The book is so good you can teach yourself
This textbook is one of the best I've ever used. Incropera and DeWitt do a great job of explaining convection, conduction, and radiation. I have heard that the mass transfer portion of the book is lacking however, I am an ME major so its not an issue. The covering of conduction is especially good, it goes into great detail math wise although its well presented so you don't have to be a ...

Their friendship began in 1862. The Civil War was raging. Dickinson was thirty-one; Higginson, thirty-eight. A former pastor at the Free Church of Worcester, Massachusetts, he wrote often for the cultural magazine of the day, The ...

Stylish Erotica
I had just arrived home from work and my husband had that familiar twinkle in his eye. He took me in his arms and virtually stripped me where I stood and gave me the sexual experience of a lifetime. It was only later that I learnt that he had spent the afternoon reading Wild Wicked and Wanton and needed to release his built up passion on me. Needless to say I spent the next day devouring the book ...

Apprentice of apprentices
Anyone who has ever worked at a continental-style restaurant should read this book. I picked up "Heat" in the interests of reliving my experiences in two continental restaurants, run by two totally different-in-temperament chefs, one Austrian, one Swiss. Neither one embodies quite the insanity exhibited by Mario Batali, the owner/operator of Babbo in New York City,and known via TV as The Iron ...

And he does it with the intimacy and sensitivity of someone who's been through the process himself.

A Lot of Good Remains in America
I have written many reviews for Amazon.com. Blue Highways is the only book to which I've given five stars. I would recommend it to anyone. Blue Highways is William Least Heat-Moon's account of his 1978 low-budget car ride across America. Heat-Moon's reporting reminds me a lot of Charles Kuralt's On the Road reports for CBS News. Heat-Moon has a talent for engaging strangers on the road and ...

Recipes for serious/dedicated cooks only
For serious cooks only; this is one of my cook book bibles, I've even successfully cooked the stuffed pigs trotters, very difficult and time consuming, and for sanity's sake not to be attempted more than once a year, but definitely worth it (or otherwise go to La Tante Claire in London to experience the original), however the Lemon Tart is easy and divine. This is the sort of book I expect from ...

A killer hot legal thriller
I love the Alex Cooper books both because they are great legal thriller and because of the New York history lessons Linda Fairstein includes as part of the plot. This one has Governors Island, which I saw every day from the windows of my last apartment in NYC, and a couple other interesting "ghost islands." I think the book stands on its own pretty well, but if you are new to the Alex Cooper ...

Freaking LOVED it!
This is rare for me, because I'm usually not one to gush over a book, but I really did freaking LOVE this one! I think Caine's writing is brilliant. Just the right amount of action and humor, a little romance mixed in...just an awesome book. Rachel Caine is fast becoming one of my favorite authors.

He's always on the mark
Basically, any book written by Alton Brown, I buy. He's just so interesting and unique. He researches and thinks things through. If you like his TV show, Good Eats, then you'll want to buy his cookbooks.

Great Book
I don't usually write reviews of books that I have purchased but I felt that I had to for this one. Does a great job in explaining the concepts and doesn't leave you lost as it moves through the chapters. It is written clearly and very easy to follow. The answers(not the worked out solutions) are avaliable on the company's website. (....)

Really Intriging-action packed drama.
This is my first time in reading J.A. Jance, and I really enjoyed the first book here of the Joanna Brady series. Joanna Brady is happy in Bisbee Arizona, with her husband Andy a cop, and daughter Jennifer. She is waiting anxiously for Andy's return home one night when he is late showing up, and later. Feeling like something is definitely wrong, Joanna goes out to see what she can find. And lo ...

GREAT TEXT! Marciej is an idiot
I highly recommend this book to anyone new at the subject, it is really a very good text. The derivations are not confusing at all, in fact they are some of the easiest to follow. The way the book is written makes a hard subject relatively easy to understand. Converting units is one of the easiest thing in the world, and if the problems you have with this book are because of unit conversions ...

Loved this book!
After reading Slave to Sensation several months ago, I was very pleased to be able to sit down with book 2 of the series, Visions of Heat. I love Nalini Singh's writing style and find that her books are a very quick read for me. All of Nalini's characters are likeable to some degree or other. I really enjoy how she sets up her story arc's and the depth of interaction between Faith and Vaughn ...
