Web Standards, XHTML, CSS--THE Book For Learning
I teach college courses on Web development that emphasize Web standards and usability. This is one of only two entry-level (X)HTML + CSS books that I will recommend to students, and this is THE book I recommend for those who want to get started in the field as an in-depth guide to standards-based Web development, or as an excellent, no-frills reference for your Web development bookshelf.

Lust for life

The Heritage reprints, 1937

Living for Lust
I should have read this biography sooner. I used to be in love with his paintings, and even fantasized that IF I were to travel back in time, I would've married him -- all this BEFORE I read this book. After I read it I found out that there was one such infatuated woman (Margot), and also a tragic unrequited love story that led him to religion and then to painting. Anyone who is creative will ...

Routing TCP/IP Volume I (CCIE Professional Development)

59 reviews

Pearson Education (USA), 2007

The best way to understand the world of IGPs
If any book was ever considered as the MUST HAVE BIBLE for Interior Routing Protocols - then Jeff Doyle's first effort on IGPs is THE book (how many cliché's do you want in one sentence)!! The book goes through at a very even pace - dissecting and describing the majority of both open-standard IGPs (OSPF, RIP and a little on ISIS) and Cisco-proprietary IGPs (IGRP and it's beefier brother - ...

Nothing can describe Java classes better
I strongly recommend this book to all Java users of all levels because no other book describes all classes of java.lang, java.io, java.net, java.util, java.text and java.math packages better. Every class, every method and every exception is explained by very understandable language with good and useful examples. There is no Java language problem you cannot solve with this book.

Outskirts Press, 2008

Must have for mothers!
I couldn't put this book down! Dr. Punger's realistic look at maternity, motherhood and the medical world is insightful, intelligent and amusing. As a woman's health care practitioner, I couldn't recommend this book more. I've included it on the list that goes out to all pregnant moms in childbirth education classes as the book to read to empower you to be the mom your kids need... the mom ...

A Critical Step for a Performance-Driven Organization
This book becomes more relevant every year! For organizations that want responsible employees, it challenges leadership to consider the assumptions that drive traditional HR performance appraisal processes - most importantly those arising from the common `parental' or `patriarchy' model of leadership and organizational development. In this research-based analysis of the multiple purposes of ...

The bears of Blue River (The Standard school library)

Charles Major

Macmillan, 1906

Bears of Blue River - Favorite Book
In 1953 I started first-grade in southern Indiana. My teacher, Pearl Monroe, read Charles Major's 1900 Bears of Blue River to us. She, also, read it to my father in a one-room school house. It was my favorite book. There was one sad part in the book where Mrs. Monroe always cried. She would have an older student finish the chapter. In about 1980, I read it to my kindergarten age son. I also cried ...

The Hollywood Standard: The Complete and Authoritative Guide to Script Format and Style

Michael Wiese Productions, 2005

Very good
I only disagreed with the format used for montages. You don't need alphabetized bullets for each montage sequence. Readers aren't that dumb. Otherwise I refer to it constantly.

You have gotta READ it
The title says it all :) To keep it really short and sweet, learning about C++ templates is really painful till this book came along :) It's my opinion that advanced C++ developers use this book to guide them in understanding and navigating the world of C++ templates. It's simply easy to read and it has amazing clear presentations

The TCP/IP Guide: A Comprehensive, Illustrated Internet Protocols Reference

Charles Kozierok

No Starch Press, 2005

Best book on TCP/IP ever
I bought this book straight from the author two years ago. I has been invaluable to me but then again, I'm pursuing a masters in Information Assurance and before that undergraduate Computer and Information Science. For pros already in the soup, maybe a quick guide would be preferred but I needed to learn everything from scratch (online at that). I also have the Stevens "Bible" but this one ...

A Treasure
I echo all the other reviews on the beauty of this bible. It is the perfect Bible for taking to church - soft, easy to read, lots of room to take notes and a joy to hold. It is also perfect for just reading the word. For bible study you would want a good study Bible such as The MacArthur Study Bible or Life Applications Bible. This bible if purely for reading and writing in and for that it is the ...
