Story: Substance, Structure, Style and The Principles of Screenwriting

174 reviews
Robert Mckee

HarperEntertainment, 1997

Essential reading for any writer
I've read a lot of fiction help books, but most of them are geared at the mechanics and tricks of fiction. None of them, in my opinion, philosophically tackles the concept of story telling and how stories work. Instead, they give tips and techniques like "put in rising conflict" or "make your characters likeable" In STORY, Rob McKee tells us, from a conceptual, historical & technical view, what ...

The Structure of Scientific Revolutions

117 reviews
Thomas S. Kuhn

University Of Chicago Press, 1996

Not Just for Those Interested in Science
Essential reading in understanding why the Enlightenment ideal of rationality is dead or at least doesn't count in ways that matter. In particular, Kuhn calls into question the idea of science as a rational enterprise, and since science is epistemologically privileged and thought to be the essence of rationality, to call into question the rationality of science is to call into question ...

Real Change: From the World That Fails to the World That Works

77 reviews
Newt Gingrich

Regnery Publishing, 2008

Evaluating Real Change
Gringrich cites American's responses to polls on topics that are very important such as health care, how to handle terrorism, taxes, competitiveness, etc. The results of the poll show a preponderance of Americans believe in common sense solutions yet our elected representatives cannot agree on anything. He identifies a series of solutions that address these important topics and shows how the ...

A fellow grammar girl's review
As an editor and author of my own grammar book, I always enjoy reading a colleague's book on grammar and usage. Grammar Girl has quickly become the go-to grammar expert and this book is a perfect reference guide that covers all the grammar basics written in an easy to understand format. Any writer wanting to brush up on those pesky grammar rules, will find it easy to find the answers in this ...

Liberal Fascism: The Secret History of the American Left, From Mussolini to the Politics of Meaning

315 reviews
Jonah Goldberg

Doubleday, 2008

Great Book As Evidenced by Liberal Reviews & Placement
Plainly this book has been out for quite some time but until it showed up on audio I didn't even know it existed. Why? Because it was well hidden by the major book stores that typically hide anything conservative on the bottom shelf of some sociology section in the back of the store. If this were a fascist-liberal tome like Al Frankens "Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot", there would have been ...

Plot & Structure: (Techniques And Exercises For Crafting A Plot That Grips Readers From Start To Finish) ...

68 reviews
James Scott Bell

Writers Digest Books, 2004

Great read for all writers!
This little gem cuts through all the noise and gets right down to analyzing the mechanics of good stories. It's full of wonderfully simple observations and immediately applicable guidelines, the kind that are obvious in retrospect but that I never noticed before. The author's not out to cramp anyone's style, either - he recognizes that writers generate material in all kinds of different ways. ...

McGraw-Hill, 2008

Disrupting Class is a must read
Disrupting Class is a must read for educators, politicians, or anyone else who is interested in the field of education. The book provides a summary of Clayton Christensen's work on disruptive technology described in the earlier book the Innovators Dilemma. Horn, Johnson, and Christensen do an outstanding job of applying the theory of disruptive technology to the world of education. The book ...

Organic Chemistry: Structure and Function

3 reviews
K. Peter C. Vollhardt, Neil E. Schore

W. H. Freeman, 2005

The Best O-Chem Book!
Even if you do not attend any O. Chem class, you can study this book and learn a lot. I took Organic Chemistry at University last year and we used a different book for that class. O. Chem by Vollhardt provides some more materials than needed for the first and second year of O. Chem class, but it helps you to have a better understanding about the subject.

Glenn Beck

Threshold Editions, 2007

Excellent!!!
I found this book to be both informative AND entertaining! The format is akin to a high school textbook, with quirky ADHD moments printed in the margins and fabulous photos throughout. The last chapter is by far the best of all...

How the Strategies for Successful Writing: A Rhetoric, Research Guide, Reader and Handbook (8th Edition) (MyCompLab Series) is?
It is a well put together book. It was brand new book and it came on time and I am very happy with the result. Amazon is a great website for college textbooks.

Introduction to Algorithms

166 reviews
Thomas H. Cormen, Charles E. Leiserson, ...

The MIT Press, 2001

The best textbook on algorithms, but it is not a programming book.
I used this book for a graduate level Algorithms course, and I really liked it. It is packed full of content on a wide range of topics. While this book does provide some high-level implementations of algorithms in pseudo-code, you will not find any examples of how to program algorithms in this book. That's really not what this book is meant for anyways. I found the reading to be easier than ...

Design Drawing

13 reviews
Francis D. K. Ching

Wiley, 1997

Drafting book for Design Students
While Ching does cover some aspects of drawing outside of those needed for drafting, the primary focus is on architectural drafting. This is a technical book intended for design students. It is not a do-it-yourself learn-to-draw manual. Most often, this book will be a textbook in a design class. As such, it is excellent. The instructions are clear and well written, the drawings are simple ...

Algebra: Structure and Method Book 1

19 reviews
Richard G. Brown

Houghton Mifflin Company, 2000

Far better than most others
This is a well thought out Algebra textbook. I started teaching from it earlier this year and have grown to appreciate it very much. I am especially pleased the more I compare this to other books. Most math books these days are little more than pretty colors, crazy fonts, neat pictures, lots of distractions, and very little actual math instruction. This book, on the other hand, actually ...

Neuroanatomy: An Atlas of Structures, Sections, and Systems (Point (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins))

11 reviews
Duane E Haines

Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2007

Neuroanatomy a big deal for USMLE step 1
It is a well done book for preparing USMLE step 1. In addition, there are questions like the USMLE test that can help the student to pass it. I also recommend it for neurologists and neuroradiologists, because there are a lot of CT and MRI scans!

A Pattern Language: Towns, Buildings, Construction (Center for Environmental Structure Series)

76 reviews
Christopher Alexander

Oxford University Press, USA, 1977

Not just for architects - good for software engineers too
This book talks specifically about what works and doesn't work when building cities and towns and how to take the human element into consideration when doing so. However, I found its conclusions and most of its patterns applicable to software engineering. There are good books on software design patterns such as "Head First Design Patterns", and there are some good books on user interface design ...

Nixonland: The Rise of a President and the Fracturing of America

Rick Perlstein

Scribner, 2008

Insightful history of the US 1955-1975
The book gives a detailed and insightful history of US politics 1955-1975, roughly the "Era of Nixon." Anyone who lived through those times, or anyone who is interested in the principal trends of American politics, will benefit from this analysis. It's really a very good book.
