The Mixing Engineer's Handbook, Second Edition

Bobby Owsinski

Artistpro, 2006

Excellent for the audiophile
As an audiophile I truly enjoyed the book. It gave me clear and usable insight into why some of my recordings sound the way they do. It also allowed me to very quickly criticize some of my not so professionally mixed music. This includes classic and pro brands like ...

Nicomachean Ethics: Aristotle

Martin Ostwald

Prentice Hall, 1962

Translations differ
It would be helpful if Amazon didn't pool together reviews from different translations. Note to Amazon: the customer reviews can be very helpful and have motivated me to purchase many books. But reviews for widely translated books should be specific to the ...

Physics for Scientists and Engineers, Volume 1, Chapters 1-22, 7th Edition

Raymond A. Serway, John W. Jewett

Brooks Cole, 2007

What to do with a phyisics degree and mediocre teaching ability? Write a physics textbook!
Snark of my title aside, this book is really poor for trying to learn physics from, on your own, which with the quality of many teachers today you are most likely to end up doing. If you find a quality teacher willing to take the time to form his or her own ...

Materials for Civil and Construction Engineers (2nd Edition)

Michael S. Mamlouk, John P. Zaniewski

Prentice Hall, 2005

Great Book
great book while you're taking the author's(zaniewski) materials class at west virginia university. but WHOA does he ever grade hard! he seems like a very nice guy, but is very demanding... be prepared to work the hardest in this class like you have no other. i wish ...

Probability & Statistics for Engineers & Scientists (8th Edition)

Ronald E. Walpole, Raymond H. Myers, ...

Prentice Hall, 2006

Engineering Specialist
With an exception of Chapter 1, this book is well written, well organized with logical flow of subjects, and having practical example for every chapter's sub-topics. I found most of these examples are simple and very supportive for the understanding of mathematical ...

Pattern Recognition and Machine Learning (Information Science and Statistics)

Christopher M. Bishop

Springer, 2007

Probably the best book for machine learning
I am a PhD student in machine learning. Bishop is really gifted and he explains very well basic and advanced concepts of machine learning. I would say that this book is much more comprehensive than Hastie's Statistical learning book The Elements of Statistical ...

Applied Statistics and Probability for Engineers

Douglas C. Montgomery, George C. Runger

Wiley, 2006

One of the best statistic books I've ever seen!
I bought this book for my statistic class. this book is great. Examples are easy to follow and the theory is easy to read.

Vector Mechanics for Engineers: Statics w/CD-ROM

Ferdinand P. Beer, Jr., E. Russell Johnston, ...

McGraw-Hill Science/Engineering/Math, 2006

Superb
This book is great for self learning!, most of the theorems are explained in a very good way (a little too good and normally a little to hard to understand the first time) the examples are clear and the exercises are neither easy nor difficult (well some of them are ...

Physics for Scientists and Engineers: A Strategic Approach with Modern Physics and MasteringPhysics(TM) (2nd ...

Randall D. Knight

Addison Wesley, 2007

Well Written Book
This is a very well written book. I have been using this book for a semester now and feel that it is an excellent book to learn from. It has a logical order, a very well organized problem set for each chapter organized by chapter section and tagged with difficulty ...

College Mathematics for Business, Economics, Life Sciences & Social Sciences (11th Edition)

Raymond A. Barnett, Michael R. Ziegler, ...

Prentice Hall, 2007

As good as a math textbook can be when you don't open it.
I used this textbook in my "business math" course. The course covered material that I'd already mastered in high school, so I rarely used this book. When I had to look up a few fuzzy areas, though, it helped me. It did a poor job of explaining Chapter 7, as I ...

Rocket Boys (The Coalwood Series #1)

Homer Hickam

Delta, 2000

Amazing True Story
Homer Hickam grew up in a rural isolated mountain town but went on to win the National Science Fair. This book is his story and how he was successful. I bought 24 copies of this book to inspire my advanced 6th grade Reading class. They loved the book. In our ...

Raymond A. Serway, John W. Jewett

Brooks Cole, 2007

Great for self instruction and very clear.
I am not sure whether this text is worthwile having in conjunction with a physics course. It is, however, wonderful for self instruction. The author often shows several different ways you can see the same concept, which defefinately helps you gain a deep ...

High Performance Web Sites: Essential Knowledge for Front-End Engineers

Steve Souders

O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2007

Great for Frontend Engineers and Web Developers
I am no frontend engineer (these are people responsible for the performance of large web sites). However, I am always concerned with speed on the sites I run, so I decided to check out this book. While most of the tips on it are strictly limited to things you can do ...

Statistics for the Life Sciences (3rd Edition)

Myra L. Samuels, Jeffrey A. Witmer

Prentice Hall, 2002

An excellent textbook that teaches by example
In a word - wow. This is an outstanding textbook for undergraduate biology students. The number of practical, real life examples exceeds anything else I have seen in a statistics book, permitting the student to follow theory immediately with concrete practice. Examples ...

Raymond A. Serway, John W. Jewett

Brooks Cole, 2007

Excellent Textbook!
I really am impressed with this textbook. It is one of the most organized texts I have ever used in college. The authors and publisher do an excellent job of "formatting" the topics. All equations are very well marked and numbered. Many other texts throw an ...
