What an awesome book
This book is so awesome and if you are new to the craft or just exploring options, this is a great book to buy. Very imformative, and full of good information. We bought this book as a used book, but as with all of the books we have bought from Amazon.com, it is like new shape. We love Amazon.com because of this fact.

Software Engineering: A Practitioner's Approach 1 review
Roger Pressman
McGraw-Hill Science/Engineering/Math, 2009
Horrible out of date Software Engineering book
This book is like a bloated piece of software. The author wastes so much of the book describing outdated methods and does not even seem to understand current methods. For example, many of the chapters describe procedural programming techniques such as data flow diagrams and then give a brief inaccurate description of modern techniques such as UML. The author also makes a big deal about ...

Trading and Exchanges: Market Microstructure for Practitioners18 reviews
Larry Harris
Oxford University Press, USA, 2002
This is probably the first book anyone even peripherally involved in trading should read
I'm not a trader. I do occasionally look longingly at high frequency trading positions (stat arb, automated trading; whatever you'd like to call it). This is the book that actually answers all those questions any curious person who has ever made a trade might ask. What happens when you make a trade? What is the mechanics of making a trade? How does liquidity work? What happens if your trade is ...

Anatomy of Hatha Yoga: A Manual for Students, Teachers, and Practitioners83 reviews
David H. Coulter
Body and Breath, 2010
Excellent book
I found the book to be very well written and very informative. It describes what parts of the anatomy are involved in different yoga asanas, and describes how poses should be performed to get the maximum physical benefit from the exercise. Some may find it a little too technical, but that was its intent--to be, as its title states, "a manual for students, teachers, and practitioners". It ...

J. William Worden PhD ABPP
Springer Publishing Company, 2008
If you work close to death, you better have it
This is a great book. Very easy to understand. Scientific and human at the same time. If you are a health professional or a social worker or a church minister, you should read it and always have it close.

Assessment and Treatment Activities for Children, Adolescents, and Families: Practitioners Share Their Most ...6 reviews
Liana Lowenstein
Champion Press, 2008
Great resource
I got three of these books by Liana Lowenstein and I find them very valuable in my therapy work with children and adolescents. I am a beginning therapist so I still rely heavily on resources like this to get the creative juices flowing. The only thing that is missing from this book, but present in the others, is a list in front that tells what the intervention is suitable for, suggested age ...

A must have textbook!
I bought this book two months ago and it has been an excellent resource. I am currently taking an advanced course of pharmacology (FNP-S) and after reviewing several other textbooks I decided that this was the best one. If you are working towards an advanced degree in nursing this is a "must have textbook". I strongly recommend it.
The book covers the entire spectrum of prescribing from the ...

Advanced Practice Nursing is a great tool
Advanced Practice Nursing is another required text for graduate school and is full of great information and is highly recommended for those pursuing a graduate degree. You will find all the APN, NP'S CNS, all advanced nursing roles and how those roles have emerged and continue to emerge. Very useful information is presented throughout the text and would recommend,

It provides a clear process by which anyone may engage in action research. It provides points for thinking and examples of each stage of the process.

The Guilford Press, 2005
A must-read for practitioners of cognitive behavioral therapy
This is one of those books that I regret not having when I was beginning with cognitive behavioral therapy. The authors synthesize all the crucial information to help therapists make CBT work. Readers will dramatically increase their comfort, confidence, and outcomes with delivering CBT. I used this book with graduate students I supervised and they loved it!

McGraw-Hill Medical, 2007
Excellent Textbook
This was a purchase for my NP program pharm class. However, it is turning out to be one of the most current and helpful books I have purchased. It goes into detail about trending medications and breaks down the underlying problems and drug mechanisms clearly.
Might seem expensive but it is compatible to three prior books I have purchased all wrapped up into one!

This is a superb book. There are a number of excellent books on motivational interviewing but none that are so clearly directed to helping practitioners develop and practice their motivational interviewing skills.
The book presents clear, concise explanations of the core concepts and skills of motivational interviewing along with exercises to help the reader gain experience by putting the ...

Adult and Family Nurse Practitioner Certification Practice Questions5 reviews
Amelie Hollier
Advanced Practice Education Associates, 2009
Good Book
This is an excellent book to have BEFORE you get out of NP school. This book, along with Fitzgerald's book, and Zerwekh/Claborn are essential to have during school. It will help you study for tests and retain material for later use. I am either going to buy the CDs or go to a live Hollier review. This book is a great investment.

Observing the User Experience: A Practitioner's Guide to User Research11 reviews
Mike Kuniavsky
Morgan Kaufmann, 2003
Must have for user experience professionals!
I'm always recommending this book to my colleagues. This is not a book that is meant to be read cover to cover. It's more of a desk top reference for all kinds of user research techniques. I've found it to be very comprehensive. Buy it, you won't regret it!
