Henry IV 17 reviews
William Shakespeare
Cram Cassettes Study Guides, 1988
The two sides of Hal
Henry IV remains one of my favorite Shakespeare plays, even though the tragedies and comedies get far more attention and seeming appreciation than do the histories. As an English major, I examined Henry's (Hal's) character, and I focused on his development from a somewhat foolhardy young man into a self-assured, even manipulative prince. It is hard to say which of these Hal truly is, or if he is ...

If you are new to networking, use this book over Sybex
First off don't get me wrong the Sybex book is great. However, if you weren't really familar with networking terms it is hard to just jump in and start reading.
I do have to say that this book is better at helping new people in to the networking world. The author does not jump around with terms. He will explain it to you before he will use it. Some of the other books out there will use terms ...

Timeless Classic
I read this book when I was a kid and remember it as one of my favorites. Recently I found it in a box of old books at my mother's house and brought it out to read to my kids. They where just as spell bound as I was. It is one of the most successful books at seeing life through the eyes of a wild animal without huminizing the animal. It does harken back to a time when the govermant paid ...

Customers That Count: How to Build Living Relationships with Your Most Valuable Customers5 reviews
Tony Cram
Financial Times/Prentice Hall, 2001
A treasure trove of best practices
Successful customer relationship management isn't quite as simple as ordering the right hardware and software. As Tony Cram so brightly notes, the best practitioners of CRM are the ones that have mastered the complexities of treating customers as friends. Employees are the linchpins in building those relationships. Employees' consistent, reliable treatment of customers is what really matters in ...

Oracle8 DBA: Network Administration Exam Cram (Exam: 1Z0-016)20 reviews
Barbara Pascavage
Coriolis Group Books, 1999
execellent for exam preparation
I read this book and Couchman's Oracle 8 DBA Certification Guide (from Oracle Press). The Exam Cram book did a great job covering the bases needed for the Oracle networking exam. It is very concise and to the point. If you ignore the number of silly typos, the book attacked the topics very well from examination point of view. I think it was a very poor proofreading effort! I gave a 5 star ...

Great Guide!
This book is awesome! I have read the other SAIR Linux Certification test books, but none of them truly let you understand what you're doing like this book, along with a practice test on the end of each chapter, this book really makes sure you understand your stuff! I reccommend this book for novices to the 'LeEt Linux haxor'z.

Soldiering With Sherman: Civil War Letters of George F. Cram4 reviews
George Franklin Cram
Northern Illinois University Press, 2000
Balancing the view from the trenches with historic context
Ms. Bohrnstedt's thoughtful and informative context for George Cram's letters is invaluable. The letters themselves are a treasure-- first-hand accounts from the trenches of the Civil War. Reading the book by the fireplace is like sitting with a Civil War maven, paging through scrapbooks with yellowed pages that come alive as she describes what is behind the scenes. What makes this book a 5-star ...

A Good Bet for Exam 70-320
This certification study-resource from Author Amit Kalani, served as a rather indispensable part of the revision portfolio for Exam 70-320 (XML Web Services and Server Components with C# .NET ).
Simply put, it is a very useful & sound comprehensive reference for Exam 70-320. It served me greatly in gaining both an overview of all the elements that would appear on the 320 exam, but also served ...

Carcajou2 reviews
Rutherford George Montgomery
Caxton Printers, 1936
Best book I've read in over 40 years
I first read this book in Junior High school in Minnesota. I really enjoyed the story and found myself cheering for the Wolverine who was the main character. The title "carcajou" is the Indian word for the wolverine meaning "Devil". This clever and most powerful animal on the planet (based on his size) captivated my mind completely. For the last forty plus years since reading this ...

Great for exam cramming
I bought this core pack and the individual IIS and TCP/IP. After taking some classes, it was the perfect tool to cram with. I did not want to go though a 500-700 page book, so 180 or so pages was perfect. I passed one test a week.

How wonderful to have this delightful book resurface again. I very rarely read fiction, yet this book is special. It is not only beautifully written and moving, but haunting. I read it twice before buying it again recently (both of my earlier copies were borrowed by close friends and never returned). The first time I read it, I was 15; it had been recommended by my high school journalism ...

Dodo Press, 2006
Fascinating and very insightful
Peter Abelard (1079-c.1142) was a renowned French philosopher and theologian, though he is usually remembered today for his affair with the beautiful Heloise, which ended with his being castrated by the girl's uncle. This short book (48 pages) contains Peter Abelard's autobiography, entitled Historia Calamitatum or The Story of My Misfortunes, which was written shortly before his death. In it, ...

Where the Fuzzy Marmots Grow4 reviews
James D. Braman
Good Scout Pub, 1998
Delightful--a story to savour and share.
James Braman's book is a delightful, charmingly-told story about Boy Scout Troop 511 of Bremerton, Washington. The boys' rollicking adventures as they explore the wilds of the Northwest and venture forth in their ancient Fageol bus to view the wonders of Grand Coulee Dam are thoroughly entertaining. At the same time, the book subtly provides a recipe for building character and a foundation ...

Excellent Cram Guide!
Daniel Newman's book is an excellent choice for studying for the difficult CSPFA exam. It is an easy read, concise, and covers the main points for the exam. Directly before I took the exam, I read through his book twice, taking special notice to alerts and the cram sheet in the back. You can see his instructor ability shine through as he provides creative scenarios and examples that both ...

A Gift of Peace from my Nana
Twelve years ago, my Nana gave me this book to read. It was hers from before she was even married - the bookplate has her maiden name, and the publication date reads 1934. At the time she gave it to me, I was sixteen, a junior in high school. I read it, enjoyed it, and put it back on my bookshelf where it sat for these twelve years - through my college days, through several moves. My Nana ...

Straight Along a Crooked Road
This book is excellent. I've been reading it to my fourth graders since Marilyn Cram Donohue came to speak at our school during Children's Book Week. It is based on real events, and gives students a real feel for what it was like to make the difficult journey across America. We always enjoy the fact that they settle in San Bernardino, which is next to where my students live. This book has so many ...
