A genius to hold your hand I am a self-confessed Apple lover and part-time geek. Living in the UK, I was one of the first Brits to get by grubby paws on the original iPhone - a mere 3 days after it went on sale in the US. Of course, I had to upgrade it to a 16GB version when that was released, and again when the iPhone 3G came out. In short, I think the iPhone is a mighty fine phone indeed. As an architecture, the ...             Canon EOS 40D Guide to Digital Photography60 reviews David D. Busch Course Technology PTR, 2007 You can throw away the manual! I really can't say enough good about this book. I have several of David Busch's books and they're all really easy to read with everyday, easy-to-understand terms. This book leaves no stone unturned as it explains every facet of the 40D and it's successful operation. I've gone from taking just average photos before reading this book, to taking outstanding ones by the time I was finished. It ...             Nursing Diagnosis Handbook: An Evidence-Based Guide to Planning Care (Nursing Diagnosis Handbook)13 reviews Betty J. Ackley, Gail B. Ladwig Mosby, 2007 Very helpful This book was so helpful when I had to write care plans for patients. It is so easy to use and takes you step-by-step through the nursing process. I use this book instead of the book required by my school.             Introduction to Algorithms166 reviews Thomas H. Cormen, Charles E. Leiserson, ... The MIT Press, 2001 The best textbook on algorithms, but it is not a programming book. I used this book for a graduate level Algorithms course, and I really liked it. It is packed full of content on a wide range of topics. While this book does provide some high-level implementations of algorithms in pseudo-code, you will not find any examples of how to program algorithms in this book. That's really not what this book is meant for anyways. I found the reading to be easier than ...             New Perspectives on Microsoft Office 2007, First Course, Windows XP Edition1 review Ann Shaffer, Patrick Carey, ... Course Technology, 2007 great seller The book was exactly what I expected. It is very helpful, and I received it quickly.             The Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2 Book: The Complete Guide for Photographers6 reviews Martin Evening Adobe Press, 2008 One of the best books I have seen on digital photography editing I have a common complaint about most Photoshop and Lightroom books: they all go over the same basic information. Information that I have already learned by myself simply by experimenting with the software. How many times can people write the same basic-to-intermediate information on how to organize files, set white balance, adjust contrast, etc.? I am already an intermediate Photoshop and ...             New Perspectives on Microsoft Office Excel 2007, Comprehensive (New Perspectives)3 reviews June Jamrich Parsons, Dan Oja, ...

I highly recommend it!             slide:ology: The Art and Science of Creating Great Presentations11 reviews Nancy Duarte O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2008 AMAZING--not about slides, about mind to mind communication I just destroyed this book with folded pages and ink annotations, so the perfectionists out there may want to order two copies, one for eating and one for sharing. The price is phenomenally reasonable, especially for something that is all color and totally elegant. This is not about powerpoint slides. If anything, it is a very subtle but explicit critique of how retarded they still are (e.g. ...             Steps to Writing Well with Additional Readings Jean Wyrick Wadsworth Publishing, 2007 Writing well is just a step away!

Kurose, Keith W. Ross Addison Wesley, 2007 One of the Best "Computer Networking" by Kurose and Ross is an excellent introduction to the topic of computer networking as it relates to the largest and arguably most important network of them all: the internet. As stated in the title, the authors take a top-down approach that, in my opinion, is very well suited to CS or SE majors who are typically already familiar with aspects of the application and ...             Exploring Microsoft Office 2007 Volume 1 (Exploring Series)1 review Robert T.

I disagree with the previous reviewer BB, who said the book was not for beginners and rated it with one star. He mentions Jennifer N. Robbins uses vocabulary she hasn't defined before. Well, if he's talking about terms like web browser, web server, or link, I ...             A+ Certification All-in-One Exam Guide, Sixth Edition (A+ Certification All in One Exam)128 reviews Michael Meyers McGraw-Hill Osborne Media, 2006 Wow - A Pleasure to read!

Addison-Wesley Professional, 1994 THE design patterns book This book is a classic and doesn't require any further presentations. It is THE Design Patterns bible and every OO programmer should read at least a couple of times. The samples are in C++ and sometimes Smalltalk but that really doesn't change anything even if you are a Java or C# guy. If you are looking for a quick way into patterns I'd recommend Head First: Design Patterns as your 1st ...             Landing Page Optimization: The Definitive Guide to Testing and Tuning for Conversions28 reviews Tim Ash Sybex, 2008 If this book was avaialbe ten years ago, I would be retired by now I am owner of unoptimized website and I found this book to be invaluable.

I highly recommend this book. I also purchased the PMBOK, but only got about halfway through. Crowe's book broke it all down for me. I read the book once, did all of the questions in the book, and did the free trial on the Velociteach website.

I was kind of freaked out because I didn't ...             Web Analytics: An Hour a Day60 reviews Avinash Kaushik Sybex, 2007 Now this is what I call Web Analytics! I can consider myself as pretty noobish in the field of web analytics. I know SEO and usability, but web analytics has always been just looking at the number of visitors and pageviews. Until I received this book, because this book is a real eye-opener for the new comers to web analytics. It totally change your way of thinking about what web analytics is and how you can pull the best out of it. ...              search for books addison-wesley, additional, algorithms, all-in-one, analytics, approach, certification, comprehensive, computing, conversions, definitive, diagnosis, evidence-based, exploring, introduction, introductory, lightroom, microsoft, networking, object-oriented, operating, optimization, perspectives, photographers, photography, photoshop, presentations, professional, stylesheets, techniques books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
