The Dementias: Diagnosis, Treatment, and Research

Color Atlas of Biochemistry

Ebook Download | Color Atlas of Biochemistry | I don't understand why so many science texts are overwrought and redundant. Worst of all, you end up paying premium prices for poor content, circuitous writing, and an inefficient organization of topics.

ActionScript 3.0 Cookbook

Ebook Download | ActionScript 3.0 Cookbook | This book is more of a desk reference for common tasks than an overall guide to the newest installment of Adobe's ECMA-based programming language. The sections devoted to the new features of ActionScript 3 are very useful and have thorough explanations with well documented code samples. I found the chapter on the new model for adding visual elements to a SWF via ActionScript using the Display...

JavaScript: The Missing Manual

Ebook Download | JavaScript: The Missing Manual | I have David's CSS book and was waiting for this book to come out. I can understand one of the author's reservations about this book being jQuery specific, but if you stop to think of it, is also one of its strengths.
