Who Moved My Cheese? An Amazing Way to Deal with Change in Your Work and in Your Life 1450 reviews
Spencer Johnson
G. P. Putnam's Sons, 1998
The parable as a blank canvas
Who Moved My Cheese is a classic that uses a story without the burden of extra detail to force you to put your own life into the situation, and learn from it. It's true that this method isn't for everyone, but the book is popular for a reason: it helps people.
Who Moved My Cheese has that special something that most fables lack. It makes you think. The only other fable I've seen accomplish ...

A Pocket Style Manual 27 reviews
Diana Hacker
Bedford/St. Martin's, 2008
Great Tool for Your Writing
I am excited to use the MLA tools in this pocket guide for writing my college papers. There is so much in this little book, and was worth ever cent of my purchase. There are lots of little things that students forget like noun/verb agreement, and possession. It is very helpful, and every student should have this!

Wild Card 11 reviews
Lora Leigh
St. Martin's Paperbacks, 2008
One of her best ever
Too many times Lora Leigh's books are filled with too much sex and not enougth plot. Or I end up hating the heroine and the male is too domineering. This time everything was perfect I was even surprised about the villians. Don't miss this one. If you're looking for a great love story, a great family story, laughter and good triumphing over evil (and you want to lose the last 15 pounds and look 10 ...

Acheron (Dark-Hunter, Book 12)250 reviews
Sherrilyn Kenyon
St. Martin's Press, 2008
My Favorite Dark-Hunter Book Thus Far
Who hasn't loved Acheron from the very beginning and wondered what is going on with him? In this book, Kenyon answers all of our Acheron questions and then some. This book could have easily been published as two separate books (she divides it into Books) the first telling of Acheron's past and the second being the funny, sexy, Dark-Hunter romp we're used to. After having read Acheron's past, it's ...

Molecular Biology of the Cell62 reviews
Bruce Alberts, Alexander Johnson, ...
Garland Science, 2007
Best Molecular Biology textbook ever
This is a big book dealing with molecular biology in considerable detail. It is organised in 24 chapters subdivided in small paragraphs each one dealing with a particular problem in molecular biology. The book covers the basics first and then deals with more specific matters like immunology, cancer, development, etc all seen from the molecular biologist point of view. Although the approach is ...

Great Book
This book is way more informative than my professor. Also, since introductory biology doesn't change within a couple of years, I'm really glad I saved money and purchased the seventh edition rather than the eighth.

Clear A Spot On Your Bookshelf!
As a corporate director of human resources, the bulk of my day-to-day existence is convincing people - whether subordinate or superior - to do what I believe is best for the organization. I have just finished the new book, "Yes!" Three things in this great book stand out for me.
1. Real world case studies in the actual business arenas.
2. Contains a wealth of techniques that are easily ...

The Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2 Book: The Complete Guide for Photographers6 reviews
Martin Evening
Adobe Press, 2008
One of the best books I have seen on digital photography editing
I have a common complaint about most Photoshop and Lightroom books: they all go over the same basic information. Information that I have already learned by myself simply by experimenting with the software. How many times can people write the same basic-to-intermediate information on how to organize files, set white balance, adjust contrast, etc.? I am already an intermediate Photoshop and ...

The Bedford Handbook17 reviews
Diana Hacker
Bedford/St. Martin's, 2005
Hacker lite, but not light enough
Diana Hacker has an English comp book for any possible usage, she grinds them out every few years. My college requires me to use this book as a handbook. That is unfortunate.
Of course, this book provides a basic explanation of English composition, grammar, documentation, and document design and critical reading. However, the attempt in this case is to present something that is lighter than ...

PAGE BURNER
After I read Pillars, I thought to myself, "no I want more," and then I found out, "hey there was more." I think this one might even surpass pillars in the emotional connections the reader makes with the characters. I finished this one in 3 days, KEN FOLLETT GIVE ME MORE!!!!!!!

Stephen Coonts' Assassin
Another great suspensful action packed novel from author Stephen Coonts. Could barely put it down. Was pleased to read that Admiral Jake Grafton returned and was featured in this book. Really missed him in Stephen's recent works. Am looking forward to his next novel.

lots of models from "adequate" to "very good"
I am a teacher of writing at middle school. I use this text book myself to pull-out parts of the included essays as models for my students. The organization and information about how writers think and go through the writing proccess is very helpful to students who think they cannot write ot hate writing. (There is not ONE WAY to go through the writing process, despite what most of our teacher ...
