Math Handbook.......2007-08-03
I was impressed by the fact that this book links mathematics. Rather than having many text books that include the development of the equation I am looking for, this book is organized to allow me to find the equation quickly.
Outstandingly clear and easy to use.......2007-04-25
The more I use this book the more I like it. I use five "handbook-type" sources: this book, the old NBS handbook, the handbook by Bronshtein and Semendatyev, MathWorld on line, and Wikipedia on line; all have their virtues, and I would not do without any one of them. The great virtue of the CRC handbook is not that it's complete, which it isn't, and which no handbook can hope to be. Rather, given that the use of a handbook is to fill in missing facts or techniques in one's knowledge, that I can understand almost anything in the CRC handbook by reading it just once, without having to cross-reference to other sources or other parts of the book. This is an extremely difficult thing to achieve, and I tip my hat to the contributors and editors for doing it so well.
Inevitably, the book pays a price for this. It's most notable in Chapter 8, "Scientific Computing", which is remarkably clear, at the expense of detailed discussion. Fine; so be it. At least I can understand everything it says. Given my druthers, I might have omitted some things from the book to make space for more thorough coverage of certain topics. My criterion wold be based on the assumption that anyone who refers to this volume with any frequency can be presumed to have a reasonably good scientific pocket calculator, so that those things that can be determined by a few keystrokes on a calculator could be safely omitted from this handbook. For example, although a discussion of indefinite integrals and a list of some of the less obvious ones is clearly appropriate, my pocket calculator will disgorge 95% of those listed in a 36-page table in this book if I just enter the integrand and ask for the indefinite integral by a single comand. Hence, my own preference would be to limit the list in the handbook to perhaps 5 pages, including discussion, and use that space to give more coverage to special functions and the relationships among those. But that's purely a matter of personal preference.
An additional advantage of this handbook is that it's inexpensive, considering how much it contains. I get discouraged by the prevalence of technical books that I could really use, but which sell for so much that I can only consult them in my local library or get them on interlibrary loan. This book is inexpensive enough so that any techie who wants a copy can have his or her own. I wish there were more like it.
CRC.......2007-03-08
More tables than you could ever want. Could use a little more detail on things such as tan, cos, sin tables instead of just every 5 degrees.
Still great, but somethings missing.......2007-01-19
This is still a great resource. However, this edition leaves out many of the tables (though a calculator will generate them) and the information on basic geometric shapes (e.g., volume, area) is difficult to use as a quick reference. The book puts too much emphasis on analytical geometry which makes this version harder for engineers to use. Still is a great value.
Another CRC Standard.......2007-01-17
The mathematician's "Bible." Great reference book it is; textbook it's not. Not only are equations listed, but some guidelines are provided as to how and when equations apply. Healthy amount of integrals and trig identities are listed that you probably can't find anywhere else. Chances are, "If it can be integrated, then it's in here." Chaos theory and fuzzy logic are addressed. You name it, this book has it. Great for the calculus, physics, and trigonometry students.

Get one for you, and one for a friend.......2005-08-03
John C. Maxwell is (in my opinion) the best author on leadership. If you are looking for a gift to show a friend how much you value him/her, this is the book. I bought two to give out as gifts,and will be ordering soon another one to keep for myself. John Maxwell...YOU DID IT AGAIN!!!!
Friends for a Lifetime.......1999-12-02
Recently I was browsing for a book for a lifelong friend and came across this book. As I read through this book I truly felt that it had all the words to express how much I cherish & treasure the friendship I have with him. This book puts famous quotes from the Bible as well as noteworthy people from the past and present. I found it to be a wonderful gift to send to my longtime friend as a true expression of myself and what our friendship means. I would highly recommend it to anyone that has had the great privilege of having a good friend.

An amazing treasure to give to all your friends!.......2000-06-12
The illustrations are whimsical and the messages eternal! All 127 pages are a pure delight. This is a collection of quotes which bring to mind the shared memories between friends. This tiny treasure is divided into five sections. The introduction describes friendship in detail and then the rest of the pages contain famous quotes or brief passages about friendship.
My favorite quote is: "Happiness is the by-product of an effort to make someone else happy. - Gretta Palmer (b. 1905) American Writer. At this price you can order at least one or two of these books for all your friends. As you can see from the cover picture, this is a brightly illustrated book. Some of the pages also have pastel backgrounds.
Some of the best gifts I have ever received have been tiny books. I put them in my purse and enjoy reading them when I have to wait in line or wait for a table at a restaurant. With this book, it is time well spent.

Uncle buying for a niece.......2006-01-19
It is difficult for people of different generations to find a perfect gift. For my niece I thought that the best thing I could give her in her formative years is a sense of self esteem. Talking was not always the best way. I was lucky to find a book that was meaningful to us both.
will connect with teenage girls.......2006-01-19
I have a couple of girl friendship quote and photography books but this is one which I think will appeal to multiple generations of women, unlike my other books. Catherine Dee has included quotes from female Gen Y heros like Michele Kwan: "If you have nothing in life but a great friend, you're rich."
My 14 year old niece worships Michelle Kwan so I think she would appreciate this, as well as her grandma who worshipped Erma Bombeck.
Catherine hits a home run!!!!.......2006-01-12
I can't believe it, another gem by Catherine Dee. What a beautiful book of friendship, life lessons and quotes. This book helps to complete the set of Ms. Dee's other works. With beautiful shorts stories, whimsical quotes and words of inspiration, The Girls "Book of Friendship" is the perfect tool for teaching young girls how to build long-term relationships at the same time, providing words of encourage and empowerment.
I was thrilled to be able to give my daughter something tailored to her. This book lays a great foundation for "Girl Power" and enforces a strength in young ladies which will help them take on the world and deal with the obstacles in it.
Keep em coming Catherine!!!!!!
Not What I'd Hoped For.......2005-12-06
After reading the glowing reviews, I was hoping for something spectacular. First of all, it is a small book, about 6x6 inches - $10 is too much for this small book. Next, I flipped through and read a few of the quotes, but couldn't see myself -or my daughter, the intended recipient- reading for more than a couple of minutes. Sorry, I'm just not impressed. This book, along with the other 3 in the series are all going back.
Bringing Joy after Surgery.......2005-07-27
I was recently in the hospital for open-heart surgery. My dear friend gave me the book of friendship. It meant so much to me for two reasons. One is that it is full of such wonderful quotes and shoret stories, and gave me some great memories and cemented my friendhip with the girl who gave it to me, and secondly, due to the brevity of the quotes and stories it was easy for me to pick up and read and put down when I got tired. It is so hard to concentrate on long stories when first out of surgery, so this book was perfect. It took me two weeks to read it all, but worth very minute.

Wonderful!.......1999-10-01
Cheering, sweet and full of classic words. Perfectly delightful, romantic too, makes a perfect gift for not only a close friend, but your loved one too.
Book Description
A friend is said to be "a treasure," "the gift of God," "the greatest of all blessings," and "better than a therapist." In the number-one bestseller Life's Little Instruction Book™, H. Jackson Brown, Jr., offered suggestions on how to cultivate, maintain, and nourish friendships. Many of Brown's readers sent their own insights to him. Here he adds some of these discoveries to his own observations on friendship along with favorite quotations. "It is my hope, " he says, "that this little book might be used to strengthen and renew friendships, for, as Ben Franklin observed, a friend is both a treasure and a comfort."
This charming hardcover mini-book includes entries from all three volumes of Life's Little Instruction Book™ and other books by H. Jackson Brown, Jr. on the subject of friendship. In addition, it features new material written and complied exclusively for this volume.
Distinctive in beauty and presentation, the "Treasure Book" series is elegantly designed and printed on the finest paper. They are the perfect gift for those times when you want something more meaningful than a traditional greeting card.
Customer Reviews:
Small book filled with big meaningful bits re: Friendships.......1998-08-04
This is indeed a very small treasure book made up of pieces taken from other H. Jackson Brown, Jr.'s Little Books of Instruction. The quotes, verses, and scriptures are meaningful, and thought provoking . They are also qreat to use on private cards, letters, and encouragements fo friends. It can make you take a whole new look at your relationships with people and wonder if they are friends or merely acquaintances.
Also makes a great little thinking of you gift for a friend instead of an expensive care that says far less.
