Wake Up, I'm Fat!122 reviews
Camryn Manheim
Broadway, 1999
Great book, but she seems to have altered her opinion about fat and health
I love Camryn Mannheim and her book. I'd give this a 4.5 if I could, because since she wrote the book, she's lost quite a bit of weight and puts the reasoning for it on being a mother.
I hated it when Carnie Wilson went from being a NAAFA member and spokesperson for loving yourself at any size to being obsessed with being thin. She's admitted to lying about why she had WLS and has made a ...

Effective Java: Programming Language Guide (Java Series)122 reviews
Joshua Bloch
Addison-Wesley, 2001
This Book is a Daily Guide for the Java Developer
I purchased this book last week from Amazon.com and already I am hooked to it.The style is not pedantic but thorough. Lots of tips for the everyday Java programmer from Josh (who wrote the Collections framework in Java).
Typically I skim over the chapter for Josh's tidbits of wisdom. I often leave the Mathematical rigor for later reading.
This book is NOT FOR IVORY TOWER ARCHITECTS!. Only ...

David Buchholz
Workman Publishing Company, 2002
BEST MIGRAINE ADVISE EVER!! Heal your migraine 123
I have been suffering with migraines daily since I was 13 years old and am now 49. I tried every possible solution from holistic to traditional medicines without leaving one leaf unturned. Nothing truly helped me and I was left frustrated and suffering with so much pain that it was unbearable. My quality of life was horrible and no matter how many Doctors or specialists I went to, not one, seemed ...

The Watcher's Guide, Volume 1 (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)108 reviews
Christopher Golden, Nancy Holder
Gallery, 1998
Not the best, but a must have for any avid fan
This isnt the best book if you're looking for a behind the scenes one. But it is great when it comes to quotes. Behind the Scenes is more in the 2nd volume. This has an excellent array of quotes from seasons 1 and 2(which is what this book covers). It also has pretty good episode reviews, with some deleted scenes usually showing up along with some unknown facts. But it also has some information ...

Black Holes and Time Warps: Einstein's Outrageous Legacy (Commonwealth Fund Book Program)89 reviews
Kip S. Thorne
W W Norton & Co Inc, 1994
A deeply human and riveting account of how physics predicted and described one of the universe's deepest secrets.
I thought I was pretty much done with the theory of black holes. I have read dozens of articles and books on the subject - so I wasn't expecting much extra from Kip Thorne's "Black Holes & Time Warps". But this book blew me away with its deep theoretical detail; human insight; and rich historical content. Thorne doesn't just want to tell you about the weird mindblowing theories of what black ...

Star Trek, 1999
Mr. Okuda !!..please update the info at Warp Speeeeed!!!!!!!!!!!!
There is an ambiguos feeling buying this encyclopedia...you get amused considering all the gathering info and the format in which it is displayed, but there's also a feeling that living to date, in 2009 (one year before Arthur C Clarke's 2010 !) the value of the mentioned info is, unfortunately, outdated !!.
So, if you love Trek and can live with the above explained introduction..go ...

Best concurrency book
This is definitely the best concurrency book for Java out there. It gives you pretty much all the concepts you ever need to know about concurrency in general. From basic concurrency principles to concurrency issues that would arise in almost all concurrent programs, and finally to some optimization techniques. It also provides some in-sights on some of the Java concurrent utility classes provided ...

Discovering Statistics Using SPSS (Introducing Statistical Methods S.) (2nd Edition)81 reviews
Andy Field
Sage Publications Ltd, 2005
Outstanding Book
I've now endured one of the most miserable courses I've ever taken - a course on statistics. That course was consistent with what one might expect to exemplify typical stats courses everywhere - dry, boring, and no regard whatsoever for those who really want to know about the subject but have limited backgrounds. The primary text we used for that course was literally one of the worst I've ever ...

Pocket, 2001
Thank you Dr., this changed my life
Quite simply this book has dramatically changed my life for the better. I thought I knew it all so it took me 15 years to actually buy a book about back pain.
There is lots and lots of very helpful advice. The things that made the most difference for me were Deep Relaxation, jogging to get glute muscles, and proper hamstring stretching.
My back is better than it has been in years ...
