone else mentioned), you have to know a lot about CSS, HTML and have decent knowledge of JavaScript and DOM. But once you're there and have a few web design projects behind you, you'll really appreciate all the nuggets in this book. The ideas presented in it, as well as the ...

SitePoint, 2007

Great JavaScript Book
I just received my latest book in the SitePoint collection, The Art & Science of JavaScript. As always SitePoint has gathered some of the greatest minds in modern JavaScript to collaborate on an amazingly easy to follow book. The Art & Science covers some great topics including Google Maps and Flickr mashups, building your own fully accessible 3D maze, draggable and sortable table columns, ...

Graphic Classics Volume 3: H. G. Wells - 2nd Edition (Graphic Classics (Graphic Novels))

3 reviews
H. G. Wells, Antonella Caputo, ...

Eureka Productions, 2005

The Invisible Man and The War of the Worlds
H.G. Wells wrote some amazing stories. There are so many classic tales it is easy to forget that they all come from the same talented man. Of course, he is one of the founders of Science Fiction, single-handily creating many of the sub-genres that can be found within its boarders. The alien invasion, the insane scientist who falls victim to his own experiment, the vision of a dark apocalyptic ...

Optimal State Estimation: Kalman, H Infinity, and Nonlinear Approaches

5 reviews
Dan Simon

Wiley-Interscience, 2006

Best book for self-study (Optimal Estimation AND Kalman Filtering)
I agree with a previous reviewer in that out of all the books I have come across on Optimal Estimation, this is by far the most suitable for self-study. I have found his explanations to be concise and straight-forward. That is, he goes straight to the point and delivers the concepts using simple/common language which is non-characteristic for academic books in the areas of Systems and Control. ...

Professional Active Server Pages 3.0 (Programmer to Programmer)

Alex Homer, David Sussman, ...

Peer Information, 1999

The BEST book for classical ASP
Obsolete??? Hardly. As I write this review, new Web page technologies are being matured: jsp, php, chm (yech). New models are being matured: Servlets, STRUTS, .NET. Classical ASP 3.0 is still quick, fast and necessary for small to medium businesses, even enterprise-level webpages. There's no better book to learn all the standards, applications, basics, and advanced capabilities of ASP than THIS ...

Digital Photography All-in-One Desk Reference for Dummies

David D. Busch, Dan Simon, ...

Wiley Publishing, Inc., 2003

Great book for beginner through expert
I'm a beginning digital photographer and not particularly techno- proficient, yet I've been able to understand the information in the early chapters of the book. As I get more proficient and curious, I will be able to delve into the later chapters and learn about photoediting, etc. This book really represents 7 different digital camera for Dummies books. I got this book for the great price ...

Lost in Yonkers

Dan Castellaneta

L.A. Theatre Works, 2002

"I stopped feeling because I couldn't stand the thought of losing again."
Set in Yonkers, New York, in 1942, this Pulitzer Prize- and Tony Award-winning play captures the tumult of the period by focusing on the lives of three generations of one family, all of whom are dealing with personal issues in addition to the traumas of World War II. Arty, age 13, and Jay, age 15, whose mother has just died of cancer, must move in with their stern immigrant grandmother and sweet, ...

Transformers: City of Fear (Transformers (Graphic Novels))

1 review
Richard Cooper, Dan Reed

Titan Books, 2004

Probably the weakest of the Furman UK stories
I consider myself a huge fan of the Simon Furman, and his run on the Marvel UK Transformers book is legendary. However, the stories collected in "City of Fear" are more filler material and do not really have a coherent theme. Even worse, this book features a lot of artwork by Dan Reed, who I consider to be the worst artist to have worked with Furman and an awful artist in his own right. The ...

ASP 3.0 Programmer's Reference

18 reviews
Richard Anderson, Dan Denault, ...

Wrox Press, 1999

Much More Than Just an ASP Reference
Wrox is selling itself short on this one. Not only is it a great reference for ASP (lots of good examples and explanations), there are also several equally good chapters on ADO, CDO, XML, XLST, ADSI, MSMQ and Transactions. I've used it as a reference for these other topics as much or more than I've used it as an ASP reference.

The Terror: A Novel

216 reviews
Dan Simmons

Hachette Audio, 2007

Beyond Wonderful!
Dan Simmons is now one of my favorite writers. Tommorow I'm going out to buy more of his books. The Terror is hard to categorize. It reads like historical fiction and horror so well blended it's hard to clearly discern either. Get this book! You won't regret it.

Transformers: Best of the UK - Space Pirates (Transformers (Idw))
Simon Furman, Dan Reed

IDW Publishing, 2008

When a space-time rift materializes near the Quintesson homeworld, its merciless warriors set off to establish a new home planet - and their target is Cybertron! Cunningly manipulating the Autobots and Decepticons into battle and intending to pick off the survivors, the Quintessons in fact unite the old enemies... and then it's classic, all-out action all the way, especially when Rodimus Prime, Metroplex, and Ultra Magnus join the fray!

Avengers: Galactic Storm, Vol. 2

Marvel Comics, 2006

So-So Avengers Adventure
Having read some of the original issues when this series first came out in the early 90s, I decided to pick up the assembled stories in the 2 Galactic Storm volumes... and now I wish I hadn't. Frankly, they're exactly what you'd expect from a 90s Marvel crossover- there's a loud of loud noise, mindless action and disjointed plot threads. I'm as big a fan of action and loud noise as the next comic ...
