Joomla! A User's Guide: Building a Successful Joomla! Powered Website 27 reviews
Barrie M. North
Prentice Hall PTR, 2007
Very good beginner book
I think some people who have bought this book are disapointed because they were expecting a massively indepth review of Joomla's features, but that's not the goal of this book. Instead, this book's goal is to take the static website designer into the realm of CMS design using Joomla! It will give you a very good description of how Joomla! operates and how you use the system to create websites to ...

Practical Research: Planning and Design
A great book for a graduate student like me. It helps you how to pick a topic, have some questions concerning a topic, and make them into a research that is in your words. It is an excellent book for a beginning researcher, guiding him or her step by step, through the entire research process with practical suggestions. It is a great book if you want to have a quality research in any discipline. ...

Understanding by Design, Expanded 2nd Edition 25 reviews
Grant Wiggins, Jay McTighe
Prentice Hall, 2005
Good info, a little redundant
I used this book as part of a graduate level class. The book is quite informative and gives great ideas on how to teach for results instead of just covering necessary material. Basically, it tells teachers to start with goals, then work backward to the introduction and teaching of the material. There are other similar strategies out there, but this is very specific as to curriculum design. It ...

Words Their Way: Word Study for Phonics, Vocabulary, and Spelling Instruction (4th Edition) (Words Their Way ... 35 reviews
Donald R. Bear, Marcia Invernizzi, ...
Prentice Hall, 2007
Very useful for homeschoolers too...
My children attended a public school where this program was used. When I brought them home due to their various LDs/allergies, I balked at the $40 price tag of this book and opted for the less expensive Spectrum Spelling books for their grade level. I found those to be rather annoying because often my children already knew the words. And the ones they didn't know, they would spell correctly on ...

Technical Analysis of the Financial Markets: A Comprehensive Guide to Trading Methods and Applications (New ...92 reviews
John J. Murphy
Prentice Hall Press, 1999
"The" Book on Technical Analysis
After reading a number of books on the subject, the presentation of information in this book appears to be the most comprehensive and well explained. This is the one technical analysis 'encyclopedia' to refer to. (One negative comment - I'll have to agree with another reviewer that the creaky binding does not suit the high quality of the book's contents.)
With both Burton Malkiel's A Random ...

Effective Java (2nd Edition) (The Java Series)4 reviews
Joshua Bloch
Prentice Hall PTR, 2008
A powerful update to an already-classic title
Please see my review of the first edition for my general response. My opinion hasn't changed with the second, so I'll focus on what's new in this review.
The second edition was well worth the wait. The number of items are beefed up to 78 from 57. The chapter "Substitutes for C Constructs" is gone, but replaced by more contemporary material on "Generics" and "Enums and Annotations." Some first ...

Lorrie R. Gay, Geoff Mills, ...
Prentice Hall, 2008
Easy Reading Research
Learning how to decipher the technical jargon surrounding research is never easy. This book makes it easy. Along with thorough explanations and an abundance of examples, there is a bit of humor tossed in. The humor helps break up the intense explanations. There are also many charts and graphs that help synthesize the information into an easy learning format. I would recommend this book for anyone ...

Seven Habits of Highly Effective People783 reviews
Covey
Prentice Hall, 1993
Give direction to you life
I have had this book on my reading list for a while. This books has been a valuable catalyst in my personal development. On one hand there is very little that is shocking. As the author freely admits, he does not consider the principles that these habits embody to be his, but universal. While I think most people will find an innate understanding of each of these habits, Stephen Covey is blessed ...

Jerry Weissman
Prentice Hall, 2006
After 1 year, this book is already in its 7th printing!
My boss gave me this book as I had to prepare a PowerPoint presentation for a major client. I thought "oh great, just what I need, another book telling me how to make PowerPoints. Whatever!"
So I started paging through the book and decided maybe that this is a little different after all. And next thing I knew, I went through the first two chapters devouring every word!
Conclusion? This ...

Concise with current views on life development psychology.
I used this book in our Life Development Psychology. In the course of my study, everything I needed to know is in the book. Feldman is very thorough and organized. I have read other books on this subject in our library but by far this is a superior book. This book deserves 5 stars.

Forty Studies that Changed Psychology: Explorations into the History of Psychological Research (6th Edition)13 reviews
Roger R. Hock
Prentice Hall, 2008
textbooks can be good
I really wasn't looking forward to yet another psychology text, but this one is actually enjoyable. The author has managed to pare down each study to the essentials and doesn't waste a ton of space trying to entertain the reader. I would recommend it for anyone interested in how the mind works, and the information that has made our understanding greater.

J.D., Richard Montauk
Prentice Hall Press, 2007
Great book, but nothing new from previous editions
Needless to say, this book is now the Bible of MBA applications.
What works:
1. Lots of advice, starting from the basics.
2. Tons of feedback from Admissions Committee Members
3. Essay samples
What doesnt:
1. Essay samples are limited to people who were leaders, consultants, etc etc. I dont believe these form the majority, Instead, I think the majority applicants are engineers, ...
