Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game

Michael Lewis

W. W. Norton & Company, 2004

Sports Fan unfamiliar with Baseball
I love sports. I love business, finance, and statistics. I've never been a baseball fan. This book was very well written to appeal to a very broad audience with a wide variety of backgrounds on the topic. The principle observations are delivered through expert ...

Competing on Analytics: The New Science of Winning

Thomas H. Davenport, Jeanne G. Harris

Harvard Business School Press, 2007

Five stars but... for the right audience!
I was excited by the title, some of the reviews and rushed to buy this. Read it quite fast and got little disappointed. Probably the correct title could be ''Advocacy for Competing on Analytics''. To be clear, the book is very good if you are: a student, a junior ...

Always Be Testing: The Complete Guide to Google Website Optimizer

Bryan Eisenberg, John Quarto-vonTivadar

Sybex, 2008

An exceptionally good piece of creative/practical work about Online Testing
When I first saw that this book was coming to light I had mixed feelings. On one hand, I was hunger for more testing knowledge, both theoretical and practical. On the other hand, I am always apprehensive when books talk about tools. However, the book impressed me as a ...

Advanced Web Metrics with Google Analytics

Brian Clifton

Sybex, 2008

THE Google Analytics guide
One of the few guides that covers the newer Google analytics ga.js code. I found chapter 11 an immeasurable help for guidance in monetizing a non-ecommerce website. Well laid out with useful screenshots and comprehensive scope, this is the one guide you will turn to ...

How to Measure Anything: Finding the Value of "Intangibles" in Business

Douglas W. Hubbard

Wiley, 2007

Quantifying Soft Knowledge
Perhaps the most frequent question from decision analysis team members is, "How do we get the inputs?" In most evaluations, there are several key variables about which we know little. Consider oil price, for example. We have abundant historical data, yet forecasting ...

Calculus (With Analytic Geometry)(8th edition)

Ron Larson, Robert P. Hostetler, ...

Brooks Cole, 2005

Perfect and saved me money!
Everything was sent as advertised and in great shape. It was also on time and saved me some money. Thanks!

Web Analytics: An Hour a Day

Avinash Kaushik

Sybex, 2007

The only book on Web Analytics you'll ever need
Technologies evolve, but the PROCESS by which we should collect and analyze online data in order to gain solid, actionable insights will remain constant for the foreseeable future. I have been fortunate enough to work with some of the smartest online marketers in ...

Fundamentals of Biochemistry: Life at the Molecular Level

Donald J. Voet, Judith G. Voet, ...

Wiley, 2008

great pits
When I first used this book in undergrad I did not like it very much, however, in medical school, I found this book to be a huge asset. It is great for someone who learns visually and condenses all the info on to a few pages, my medical school bio chem book took 30 ...

Landing Page Optimization: The Definitive Guide to Testing and Tuning for Conversions

Tim Ash

Sybex, 2008

Comprehensive, Practical, and Actionable Website Optimization Guide
Amazingly enough, virtually everything you need to know about optimizing the commercial efficiency of a website (not just a "landing page") is included, concisely, in Landing Page Optimization. In addition to the motivation for doing optimization, how to select what ...

Quantitative Chemical Analysis

Daniel C. Harris

W. H. Freeman, 2006

Why can't all chem books be like this?
The explanations and reasoning behind doing certain procedures and calculations in this book is outstandingly good (most of the time). Each chapter provides detailed workthroughs of problems with easy to understand explanations and in a wide enough variety of ways for ...

Calculus: Early Transcendental Functions

Robert T Smith, Roland B Minton

McGraw-Hill Science/Engineering/Math, 2006

Not enough rigor for my tastes
As a math instructor at a small college, I am occasionally called upon to teach calculus. Therefore, I examined this book for possible consideration as a textbook in our three-course sequence. At over 1000 pages, it certainly has all the material needed for the ...

Exploring Chemical Analysis

Daniel C. Harris

W. H. Freeman, 2008

Great Analytical Chem book/Chem ref
This book was a required text for my analytical chemistry class. I was at first a bit worried about it, I tend to be picky about chemistry textbooks, but I quickly fell in love with this one. The chapters are short and to the point (most between 20 and 30 pages). ...

Principles of Instrumental Analysis

Douglas A. Skoog, F. James Holler, ...

Brooks Cole, 2006

reference book, not a textbook
This is definately not the best textbook in the world. It is excrutiatingly detailed and does not easily guide you through the material, helping you to learn it. On the other hand, its detail is what makes it a phenomenal reference book. In it you can find not only ...

Schaum's Outline of Calculus (Fourth Edition)

Elliott Mendelson, Frank Ayres

McGraw-Hill, 1999

I am VERY Happy with this Book - great 4 self-study
In order to take an advanced statistics course (since I have been out of college awhile) I have to take a calculus test. They gave me a sample of 60 questions from prior years and recomended a text that cost $180!!! Well for 1/15 of the price of the expensive text, ...

Thomas' Calculus, Early Transcendentals, Media Upgrade (11th Edition)

George B. Thomas, Maurice D. Weir, ...

Addison Wesley, 2007

Books in good condition, but shipping takes too long.
I order the book a week ago and i get it after a week by using the standard shipping $3.99 for each item. The book is in a very good condition and cheap, but just the shipping takes too long, i recommond buy the text book 1 or 2 weeks before the class start just in ...
