Taunton
, 2008
Covers Everything
A great book that covers everything. A good checklist of things to consider. The graphics provide highlights from different viewpoints -- green design, construction, would I do this? Lots of photos and drawings. A good book to have on the shelf for reference.
Panzer Aces: German Tank Commanders in World War II (Stackpole Military History Series)
Franz Kurowski
Stackpole Books
, 2004
Good summary book about 6 tank commanders
While some reviewers have gripped that this book doesn't cite sources and doesn't have alot of maps and lacks strategic prospective I think they are missing the point. This book pulls together good stories about men who, with the exception of Michael Wittmann whose ...
Perfectly Legal: The Covert Campaign to Rig Our Tax System to Benefit the Super Rich--and Cheat Everybody Else
David Cay Johnston

Easy but difficult read
I cannot offer enough enthusiasm in the written word to tell all Americans to read this book. It is easy and clear reading; but, I also add difficult because I could read only a few pages before having to take a breather. The book, by its revelations, so incenses me ...

McGraw-Hill Science/Engineering/Math

No complaints here!
I bought this textbook so I wouldn't have to pay the University's terrible prices (more than twice the price actually). I received the book in the exact same condition advertised, very promptly, and for a much better price... I'm very pleased!

Really Good! Slow Pace
This book has helped me understand the mechanics in physics. It has a slow pace, which helps you understand each subject thoroughly. For example, in my physics book, we cover momentum in like 10 pages, but in this book, momentum is covered in like 50 pages. There are ...

Great book, covers vast majority of important topics, and written by ex-contractor with real-world experience and building knowledge. Def recommend.

Superb
This book is great for self learning!, most of the theorems are explained in a very good way (a little too good and normally a little to hard to understand the first time) the examples are clear and the exercises are neither easy nor difficult (well some of them are ...
Leviathan (Norton Critical Editions)
Thomas Hobbes
W. W. Norton & Company
, 1996
Abridged, yet worthwhile.
What you first need to know is that the word "Authoritative" used in this edition refers to the fact that it utilizes several different manuscript versions to capture what Hobbes meant to convey. However, what is not mentioned is that this is an abridged version of ...

This book was a quick read with great information for piano parents, students of piano and teachers of piano. I sat down and read it in a day.
Introduction to Oil Company Financial Analysis
David Johnston,
Daniel Johnston
PennWell Corp.
, 2005
Farce of a book
The old warning Buyer Beware could not have been more apt for this book. Discussion of oil company analysis is limited to about two chapters - chapters 7 and 8. Beyond that this book is more of a primer on valuation in general with discussion on things like CAPM, ...

The Hero and the Crown
Robin Mckinley
Greenwillow
, 1984
Wonderful Fantasy
After reading The Blue Sword (which I loved), I couldn't wait to read The Hero and the Crown. I enjoyed this book, too. It was interesting that the heroine, Aerin, is practically a patron saint in Harry's time (in The Blue Sword), but looked down upon and ridiculed ...
