McGraw-Hill Science/Engineering/Math, 2006 Superb This book is great for self learning!, most of the theorems are explained in a very good way (a little too good and normally a little to hard to understand the first time) the examples are clear and the exercises are neither easy nor difficult (well some of them are difficult, but not all of them). I already had 2 teachers that told me they learned from this book... it's true that almost all the ...             8 Steps to a Pain-Free Back: Natural Posture Solutions for Pain in the Back, Neck, Shoulder, Hip, Knee, and ...54 reviews Esther Gokhale Pendo Press, 2008 Incredible book I purchased this book for my mother who has had problems with back pain for years. She had been to the chiropracter, physical therapist and neurosurgeon with no improvement. After working her way through the book she is markedly improved. Wonderful pictures, easy to follow. I recommend it for all with this problem.             The Black Hole War: My Battle with Stephen Hawking to Make the World Safe for Quantum Mechanics13 reviews Leonard Susskind Little, Brown and Company, 2008 A new rewiring of the brain of physicsts This book tells the story of the "battle" between the author and Stephen Hawking regarding the latter claim that information is irretrievably lost in black holes. This story is the extraordinary account of the paradigm shift that has occurred in physics in the last 25 years. Moreover, the book reads like a novel thanks to the various analogies and the anecdotes concerning the lives and ...             Mechanics of Materials15 reviews Ferdinand P. Beer, Jr., E. Russell Johnston, ... McGraw-Hill Science/Engineering/Math, 2008 good book If this were not a required textbook for my engineering course, I would not have purchased it.

Hibbeler Prentice Hall, 2006 Rating of the 1 st edition book and the author My discussion here is a rating of the 1st edition and the author, Professor R.C. Hibbeler. The first edition is the one I used in my course of study while in college. Granted the book does not offer a lot of complicated examples, only relatively easy ones. But there is a reason. The author wants the student to develop his/her own skills in problem solving. He does explain the material in ...             Kinesiology of the Musculoskeletal System13 reviews Donald A. Neumann Mosby, 2002 Tip-Top This was a text in my master's program, I now work developing education programs for personal trainers and use Neumann's book as a prime reference. The author does an excellent job of describing how muscles function in vertical, upright movements as opposed to how they are often described from a horizontal, supine position on a table. This book is a must-have reference for any fitness ...             Business: A Changing World2 reviews O. C. Ferrell, Geoffrey A. Hirt, ... McGraw-Hill/Irwin, 2007 Easy to read The language is very smooth and easy to read. The illustrations make sense and are relevant.             Fundamentals of Engineering Thermodynamics3 reviews Michael J. Moran, Howard N. Shapiro Wiley, 2007 great text I took a course in Thermo as an undergrad, but I basically just learned how to solve the textbook problems to the point where I was able to pass the tests, but I never got a good intuitive understanding of the subject. My major was EE so one term of Thermo was a required course but not in the mainstream of my studies, so I never needed to understand it in any greater depth. I recently ...             Fundamentals of Fluid Mechanics23 reviews Bruce R. Munson, Donald F. Young, ... Wiley, 2005 A foundation book for the subject In my search for books on engineering and physics, I must say this book is great for those of us garage-gadgeteers that need a little mathematical direction for design. The book is absolutely loaded with picture illustrations that depict the physics/fluid mechanics formulas in discussion. It's hard for someone to grasp concepts when all you have to look at is a bunch of numbers, graphs or ...             Mechanics of Materials (7th Edition)13 reviews Russell C. Hibbeler Prentice Hall, 2007 Best textbook I've ever had Simple, concise, great examples, great illustrations, great problems. The style is: present a topic briefly, derive equation(s) quickly, show 3-4 examples of using said equation(s), give a couple dozen problems, and move right on to the next topic. Thanks Mr. Hibbeler, for making engineering students' lives just a bit easier.             Introduction to Heat Transfer7 reviews Frank P. Incropera, David P. DeWitt, ... Wiley, 2006 Great Book I don't usually write reviews of books that I have purchased but I felt that I had to for this one. Does a great job in explaining the concepts and doesn't leave you lost as it moves through the chapters. It is written clearly and very easy to follow. The answers(not the worked out solutions) are avaliable on the company's website. (....)             Mechanics of Materials20 reviews James M. Gere, Barry J.

Kraige Wiley, 2006 an engineering student Engineering mechanics by Meriam and Kraige provides an excellent treatment of the subject matter, providing that one has all the necessary tools to handle this course. This means to have your geometry, algebra, trig., physics, and calculus internally wired. If not, one has to do the deep reviews, spending time and energy at grasping the basic concepts. Also, if the discussion of the ...             Debunking 9/11 Myths: Why Conspiracy Theories Can't Stand Up to the Facts134 reviews The Editors of Popular Mechanics Hearst, 2006 The Truth is finaly told Debunking 9/11 Myths: Why Conspiracy Theories Can't Stand Up to the Facts this is a great book it go into detail about 9/11 and uses science,facts and common sense to disproves all the misleading and Wrong conspiracy theories .The conspiracy theorie orented liberals (dems) will probably hate this book like the hate hate every thing else that tells the truth             Linked: How Everything Is Connected to Everything Else and What It Means93 reviews Albert-Laszlo Barabasi Plume, 2003 Quite good approach to understand networks. Before reading this book, I didn't know that Networks theories are with us since serveral decades. I'm almost finishing it, but I couldn't wait to write something about the book; specially to recommend you to buy it! Barabasi work is really great. His redaction skills are as good that people without mathematics or science knowledge can understand and deeply learn Networks theory.             Fundamentals of Heat and Mass Transfer21 reviews Frank P. Incropera, David P. DeWitt, ... Wiley, 2006 The book is so good you can teach yourself This textbook is one of the best I've ever used. Incropera and DeWitt do a great job of explaining convection, conduction, and radiation. I have heard that the mass transfer portion of the book is lacking however, I am an ME major so its not an issue. The covering of conduction is especially good, it goes into great detail math wise although its well presented so you don't have to be a ...             Introduction to Quantum Mechanics (2nd Edition)96 reviews David J. Griffiths Benjamin Cummings, 2004 The Best Introductory Text! This book literally saved me in quantum mechanics. Between my professor's willingness to help introduce us students to many of the challenges faced by quantum theory today and this book's ability to quickly and painlessly explain many of the concepts behind QM I actually enjoyed learning this subject. The book not only has great explanations of numerous concepts essential to QM but always ...             Anatomy of Hatha Yoga: A Manual for Students, Teachers, and Practitioners73 reviews H. David Coulter Body and Breath, 2001 Great tool for yogi's and teachers of yoga. I was introduced to this dvd in a teachers yoga class recently. I think it is an invaluable tool for anyone teaching and/or doing yoga. It explains the different "looks" of the asanas and why that is. It will prevent many practitioners from hurting themselves or others trying to acquire a position they are physically incapable of.             The Road to Reality: A Complete Guide to the Laws of the Universe158 reviews Roger Penrose Vintage, 2007 Unique! This is definitely the most comprehensive book ever published on theoretical physics, written by one of the most influential theoretical physicists alive!
