Head First Statistics (Head First)

Dawn Griffiths

O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2008

Simply Brilliant!
I find writing reviews of the Head First series of books difficult. Not because they are badly written, or because they do not cover the subject matter well. It is simply that they are so good. So let me set the tone by saying: I challenge anyone to find a better book ...

Created for Work: Practical Insights for Young Men

Bob Schultz

Great Expectations Book, 2006

One of a kind
I haven't found anything out there like this book. It is a wonderful devotional for both boys and girls, and has a way of both convicting and encouraging - but without you actually telling your kids these things yourself! I've spent evenings where my younger ones ...

Great Expectations (Dover Thrift Editions)

Charles Dickens

Dover Publications, 2001

One of the best novels ever written
Without a doubt this has to be one of the greatest novels of all time. I won't say it's the best just because once a work of art attains greatness I find it quite incomparable to other great works. Great works are ones which have fully succeeded in expressing the ...

I keep buying it...
I've bought at least four copies of this book... every time I get one, one of my kids runs off with it and I can't finish it. They love it - and they've been challenged by it. I love it - I'm most of the way through it. Now if I can just get my latest copy back from ...

Great Expectations

Sandy Jones, Marcie Jones

Sterling, 2004

Wonderful Book!
This is my first pregnancy so I went to pick out books and this is my favorite book! I love it. It tells you EVERYTHING you want and need to know, from symptoms, week by week details, pictures of the developing baby, breast feeding guide, what to buy for the baby, like ...

The Silence of Adam: Becoming Men of Courage in a World of Chaos

Larry Crabb, Don Michael Hudson, ...

Zondervan, 1998

Profound---At Times Overwhelmingly Thought Provoking
I am a woman. I'm only on page 90-something, but I find this book to be profound. My personal experience tells me that men ARE too passive. Their silence is K I L L I N G their marriages, their children, and MEN's own spirits!! This is not meant to be judgmental, ...

Peddling Prosperity: Economic Sense and Nonsense in an Age of Diminished Expectations

Paul Krugman

W. W. Norton & Company, 1995

really good, but seriously outdated
Fiscally I'm very conservative, so I don't relish hearing my ideas bashed and those of Keynes extolled. Such that I never paid Krugman much attention until he won that Nobel prize. Sure, I had read a couple of his NYT articles, but I didn't realize how ...
