Review:This book has everyone talking, and rightly so. This is one of the big topics at Davos January 2016. Whether you are a student trying to choose a career or someone who already has a career, this is a must read. Read more
Review:One of the best nonfiction books I've ever read. Carreyrou does a good job of explaining the science behind blood testing/assays in layman's terms. Parts of this book read like fiction because of how unbelievable the (true) story became. Read more
Review:An eye opening perspective is delivered clearly by the author. There are some amazing facts and ideas which knowing the author's background and previous visions which have culminated in a great deal of progress on a number of fronts gives the reader much to think about. I loved it. Read more
Review:Loved that I could rent this book for an inexpensive price! Glad that I can use for it for an entire semester and then send back. This book is very expensive new, but I rented for $45! Who the heck wants to keep a boring chem book... Not I!!!!! Read more
Review:Seth Siegel has written a fascinating, engaging and highly readable book telling the story of how Israel went from chronic water shortages to being a water-exporting nation roughly between 2001 and 2013. Most people probably don't feel they need to know how this happened. But the story of Israel's struggles and ultimate triumph over the scourge of water scarcity is a drama so exciting, and it has such an exhilarating ending, that anyone who picks up this book will end up being very happy they d...

Review:This book tells a frightening story in a readable style although fewer long lists would have not gone amiss. A central moral of this story is that decision makers mostly don't know what they don't know like all of us. But in the case of rust the cost is staggering. Read more
Review:amazing collection.
And printing edition is good enough, because it was an issue that worried me. But it is more than correct.
I'm very happy for this purchase.
I recommend this book to all who likes physics. Read more
Review:Ray Kurzweil and Terry Grossman have invited us to revise our beliefs about death and, more importantly for me, aging. As a 58 year-old male baby boomer, I welcome the opportunity to think of death as something I can delay (until and if I decide I am ready to "go") and I embrace their thesis that I don't have to decline along the way. Instead of waiting for, indeed expecting, disease and degeneration of my quality of life, they have given me well-researched, carefully documented, clearly describ... Read more
Review:Mr. Kotler's Abundance is a good, solid read - but nothing really earth shattering. There are better business books out there (Godin, Gladwell, etc) but it's ok. Didn't love the writing style, but that's just personal preference perhaps. Read more
Review:Once again, Dover comes across as the students best friend. Not only is their line of textbooks astoundingly cheaper, but they lose nothing in value. This text is no different. Not only does is get ideas and tough topics across with crisp, clear examples but their chapter breakdowns are excellent. Instead of filling your head with lots of extra theorems and corollaries this book pushes application and solid examples. Not only is it best for the engineer, but it's a great starting text. When I ne... Read more
