. Refactoring: Improving the Design of Existing Code (Object Technology Series)
by: Martin Fowler, Kent Beck, John Brant, William Opdyke, Don Roberts
July 23, 1999
I'd advise people to ignore the negative reviews for the following reasons:
1) People now talk about specific refactorings so, like design patterns, you need to know the names.
2) It was never supposed to teach you good design. If you want to learn that there are good books out there (including by Craig Larman and Robert C. Martin).
3) Some of it is basic but you can ignore that stuff if you want to, and when your doing some of the more complicated refactorings they could well be useful.
4) As Martin Fowler points out you don't need to read it cover to cover, in fact he advises you use it as a reference.
What this does teach you is how to iteratively improve bad code, something every developer ... Read More:

. The Cairngorms (Pocket Mountains)
by: Nick Williams, April Simmons, Don Williams
May 10, 2003
To make the most of this beautiful but vast mountain range, you really do need someone to nudge you in the right direction, which is exactly what Williams has done. This really is a well-put-together series: the routes are well chosen, the descriptions are easy to follow but not oppressive, the maps are great and the photographs are stunning. Williams has managed to make the book remarkably practical, whilst being great to look at. If I had a coffee-table small enough I'd definitely put this book on it. As it is, I'll have to leave it in my fleece pocket. Just in case...

. Southern Highlands (Pocket Mountains)
by: Nick Williams
May 10, 2003
The Pocket Mountains series is excellent, giving outline details of great walks in a small portable format. "Southern Highlands" covers the hills around Loch Lomond and the Trossachs, Glen Lyon, Crianlarich and Tyndrum. The most northerly hills covered are Beinn Dorain and Beinn an Dothaidh by Bridge of Orchy. East it goes as far as Schiehallion, and also covers Ben Lui, Ben More, Ben Lawers, Ben Lomond and many more. There are also a good number of walks which are not Munros but which offer an enjoyable day out including the Ochils, Ben Ledi, and the Cobbler. All the walks are accessible from Glasgow and Edinburgh, most within 2 hours drive. The walk descriptions are brief but allow you to plot the route on a map. Very useful if you don't know the area.

. Northern Highlands (Pocket Mountains)
by: Nick Williams, April Simmons, Don Williams
May 10, 2003
These little, pocket sized, books are ideal for taking out walking with you. This Northern Highlands book, contains 40 challening circular walks including many in and around Torridon. The descriptions are concise and useful. This is a great book from an excellent series. My only (minor) gripe is that the walk times given are very ambitious and seem to include no time for rests, lunch, or admiring the view. Personally, I need to add about 25% to the times given - but maybe I am just getting old. If you are walking in the Torridon area I also recommend Peter Barton's "Torridon: A Walker's Guide".
