I recently read a book about poop: The Big Necessity: The Unmentionable World of Human Waste and Why It Matters.

2.		Building Agreement from Random House Uk Ltd Customer Review: The book is an excellent resource and full of useful information. However, due to poor print quality I was unable to read several pages in the latter chapters of this book. They were extremely faded to the point of being unreadable.

3.		The Routes of Man: How Roads Are Changing the World and the Way We Live Today from Knopf Customer Review: Quick warning ... This is not the wide-ranging study you'd think it would be from the title. Instead, it's really just a series of vignettes set on the road somewhere throughout the world - a driving club in China, a truck route in East Africa, hiking a frozen river in Tibet, following the trail of... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


4.		The Box: How the Shipping Container Made the World Smaller and the World Economy Bigger (New in Paper) from Princeton University Press Price: $10.48 Customer Review: A very well-written account of an otherwise dry subject, chronicling the standardization of the shipping container and how it effected and expanded trade.

5.		Build Your Own Electric Vehicle from McGraw-Hill/TAB Electronics Price: $15.76 Customer Review: This is a great guide and the first edition would be rated much higher by me.

6.		Blood, Iron and Gold: How the Railways Transformed the World from Atlantic Books Price: $8.38 Customer Review: This book is hard to summarize as its one of those good news/bad news books.

Starting with George Stephenson and the early railroads to the split between the private industry vs. public development... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


7.	[no image]	Student Solutions Manual from Pearson Higher Education Price: $79.99 Customer Review: Way overpriced for a cheap thinly paperback 68 page solutions manual that only further explains what the already given answers in the back of the book.

8.		Contemporary Urban Planning (8th Edition) from Prentice Hall Customer Review: I love it, i love it , I love it....Very worth the price and it's wayyy cheaper than the 8th edition	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


9.		Principles of Highway Engineering and Traffic Analysis from Wiley Price: $53.89 Customer Review: This textbook is, by far, the best short-form textbook on highway engineering and traffic analysis.

10.		How to Shit in the Woods, Second Edition: An Environmentally Sound Approach to a Lost Art from Ten Speed Press Price: $5.45 Customer Review: I had hoped this book would give lots of tips concerning backpacking and camping. It does not. It only covers one topic, as described in the title. A phamphlet could tell me everything I need to know about this. I will not waste my time reading this entire book.

13.		Lightly on the Land: The Sca Trail-Building and Maintenance Manual from Mountaineers Books Price: $17.18 Customer Review: Great book for trail builders.

16.		Black Sheep One: The Life of Gregory "Pappy" Boyington from Presidio Press Price: $4.68 Customer Review: This book is Pappy Boyington, warts and all. The author makes no excuses for Boyingtons alcoholism and his frequesnt hangovers. That said, the book traces Boyingtons life through the people who were there and doesn't accept what Boyington said as the way it really was. Sometimes the truth can be... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

23.		Transportation and Cargo Security: Threats and Solutions from Prentice Hall Price: $23.98 Customer Review: On any given day at America's airport terminals, grandmothers are asked to remove their shoes, raise their arms, and submit to a wanding with a magnetometer.

Railroads in the African American Experience: A Photographic Journey from The Johns Hopkins University Press Price: $23.20 Customer Review: Theodore Kornweibel Jr. has spent almost 15 years researching and writing a book that is much more than the sum of its parts.
