Great book on the foundations of the UNIX environment
In spite of its advanced age, this book is still relevant and explains many topics better than much newer books on the various flavors of UNIX. Although there are better books on the specific flavors of UNIX available today, no other book does as good a job of explaining the philosophy of generic UNIX and its intrinsic relationship to the C programming language. The book starts out talking about ...

It is not that bad
This is my first semester organic chemistry course. Even though I have been using another book for laboratory "Organic Chemistry Lab [...] by Charles E., Jr. Bell", this book helped me to understand the concepts better (many times the instructor quized us on the reasoning behind an experiment which Bell does not mention). Moreover, Bell's book is somewhat incomplete. For about 25% of the ...

Masterpiece
A masterpiece of Teenage Angst. If you are young, read this to educate yourself at how complicated your emotions really are. Much in the way Russian novelists create their characters, Goethe does the same, but with German flair.

There's a mystery here
I first looked Albert Pike up on the Internet, because my friend, Andrew, told me that as the founder of the Ku Klux Klan, he was the most evil American. Many sources claim that Pike espoused slavery in 1857 while practicing law in Arkansas. And it's easy to find references to him all over the Internet saying that he worshipped Lucifer and had demonic intentions of bringing the world under the ...

The book touched upon every aspect in which a sport management professional in one capacity or another may be inclined to deal with. ...

An excellent teaching (and learning) tool
This is a wonderful combination of some simple chemistry experiments that allow students (such as myself) to gain insight into the experimental world of inorganic chemistry. The laboratory experiments are real, interesting, and also allow the student to think about what is happening, and to apply their knowledge to taking the experiments to a further level. This is an excellent book, and probably ...

The best book I've read on the subject
I've had a bit of a hard time finding books on training the trainer to train and I feel that this is THE book that does it best. I work for a new company and ended up doing most of the training of new employees. I've thoroughly enjoyed it and this book helped me to be more effective at it. I love the 'instructor led, participant centered' idea that he presents. It allows me to treat the ...

Timeless
I read The Last Vampire series when i was 13, which i am now 22, and the story still affects me today. I have to say that this series is still a favorite of mine, and I remember that when i finished the last book I felt an emptyness for it being over, so I read it again. Sita goes through things that no vampire in any other story has gone through (I dont want to ruin it), and it is an emotional ...

Paranormal at its best!
M. Jean Pike creates magic when she writes, and this story is proof of it. Heatherfield is one of the most amazing stories I've read in a long time. I highly recommend it not only for the romance reader, but the mystery, historical, suspense, and paranormal enthusiasts. It's just that good.

Great resource
I have used several of these games with great success. Most are intelligent and fun, unlike several other books I have read. The organization of the book is a little odd but that's only a minor complaint. It's still fairly easy to find what I'm looking for.

Pike does it again!
I grew up reading Pike's books and I have yet to read one that didn't blow me away. This was no exception. The intricate detail in the plot, the twists and turns, really keep you from figuring it all out until it's there. I love the two main characters as well. Matt makes the perfect anti-hero, a villain you'll root for throughout the book. And Kelly makes for a great, flawed agent. I ...
