fun for kids and adults
If only they had books like this when I was young...I may have enjoyed history. This is a great book...and a great subject. Alice is hilarious and independent...and the illustrations are as colorful and entertaining as her antics are. A great book for young girls...encourages independence, curiousity, humor, and adventure. Don't miss this one!

an essential handbook for designing software
Cooper's argument in this book is simple: you have to know your users, and you have to understand what they're trying to accomplish with your software. The method that he puts forth for achieving this understanding is personas, richly-described archetypical users. The book is easy to read and understand. He begins with a detailed description of the problem with software design as carried ...

Simplicity makes it perfect!
It is very simple guide that covers almost all critical time management tools and techniques. The level of simplicity shows that the writers are great masterminds of the subject. No doubt it took so much research, analysis and effort to write such a nice material loaded with many useful tips and advices. The writers say they had read 20 books on the subject and selected them on the basis of ...

It's Time We Put Fluffy to Sleep
Let's face it, anyone planning on earning an income in the field of marketing today knows it's all about results. Fluffy, unquantifiable, "feel-good" messaging is dead, and Mr. Baskin clearly (and quite entertainingly) explains that branding is behavior. Without results, we're wasting time and money. I'm a twenty-plus year marketing professional with Fortune 500 experience and stacks of ...

A Story that Needed to be told!
I first read Frank Schaeffer's book "Baby Jack The Novel" and felt it was a brilliant story and well written. I never realized that this author was the also the same guy who was one of those fundamentalist leaders who helped marry the religious right to the GOP. In his newest book "Crazy for God" the author writes a very personal and brutally honest memoir, that opens up and exposes the ...

One of the most helpful books I have ever read
There are few books out there that both inspire and inform at the same time. With each sentence, I kept nodding my head in approval because it all applied to me. As I read the part on emotional onneness and emotional intuition, I could not help getting teary eyed because for the first time I had an explanation for what I had. I was not abnormal, or an emotional wreck. I had a gift all along ...

Highly recommended for little kids!
I bought this book on a whim -- I wanted a quiet indoor activity that my 7 year old niece and my mom could do together. My niece absolutely LOVED this book. She was old enough to know how to read, and young enough to enjoy doing little crafty projects -- I think that's a key combination to how much a child will like this book. She could figure out the directions herself, and she and my mom ...

The book accomplishes everything a How-To book accomplishes while focusing on helping budding cartoons work towards personal style. Each section contains tip lists, excellent shortcuts and insider notes you won't find in other books. I've collected cartooning books for over ...

An Authenticated Portrait
Little is known about Crazy Horse in comparison to other legendary chiefs, warriors and heroes due to the quiet-spoken and solitude-seeking nature he possessed. Indeed, Crazy Horse was considered "strange" due to standing true to his ideals and who he really was, instead of the conventional ways of others no matter how traditional. Born of lighter hair and skin, young Curly stood out as ...
