Brooks Books

Thanks for prompt delivery. Need book for school. It is great shape and I am using it right now.

Barbara Tomblin, a U.S. naval historian, was my favorite professor at Rutgers University, and her War, Peace and Military in the United States classes were phenomenal. This book is an excellent portrayal of the nurses during WWII - through good times and bad. It's easy to read, once you start - you can't stop. I hope to read more works by Dr. Tomblin in the near future.

This is the classic text on the psychology of science. It is infinitely more lighthearted than more recent tome edited by W. Shadish and S.Fuller, but it is nevertheless substantial. An easy and educational read.

There is no better way to sit out a snowstorm than with any book by John Brookes on gardening or garden planning. A real treat to me is Country Gardening. Mr Brookes, alto British, has an artist's understanding of garden forms world-wide. Not pedantic, many lovely photos, ideas, plant recommendations. Some confusion over common names but he also provides the taxonomic (Latin) names. Master gardeners and enthusiatic amateurs will appreciate.

Great book! Great pictures. It's the best one out there

This book is a great book for all the Garth Fans out there. The pictures are really adorable and the information is quite up to date. It is very thoughtfully laid out and I think it is worth every single penny. I carry it around with me everywhere. Its a must.

This book is very thorough

While it is almost exactly the same as the online lessons, it is a complete re-write from the ground up. I tried to keep in mind you are looking at a book rather than a computer screen and it has all the niceties of a good manual such as a Table of Contents, Indexes, i think this is the best web tutor book that i never seen.

I am currently taking two biology classes at BYU, both of which use portions of this book, and I have found it to be very straight-forward and useful. Although some may say that I am being preferential since Dr. Fairbanks is a professor here at BYU, I'm not-- this book far outperforms the other texts we have and use, including the much lauded Molecular Cell Biology by Lodish. Dr. Fairbanks's book is well-written, contains clear, concise and easy to understand diagrams and his writing style brings genetics to life. Even a Freshman like I can easily dive into this book and understand the world of genetics. Furthermore, his choice to teach the molecular basis of genetics first is very logical and provides a solid background to later ideas like recombination and epistasis.

What is geocomputation ? To some, a revolutionary way of dealing with spatial data. To others, a collection of known tools under a new brand name. In any case, all of those which are interested in geographical information systems (GIS) will benefit enormously from reading this book, which provides a comprehensive review of this new field. All articles are interesting, but especially noteworthy is Couclelis's state-of-the-art review, with a number of interesting points about the notion of "geocomputation". Important contributions also come from Oppenshaw (he reviews his GAM and GAM/K algorithms), Anselin (exploratory data analysis), Batty (visualisation) and Burrough (dynamical modelling). In short, if you want to know what "geocomputation" is about, this is the place to start.
