books by John M. Carroll     books:       Red Grange and the Rise of Modern Football (Sport and Society)4 reviews John M. Carroll University of Illinois Press, 1999 Red Grange is Number One! My father always talked about Red Grange. I never really knew who he was. This book brings everything into perspective. Mr. Carroll captures the essence of Red Grange, but more than that, he makes clear why Grange was the most important college player of this century and how he created the momentum which led to the explosion of pro football             They Rode With Custer1 review John M. Carroll Amereon Limited, 1987 Each Trooper is Recognized I found this book highly informative. It gives the names and tells about the backgrounds of each trooper and civilian involved in the 7th Cavalry. It tells where each one is from, what they did for a living before the Army, where they enlisted, and which officer they served. I enjoy this book so much because it lists one of my ancestors. It's a must for anyone studying Custer, the Battle of ...             Fritz Pollard: PIONEER IN RACIAL ADVANCEMENT (Sport and Society)2 reviews John M. Carroll University of Illinois Press, 1998 The Best Book Ever If you don't know Fritz Pollard you must read this book. It provides insight into him and the people closest to him. It raises your spirits and makes you want to accomplish great tasks. This is an A+++++++ book for any football fan.             Edge of Empires: Chinese Elites and British Colonials in Hong Kong1 review John M. Carroll Harvard University Press, 2005 Outstanding This is a brilliant account of the emergence of particular identities and social structures in colonial Hong Kong. Although focused on this unique British colony, the book will be fascinating to anyone interested in colonialism, imperialism, or cultural identity.             The Nurnberg Funnel: Designing Minimalist Instruction for Practical Computer Skill (Technical Communication, ...1 review John M. Carroll The MIT Press, 1990 The Nurnberg Funnel and Real People I first read this text in relation to problem-based learning. It was referenced as an eclectic way of building documentation. I found the book very interesting and had some follow-on discussion with the author. The point is that documentation should be oriented toward how the users work, not how the system works. Carroll presents sound research to back up his point of view and the text ...             Custer's Chief of Scouts: The Reminiscences of Charles A. Varnum1 review Charles A. Varnum Bison Books, 1987 A Crack in the Shell? Varnum's firsthand accounts are at once interesting and revealing. He tells his tale twice. First, he tells it as Reminiscences. Then we read much of it again as his Testimony at the Reno Court of Inquiry. In either telling, we see much that is now accepted by recent writers. I also sensed there was a great deal he was holding back that lend credence to the Carter allegations of the officers ...             Minimalism Beyond the Nurnberg Funnel (Technical Communication, Multimedia, and Information Systems)1 review The MIT Press, 1998 Worth a look This isn't a comprehensive manual of minimalism, so don't fall into that trap, as a coworker did. It does provide an overview of the principles of minimalism, but I didn't feel qualified as an expert (or even close) after studying it. That said, I appreciated it because it's a collection of papers rather than the thoughts of one expert, and allowed me to explore differing opinions on some of ...             The Benteen-Goldin Letters on Custer and His Last Battle2 reviews University of Nebraska Press, 1991 First person insights into famous events This book is the printing with minimal commentary of letters between Goldin and Benteen. Frederick Benteen was an officer and Goldin an enlisted man in the Seventh Cavalry at the Battle of the Little Big Horn. Correspondence between officer and enlisted man is unique in itself. In the case of first hand participants their direct insights into events is always fascinating. This book does not ...             HCI Models, Theories, and Frameworks: Toward a Multidisciplinary Science4 reviews Morgan Kaufmann, 2003 Constantly amazed at this book Working through this book, I am constantly amazed at the number of topics covered and the depth and clarity of the authors (and in some cases, the entertaining story they tell). There is much important theory that exists in HCI and I have not found a book that does such a wonderful job bringing it, and the proper author to explain it, all together. Previously, it was a chore to track down the ...             Standard Handbook for Electrical Engine, 10th Edition3 reviews Donald G. Fink, John M. Carroll McGraw-Hill Inc.,US, 1969 Excellent book for your EE library I checked out the 12th edition of this book from the library and found it to be an excellent resource. Very informative covering detailed aspects of many areas of EE design. Lots of figures, tables and pictues showing you what equipment and systems look like if you've never seen them before. The 14th edition is very similiar, only larger pages and updated figures and content. This is an ...             Usability Engineering: Scenario-Based Development of Human Computer Interaction3 reviews Morgan Kaufmann, 2001 Very well organized This book is a good reference in many points of the usability process - evaluation, design, and testing. The authors organize chapters in a very structured way that the content is very digestible. At 448 pages, the book isn't meant to be read in a single session, but again, it's a great reference. My favorite part about this book is the fact that it actually has a section on user documentation - ...             Alice's Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Looking-Glass (Rekindled Classics) Rekindled Classics, 2008 On one happy summer day, July 4, 1862 to be specific, Charles Dodgson took Alice Liddell and her two sisters Lorna and Edith on a fateful boat trip along the Thames. The children asked him for a story full of ?nonsense.? And so Charles began a tale about a girl named Alice who follows a waistcoat-wearing white rabbit down a wondrous rabbit hole. He would eventually refine that story and publish it in book form under the name Lewis Carroll ? an ...             Scenario-Based Design: Envisioning Work and Technology in System Development3 reviews John Wiley & Sons, 1995 user interface design i am a phd student and need to search the topic about user interface design.              search for books advancement, adventures, benteen-goldin, classics, colonials, communication, designing, development, electrical, engineering, envisioning, football, frameworks, information, instruction, interaction, looking-glass, minimalism, minimalist, multidisciplinary, multimedia, nurnberg, practical, rekindled, reminiscences, scenario-based, technical, technology, usability, wonderland books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
