This book is an excellent study of the Jewish elderly living in Venice. I had to read it for an anthropology class at UCLA, and, considering it is an ethnography (which are usually dull and straight-forward) it is a really great book! Barbara Myerhoff makes her book extremely interesting to read, especially because of the comical episodes that happen within the context. Her book not only provides ...             Turning Numbers into Knowledge: Mastering the Art of Problem Solving22 reviews Jonathan G. Koomey Analytics Press, 2008 A great primer and reference to fall back on While no doubt I've heard many of nuggets contained in the book over the course of my high school and college days, I found Koomey's book a pleasurable read and useful synthesis of approaches and tips for completing quality research and analyses. Internalizing Koomey's advice is going to help most readers be more discriminating consumers of published research and better authors of their own ...             Accounting: What the Numbers Mean24 reviews David Marshall, Wayne William McManus, ... McGraw-Hill/Irwin, 2007 First class for my MBA I have ordered from Amazon several times for my college books, and they have always been sent in plenty of time for my classes.

As a recent early retiree baby boomer, everything in this book rang true. It's not about the "number", it's about how you spend it and how you need to be prudent in your working years. In addition, the book reads like a novel. I couldn't put it down. Eisenberg's writing is phenomenal. B.

Her guidance was very helpful and truly did reflect what the numbers ...             Number the Stars707 reviews Lois Lowry Laurel Leaf, 1998 The Run Away Struggling through the ravages of World War II, Annemarie, her family, and her best friend Ellen wait in hiding until the Nazis retreat and let Denmark free once more.

My son has enjoyed this book since he ...             Show Me the Numbers: Designing Tables and Graphs to Enlighten26 reviews Stephen Few Analytics Press, 2004 Practical Tufte This book is a gold mine of practical information for the creation of tables and graphs. I really like the Tufte books as well, but have found them to be more general and difficult to apply. Few takes those ideas, adds many of his own and shows the nitty gritty of creating useful charts. I've been looking for a book like this for a long, long time.             The Number: How the Drive for Quarterly Earnings Corrupted Wall Street and Corporate America21 reviews Alex Berenson Random House Trade Paperbacks, 2004 What Might Those Quarterly Earnings Mean?

We really liked it. It is great for practicing not only counting but writing legible numbers, identifying patterns, dot-to-dot activities (his favorite). It begins very simply and slowly gets more advanced, but the kids barely notice it. It was fun for him and he often wanted to do several lessons' worth of work in a sitting... this ...             Angel Numbers 101: The Meaning of 111, 123, 444, and Other Number Sequences7 reviews Doreen Virtue Hay House, 2008 Item being reviewed Fantastic .
