Entropy - no big deal

Wicca Demystified: A Guide for Practitioners, Family and Friends14 reviews
Bryan Lankford
Marlowe & Company, 2005
Learning the truth about Wicca sets you, family AND friends free
This book eschews commercialized versions of Wicca to deliver frank and truthful information to the audiences needing it the most. It is useful for individuals who are investigating Wicca as a religion, but it is especially helpful for the potentially confused (and scared) friends and family.
An avalanche of stereotypes and misinformation in this society about what Wicca is and who Wiccans ...

Book Marketing DeMystified: Enjoy Discovering the Optimal Way to Sell Your Self-Published Book, Practical ...8 reviews
Bruce T. Batchelor
Agio Publishing House, 2007
A resource for authors and independent publishers.
It often comes as a shock when newly published authors discover that they must bear most of the burden of marketing their books to the general reading public -- even if they are fortunate enough to be published by one of the major New York publishing firms like Random House, Simon & Schuster or Penguin-Putnam. For self-published authors that marketing responsibility is completely theirs. Most ...

Databases Demystified (Demystified)21 reviews
Andrew Oppel
McGraw-Hill Osborne Media, 2004
Clear and Concise
There are two things in life that are difficult: databases and comedy. Fortunately, the author makes understanding databases far less difficult with his clear explanations and examples. I confess that some aspects of a database (and I have some experience) are still a mystery, but I hurriedly read this book because I have some much reading to do. Sometimes, the best use of your time is to slow ...

Scriptology: Filemaker Pro Demystified13 reviews
Matthew Petrowsky, John M. Osborne
Iso Production Inc, 1998
by far the best filemaker pro book out
After using a customized filemaker pro solution for two years at work, which the company had outgrown, I decided to start from scratch and create my own. I have purchased several filemaker books over the past few months and this is the only one which supplemented the filemaker pro manual. It says it covers Filemaker Pro 3.0 and 4.0 but everything applies to Filemaker Pro 5.0 also. Absolutely ...

Review
JohnVacca has again written a book about a subject that has great application in the near future. As notebook computers are fast replacing desktop computers and as flat screen monitors are replacing CRT monitors, wireless data is replacing data transmission via cables of different types. Several companies have already replaced their local networks with wireless networks at work place where their ...

Mushrooms Demystified (Limited Edition)38 reviews
David Arora
Ten Speed Pr, 1986
The title describes it best
Perhaps the best affirmation of this book is how I acquired it: it was assigned as a textbook in an evening class at a local community college, "Mushroom Identification and Taxonomy". That was 15 years ago. It was a regular 4 credit hour class, using microscopes to examine spores etc. I can't imagine what other book would have been used because it is so detailed and carefully organized. As ...

Wiley, 2004
Brilliant and clear introduction
This is a really good introduction to derivative products. I have tried a lot of other books in this field and ended up thinking that they were far too complicated and obscure. This book is written in a very clear and simple way, and finally I have a real understanding of what is going on in derivative products, a subject I need to understand for my job in banking.

Finally-- a therapist tells it like it is!
I've been thinking about going into therapy for a long time, but have had no idea where to even start. This book makes the whole process of finding and choosing a therapist seem so manageable. It even gives concrete advice about where to find high-quality affordable therapy. Plus, it explains (in terms I can understand) the difference between the different kinds of therapy out there, and how to ...

The book has three main parts: (1) Unicode in essence: an architectural overview of the Unicode standard (six chapters) where you also get bits of terminology and history. (2) Unicode in depth: A guided tour of the character repertoire (six chapters) where you get a lot about writing systems that can be represented in Unicode, and less about the Unicode characters.

Rhonda Huettenmueller
McGraw-Hill Professional, 2005
*Superb* Self-Teaching Instrument
I applaud Rhonda Huettenmueller and whole heartedly agree with the R. Orchanian review (the New York teacher). The very best available that absolutely takes the mystery out of this area of mathematics. The sequence of the chapters is superb, clear, concise and very, very accurate. It includes process steps that are left out of many *so called* self-teaching guides which leaves many students ...

Roots Demystified: Change Your Gardening Habits to Help Roots Thrive7 reviews
Robert Kourik
Metamorphic Press, 2007
A great book!
This insightful and instructive book is full of surprising information--it's incredibly useful. Understanding how roots grow is key to successful gardening, and a lot of what I thought I knew about them (such as that most of a tree's roots lie below its canopy) was wrong. Kourik debunks a lot of myths, and his clear, easy to read text is loaded with interesting bits of information on growing all ...

It has practice problems and then quizzes at the end of a unit. Answers are either right after the problems or at the back of the book. Parents can use this to help kids, and math teachers can certainly use it for probably 5th through 8th or ...

Insulin Pump Therapy Demystified: An Essential Guide for Everyone Pumping Insulin (Marlowe Diabetes Library)7 reviews
Gabrielle Kaplan-Mayer
Marlowe & Company, 2002
Great for a new pumper or someone who cares about one
I've been a Type 1 (IDDM) diabetic for over 15 years. I was lucky in the sense that I didn't get it until college, so I didn't have to deal with it as a child. However, diabetes at any age is tough. The insulin dependent kind in particular is tough because no amount of exercise or weight loss is going to reverse it. However, there is one thing that can come close, insulin pump therapy.

Macromedia Press, 2001
Excellent Resource
This book is a must-have resource for anyone interested in working with Generator. Mike, Phillip, and Chris not only know their stuff, but they did a great job at sharing their knowledge in a way that even a novice can understand. They are able to share their real-world experience, and make using Generator just a little (maybe even a lot?) more palatable for the average Flash user.
