16 reviews
Dale F. Bloom, Jonathan D. Karp, ...

Oxford University Press, USA, 1999

What Grad School is Really Like
The PhD process is a great overview of graduate school in the sciences. It covers most basic topics such as choosing a type of school, applying, preliminary exams, comps, thesis work, etc. Of course each school does these things slightly differently, but the main points are there and the authors do a good job of pointing out where differences between programs are likely to turn up.

Troubleshooting Windows 2000 TCP/IP

Thomas W. Shinder, Debra Littlejohn Shinder

SYNGRESS, 2000

Excellent Coverage of Win2k Net Services
This book is fresh air to someone like myself who has read at least a dozen Windows 2000 books. I get the impression that a lot of the Windows 2000 books were written by people who write books and don't work with the technology. This book doesn't fall into that class. It was great to read this book, because it renewed my faith that a tech book could be written in a way that doesn't put me to ...

AMACOM/American Management Association, 2003

Beyond Theory Into Real-Life HR
I have been involved in the HR field for some 21 years. Like any HR professional, we have a lot of stories to tell. In this book, Libby Sartain has a way of melding her stories with solid HR theory. At times, the book is simple and colloquial but more often than not it weaves its simplicity into a picture of HR I think and practitionaer would want to establish at their workplace. A lot has ...

I read this book simply because my boyfriend said he couldn't put it down. I was mesmorized by the bravery these men went gave out to fight the fire.

Not only is this book about the fire and the fighters themselves, but it also depicts the family's devistation after ...

Before anyone decides to dedicate their lives to becoming a firefighter, they would be wise to start their research here. Some 30+ years after it was first published, this book still shows remarkable insight into the lives, struggles, and emotions of a professional firefighter. When I started on the road to becoming a firefighter, being a volunteer and reading Dennis Smith books asserted in my ...

Published in association with the Department of Tourism for the Philippine National Centennial (1896-1998), 1997

Eye Opener
This book is a great book for young Filipino Americans who need some inspiration. As a Filipino American growing up in USA, I never really felt any connection with the Philippines. I was brought up by knowing only the stereotypes that sometimes make a Filipino American want to shy with embarrassment. Stereotypes are everywhere within any culture. By reading this book and flipping through the ...

Full of Action
Elsner, Alan. "The Nazi Hunter", Arcade Books, 2007. Full of Action Amos Lassen There is something about the Holocaust that makes me keep wanting to read about it. It certainly was the most horrible period in the history of the world and perhaps that is so unbelievable that it happened is the reason I read about it so much. Evil is a foreign idea to me and I cannot understand it. I ...

Insider's Guide to Graduate Programs in Clinical and Counseling Psychology: 1996/1997 Edition

14 reviews
John C. Norcross, Michael A. Sayette, ...

The Guilford Press, 1996

Get This to Get In
For anyone interested in clincal or counseling graduate study, this book is essential. These areas are extremely competitive and one cannot go into the process "blind." The general APA guide can be useful, but it covers many areas and mainly gives the basic facts on all programs. On the other hand, this book is very specialized. It gives information on the programs, but also includes invaluable ...

Cambridge University Press, 2005

This book was money well spent!!!!!!
This book is AWESOME. I am a Stanford medical student and found this book to be THE MOST VALUABLE BOOK I HAVE BOUGHT! Why? Several reasons! First, this book is organized differently. Normally, books are organized by system (renal, cardio, pulmonary) and later offer disease descriptions. This book offers a more realistic approach as each chapter explores a symptom and offers multiple ...

A Plague on Your Houses: How New York Was Burned Down and National Public Health Crumbled (Haymarket)

9 reviews
Deborah Wallace, Rodrick Wallace

Verso, 2001

How public policies can destroy communities
This book gives a thorough analysis on how public policies were the catalysts for the socioeconomic destruction of low-income communities of color in New York City. Necessary reading for those who still do not realize that activism and organizing are important vehicles through which marginalized communities keep in check the forces that seek to further fragment and disenfranchise them.
