"The MD Anderson Manual of Medical Oncology"

Ebook Download | "The MD Anderson Manual of Medical Oncology" | The previous reviewer must have purchased only volume 1.

King Solomon's Ring

Ebook Download | King Solomon's Ring | "Without supernatural assistance, our fellow creatures can tell us the most beautiful stories, and that means true stories, because the truth about nature is always far more beautiful even than what our great poets sing of it, and they are the only real magicians that exist."

Developing Children's Emotional Intelligence

Ebook Download | Developing Children's Emotional Intelligence | This is a great book for teachers. There are lots of practical ideas in it that are easy to put into place. I like the emphasis on building EQ into everyday situations but also making special time for it as well. The use of art and drama was very useful to me as I had not done this before with my children so I found that was another way for me to help them deal with the...

The Washington Manual of Surgical Pathology

Ebook Download | The Washington Manual of Surgical Pathology | I liked this book very much. It is small in size but has a great fund of UPDATED knowledge. It doesn't have pictures or images in its printed format because I think the authors want to make the size of the book small to be handy and not heavy :-). It fits into the pocket of your lab coat. They put all the images in an electronic image bank. I liked the text part of the...

Duelling idiots and other probability puzzlers

Ebook Download | Duelling idiots and other probability puzzlers | Books on probability are often boring. (Remember all those tedious problems involving people obsessed with drawing balls from urns?). In "Duelling Idiots", Nahin actually makes the subject fun by describing offbeat problems with unexpected solutions. If you like solving math puzzles, then this is a great book to look at. If you're teaching a course and want to assign...

When Least Is Best

Ebook Download | When Least Is Best | Mr. Nahin states in his preface that 1st year undergraduate math and physics is enough to manage "a lot of mathematics in this book." He is fairly on the mark, discounting my comments about chapter six below. As usual, the reader must keep pencils and scrap paper ready to fully appreciate this book. I hoped to find a book based on applications of math and physics, an engineer's approach. This is one...

Learning XML

Ebook Download | Learning XML | I highly recommend this book if you know HTML and have some exposure to CSS; it's a good intro book to XML, which is what it's intended to be. The end result is that you'll know enough to get started with more technical books, and where to go for available web resources. The reasons that other people have given for not liking this book are some of the same reasons that I find it useful. I'm pretty well-versed...

Graph Colouring and the Probabilistic Method

Ebook Download | Graph Colouring and the Probabilistic Method | This is definitely for someone who knows graph theory very well and wants to learn the powerful tool of "probabilistic method". As far as I know, this is the second book on the probabilistic method (the first one is by Alon and Spencer). It starts with some simple basic notions and gradually takes you to the heart of some deep (and complicated) results in graph theory....

The Blackwell Guide to Aesthetics

Ebook Download | The Blackwell Guide to Aesthetics | I read this book for a graduate seminar on the philosophy of art. This book is an excellent way to get a general idea of the vast field of philosophy of art. Aesthetics = philosophy of Art, thinking about art. Using writings from over fifty philosophers on art form Plato to Hans-Georg Gadamer gives the reader a great grounding in all of the philosophical theories of "what is art." The...

Indigenizing the Academy: Transforming Scholarship and EmpoweringCommunities (Contemporary Indigenous Issues)

Ebook Download | Indigenizing the Academy: Transforming Scholarship and Empowering Communities (Contemporary Indigenous Issues) | In recent decades, American historians have significantly re-evaluated the role of Native Americans in the continent's history. Largely, of course, this was done by academics who were not themselves of that ethnicity. A roundabout way of saying that most were white, and male, for that matter. But there has...

Biostatistical Analysis (5th Edition)

Ebook Download | Biostatistical Analysis (5th Edition) | This book and BIOMETRY by Sokal and Rohlf are the two standard statistics books that live on the shelves of most biological researchers. Zar makes methods and interpretations of statistical analyses accessible and understandable. There are suffient numbers of statistical tests in the text to cover most of my statistical needs.

Multirate Systems And Filter Banks: P. P. Vaidyanathan

Ebook Download | Multirate Systems And Filter Banks: P. P. Vaidyanathan | You'll get in this book a complete treatment of the theory of multirate systems and filter banks. The practical side is not the focus. The large number of examples and figures make it easy to follow (reading it from cover to cover is not that difficult). The intuition beyond the theory is well developed, at the expense of a light mathematical treatment. The...

Mind at large

Ebook Download | Mind at large | Initially, I was doubtful of the existence of psi phenomena. My AP Psychology course gave me the impression that there was scant data to validate the field. However, knowing Dr. Harold Puthoff both personally and professionally, I was willing to put my doubt aside and investigate the work that he and others have conducted in parapsychology. Although a compilation of scientific reports first published...

Theory of Matrix Structural Analysis

Ebook Download | Theory of Matrix Structural Analysis | This book remains a great intellectual achievement, right up there with the works of Timoshenko. I've been able to write several quite useful programs using various element stiffness matrices spelled-out explicitly in this volume. Other books that I've read on F.E.M. seem to banter around the subject in obtuse mathematical terms. Przemieniecki derives ever step - and most importantly...

Antonio's Gun and Delfino's Dream: True Tales of Mexican Migration

Ebook Download | Antonio's Gun and Delfino's Dream: True Tales of Mexican Migration | In 2002 Ruben Martinez published "Crossing Over: A Mexican Family on the Migrant Trail". The book did a wonderful job of telling the story about an extended family separated by the U.S.-Mexico border. Sam Quinones' book "Antonio's Gun and Delfino's Dream" is an equally compelling and well written, researched book. The three part story of Delfino...

5 Steps to a 5 AP Statistics, 2010-2011 Edition

Ebook Download | 5 Steps to a 5 AP Statistics, 2010-2011 Edition | The stats book provided by my school was hard to understand and used esoteric vocaulary that isn't necessary for the course so I immediately sought a review book. At first, I bought the Princeton Review, but soon realized that it wasn't satisfactory--it glossed over fundamental topics and didn't have good examples that replicated questions from the exam. I bought...

Foundation Actionscript 3.0 with Flash CS3 and Flex

Ebook Download | Foundation Actionscript 3.0 with Flash CS3 and Flex | Like most of the friends of ED books on Flash and ActionScript, this book by Steve Webster, Todd Yard and Sean McSharry is a good book for the novice. Most beginner's books on ActionScript cover just the basics such as variables, loops and functions and don't go much further. However in this book, the authors go one step further and help the readers to extend their...

Toward a Superconsciousness: Meditational Theory and Practice

Ebook Download | Toward a Superconsciousness: Meditational Theory and Practice | This book by Dr. Hiroshi Motoyama is very helpful in elucidating what the yoga practitioner is trying to accomplish by meditation and also includes helpful guidelines to this end, however this is publication is not a very concise "How to" manual.

Eyewitness: Light

Ebook Download | Eyewitness: Light | The photos and visual aids in this book are the perfect supplement to any basic physics lesson that includes the study of light.

Eric J Chaisson, "Epic of Evolution: Seven Ages of the Cosmos"

Ebook Download | Eric J Chaisson, "Epic of Evolution: Seven Ages of the Cosmos" | This book is an updated look, using the most recent theories of the history of the Cosmos. It takes about half the book to get to the formation of the earth, made out of heavier elements that were cooked in the atmospheres of stars, and to the point where chemistry could begin. After that he looks at the evidence of the smallest and earliest ancient...

Professional Visual Basic 2008

Ebook Download | Professional Visual Basic 2008 | I certainly have not gone through all 1420 pages of this book, but I did go through several chapters in detail. As an example, I went through the chapter on SQLCE. This was an excellent presentation for someone familiar with Visual Studio and VB.Net but would not be good for a beginner. The book is excellent if you are a seasoned programmer and not good for those starting out. The...

Origins: How the Planets, Stars, Galaxies, and the Universe Began

Ebook Download | Origins: How the Planets, Stars, Galaxies, and the Universe Began | I read a lot of science literature and can say without a doubt that this is one of the best pieces of Science writing I've come across. Dr. Eales does an INCREDIBLE job of taking very complicated concepts and processes and making them seem oh-so-simple and enjoyable. If this is how he runs his classes his students are VERY fortunate. If you are interested...

Essential ASP.NET With Examples in C#

Ebook Download | Essential ASP.NET With Examples in C# | I've ordered this book primarily based on rave reviews of fellow webloggers as well as the fact that every single book from AW .NET series was worth the money. This book did not disappoint. Fritz has found the right to mix of giving the reader the theory and practical advice. The author assumes that the reader is familiar with .NET and is experienced in application design (I...

Windows Forms Programming in Visual Basic .NET

Ebook Download | Windows Forms Programming in Visual Basic .NET | Before I rave about this title, let me start with a caveat. This is not a beginner's "Learn VB.NET" or "Learn to Program" book - it's for intermediate to advanced programmers. That being said, this is a great book for anyone who actually needs to do _real_work_ (shudder) with Windows Forms. Unlike a lot of books out there, this isn't a huge tome that rehashes the MSDN...

Building (Eyewitness Books)

Ebook Download | Building (Eyewitness Books) | Like another reviewer here, I was absolutely stunned at the amount of information if reference to buildings that the author was able to pack into this one. The book explores different building styles from around the world. The photos and drawings are of top rate quality and just to flip through the book, examining the pictures is worth the price of the book along. The illustrations...

The Unknowable (Discrete Mathematics and Theoretical Computer Science)

Ebook Download | The Unknowable (Discrete Mathematics and Theoretical Computer Science) | Chaitin is not a modest writer, but then given his personal contribution to the field he discusses here, there's no reason why he should be. This book is not an easy read for the layperson (I know, I am one) but does reward perseverance. The beauty of "The Unknowable" is that it allows the reader to understand the points Chaitin makes by working...
