Root Cellaring: Natural Cold Storage of Fruits & Vegetables23 reviews
Mike Bubel, Nancy Bubel

Storey Publishing, LLC, 1991

I'm inspired
Well researched and considered. Thorough, yet practical and attainable. I appreciated learning about all the different types of root cellars and how to build them. Previous to reading this book, a root cellar to me was and expensive underground project with stairs and cement walls and electricity. Until I can afford that we can inexpensively create/build/dig the other options. 		  
  







  
  
Just Who Will You Be?: Big Question. Little Book. Answer Within. (ROUGHCUT)42 reviews
Maria Shriver

Hyperion, 2008

Great book!
I really loved this book. Maria Shriver is a real person and she shines through with total understanding and the "awareness factor" of what real life is. Just because one has fame and fortune does not a happy person make. I'm not saying she is unhappy. Anything but. She simply points out that we all have the power of choice and she has figured that out. She also writes at any level, very easy to ... 		  
  







  
  
Crisis Preparedness Handbook: A Complete Guide to Home Storage and Physical Survival44 reviews
Jack A. Spigarelli

Cross-Current Pub., 2002

Be prepared!
Are you ready for a major crisis? Most people are not. They have no more than a few days supply of food and no idea what to do in the event of a real long term emergency. After all, you can just run down to the local grocery and get whatever you want, 24 hours a day, right? Hurricanes, earthquakes, blizzards and other natural disasters happen everywhere in the world and they are ... 		  
  







  
  
Patriots: Surviving the Coming Collapse: A Novel of the Turbulent Near Future (Expanded and Updated 33 ...155 reviews
James Wesley Rawles

Xlibris Corporation, 2006

I couldn't put it down!
A very good read, especially for those of a survival type mind set, though that is not necessary to enjoy this book. I couldn't put it down...which meant a sleepless night! Some passages are a little disturbing, as they delve into a darker side of human nature, but that is necessary in a book of this nature. It is very detailed, and though fiction, gives good ideas/advice for those of a ... 		  
  







  
  
Water Storage: Tanks, Cisterns, Aquifers, and Ponds for Domestic Supply, Fire and Emergency Use--Includes How ...13 reviews
Art Ludwig

Oasis Design, 2005

Water - more important than oil
Wow! This book has a ton of usefull, usable information packed into such a thin booklet! No wasted space, which makes me feel that I've not wasted my money on this book! If you are serious about helping to save this planet, or even just surviving the next tragedy that may befall upon us: Get. This. Book. Can I just say again: WOW! 		  
  







  
  
Houseworks: Cut the Clutter, Speed Your Cleaning and Calm the Chaos30 reviews
Cynthia Townley Ewer

DK ADULT, 2006

Very Useful for All Types of Houskeepers
After I saw a previous review claiming this book is only for people whose houses are brimming with clutter, I almost did not purchase it. My house is not brimming with clutter and it is generally fairly clean. I have found this book extremely useful, despite the fact that I am a competent housekeeper. I can also see that this book would be a lifesaver for people who are drowning in clutter and ... 		  
  







  
  
Information Architecture for the World Wide Web: Designing Large-Scale Web Sites40 reviews
Louis Rosenfeld, Peter Morville

O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2006

A lifesaver
As project manager, I was in a bind when our contract information architect failed to understand the complexities of our matrixed business model and client base. Rosenfeld's book helped me design a IA for our 700 page HTML site that has since been described as simple, intuitive, a no-brainer. What great compliments! The book describes basic theories of IA in general (i.e. book indexes ... 		  
  







  
  
It's All Too Much: An Easy Plan for Living a Richer Life with Less Stuff102 reviews
Peter Walsh

Free Press, 2007

Organized and Creative
This book seems different than most Organization books, it has many creative and quick ideas for keeping an organized home. What I liked best about it though, is Peter Walsh's no-nonsense approach to organization. The author makes it so anyone can easily become organized and let go of material things. His "FAST" approach is easy for anyone to handle, and the letters from prior clients show ... 		  
  







  
  
Search Engine Optimization: An Hour a Day47 reviews
Jennifer Grappone, Gradiva Couzin

Sybex, 2008

For me those tips worked well
There is a lot of proud guys entered the 1 star to this book - DO NOT be mis leaded please, when you are choosing a SEO book. Right on, there is probably a lot of water inside, and I also do not like the spreadsheets what authors are suggesting to download and fill all the way - but hey - the information what they suggest enter on them - are useful, and worked for me. I started use the tips they ...

Advanced Web Metrics with Google Analytics7 reviews
Brian Clifton

Sybex, 2008

Highly Recommended
I've been running Google Analytics on a number of web sites since it was first released in 2005. I've got a lot of good information out of it, but I've always suspected that I'm not using it to its full potential. Having read this book I now have a much better idea of what I'm missing and, more importantly, how I can put that right. Brian Clifton has written a really useful guide to getting ... 		  
  







  
  
Data Mining: Practical Machine Learning Tools and Techniques, Second Edition (Morgan Kaufmann Series in Data ...24 reviews
Ian H. Witten, Eibe Frank

Morgan Kaufmann, 2005

Thorough, well-written, and crystal-clear explanations.
Highly recommend this book for a practical introduction to the theory and applications of Machine Learning. Great book if you are looking to ACTUALLY implement some machine learning systems, prefer to learn via diagrams, a "how-stuff-works"-style explanation, and skip much of the equations and heavy math that fills similar books. Obviously, this book is a perfect companion to the Weka ... 		  
  







  
  
Programming Amazon Web Services: S3, EC2, SQS, FPS, and SimpleDB (Programming)5 reviews
James Murty

O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2008

A good overview
This is a good overview of the suite of services that comprise Amazon Web Services (AWS), I'd have given it a 3.5 star rating if I could. It talks about all of them, but it spends the bulk of its time, very reasonably, discussing S3 (the persistent storage system) and EC2 (the compute cloud - basically Amazon's Rackspace in the clouds) - each getting about 100 pages devoted to it. As others ... 		  
  







  
  
Eliminate Chaos: The 10-Step Process to Organize Your Home and Life15 reviews
Laura Leist

Sasquatch Books, 2006

A Very Helpful, User Friendly Book!
I purchased this book after having the chance to attend an organizing workshop with the author Laura Leist. I had (too many) other books about organizing and clutter that were adding to the chaos in my house, but I decided to give one more book a chance. I'm glad I did! The 10-step plan in this book is simple yet comprehensive enough to really address the problems and challenges I face on a ...

Disaster Preparedness Books
If you're like I was, you're looking through the various disaster preparedness books wondering which one is best. I have worked my way through 7 of the most popular books and offer a shared review of all of them here. I hope this comparison helps you make a decision. Book 1: Crisis Preparedness by Jack A.

Emergency Food Storage & Survival Handbook: Everything You Need to Know to Keep Your Family Safe in a Crisis9 reviews
Peggy Layton

Three Rivers Press, 2002

Book does exactly what the title says.
Just like the title says the book is full of hints to store food for a crisis. There are a number of excellent hints such as storing food that you would normally eat and turning over your stored food through your regular eating habits. The book also mentions having emergency clothing, food and water packed and ready to go because when a crisis occurs there will likely be no time to pack up ... 		  
  







  
  
Bless Me, Ultima193 reviews
Rudolfo Anaya

Grand Central Publishing, 1994

Bless You Anaya
In this beautifully written coming of age tale, Anaya delivers part of the Mexican/American experience in this charming book. The loss of innocence in the story refers to a religious quandry for Toni, a six year old boy. Should he adopt his mother's culture and become a priest or should he become like his father's family, the Marezes, and wander the plains as a cowboy? Should he accept the ... 		  
  







  
  
Search Engine Optimization: Your visual blueprintfor effective Internet marketing (Visual Blueprint)7 reviews
Kristopher B. Jones

Visual, 2008

More Content than you would Expect from the Title of the Book
The book was written by Kristopher B. Jones, CEO of PepperJam. Kris is well known in the industry and considered an authority not only in the search marketing community, but among Internet marketers is general, including affiliate marketers and people in display advertising. I think the title of the book was not well chosen, because it is not only about organic search engine optimization, but ...
