Important work, free on other platforms, not much added value here.

The Philokalia a must-read for anyone who considers themselves a serious scholar of Christianity or comparative religion, and for anyone who wants to explore a perspective on Christ-like spirituality that is largely lost in modern Western culture.  I also highly recommend "Writings from the Philokalia on Prayer from the Heart" (Faber & Faber - used  ISBN 0-571-16393-9) as a companion text that has some of Philokalia Volume 5 - which is not included in this Kindle edition - and I would also recommend Volume 2 of Cavarnos' "Selected Readings" (ISBN 978-1-884729-91-1), which has the remainder of Volume 5.  Although an English translation of Volume 5 has been forthcoming for some time, it is not yet available, and so it is possible to reconstruct it for English-speakers in this way.

It should be noted that the nonprofit Internet Archive has this same Kindle translation as a free DjVU, Kindle, EPUB and PDF download, and seemingly with far fewer typos (scanning issues I suspect) and a much more extensive ability to search, copy etc. the text.  It's a little disappointing that this Kindle edition of a freely available public domain text is not free (or the minimum 99 cents?), while at the same time isn't adding any value to the free text, which is why I've given this version three stars instead of five.

It's my belief that about 90% of what's written in computer books is excessive and unnecessary: there are a ridiculous number of them, they're overpriced, and they spend too much time telling you the obvious.
Given that context, this is a good book by computer book standards, though clearly that's not much of a compliment. What I found most interesting were the reviews and suggestions regarding third-party software (and where to get same). Most of the rest consisted of rather obvious tips on how to use the existing software, of which I found about two to be of use. In other words, the useful parts of this 600-page book was about 50 pages or less.
So if you're really at a loss on how to use your Palm Pilot, go ahead and get this book, or if you can buy it and deduct it on your taxes. Otherwise you're probably just about as well off doing a Web search as forking over ($) for a marginally useful book.

I'm not sure I got value for money when I bought this book. It provides a sensible and fairly exhaustive overview of the rise of the Nazis. But I'm also disappointed. The book contains nothing unique or original. In terms of fact and interpretation it is safe and conforming, and devoid of originality.
Perhaps my standards are unrealistic, or maybe my expectation of a book by Professor Evans, a distinguished academic at Cambridge University, was too high. Either way I don't rate this book as a lofty contribution. It lacks the penetrating analytical touch of Michael Burleigh's similar but better work, and as the first work of a trilogy does not inspire me to think about buying the next two volumes.

Like many others, I bought this because of the Fox News hype, etc. He's a good writer (he's a creative writing prof, I think), but I don't think the book is really arguing for anything NEW. I found it a bit annoyingly trapped between a serious work of scholarship and what verges on historical fiction. There are motivations and sequences that could have benefitted from more of a scholarly approach/citations. On the other hand, it was a lot more fun to read than a dense scholarly tome. I'm on the fence.

Mostly meh. It's well-written, and has some decent stories, but it's very broad, and has very little in the way of actual how-tos. Of course, this a huge topic, so hat's off to Mr. Chan for even attempting to describe the process. But I found little value in the work, overall.

For 0.99 don't expect much. There is very little content that cannot be gleamed from Wikipedia and other internet sources.

A basic google search brings up much more info and is free.  A quick read though and not really expensive.

I ordered this book because I hoped - from the title - that it was a systematic, from first-principles introduction to electromagnetic materials at all wavelengths, by the two well known experts, Profs. Engheta and Ziolkowski. Unfortunately, the title is misleading. They are just editors and the book a recasting of a 2003 special issue of the IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation. The chapters are a collection of individual contributions on a range of research topics of interest primarily to the microwave and radar communities, including aspects of 'doubly negative' materials. For these readers there is a good deal of useful material on a range of fascinating subjects, such as space-filling curve antenna structures. However, I was a bit annoyed at having fallen for the publisher's trick of giving the book a more general title than the actual content would justify, probably in the hope that libraries will order it sight unseen.

Another annoyance is the poor printing quality of this volume, which looks as if it were run off on an office laser printer. The paper is gray (recycled?) and the colors are dull, with lumps of pigment. Some of the figure labels are so crudely rendered as to be unreadable. And this is a $150 book. What we are seeing here is a decline in the traditional business model of academic publishers. Once upon a time there was a steady market from university libraries to support scientific monographs, and professors such as these editors could be sponsored to sit down and write real books. Apparently this is no longer economic, when the readership is so small and so much is available free on the Web. We are witnessing the decline and fall of paper books in favor of electronic documents as the means of knowledge distribution, and publishers like J. Wiley may be headed out of business.

Nice selection. But nothing much of interest to me. One major exception is the very first article on the importance of keeping history in mind in connection with the church, which is a gem.

This "book" is really just a short report with a bunch of other stuff and affiliate links tossed in for good measure.  In fact, the entire purpose of the "book" seems to be to get you to register it and end up on a mailing list.  There's nothing wrong with that in general, but frankly, it is over the top in this "book".

The reason I give it two stars instead of one is that if you were very new to podcasting, then it there is a very simple breakdown of how to get actually get a podcast up and running... sort of.  The actual details on HOW to do it are dismissed as being too complex, which is ok, but for a new podcaster this could leave them with a sense of, "This sounds nice, but how do I actually do these things."

The actual content of the book makes up less than 25%.  There's about 5% introduction, 5% of the book is dedicated in various places trying to get you to signup to the mailing list and 65% is just transcripts of interviews with other people who've done podcasts reasonably successfully.

I would not have bought a book of transcripts which is largely what this is.

Overall, not much value here that a simple four or five page PDF couldn't have delivered.

You can find more information in Wikipedia, this article must be free, really don't buy it, is time and money wasted

You can easily breeze past the self-promotion, self-aggrandizing paragraphs and take away some interesting stories about the triumphs and travails of various brands. But this book lacks the crucial elements that make others in its category worth reading: It doesn't provide the reader with insights that are either inspiring, thought-provoking or actionable. The notion that our buying choices are emotional and that these emotions can be visualized with brain scanning software is neither groundbreaking nor worthy of an entire book.

This book is valuable, because it helps make the point that the humanities (with an emphasis on literature) can perform scientific experiments. But if you're already familiar with basic statistics and experimental design, it won't teach you anything new. It's basically a statistics textbook oriented towards the humanities.

The work here is very superficial.
The project could have been dealt more in depth.

More hype than help. It's ok, but nothing really new here.

Most or all of the information in this eBook can found online with little research, but on the bright-side, it may save some people lots of effort, time and some headache of doing such research. I would say, it's worth investing in this for the price than falling for most of these expensive work-at-home scam out there. What I was disappointed was the lack of resources for each topic or money-making idea. The author mostly gives one to two links to each idea, while I know there some of these topics/ideas had several legitimate sources. It seems like the author may have been holding back some of the sites for future eBook. This is good for those who are new in exploring the work-at-home business.

Just not much here.  I get the idea, but I certainly don't think this is groundbreaking.  Focus on the positives.  The bulk of the book of studies and testimonials wasn't necessary.  It could have been summed up in a magazine article.
Let me say that I hate to knock a book that does present a great and positive message.  But, it is just way too long in getting the point across.
