It is an introductory book to Linux. It provides an overall description to Linux with some explanations of the kernel and the various distributions. I recommend it as a book to provide a basis for further explorations into Linux.

I'm told this could have been a little more specific inasfar as guidance; however, it's based on the author's experiences and one soon understands that it's necessary to apply the information to one's own life.  Once that light bulb goes on, it's a good read and a helpful work.  It's also very short, and that helps a lot with motivation.  :o)

I thought this book provided an excellent foundation of types of cancer, types of cancer treatments, effects of cancer and cancer treatments and building/tailoring your exercise prescriptions to pts/survivors. It is easy to read/follow and reiterates important parts consistently throughout the book. It is general and you will need to build on the knowledge given with continuing education and experience. Overall, I thought this book was very useful to attain a base knowledge and put it into action., It will only aid your personal training.

As a theoretical framework, this book is a good tool for reframing ideas and attitudes toward teaching, leading, and working with school publics.  The authors do state that they conclude that the relationship between the school and those entities outside it must be restructured and make no claim to a cookbook or how-to approach.  However, there was little in this volume that made me say, "I never thought of that before." I did not feel that the reading was tedious, but I was able to interupt my efforts easily.  There were many useful reminders about what my profession is currently doing for, and more importantly, not doing for kids.  I could see the attitudes and assumptions that I am restricted to by an educational system that is more suited to the late 19th century.
Cited works were amazingly simplistic.  For example, the summation of Ruddick, et al, 1997 on pages 93 and 94 explained that students responded to teachers who: enjoy teaching the subject, enjoy teaching students, make lessons interesting and link them to life outside school, will have a laugh but know how to keep order, and so on. I hope I am not being nave in assuming that we (teachers, parents, administrators, anyone with common sense) already know this and strive to perfect it.
I find it difficult to identify an audience that would truly benefit form reading this book.  Perhaps parents would profit from the identification the more intricate dilemmas that educators face in the current climate of education today.  The book does make a case for change.  Perhaps that is the most important message.

The book "how to write a bestselling self-help book" is helping to implement my goals. The book have given me a lot tips about books, proposal and other issues about how to write a book. It is useful tool. I'm writing three books (by children phases) for self-helping how to raise a child, because I know that we don't need to be a PHd to raise one.

This book was useful in planning, evaluating, and implementing a
thematic unit.  However, it would have been helpful if they would have provided more examples of thematic units.  In addition, I would have liked it to be a hardback book so the book would last longer since it is a book that one can easily go back to for reference.  Being a workbook type the book may not last as long.  Overall this was a helpful book with my thematic units.

Principles given in this book are easy to understand. I find that there is a lot of information to process and one tends to get more out of it by reading again and then some. I would rate it as excellent.

This is an overview of the actual book Homegoing. Kind of like an abbreviated Cliff's Notes for the FULL book. It provides a potential reader enough information regarding the books content to determine if we want to invest the extra money and time to actually buy and read the entire book. This book is a novel about the African 'Slave Trade' which takes place in the late 18th Century. Instaread's outline of the characters & plots will provide you with enough background to determine if the 'fictitious' novel is one that would be of interest to you personally.  ofAt .99 cents, this summary is a good value, which is one of the reasons I have personally found Instaread to be a useful service.

I like the book to a point, and perhaps for a young child who is struggling to understand his/her language difficulties, it would be a good introduction.  The downside is that the problem in the book is solved so quickly that it doesn't ring true.  But again, as a way to help a child start to feel not so alone in his/her situation, this book may be just the right place to begin.  The cover and illustrations are beautiful.

I bought this book to use as a course textbook but I will be keeping it to use as a resource for telling stories to my grandchildren.  I recommend its ease of use to parents, too.

I like this book because it tells it like it is. However, there are things that it talks about that I don't understand. The author assumes that the person reading understands the terms they use. It needs to explain those in a little more detail. There are helpful tips on how to stay organized and stress free and I NEEDED that lol. Over all a good book.

I think that the book is a good framework for eating and preparing to gain muscle tone and clean up your diet.

It should be sold as a handbook, as it is broken-down in helpful sections (secrets). I jumped straight to the sections, sorry secrets, that were pertinent to me this week, which were helpful and I will read it in more detail over the holidays.

The strength of this book is it offers many real life cases. It seems like the authors were consultants to quite some number of organizations, and they wrote their experiences in this book as illustrations to their propositions. The authors had also made quite a number of thoughts and opinions in the book, and many of them are quite enlightening and helpful to my own business research.

However, in my opinion, the weakness of this book is the lack of conceptual clarity to folks outside of the field. Throughout the book, it is mentioned repeatedly that the authors wanted to keep it practical. Indeed, there is not much technical discussion on many of the concepts used in the book. The authors just used it when they really need it. It seems to me like the authors might have assumed the audience to be folks who have some basic understanding of the psychodynamic literature. Although the authors included a glossary that defined many of the terms used at the end of the book, many parts of the book are not really clear to me, who is not trained in psychodynamics. And in many parts of the book, I felt like the authors were writing down their thoughts directly without much after-writing edition.  This gives me the feeling that these passages may make more sense to psychodynamic consultants than to managers.

Overall, I give this book a four star rating. This book contains many useful information that one may find useful to one's own research / practices. However, potential readers may want to consider to read some introductory textbooks on the topic before reading this book.
