Honest and Insightful
Great book! I found it honest, to the point and there was no fooling around about the emotions and the reality of this war. I, for one, appreciate that.

Tom Kendrick

AMACOM, 2003

Good overview, heavy in IT & scheduling
This risk management book provides a good overview of the risk management process from start to finish, and provides examples from technical projects. The text guides the reader through the three steps of risk identification, assessment, and management, and discusses the difference between macro-management of risk at a corporate or portfolio level, and micro-management of risk at the project ...

Distressed Debt Analysis: Strategies for Speculative Investors

12 reviews
Stephen G. Moyer

J. Ross Publishing, 2004

Great & Comprehensive Practical Review
Unlike many academic books, this is a practical analysis of distressed debt, the bankruptcy process, and all the related financial, accounting and valuation issues that arise in this context. It is well written and well organized. Some other books on the topic go into significantly more detail in esoteric issues; however this book is a must for a grounded detailed understanding of the topic. ...

Beyond success and failure: Ways to self-reliance and maturity

Willard Beecher

Pocket Books, 1976

I was blessed to know Willard Beecher
I first read this book 30 years ago. I am still reading it! Its' words cut like a two edge sword through all self delusion. It helps to bring the reader back to a realistic, "doable in the now" approach to life. I don't think I've ever read another book that was such a bitter pill for my ego and yet the positive effects on my life are still occuring. I knew Willard and he embodied the ...

Is Your Body Baby-Friendly?: Unexplained Infertility, Miscarriage & IVF Failure - Explained and Treated

13 reviews
Alan E. Beer, Julia Kantecki, ...

AJR Publishing, 2006

A baby is almost guaranteed if you read this book
If your best friend was a book it would be this one. Dr Beer describes in easy to understand words how the immune system can go into overkill in some women. The result is miscarriage, IVF failure and infertility. But these outcomes can be prevented with the right tests and treatments. I read this book and found it technical when necessary but with lots of human interest stories and studies to ...

Not Even Wrong: The Failure of String Theory & the Continuing Challenge to Unify the Laws of Physics

16 reviews
Peter Woit

Jonathan Cape, 2006

Strings see things sideways.
Woit has written a very good book! Having studied strings since their inception (following on the duality work of Veneziano in 1968, and then many others) my work fortunately took a different path... The unique position that now appears is that of one who knows what strings are all about, but who enjoys seeing how long it'll take the rest of the physics fraternity to catch up - this claim is ...

Da Capo Press, 1998

Helping to cope with heart failure
I have been researching several pieces of literature and books regarding CHF. This book was my first choice. I was not disappointed. The book was in pristine condition and it was exactly what I was looking for. I was extremely pleased.

Lyndsay S. Baines, Rahul M. Jindal

Praeger Publishers, 2003

Breaks new ground
I am pleased that there is a new book dealing with chronic renal failure and transplantation. Psychological issues tend to get ignored; therefore, this book fills a need. This book may be useful for patients and support groups as well as physicians, surgeons and perhaps nurses. I found the transcripts interesting as we deal with similar patients in my work as a transplant coordinator. I ...

Averting 'The Final Failure': John F. Kennedy and the Secret Cuban Missile Crisis Meetings (Stanford Nuclear ...

Sheldon Stern

Stanford University Press, 2003

History At It's Best
History has two definitions: a chronological record of significant past events, and a story. Sheldon Stern's story of the Cuban Missile Crisis is history (both definitions) at its best. The scholarly, time-consuming, and meticulous research that went into this work abounds throughout its pages. The author's willingness to challenge earlier historical works on the translation of the crisis's ...

Tales of Young Urban Failure

Erik Moe

Chronicle Books, 1996

May be the funniest book I've ever read
A friend and I stumbled across this book in a Barnes & Noble three years ago, and though we opened our copies to different pages, we both started laughing so hard we were doubled over, and we couldn't get to the cash register fast enough. I let people borrow my copy occasionally, but only for short times and after extracting a promise to care for it. Erik Moe captures *everything* about the ...

When Smart People Fail

Carole Hyatt, Linda Gottlieb

Simon & Schuster, 1987

Required Reading for the Embattled Entrepreneur
Failure among the ambitious, upwardly mobile, educated and intelligent of our modern, industrialized society often comes across as being more devastating, more defining, and more frightening than it actually is. What in actuality defines us is not the number of our failures, but how we deal with our failure, how we look upon it, and most importantly, how we either use our failure or allow our ...

The Book of Heroic Failures

Stephen Pile

Ballantine Books, 1986

Great! Multiple readings will not diminish your fun.
I read this at a B&B in Wales; then was ecstatic to find it at Half Price Books in the States. I have lent it to many, but make strong demands for its return. You will want to make it part of your permanent collection.

How to Cheat at IT Project Management

8 reviews
Susan Snedaker

SYNGRESS, 2005

Deceptive title, good tradition management book
This is a solid work on traditional IT project management. I'm not really sure what the whole cheating thing is about. This is the basic IT project management book written in a text book style (questions at the end, checklists, etc.) There is information on politics, team management, managing and tracking implementation and more. It's more holistic than most of the books I've read on this ...

The Great Divide: The failure of Islam and the Triumph of the West

10 reviews
Alvin J. Schmidt

Regina Orthodox Press, 2004

Sociologist Compares Christianity to Islam
Schmidt writes this perspective on Islam from a sociologist's perspective also viewing it somewhat from the viewpoint of history and theology. He convincingly shows that the current view of Islam's history and beliefs compared with Christianity's is somewhat distorted and untrue. He aspect by aspect shows how today's world is not shown the entire breath of Islam's past and current cultural ...

Jagdish N. Sheth

Wharton School Publishing, 2007

A Critical Look in the Mirror
During the early 1980s, Tom Peters and Robert Waterman penned a business classic named In Search of Excellence. In it, they cited 62 "excellent" companies. Many, including Sears, Xerox, IBM and Eastman Kodiak, have faced serious problems since. Some recovered; some struggle to recover. Some are dead; others soon will be. Although the word "institution" implies permanence, Jagdish N. Sheth ...

C.V. Mosby, 1999

Great Study Guide for Certification
I used this book at a study guide for the nursing certification test in 2000. I passed with flying colors. It is comprhensive and to the point. There wasn't a subject in the test that was not covered in this book as well. This book is a much easier read than the ANNA curriculum. If you are looking to study for the CNN or CDN then look no further.

None So Blind: A Personal Account of the Intelligence Failure in Vietnam

9 reviews
George W. Allen

Ivan R. Dee, Publisher, 2001

There Was No "Intelligence Failure"
An outrageously good book! George Allen offers us a look into the notoriously secretive world of intellence analysts. What is stunning is that just as I suspected, there was no "failure" on the part of the Intelligence Community in Vietnam. The CIA predicted,prior to US involvement, that we could not stop the spread of Communism in Vietnam. As far back as the Indochina War, intelligence ...
