"The 2,000 Percent Solution" is one book whose problem-solving setting was designed to ensure better corporate management. The theme of this book is efficiency. It is versatile, and bore expressive evidence of refined methodologies. Those involved in organizational management would value its aiding range. Of interest to the double-minded is how the first part of this book, (that is, chapters one to eight), used practical examples to encourage change.
And, as corporate norms continue to evolve rapidly, "The 2,000 Percent Solution" welcomed all, but is bold enough to warn that 'all that glitters may not be gold'. One thing I like about this book is that it did not stop at enumerating the reasons for discouraging a given practice, but provided logical alternative in each case.
In a nutshell, "The 2,000 Percent Solution" is a book whose chapters are dedicated to improving corporate efficiency. It is easy to comprehend; and helps its reader to assess and opt for ideas based on their profitability worths, as opposed to their mere popularities.

Indeed, this book ("Lonely Planet West Africa") did a good job in outlining many of the popular tourist attractions that are located in this Sub-Saharan region of Africa. I also appreciated its details on several tourists' trails, accomodations, means of transportation, and so on. However, I was very disappointed to note that (just like the "Lonely Planet Africa on a Shoestring") this book is full of discouraging comments. Some of the phrases Lonely Planet used in this book are quite offensive.
For sure, most foreigners who travel to (West) African countries are not expecting to see a paradise, but that does not mean that there is no better way of presenting real and imaginary negative thoughts. This book is smeared by terms and phrases, which I consider derogatory to both (West) Africa and (West) Africans. As a result of this, I will never recommend it to anyone until there is a change of heart by Lonely Planet in subsequent editions.

Robert Heller's "Manager's Handbook" used few words to explain a lot of things. Its coverage is broad; and include creative thinking, public relations, partnerships, staff appraisal, and project evaluation.
It also touched on the interdependence between managers and other members of the staff. Of particular interest in this regard are the areas that dealt with collective output, professional ethics, prioritizing aims, and meeting objectives and responsibilities.
Designed to save time without running short of vital information, the 250 pages of this book constitute a handy reference, which busy people should appreciate. Having assimilated the concise ideas in this book, anybody who needs more detailed managerial information should consider "Successful Manager's Handbook" by Moi Ali, et al.

With close to a thousand pages, this edition of "Lonely Planet Italy" may be a heavyweight to lug around, but its information is complete. It explained Italy: one bit at a time. But, for a traveller who is more interested in hopping around than in devouring endless pages, this book may become a burden. I would suggest that intending travellers (and holiday-makers) should regard it as a home reference, while embarking on their trip with a lighter text.
This book is generous with all that concerned Italy: from the ancient Roman Empire to the Renaissance, and down to twentieth century secular state. It provided sumptuous info on the 'dolce vita' lifestyle of the 'Azzuri': including their high alps, old cities, and the Vatican enclave.

The worst thing I would say about this book is that there are few illustrative tables and diagrams in it; and all of them are in black and white.
However, outside stingy and unattractive figures, every other quality of this book is positive. Its contents are rich; and are organized in a way many standard microbiology texts are not. Both established and opportunistic pathogens were grouped together, not by taxonomical relationships, but by their predilection to cause disease in a particular area of the body. Thus, while reading this book, bear in mind that its author grouped organisms that cause skin diseases together: regardless of whether they are bacteria, viruses, or fungi.
"Microbiology in Clinical Practice" did ramify areas of diagnostic analysis, chemotherapy, epidemiology, zoonoses, nosocomial infections, as well as methods of disinfection and sterilization.
The book spared no effort in explaining various terms and concepts. And, I believe that fledging doctors, nurses, and lab scientists would find it helpful.

Complete with fine remarks and introductory tutorials, Norman Solomon exerted accurate perceptions in this pamphlet.
"Judaism: A Very Short Introduction" gave a run-through of every aspect of (ancient and modern) judaism. Its time-saving structure is neat: without omitting any of the vital issues which concerned the religion and its followers. This book is well-blended. It maintained proportionate dispositions towards religious practices, cultural heritage, and evolutionary anthropology. There is hardly any weakness in its presentations.
Anybody who needs an insight into the 'dos' and 'don'ts' of judaism would find it useful. Its summarized contents included all the transformations, which the ancient religion has undergone.

Accompanied by elaborated worked examples, as well as self-assessment questions, the components of this book are complete. It introduces its reader to the underlying principles of drugs discovery and development, using the simplest possible method. Each one of its illustrated chapters included content-summary at the end of that chapter.
From pharmaceutical chemistry to pharmacological kinetics, the introductory scope of this book is unique. Sound narrations regarding methods of Drug Discovery, Combinatorial Synthesis, Drug Action, Receptor Structure and Signal Transduction, as well as many others, gave this book a top niche in my scale of text preferences.
Its price is reasonable, and its pages are overflowing with pieces of hard-to-beat information. I will not hesitate to recommend this book for pharmacy students; and for any other person who takes introductory pharmacology course. It is very sound.

Of course, many people would not regard this book as a 'Nutritional Bible', given its modest 342-paged volume. Still, a careful look at it reveals a lot.
This book left nothing to doubt with its expanded coverage on every aspect of human nutrition. Its information were abridged in most cases, but they are far-reaching enough. It did remind its (novice) audience that energy and nutritional requirements may vary depending on age, sex, and level of activity.
"The Optimum Nutrition Bible" used simple language to explain the manifestations of various nutritional disorders and deficiencies. It also described and classified nutrients in a way that any reader would follow.
This is not a classical text that should be reserved for medics: anybody can get along with its contents. In addition to sports personnel, I would advise patients with nutritional sensitivities: like diabetics, alcoholics, anorexia nervosa, etc., to pay closer attention to it. Its message is simple and clear; but above all, very useful.

The portable cards which constitute this 'book' are well-designed. They will assist any student who is taking undergraduate organic chemistry course prepare for revisions. Although that they lacked details in some respects, their coverage did embrace wide areas.
They are particularly useful in learning about the various nomenclature, as well as the physical and chemical properties of a functional group in a given homologous series.
"OrgoCards" impressed me with the way it handled those nucleophilic substitution reactions that members of Carbonyl group undergo. Despite its haphazard lessons on Acylation, its efforts on Alcohols, Aldehydes, Ketones, Esters, and Carboxylic acids are quite commendable.
This "OrgoCards: Organic Chemistry Review" should be seen either as a textbook complement, or a notebook alternative. I will suggest that you consider buying it if your lecturer is the type that is not enthusiastic about giving class-notes.

The authors of this book knew quite well that 192 pages are not that many. So, they went into the fundamental analysis of enzymes without wasting time.
This handbook will suit anybody whose preoccupations include offering or receiving nutritional advice. It clearly outlined and defined the basic principles of enzymology: focussing on both their nature and their clinical applications. Without delving into the complex kinetics aasociated with catalytic reactions, "Enzymes: The Key to Health" did shed light on the biochemical and physiological pathways connected with each enzyme it discussed.
It also did a good job in describing the multicomponent forms of these globular proteins. The same could be said concerning the way it classified each enzyme group.
This is an interesting book to read, if you want to get a good understanding of enzymology with little or no biochemistry hassles. It was written in such a way that non-scientists could understand. It provides a steady flow of simplified enzymology gists.
