Mammals (A Golden Guide from St. Martin's Press)

Herbert S. Zim, Donald F. Hoffmeister

Golden Guides from St. Martin's Press, 2001

Still going strong after all these years.
How many fourth grade science reports have been written out of these little books by Zim? Back in the late 1950s (upper pleistocene to most), every kid worth his dinosaurs had a bunch of these nature guides (I lived with "Mammals;" "Reptiles and Amphibians;" "Rocks, ...

Lincoln

David Herbert Donald

Simon & Schuster Audio, 2005

The best narrative of Lincoln's life
Everyone has their favorite one-volume biography of Lincoln. This is not just mine, but many others' as well. Reason: its narrow focus--the man himself, what he saw, knew, did, and thought, from birth to death. No grand historical sweep here, no psycholgical ...

Great starter book of stars

Organizations

James G. March, Herbert A. Simon

Wiley-Blackwell, 1993

Classic
I included this in the literature review portion of my research project on retention and turnover. I enjoyed it so much after borrowing from the library and reading it that I had to have a copy for myself. March and Simon are cited so extensively in the business, ...

Haunted

James Herbert

Pan Books, 2007

A HIGHLY ATMOSPHERIC GHOST STORY...
This is a spooky, well-written haunted house novel, a gothic ghost story that is a wonderfully atmospheric. The author is Britain's premier writer of horror stories. Having read many of his other books and been thoroughly satisfied, this one is no exception. Those with ...

How to Break Software Security

James A. Whittaker, Herbert H. Thompson

Addison Wesley, 2003

Security testing for QA folks, also good for infosec folks
I'm the type of person who won't buy a tech book unless it's worth reading and referring to, and it didn't take much skimming to realize this was going to be worth it. My opinion hasn't changed since finishing it. I had a specific need for information on non-web ...

Argument Without End In Search Of Answers To The Vietnam Tragedy

Robert S. McNamara, James Blight, ...

PublicAffairs, 2000

A difficult, but inportant read
I am sure that many will rate this book, based upon McNamara's performance during the Vietnam era, probably awarding only one or two stars. However, this is an important book that reveals the many and complex reasons and way that we became involved in the Vietnam war. ...

The Fauve Landscape

Judi Freeman, James Herbert, ...

Los Angeles County Museum of Art, 1990

Very, very good
A lot have time was put into writing this book I can tell by the way it was written. Very good book on a hard period of art to write about.
