Customer Review: It is rare that a supposedly technical book really changes a reader's life. I can say, though, that after reading Tufte's books, my life is not the same. The complaints of the detracting reviewers are baseless if you understand the nature of this book. This book is the groundworks of a theory of... more info
Customer Review: Well, the first thing you want to do when you finish a book like this is go on and on about how impressed you are. This is one of the best database technology books I've read, and the best one on MySQL. Digging into the book I would say I was an intermediate DBA. With 12 years experience on... more info
Customer Review: I bought this book for a class but it is self explanatory if you are looking to learn more about GIS on your own. Make sure you buy it new otherwise the cd software for ArcGIS could be past the 180 day expiration date. Overall, a good book to have as a resource to learn more about what GIS can do... more info

It... more info
Customer Review: This is a great book that introduces practical Bayesian computing for scientists and quantitatively oriented people. Good sections on MCMC and other aspects without getting too mathematical (as opposed to being statistical - Does not mean that you won't find any symbols). Having said that, please be... more info
Customer Review: Buy this book if you are interested in Hibernate. I didn't know Hibernate, but within 3 weeks of buying this book I was fully productive with Hibernate. This book is well written, organized and easy to learn from. Also has a nice chapther on Mavan
Customer Review: I bought this book as a required text for a class I was taking. While I find text books dry and difficult in many cases, this one was different. Mullen writes with some well placed humor, and yet covers a very large spectrum of information. This is not light reading, and it goes into quite a... more info
Customer Review: Excellent in how it encompasses BIM issues to various partners in the building process. It is considerably appropriate and relevant when considering the impact of BIM on the building industry and our personal business.
