The primary goal for this program is to motivate. Students and adults alike who feel they are “poor at mathematics” often perform below their true ability level in other scholastic courses and in the workplace, by avoiding math. Our system will not make each person who studies it a genius, however, those who practice the strategies will look at math and all other courses of study in a more enjoyable and more confident light. You will be acquiring a more healthy self concept and attitude towards numbers and higher mathematics.................

The Philosopher's Toolkit: A Compendium of Philosophical Concepts and Methods (CourseSmart)

304 pages | Publisher: Wiley-Blackwell; 2 edition (May 3, 2010) | English | ISBN-10: 1405190183
"The Philosopher’s Toolkit is a very good book. It could be highly useful for both introductory courses in philosophy, or philosophical methodology, as well as independent study for anyone interested in the methods of argument, assessment and criticism used in contemporary analytic philosophy. It is unique in approach, and written in a pleasant and considerate tone. Its authors are both competent philosophers, and the book visibly reflects their deep sympathy to the discipline and their appreciation of its unique character. This book will help one to get going to do philosophy, but more advanced students might find this text helpful too. I wish I had had access to this book as an undergraduate." Teaching Philosophy

"This book is ... an encyclopedia of philosophy. It should be of great use as a quick and accurate reference guide to the skill of philosophy, especially for beginners, but also for instructors ... highly recommended." (Choice)

"Its choice of tools for basic argument ... is sound, while further tools for argument ... move through topics and examples concisely and wittily... Sources are well chosen and indicated step by step. Sections are cross-referenced (making it better than the Teach Youself "100 philosophical concepts") and supported by a useful index." (Reference Reviews)

"...the average person who is interested in arguments and logic but who doesn't have much background in philosophy would certainly find this book useful, as would anyone teaching a course on arguments, logic, and reasoning. Even introductory courses on philosophy in general might benefit because the book lays out so many of the conceptual "tools" which will prove necessary over students' careers." (About.com)

240 pages | Publisher: Chartwell Books, Inc. (August 31, 2009) | English | ISBN-10: 078581907X
A guide to chocolate includes the history of chocolate throughout the world, innovative ideas for cooking chocolate, and entrees that include chocolate, as well as delectable desserts, cookies, candies, and cocoas. 25,000 first printing." --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Review
Okay, we know you only read The Chocolate Bible for the articles, but will your friends believe you? After all, this stunning book is so overflowing with luscious photographs of chocolate in all its delectable varieties, shapes, and forms that it's hard to believe one could get any reading done under the circumstances. Still, if you can tear your eyes away from the illustrations, the text in this beautiful reference work is well worth perusing. From the history of chocolate in the first chapter to the recipes featuring a savory rather than sweet version of the bean in the last, The Chocolate Bible lives up to its name as the definitive resource.

Consider unusual dishes such as Noodles with Chocolate or Mexico's wondrous combination of chiles and chocolate to make Mole sauce; how about a recipe for modeling chocolate--a substance you're meant to play with, not eat--The Chocolate Bible has them all. Recipes for macaroons and tortes, wafers and candies, cakes, fillings, and beverages are at the heart of the book, but even if you never attempt a single one, you'll still get hours of pleasure just leafing through the pages--reading the articles, of course.

Handbook on Decision Making, Vol 1: Techniques and Applications (2010)

PDF | English | 1st Edition., 2010 | 548 pages | ISBN: 978-3-642-13638-2 | 10.4 Mb
Decision making is a multi-faceted and challenging, yet important task. A decision maker normally has to take into consideration a number of alternatives, which often conflict with one another, before reaching a good decision. To cope with the challenges of decision making, decision support systems have been developed to provide assistance in human decision making processes. The key to decision support systems is to collect information/data, analyse the information/data collected, and subsequently make quality and informed decisions. In this aspect, intelligent reasoning and learning techniques have emerged as a powerful approach to solving real-world decision making problems. The main aim of this research handbook is to present a small fraction of techniques stemmed from artificial intelligence, as well as other complementary methodologies, that are useful for developing intelligent decision support systems. In addition, application examples on how the intelligent decision support systems can be deployed to undertake decision making problems in a variety of domains are presented.

Among the topics covered in this book include:
• modelling and design of intelligent decision support systems
• artificial neural networks, genetic algorithm, and fuzzy systems for intelligent decision making
• case based reasoning and agent-based systems for intelligent decision making
• application of intelligent decision support systems to business, management, manufacturing, engineering, biomedicine, transportation and food industries.
