Genki 1: An Integrated Course in Elementary Japanese 1 (Genki 1 Series) (Japanese Edition) Review

Hot!!!

Special Price Here

This book is amazing. It teaches you grammar quickly, in a way that makes sense. Very few times I was confused with what was going on with this book. I would advise you to have a dictionary with you (Or be at your computer with a dictionary site ready) because flipping pages is a pain sometimes. There are plenty of examples that never try to trick you.

Only downside is the audio tape isn’t too helpful. They pronounce all the words for you, and they read out certain scenarios, but they don’t slow down. Sure its great listening practice, but its very hard to do for a beginning student. Believe me, listening to full pace Japanese is hard to make out. If you want good listening comprehension, might want to go to rosetta stone or something.

The kanji they teach is pretty good. They dont go over radicals or anything, but they teach you about 20 of them then give you some reading exercises, repeat for about 160 or so. Also, during the main lessons, all the kanji have furigana for you to read. You may end up ‘accidentally learning kanji’ this way. Where you see the same kanji enough times you just remember it without studying it. Other books weren’t so good at teaching kanji, or do so in a different manner. Know that this book wont teach you all of the joyo kanji, not even close, but it gets you started with a few hundred of the most common ones. It is very organized.

PS: I recommend a dry erase whiteboard + a thick tip chisel dry erase marker for all your kanji drawing. A pen and pad will not cut it. Write down all the kanji you learn a few times, and try to remember it by parts. EG– the in (ni-hon-go — Japan) is made up of (to say) (5) (mouth). Definitely makes it easier to remember. Just know that learning kanji will suck no matter what, but this book makes it slightly less sucky. I found it a bit fun to read their little stories, too.

Keep in mind that the Genki series wont teach you -everything-, but it will get you started. I’ve attained several Japanese textbooks and this one is the best.

PS: How each lesson works is they have a story at the beginning, then a few pages on the grammar tricks used in each story. If you cant read a lesson without 100% understanding, don’t advance.

Genki 1: An Integrated Course in Elementary Japanese 1 (Genki 1 Series) (Japanese Edition) Overview

Published in Japan, Genki gives a beginning student of Japanese a solid grounding in all four language skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Packed with easy-to-understand grammar explanations, a variety of exercises full of illustrations, and scenes taken from everyday life, the 23 lessons will have students enjoying the often tedious beginning stage of Japanese-language learning and will enable them to acquire a well-balanced ability to communicate in elementary Japanese.

The Mythical Man-Month: Essays on Software Engineering Review

Hot!!!

Special Price Here

The Mythical Man-Month is Frederick Brooks’ seminal collection of essays vis-a-vis software engineering. From the title, one would imagine that the tome’s unifying thesis revolves around the discredited idea that adding more engineers to a project will enable the project to be completed in fewer months, or, to put it another way, that the length of a project’s schedule is a linear function of the number of workers assigned to that project. Using graphs based on mathematical formulas and on research conducted by other specialists, Brooks neatly dismantles the person-month myth – demonstrating, in fact, that in many projects (particularly if complex interrelationships are required or if the project is behind schedule), adding more bodies often increases the time required for completion.

Despite what the title suggests, however, the above-mentioned topic is but one of many covered by this work. Other topics include the distinction between the “essential” and “accidental” elements of software design; the distinction between building a computer program vs. designing a “programming a systems product” (and the ninefold difference in complexity and time between the two); the quest for software engineering’s elusive “silver bullet”; the importance of documentation; the surprisingly small percentage of time that actual writing of code occupies on the timeline of a typical software-development project (as contrasted with time needed for testing and debugging); large teams vs. small “surgical teams” (and why the latter isn’t always the answer for all projects); the “buy versus build” dilemma; and many others.

Much of the material in the first several chapters of the book appears obsolete (although there are still valuable principles that can be gleaned). However, in chapter 19 (a kind of “retrospective” chapter added 20 years after the original publication date), Brooks amends much of the out-of-date material, e.g., his earlier views on program size and space metrics (rendered all but irrelevant in this age of multi-gigabyte memory), and the degree to which the (albeit hard-to-predict) personal computer explosion and the growth of the Internet. However, even since the time of the book’s revision (1995), further explosions have taken place in the computing industry – most notably with regards to Web 2.0, the ubiquity of data-driven Web applications (these even obsoleting many shrink-wrapped products), Web services, and development methodologies such as Agile and XP – that even chapter 19 may seem a little out-of-date to the modern developer. In spite of this, the principles of the book are still applicable: the chapters on estimation, team size, and the dismantling of the person-month myth are enough to make this tome required reading for developers and managers alike – especially the latter.

The Mythical Man-Month: Essays on Software Engineering Overview

No book on software project management has been so influential and so timeless as The Mythical Man-Month. Now 20 years after the publication of his book, Frederick P. Brooks, Jr. (best known as the “father of the IBM System 360″) revisits his original ideas and develops new thoughts and advice both for readers familiar with his work and for readers discovering it for the first time.

The Mythical Man-Month: Essays on Software Engineering Specifications

The classic book on the human elements of software engineering. Software tools and development environments may have changed in the 21 years since the first edition of this book, but the peculiarly nonlinear economies of scale in collaborative work and the nature of individuals and groups has not changed an epsilon. If you write code or depend upon those who do, get this book as soon as possible — from Amazon.com Books, your library, or anyone else. You (and/or your colleagues) will be forever grateful. Very Highest Recommendation.

10 Actual, Official LSAT PrepTests Review

Hot!!!

Special Price Here

I noticed this book along with my other two LSAT-prep purchases today looking back at age-old Amazon purchases for fun. Law school and the bar exam were several years ago for me, and I can honestly say now that I’ve been practicing law for a few years that this was one of the best investments I ever made. This book and its companion 10 More Actual, Official LSAT PrepTests (Lsat Series) are without question the best way to prep.

Before law school, I worked for two major test prep companies, and when I started preparing for the LSAT, I decided not to spend the thousands of dollars for a full length course. Instead, I focused on taking practice tests and going over any question I missed in intense detail to make sure I knew why I got the question wrong. Rinse and repeat. What I’d recommend is to take the first 10 tests without timing yourself, and when you go over each question, see if you can figure out for yourself why you got the question wrong. If possible, get someone else to grade the test for you so that you don’t know the correct answer, and see if you can arrive at the correct answer on your second try. Then take the second test of 10 tests timed under full test conditions.

Over time, if you are being careful with your test-taking and learning from your mistakes, you’ll see your score go up, and that’s exactly what I saw happening as time went on. I worked through these tests and moved from a score in the 160s up into the 170s. When it came time to take the real test, it was far less stressful as I was able to tell myself it was “just another test” – after all, I had already worked through 20 on my own. I scored in the high 170s, got into a good law school, and now years later, I have a great job at a great law firm.

If you want to be an attorney, you have to beat the LSAT first, and this is hands down the best way to go about it.

This is a handy little pocket guide for those who are looking to format a paper according to the APA. The entire book is clearly marked as to category and function. It also includes great tips on grammar and sentence structure. If, however, the intended reader is looking toward publishing a paper or needs formal APA format advice, this guide does not include enough detailed information. Great guide for undergrad students who are needing a little bit more information than a regular writing guide offers.

Concise Rules of APA Style (Concise Rules of the American Psychological Association (APA) Style) Overview

The Concise Rules of APA Style, Sixth Edition offers essential writing and formatting standards for students, teachers, researchers, and clinicians in the social and behavioral sciences. This easy-to-use pocket guide, compiled from the sixth edition of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, provides complete guidance on the rules of style that are critical for clear communication. Readers will learn how to avoid the grammatical errors most commonly reported by journal editors; how to choose the appropriate format for statistics, figures, and tables; how to credit sources and avoid charges of plagiarism; and how to construct a reference list through a wide variety of examples and sources.

In addition to guidance on grammar points that have challenged writers in the social sciences, the Concise Rules provides suggestions for reducing bias in language; reviews the mechanics of style for punctuation, spelling, capitalization, abbreviation, italicization, headings, and quotations; examines the preferred use of numbers as well as standards for metrication and statistics; provides guidance on the construction and formatting of tables, figures, and appendixes; and offers clear examples and models for citing sources and constructing error-free reference lists.

How does the Concise Rules differ from the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association? The Publication Manual remains the best source for broad background information about scientific publishing. It provides detailed guidance on publication ethics, journal article reporting standards, and the process of journal publication. The Concise Rules, by comparison, targets only those rules writers need for choosing the best words and format for their articles. It offers a comprehensive list of essential writing standards in a convenient, easily retrievable format.

Available in a light-weight, spiral-bound format, the Concise Rules will travel easily from home to school to office. It will be an invaluable reference tool for all social science scholars who are serious about communicating clearly and effectively.

Key to this edition is an updated and expanded APA Style website, with many additional resources to help readers learn APA style, including free tutorials, on-line courses, frequently asked questions, sample papers, and the APA Style blog.

The sixth edition of Concise Rules has been revised and updated to include

-simplified APA heading style to make it more conducive to electronic publication;
-updated guidelines for reducing bias in language to reflect current practices and preferences, including a new section on presenting historical language that is inappropriate by present standards;
-new guidelines for reporting inferential statistics and a significantly revised table of statistical abbreviations;
-a new discussion on the use of online supplemental materials, including lengthy data sets and other media, to enrich the published article;
-significantly expanded content on the electronic presentation of data to help readers understand the purpose of each kind of display and choose the best match for communicating the results of the investigation, with new examples for a variety of data displays, including electrophysiological and biological data;
-an expanded discussion of electronic sources, emphasizing the role of the digital object identifier (DOI) as a reliable way to locate information; and
-a wealth of new reference examples, with a focus on new electronic formats.

New and experienced readers alike will find the sixth edition a complete resource for writing with clarity and precision.

Easy Readers – English – Level 4: Slaughterhouse Five (German Edition) Review

Hot!!!

Special Price Here

I just finished this book today. I worked at Borders Bookstore and this book was often on the list of many students. I was always put off by this and scratched it off my list to read (huge mistake on my part) I no longer work at Borders and recently I picked up this book. I cannot begin to tell you what a fan I am of Kurt Vonnegut. It was a pure pleasure to read this book and the writing was something that took me away. There are some great reviews on this book-so I will not attempt to write my own. I can say, Vonnegut is a genius and all his books have a way of writing that bring a reader back to his books.

Easy Readers – English – Level 4: Slaughterhouse Five (German Edition) Overview

Kurt Vonnegut’s absurdist classic Slaughterhouse-Five introduces us to Billy Pilgrim, a man who becomes ‘unstuck in time’ after he is abducted by aliens from the planet Tralfamadore. In a plot-scrambling display of virtuosity, we follow Pilgrim simultaneously through all phases of his life, concentrating on his (and Vonnegut’s) shattering experience as an American prisoner of war who witnesses the firebombing of Dresden.

Slaughterhouse-Five is not only Vonnegut’s most powerful book, it is also as important as any written since 1945. Like Catch-22, it fashions the author’s experiences in the Second World War into an eloquent and deeply funny plea against butchery in the service of authority. Slaughterhouse-Five boasts the same imagination, humanity, and gleeful appreciation of the absurd found in Vonnegut’s other works, but the book’s basis in rock-hard, tragic fact gives it unique poignancy — and humor.

Don’t let the ease of reading fool you–Vonnegut’s isn’t a conventional, or simple, novel. He writes, “There are almost no characters in this story, and almost no dramatic confrontations, because most of the people in it are so sick, and so much the listless playthings of enormous forces. One of the main effects of war, after all, is that people are discouraged from being characters…” Slaughterhouse-Five (taken from the name of the building where the POWs were held) is not only Vonnegut’s most powerful book, it is as important as any written since 1945. Like Catch- 22, it fashions the author’s experiences in the Second World War into an eloquent and deeply funny plea against butchery in the service of authority.

When ever you can save on a college text book that you’ll be lucky if the bookstore will buy back, it is great!
