The HDRIHandbook: High Dynamic Range Imaging for Photographers and CG Artists +DVD28 reviews
Christian Bloch

Rocky Nook, 2007

Very enlightening
HDR (high dynamic range) images are starting to take the photography world by storm (at the time of this writing, the HDR Flickr group has over 18,000 members). If you ask a room full of people what HDR is, you get a wide range of answers, and typically they are all partly correct. Simply put however, HDR imaging is the process of creating an image that encompasses a wide range of exposure ... 		  
  







  
  
Characters, Emotion & Viewpoint: Techniques and Exercises for Crafting Dynamic Characters and Effective ...17 reviews
Nancy Kress

Writers Digest Books, 2005

Build Great Characters
Just as the title of the book says, "Characters, Emotion & Viewpoint," every book has them, and many of them. This book explains exactly how to create various characters, the different emotions that they may convey throughout your story, and the different viewpoints that may be utilized to make your writing more effective. This is a "must have" for anyone thinking of writing fiction, as are all ... 		  
  







  
  
The Five Dysfunctions of a Team: A Leadership Fable218 reviews
Patrick M. Lencioni

Jossey-Bass, 2002

The best book on teamwork
This was a great book, an easy read that was packed with information and suspense. After reading the fictional part of the book, I found the in depth descriptions of each dysfunction at the end of the book very important and informative. Also what makes this book so good is the fact that almost anyone in any team building situation can relate to the book. As a high school senior who is involved ... 		  
  







  
  
Carole Maggio Facercise: The Dynamic Muscle-Toning Program for Renewed Vitality and a More Youthful ...173 reviews
Carole Maggio

Perigee Trade, 2002

Facercises really work
I'm commenting on the facercise program (the exercises) and not necessarily the book. I did purchase it but didn't have the patience to read it (that's just me). I highly recommend purchasing the dvds instead. The visual demo vs. written explanation is much better to follow in my opinion. I make time to facercise once a day, virtually every day, and I must say, my face looks great. Better, ... 		  
  







  
  
Linked: How Everything Is Connected to Everything Else and What It Means94 reviews
Albert-Laszlo Barabasi

Plume, 2003

Great read
Nutshell review - This is such a fascinating topic and this is a great book covering it. Well written, lucid and worth reading about this interesting "new" field of networks and small worlds. Another book on the same topic, Nexus: Small Worlds and the Groundbreaking Theory of Networks by Mark Buchanan, covers the same topic. No need to buy both. 		  
  







  
  
Emotional Blackmail: When the People in Your Life Use Fear, Obligation, and Guilt to Manipulate You67 reviews
Susan Forward, Donna Frazier

Harper Paperbacks, 1998

For those in need, I highly recommend this book!
I myself am currently in the FOG that she describes in this and it has hit home very well and helping me redeem myself. She's VERY good at explaining and assisting. Sometimes I feel she's right there. Very informative about the different types of emotional blackmailers. I'm not done reading, but have gotten 3/4 of the way and I am so happy I bought this book. It caught my eye one day browsing ... 		  
  







  
  
Dynamic Art Projects for Children: Includes Step-by-step Instructions And Photographs21 reviews
Denise M. Logan

Crystal Productions, 2005

For Ages 7 and up
I "volunteer-teach" art to primary students. This year I am teaching 2nd grade. This is a great book - beautiful pictures, easy-to-reproduce projects. Be aware that not all projects in the book are for younger children. The age starts at 7 and goes to 12. There are a handful of projects for 7 year olds. Instructions are clear and well organized. It has been a great help. 		  
  







  
  
Fundamentals of Engineering Thermodynamics3 reviews
Michael J. Moran, Howard N. Shapiro

Wiley, 2007

great text
I took a course in Thermo as an undergrad, but I basically just learned how to solve the textbook problems to the point where I was able to pass the tests, but I never got a good intuitive understanding of the subject. My major was EE so one term of Thermo was a required course but not in the mainstream of my studies, so I never needed to understand it in any greater depth. I recently ... 		  
  







  
  
Complete Guide to High Dynamic Range Digital Photography (A Lark Photography Book)13 reviews
Ferrell McCollough

Lark Books, 2008

Excellent HDR Instructions
I have been looking for a book that gets right to the heart of HDR photography. I have read several books on the subject or what was to have been on the subject only to find out there was very little actual HDR instructions in these books. I decided to try one more when I bought this book, and I wish I would have bought it first. This book in very informative on all aspects of HDR photography and ...

Fundamentals of Fluid Mechanics24 reviews
Bruce R. Munson, Donald F. Young, ...

Wiley, 2005

No complaints here!
I bought this textbook so I wouldn't have to pay the University's terrible prices (more than twice the price actually). I received the book in the exact same condition advertised, very promptly, and for a much better price... I'm very pleased! 		  
  







  
  
Dynamic Laws of Prosperity74 reviews
Catherine Ponder

bnpublishing.com, 2007

What You Think Is What You Get
There are some long and very informative reviews here, but I think my title sums up the message of this book nicely. Every day I am amazed at how simple and how true it is that what we think is what we get. If we think positive thoughts, we get positive outcomes. An interesting thing is that it takes some discipline and training to think positive thoughts on a regular basis, and by that I mean ...

Force: Dynamic Life Drawing for Animators, Second Edition19 reviews
Mike Mattesi

Focal Press, 2006

The best I have found
I just finished reading this book the first time through, and it's great. All of the other reviews are spot on. It does help to have some knowledge of anatomy, but if you don't, you can still learn from this book, and it will make learning anatomy more fun. It has lots of great full page drawings too. I've noticed improvements in my skills, and look forward to going through it again in the ...

David Powers

friends of ED, 2006

Start using the PHP examples straight away
I decided I wanted to add PHP to my website to make it more dynamic and reduce maintenance. But I didn't know any PHP. So I picked up PHP Solutions and within an hour or two of opening the front cover, I had converted my website to PHP and added several dynamic features that were demonstrated in the book! This book is brilliant. It provides a good background and understanding of PHP and the ... 		  
  







  
  
The Book of Bright Ideas52 reviews
Sandra Kring

Delta, 2006

Wonderful story told from the eyes of a child
This novel is absolutely delightful. The story is told from the perspective of a 9-year-old girl nicknamed "Button", and I think Kring does a fantastic job. I could feel Button's terror when she becomes nervous (scratching the heck out of her skin and biting the side of her mouth), her joy when Winnalee told her she is her best friend, and her agony when she is forced to keep something from her ...

Martin A. Nowak

Belknap Press, 2006

Exquisite in Every Respect, Two-Fifths Equations & Charts
I don't do math, so I must disclose right away that the math was lost on me, except in the context of this equisitely presented book, I am compelled to recognize that mathematics as well as computation science is going to be a major player is the EarthGame, in modeling alternative outcomes for social and cultural complexity, and in cross-fertilizing disciplines by creating a common language. ...
