The Art of Manipulating Fabric 31 reviews
Colette Wolff
Chilton Book Company, 1996
Just plain amazing !!
First let me say that I am a simple quiltmaker. But I am a fantastic dreamer! This author has taken all of my dreams and made them come true. I cannot believe the things she does with the most common of fabrics. She sews designs and stuffs them with batting, then creates a wonderful picture with them. She pleats and ruches, too. Welting, cording, smocking, and tucking, are only a few of the ...

Spinal Manipulation Made Simple: A Manual of Soft Tissue Techniques 12 reviews
Jeffrey Maitland
North Atlantic Books, 2001
Excellent! Simple technique instruction, even for this layman
One of the most useful books I have read on body work. I have no formal training in body work, but there is nothing in the book trashing Chiropractic as the reviewer below suggests. Maitland presents a gentler method of manipulating the spine using the soft tissues that hold joints in place (or out of place). The first few chapters cover the basic techinique then the later chapters delve into ...

Very clear book and DVD
Excellent explanations of how to manipulate bones. Very good pictures, very simple directions. I've been looking through hundreds of sources for the demos explained in this book and finally found it here. Especially good for wrist and ankle techniques.

The Art of the Con: Avoiding Offender Manipulation4 reviews
Gary F. Cornelius
American Correctional Association, 2001
Necessary Reading for the corrections officer
There are very few pertinent, to the point publications regarding the cons and games inmates will try to pull off on corrections officers. The veteran officer learns by trial and error, and over the course of years comes to know when a 'con' is being played on him/her. The rookie CO knows it will happen but not the lengths that an inmate will go to to work the con. As a new CO this book ...

Principles of Gene Manipulation and Genomics1 review
Sandy B. Primrose, Richard Twyman
Wiley-Blackwell, 2006
Updated Seventh Edition Published in 2006
This book is written at an advanced undergraduate level, assuming a basic knowledge of molecular biology and genetics but no knowledge of recombinant DNA technology or genomics. At the same time the book is organized in such amanner that a researcher already working in this general field might be able to quickly find an area where they need refreshing or up to date information.
The book ...

Maitland's Peripheral Manipulation 1 review
Elly Hengeveld, Kevin Banks
Butterworth-Heinemann, 2005
This book just doesn't deliver...
I am very disappointed with this book. There are no joint manipulation techniques at all in this book, eventhough it's what the title suggests. The book doesn't even show all the basic examination techniques of the upper and lower extremities, therefore I wouldn't even recommend this book to a beginning physiotherapy student. And if you are a student of manual therapy then don't even bother ...

Data Manipulation with R (Use R)4 reviews
Phil Spector
Springer, 2008
a must for statisticians wanting to learn R
This book along with Jim Albert's should be read by every statistician that does a lot of statistical computing. Both books help you learn R quickly and apply it to many important problems in research both applied and theoretical. Albert emphasizes applications in Bayesian statistics whereas Spector is teaching how to do data manipulation, things like merging and transposing data sets. These ...

Visceral Manipulation II (Revised Edtion)2 reviews
Jean-Pierre Barral
Eastland Pr, 2007
A Compliment to the first
Visceral Manipulation II is a wonderful compliment to the first book. Barrel takes the time to further elaborate on specifics which he quickly went over in the first book. More attention is given to detail and to treatment.

A Mathematical Introduction to Robotic Manipulation 3 reviews
Richard M. Murray, Zexiang Li, ...
CRC, 1994
a branch of applied maths
For decades, physics and engineering undergraduates have used texts on classical mechanics that often contained what some students might consider to be abstruse ideas, with little everyday usage. But this book on robotics is a worthy rejoinder. It can be regarded as an advanced text in classical mechanics.
It shows how mathematical treatments of rigid and non-rigid body rotations and ...

Mind Manipulation: Ancient and Modern Ninja Techniques11 reviews
Haha Lung, Christopher Prowant
Citadel, 2002
An Excellent Manual of Psychology Fundamentals
First and foremost, I will warn that the book Black Science is the same exact book as Mind Manipulation with the exception of a different publisher. I made the mistake of ordering both, and the return fees aren't worth it. Amazon.com might need to take a re-look at their packaging deals . . .
Well, this is a book review, so I'll get into reviewing the book. I personally found that Mind ...

Manipulation of the Spine, Thorax and Pelvis: An Osteopathic Perspective1 review
Peter Gibbons, Philip Tehan
Churchill Livingstone, 2005
Simply the best on the market of its kind!
This book is as good as the current scientific literature allows it to be, and is by far the best on the market of its kind at present!
What is most refreshing about this book is that the authors have not hidden away in the world of anecdote and hearsay, all to often seen in competing texts, and have embraced an approach informed by research evidence (where available) to the teaching of a ...

In Sheep's Clothing: Understanding and Dealing with Manipulative People77 reviews
George K. Simon Jr.
A. J. Christopher & Company, 1996
the title explains it all
This book helps you deal with those people who make you feel bad at saying no. They manipulate you by making you feel like you are the bad guy. Its easier deal with someone who is overtly aggressive than covertly, because you can see their manipulations. That is why I highly recommend this book for everyone!

The Art of Political Manipulation3 reviews
William H. Riker
Yale University Press, 1986
Wonderful work
I read this when I was in high school, I not only found it easy to comprehend (which says alot given the state of education in this country), but narrated quite well. Riker provides both access to the material without requiring a graduate degree, but provides new material to even those with graduate degrees. A must read for those who wish to know how bills really become or don't become laws.

Reality Check!
This book is absolutely fascinating! The historic relations to the content is helpful and provides even more insight throughout the chapters. The book wastes NO time with puffy sentences or grand introductions.... instead the author's every sentence has substance, and you begin to actually learn something right from the beginning. The book is a great tool to completely rebuild yourelf, as well ...
