Easy Spanish Phrase Book: Over 770 Basic Phrases for Everyday Use (Dover Easy Phrase) (Spanish and English ... 130 reviews
Dover Publications, 1994
handy!
I know a little Spanish but not as much as I'd like. Got this book for a recent trip to Mexico and found it very helpful. Easy to find what you're looking for and just about every phrase you'd commonly use. I've used it since to better communicate with some contractors I am currently working with.

Don't Make Me Think: A Common Sense Approach to Web Usability, 2nd Edition497 reviews
Steve Krug
New Riders Press, 2005
Your "Don't make me think" was inspiring--I wrote a couple of new blog entries as a result
Steve's book not only had some awesome usability concepts and practical advice and techniques, but I really liked the writing style as well and the examples given. It inspired me not only in our latest website design, but also in writing a few blog entries to my audience about "reudcing the clutter in their to-do lists" (similar to what Steve suggests in web pages) and I also worte an "e-mail to ...

J.K. Lasser's Your Income Tax 2010: For Preparing Your 2009 Tax Return 3 reviews
J. K. Lasser
Wiley, 2009
J.K. Lasser's "Your Income Tax 2010"
Consistently, over the years, the best of the income tax guides for individual taxpayers. Well documented with clear, complete and well-organized explanations of both simple and complex taxable transactions, along with summaries of court decisions on many of the more confusing aspects of tax law. I've been buying J.K. Lasser's annual editions for over 20 years, and have never been sorry.

Yalom rocks!!
I love reading Yalom. He makes group therapy concepts flow like a river. I would give this as a gift to every student of psychology, psychiatry, nursing, social work, that I know. Not having won the lottery, I am thrilled to have it in my own library.

Atlas of Human Anatomy: With Netteranatomy.com (Netter Basic Science)147 reviews
Frank H. Netter MD
Saunders, 2006
Soft vs hard cover
As a medical student, this book has been an excellent anatomy atlas. I've had the book (soft cover) for barely seven weeks when the spine began to split. I treat my books well, so I was disappointed that such an important book had poor binding. Then I found out that several of my classmates were having the same problem, some of which included pages falling out because of the cracked spine. So, ...

"Why Are All The Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria?": A Psychologist Explains the Development of ...92 reviews
Beverly Daniel Tatum
Basic Books, 2003
Personally challenging, but ultimately engaging and eye-opening
I started reading this book with a lot of preconceived notions about what racism is, what it isn't, and how my life and beliefs fit into the overall framework of racism. I was surprised, shocked even, to read that racism is a much broader picture than I imagined, and that even my (self considered) progressive thoughts didn't go all that far. Racism is far more insidious and pervasive than we ...

No nonesense approach
I was reluctant about this book, and frankly about Quicken 2010 itself.Quicken Premier 2010 I've been using MS Money for the past decade or so, but when MS decided not to support and make newer versions I decided a change was needed.
I've been using Quicken 2010 for over a month now and will tell you that I simply love this software. It is everthing they claim and so much more. I use it for my ...

The Happiness Hypothesis: Finding Modern Truth in Ancient Wisdom97 reviews
Jonathan Haidt
Basic Books, 2006
One of my favorite books of all time.
This is the ONLY book I have read twice (and will definitely read again). Why? Because everything in it is so interesting, practical and useful. Not only that, the writing is top-notch. (I mean look at the reviews - as of my writing this - there is not one single 0 star review. I haven't seen any book on Amazon with that kind of record.)
Haidt begins with this excellent metaphor, "Modern ...

Janine R. Wedel
Basic Books, 2009
Nonpartisan, Fascinating, Revealing, and Important
Economists still don't know how the great recession could happen. Political scientists seem satisfied to analyze polls and use them to determine political strategies. Military leaders appear to be a political and purchasing arm of government that is unable to complete a military objective in today's environment. Can anyone untangle the complexity of how things really work and who is calling the ...

The Design of Everyday Things166 reviews
Donald A. Norman
Basic Books, 2002
A must read book for anyone interested in design and UX
I am a product design student at Stanford University, and found this book to be a great book. Although the beginning started out slow (reciting many of the sorts of examples that you would hear in beginning user-centered design classes). But, as you go through the book it moves beyond the basic principles, picking up steam, layering and extrapolating from them to a set of general techniques and ...

McGraw-Hill Medical, 2009
Bread & Butter of any Medical Practice
Having been in primary care medicine for nearly 20 years, I have found Katzung's "Pharmacology" books to be enormously informative and practical at the same time. There always are initial chapters that enable one to review one's biochemistry and physiology of drugs, followed by a balanced and pragmatic summary of all relevant groups of drugs, including their drawbacks and drug interactions. I ...
