Great book for historians. Explains the origins of American academic histories better than any other book I've found. It was very helpful for my lit review on narrative history. I also appreciate that the language and prose are accessible to the general public.

Beautifully accessible from the layperson's standpoint. Concise and thorough in its explanation of the goals and objectives for biofeedback technicians, especially for those who have fully incorporated the use of guided meditations / mindfulness exercises in working with their clients. The whole book is well-conceived and organized, and written in a comfortable professional style. Although written as a textbook for practitioners, this would certainly make a valuable purchase for most public libraries.

This guide manages to be accessible and concise in its explanations while also being fairly comprehensive and encyclopedic in overall scope. The focus on key points (e.g. beat matching) is very good. The author also dives into the issues that a professional DJ needs to consider. For example, he offers sample checklists that any jobber needs to insure are complete before leaving his/her driveway. On the other end, if you want to just learn how to mix up a couple tunes for your party mix, he shows you how to do that, too. You do NOT need to read the book cover to cover to do basic tasks - you can skip around using the excellent table of contents.

The only reason I didn't give it five stars was that I would have preferred it to be a bit more illustration heavy and text light. That said, I still like and use it.

This book is comprehensive and informative. Sufficiently technical while being easy to understand. A great reference and a must read.

Up to date (at least as of 3/18), really comprehensive and very well written. The text is engaging and humorous. A great contrast from those usually bone-dry technical manuals. The authors have a point of view they share about certain technologies and it's refreshing to hear that. It really digs deep into the technical details. It's not a breezy high level view of any of the topics it covers, though that's probably obvious given its page count. It might be the best technical book I've ever owned.

If you want to know more about Brazil for education, business or amusement I can't see why you'd start anywhere else. Comprehensive and well organized information on seemingly all aspects of society, history government, business, agriculture and more is presented in a straight forward and accessible way.

I like the way in which this accessible guide is organized. It is structured such that any particular problem areas may be addressed as needed. This guide is intended to be used in conjunction with the information found in Steel Construction Manual, 14th Edition, and is further complimented by Civil Engineering Reference Manual, or Structural Engineering Reference Manual.

The final chapter consists of a diverse, and challenging set of thirty-seven paractice problems, which mimic the style of questioning that will be encountered during examination.

This guide provides an excellent way to further exam preparation, and alleviate testing anxiety through familiarization.

Very interesting and comprehensive book.  Very readable, for all levels.  I bought it as a reference for my thesis.  This is a subject that can be tricky for objectivity, and while other academics may be more discreet about their views, Green is not afraid to say where she stands, which I appreciate.  I think any reader could become interested by this material; it's not just for those in the field.

Balch's book is much more comprehensive than I expected.  A wealth of knowledge in an easy to access and easy to read format.  I will keep this reference handy as it includes information on every day health as well as more complex health needs.  The book arrived quickly, packaged well and in excellent condition.
