Interactive Books

An excellent, in depth, treatment of this topic. Her framework addresses "core activities within a task landscape," ie, dealing with large amounts of information, finding your way through the analysis & making sense of the results. Then she presents case studies applying this framework to different fields, including the design of a visualization tool.

Provides frameworks for exploration and discussion of designing for usefulness. Due to the youth of the field it doesn't provide complete solutions or processes.

Brings together, organizes articulately, and effectively cites authoritative resources.

Provides a strategic framework for modeling users context/work at a process vs task oriented level.

Has relevant examples of complex situations that address meaningful issues for users

Why just read about where people traveled? Make your own map of it! This is such a wonderful product, I wish there was one for World History so my children could visually follow Alexander the Great or Marco Polo on his journeys at younger ages.

This is not a difficult craft book, it is quite easy and well worth it. My 7 year old daughter loves it.

The day after I received this book I used one of the ready made activities in my fifth grade classroom. The kids loved it! I like the fact that it incorporates visual, auditory, tactile and kinesthetics into teaching history. Also a great value - this book was twice the price at a local store.

My professor intended this book to be a reference for the microbiology course he taught. I personally found the book to be so interesting and well done that I just dived right into it, and still find more new things each time I crack it open. As a dual Biochemistry and Microbiology major, this book is going on my reference shelf.

This book is both fascinating and broad enough to be reliable as a reference. Can be picked up and flicked through or read topically. Rivals Madigan et al. Excellent illustrations and on the right level for undergrads.

I found a quote on the back cover of this book that was so strange that I had to share with future readers. "In a perfect world, you would have been born into a German-speaking family!" How curious! I think the obvious irony was lost on the author or the blurb writer. It is only by the grace of God that we never got that "perfect world". I still think you should buy the book.

An excellent reference to German grammar.
Does not teach the language per se, but an invaluable resource for grammatical questions.
If you want just phrases, then this book is not for you, but if you want to compose your own sentences, then it's a must-have.

Very well organized, too, unlike many books I've consulted.

The CD is pretty good, too - many fill in the blanks type exercises testing your knowlege of declensions, conjugations, prepositions and so on. Most phrases have sound files, too, so you can hear them to check on pronunciation.

I found the structure of this computer based guide to technical analysis to be very userfriendly and interactive. After learning about an indicator I could "see" how to use the indicator and even better than that I could tweak the parameters to perform my own technical analysis on provided data. A unique book worth it's price.

The main thing about this CDROM book is that it enables you to try your hand at the patterns and indicators as you read about them. The coverage of techniques and indicators is fairly wide, though somewhat thin at times. I like the use of pop up pictures in place of the lengthy text descriptions found in paper based books. It also has excellent quizzes with scenarios based questions -- which are very useful for building day trading skills. The dynamic visuals and interactive bits make this book more interesting than its paper based counterparts and worth the price.

the online version of the book allows you to regenerate questions. there is an detailed explanation of the answers as well as hints. the text is easy to read and understand. recommend it for all levels. a must have if you are taking statistics..........

The importance of this book is the interactive CD...and even better the alternative interactive website. For one who is new to statistics and for those in the social sciences this is a very worthwhile purchase and the practice exercises (which you can redo as often as needed to gain proficiency) is the best feature.

The text book was in mint condition and shipped very quickly. The difference in price with used versus new was $100 plus dollars. What a Deal.

This book offers everything a college algebra textbook should offer. Very well written and concise explanations. Highly recommended.

I've taught Intermediate Algebra for the past 5 years, and this is the best Intermediate Algebra text I've ever seen. The sections are clearly organized with many more worked examples than in most textbooks. The problems sets are excellent also. You won't find anything better in Intermediate Algebra: I've seen the rest, GO WITH McKEAGUE CAUSE HE'S THE BEST!

This text book starts at the beginning, with each lesson progressing a step further. The language and examples are clear. Particularly noteworthy are the study guides. Follow them faithfully, keep plugging away, and you WILL master Algebra!

This is the clearest explanation I've found on copyright and fair use. Copyright laws make no sense to me, but this book breaks it down in digestable chunks.
The examples really help, for the most part they were actually interesting and sometimes funny. The exercises were good too especially on how to find Public Domain pictures and sound. I can't say that I will ever really understand copyright laws but at least I get how to use somebody else's files now.

This book provides the high level overview and the wonderful in-depth study of the IPTV world.

This book provides a big picture about IPTV. It has lots of diagrams and it is easy to read and understand.
