Excellent in every department., 2010-02-16
Much was made in the lead up to, during and after Copenhagen. Add to this, the hysteria over UEA 'emailgate' and recent admissions from IPCC regarding "errors" in their recent climate-change reports and you have quite a mix. There have been dozens of claims, counter-claims, allegations, death threats, mud-slinging contests over the last few months and it is getting harder and harder to differentiate between genuine climate change believers, genuine sceptics and many of the ill-informed imbeciles in-between.

I happen to believe in man made Climate Change or AGW or whatever way you like to term it - i have done for some time. I never, however, had a solid grasp of WHY i believed it or the actual science behind it. I just believed it. This book, i found, gave a balanced, well-reasoned, thorough account of what climate is, how it has been created and what our options in confronting it. It avoids all the hyperbole been thrown around by the media and campaigners from various sides. If you want to get informed, away from much of the media sensationalism etc that is out there then take some time out and read this book.

Sensible, rational, balanced. Thoroughly recommended.

Lighthearted Look at Statistics, 2010-02-13
Very much enjoy this book. Bought it for my psychology degree and find the writing style to be quite fresh and light hearted. Exactly what you need when you're looking at graphs. The author seems like a nice fellow and catches you off-guard with jokes sometimes.

Guides for SPSS, as suggested by others, are brilliant and don't just throw formulae at you, but teach you how to use it first.

Anybody looking for a good guide to statistics, get this.

fantastic addition to your book shelf!, 2008-08-22
I purchased this book roughly 6-7 weeks before the actual mathematics exam, thinking that it was too late to revise the majority of the year 9 curriculm. But I found it simple, fun and easy to understand because of its unique teaching methods. For instance it had useful pictures, strange jokes and questions at the end of each chapter to test your knowledge. All of which proved to be extremely helpful, due to the amount of time I had to revise.

This book is a life- saver that fills you with confidence,

Thanks CGP

This book is saving my life., 2010-02-22
For someone suffering depression to any degree, I recommend this book. It covers the reasons behind depression, the effects it can have, methods for coping, and gives examples to show you you are not alone!
Reading this book has made depression understandable, and shown me that there is a light at the end of the tunnel - it's definitely worth a look.

Views of a stretchophobic, 2010-03-09
I have spent 35 years successfully avoiding exercise, and all its related pain and suffering.
Now though I have decided to change all that.
All I remember from P.E. at school is "stretch before and after exercise"
So having no idea of what to do I went on the reviews of this book.
Having read through it, I find the diagrams and instructions easy to follow, and nothing has snapped yet.

the Book keeps things simple, but gives plenty of variations to keep you from loosing interest.

The real FACTS about climate change, 2010-02-24
Christopher Booker puts the whole debate about global warming (or is it now cooling!!) into perspective by presenting a fascinating history of just how we arrived at the ridiculous place we now find ourselves. He presents the scientific FACTS, not assumptions based on computer models. The outputs of those models are pre-determined by the assumption in the input data that global warming is caused by increases in greenhouse gases. Booker shows, THROUGH EVIDENCE AND REAL DATA, not speculation, that most of the alarmist information being pedalled by the IPCC is completely false.The IPCC, and all those people and organisations whose livelihood now depends upon the acceptance of the greenhouse gas warming idea (I cannot even call it an hypothesis never mind a theory) will continue to doctor reports and rubbish anything and anyone who disagrees with them. Their vested interest in maintaining the IPCC stance is there for all to see. How can they admit without losing face e.g that the polar bear population is very healthy and not vanishing; that sea levels are NOT rising; that the data shows that extreme weather events have NOT increased; that the thickness of polar ice is INCREASING and not decreasing; that from 2002 onwards the global temperature of the earth has FALLEN by what translates into 2 degrees of COOLING per century rather than the IPCC's predictions of 2.4 - 5.3 degrees of warming per century ...Then we have all those who will make millions, maybe billions of pounds through subsidies for wind farms and other renewable energy sources and traders and brokers buying and selling carbon offsets. The global trade in 'carbon credits' was estimated in 2008 to be worth 126 billion dollars!! and some estimate that this figure could rise eventually to 10 TRILLION dollars per year!! Some of the leading advocates of the greenhouse gas idea for global warming are the same people who stand to make all this money.

Tragically for all of us in the west we will be the ones who pay out. Countries like e.g China, Russia, Brazil and India, all of whom are major carbon emitters and whose emissions will increase markedly, have no intention whatsoever of reducing their emissions or their rates of increase. They will all become economically more powerful and we will diminish.
David Milliband, on behalf of the British government, has committed us to an 80% reduction in carbon emissions. NOBODY knows how that might be achieved. Most who have given it any thought know that it is impossible.If we are not very careful then within 10 years we will be suffering power shortages unless this ludicrous policy is changed. What we do know is that all these alternative ways of producing energy are very expensive. This, and much more, is admirably developed in this excellent book which should be essential reading for anyone who wants to really understand what is happening and the dangerous stance that western governments are taking.

Perfect, 2010-01-19
This set of SAT papers is perfect for my needs. My son is just turned seven, about to take end of key stage 1 SATs in May. I wanted some example papers so that I could see how he would fare in the real tests. He didn't get everything right but then that is the idea..it enables you to see where your child needs extra help - how you can help him to earn extra marks..and actually he found the English papers quite good fun. The maths papers are not quite so popular with him, but none the less, helps me know where to give him extra guidance. In classes with 30 children, it's beneficial if you can do a little extra work at home to boost their confidence, and fill the gaps that the teacher may have missed. You can do the tests again in a month or two and show them how well they have progressed.
