This book is a fantastic read if you are thinking of turning your passion into your own business. My suggestion for anyone thinking of starting their own company is to first buy this book and then think deeply about the risks involved, and if you still think they are truly worth it, then read ...

The Broadband Explosion: Leading Thinkers On The Promise Of A Truly Interactive World (Crash Course)4 reviews
Harvard Business School Press, 2005
Thinking about the Broadband Future
It seems like technologies start off very small, mill around for a while, and then explode. I remember attending a communications conference ten years or so ago and first learning about the move of broadband to the individual home. There were all kinds of things being talked about from cable modems to DSL. Then I went home and tried to get one. The people at the cable company and the phone ...

Crash Course for the GRE, 3rd Edition (Graduate Test Prep)4 reviews
Princeton Review
Princeton Review, 2007
The Best $10 You'll Spend on GRE Prep
Crash Course for the GRE is primarily about the test itself, not the skills the GRE ostensibly tests, so it's suitable for test takers of all levels. It doesn't try to teach you math, reading, or writing; instead, it arms you with strategies (and an irreverent attitude) for tackling the test itself. You'll learn how to find the correct answer to problems quickly, and how to make an educated guess ...

It covers everything a writer needs to know about getting a children's book published--I only wish I had it when I was starting out! Cynthea's fresh, conversational style makes her book not only jam-packed with great information but a joy to read. Plus, I think her tips on revision are spot on. ...

Sams, 2005
clear concise and comprehensive
If you are considering MySQL you may not know how, but you are not a dummy. This book is not for dummys in that it doesn't patronize nor take you into convoluted scenarios, this book is for the reasonably intelligent who want to do stuff. What a blessing.
I was familiar with databases having worked with MS Access, but I had never worked with SQL. This book hit the spot in showing me what I ...

A Crash Course to Learn the Devanagari Script (For Hindi, Marathi and Sanskrit Languages)4 reviews
Bharat S. Shah
Setubhandh Publications, 1999
Simple and convenient
I found this booklet presented a simple approach to learning how to read the Devanagari script. Since I can already speak and understand Hindi, I also liked the fact that the book is limited in scope and does not go beyond teaching the script, because that would be unnecessary for me.

Crash Course for the SAT, Second Edition (College Test Prep)2 reviews
Princeton Review
Princeton Review, 2003
SAT Prep - the condensed version
If your chances of getting your child to study in advance for the SATs is minimal, this is the book for you. I examined many SAT Prep books, and this one offered the "condensed" version of what all the others included. For a quick review, it's great, and certainly less expensive that other prep products.

Comics Crash Course2 reviews
Vince Giarrano
Topeka Bindery, 2004
One of the best!
I just bought this book last December 2004, and I must say it's one of the best how-to draw comics. It's not exactly "how to draw" because as the title says it's a crash course on how to make comic books. By this, I mean that the instructions on drawing are not very detailed. But when it comes to story-telling and do's and dont's in creating comics, this book has it all.
The author included so ...
