A good read for goats, but has a lot of anecdotal information. There is a fair bit of opinion in this book, which a new goat owner may take as fact. I would recommend this book to a new goat owner, but would also encourage the purchase of another book. Not any one in particular, just another by a different author, so that you can see what's opinion, what's anecdote, and what is fact. Granted, I do not think anything contained in this book would harm your goat if you followed it strictly, but it's nice to k now there's more than one way of doing things.

There are also a bunch of plans and instructions in here for building goat things, as well as recipes for goat meat and goat milk. Very interesting tid bits I was not expecting when I ordered it.

There was a lot of good info in this book. The author provides a lot of the science behind stress. I like that she doesn't try to say all stress is bad, but explains how it's perceived and how it can be bad.

There was a whole lot of tips of how to deal with stress. I assume that is why most people would pick up this book. So if you're interested to learn techniques of how to diminish or eliminate stress, this is definitely a good one.

The only reason for four stars instead of five is the formatting. Overall, the book is organized well into different sections, but some of the formatting seems a bit off, which makes the reader have to work a little harder to divide the sections themselves.

Its a Bottom Line book. Lots and lots of information. I got it used and it was worth the price. Shipping was quick.

Agreed that some of the information is a bit outdated, however, having said that, it's nothing terribly major.  PACKED full of alot of information.  This book covers a wide array of Search and Rescue issues which are related through stories and re-told accounts of various rescue situations encountered by the author and others.  Overall, a great reference book worth reading.  Not something you're going to keep in your pack and haul around the hills though.

I got this book for a class and I'm about halfway through it now. It's a good book. I like the way the information is presented and it covers a lot of pathologies and strategies. It also gives some real-world stories and things to consider.

I learned a lot of useful bits from this book. I also learned that there are a lot of unknowns and most of the stuff I read and hear online and in articles is mostly marketing and hype. Some of the information is also useless to me, but still interesting and entertaining. Just for the practical pieces of information alone it was worth the buy.

I'm still working my way through this, but so far have enjoyed the book and taken some good tips out of it.  I did a fair amount of reading/research on the web as I was taking up weight lifting several months ago.  I found some pretty good stuff, but nothing as concise and as densely packed with information as Starting Strength.  Even though there's a lot of information presented, it doesn't seem to overwhelm me.  Helps that I'm taking it nice and slow (which is why I haven't finished yet).  I actually don't think that I'll do the Starting Strength programming, but that's a relatively small part of the book anyway.  I got it for the instructions, and I believe that it's something I'll reread pretty regularly to re-learn some aspects I've forgotten to pay attention during my lifts.

Lots of good information!  Writing style makes it slow going,  but worthwhile reading.

A LOT of information to digest, otherwise I would have given the book five stars.  A lot of ratios, a lot of percentages, over and over again.

It's solid.  It has a "cookbook" feel to it, which I like.  What I mean by that is that the book dishes out info in a succinct way and covers pretty much what you'd like to know when building an app. Things like, prepping the xml description file, accessing the local file system, connecting to remote data, interacting with the OS. Good stuff.

I don't like how short it is, about 300 pages. The text is big, has lots of pictures (this is good but it inflates the page count), and a few tables that I thought were unnecessary.

If you are competent in Actionscript, but don't know much about AIR, this is great.  I'm an advanced ActionScripter, so this book really just fills in a few holes I had about AIR, and will serve as a good reference when I need to be reminded how to say, move a directory on the users computer or how to set the window chrome of an application.

This is a pretty good information guide.  There is a lot of information in here...much of it I was familiar with as I go to a nutritionist, but it was an easy and informative read.  I think the average person who does not have a lot of knowledge about food and nutrition would get a lot out of this set.  Overall, I like the ebook, but I can't give it the full 5 stars as it is not mind blowing.
I received this for free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.  All of the opinions expressed above are one hundred percent my own.

This is a good book it covers a lot of information, It covers a lot of information that can be applied to large scale jobs or small. Take what information you need. There are some good organized work sheets in the book, but also a lot of excel stuff. There is information on basic estimating of materials, ie: concrete, paint, studs etc but most of the book is geared at larger scale projects for a GC. If you want a straight up estimating book for materials there are better options. Perhaps the reference book Construction Estimating Professional Reference (Dewalt Trade Reference) Residential Remodeling and Repair Professional Reference
