So many statistics books that claim to be introductions are not. This one really is. It is clear, with just the right amount of detail. Read this book first before reading other books on multiple regression.

I'm a film buff and have read lots of histories of film as well as books about how films are made and this one is far and away the best. It is a fully detailed, extremely well written account of all phases of the movies--from the magic of movies to the business of movies. A particularly interesting feature is interviews with people in all aspects of the movie biz from producers, to screenwriters, to directors, to editors, to cinematographers, to casting directors and so on. It's also thoroughly illustrated....some of the stills are priceless. This is simply a "must have" addition to any serious film library.

The authors use a step-by-step approach for forcusing on the creation of meaningful ritual in modern life. A must read for all those interested in crafting their own spirituality.

Being a leader isn't enough, you have to know what you're doing. "The Art of Strategic Leadership: A Proven Approach to Optimizing Your Organization" is a leadership book advocating common sense and strategy when it comes to leadership. Looking to tackle such issues such as dealing with internal conflict, identifying problems, going in the right direction, and when to realize that sometimes that everything is fine. "The Art of Strategic Leadership" takes a scholarly and intelligent approach to business leadership, a top pick.

A seminal work of value both to artists and photographers. Beck was a professor at the Pratt Institute in NYC for over a decade in the early 19 century. He was widely known for his portrait skills. Later on he developed a unique "starch-painting" method that he used from the 20's to about the 40's. He is arguably one of America's great unknown artists.
This book is still coveted today by serious artists.

This is a great easy to read succinct textbook for colorectal surgery! A MUST HAVE for Fellows especially. The photos and diagrams are great! It is well organized and each section is authored by the experts!

I bought the whole 2007/2008 Harlequin Blaze series - so it should be a steamy summer !

This is a most marvellous putdown of modern suburbia, of the baby-boomer generation, and the way children are brought up today. On a bookshelf, it should stand right next to the "Stepford Wives" as an explanation of the next generation

All I can say about this album is ... "whoa!" I've been a Beck fan since Mellow Gold and have seen him twice in concert and he NEVER fails to amaze me. The album lyrics are written by Beck and the music is by Beck and the Dust Brothers (except for the song "E-Pro" which was co-written by the Beastie Boys (more geniuses) and "Go It Alone" which was co written by none other than Jack White. Does it get any better than that? I think Beck is the most creative and original artist out there and this CD is amazing. You'll find yourself playing it over and over again.
