Games Criminals Play: How You Can Profit by Knowing Them 26 reviews
Bud Allen, Diana Bosta
Rae John Publishers, 1981
An Eye-Opener
This book should be required reading for everyone. I bought it for my husband who is going into law enforcement, but read it myself. After reading it, I made my teenage son, and my four brothers, and my parents, friends and in-laws read it. It is a wake up call for those of us who go through life thinking the best of people, and assuming that everyone else does too. If you have anyone in your ...

Photoshop LAB Color: The Canyon Conundrum and Other Adventures in the Most Powerful Colorspace74 reviews
Dan Margulis
Peachpit Press, 2005
A totally new way of improving your pictures
A fellow flickr member pointed me toward this title, when I asked him how he got such beautifully, vivid colors. The author is, prior commentaries notwithstanding, a master of words, using them to make a fairly complex and potentially dry subject quite palatable. As I am not an expert in photography or color management, I will most likely not use most of what he lays out in the latter chapters, ...

Not just "How To" but "Why Do"
I originally wrote this review for my blog and decided to post it here since I think it'll help potential buyers decide if this book is for them. Enjoy...
First question: Is The Art and Technique of Digital Color Correction worth reading?
Answer: Yes! Absolutely.
Second question: Is it targeted at newbies or advanced users?
Yes. To both.
The first two thirds of the book "Primary ...

The PowerScore GMAT Sentence Correction Bible8 reviews
PowerScore Publishing, 2006
Must Have Study Guide!
I found the separation of the specific parts of speech in the 12 chapters allowed for easy reference. The format is easy to follow and at the end of each segment I felt an increased confidence in my understanding and retention of the material covered. The book is well written and I can say with absolute certainity that the knowledge gained was worth the money spent. Buy this book and keep it!!

Sentence Correction GMAT Preparation Guide (Manhattan GMAT Preparation Guides) 29 reviews
MG Prep, Inc., 2007
If SC is ur weakness,this is the best book for you!
SC was definitely one of my weaknesses. I have completed 3 online diagnostic test SO FAR. In each test, almost 80% of SC answers were wrong.
Understanding the usage of have/ has/ had, difference between Like vs As and If vs Whether, usage of right idioms...this book has it all. I have seen drastic improvement in my mock test score so far.
I have all these books:

The Little Book of Restorative Justice (The Little Books of Justice & Peacebuilding)1 review
Howard Zehr
Good Books, 2002
On the opposite pole from retributive justice...
A very short read, clearly stated, and very well worth the hour.
I love these "Little Books." This one brings to mind the Mennonite influences in America, these very same people whom W.E.B. DuBois celebrates in his essay "Atalanta."
What a relief to read about justice that might restore person and place, while accounting for wrongdoing. It is a breath of fresh air to think of something ...

This book is truly an eye opener. As a graphic arts manager in an industry that lives and dies by correct color, I am blown away by what Dan shows in this book. This is not a book for photoshop beginnners, but it will make you reevauluate the way you look at any color correction in the future. This is also not necessarily a book you will read (1) time and then put away. There is so much to ...

The Turnaround: How America's Top Cop Reversed the Crime Epidemic19 reviews
Peter Knobler
Random House, 1998
Police Innovation!
This book written by the creator of Compstat is a great read. This strategy is considered a major contribution to the field of policing by many and it is nice to hear about it from the creator. I bought this as part of a literature review for a thesis and it was a good place to start. William Bratton is a very motivational guy.

I can't imagine another software program that has inspired more third party books than Adobe Photoshop. Which book should you buy? With all the competition, you want the best value for your money. This book is one of a few that I have recently seen which comes with a DVD. The book is in full color and divided into lessons. The DVD contains the files you need to follow the lessons step by step. ...

Wadsworth Publishing, 2008
Great corrections book
I've taught college-level corrections courses for quite a few years now and have kicked around a number of different corrections texts. This new edition is definitely an improvement over previous ones--it's much heavier on the recent empirical research, which helps me to keep my students "on track" with what the actual research indicates regarding a number of correctional topics.
I do have ...

Mid-Course Correction: Toward a Sustainable Enterprise: The Interface Model8 reviews
Ray Anderson
Peregrinzilla Press, 1999
Better Ecology Focus Brings More Profits and a Better World
This book deserves more than five stars. Mr. Anderson has taken an important step forward in leading Interface Corporation towards becoming ecologically neutral. By that phrase, ecologically neutral, I mean taking nothing from and adding nothing to the environment. This concept has become a popular one in Europe beginning in Sweden, in the form of The Natural Step, but has been much more slowly ...

James C. McKinney

Excellent for Choir Directors!
I loved this book. I own 6 other books on the training of singers but this new acquisition is the BEST. It is short and to the point which tells me the author knows what he is talking about and gets down to business. It is filled with practical ideas for choir directors in working with members individually on their voices. He follows the same teaching sequence I was taught years ago - ...
