2.		Cradle to Cradle: Remaking the Way We Make Things from Tantor Media Price: $34.13 Customer Review: This book is a real change in perspective from my usual "we're screwed" environmentalism attitudes. They don't argue for "business as usual" but that eco-products start with the designer yet still depend on consumerism. I agree that grassroots movements and government regulation have their... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

MacArthur Foundation Reports on Digital Media and Learning) from The MIT Press Price: $8.96 Customer Review: The "Digital Age" that we live in has been the subject of many (too many?) books, articles, essays and blogs in recent times.

8.		The Laws of Simplicity (Simplicity: Design, Technology, Business, Life) from The MIT Press Price: $8.15 Customer Review: The Laws of Simplicity is a concise summary of John Maeda's thoughts on design. I found this book to be an awakening of subconscious design principles we already posses. It was not a text book explanation of esoteric theories from an academic. All of the authors 'laws' were related to real world... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


9.		Microsoft Office Project 2007 Step by Step (Step By Step (Microsoft)) from Microsoft Press Price: $18.65 Customer Review: I bought this book for class and the teacher just does everything out of this book.

10.	[no image]	Longitude from ISIS Books Price: $58.50 Customer Review: As a former infantry officer, navigating on terrain in the remote jungles of Panama and South Vietnam before the advent of GPS, knowing where you are was the very matter of survival.

11.		The Elements of Typographic Style from Hartley & Marks Publishers Price: $26.15 Customer Review: Subtlety, elegance, simplicity. As someone once said: "Its simple to make something difficult, but difficult to make something simple." This expression holds true for this book. This book is not for the faint of heart; it is dense with typographic information spanning a wide breadth from history to... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

15.		The Complete Illustrated Guide to Furniture and Cabinet Construction from Taunton Press Price: $25.05 Customer Review: I agree with a few earlier reviewers that this is an attractive book with opaque explanations and confusing illustrations. For me, it brought to mind Stephen Hawkin's "Universe in a Nutshell", a fascinating book of impenetrable text, beautifully illustrated with incomprehensible drawings.more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


16.		Woodworking Basics: Mastering the Essentials of Craftsmanship from Taunton Press Price: $12.72 Customer Review: In the world of a power tool for everything under the sun and instant "craftsmanship," Peter Korn's book does a masterful job of explaining when and how to use the proper tool for the correct job. As a mid-level hobbyist, this book was perfect for my need, explaining how to use both power and hand... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


17.		Information Technology Project Management from Course Technology Price: $8.90 Customer Review: Hi I bought it new because the used ones says book only, etc. wasn't sure what they meant. Basically if you buy new you get a trial of MS Project (which you can get for the same length at microsoft.com) and access to those online tools from the publisher. Honestly, you'll be fine without both... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


18.		Agile Project Management: Creating Innovative Products from Addison-Wesley Professional Price: $20.98 Customer Review: Jim Highsmith is one of those few people that have really been-there-done-that and continue to be a pleasure to meet, accessible and down-to-earth. But anyway, this review is about his new book and not about him so I'll get to it. From my perspective Agile Project Management has two accomplishments:... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


19.		Materials Science and Engineering: An Introduction from Wiley Price: $11.95 Customer Review: I'm an undergraduate Materials Engineering student and I would say this is one of those textbooks that I would recommend keeping, rather than just renting or borrowing from a friend.

20.		Boatowner's Mechanical and Electrical Manual: How to Maintain, Repair, and Improve Your Boat's Essential Systems from International Marine/Ragged Mountain Press Price: $31.01 Customer Review: If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and could only take one CD with you, which one would you take and why? Years ago I used to listen to a program on the BBC that asked famous guests that question, only they said record, not CDs. Well I suppose I'd take Bob Dylan's "Blood on the... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


21.		Machinery's Handbook Toolbox Edition from Industrial Press Price: $64.89 Customer Review: This handbook is a must for any mechanical engineer. Chock-full of useful(hard to find) data. It has everything from shaft alignment to mechanical/chemical properties of materials to wind-chill calculations. Unlike most engineering references, it's easy to use!	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


22.		Out of the Crisis from The MIT Press Price: $25.53 Customer Review: The concepts discussed in the book are interesting, but his way of discussing them is not very organized, and the book is a tough read. It's worth the time if you are interested in quality improvement in some sort of production line.	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


23.		Drawing Shortcuts: Developing Quick Drawing Skills Using Today's Technology from Wiley Price: $29.75 Customer Review: Every once in awhile, a life changing book comes along. I've been creating Architectural Illustrations for over 40 years using airbrush, water color and pen and ink. I've never felt comfortable doing quick sketches. Jim's book clearly delineates the tools and techniques needed to produce drawings... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


24.		Mechanics of Materials from McGraw-Hill Science/Engineering/Math Price: $70.00 Customer Review: The book seems almost outdated with its long text. Additionally, the practice problems at the end of each chapter can be confusing to take on based on the text. The book requires a good teacher supplement or secondary reference. HOWEVER: After a while, you'll get a feel for the way the... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


25.		How To Weld (Motorbooks Workshop) from Motorbooks Price: $15.36 Customer Review: This is a very thorough book, excellent for both the beginning and experienced welder.

I feel that I was lucky, when I first started welding, to have picked this... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


26.		How To Implement Lean Manufacturing from McGraw-Hill Professional Price: $33.82 Customer Review: Lonnie Wilson has done a surpurb job of taking the very broad subject of Lean Manufacturing and in twenty chapters provided not only the what but the how too of Lean Manufacturing along with pitfalls to avoid. I really enjoyed the three chapters of case studies that bring home the points of the... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


27.		Project Risk Management (Project Management) from McGraw-Hill Professional Price: $31.98 Customer Review: Outstanding for Risk in Project Management. We used two different books for Risk class. However this book was by far the better book for details and the ability to get the point across. I would recommend this book for anyone studying Risk Management for Projects.	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


28.		The Complete Book of Locks and Locksmithing from Mcgraw-Hill Customer Review: The contents of this book are satisfactory. I just wish there was more detail on many of the topics, but I guess that is why there are additional books available. I personally had some issues with the testing instument in the back of the book when I submitted it. However, after some time and extra... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


29.		The Workbench: A Complete Guide to Creating Your Perfect Bench from Taunton Press Price: $23.07 Customer Review: Thank for the book; it arrived in excellent condition, earlier than we expected. Great customer service!	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


30.	[no image]	The Gun Digest Book of Combat Handgunnery from Dbi Books Customer Review: The subject matter covered in this book is best learned by taking a course in hand gun combat - which I recommend. The book is an OK reference, but it isn't nearly enough for a rookie to become competent.	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information
