First the book looks good.  Nice cover, good binding.  Very thorough coverage of walk through.  Good exposition of multiplayer maps and even pretty good coverage for Spartan apps even though the full set of missions wasn't available at time of publication.

At more than 1,000 pages this book has a comprehensive coverage of all the categories within the CISSP.  There are practice questions at the end of each chapter.  Also there is a CD with practice questions.

This is an extremely comprehensive reference; I haven't yet come up a with a grammar question that it doesn't answer.  However, I do want to warn prospective buyers that this book is a reference, not a textbook.  The information is densely packed, and assumes that you are familiar with grammar terms in English.  If you don't know the difference between a gerund and a participle, or what a "non-restrictive relative clause" is, finding what you need from this book will be difficult.

I found the book to be very well-organized.  The material is comprehensive and easy to follow, step by step, with clear examples.  I was particularly interested in the sections related directly to the formatting and design of eBooks.

This can be used equally well either by an individual for self-study or as a key text for a course or class.

Very helpful and highly recommended.

A  comprehensive and outstanding resource for both ADR practitioners and those seeking an understanding of the workings of ADR.

While this book's title sets its target audience to ADR practitioners in the Family Dispute area, it is a very comprehensive and substantial resource for any ADR practitioner, mediator, trouble-shooter or consultant.
It provides valuable insights into the both the dynamics of family conflict along with the working of the core dispute settlement process and where these two meet.  Yet, the reader does not necessarily have to operate in the family dispute resolution arena to gain valuable insights.  The material can be integrated into general and commercial ADR practices.

 It is very readable and digestible.

Very good reference with extensive explanations of all aspects of sound reinforcement.  From the fundamentals of audio to the exotics of digital signal processing, this book has it all and continues to be updated.

There is a wealth of information in here.  Very good, patient explanations with pictures and examples galore.

The exercises are numerous and quite thoughtful.  (The author frequently even tells you what the goal of the exercise is -- this has motivated me to pursue 'unassigned problems' that I otherwise wouldn't have done.)  Solutions are available to most of the exercises.

I really like this book, though it requires considerable patience to get through as there is so much stuff in here.

This book is the most complete and comprehensive source of information on Damanhur that I have come across. A must read for any person interested in knowing about this community in detail. What's more, it is in English which is ideal for English speaking people interested in Damanhur, because currently English info on this community is relatively limited.

Having recently lived at Damanhur for one month, and also considering moving there, I was interested in known as much as possible about the community on many levels. Speaking almost no Italian I found it hard to get detailed information on Damanhur from the people there. Not because they are not helpful (quite the opposite) but simply because there are so many people, spread out over a wide area, and each informed person deals with different aspects of the community, and many don't speak a lot of English. Simply put, getting a clear picture of Damanhur (the people, the history, the way of life, etc. etc.) was proving slow to say the least. After one month I knew little more than I had already obtained from Damanhur info on the Internet.

This book came to the rescue. Big time.

It covers a broad range of topics related to life at Damanhur. Such as the artwork, the temples, their social structure, how it came to be, the founder, their spiritual views, their rituals, their economic structure, the Seven Ways (spiritual paths for those living in Damanhur), and many other topics.

I found this book to be both thorough in its exploration and very objective. The author has conducted many interviews and part or full transcriptions of many of these are included in the book. The book also has 8 full page colour photos and many black and white photos throughout.

If you are interested in knowing more about Damanhur in detail then this is the book to buy and read. ALso, beyond just learning more about Damanhur, this book is a must read for any person interested in Intentional Community. Perhaps you wish to live in one or start one? Damanhur is most certainly one of the most successful and longest standing community projects I know of in the world and therefore has a lot to offer in terms of how to go about establish a functional and long-term community.

If this book and its topic matter is something which interests you (especially if the colour photos in this book leave you begging for more) then I think you'll also be pleased to read:

If you have not already taken a look at the Temples of Humankind website, go to [...] and take a look. If you can get to Italy to see them in person at Damanhur, I highly recommend it.

Any beginner or intermediate learner, who wants to be enlightened on the basic mechanisms of both computer and its peripheral devices, would be laying a good foundation by starting with this book. Without compromising its concise outlook, the coverage of this book is as comprehensive as it is illustrative. Its updated chapters are well-appreciated, although that anyone who currently owns the seventh or even the sixth edition would not be missing much by sticking with either editions.

Despite being labelled "How Computers Work", the contents of this book are not limited to PCs. They covered other related issues like: Networking, Multimedia, Printers, Software, and so on. Detailed explanations, which are frequently complemented by high-resolution graphics are abundant. This book literally takes its reader into the 'engine room' that keeps a computer running. It is an impressive virtual tour on paper!

However, if you are an advanced learner, this book will be of little use to you. In fact, there is hardly anything in it that any self-respecting advanced learner has not come across. Likewise, Apple/Mac stalwarts need not invest in it. Its focus is entirely on the PC: with no room for Mac.

All-in-all, the uniqueness of this book is plausible. It is a welcomed advantage. Every PC component, as well as peripherals, are laid bare. It is a resourceful hand-holding tools for beginners: a worthy and dependable guide for any novice.

Super comprehensive, and great book for those who want to know what's really going on. Understanding is key, and this has helped me sow more word-seeds into my life and realize the value of that. Plus a lot more. Santo has done his homework.

This book is a wonderful, comprehensive collection of essays covering a wide variety of topics integral to an understanding of the "art" of negotiation.  As a litigator, I find myself spending a large amount of time in negotiations.  I picked up this volume because it came highly recommended by a friend of mine who has been involved in the field of negotiations for several years now, and I can only echo my friend's recommendation.  The book is organized into topical chapters, all of which can be read independently from one another and are written in a manner that makes the information, research and theories easily accessible even for relative newcomers to the field of negotiations.  Most importantly, this book is geared towards giving readers not only the tools to become better negotiators, but also to explain why and how these tools are successful - information that I believe is critical to one's ability to effectively implement negotiating techniques based on the specific situations and people one encounters.  Of particular interest to me were those chapters that deal with the more psychological aspects of negotiations, such as importance of gender, emotions, identity and culture; topics that are key to an understanding of interpersonal relationships and all too often are either ignored or only superficially touched upon.  I highly recommend this book to everybody interested in educating themselves about the topic of negotiations - and becoming a better negotiator along the way.

Handsomely produced on slick paper, this volume is a bargin--really 3 books in 1.  First, it is exhaustive overview of the major types of electoral  systems in use today, outlining their respective advantages and disadvantages.  Secondly, it is an almanac of the electoral systems of the world's democracies (including a fold-out map, examples of different types of ballots from around the world, a glossary, a bibliography and an index).  Lastly, it's a compilation of case studies of various countries that have recently implemented or changed their political system.

The committee of authors does a commendable job of steering a neutral course between the competing types of electoral systems, while stressing that some systems work better than others depending on the relevant circumstances and objectives.  This book would be invaluable to anyone seeking to understand or consider changing their country's electoral system.
