Well written
This book gives the reader a great step by step instruction to learning VB.NET. It gives you screen shots thoughout the book telling you visually what to do, which for me is one of the easiest ways to pick up on something new.

Gary Clyde Hufbauer, Jeffrey J. Schott, ...
Institute for International Economics,U.S., 1990
Worth reading for anyone who wants to understand the US Foreign Policies when it comes to economics
Military might is not the only way to fight a war, but there are downsides to alternative methods to armed conventional conflict as well. "Economic Sanctions Reconsidered" looks at the downside of using economic sanctions to persuade other nations to work with the United States. Filled with countless studies, freshly updated for the new edition, it looks at some sanctions failing to have the ...

21st Century Astronomy (with Student CD-ROM)3 reviews
Jeffrey S. Hester, David Burstein, ...
W. W. Norton & Company, 2002
Out of this world
Wonderful explanations. This is the astronomy book I never had as a kid! I'm a biologist and always thought I had the good fortune of working in the most interesting field. It sounds trite, but this book has opened my eyes to a universe out there. Now I even sort of understand black holes and the implications of relativity.

Microsoft Visual Basic .NET: Comprehensive Concepts and Techniques (Shelly Cashman)4 reviews
Gary B. Shelly, Thomas J. Cashman, ...
Course Technology, 2003
Basic, Pictures, Examples
This is a great book to get your feet wet with modern VB programming! He includes all of the code right there on the pages with details as to what everything does and what it means. His database is Microsoft Access; SQL Server Express or SQL CE would have been better, but they weren't out whenever this book went to print.

Genetic Self-Portrait2 reviews
Light Work, 1999
this is a truly amazing body of work
The images in this book reveal a truly original take on the self-portrait. The merging of science and visual art has been a popular theme this past decade (especially in photography) but it is so fully realized in Schneider's work that it leaves me speechless, and with a new awareness of beauty. If only more contemporary art could be this satisfying.

The BEST basic Meat Science teaching manual available today!

Gary Gygax's Castle Zagyg: The East Mark Gazetteer1 review
Gary Gygax & Jeffrey Talanian
Troll Lord Games, 2008
The East Mark Gazetteer shines!
Gary Gygax's Castle Zagyg, The East Mark Gazetteer shines as a perfect example of a classic setting of swords and sorcery. This folio pays homage to the early years of Gary Gygax's fantasy gaming career by resembling the long out of print Greyhawk Folio. While faithfulness to the original is evident, this folio is anything but a carbon copy of that older Dungeons & Dragons release.

Western Hemisphere Economic Integration 1 review
Gary Clyde Hufbauer, Jeffrey J. Schott
Institute for International Economics,U.S., 1994
Western Hemisphere Economic Integration
Hufbauer and Schott discuss in this book how a Free Trade Agreement that includes the whole Western Hemisphere would bring economic growth and efficiency to the Latin American countries. Despite the size of the book, it has plenty of information on the historical precedents for economic integration as well as the current initiatives. In my modest opinion, the most novel aspect of this book is ...

They composed the lyrics, and specified the musical genre and vocal style in which they wanted to hear them performed.

Excel 2007
This book is great for those of us who are new to Office 2007. I recommend getting this over a computer manual. This provides step-by-step instructions on how to use Excel 2007 (including Macros). It also provides lots of excercises in the back of each chapter to reinforce your learning. The instructions are very easy to follow. One draw-back is that it is a bit repetitive on the easy ...

The New World Religion: The Spiritual Roots of Global Government 10 reviews
Gary H. Kah
Hope International Publishing, 1999
Expose on the New Age-UN-New World Order Connection
Having been into New Age before becoming a Christian, I could identify with their utopian belief systems. It was eerie reading the quotes from New Age literature in Mr. Kah's book; what I once accepted as 'spiritual truth' now made me sick to my stomach. In addition, the experience of reading the book exposed the remnants of New Age thought still lurking in my psyche. I've been following the New ...

Introductory Management Science : Decision Modeling With Spreadsheets (with CD-ROM)2 reviews
F. J. Gould, C. P. Schmidt, ...
Prentice Hall, 1998
maybe luckily, mathematics here is easy
I use this book for my "Quantitative Methods for Decision Making" class and there is some involvement of mathematics. But it is just easy to understand and to use. Also the methods used here are really sort of fundamental and important. I recommend this book for those who really hate deep mathematical involvement in management science.
