A Great Book!
This book is even better than Learning to See. There is much more detail about how to implement in-cell improvements. You are not doing LEAN until you start doing what this book teaches. I was able to start applying the principles immediately. This book shows you a practical, detailed, direct approach that is easier to understand and apply than the more theoretical LEAN Thinking and Machine ...

, 2004
This book is a critical part of any educators library.
This book is a companion to Barnhardt's work on the school portfolio. It is a beautiful introduction to basic data analysis for teachers and administrators in today's schools. The introduction to data bases, the importance of clear identification of dissagregation points and simple but critical rules of good action research make it a must for anyone interested in real accountability and ...

Arbitrage Theory in Continuous Time (Oxford Finance Series)

intuitive introduction to option pricing
I agree with several reviewers above that the book is written in a style very helpful for students to understand the material. It doesn't contain a lot of small details of financial markets like Hull's book, but the approach is very systematic. The derivations of formula for Barrier options is a nice example, Hull only lists a set of formula. The focus is on the theory, not on the practice. ...

, 1999
A very straightforward book
This book takes issue with how the teaching business is the only business where it's practitioners, teachers, expect and are expected to work in isolation. Mr. Schmoker does not take issue with teachers, nor does he blame them for this problem. Rather, he blames the institution of teaching for the problem. The book outlines how to take a school and bring improvement to it through regular teacher ...

Excellent read - entertaining and educational
One could fill a room with the books published on the Gettysburg campaign. Until recently, however, no single volume examined the tactical maneuvering following the battle itself as both armies maneuvered toward the Potomac. In most coverage of the campaign, scarcely a page covers the events between the end of the battle and the arrival of both armies at the Rappahannock River near Culpeper. ...

Great range of creative styles and original cables
I love Cables Untangled, and this book is even better - the cables are amazing and really different. As always with Melissa's books, the instructions are very clear and easily understood. I can't wait to make the hoodie on the cover and the man's pattern on the back cover is one of the nicest patterns for a guy that I have ever seen. The stitch dictionary in the back will be a great resource. ...

She blows away the concept of "writer's block," inspiring the reader with clear and simple suggestions for writing as a daily process. Even if you are NOT interested in writing, chances are that you will be ...

Theory of Continuous Groups (Dover Books on Mathematics)

Charles Loewner
Dover Publications
, 2008
A useful guide
Short, and much more accessible than other modern treatments, getting quickly to the meat and bones. Loewner eschews "abstraction for the sake of abstraction", which lets you see what the content of continuous groups is about (representations, integration on groups) without your getting lost in a maze of formalism: you feel rooted. To get through this little book quickly, you need to have a ...

I am limited to 5" or 6" designs and I wanted something a little more complex than simple curves and waves. This book has 126 pages of designs. The line drawings range from complex scrolls to very simple hearts. There are even more complex tripple color drawings to create those ...
