Fundamentals of Search and Rescue Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)As a technical mountain search and rescue team member and trainer, I believe there is no better investment than this manual for anyone interested in search and rescue. It is worth its cost simply in the document resources. If every team member doesn't have one, at least have a couple copies for any SAR...

Programming Microsoft Visual Basic .NET (Core Reference) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This is the best programming book I have ever read. 1600 of pages of intelligent descriptions and code examples. First you learn the VB.NET language, then you dive into chapters that cover a specific realms like Attributes, Threading, Win32, ADO.NET, ASP.NET, and alot more.As big as the book is, it does...

Area 51 (Area 51, Book 1) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Bob Mayer (AKA Robert Doherty AKA Greg Donegan AKA Joe Dalton AKA Bob McGuire) is truly one of the more masterful newcomers to the sci-fi genre in many, many years. Intermingling sci-fi with edgy military techo-thriller action, Mayer weaves some of the most enjoyable and imaginative fiction I've ever...

Data Structures and Algorithm Analysis in C (2nd Edition) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Many people on here have complained that this book goes way over the head of students not already familiar with some C++ and data structures. To these comments, I refer you to the product description (or editorial review, whichever) that specifically says this is an advanced text. I apologize to those...

JasperReports for Java Developers: Create, Design, Format and Export Reports with the world's most popular Java reporting library Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I was looking for complex examples on crosstab reports but found only basic examples. I wish they had a chapter on Dynamic reports and a section describing the jasper report object model.Otherwise it is a good introduction into Jasper Reports as it goes through all the features (rather than searching...

Youth Subcultures: Exploring Underground America (A Longman Topics Reader) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I run a small training center for subculture missionaries (Goths, Punks, Sk8ers, and Metalheads who are in ministry). This book has become a God send of information for us in the classes. It is a favorite source for class papers now along with Postmodern Youth Ministry!Click Here to see more reviews...

The Best Short Stories of O. Henry (Modern Library) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)A collection of 100 or more short stories by O. Henry? My mouth waters already! It's hard to imagine any literary treat that can be enjoyed in small doses more pleasurable than this. I have spent over a year savouring these stories, reading them one by one, tasting his delightful choice of words, digesting...

Creative Writing: Four Genres in Brief Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)There aren't a lot of creative writing texts that cover all four genres out there, and "Creative Writing: Four Genres in Brief" seemed a promising, inexpensive option to assign for my college creative writing class. The discussions of craft are solid and each section is followed by a checklist that my...

Read It Again: Revisiting Shared Reading Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Brenda Parkes pushes our thinking about the practice of shared reading. Using poetry, traditional tales, contemporary fiction and non-fiction texts are just the beginning to a language-rich classroom supporting young readers and writers. Do you ever find yourself stuck in the 5 day cycle of shared reading?...

J2EE Web Services: XML SOAP WSDL UDDI WS-I JAX-RPC JAXR SAAJ JAXP Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Warning: this book is only a rumination on the J2EE web services specification, fat on "theory" and with absolutely no real code examples you can run and play with to learn. Unless you are someone who can learn playing tennis looking at people playing it, or become a musician by listening to music, I...

Learning Chinese Measure Words through Pictures Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)First, I'm only just beginning Chinese and I don't know another source for measure words. I have to use the dictionary to understand the "situational passages", but I'm happy to do that.I have a teacher and, so far, all the words we have used have been in the book. I have a list of forty-five that we've...

Analog Circuit Design: Art, Science and Personalities (EDN Series for Design Engineers) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Analysis is a science: there's a right answer out there, and we can all agree when it's found. Troubleshooting is the same way: when the broken bit is found and fixed, the circuit starts working properly. Design, on the other hand, is an art; there's always more than one way to do it, and the individuality...

Essential English Grammar Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Studying grammar is something most people prefer to avoid. We all know it can help us write better, but we cringe at the thought of "going back to school." I happen to be different: I am a bit of a nerd, and I make my living teaching people to write better at work. After teaching one of my courses, I...

Dirty Spanish: Everyday Slang from "What's Up?" to "F*%# Off" (Dirty Everyday Slang) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)They never teach you slang in those high school foreign language classes. At least they never did in mine. But of course, we all wanted to learn how to swear in the language we were learning. I became better acquainted with the intricacies of another language when Maria, a foreign exchange student from...
