Anne Rice

Ballantine Books, 1993

Good prices on a good set
Overall you can see and judge for yourself which of the stories work and which don't. In Queen of the Damned (which was a so-so movie by the way), the author moved away from the first person point-of-view (POV) which added a richness to the story to the omniscient POV. She recovers nicely in other stories! Overall a great series if you like vampires. Nice to get them all in one shot!! ...

Market Wizards: Interviews with Top Traders

Jack D. Schwager

Marketplace Books, 2006

Motivating, Exciting, and Insightful
I have traded off and on over the years from futures contracts, options on stocks and futures, and stocks. I have used technical analysis, fundamental, and both. I have been in and out of the market because of losses, gains, losses, and said chuck it, I will buy ETFs and Mutual Funds. But I always come back to the market and tech analysis again. If you have found that you have a real interest ...

Timothy J. Koegel

Greenleaf Book Group Press, 2007

Outstanding
This book is excellent. Having been a presenter for many years I still have a lot to learn. The biggest room in the world is the room for self improvement. This book has filled a large void. I recommend it for anyone presenter or not.

Case in Point:Complete Case Interview Preparation - 5th edition

45 reviews
Marc P. Cosentino

Burgee Press, 2007

Start your case prep here!
I recommend Case in Point for 2 main reasons: It is both practical and thorough. The simulated cases give the novice a sense for the given-and-take of a case interview. And Cosentino's "Ivy Case System" helps non-MBAs to get grounded in the broad classes of issues that companies, and hence consultants, face. My advice: Kick-start your case interview preparation with this guide, and then ...

Where to Start and What to Ask: An Assessment Handbook

Susan Lukas

W. W. Norton & Company, 1993

An excellent, practical, how-to book to prepare social work/psychology students for practicum
These days, in preparation for my internship in the fall, I'm trying to read books that will remind me how to work clinically. This one is excellent, and I deeply wish I had read it in my second or third year of graduate school. I had to learn a lot of this stuff on the job, through floundering and making mistakes, and my field experiences would have been worlds easier if someone had just told ...

The Power of Myth

Joseph Campbell, Bill Moyers

Anchor, 1991

Resonates with the song of the universe deep inside us.
I have lost track of just how many times I have listened to this set of conversations, but they never seem to grow old to me. It might be a year or more between my getting them down from the shelf, but they still completely emgross me. Perhaps that is the best indication that eternal truths are being discussed here. Mr. Campbell recorded these sessions with Bill Moyers during the last two ...

The Ivey Guide to Law School Admissions: Straight Advice on Essays, Resumes, Interviews, and More

Anna Ivey

Harvest Books, 2005

Highly Recommended!
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book! Anna Ivey, former Dean of Admissions at The University of Chicago Law School, provides an insiders guide filled with practical advice for any aspiring law student. It's not too often you will come across a book written by someone from the "other side" of the application process telling you what they are looking for from you when applying to law school. I ...

301 Smart Answers to Tough Interview Questions

38 reviews
Vicky Oliver

Sourcebooks, Inc., 2005

Great help for real-world interviews.
This book is extremely helpful and, I think, unique among books about job interviewing. Most job interviewing guides tell you to straighten your tie, smile and comb your hair before going on an interview. Once you reach a certain point in your career, you really don't need to be told these things. What this book does is it helps you with real-world job interview problems, such as, in my case, how ...

The Medical Interview: Mastering Skills for Clinical Practice (Medical Interview (Coulehan))

5 reviews
John L., M.D. Coulehan, Marian R., M.D. Block

F. A. Davis Company, 2005

Excellent manual for all healthcare provoders
Many clinicians confuse conversation skills (which most people have) with professional communication skills (which most have had little formal training in at all). The cinicians in our practice have found it helpful in becoming more patient-centered in the goals setting process. The payoff being that patients who are more involved in their goal setiing and treatment planning are usually are more ...

My Favorite Culinary Book
As a culinary student and aspiring chef, this book has shown me which flavors and ingredients to combine successfully. Using this book, I developed a glaze that finished in the top 3 of a food competition. Better than any cookbook with recipes.

How to Get Into the Top Consulting Firms: A Surefire Case Interview Method

16 reviews
T. Darling

Intaglio Publishing, 2008

A solid book on "30-minute problem solving"
The obvious comparison to this book is Marc Cosentino's Case In Point, which has been a best-seller in case interview preparation for many years. So perhaps the most obvious place to start a review is to say how this book differs from that. The focus of Darling's book is on problem solving and how to get your hands dirty with a problem for 15 minutes, then to come up again for air and ...

Linda Weintraub

D.A.P./Distributed Art Publishers, Inc., 2003

An excellent tool, one to buy
This book was reccomended by tutors as one of three books to buy at the start of our Fine Art degree course. I sort of chuckled, slightly bemused when I skipped through it for the first time, but I am now in the middle of my second year and I find it more and more useful as time goes on. I now understand more about what goes on in the world of art and in the mind of the artist and what I am now ...

Psychiatric Interviewing: the Art of Understanding A Practical Guide for Psychiatrists, Psychologists, ...

7 reviews
Shawn Christopher Shea

Saunders, 1998

Sleuthing The Ghosts Of Mental Illness
Shawn Christopher Shea does not quite measure up to Irwin Yalom as a poet/philosopher in the realm of psychiatry and mental health. And yet, like Dr. Yalom, the master of group psychotherapy, Dr. Shea is very good in his own published niche, the art and science of psychiatric assessment. Unlike Yalom's specialty, Shea's work contains the elements of life and death. A superficial or faulty ...
