This is a great book that I would recommend to anyone with an interest in property investing, there is original material here that I have not seen presented by any other similar author and so offers a unique and very interesting view into the subject.

A link up with the land cycle as identified by Fred Harrison and Phil Anderson would complete the picture and such a gifted original thinker as this author could probably add to their work as well.

After having thoroughly enjoyed the NFP's debut book - End of the Past, I was anxiously waiting for this book (since it was announced few months back) and, therefore, I got my copy of the Book soon on availability at bookstores. I am happy that the book has been upto my expectations. I found this work of NFP to be very well-researched and the way he has shared the surrounding circumstances of various important (yet ignored) personalities of our History (such as Hassan Nasir, Sir Syed Ahmed Khan, Ibn-e-Safi, Iqbal Ahmed, Saghar Siddiqui and many more) is commendable. He also made reference to certain  personalities of other countries and circumstances prevalent over there which have also played pivotal role on shaping of our society and Pakistani citizens who resided abroad in such jurisdictions. By and large, he tried to share the historical facts and on many occasions, refrained from giving any personal comments on certain historical events and personalities and as such, left the decision on the readers (which is very important for any book on history). In my view, it is a very important contribution NFP has made towards the literature on Pakistan history. For anyone interested to understand the way our society and the transformation of State's narrative on Pakistan ideology, this is a must read book and provides a good reference point to do further research on the subject. There were various events or incidents which have already been shared by NFP in his weekly 'Smoker's corner', however, I did find the inclusion of the same (even at the cost of repetition) very relevant in the context of this book. Last but not the least, I really appreciate the contribution NFP has made by writing this important and valuable book.

This is a very good book on the subject. I was looking for a WiMAX reference book and this book definitely does that job. It is at times a little verbose and provides more details about how standard bodies operate than I care for but the material is good.
It starts providing some background on and requirements for a 4G mobile broadband wireless access system, going then to the reference model and the interfaces for WiMAX, going then into detail about each interface. Finally, it goes into detail on the physical and MAC layers, including the security sublayer. I am not a physical layer person but i'm interested in the MAC layer and general system overview. The author does a great job explaining and providing details (sequence diagrams, tables, etc.). Overall, I would recommend this book to anyone working on this type of networks.

Lidwell has written an excellent book that is one of those books that I bought for a college course but I will keep it forever as a reference guide. There are good pictures and the book is well designed and very informative. Well worth the money.

The introduction and background history is very well written and informative. The book is a valuable addition to any pastor's reference library.

Though sold as "Used", this is in almost perfect condition. I was really surprised by the excellent condition. (Noticed that the front was stamped with one of those library notices of "Reference Item" and had the tracking tag in place. Wasn't aware it was a library book (???) The book itself contains a lot of useful information. My favorite section is the one of family and traditions. There is also a lot of information on various religions and holidays that I was not aware of. This is a very nice addition to my bookshelf. Glad I got this one.

It is a reference work by a classic author which is a welcome addition to my library and well worth the free price!

This is definitely an excellent C++ reference book, but in addition it is worth reading straight through either to learn the language or to further familiarize yourself with some of the nuanced of it.  If you're interested in or regularly use C++ and don't have this book, it's definitely worth buying.

This is one of the best text books I've read so far in the field of financial analysis. The book provides most of the tools needed for serious digging of financial data and finding its implications. It's well organizated and well written. The book, however, requires accounting backgrounds to understand and may be a little difficult for beginners. All in all, this can serve a great reference for both students  and professionals, and especially suitable for those interested in fundemental analysis.

As an author, I'm always on the look out for excellent reference materials. This book is one of the few which have been written precise, informative but quite entertaining. The author did an excellent job writing a technical book in such an interesting fashion.

GREAT JOB!

I really enjoyed this book.  I expected to use it primarily to get ideas for my own library.  As I was browsing it, however, a couple of articles caught my eye and I started reading more.  Before I knew it, I was curled up in bed reading it clear-through.  It has interesting articles about different people's libraries, their collections, and a few about collecting in general. Mix in a little bit of history on books and collecting and you have one enjoyable book.

Some of the other reviews criticize this book because it seems to focus on the aesthetics of books.  I must say that I agree that a library is more than how they look but that is certainly part of it - particularly in a coffee table book about home libraries.  After all, I do not think that anyone would like to see photos of my aunt's double wide full of tens of thousands of paper-backs.

So the library of books all covered with white bindings may not be my taste or yours, but it is the celebration of these differences that makes this book interesting and compelling.  My only complaint is that I would have liked to seen a few more average-Joe home libraries.

This is a well written hightly technical specialty book. It is recommended reading for any one interested in the Business Valuation industry and is well worth investing in for your personal library.

I purchased it to enhance my self study for the AICPA exam for certification in Business Valuation.  The other study materials and continuing education courses I took were totally lacking in content and depth.

My only concern is that I bought it right before the new edition was published.  I think I would prefer to have the later edition but was unaware that a revised copy was eminent.

This is a very good book that I have referred back to several times in the years I have owned it.  I'm not normally a fan of books that fall in the realm of self-help or 'how-to', but this book is an exception.  I especially like the lack of fluff and the great use of examples to illustrate points on leadership.  While written by a Soldier who focused on special operations for a career, this book in no way is limited to those in the special operations or combat arms community.  This is a book that should be on everyone's professional reading list.

This book was assigned by my professor for a class I am taking.  However I am happy to report it is a well written source of valuable information, techniques and procedures.  An excellent addition to a professional library.

A very interesting book for its subject, and a very good choice of many  well known authorities in the field.  Its chapters are objective as a  whole, and a good number of references. Worth buying and an enjoyable  reading.
