The Guerilla Art Kit 9 reviews
Keri Smith
Princeton Architectural Press, 2007
Fun Book.
I bought this as a gift for my husband so he could use this book as a tool for inspiration when he's not feeling creative (or feeling stuck on a project). Even though we've both had extensive art training it doesn't hurt to have some refreshing fun ideas to work with to get your mind flowing again.

What Law School Doesn't Teach You: But You Really Need to Know 10 reviews
Kimm Alayne Walton
Harcourt Legal & Professional Publications, Inc., 2000
Useful at any point...
I'm a starting 1L at Univ. of Houston Law this Fall and bought this book initially because the title got my attention. Boiled down, it's a refreshingly informal "How to" guide for summer internships and new associates. Some of the advice (e.g. on etiquette) might strike you as "Yeah, well of course...everyone knows that", but that doesn't mean we can't benefit from the occasional reminder! The ...

Up the Organization: How to Stop the Corporation from Stifling People and Strangling Profits (J-B Warren ...19 reviews
Robert C. Townsend, Warren Bennis
Jossey-Bass, 2007
A truly polemical business classic that retains its sharp edge 30 years on
This is a reprint edition of the classic business text by Robert Townsend. While it is largely like the original 1970 edition, it also includes material from the 1971 paperback version. Townsend made his biggest mark as CEO of Avis Rent-a-Car and the famous "We Try Harder" slogan. He became an early business media star and his sharp observations and criticisms of fat-cat management resonated ...

2011: Trendspotting for the Next Decade6 reviews
Richard Laermer
McGraw-Hill, 2008
Unbelievably brilliant, insightful and gosh darn humorous
If your whole working life you've desired to carry a business book on the plane, that would not only bring you to your knees with its sage wisdom and Yoda-like insight, but also greatly disturb the others around you because of your uncontrolled giggling, laughing and loud "ahas" then this is the book for you.
Seriously, buy this book.

On Guerrilla Gardening: A Handbook for Gardening Without Boundaries5 reviews
Richard Reynolds
Bloomsbury USA, 2008
A scattering of color photography enhances this eyebrow-raising gardening guide
On Guerrilla Gardening: A Handbook for Gardening Without Boundaries is a different kind of gardening book, describing how to use the power of gardening to beautify land one does not own - a technically illegal practice! And so those who engage in it apply tactics of Mao Tse-tung and Che Guevara to the (mostly) nonviolent acts of gardening. Cultivating plants has the potential to be an act of ...

The Tiger's Way: A U.S. Private's Best Chance for Survival 19 reviews
H. John Poole
Posterity Press, 2003
A fantastic implementation of Tokakure Ryu for the modern day
I have not finished this book, you should know. However, you should also know that this book made enough of an impression of me that I am writing a review before I have finished in violation of my own rules. I am an author myself and I value these reviews greatly - I wouldn't write if I didn't mean what I say.
This is a great book. In short, it takes the premises - as best we know - of ...

The Urban Guerilla Concept1 review
Jon Dough, Red ARMY FACTION
Kersplebedeb, 2005
A Manifesto of Revolution
The book is more of a communique than an ideological epic but it provides the justifications and philosophical leanings of the early RAF. Speculated to have been written by Ulrike Meinhof the piece is quite well written. Created shortly after the siege that freed Andreas Baader it touches down on the siege itself and the need to create an armed wing of resistance alongside a political one. It ...

5 Stars from a Germ Freak Parent
This is a great book to help prevent you and your family from getting sick. When I brought my premature twins home from the hospital I was told it was very important to keep them from getting sick that first year because they were at such a high risk for contracting RSV (respiratory syncytial virus) which can be fatal. This book helped keep the germs away. Despite the unpleasant subject, it is a ...

Guerilla Warfare57 reviews
Che Guevara
Univ of Nebraska Pr, 1985
Meh
This book is very simplistic and is based completely on the Cuban revolution. It has some interesting points here and there, but it is lacking the depth of other like works such as Mao's work on Guerrilla warfare. There are two works in one in this book. The first is on how to organize and fight a Guerrilla war, and the second is a rant against capitalism and the U.S.
This book did ...

Recommended reading for programmers new and old
Being a good coder has a lot to do with activities other than writing code. Don't get me wrong, I love learning about and experimenting with new products and technologies and my idea of the perfect day involves coffee, headphones, my code editor, and a good juicy coding challenge. In fact, sometimes I think it's the programming that's the easy part of this job. It's all the non-coding stuff that ...
