Advanced Web Metrics with Google Analytics 14 reviews
Brian Clifton
Sybex, 2008
THE BOOK for Google Analytics
This book is a MUST for anyone who is trying to use Google Analytics.
You will probably have to read through it more than once (at least I did) but that is because it was packed with information on how to best implement tracking, comprehend data and use it to improve your site with Google Analytics.

Creating a Lean Culture: Tools to Sustain Lean Conversions 11 reviews
David Mann
Productivity Press, 2005
Great reference on real lean
This book fills an essential gap between Liker's Toyota Way and the many books on Lean Tools.
We intentionally didn't begin our lean transformation in our large service orgnization until we had this book because we saw the folly in trying to implement a bunch of lean tools without the necessary management system.
We have visited some Tier 1 Toyota suppliers and Kaizen really means ...

The Bronze Bow95 reviews
Elizabeth George Speare
Sandpiper, 1997
Even better the second time around!
I read this with two of my children a handful of years ago and just recently, for the second time, with my youngest. It's even better than I remembered! Others have summed up the plot very well, so I'll just say, this is an excellent book!

Tim Ash
Sybex, 2008
Design websites for visitors & not for yourself...
Tim Ash provides an exhaustive study of design & testing so you can learn how to compel your websites' visitors to take action. This book inspired a paradigm shift in my web design philosophy. Before I really had no philosophy - only designs. Now I am in the process of retooling all of my sites to focus on usability & the needs of visitors. I hope I can maintain the discipline to test for more ...

Why I Became an Atheist: A Former Preacher Rejects Christianity 15 reviews
John W. Loftus
Prometheus Books, 2008
The Gold Standard
John Loftus presents a thorough, honest, reasonable and accurate case for why he is an atheist, and more to the point, why Christianity should be rejected. This is a book to be read cover to cover, as each chapter builds on the chapters before it. He makes an excellent case for the position we should take in evaluating Christianity. Many people get trapped in circularity by arguing from within ...

Rome Sweet Home: Our Journey to Catholicism185 reviews
Scott Hahn, Kimberly Hahn
Ignatius Press, 1993
Rome Sweet Home
I would say that this book is extremely good for us as a beginner in finding Catholic faith. Because the contents itself is very easily to understand.
Since my background studies were in Protestant, I would like to recommend this book for anyone who just or about to enter Catholic. I just had baptised in Catholic, I am very happy and also I found so many truth are being hide in Protestant ...

Photovoltaics: Design and Installation Manual27 reviews
Solar Energy International
New Society Publishers, 2004
To be fair...you probably should buy this...but...
To be fair, I have not read this book. Why 5 stars? The book is a for-profit venture by the author, so recovery of time, effort, & energy is important for revenue reasons. So why write this review? After spending nearly 12-18 hours perusing AMAZON's book list on solar energy and photovoltaic systems, I was frustrated! None of the reviews on any single book seemed to be convincing enough to make ...

I Once Was Lost: What Postmodern Skeptics Taught Us About Their Path to Jesus6 reviews
Don Everts, Doug Schaupp
IVP Books, 2008
Ya Can't Treat Everyone The Same
I was a little worried about the book's approach when it stated it that there are five stages a pre-christian goes through before understanding what it takes to make a commitment to Jesus (as in, "Oh no, not another formula..."). But as I read I saw these stages as not being so much "steps to peace with God" but more like "steps to understanding the journey they are on". It is a book that snaps ...

Multichannel Marketing: Metrics and Methods for On and Offline Success6 reviews
Akin Arikan
Sybex, 2008
This is an IMPORTANT book....
As a consultant, I interact with marketers everyday. Everytime I begin a new engagement, I spend volumes of time creating a common language and understanding around what "multi-channel marketing" means in today's world...certainly not an efficient investment of my time or my client's dollars.
FINALLY, there is a book that meets MY standards on both the theory and practice of multichannel ...

Switch-Mode Power Supplies Spice Simulations and Practical Designs6 reviews
Christophe P. Basso
McGraw-Hill Professional, 2008
Best of the Best
Christophe Basso worked very hard giving years of his life to produce the best Switch-Mode Power Supply book available, by far. I have a large collection of books on SMPS and although many are very good books, they are not nearly as complete or practical as Basso's book. He derives all his equations and then shows many real world example designs from start to finish. In my opinion and the ...

Sara Miles
Ballantine Books, 2008
I loved it
This book was SO good. It is one of the best queer spiritual journeys I've ever read. Sara Miles is unpretentious and honest, and I think she captures the spiritual dilemmas that so many of us face right now.
If you are struggling with your spiritual journey and chafe against old names and categories, this book will change your life. I think it's going to be a very influential text.
Oh, and ...

Manning Publications, 2006
Good book
This is nice book, though most of the contents can be found online (I believe it is linked from the author's website). I have created some complex PDF files using iText following the examples on the book and online tutorials. This is the book from iText creator, surely it worth a 5 starts.

Excellent Resource
I saw this book advertised in Entrepreneur Magazine and knew I needed help with my new ecommerce site [...] so I went on-line and bought myself a copy. The ROI on this resource tool is beyond measure. This 203 page book and accompanying CD contains so much useful information that it makes my head spin.
