Stochastic Calculus for Finance II: Continuous-Time Models (Springer Finance)

Steven E. Shreve

Springer, 2008

Pre-digested chicken soup for the "aspiring quant"
While writing a review for Hull's text, I suggested that an easier (than to start with Hull) way to learn quantitative finance is to pick up one of the more focused books on the subject. There is a huge deluge of these books - I think one comes out every few weeks. ...

Schaum's Outline of Signals and Systems

Hwei Hsu

McGraw-Hill, 1995

Great Product
I highly recomend any of the Schaum's series. This book is a perfect replacement for any Signals and Systems course. Straight and to the point and easy to understand. Great for anyone who doesn't need all the long paragraphs and just wants the meat of the material.

Savas Beatie, 2008

A great book that still needs an editor before going to its 2nd edition
The Union Army in the Civil War provides a tremendous example of how an institution can survive its own imperfections and turn itself into a successful organization. It was not easy, and it took awhile. Corruption and indolence under the Buchanan administration were ...

Continuous Cables: An Exploration of Knitted Cabled Knots, Rings, Swirls, and Curlicues

Melissa Leapman

Potter Craft, 2008

Great range of creative styles and original cables

Pat of Silver Bush

L.M. Montgomery

Seal Books, 1988

I had to love it...
Okay, an avid L.M. Montgomery reader I am; I've read all the Anne and Emily books many times over, and most of Montgomery's other works at least once. I hadn't read the Pat books, but on recommendations here, I decided to buy them. I'm not disappointed. Two major ...
