Review:I really love the approach the author took with this book. It is obvious that he knows A LOT about how crediting agencies work behind the scenes but he explains it in a way that he isn't talking over your head. He goes through things step by step and gives very pragmatic details about how to set up your day to day operation, what to label folders with, addresses, etc... I really feel after reading this book that I actually can do this. Read more

Review:Reading about 9/11 again brings back all that anxiety from that day. To learn that the firefighters and police force were ill equipped and fighting just makes it worse. I sincerely hope all forces across the country have learned from this fateful experience and will work together. It's heartbreaking to read about these hero's trying to do their job with one hand tied behind their backs! Read more

Review:Dear Warren,

Sorry, I could only muster one star because there was no half star available. Needless to say I was severely disappointed in your book. It is less about leadership than it is a manifesto on liberal elitist thinking. At least you expose yourself up front with your blatant left-leaning political bias and adoration of Norman Lear. Seriously? Norman Lear a great leader because he was successful at selling junk TV sitcoms to the masses? But I suppose that falls in line with the ma... Read more

Review:Wilson is unquestionably a remarkable scientist who deserves much praise for his work, esp., island biogeography modeling and concepts. However, I found this book and his Consilience not very engaging. I came away from both with few new insights on the topics. But, given the undeniable accomplishments of Wilson, I remain hopeful about any new book he might author in the future. Read more

Review:I've enjoyed reading all of Elizabeth Gaskell's books. She teaches some good lessons about how we should treat one another. The fact that we don't have the end of the story isn't such a bad thing. Life is kind of like that. Read more

Review:The book is amazing, the people I bought from were not. When the used book arrived from Czars all the pages were coated in a dingy film. The book reeked of an odor I must assume was rat piss. Holding the book to read made me nauseous and ill. After teaching through chapter 1, I finally took it to a graphic arts place and had them photo copy all the pages so that I could throw it away.

Review:I like science, and love cooking. So Culinary Reactions : The Everyday Chemistry of Cooking by Simon Quellen Field is very exciting to me. The idea is to explain in clear and easy language how the chemicals in our foods react and behave to create what we eat.

From the liquid nitrogen frozen ice cream in the introduction, to the very end where he explains why salt and ice freeze ice cream and all the information in between, he's managed it very well.

The chapters each cover a specif... Read more

Review:This textbook is extremely well written. I got it when I was learning C and it was perfectly suited to this - I don't have any criticisms. It made me realize that there are some textbooks that are a class above the majority and that the time spent finding the good ones will quickly be repaid. Read more

Review:This book is a good introductory course to the c++ programming language. Although I do not consider myself an absolute beginner for programming, I must admit that the material in this book consolidates what I know, and what I don't know. The balance between code structure over general problem solving signifies how important it is to properly learn a new programming language. It is for this purpose that I take on my free times and devote myself into the book, reading about how others write and st... Read more
