I had to get this book for one of my classes at UCF. I really enjoyed it. I improved my resume tremendously by reading one chapter. I have performed informational interviews with hiring managers and her book rings true. I would recommend this book to everyone, especially college students about to start in the job force or anyone that is looking to change or advance their career.

A first rate professional book. It deals with complex issues in a clear, intelligent and original way. The book offers a lot of added value to both consultants and managers. I find myself leafing through it many times, never failing to find new insights. The book contains both a thorough theoretical analysis and practical tools and concrete tips for dealing with tough issues that impact organizations, such as power, accountability and the "positional trap" . The book is full of inpiring insights on the possibilities of making organizations more robust through empowering people. After reading the book, we cannot help it but seing systems in a new and refreshing way.

This book is a must for young professionals starting out in their business careers. It's also a good buy for seasoned professionals who want the occasional refresher in business etiquette. Read it from cover to cover, or use it as the occasional reference....all of us can stand to add more polish in our interactions with others. Consider it the perfect gift for a new college graduate, or a subtle hint for someone at work.

IF YOU ARE A PERSON THAT EARNS THEIR LIVING AS A RESIDENTIAL REAL ESTATE PROFESSIONAL, YOU NEED THIS BOOK! PERIOD!

It is a wealth of information which includes sample letters to clients, forms, clauses, etc.

In my opinion, the VALUE goes way beyond the COST of the book.

This is an indispensable reference for professional geologists as well as amateurs. Some terms that have fallen out of use are defined with obsolete concepts, but those do turn up every now and then in both amateur and professional contexts. No doubt it needs to be revised soon. However, most of us have a copy and many of us need it.

This is the Textbook for the Embalmer. Every apprentice and Funeral Director needs this book,even if they are not active embalmers. Professional embalmers readily have this text available. Most have this book tabbed and referenced for use. This book should be read before entering the preparation room. This book should also should not be read by the general public and needs specialized instruction. Many Embalmers will tell you that experience is a better teacher. I disagree. Recently I went through this book. Funeral Directors should refer to this book in their written notes about problem cases. They are the Experts and should always use the professional skills outlined here. Of particular utility, for both arrangers and embalmers is the section on drugs and embalming.
This book+experience=the professional embalmer. A good rule for the general public is to ask if this book is available, to their embalmer,IF THE FAMILY MAKES THE EMBALMING CHOICE. Often neglected is the excellent, technical section on restorative art.

Unless you are already a professional, you will undoubtably find some tip in this book that will prove invaluable to making you a better Photoshop user. I have used Photoshop for many years but most of my knowledge was self taught or came from tips I had received from friends or seen in magazines. Most of Kelby's tips I had never seen or heard about before, and I would definitely have never figured them out just from playing around in Photoshop. These are tips using functions buried deep in Photoshop settings that an amateur would probably not understand, but Kelby describes them in easy to follow steps and the results are amazing.

Two of the more notable tips I picked up were image sharpening without creating additional color artifacts (by using a channel in Lab color mode) and also using Lab color to punch up dull color as a result of overcast lighting. Comparing two edited images from what I learned from this book as opposed to what I knew less than a week ago, I can truly see the differences.

You won't need to dedicate hours to reading and studying this book; simply choose an effect that you wish to learn from the Table of Contents and apply that effect to your image. This book will truly make you a better Photoshop user overnight!

I have been involved with application security assessment for the last 3-years and this book has brought an immense amount of knowledge to my everyday practices. Not just by an explanation of the particular tool but a proper step-by-step guideline to execute and understand its parameters in pen-testing environment, makes this book stands out of the crowd.

I would highly recommend it for those professionals looking to build up their intelligence within the scope of network and application penetration testing.

An excellent manual for many professional fields. With lots of statistical examples mainly for psychological field, but still very useful. I'm consulting it for a paper on development and emergency projects and it clarifies my work for every chapter.

This book is one that goes the extra mile to address working DBA issues. As a DBA manager I needed a book that went into subjects of hardware, data modeling, technical writing, and many others that you CAN'T find, especially in Book on line. The book is a must for DBA's to understand their complete role. The included CDROM is completely different than others, for it contains support documentation that has helped us define much of our needed standards, policies, and procedures.
I disagree with the two individuals who mentioned the Books online issue.  Books on line does not discuss the complete role of a DBA, hardware skills, technical writing, what is expected of you when starting your position, interviewing for a DBA position or interviewing a DBA candidate, and much more.
The book is a must.  Get it now!!
