Introduction to High Energy Physics (3rd Edition) 8 reviews
Donald H. Perkins
Addison Wesley, 1987
Introduction to Experimental Methods
+ Be prepared before reading this.
As many previous reviewers have already pointed out, this book is not nearly as good an introduction to theoretical high energy physics as Griffiths' "Introduction to Elementary Particles". The primary reason for this is that Perkins' book was never meant to be read as a theoretical course in the ...

Perfect for Advanced Users!

+ An excellent reference source for Excel applications.
In the section where I work, everyone uses Excel, but outside of entering data and applying a couple of formulas / formats, they are generally clueless as to Excel 97's power. Just two weeks of toying with different things listed in this bible have made me the department guru! As others have ...

Mastering Regular Expressions, Second Edition 124 reviews
Jeffrey Friedl
O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2002
Great book, but little Ruby
+ Best material I have seen on regular expressions
+ Very in-depth
This book is great if you want to learn about what you can do with regex, how they work, how you can improve them (efficiency & accuracy) and what kind of pitfalls there are.
My only gripe is about the Ruby reference on the cover. In the top right corner it says: "For Perl, PHP, Java, .NET, Ruby ...

This book fills the gap (hence the name "Using...". I personally recommend Zsh if you are looking for the most comprehensive ...
