US Army Survival Manual: FM 21-76 51 reviews
Department of Defense
Department of the Army, 1970
A Great Book
Survival is a skill, and one you need to work on, you can have all the books in the world but unless your actually go out and try these things it's nothing but a collection of paper.
that being said this is an excellent source of information that you can use to attempt trapping food (Please check that it's legal in your area and remember where you placed all your traps as well as make sure you ...

Kaplan GRE Exam 2009 Premier Program (w/ CD-ROM) (Kaplan Gre Exam (Book & CD-Rom)) 8 reviews
Kaplan
Kaplan Publishing, 2008
Highly recommended
This book gives an excellent overview of what the GRE will be like, and has lots of super tips as to how to best approach the different question types. When I got to the math section I was a little overwhelmed, especially since I have never had geometry, only algebra. But the authors say that it is not a math test at all and go on to explain how to approach each type of math question. I am so ...

Barron's GRE (Barron's How to Prepare for the Gre: Graduate Record Examination (Book Only))9 reviews
Sharon Weiner Green, Ph.D. Ira K. Wolf
Barron's Educational Series, 2007
Nice GRE Review
I had 5 weeks to prepare and I really appreciated the thoroughness of this GRE prep./review book and it made me feel like I could perform decently. If you're far removed from middle and high school math I would recommend doing the math review section at the latter end of the book before you go through the quantitative section. I did not do it that way and ended up feeling a bit stupid because I ...

Kaplan GRE Math Workbook, Sixth Edition 18 reviews
Kaplan
Kaplan Publishing, 2007
Not as comprehensive as I expected it to be.
If you're looking for a book to prep you for the quantitative section of the GRE, this workbook by Kaplan is not a comprehensive prep book. I personally found Barron's to be the best guide in helping me with the Math section of the GRE. I bought this book thinking it would a good practice book, but I found it to be average and the practice questions are much easier than the questions I found on ...

GRE: Practicing to Take the General Test 10th Edition (Practicing to Take the Gre General Test)88 reviews
Educational Testing Service
Ets/Educational Testing Service, 2002
Great for drilling AFTER you have learned strategies
These are REAL tests published by the test-makers. This is the best way to practice for the GRE once you have learned the Kaplan strategies. When I tutor my GRE students, we start with the Kaplan Comprehensive Program book to learn the skills and strategies, then practice with this book.
This book is written by the test-makers, so the first part of the book covers more material than is ...

Anne Bogardus
Sybex, 2007
Highly recommend this book
I was late signing up with the PHR exam and I didn't have a lot of study time by the time I received this book, like a month. I used this book as my only source of information (I did graduate with my Bachelors and have worked in Staffing/HR for 9 years) and passed on my first try. I was very nervous because I kept hearing that it's difficult to pass on the first time, but this book helped me ...

Kaplan GRE Exam Verbal Workbook, Fifth Edition 2 reviews
Kaplan
Kaplan Publishing, 2007
Many repeated practice questions from the Premier edition.
If you already own the Kaplan Premier edition for the GRE, then don't waste your money buying this as many of the questions for the verbal component are repeated in here. Though I found the opposite drills useful, most of the other drills were only average and I personally preferred Barron's GRE coverage of the verbal component. By itself, this would be good if you don't already own the Premier ...

This is an excellent background and first draft of history for the last seven years.
Feith was a policy/ analyst guy. He is not a foaming at the mouth, neo-con ideologue. He is a DC area lawyer, that worked in the NSC under Reagan/ Bush the elder and then more law work during Clinton, while keeping an amateur hand in the defense/ policy world.

Pulitzer Worthy
James Rosen has written the defining biography of the Watergate era. This incredibly detailed and painstakingly researched book is worthy of a Pulitzer. Rosen's writing is eloquent, informative, and impossible to put down. His observations are spot on. Reading this reminds me very much of the late David Halberstam who was one of America's greatest authors. This book is a must have for any ...

All the things they took out of the 4th edition are back plus more and it's well explained. They covered each subject in more depth than ever before. In this particular edition they added first aid for firefighters and Haz-mat/Decon. You won't be a Haz-mat tech or an ...
