.French: Beginner (Collins Language Revolution)

by: Tony Buzan

March 03, 2008
I fully praise this product for differing from the over populated language learning tools market. While the market has many examples of good books and CDs, they are yet to be combined in such a way as this.

The only fault I could really mention is that with the CD refering to the books a lot, it wouldn't be a viable purchase for learning in the car or on the move, for example. You'll need the time to put in to learning your chosen language, but should you put the time in it will pay off.

.Appreciative Inquiry for Change Management: Using AI to Facilitate Organizational Development

by: Sarah Lewis, Jonathan Passmore, Stefan Cantore

December 03, 2007
This book adds significantly to the growing library of books devoted to the process and practice of Appreciative Inquiry. The sub-title of `Using AI to Facilitate Organizational Development' is a very clear summary of the book's content, and it will be particularly valuable to those who know the fundamentals of AI and wish to take their practice to a new level. It is not a `how-to' for AI itself, although it does include excellent chapters on its history and process - so it does not compete with the excellent titles by Watkins & Mohr or Whitney & Trosten-Bloom. Instead it focuses on exploring conversational approaches to organisation development, of which Appreciative Inquiry is at the forefront.

As a starting point, the book focuses ... Read More:

.Cost-Based Oracle Fundamentals: v. 1 (Expert's Voice in Oracle)

by: Jonathan Lewis

October 01, 2005
I like this book, simply because it's as close as we're likely to get to knowing the real workings of the CBO, unless Oracle ever goes Open Source.

Less interesting are the "I think...", "It seems...", etc. musings, because they add nothing of worth... they're just guesses, which have no place in a book founded on evidence.

In spite of the rave reviews that this book has received, I doubt that many of its readers will be putting its content to meaningful use, only because, in reality, it's mainly a low-level description of the CBO's workings, and will take most folk quite some time to both read & digest (I suspect several re-readings would be the norm). I think that this book may turn out to be a bit like the proof of Fermat's Last ... Read More:

.Oracle Insights: Tales of the Oaktable

by: Dave; Gorman, Tim; Hailey, Kyle; Kolk, Anjo; Lewis, Jonathan; McDonald, Connor; Millsap, Cary; Morle, James; Nørgaard, Mogens; Ruthven, David; Vaidyanatha, Gaja Krishna Ensor

This book may not cover tons of Oracle detail, but it has very human side, rarely seen in any technical book, let alone the rather dry topic of database design. If you only ever buy one Oracle design book, make it this one, you will not be disappointed, absolutely superb. The top Oracle "scientists" give their honest and often brutal opinon on some of the major design mistakes that Oracle database designers have made, when they don't fully understand how to use the database. The highlights must be the single table application "Vision" and probably the best beginners guide to tuning with the wait interface available at the moment. I have actually read the book cover to cover, twice now, looking forwad to readin it again!
