Managed DirectX 9 Kick Start : Graphics and Game Programming from Sams Price: $23.79 Customer Review:  It's a bit difficult to compare this book with other MDX books since there are so few. Let me start with what this book does not do. It doesn't teach you to program (in C# or any other language, which isn't all that surprising given the title). I also don't think it is aimed at a beginner in 3D... |

Live from New York: An Uncensored History of Saturday Night Live from Little, Brown Customer Review: I'm not what you call an avid SNL fan. I grew up in the eighties and loved Eddie Murphy and Joe Piscopo but really didn't get back into SNL until Chris Farley reared his head. Live From New York is a fascinating look into the backstage antics and sniping straight from the participants mouths (well,... |

West Point: Two Centuries of Honor and Tradition from Warner Books Price: $49.95 Customer Review: For West Point fans interested in its bicentennial, I recommend "West Point: Two Centuries.." by Robert Cowley. It is like the other lovely books, "West Point: The First 200 Years", "West Point: The Bicentennial Book", and "The Spirit of West Point" in that it is a coffee table book with great... |

Crossings: Photographs from the U.S.-Mexico Border from Monacelli Press Price: $31.50 Customer Review: There aren't many good street photographers shooting with color film. Alex Webb is one of the best. The images in this book span 25 years and focus on the U.S.-Mexico border geographically but their impact is universal. Webb fills the frame with people and objects that make the viewer think and... |

Trading With the Enemy: A Yankee Travels Through Castro's Cuba from Basic Books Price: $13.60 Customer Review: Miller concentrates on the people he meets and keeps away from politics. The result is an entertaining account of his extended visit to Cuba including the time he spent in Havana and travelling throughout the country. I found the book puts a more humanizing face on the country that is always... |

Watching Weather (Accidental Scientist) from Owl Publishing Company Customer Review: "Watching Weather" is a wonderful introduction to weather. The authors explain the basics and build on it to cover "el Ni?o" and other contemporary events. The book is well designed with clear graphics and interesting sidebars. The "Rules of Thumb" are particularly helpful in gauging the... |

The Unfair Advantage from Unfair Advantage Corporation, the Customer Review: Unfortunately [I say because it isn't perfect but almost is] I say this book is the best book for becoming saner. It is more straight forward and easier to understand than Guide to Rational Living by Ellis and Harper. Of course the author uses toilet language and sort of a 'I can take it if that's... |

Power of Ethical Persuasion: From Conflict to Partnership at Work and in Private Life/Cassette from Highbridge Audio Price: $8.25 Customer Review: Most books on persuasion teach you ways to find you "advesaries" weaknesses and exploit them. This book actually gives you the tools to persuade people through true understanding. It also allows the people involved to come to a decision together, so that no one feels like they were manipulated into... |

Travelers' Tales Cuba: True Stories from Travelers' Tales Guides Customer Review:  Of the 35 stories presented in this book, 29 are penned by male writers, leaving female readers choking on moped fumes as these stories are an endless re-telling of Cuban car & motorcycle mechanics in excrutiating detail. Broken up only by tales of fishing, baseball & (mostly married) men... |

Enchanting ramblings about the American Southwest will influence anyone's opinion about this spectacular region of North America. This book provides a great read and much anecdotal knowledge that... |
