The Complete Idiot's Guide to Speed Reading (Complete Idiot's Guide to)

8 reviews
Abby Marks Beale, Pam Mullan

Alpha, 2008

Excellent Speed Reading Book!!
I've bought speed reading software (Speed Reader X: Speed Reading Made Easy) in the past and found it quite disappointing. Yes, you DO learn how to read faster with comprehension, but you are limited on what you learn. The Complete Idiot's Guide to Speed Reading is extremely helpful in learning MANY new methods to speed reading. It's up to date to include speed reading on-screen, and offers ...

The Complete Idiot's Guide to String Theory (Complete Idiot's Guide to)

6 reviews
George Musser

Alpha, 2008

wide ranging
A chunk of the book covers relativity. Quantum mechanics is presented with its incompatibilities. With these formalities over with, string theory is discussed. There are some difficulties here. Profound conclusions are presented without much background. The conflicting view points get tiresome. There is not much of a climax at the end. But these problems are inherent to the subject ...

Sari Locker

Alpha, 2005

Really gets down to the basics
This is a great book for someone who is clueless or simply wants to review. She mentions lots of great tips for both men and women, interest statistics , and definitions on the sidelines of her book. It was a quick and easy read!

The Idiot Girl and the Flaming Tantrum of Death: Reflections on Revenge, Germophobia, and Laser Hair Removal

33 reviews
Laurie Notaro

Villard, 2008

Notaro in fine form
I always enjoy a good laugh at Notaro's expense. I've read most of her other essay collections and usually find them good for at least an "I can so relate" chuckle, and sometimes even a full-on laugh out loud moment. Flaming Tantrum definitely had some hilarious moments, and a few that fell flat. For the most part, it was a fun read. There was that one chapter about a dying dog - seriously - that ...

Do NOT listen to any bad reviews!!!
OK, I've read some of the less than complimentary reviews & don't get it? This chick is soooo funny & if you are offended, you don't have a sense of humor about life! She gets away with printing things many have thought about but were too concerned about what others think to say it out loud. Some think she's obnoxious, have you READ the titles?? It's part of her own self admitted personality. ...

This is a great book for someone who didn't try to seriously learn music until their mid forties (like me).

The Complete Idiot's Guide to Eating Raw (Complete Idiot's Guide to)

Alpha, 2008

Love these recipes!
After making another wonderful dinner from this book tonight, I decided that I should write my impression of the recipes. I have a lot of raw uncook books, so I am familiar with many recipes and food preparation techniques. These authors seem to have perfected the ingredients for soups and breads, and they really understand the concept of taste. I first made the Sweet Vanilla-Almond Dip - so ...

The Complete Idiot's Guide to Supercharged Kama Sutra Illustrated (Complete Idiot's Guide to)

Al Link, Pala Copeland

Alpha, 2006

Loaded with information
I was debating whether or not to give this 4 stars, but as you can see, i went with 5. I was going to give it 4 stars because of boredom. I thought some of it was boring because of all the background info it gave from the past, but it is a kama sutra book, so it does make sense, which is y i gave it 5 stars. All of the pictures are colored, and theyre a pretty decent size which helps. It really ...

A Must to Understanding Type II Diabetes and Food
This book is one of the best sources of information on understanding how food works in your body, especially for those who have Type II Diabetes, or have the history of this disease in their family. I also bought a copy for my mother, who has Type II Diabetes, and she said it explained more to her than her doctor ever did. Best of all it is easy to undertand and to apply to your life and ...

Jr., Ph.D., Robert A. Donnelly

Alpha, 2007

This is the best book
The Basic Practice of Statistics w/CD-ROM Here's the link to the textbook we use in class. This is my second run at statistics and have been frustrated with our textbook, as it doesn't explain what I need to know. I went to Barnes and Noble and extracted all the stats books written for those of us who don't "get it." The Complete Idiot's Guide to Statistics seemed to be just the ticket for me. ...

required reading in my UCLA Extension classes
I have taught a class called Writing Picture Books for Children at UCLA Extension for over a decade, and I require every one of my students to read this book for my class. It not only presents a broad overview of the field, but also gives specific examples. The book is packed with terrific boxed extras like "Vocabulary Lists", which explain terms from the children's publishing industry; ...

USPS review
We have a program in the Las Vegas mail processing center where we find solutions for better communication with all employees. To our hearing impaired employees, we had training held in our facility by a certified interpreter who taught both craft and management employees to finger spell words and phrases. We were going to order another sign language book to be given by our plant manager to ...

I've done 2 Ironman Triathlons and scores of sprints and 70.3's. This is the best book I have read about how to get started and keep going. It's easy to understand,and most important, correct. Everyone considering doing a triathlon, and people who are in it to stay should make this a must read.

William Melton, Randy Weinstein

Alpha, 2006

Idiot's Guide for an Idiot.
I have a keen interest in music but have no training. I bought the "Idiot's Guide..." hoping to gain some insight into harmonica playing. I was entirely pleased. The authors assume that the reader is intelligent but ignorant of the subject. This book was meant for people like me.

Steven Kerry Brown

Alpha, 2007

A "must have" book for novice Private Investigators
I have finished reading this book, and here are my findings: The book is very easy to read. In some portions, it is almost a page turner, and you could forget you're reading an instruction text. The information is presented clear and accurate, with enough personal stories to put the use of the techniques into context without becoming too "wordy" or redundant. The book does not extensively ...

The Idiot

Fyodor Dostoevsky

Vintage, 2003

is it ironic, or pragmatic?
I had read just two Dostoevsy novel before this - 'The Brothers Karamazov' and 'Notes from the Underground', but lots of Turgenev and some other Russians - Kropotkin, Goldman, .... I also have some connection with Russian people because some of my work colleagues are Russian ex-patriots (one even carries a family name mentioned at one point in 'The Idiot'). Russian naming is difficult for ...

The book was a little more worn that I expected, but still in good condition, especially for the price I paid for it. Very quick shipping, thanks a bunch!
