William McDonough, Michael Braungart

North Point Press, 2002

PERFECT!
This book was in perfect condition when I received it and the really cool thing about it is that its WATERPROOF which means you can read it pretty much anywhere-in the shower, underwater, at the beach or even in a fish tank! The book gives you scary insight on how we are destroying our earth and killing ourselves slowly and simultaneously!!!

Reynolds takes us on an enjoyable, enlightening journey of identifying and avoiding "really bad PowerPoint" presentations, replacing them with really good ones!

The Pillars of the Earth (Deluxe Edition) (Oprah's Book Club)1257 reviews
Ken Follett

NAL Trade, 2007

Absorbing historical read
Couldn't put the book down once I started reading it. Loved the characters, loved the building of the Cathedral and I particularly liked how Follet brought the rediscovery of ancient Greek texts such as Euclid into the story. So many things I liked about the book. Sure there was plenty of sex and violence, the story was set in the 12th century after all. Plus I assume we're all adults here so I ...
  
  











  



  
Three Cups of Tea: One Man's Mission to Fight Terrorism and Build Nations . . . One School at a Time1258 reviews

Viking, 2007

Wonderfully written and fascinating true story
This story, about a single person who made it possible to build dozens of schools in Pakistan and Afghanistan for both boys and girls, provides a view into the people and culture of these two countries that is just so hard for Americans to get. If there is a better way for Americans to make the case for freedom, tolerance, and equality, peace, i certainly don't know what it could be.
  
  











  



  
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. ...
  
  











  



  
Adobe Photoshop CS3 Classroom in a Book67 reviews
Adobe Creative Team

Adobe Press, 2007

Great Book for Photoshop Beginners
I previously took a Photoshop class and really did not feel I had a very good understanding of the program. This book takes you step by step through th program. I think I learned more from the book than I did the class!

Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything Across Italy, India and Indonesia1640 reviews

Viking, 2007

Couldn't put it down!
I was shocked when I logged on to Amazon and saw so many snarky, bitter reviews; I expected this book to have a solid five star rating. I do a lot of reading and it not every day that I find a book so engrossing, so honest, so profound, and so funny that I clear my schedule in order to plow through it. To all those mean-spirited reviewers, my question is: if you hated the book so much, why did ...

Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 Hands-On Training20 reviews
Garrick Chow

Peachpit Press, 2007

Great book to learn Dreamweaver CS3
This book makes Dreamweaver very clear, and when I have a question, it is always answered in the next sentence. It is so clear and easy to understand. It has a cd in the back with excercises in it for every chapter. Then the illustion in the chapter will show you how it is supposed to look....just like a text book!! Very well written and easy to follow. I have computer experience but not ...
  
  











  



  
Understanding by Design, Expanded 2nd Edition29 reviews
Grant Wiggins, Jay McTighe

Prentice Hall, 2005

Fresh approach to curriculum design
I've used this book for three years in my graduate Curriculum Design courses for teachers. My students are practicing teachers who have seen dozens of lesson planning approaches and don't need some new theory just for the fun of it. But Wiggins and McTighe present a fresh perspective that doesn't so much replace as reposition traditional approaches. It boils down to what they call backward ...

Great book full of truths.
If you are looking for a book with the main principles about web usability do not hesitate and buy this book. It might be a little bit outdated but 90% of the book is still totally true. Don't miss it!!
  
  











  



  
Photography (9th Edition)61 reviews

Prentice Hall, 2007

Catch-22824 reviews
Joseph Heller

Simon & Schuster, 1996

Great great book
This book is so good, my weak attempt at a review is not going to do it justice. But I'll try. I knew before I was half-way through that this is going to be a favorite and I plan to re-read it immediately. The writing is so fresh, the character studies so sharp, and the satire so relevant in today's increasingly bureaucratic (corporate) society, no wonder it was so hard for me to find a used ...
  
  











  



  
Adobe Illustrator CS3 Classroom in a Book20 reviews

Big Help
Started using Illustrator about two months ago and got lost from time to time and had to spend hours trying to unravel my mistakes. This book is wonderful, it is easy to use and is a big help to the novice. I would recomend it to anyone that wants to get to know the product. Very happy with this purchase!
  
  











  



  
Thinking with Type: A Critical Guide for Designers, Writers, Editors, & Students (Design Briefs)48 reviews
Ellen Lupton

Princeton Architectural Press, 2004

A solid book for type - with a twinge of humor
I like this book a great deal. The next time I have a chance to use this in a class (to teach) I will. There are lots of good examples, the language is clear, and it's not too ethereal or esoteric. I think it's a great introduction to typography and laid out very well.

Liberal Fascism: The Secret History of the American Left, From Mussolini to the Politics of Meaning324 reviews
Jonah Goldberg

Doubleday, 2008

Finally Someone Has Documented the Link between Wilson's "Progressive" Ideas and Fascism
First of all, allow me to say that I have purchased and read this book -- something I believe few, if any, of the negative reviewers have done. This is an important work, tracing the intellectual development of the idea that the all-powerful people's State should always trump the individual and be in firm control of all aspects of the population's culture, education, defense or military ...
  
  











  



  
Non-Designer's Design Book, The (3rd Edition)212 reviews
Robin Williams

Peachpit Press, 2008

Great for the non-designer
I read some of the other reviews in preparing to write this. I am definitely a non-designer but have found a need to learn some design principles. I thought the book was great for its intended audience and probably for more experienced people as well. I have already applied the design principles in my work, web site development, and I re-did my letterhead based on what I learned here. Is it ...
