Delmar's Standard Textbook of Electricity Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Excellent textbook. Presented in a textbook format with plenty of pictures, easy to read and understand. Linear learning curve. Explains ins and outs of electronics and electricity basics, easy math (no two-page formula derivations!). I found it a great resource for brushing up for my electronics tech...

Pavement Analysis and Design Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Overall, the book is helpful. It starts off discussing the general pavement types, design methods, and roads tests. Included in this section are the results of findings which, although not something I consider in everyday design, are items that are interesting enough to promote thought in my designs....

Aleks User's Guide Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Purchasing a new version of Aleks rather than looking for a deal on eBay is the way to go. The code is only good for a semester, so if you get a used one, it won't work.Click Here to see more reviews about: Aleks User's GuideALEKS is an artificial intelligence-based system for individualized math learning,...

Basic Drafting: A Manual for Beginning Drafters Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I agree with the other gentleman who was as unfortunate as me in selecting this so-called "book". More like a few pages torn from a 10th grade art text and wound together with bailing twine! Not only were there dozens of grammatical errors as well as several misspellings and blatant repeats, this haphazard...

Remember Everything You Read: The Evelyn Wood 7-Day Speed Reading & Learning Program Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I have never read a book before about reading faster with better comprehension. I was attracted to this book because so many people ask me if there is a book I can recommend that helps with reading speed and comprehension. While I found many things to like that will help you with your reading, I also...

Quick Medical Terminology: A Self-Teaching Guide, 4th edition Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Before starting a class at the local technical college, I used this book as a guide to find out if I could go back to school after 30 years. It was great - easy to understand and much better than the textbook we use in class. Highly recommended.Click Here to see more reviews about: Quick Medical Terminology:...

Drawing Words and Writing Pictures: Making Comics: Manga, Graphic Novels, and Beyond Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I brought an advance copy of this book into a college illustration class I teach. The class was quite impressed. In fact, two students went onto Amazon online and bought it instantly. Usually I discourage shopping during class, but Drawing Words and Writing Pictures is an answered prayer for the aspiring...

This section describes the wide...

The Theory of Horology Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This is the actual book to which watchmaking schools around the world base their teachings (more or less). In my opinion it is only good for already learned watch repair persons (whatchmakers they call us), as it is too technical for the layman. A good book to have, but you'll never read it entirely,...

Renewable Energy: Power for a Sustainable Future, Second Edition Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I used this book as a primary text for a course on "Energy & the Environment" where we dealt with all current and future methods of energy production and their effect on the environment.This book is by far the best and easiest to read, whilst still containing accurate and complete information and...

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Great product. I bought a used book, but it was like new. It had no marks, no tears,and no highlights. I was very satified with my book and the money that I paid for it. The shipping of the product was not bad at all. Thanks AMAZON!!Click Here to see more reviews about: Business CommunicationThe ability...

Fashion Design Drawing Course Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Unlike other fashion design books, the authors do not teach figure drawing and clothing. They start out with a visit to a museum where you need to gather information, then find a theme and make four sketches. The individual lessons build upon each other so that the beginner can easily follow. The authors...

Cultural Dimension of International Business, The Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Throughout this book Ferraro takes on the idea of being a theoretical observer of different characteristics that the typical North Amercian has in comparison to the rest of the world. He takes these dfferences and applies them usefully to the area of International Buisness. The book goes through many...

Oxford Information Technology for CSEC Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)The book was really tailored for the new IT syllabus. I really appreciate its concentration on the Problem Solving and Programming areas. I believe that this is a text book that the students can actually work with and use in their private studies. The examples are straight forward and it explains topics...

The Future of Music: Manifesto for the Digital Music Revolution Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This is a case of a lot of filler to make what could be communicated in a short essay into a book. The basic message "The music industry has to embrace digital technology." This and a few other salient points are made early in the book and then repeated with different wording ad nauseum. I would suggest...
