1.	[no image]	Clinical Nursing Skills and Techniques: Skills Checklist from Mosby Customer Review: I will not buy another book from this company because it took the nearly a month to give me my refund. Better yet the packaging of the book was torn. Addition to that, the book was return to company as stated and refund was not immediatly give. The company could'nt find my book becasue of the way it... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


2.		Introduction to Heat Transfer from Wiley Price: $65.90 Customer Review: While IDBL does start off very slowly, by the time chapter three starts it really hits it's stride. The book contains a surprising amount of information compared to how readable it is (at least compared to BSL, the long time standard for the subject), and the examples and derivations are relevant... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


3.		Four Laws That Drive the Universe from Oxford University Press, USA Price: $9.00 Customer Review: Peter Atkins' "Four Laws" is a small book that tackles a big subject. Probably the biggest difficulty for the general reader would be the Boltzmann distribution, that Atkins introduces in the first chapter. The rest of the book explains heat, energy, and work (First Law); entropy, efficiency, and... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


4.		Thermodynamics from Dover Publications Price: $6.32 Customer Review: With this book, Fermi explains the concepts of thermodynamics in such a beautiful and simple way that the only word I found to describe it is: Elegance. The explanation doesn't cover kinetic theory fundamentals but the way exposed on the thermodynamics phenomena is made in such a clear and simple... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


5.		Thermodynamics: An Engineering Approach with Student Resource DVD from McGraw-Hill Science/Engineering/Math Price: $110.00 Customer Review: This book is sufficient for two semester-long courses in undergraduate thermodynamics. The preface says that calculus and freshman physics are sufficient prerequisites, but I think courses in statics and chemistry wouldn't hurt either considering the depth of material. The book's explanations... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


6.		Thermodynamics DeMYSTiFied from McGraw-Hill Professional Price: $14.74 Customer Review: Book was just as the dealer said it would be thank for the quick work	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


7.		Fundamentals of Heat and Mass Transfer 6th Edition with IHT/FEHT 3.0 CD with User Guide Set from Wiley Price: $163.50 Customer Review: It was better than I expected.

8.		Time Traveler: A Scientist's Personal Mission to Make Time Travel a Reality from Basic Books Price: $8.86 Customer Review: I bought your book, Dr. Mallett after hearing your interview on NPR. Your voice was so warm and inviting and your interest's were mine in so many ways. I have watched the same TV shows and seen the same movies, not necessaryly because my main interest was time travel but, just because I have been in... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


9.		Fundamentals of Engineering Thermodynamics from Wiley Price: $88.30 Customer Review: Very helpful examples and practice problems. No answers in back-> not helpful!!

10.		An Introduction to Thermal Physics from Addison Wesley Price: $41.00 Customer Review: This is an excellent book with excerises right after each section. The excersises let you review what you have just read about in that section to better understand and learn what is going on in that section. Terms are easily understood, definitions are not at all difficult to understand to some... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


11.	[no image]	Magic School Bus in the Arctic: A Book About Heat from Demco Media Customer Review: My son is 4.5 He loves this series, it is about all he reads (has read to him) for now. (These and the level 2 readers.) These books are very formulaic and they are funny (but no word play or puns), they are also fast moving. It is a compliment that they are formulaic, by the way, that is one... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


12.		Wireless Crash Course, Second Edition from McGraw-Hill Professional Price: $23.13 Customer Review: Great book for everything Wireless. Covers past, current and future technologies.

13.		Feynman's Rainbow: A Search for Beauty in Physics and in Life from Warner Books Price: $24.95 Customer Review: Feynman's Rainbow is an autobiographical account of Leonard Mlodinow's first year after getting his Ph.D., which he spent at CalTech (1981-1982). His office happened to be between that of legendary and Nobel Prize winning physicists Richard Feynman and Murray Gell-Mann, and Mlodinow tells a few... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


14.		Understanding Thermodynamics from Dover Publications Price: $5.23 Customer Review: Clear explanation on thermodynamics basics - just what I was looking for. I am not from engineering or physics background, but this book certainly gives a way to start. Simple and basics concepts for beginners who are interested in general concepts of conversion energy into work and heat.	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


15.		Fundamentals of Thermodynamics from Wiley Price: $126.17 Customer Review: This is not a good book for an intro to thermo course! The writing is dry, the explanations poor, the math is too easy to get lost in, and the book assumes prior knowledge that an undergrad student isn't equipped with yet. I would recommend this for grad students or as a reference to professors, as... more info	Customer Rating: 2.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


16.		Schaum's Outline of Thermodynamics for Engineers, 2ed (Schaum's Outline Series) from McGraw-Hill Price: $13.16 Customer Review: I have been a full-time and adjunct professor for 41 years. This is an excellent text/resource for all thermodynamics students. One could teach the entire first semester and portions of follow-on courses from this text. Material is clearly and logically explained. If left to select a text for the... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


17.		Integrated Science from McGraw-Hill Science/Engineering/Math Price: $89.32 Customer Review: works well as it should ... using it for photo and HD video on my Panasonic TZ5 ...	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


18.		Atmospheric Science, Volume 92, Second Edition: An Introductory Survey (International Geophysics) from Academic Press Price: $42.86 Customer Review: This book is definitely for a student of the atmosphere. I bought it for some personal research I'm doing but I'm not a science person so it's over my head. This is very technical writing but very complete and well written. The book needlessly slips into evolution-speak occasionally but that's... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


19.		The Future of Everything: The Science of Prediction from Basic Books Price: $5.45 Customer Review: This was the first book I read on my new Kindle and I must say it was an electronic page-turner. It is unique in the way the author provides an extensive history of prognostication and highlighted the realms of human activity where prediction themes have common threads; weather, health, and... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


20.		Biology: Concepts & Investigations from McGraw-Hill Science/Engineering/Math Price: $92.00 Customer Review: I know this may sound weird but there is just something so appealing about having a new hard cover book. Especially a book like this one. The pages are smooth and the author did a good job of making sure that no page was just pure text. I hate studying for my biology class, but I love opening my... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


21.		Entropy Demystified: The Second Law Reduced to Plain Common Sense from World Scientific Publishing Company Price: $22.66 Customer Review: This book is for everyone who has heard about entropy, but who cannot understand what it is, thinking it is something mysterious and impossible to understand. This book will show you a way to get closer to the second law of thermodynamics (a protagonist of this law is entropy!), using nothing... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


22.		Fundamentals of Statistical and Thermal Physics (Fundamentals of Physics) from McGraw Hill Higher Education Price: $71.67 Customer Review: Choose Kittel's book. The Kittel's book is much better than this book for beginners in statiscal mechanics. The book is too boring, not simple, not concise...	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


23.		Schaum's Outline of Heat Transfer from McGraw-Hill Price: $11.72 Customer Review: Delivery of the product took a long time to the point of giving up. In fact I had to go to a local bookstore and purchase the same book so I could get to do what I need to do. I gave away the book I received to another person that needed one. The product however was in very good shape.	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


24.		Thermodynamics: An Engineering Approach from McGraw Hill Higher Education Price: $55.00 Customer Review: Books do not need to be updated every year. . . the three laws are always the same.	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


25.		Introduction to the Thermodynamics of Materials from Taylor & Francis Price: $52.89 Customer Review: This book is just plain awful. How can a book that's been through 5 editions and 30+ years be this bad? Typographical errors are rampant, in the text, the equations, and even a few figures. The notation is inconsistent both across and within chapters. This could all be dismissed as a superficial... more info	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


26.		Ph.I.L.S., Version 3.0: Physiology Interactive Lab Simulations from McGraw-Hill Science/Engineering/Math Price: $12.48 Customer Review: Book is great. Need to protect CD with harder stuff in case break it during shpping.	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


27.		Corrosion Engineering: Principles and Practice from McGraw-Hill Professional Price: $73.67 Customer Review: If you are a corrosionist - as myself - you must buy this book. It deals most of corrosion issues. Some themes are explained in a very clear way. If you are not, just somebody that need to know the basics, it is a very good introductory book to buy. In my opinion, this is the author's best book.	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


28.		Molecular Driving Forces: Statistical Thermodynamics in Chemistry & Biology from Garland Science Price: $71.30 Customer Review: I feel no need to explain this. This book is absolutely great. Buy and read it.	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


29.		Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning Analysis and Design from Wiley Price: $73.24 Customer Review: Appreciated the immediate delivery. Had previously ordered the text from another (cheaper) source, but after waiting 14 days, gave up because of lost in mail delivery. Cost a little more, but delivery response was great.	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


30.		Introduction to Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics (The Mcgraw-Hill Chemical Engineering Series) from McGraw-Hill Science/Engineering/Math Price: $151.32 Customer Review: This book explains the basics of thermodynamics very well. However, when it comes to conceptual things like fugacity and bubble point, i feel that the book does a poor job.	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information
