Title: Software Project Survival Guide Publisher: Microsoft Press Authors: Steve C McConnell Rating: 3/5  I was disappointed in this book - perhaps it was a problem with expectations. McConnell's previous books - Code Complete and Rapid Development -were very well written and provided valuable insights into best practices in the computer industry. By attempting to do the same thing here, the author missed the mark. The Software Project Survival Guide presents a road map marked with good practice applied in a mature organization that understands the nature of software and responds rationally, providing the resources and time required to do the job right. The overwhelming majority of people who are taking on their first project management job will have few, if any, of the benefits that this book takes for granted. Don't get me wrong. This is a great collection of really good ideas and it's really well written, but it doesn't give much guidance to the first-time project manager who needs to deal with misdirection and misunderstanding from those who he or she reports to. The book presents a fine set of suggestions on "Techniques for Really Good Project Management," but there isn't much on "Survival."

Title: Assembly Language for Intel-Based Computers (4th Edition) Publisher: Prentice Hall Authors: Kip R. Irvine Rating: 4/5  I'm actually the author, but I want you to know that the book includes a full, professional copy of the Microsoft 6.11 Assembler, which normally retails for $60. Where can you get a better deal than that? Contact me by email if you have any more questions.

Title: QED: The Strange Theory of Light and Matter Publisher: Princeton University Press Authors: Richard Phillips Feynman Rating: 4/5 I'm not really sure why I bought this book, or exactly why I read it cover to cover. I was strolling through the bookstore, and came across it, and the next thing you know I was at the checkout stand with it in my hand. I have a degree in business, not physics, math, or any other "physical" science degree. Just found it really interesting. Sick, huh?
