Smart Women Finish Rich Interactive 138 reviews
David L. Bach
KnowledgeBuilder.com, 1999
His Grandmother Taught Him Well!
Smart Women Finish Rich is a bit different from other financial books I've read. I have to admit I was surprised with how well David Bach addressed both the emotional and intellectual relationship women have with money. His grandmother taught him well.
I am going to say that Smart Women Finish Rich is more for a financial beginner than a woman with financial savvy. It's a well thought out ...

Cracking the CBEST, 2nd Edition (College Test Prep)64 reviews
Rick Sliter
Princeton Review, 2002
Great CBEST prep book
This book completely prepared me for the CBEST. The tips on how to tackle the questions were right on the mark. If you do the essay's how they tell you to do them, you will pass the first time! I did exactly what they said and followed the book to a "t". Worked like a charm. I hope they offer cset books but I don't see any right now.

The C++ Standard Library: A Tutorial and Reference90 reviews
Nicolai M. Josuttis
Addison-Wesley Professional, 1999
C++ Programmers: Don't try to live without this book
This is far and away one of the best written programming and reference books I have purchased in 20+ yrs of programming.
It gives a perspective on state-of-the-art C++ style, language constructs, and technique that only a choice few people in the industry can offer. The book has all of the meticulous attention to detail and design formalities that one could expect of the finest academic.

Effective C++: 50 Specific Ways to Improve Your Programs and Design (2nd Edition) (Addison-Wesley ...131 reviews
Scott Meyers
Addison-Wesley Professional, 1997
Must have for any C++ Programmer
This is a great book which covers a lot of useful topics for every C++ professional. I have been programming in C++ for a while so some of the topics Scott Mayers discussed were already familiar but I still picked up a lot from this book. From a beginner to intermediate programmer, this is a must have. Advanced programmers probably have this book already (or its previous editions). Otherwise, ...

David Hooper
Kathode Ray Music, 2005
Awesome!
I just got my copy of this CD and I listened to it immediatly. David Hooper, gives lots of great ideas for being successful in music and any business, or life. Some of the things he talked about re-affirmed what I had been doing, but he gave enough 'new' ideas to really kick my music career to the next level!

When Pride Still Mattered140 reviews
Simon & Schuster, 2004
A very engrossing read
I picked up this book after hearing a strong recommendation. I knew next to nothing about Vince Lombardi, other than that he was an excellent football coach. Very glad I bought the book as this was a particularly engrossing biography.
The author was very thorough in his research and traces Lombardi's life in detail for his full nearly 60 years. He provides a lot of detail on Lombardi's ...

Great book - a must read!!
The book is easy to read and understand. It is a must read for country leaders and business entrepreneurs. How much could be advanced if some of Mr. Koch's advice would be applied in Chile and the world.

Expert One on One Oracle77 reviews
Thomas Kyte
Peer Information Inc., 2001
Best $12 I ever spent!!!
I bought this book on cheap clearance after the original publisher went out of business -- the best $12 I ever invested. Remembering even 10% of this book makes you better than 90% of Oracle developers, modelers and architects. Mr. Kyte's real world experience and reliance on solid examples instead of folklore makes this light-years ahead of any other Oracle book; it's the only Oracle book I ...

Martha Raddatz
Tantor Media, 2007
Will make you feel like you are there!
This was an excellent book. Well written and really made you know the soldiers involved and placed you in the action. It really made it personal. I was expecting the author to point fingers at the rediculous methods employed by the US commanders, but the author just tells the story and lets the reader come up with his or her own opinion. I am in the middle of reading another book about Iraq, ...

I had just moved out of a career in the corporate arena (in banking, where I saw these types of transactions from the other side) and was looking to pursue other options for myself. I had ...

Stick and Rudder: An Explanation of the Art of Flying62 reviews
Wolfgang Langewiesche
McGraw-Hill Professional, 1990
Beyond Informative!
To begin, the entire Amazon experience was great. The product itself was the icing on the cake. Any aspiring pilots, or veterans, should consider this a "must read" publication. It clarifies many misled bits of advice, about flight, and makes knowledge of aircraft easily understood.

I Am Persuaded!
I have not met Dave Lakhani, but after reading this book and his earlier one - Power of An Hour: Business and Life Mastery in One Hour A Week - he is evidently a very clear thinking and pragmatic individual.
I have read a great many books on influencing and persuading, and this is one of the very best.
A survivor of a cult, Dave is well equipped to understand what can happen when people ...

The best way to understand the world of IGPs
If any book was ever considered as the MUST HAVE BIBLE for Interior Routing Protocols - then Jeff Doyle's first effort on IGPs is THE book (how many cliché's do you want in one sentence)!! The book goes through at a very even pace - dissecting and describing the majority of both open-standard IGPs (OSPF, RIP and a little on ISIS) and Cisco-proprietary IGPs (IGRP and it's beefier brother - ...

HarperAudio, 1999
"Druker thougths will live on for many decades to come".
Management new paradigms, strategy, the change leader, information challenges, knowledge worker productivity, managing oneself, Druker proved himself more than capable in his definitions and unique challenge to managers. Rather of a retrospective of his past work "he set aside to wirte not the known past but the unknown future".
Peter Drucker discusses the profound social and economic changes ...

Addison-Wesley Professional, 1998
Nothing can describe Java classes better
I strongly recommend this book to all Java users of all levels because no other book describes all classes of java.lang, java.io, java.net, java.util, java.text and java.math packages better. Every class, every method and every exception is explained by very understandable language with good and useful examples. There is no Java language problem you cannot solve with this book.
