A good book
I really liked this book. It was comprehensive and clear. I am now, a year or two later, regretting selling it back because I actually could have used its material.

The Psychologist as Detective: An Introduction to Conducting Research in Psychology (4th Edition)

1 review
Randolph A. Smith, Stephen F. Davis

Prentice Hall, 2006

Easy to follow guide to modern experimental psychology
Smith and Davis present a concise discussion of the major facets to research in the field of Psychology. It guides the readers through all stages of the experimental design, from conception through implementation and interpretation. The authors succeed where others fail in conveying their ideas in an untechnical yet methodologically sound manner. It is a more than adequate preparation for ...

Walk This Way: The Autobiography of Aerosmith

Aerosmith, Stephen Davis

Harper Paperbacks, 2003

Incredible!
First, I'd like to state that my favorite books are autobiographies about musicians. That being said, this is probably the best one I have ever read. I bought this book along with three others, and it was the one I was the least excited about reading. But, from the very beginning, this one just grabs you. It's one of those books that you never want to put down. If secrets were left ...

For Dummies, 2008

Excellent
I've read the 2005 version and this 2008 version and all I can say is these guys know their stuff. I've read many books on C# and this is the best book I've read. By programmers for programmers. Outstanding examples and explanations. If you authors are reading this, please write more books. I'd like to request a dedicated book on OOP concepts and class design using C#. Keep up the ...

Hammer of the Gods: The Led Zeppelin Saga

Harper Paperbacks, 2008

Armadillos in their Trousers
I used to listen to Led Zep in high school, and until the release of Mothership and the publicity surrounding the reunion concert I never knew anything about the band. This book was a totally enjoyable read and a good overview of the band's history. I came away with an image of the band members as four vibrant and dynamic individuals. Their story is a fascinating one, and I'll enjoy their ...

This Wheel's on Fire: Levon Helm and the Story of the Band

47 reviews
Levon Helm, Stephen Davis

Chicago Review Press, 2000

This book changed my life.
Today is the day I turn 33 years old, and out of all those years, and all of the books I've read, this one takes the proverbial cake. Birthday cake, if you will. Levon Helm is one of my heroes, and with a little help from his friends, he's managed to write a book that truly takes the reader through time and space to where modern rock was conceived, born, and learned to run like an antelope out ...

Calculus: Early Transcendentals Combined

8 reviews
Howard Anton, Irl Bivens, ...

Wiley, 2005

Excellent Organization
I have read this book thoroughly, more than once, and I have been very impressed. The exercise sets are focused on problem solving and mathematical concepts, such as the book. I have never encountered such a logical formation of mathematical rigor. I am a Physics/Mathematics major, and I have read many mathematical textbooks. I have to say that very few come close to this. Many students in my ...

Stephen Randy Davis, Chuck Sphar

For Dummies, 2005

Fantastic Book!!!
If you guys like me are starting programming with C# then C# 2005 for dummies is the book to buy. It is extremely well explained with great examples, the loopings and object oriented are well explained as well. I purchased about 5 books on C# claiming to be beginners books but they were NOT. Most C# beginner book on C# assume some programming experience but NOT C# 2005 for dummies. By order I ...

Gotham, 2008

Very good biography
Well, as you may know, there a not worthy Gn'R biographies. There are some "fake" ones (which all of us have purchased some time ago...), but this isn't like the others. It hasn't been a very easy band, so to research all this information it is a very good job indeed. I trust in Stephen Davis and I believe this is a very good book (if you are a Gn'R fan). The worst of this book is that it's been ...

The Gist of Genetics: Guide to Learning and Review

Rowland H. Davis, Stephen G. Weller

Jones & Bartlett Publishers, 1997

Really the gist of genetics
In my sophomore genetics class we used two textbooks. One is a 600 pages textbook filled with colorful pictures, the other one is the this book. After I spent hours reading and comprehending a chapter in the 600-pages tiny-font textbook, I turned to the 200-pages large-font Gist of Gennetics. And there it is, truly the gist of genetics. I regretted that I didn't read this book first but instead ...

George H. Davis, Stephen J. Reynolds

Wiley, 1996

great textbook for the student of structural geology
I took structural geology at the University of Washington spring quarter 1997. Book was excellent and contributed to a reasonably good grade (3.3) for the course. Recommend for students or professors of structural geology

Troll Lord Games, 2007

Fast start to run & gun D&D roleplaying.
I started with OD&D and have been away from roleplaying games for many years. And 25 years later, I wanted to teach my daughter and nephew about the world of Dungeons & Dragons and roleplaying games and so then discovered Castles & Crusades! It has all the great elements of OD&D and the benefit and experience of these last 25 years in gaming improvements. It's fast, easy to learn and a great way ...

Calculus, Student Solutions Manual: MV: Multivariable

1 review
Howard Anton, Irl Bivens, ...

Wiley, 2005

Not much better then the text book
First off, this "solutions" manual skips the even numbers. Second, some of the answers are as clear as mud. They made the assumption that you know how to solve many of the problems and just give the answer leaving you to search for help elsewhere. I am no mathematician, however I am sure that I have found at least 2 answers that don't match the question. PLEASE, if you are going to teach this ...

Basic Criminal Procedure (Black Letter Outlines)

2 reviews

West Group Publishing, 2005

An outstanding study aid for any law student taking Crim Pro
This book is an exceptional outline of the law concerning the 4th, 5th and 6th amendments. It is well organized and completely thorough. While I would never suggest to a law student that they ignore reading all of the assigned cases in a particular class; this outline is so well done that you could rely upon it almost exclusively in your study preparation and still receive a good grade. I ...

Bangzoom Publishers, 2006

A mind-bending, if not surreal, parade of TV trivia presented week by week, year by year, era by era. Every single TV Guide cover is shown in true color, from April '53 to the first mag-size issue from autumn of last year. They're arranged as text would be on each page, left-to-right, top-to-bottom and IN ORDER on each page, dated and readily viewable. They even include full displays of all ...

Desirable and Undesirable Characteristics of the Offshore Yachts (A Natical quarterly book)

Stephen L. Davis

W. W. Norton & Company, 1987

Leaves you with more questions
A good well written book with essential information clearly explained. If you know exactly what type of characteristics you want in a boat (performance, safety, etc) then this book will help in finding the right boat though the criteria laid out in the boat by various authors are not easily found or reconciled in one boat design. Will make further investigation more productive to be sure. ...

Kindle Review of The Lake House
I read this book years ago in paper back but re-read it recently on Kindle. Kindle version review: This is clearly an older book when you read it on Kindle - it doesn't have the navigation of the more recent books, books that were actually published with Kindle in mind. There is no table of contents. The typesetting is fine, the pagination is fine, it's just the navigation that presents ...

C# for Dummies (With CD-ROM)

5 reviews
Stephen Randy Davis

For Dummies, 2001

INCREDIBLE COLLECTION OF C# code examples
This book is a MUST for absolute beginners. It contains more code examples than any of the other ten C# books combined (I own the O'Reilly and Wrox books also). Furthermore, the Visual Studio IDE bonus chapter (on the CD in pdf format) is worth the price of the book itself. The principle strengths of this book are the disciplined coding techniques modeled by the author, the excellent inline ...
