1.Illustrated Guide to Home Chemistry Experiments: All Lab, No Lecture (DIY Science) by: Robert Thompson April 29, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £18.50 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £15.39 You Save: £3.11 (17%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £15.65
The author, Mr. Thompson, obviously loves the subject, and yes, darn it, chemistry should be "fun", a little dangerous and educational. I share the author's lament over the passing of a "proper" chemistry set. The one I had as a kid contained all the "no-no's" (or should I say KNO, KNO3!) In that day you could go to the chemist and buy all manner of chemicals "off the shelf". At school we made rockets (after school hours, I had a terrific Chemistry Master..... Now my Son wants to learn, we home ed.... this book gives me the chance to "teach" or better "inspire" him:- That I did already, demonstrating the oxidizing qualities of KMnO4, innitially he smuggly goes yeah and.... then quite soon it's wow, how the heck did that ...

2.Mawson's Will: The Greatest Polar Survival Story Ever Written by: Lennard Bickel 2000-03
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £7.63 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £6.76 You Save: £0.87 (11%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £3.56
What is just as unbelievable as this truly remarkable story itself is that Mawson has never had the same recognition as his contemporaries, Scott and Shackleton. The story is even more remarkable, not just because of the terrible deaths of his comrades or the near starvation or physical pain and mental exhaustion, but that Mawson is further tormented by his total isolation in a vastness unimaginable. A grim tale with emotion, the reader will find Bickel's account vivid and moving.

3.Designing with Web Standards (Voices That Matter) by: Jeffrey Zeldman July 20, 2006

As an amateur website designer, who tries to stick to modern standard-based layout, I'm always keen to pick up tips from the pros. This book certainly helps with this, there are a lot of useful tricks and pointers to websites I might otherwise have missed. Like other reviewers, I found that the earlier part of the book is overly concerned with the methods of 5 to 10 years ago. People buying the book will probably be sold on CSS-based layout (or at least standards as the method of choice) before they buy. So a much shorter case would suffice. There is an over-emphasis on older browsers as well: Netscape 4.x, IE/Win 4 and IE/Mac 5 get much too much space. Most people are targeting IE 6, Firefox Opera 8 and Safari today. Overall, ...

4.The Craft of Research (Chicago Guides to Writing, Editing & Publishing) by: Wayne C. Booth, Gregory G. Colomb, Joseph M. Williams April 15, 2003
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: £8.00 Prices subject to change. Used Price: £3.71
People keep telling me that they do not know how to start writing a journal/conference paper or how to start their thesis and I always recommend this book. It was one of the first books I had to read when I started my PhD and I am still thanking the professor who told me to buy this book. Highly recommended, especially if you are new to research and you are in any of the social sciences, including information systems ;).

5.Technology of the Gods: The Incredible Sciences of the Ancients by: David Hatcher Childress 2000-06
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £13.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £10.99 You Save: £3.00 (21%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £9.68
This book is a good summary of many researches done before Mr Childress wrote the book. In particular, the chapter on Giza power plant was a good summary of Mr Dunn's book. As a whole, the book is refreshing and proves that technology of high sophistication existed before, or rather have been in existence for longer than our conventional views of history permit us. Depends on how you look at it, this book can be taken as support for theory of Atlantis, Sitchin's idea of the Annunakis or even Daniken's Chariots of the Gods. On the whole, great stuff, and an eye opener!

6.Diffusion of Innovations by: Everett M. Rogers November 17, 2003

Why would a villager draw polluted drinking water from a canal where a dead donkey floats instead of using a nearby tap to get clean drinking water? Why did it take hundreds of years for the British Navy to give sailors oranges and lemons when tests had proven that citrus fruit cured the scurvy that killed sailors and left vessels under-manned? Why do eminently sensible things not happen? If you’ve ever wondered, this book will give you the answers. It’s a thick, heavy, academic tome, but spiced with abundant anecdotes and observations that make it an easy, enjoyable read. This is the rare book that combines solid intellectual content with thought-provoking entertainment. We highly recommend this classic from 1962 to all audiences, but especially those ... Read More:

7.How to Research by: Lorraine Blaxter, Christina Hughes, Malcolm Tight July 01, 2001
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £7.95
I used this book while completing university studies and found it's direct writing style and practical approach to doing research in the social sciences of great benefit. Of particular value was the way the text was broken up with the use of Boxes, Exercises and Hints and Tips, offering succint advice relating to aspects of the research process, and providing opportunities to test knowledge gained of researching. The book covers all facets and steps involved in conducting a research project, from devising a research topic to publishing results of research. The publication date of the book (1996) does mean that some of the information in it is slightly outdated, the Internet for example is only referred to in passing as a new, developing database, but it would still ...

8.A New Kind of Science by: Stephen Wolfram 2002-05
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £40.00 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £38.00 You Save: £2.00 ( 5%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £16.95
I had been looking forward to reading this book for ages, but am very disappointed. Most of it is not very new at all, the prose is long winded and tedious to read, a lot of page space is wasted in wide borders and excessive line spacing, and I really don't see the point. I'd sell my copy, but I doubt it's even worth the cost of the postage. I only gave it two stars in case there is something interesting in there, given the other achievements of the author, but I missed it.
