Joe McNally
New Riders Press, 2008
Location Photogrpahy for Commerical and Portrait Photographers
I'll keep this short and sweet.
1. NOT a cookbook or "how to" book.
2. NOT a beginners book.
3. IS a book for high intermediate level and advanced photographers (see#4).
4. This book does not give F stops or other technical information. That's why it's an advanced book.
5. 100% LOCATION photography and how to overcome the hardships of this type of shot.
6. Emphasis on hard core commercial ...

Pitch Perfect: The Quest for Collegiate A Cappella Glory 5 reviews
Mickey Rapkin
Gotham, 2008
Perfect Summer Read!
After reading about it in Rolling Stone and USA Today on the same day, I decided to buy it. AND IT'S GREAT. It reads so well and is so funny, kinda like the movie Bring It On, but this is about college singers. I had no idea that this whole world existed and I didn't even go to college that long ago. It didn't matter that I didn't know about a cappella, though, because the author gives you all ...

Scott Kelby's 7-Point System for Adobe Photoshop CS3 (Voices)71 reviews
Scott Kelby
Peachpit Press, 2007
Can't believe the results I am getting!!!
This book is different than any other "how-to" book I have ever seen. You download lesson pictures off Scott's website and you do what he does with each picture. It is like you are sitting in the same room. You follow his plain English directions-with pictures--and you do the exact things he is doing in the book and you end up with amazing pictures...I never knew learning Photoshop could be ...

The Adobe Photoshop CS3 Book for Digital Photographers (Voices That Matter)90 reviews
Scott Kelby
New Riders Press, 2007
A simple, yet seriously effective book!
This book has re-inspired me as a photographer. I have been a semi-pro photographer for about 10 years now. I dodged the digital revolution for more years than I should have. I only got into it in 2005. Before that I wouldn't even look at going digital. Until now I only used Photoshop for basic photo editing because other books I had bought just made the subject complicated. This book ...

Presentation Zen: Simple Ideas on Presentation Design and Delivery (Voices That Matter)58 reviews
Garr Reynolds
New Riders Press, 2008
Follow a new path
In this beautifully designed and well written manifesto, Garr Reynolds illustrates how your presentations can engage and even inspire audiences, with just a little more effort and imagination in the preparation and design stages.
Most presentations we see are lists of bullet points. They are entirely 'left brain.' The best presentations, Reynolds says, use 'whole mind' aptitudes and talents. ...

Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Book for Digital Photographers,The (Voices That Matter)83 reviews
Scott Kelby
New Riders Press, 2007
A must have
This book is a must have while learning the ins and outs of Lightroom. The step-by-step instructions are easy to follow for both pc's and mac's.
With a little more advanced knowledge it is easy to know what you are looking for - important since it is not a read through once and get it kind of book.

Boom!: Voices of the Sixties Personal Reflections on the '60s and Today 89 reviews
Tom Brokaw
Random House, 2007
Ignore the negative reviews - this is as even as you can get
I'm guessing that the negative comments came from people who are only happy when a book totally trashes everything liberal and glorifies everything conservative. That's not what this book is about, but it is about as even handed as one could attempt. As opposed to what some of the reviewers claim, it is not Tom Brokaw's opinion of the 60's, it is interviews with those that were active ...

Designing for the Social Web (Voices That Matter)3 reviews
Joshua Porter
New Riders Press, 2008
Very well written
First, this is not a programming book- there are no lines of code. Instead, this is about the design of social websites. It is very well written, with many illustrations and examples, in a style which makes it both easy to read and useful as a reference. It's clear that the author put a lot of time into this- probably because he's read countless books himself lacking in these areas. You can ...

THE BEST BOOKS EVER
I absolutely love these books. I can't believe how good the writing is, how amazing the love story is, and how much I love the characters. They are an easy read that will suck you in and never let you go. They are my favorite books of all time and such an inspiration.

Dan Cederholm
New Riders Press, 2007
Best CSS Book I have ever owned
This is easily the best CSS book I have ever owned. It's very easy to read and provides excellent, and sadly few, examples. Most importantly, the author does a wonderful job helping the reader understand concepts and how and why certain things are implemented.
Other books are FULL of examples... although they usually lack the details that someone like me need. The details, writing, and ...

Lauren Groff
Voice, 2008
Lauren Groff is brilliant
This book was brilliant and I hope Lauren Groff has not burnt herself out because I want to read more books by her. For multiple reasons, I'm really enjoyed this book. I read over 100 books a year and most are told in one tense throughout the whole book and basically that's fine. This book was like 10 books in one. The basic story of Willie trying to find her father and the research she does ...

The Voice of Knowledge: A Practical Guide to Inner Peace38 reviews
Don Miguel Ruiz, Janet Mills
Amber-Allen Publishing, 2004
A VITAL RESOURCE FOR THOSE WHO ADVISE OTHERS!
I have read and enjoyed previous work of Don Miguel Ruiz, The Four Agreements, The Four Agreements Companion Book, and The Mastery of Love. This last book I've probably liked better than the other ones. I'm not sure why. Maybe it's because it's a lesser known book or that it was a bit less mystical than the other ones.
In any event, I found The Voice of Knowledge to be a very insightful piece ...

Claire Cook

Claire Cook Has Done It Again
Claire Cook has done it again! It seems as though she's created her own genre: wonderful. moving, and breezy summer reads. How could anyone resist Bella Shaughnessy, the newly single entrepreneur who, after swearing off men, finds herself falling for one? I've always appreciated comfort food; what I didn't know until I read Claire Cook's novels is that there was such a thing as comfort reads. ...

Editors of Time Magazine, Yad Vashem
Time / Yad Vashem, 2008
Unadorned
There are some stories that need no adornment. This is one. Rutka Laskier was 14 and she knew she was going to die. Likely, contacts from the underground told her family of the death camps. She wrote in a diary. She sees an old man beaten to death. A soldier bludgeoning a child. She does not believe there is a God. "if only I could say, it's over, you die only once...but I can't, despite all ...

A Voice in the Wind (Mark of the Lion #1)130 reviews
Francine Rivers
Tyndale House Publishers, 1998
Brilliant Historical Fiction!
I generally enjoy a guy's read. In other words, I'm not interested unless the story has guns in it. I confess that, without reading any of her work, I wrote Francine Rivers off as Chick Lit.
In my home country, South Africa, she was really the only Christian fiction author available and, as such, I didn't read Christian fiction at all until a friend convinced me to give A Voice In The Wind a ...
