Screenwriting Updated: New (and Conventional) Ways of Writing for the Screen 3 reviews
Linda Aronson
Silman-James Press, 2001
I'm Grateful For This Book
I have seen virtually everything out there and for me this is simply the best of the bunch. Linda Aronson has put so much that is practical into this book, that I am actually grateful to her. More than that, I am a bit in awe of her intelligence and generosity. I have never seen so much excellent advice in one book about the creative process of writing, the interplay of what she calls vertical ...

License To Steal: Updated Edition 4 reviews
Malcolm K Sparrow
Basic Books, 2000
Straight talk on fraud
Although he has a wealth of expertise and a scholar's background, Sparrow speaks in a narrative style about the sad state of health care fraud in America today. While some progress is being made, there remains a little depth and sophistication in the responses to the complex and clever fraud schemes out there. Regretably, the many policitcal and institutional barriers to mesuring and ...

PIPEs: A Guide to Private Investments in Public Equity: Revised and Updated Edition 7 reviews
Bloomberg Press, 2005
Highly Recommended!
This is an excellent and comprehensive introduction to PIPEs. The acronym stands for Private Investment in Public Equity, and this includes not only common stock but warrants and other permutations of equity. Companies often issue PIPEs when they need capital but when market conditions make it imprudent to raise funds through a public offering. Most PIPEs investors are sophisticated institutions, ...

Stephen M. Stahl

Essential Psychopharmacology: the Prescriber's Guide
Great book! I went to a training by the author on polypharmacy in the treatment of individuals with mental illnesses. I then bought his general "Essential Psychopharmacology" book that was fairly complex, but the cartoons made the information fairly understandable for a non medical person like myself. The "Prescriber's Guide" is much more understandable and very useful in it's discussion of ...

Epidemiology, Updated Edition: With STUDENT CONSULT Online Access27 reviews
Leon Gordis
Saunders, 2004
Great Introductory Text
This was a required text for my introductory epidemiology course. I have had an interest in epi for a number of years and approached the book with a fair amount of skepticism, especially given its relatively small size. After reading the first few chapters I found Gordis's writing style to be dry and too convoluted for otherwise simple topics. Saying this, halfway through the semester I really ...

Team Players and Teamwork, Completely Updated and Revised: New Strategies for Developing Successful ... 1 review
Glenn M. Parker
Jossey-Bass, 2008
In need of new edition
I read this book as part of a Master's degree program at Chapman University in organizational leadership. It illustrates that teamwork is essential in the late 1980s -- the book has copyrights of 1990 and 1996, still in first edition. At one point the author actually writes, "As we move forward in the 1990s..." While I know the examples should still largely hold true, it lacks credibility for ...

This is easily the best book available on the subject of Christian writing style. Examples of the items covered here that are unlikely to be covered anywhere else include abbreviations for Bible books including apocryphal ...

Bananas, Beaches and Bases: Making Feminist Sense of International Politics [Updated Edition]6 reviews
Cynthia Enloe
University of California Press, 2001
Fascinating
I've been studying international politics and gender issues for some time but they've always been presented as separate subjects. To find a cohesive, academic work integrating the two was fabulous. Her work is jointly informative and interesting providing enough theory to be of academic interest and enough examples to exceed the category of a mere textbook. Highly recommend this!

A Random Walk Down Wall Street: Completely Revised and Updated Edition171 reviews
Burton G. Malkiel
W. W. Norton & Company, 2003
Excellent Message. Sweeps some exceptions (particularly those noted herein) under the rug.
Particularly in a day and age where mutual funds are often touting themselves on the television, this book has an excellent, largely unbiased message for the average investor: buy low cost index funds and stay in them for the long haul.
The book is exceptionally well written, covering most of the lessons of an introductory to intermediate finance course in a very accessible format (i.e. all ...

On Becoming A Leader: The Leadership Classic--Updated And Expanded28 reviews
Warren Bennis
Basic Books, 2003
GREAT Leadership Book
Bennis discusses the importance of reflection as a tool for excellent leadership throughout his book On becoming a leader: The leadership classic (2003). I was particularly interested in his insight on reflection because it seems that few leaders have time to luxuriate in quiet time for reflection. After reading this book I see the importance of taking time to listen to one's inner voice. ...

The front of the book includes a summary of basic leaf anatomy. It includes sketches of leaf shapes and leaf margins. There is also a diagram of oak leaves as related to their immediate environment of growth (swampy, ...

Islam: The Straight Path Updated with New Epilogue, 3rd edition6 reviews
John L. Esposito
Oxford University Press, USA, 2004
Islam: Fact or Fiction
Esposito does a fine job of relating Islam to the lay person. His text is easy to read, the definitions are solid and he dispells much of the myth surrounding Islam. The newest text references 9/11 and the radical sects which have surfaced since then.
I would highly recommend this text to teachers and students alike; as well as those who are simply looking for a way to properly understand ...
