Color Drawing: Design Drawing Skills and Techniques for Architects, Landscape Architects, and Interior ... 20 reviews
Michael E. Doyle
John Wiley & Sons, 1999
Outstanding Resource
This is the standard for rendering in architecture and interior design as far as I am concerned. It will most definitely become a required textbook for my classes in visual presentation in the years to come. Doyle takes you step-by-step into the process of rendering with marker, color pencil, and pastels. But he doesn't just spoon feed you the recipe for each material rendering, he presents ...

Fundamentals of Molecular Virology2 reviews
Nicholas H. Acheson
John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2006
A Fantastic Introduction to Virology
Fundamentals of Molecular Virology is by far one of the most readable scientific textbooks I have ever come across. The focus is on common characteristics of virus families rather than on individuals. For example, rather than having a chapter just covering the rabies virus this book has a chapter on the Rhabdovirus family and covers the mechanisms that each of the commonly studied rhabdoviruses ...

Great Text Book
Great book. Get the study Guide too, it's a big help. Also, the publishers website has quizzes you can take for each chapter. Both helped me a lot when it came to test time.

Quick Calculus: A Self-Teaching Guide, 2nd Edition 12 reviews
Daniel Kleppner, Norman Ramsey
John Wiley & Sons, 1985
A quick fix for mathphobes
I used the 1st edition of this book to prepare myself to take courses in chemical thermodynamics, kinetics and electrochemistry in 1979 after I began my Ph.D. program in Geology at Michigan State University. I had taken one college course in calculus eight years prior and did not perform well. The book is well named, I was "quickly" up to a level where I had no problem with the math in physical ...

McGuffey's Eclectic Readers/Boxed24 reviews
William Holmes McGuffey
John Wiley & Sons, 1989
Teach Your Kids to Read Early
With all the reviews here, there isn't a need for another one lauding this series of readers. Our experience might prove helpful to some. Our oldest daughter completed reading the McGuffey Primer when she was three years and eight months old. She finished reading the First Eclectic Reader a couple of weeks before she turned four! [From there on she read at will and we didn't keep track of ...

Repase y escriba: Curso avanzado de gramática y composición (Quinta Edicion) 3 reviews
Maria Canteli Dominicis, John J. Reynolds
John Wiley & Sons, 2006
Excellent advanced text for serious students of Spanish
I used an earlier edition of this book as part of an advanced, private tutorial in writing and grammar, and still refer to it for subtle questions of grammar and uses of idioms. It is the best, single text for an advanced student of Spanish as a second language that I, as an adult learner, have run across.
The book itself has excellent questions and exercises, and the supplementary workbook ...

Implementing Six Sigma, Second Edition: Smarter Solutions Using Statistical Methods65 reviews
Forrest W. Breyfogle
John Wiley & Sons, 2003
6 sigma explained
Six sigma is faddish and overhyped. However the use of six sigma ideas along with many other useful statistical methods for development of high quality products has had a positive influence on many manufacturing systems in the US and elsewhere. This falls under the umbrella of Total Quality Management which is a system that encourage engineers to learn and impliment statistical quality ocntrol ...

The Structure of Materials (MIT Series in Materials Science and Engineering)1 review
Samuel M. Allen, Edwin L. Thomas
John Wiley & Sons, 1999
The Structure of Materials (MIT Series in MSE)
I had an opportunity to use this text book in one of my classes and found the material within the book confusing for the most part. There are NOT many examples worked out following the explanations of complex equations and their applications -- I feel this leads to a rather limited understanding of important concepts. I recommend looking elsewhere for a crystallography book if you have an ...

The Merck Manual of Diagnosis and Therapy, 17th Edition (Centennial Edition)78 reviews
John Wiley & Sons, 1999
Best Book in the entire medical field
This is probably a redundant review since all the reviews are 5* reviews, but I'll give you my perspective. This is the third copy of this book I own, the other two being previous editions. If I could own only one medical book, this would be it. While it has grown ~ 500 pages since the last edition I own, it's all good. Every topic is covered both succinctly and authoritatively and kept up to ...

Great book for anyone taking college anatomy and Physiology
My study group and I used this book for our college anatomy and physiology classes. We found that the text was quite easy to comprehend and the pictures of muscles was very clear and precise. We also used the following 3 books when we were preparing for our midterm and final exams. Anatomy and Physiology Study Guide: Key Review Questions and Answers with Explanations Volume 1 (ISBN; ...

Goode's World Atlas to Accompany Geography Titles, 20th edition1 review
de Blij
John Wiley and Sons, 2001
Necessary for any library
This is one of my favorite books. I initially purchased it as the required text for an undergraduate course about world agricultural systems. I have since used it as a reference book to teach middle school science. This atlas is packed with information, and while some statistics may no longer reflect current data (published 2000) the maps are still very good. I love this book!

Basic Engineering Circuit Analysis 14 reviews
J. David Irwin, R. Mark Nelms
John Wiley & Sons, 2004
Excelent for anyone studying the basics of circuit analysis
Like the title itself says, this is an introductory book on Circuit Analysis. In the first year of my engineering graduation, I used this book for the subject of Basic Circuit Analysis and found it to be extremely helpful. I think I can even say that this book made my life a lot easier, since the author - J. David Irwin - did a very good job on explaining concepts and circuit analysis basic ...
