Your Personal AgePrint
A few years ago I read The Edge Effect and got impressed with the work of Dr Braverman. Now in "Younger You" I found even more evidence that feeling younger... and getting younger is a feasible option for just about everyone. Each of us can reach for a longer and healthier old age by applying what Dr Braverman outlines in such eloquent way.
The AgePrint worksheet in this book is incredible ...

I thought I was ordering a paperback book,I received a looseleaf book.I don`t know if the mistake is mine or a misprint.I do know that thr NEC Tabs are not a CD Rom, they are sticky back tabs that stick to the page to locate articles in the book quicker.I`m pretty sure I saw "paperback"and I don`t recall seeing "looseleaf".In either case bold print identifying paperback or looseleaf would be most ...

Clean Code: A Handbook of Agile Software Craftsmanship (Robert C. Martin Series)5 reviews
Robert C. Martin
Prentice Hall PTR, 2008
A must-buy for object-oriented developers
When most people hear the term "bad writing" they understand the term: Confusing, inconsistent, rambling, big words used incorrectly.
In fact, we have lots and lots of educational programs designed to teach grammar, composition, journalism, and fiction. Master's Degrees in the subject, even.
But for software development we seemed obsessed with "architecture" (whatever that means), process ...

I would love to BS over martinis with this guy
Did you ever feel like someone listened to all your thoughts, figured out exactly what your interests are, then wrote novels specifically directed at you? I love everything that this guy writes. Partly because he writes well, but also partly because he thinks deeply on topics that interest me: modern currencies (which are basically confidence games), future implications of nanotechnology, the ...

Excellent Primer on the Development of Modern Liberalism
Over the past decade, the ideological battle between liberals and conservatives has been fought on the internet and in the local bookstore. Whether it is Al Franken calling conservatives liars, or Ann Coulter imploring her followers to refrain from speaking to liberals, the public has been inundated with many opinions from which to choose. Conservative writer Jonah Goldberg has recently joined ...

NEC Review
I like the NEC because it is a guide for preforming electrical jobs in the workplace. If I don't know the local jurisdiction's preference, I can use the NEC and proceed from there with little fear of reprisal from those concerned authorities. I like the fact that there is a national standard that field techs can refer to for quick reference and guidance on job assignments. This book can save a ...

Everything you need to build a garage (or house)!
If you are acting as a contractor on your home or garage project, then this book is invaluable to make sure that the subs are building to code or making sure that you are building to code. As an retired contractor and engineer, I've come to realize over time that codes actually do have a purpose in life besides making the building process a pain. The old farm house I bought probably wasn't ...

Pleasant to read and extremely practical.
I am an entry level software developer who has only been in the industry for a little over a year. While I was in college, I was always provided with very clean code bases to work with or analyze. I was in for a huge surprise when I entered the real world. The code I deal with every day at work is an extremely ugly mess. We have no automated tests. We are basically operating at CMMI level 0. ...

The Da Vinci Code3864 reviews
Dan Brown
Anchor, 2006
Amazing book
An absolutely amazingly fascinating book. It has made even the most die-hard atheists interested in religion. No matter how much is true, it just doesn't matter. This book has made the average book reader think, discuss and question so many things in our everyday life and existence.
I spent an entire evening plus the following night reading it non-stop.
DO NOT see the movie, it sucks!!

Finally an answer to why I couldn't lose weight!
After trying both Weight Watchers and Jenny Craig several times and losing only 5-8 pounds after months of dieting, I finally found out why I couldn't lose weight -- I had insulin resistance. I bought this book and started linking and balancing protein, fiber and carbs the way the book recommends and my weight is finally coming off. I totally recommend this book. :-)
