Financial Accounting16 reviews
Robert Libby, Patricia Libby, ...

McGraw-Hill/Irwin, 2005

Excellent Introductory text for Accounting
Given how dry a subject Accounting can be (especially for non-Accounting majors) - this book really was fantastic. It serves up excellent examples, has a modern, graphic and splashy style that made it easy to follow along and refer back to key terms, and I liked the tie-ins to business in the general commentary. It's a great text for a self-paced course like an online accounting course offered ...

James Stewart

Brooks Cole, 2002

Good textbook!
As a math/chemistry major I am working on a thorough review of calculus theory and concepts this summer in preparation for my fall classes.This text is a very good introduction to calculus and analytic geometry. Provides both the theory behind the math as well as plenty of attention to practical applications in the sciences, business and economics for those who tend to say, "What good is math to ...

Vintage, 2004

What Happens To A Dream Deferred?
Produced in 1959, A RAISIN IN THE SUN was the first Broadway play written by a black woman: Lorraine Hansberry (1930-1965), a memorable author who based the central story on an incident that occurred in her own family and which eventually evolved into a landmark Supreme Court ruling in 1940 as Hansberry v.

Khaled Hosseini

Riverhead, 2007

Deep, but easy read
I loved this book! I'm a slow reader and I was so engrossed in the story, I finished it in five days! When you're staying up all night reading, you know it's a good book! I was so moved by the story, I bought The Kite Runner afterwards. This book really gives us a sense of what Afghans are going through, especially the women of Afghanistan. This is a touching and inspirational story and I ...
  
  











  



  
The Art of War15 reviews
Sun Tzu

Shambhala, 2005

Classic on the priciples of war
This ancient classic of 13 chapters was written over 2,500 years ago by the legendary Chinese general Sun Tzu. It is a must have for military buffs that enjoy reading about the tactics of the most succesful generals. It is rumored that Napoleon used a French translation of the Art of War to his advantage while conquering most of Europe, and he lost when he broke its principles.

The Sun Also Rises468 reviews
Ernest Hemingway

Scribner, 2006

The novel that made me love Hemingway
Hemingway wrote like a man that knew he was going to be big. I absolutely enjoyed this novel cover to cover. Typically, I try to avoid 20th century American Literature (I read more British literature) but I tip my hat to Mr. Hemingway after reading this novel. I have read that because this is his first novel there were multiple "flaws" throughout the novel. This may be true but in all ...
  
  











  



  
When a Crocodile Eats the Sun: A Memoir of Africa48 reviews
Peter Godwin

Back Bay Books, 2008

When a Crocodile Eats the Sun
Peter Godwin's book, titled above, is a very worth while read. In plain dialogue he lets the rest of the world know what is really going on in Zimbabwe in the most sensitive way possible through his own families lives. The book is beautifully written, I couldn't put it down once I started reading it, more especially after following the last fiasco of an election in June 2008. Why the other ...

The Ashes of Worlds (Saga of Seven Suns)15 reviews
Kevin J. Anderson

Orbit, 2008

Great space Opera
I've given Kevin Anderson 5 stars for the series as opposed to this book - that's probably a 4 star effort. Then again i think it must be incredibly hard to have a compelling - perfect ending to such a complex & imaginative series. Personally - i think he did a great job. & for me there's a lot to be said about tying all the ends up in a credible non-cataclysmic way. Ok, ok it was a little too ...
  
  











  



  
Sun, Wind & Light: Architectural Design Strategies, 2nd Edition13 reviews
G. Z. Brown, Mark DeKay

Wiley, 2000

Integrated Review of Two Top Books That Mesh Well
Although I normally read books in twos and threes on the same topic to gain varied perspectives, this is the first time I am writing a single review encompassing two books. They mesh together so well that I cannot imagine studying this subject without having BOTH in hand. The two books are Sun, Wind & Light: Architectural Design Strategies, 2nd Edition and The HOK Guidebook to Sustainable ...

The South Beach Diet: The Delicious, Doctor-Designed, Foolproof Plan for Fast and Healthy Weight Loss721 reviews
Arthur Agatston

Rodale Books, 2003

My word! A practical diet!
Finally, a member of the medical profession who has an inkling of human nature, a connection to something besides mere medical reality! I'm normally highly skeptical of such books and almost any medically recommended diet I've ever heard, seen, or smelt. This one is so firmly wedded to practical, everyday concerns and human nature that it simply blew me away. There is no fear peddling, no ...

Justin G. Longenecker, Carlos W. Moore, ...

South-Western College Pub, 2005

Book for online course
I am using this book for a online college curse and the book it's great! It provide many tools like the textbook's website to help you to understand the material and exams online. In general, I like the little cases that are update and motivate you to keep reading. If this book by itself can help you to develop you own Small Business, it worth.
  
  











  



  
Core Java(TM), Volume I--Fundamentals (8th Edition) (Sun Core Series)11 reviews
Cay S. Horstmann, Gary Cornell

Prentice Hall PTR, 2007

Even for the most experienced Java programmers
I am an extremely experienced Java programmer and Ph. D. computer scientist. I write and teach courses and develop technical assessments, so it's important to me to keep up with language developments. While I've bought a great many Java books over the years, I've been neglecting Core Java for many editions, thinking it would no longer be of any use and being tired of repurchasing books. I'm ...
