Pages : 325
Book Description
Five years and more than 100,000 copies after it was first published, it's hard to imagine anyone working in Web design who hasn't read Steve Krug's "instant classic" on Web usability, but people are still discovering it every day. In this second edition, Steve adds three new chapters in the same style as the original: wry and entertaining, yet loaded with insights and practical advice for novice and veteran alike. Don't be surprised if it completely changes the way you think about Web design. Three New Chapters! Usability as common courtesy -- Why people really leave Web sites Web Accessibility, CSS, and you -- Making sites usable and accessible Help! My boss wants me to ______. -- Surviving executive design whims "I thought usability was the enemy of design until I read the first edition of this book. Don't Make Me Think! showed me how to put myself in the position of the person who uses my site. After reading it over a couple of hours and putting its ideas to work for the past five years, I can say it has done more to improve my abilities as a Web designer than any other book. In this second edition, Steve Krug adds essential ammunition for those whose bosses, clients, stakeholders, and marketing managers insist on doing the wrong thing. If you design, write, program, own, or manage Web sites, you must read this book." -- Jeffrey Zeldman, author of Designing with Web Standards

How 2 Look Good Naked: The Least Amount Of Effort, To Look The Best With Your Clothes Off
Author: Logan Emmett Herlihy
Publisher: Logan Emmett Herlihy
ISBN: 9780578450865
Category : Health & Fitness
Languages : en
Pages : 202
Book Description
How 2 Look Good Naked was created after a decade long search to find the best way to exercise efficiently, effectively, and with results worth talking about. For the longest time I was indoctrinated with the idea that, more exercise equals better exercise, and as I've found through my journey in the last two years, this is absolutely not the case. This book is a beginners approach (the one I took) to the field of evidence based exercise. Hopefully to be used as a tool to get readers more interested in the field of Evidence Based Exercise (sometimes called High Intensity Training), or at the very least to help people convinced they don't have the time to get results from less than an hour of training per week. The diet portion of this book is a blend of my own personal experience with the Ketogenic Diet. What has worked for me (and been extremely effective) and the parts that didn't serve me. My hope is with both the exercise and diet portion of this book, people will find something different they've never experienced before. More than following my plan to the letter, I hope it invigorates readers (through some success) to inquire what else could work for them, and to pursue that. I don't proclaim to know anything (or even very much), but I hope this book offers readers an opportunity to get interested in their own health and to become experts of their own bodies. I wish everyone who reads this the best of luck on their own fitness journey, and I hope if anything, I can just help along the way.

Make Your Bed

ISBN: 1455570230
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 144
Book Description
Based on a Navy SEAL's inspiring graduation speech, this #1 New York Times bestseller of powerful life lessons "should be read by every leader in America" (Wall Street Journal). If you want to change the world, start off by making your bed. On May 17, 2014, Admiral William H. McRaven addressed the graduating class of the University of Texas at Austin on their Commencement day. Taking inspiration from the university's slogan, "What starts here changes the world," he shared the ten principles he learned during Navy Seal training that helped him overcome challenges not only in his training and long Naval career, but also throughout his life; and he explained how anyone can use these basic lessons to change themselves-and the world-for the better. Admiral McRaven's original speech went viral with over 10 million views. Building on the core tenets laid out in his speech, McRaven now recounts tales from his own life and from those of people he encountered during his military service who dealt with hardship and made tough decisions with determination, compassion, honor, and courage. Told with great humility and optimism, this timeless book provides simple wisdom, practical advice, and words of encouragement that will inspire readers to achieve more, even in life's darkest moments. "Powerful." --USA Today "Full of captivating personal anecdotes from inside the national security vault." --Washington Post "Superb, smart, and succinct." --Forbes

Pages : 466
Book Description
The vicious Mexican cartel war boils over into the Big Bend in the explosive new novel from the author of The Far Empty and High White Sun. In the Mexican borderlands, a busload of student protesters is gunned down in broad daylight, a violent act blamed on the Nemesio cartel. But its aging leader, Fox Uno, sees the attack for what it is: another salvo in the long-running battle for control of Nemesio itself; perhaps by a rival cartel, or maybe someone closer to home... Across the Rio Grande, Sheriff Chris Cherry and his deputies America Reynosa and Danny Ford find themselves caught in Fox Uno's escalating war with the recent discovery of five dead men at the river's edge. But when El Paso DEA agent Joe Garrison's own Nemesio investigation leads him into the heart of the Big Bend, he's not ready to accept the cartel leader's retreat or defeat. Not only does he suspect a high-profile drug task force in a neighboring county is corrupt, he can't shake lingering doubts about the loyalty and motives of the young deputy, Ame Reynosa. And he won't let Sheriff Cherry ignore them either. In this pitiless land it's kill or be killed, where everyone will make one final bloody stand to decide the fate of Nemesio, the law in the Big Bend, and most of all, the future of America Reynosa.
