1.		Computational Geometry: Algorithms and Applications, Second Edition from Springer Price: $24.00 Customer Review: This book covers the concepts and algorithms concisely and hence forms a very handy reference to Computational Geometry. You could use this as the starting point for any Comp Geom application and build on that. I am pretty happy with this buy!	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


2.		Introduction to Discrete Event Systems from Springer Price: $67.45 Customer Review: The book arrived in good condition and ready to use. I paid this book with my VISA credit card and didn't have any problem. I recommend everyone to buy this book on Amazon.com	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


3.		I, Robot : The Illustrated Screenplay from iBooks, Inc. Price: $0.01 Customer Review: Thank you Harlan! I read "I, Robot" when I was about 11. It made me an Asimov fan and a science fiction fan. I was terribly disappointed when I heard about That Movie With The Same Title and refuse to see it. This, however, really is the "greatest science fiction movie never made".more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


4.		The Turk: The Life and Times of the Famous Eighteenth-Century Chess-Playing Machine from Walker & Co. Price: $11.53 Customer Review: I couldn't stop reading about the fascinating people such as Philemon, Benjamin Franklin, Napoleon, Edgar Allan Poe and a host of European royalty who were so perplexed and entertained by this amazing illusion. I couldn't stop reading till I'd finished the entire book in two days. Highly... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


5.		IEC 61131-3: Programming Industrial Automation Systems: Concepts and Programming Languages, Requirements for Programming Systems, Decision-Making Aids from Springer Price: $103.83 Customer Review: Book is quite simple, not a lot of examples.

6.		Cyborg Citizen: Politics in the Posthuman Age from Routledge Price: $28.12 Customer Review: I had a high level of interest upon picking up this book, as cyborg technology and the philosophy behind it, after reading it; however, I have to say I was a bit disappointed. I gave it a rating of 3 stars, but I think it deserves more along the lines of a 2.5. This book professes to be about... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


7.		Applied Interval Analysis from Springer Price: $103.20 Customer Review: This book is a delight. It has three parts. The first part, the theoretical presentation, is of exceptional quality. The second part lists some applications - this section is of lesser value. The third part offers C++ implementation of the presented concepts. This last part is less valuable.... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


8.		Ultimate Robot Kit from Dorling Kindersley Publishers Ltd Customer Review: I am bookseller and I see hundreds of books a day. What is with DK's bindings? They are either dropping pages, or split, or some other problem. Is this "planned obsolescence"?. Come on. Get it together. We use like a pint of glue every year just fixing these bindings.

10.		Our Molecular Future: How Nanotechnology, Robotics, Genetics and Artificial Intelligence Will Transform Our World from Prometheus Books Price: $13.98 Customer Review: You can see this book was written by a journalist rather than a scientist. Yes, it contains a big deal of information, but this is casually scattered all over the text with little resemblance of order. The feeling you get is that the author searched the internet for a few weeks looking for... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


11.		Making Robot Warriors from Junk from Chicken House Ltd Price: $116.66 Customer Review: I bought this book for my grandson who is fascinated by robots and is always trying to build something out of scraps. This book shows how to build simple robots out of things you MIGHT find around the house. One of the reasons for only three stars is that a lot of the items used in the book are very... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


12.	[no image]	Modelling and Control of Robot Manipulators from Mcgraw-Hill (Tx) Customer Review: This book is one of the most boring books that I ever had to read. It was painful and NO it did not inspire me to become the best damn robot designer in the world. Instead I opted for Power Engineering...	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


13.		Digital control systems (HRW series in electrical and computer engineering) from Holt, Rinehart and Winston Customer Review: We had this as our text in a graduate level digital controls class, and my own impression of it, as well as the impression of others, was that it was extremely hard to follow. Communicating engineering concepts is challenging, and I am afraid that this book does not meet that challenge very well.... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

17.	[no image]	Process Instruments and Controls Handbook from McGraw-Hill Customer Review: Like most other McGaw-Hill handbooks this is a collection of articles, which for the most part, have been written by equipment manufacturers. The information is often thin and superfical. Some areas of the book are so simplistic they're laughable. For example, among the "Rules of Thumb" there is... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

24.	[no image]	Build Your Own Working Robot from TAB Books Inc.,U.S. Price: $10.00 Customer Review: The book takes a hands-on approach to robot-building, and the author goes out of the way not by promising a gizmo but rather a simple acoustic-controlled car trolley which can be extended to pave the way for a more advanced project. A course in basic electronics is recommended, the book also covers... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

[no image]	How to build your own self-programming robot from Tab Books Price: $60.99 Customer Review: If you have an interest in robotics, and a decent knowledge of electronics, then this book is certainly worth reading.
