On Killing: The Psychological Cost of Learning to Kill in War and Society 160 reviews
Dave Grossman
Back Bay Books, 1996
Must read for the military or police.
This book, as many have stated, is great for understanding the psychology of someone returning from the battlefield. But for those who have yet to enter the battlefield, or will shortly find themselves returning, I suggest they read On Combat. That book deals much more with the subject of the physiology and psychology of the act of combat itself and how to prepare for it, rather than how to ...

Regie Routman
Heinemann, 2002
Great book club material
I teach 5th grade, and the teachers on our grade level enjoy being involved in a book club. This year, we've selected Reading Essentials as our book of discussion. The book is easy to read and full of ideas to make reading effective in your classroom. If we only had enough time to implement the many wonderful ideas, we'd be in great shape.

Ruby's Falling Leaves (Max and Ruby)8 reviews
Grosset & Dunlap, 2007
a must have rosemarry wells
This is a great Max & Ruby story. It's particularly good for younger readers as it is short. It's somewhere in between the board books of max & ruby and the full-length classics like Bunny Money and Chocolate Chicken. It's perfect for a 2 or 3 yr old.

RESTful Web Services31 reviews
Leonard Richardson, Sam Ruby
O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2007
Must-read for web 2.0 developers
This book is an outstanding exposition of what makes a web service RESTful, as opposed to RPC-based, why RESTful is important, and how achieve RESTful-ness. The exposition is clear and the examples are helpful and to the point. Best of all, it's a gripping read, and how often can you say that about a book on software methodology and architecture?

The Ruby Programming Language15 reviews
David Flanagan, Yukihiro Matsumoto
O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2008
Excellent, but should not be used as a tutorial
This is an excellent reference book on Ruby, if you already know Ruby this book will help you a lot, but if you are looking for a tutorial on Ruby this book should not be your first choice.

Wondrous Words: Writers and Writing in the Elementary Classroom8 reviews
Katie Wood Ray
National Council of Teachers of English, 1999
THE BEST EDUCATIONAL RESOURCE OUT THERE!
As a writer of children's books and a second grade teacher, I refer to this book often - for support, guidance, affirmation, ideas, writing help, and more. It is perfect! I hope to have the opportunity to cross paths with the author one day...I'd love to see her speak! I recommend it all the time to teaching colleagues, friends, writers, and editors.

Classic 30-Minute Meals: The All-Occasion Cookbook36 reviews
Rachael Ray
Lake Isle Press, 2006
Nice book- creepy pictures!
So far this is a really nice cookbook. The recipes are simple, and don't call for too many crazy exotic ingredients. The layout is really handy because the recipes are grouped into menus, so that means I don't have to go crazy trying figure out what side dishes to serve alongside the main courses. What bugs me, and counts for the lower than five star rating, are all the creepy pictures of ...

Mastering Regular Expressions123 reviews
Jeffrey Friedl
O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2006
Best material I have seen on regular expressions
I went through several books and online tutorials and never found anything that did a good comprehensive job of explaining regular expressions. This book does. If you are having trouble "getting it", I highly encourage reading this book. You will be extremely enlightened even after the first few chapters.

Bunny Cakes (Max and Ruby)23 reviews
Puffin, 2000
Red Hot Marshmallow Squirters?
I love Max and Ruby, way before they were on TV. "Bunny Cakes" is one of my favorites. Rosemary Wells uses such simplistic words and phrases yet they are eloquently written.
Ruby's making Grandma a birthday cake and Max decides to make one, too...from dirt and worms. But his cake is missing something: Red Hot Marshmallow Squirters.
See how Max finally gets them and then wonder: Which cake will ...

Investigating Chemistry: A Forensic Science Perspective1 review
Matthew Johll
W. H. Freeman, 2006
From a chemistry newbie
This book was purchased for a college class in beginning chemistry and is far from the standard dry science text.
The author gives clear detail about chemistry with interwoven bits of forensic science to give body to the dryer chemistry information. I've found I can remember the chemistry better by remembering a comparison to soil samples or whatever else the author uses as an example. While ...
