GRE 4000

The 4000 Words Essential for the GRE

By: Jeff Kolby

The verbal section of the GRE is essentially a vocabulary test. With a few exceptions, if you know the word, you will probably be able to answer the question correctly. Thus, it is crucial that you improve your vocabulary. Even if you have a strong vocabulary, you will still encounter unfamiliar words on the GRE. Many students write off questions, which contain words, they don't recognize. This is a mistake. This book introduces numerous techniques that decode unfamiliar words and prod your memory of words you only half-remember. With these techniques, you will often be able to squeeze out enough meaning from an unfamiliar word to answer a question correctly. Nevertheless, don't rely on just these techniques--you must study word lists. Obviously, you cannot attempt to memorize the dictionary, and you don't need to. The GRE tests a surprisingly limited number of words, and this book has 4000 prime candidates. Granted, memorizing a list of words is rather dry, but it is probably the most effective way of improving your performance on the verbal section. All the words you need for success on the GRE! Features: * 4000 Words Defined * Word Analysis section * 200 Prefixes, Roots, and Suffixes * Concise, practical definitions

The Definitive Guide to Grails

By: Graeme Rocher,Jeff Scott Brown

The rise of Ruby on Rails has signified a huge shift in how we build web applications today; it is a fantastic framework with a growing community. There is, however, space for another such framework that integrates seamlessly with Java. Thousands of companies have invested in Java, and these same companies are losing out on the benefits of a Rails–like framework. Enter Grails. Grails is not just a Rails clone. It aims to provide a Rails–like environment that is more familiar to Java developers and employs idioms that Java developers are comfortable using, making the adjustment in mentality to a dynamic framework less of a jump. The concepts within Grails, like interceptors, tag libs, and Groovy Server Pages (GSP), make those in the Java community feel right at home. Grails' foundation is on solid open source technologies such as Spring, Hibernate, and SiteMesh, which gives it even more potential in the Java space: Spring provides powerful inversion of control and MVC, Hibernate brings a stable, mature object relational mapping technology with the ability to integrate with legacy systems, and SiteMesh handles flexible layout control and page decoration. Grails complements these with additional features that take advantage of the coding–by–convention paradigm such as dynamic tag libraries, Grails object relational mapping, Groovy Server Pages, and scaffolding. Graeme Rocher, Grails lead and founder, and Jeff Brown bring you completely up–to–date with their authoritative and fully comprehensive guide to the Grails framework. You'll get to know all the core features, services, and Grails extensions via plug–ins, and understand the roles that Groovy and Grails are playing in the changing Web.

Cracking the COOP & HSPT

By: Jeff Rubenstein

The Princeton Review realizes that acing the COOP and HSPT is very different than getting straight As in school. TPR doesn't try to teach students everything there is to know about math, reading, and English -- only the techniques they'll need to score higher on the COOP and HSPT.There's a big difference.InCracking the COOP & HSPT, TPR will teach test-takers how to think like the test-makers. This is accomplished by teaching students how to: Use process of elimination to eliminate choices that look right but are planted to fool the test-taker Use "Ballparking" on mathematics sections to narrow the answer choices and save time Learn how pace oneself, to avoid "dumb mistakes", and earn a higher score Improve scores by focusing on the material most likely to be tested *This book includes 4 full-length simulated exams: 2 COOP and 2 HSPT. All of The Princeton Review's sample test questions are like the ones test-takers will see on the actual COOP and HSPT tests, and every solution is fully explained. Contents Include: Part I: Cracking the COOP What is the COOP? Memory Sequences Analogies Verbal Reasoning Reading Comprehension Mathematics Language Expression Answers to COOP extensions Part II: COOP Practice Tests Part III: Cracking the HSPT What is the HSPT? Vocabulary Verbal Skills Quantitative Skills Reading Comprehension and Vocabulary Mathematics Language Answers to HSPT Exercises Part IV: HSPT Practice Tests

Ovenman: A Novel

By: Jeff Parker

This debut novel follows When Thinfinger--skateboarder, kitchen worker extraordinaire, and ne'er-do-well with a slightly tarnished heart of gold--and the trail of Post-It notes he relies on to make sense of his world. When a robbery occurs at his beloved pizza parlor, things begin to heat up for Ovenman. Skateboarder, restaurant worker, and punk rocker wannabe, the antihero of Jeff Parker’s uproariously funny debut novel adds a new twist to the classic coming-of-age story. Our hero, When Thinfinger, is a ne’er-do-well with a slightly tarnished heart of gold, and relies on Post-it notes to help him make sense of the chaos and momentum of his life: a girlfriend who dreams he murders her, a long lost Biodad who writes letters filled with lies, a televised war that is over before it has even begun, and a robbery he can’t remember committing.

The Intrapreneur’s Journey

Empowering Employees to Drive Growth

By: Hugh Molotsi,Mjumo Mzyece,Ogundiran Soumonni,Jeff Zias

An essential business guide on how to develop an organization's innovation culture and internal entrepreneurs (intrapreneurs) The Intrapreneur’s Journey: Empowering Employees to Drive Growth is an essential guide on effectively creating and implementing a sustainable culture of innovation and entrepreneurship within organizations. The book is based on the insight that established organizations see continuous delivery of innovative products, services and processes when they enable teams of entrepreneurial employees to think and behave like start-ups. Three qualities make this book unique. First, it explores the theory and practice of intrapreneurship and innovation with a particular, but not exclusive focus on key issues in African contexts. Second, it includes a large, diverse set of instructive examples and case studies of intrapreneurship and innovation in organizations in Africa. And third, it features a useful toolkit: the Intrapreneurship Empowerment Model, a simple yet complete implementation framework. The book includes key resources of practical, real-world tools and assets used by some of the world’s most intrapreneurial and innovative organizations. The Intrapreneur’s Journey adds value for both practitioners and scholars of intrapreneurship and innovation in Africa and other parts of the world.

Lean UX

Designing Great Products with Agile Teams

By: Jeff Gothelf,Josh Seiden

UX design has traditionally been deliverables-based. Wireframes, site maps, flow diagrams, content inventories, taxonomies, mockups helped define the practice in its infancy.Over time, however, this deliverables-heavy process has put UX designers in the deliverables business. Many are now measured and compensated for the depth and breadth of their deliverables instead of the quality and success of the experiences they design. Designers have become documentation subject matter experts, known for the quality of the documents they create instead of the end-state experiences being designed and developed.So what's to be done? This practical book provides a roadmap and set of practices and principles that will help you keep your focus on the the experience back, rather than the deliverables. Get a tactical understanding of how to successfully integrate Lean and UX/Design; Find new material on business modeling and outcomes to help teams work more strategically; Delve into the new chapter on experiment design and Take advantage of updated examples and case studies.

Web Bloopers

60 Common Web Design Mistakes, and How to Avoid Them

By: Jeff Johnson

The dot.com crash of 2000 was a wake-up call, and told us that the Web has far to go before achieving the acceptance predicted for it in '95. A large part of what is missing is quality; a primary component of the missing quality is usability. The Web is not nearly as easy to use as it needs to be for the average person to rely on it for everyday information, commerce, and entertainment.In response to strong feedback from readers of GUI BLOOPERS calling for a book devoted exclusively to Web design bloopers, Jeff Johnson calls attention to the most frequently occurring and annoying design bloopers from real web sites he has worked on or researched. Not just a critique of these bloopers and their sites, this book shows how to correct or avoid the blooper and gives a detailed analysis of each design problem. Hear Jeff Johnson's interview podcast on software and website usability at the University of Canterbury (25 min.) - Discusses in detail 60 of the most common and critical web design mistakes, along with the solutions, challenges, and tradeoffs associated with them. - Covers important subject areas such as: content, task-support, navigation, forms, searches, writing, link appearance, and graphic design and layout. - Organized and formatted based on the results of its own usability test performed by web designers themselves. - Features its own web site (www.web-bloopers.com)with new and emerging web design no-no's (because new bloopers are born every day) along with a much requested printable blooper checklist for web designers and developers to use.

Philosophical Rhetoric

The Function of Indirection in Philosophical Writing

By: Jeff Mason

This book, originally published in 1989 discusses an issue central to all philosophical argument – the relation between persuasion and truth. The techniques of persuasion are indirect and not always fully transparent. Whether philosophers and theoreticians are for or against the use of rhetoric, they engage in rhetorical practice none the less. Focusing on Plato, Descartes, Kant, Kierkegaard, Nietzsche and Wittgenstein, this book uncovers philosophical rhetoric at work and reminds us of the rhetorical arena in which philosophical writings are produced and considered.

Fired Up!

By: Jeff Blank,Sara Courington

JEFF BLANK has owned Hudson's on the Bend since 1984. His originality and creativity in the kitchen have earned him praise by the New York Times, Men's Journal, and many more publications. He is coauthor of Cooking Fearlessly, along with Jay Moore and Deborah Harter. He lives in Austin, Texas. Combine wild ingredients, a little kitchen chemistry, and a disregard for the ordinary, and you get the Hudson's on the Bend philosophy -a no-holds-barred approach to cooking that is pure Texas and a helluva good time. FIRED UP is the second cookbook to come out of Hudson's on the Bend restaurant, located outside of Austin, where chef Jeff Blank preaches and practices an adventurous cuisine as big and robust as the Lone Star State. Experience their latest daring dishes, like Hot and Crunchy Oysters on Sesame Crisps with Mango Salsa and Spicy Ancho Paint; Root Beer Ribs with Sarsaparilla BBQ Sauce; and Giant Rabbit Ravioli in Garlic Ancho Sage Butter. This fearlessly flavorful food is not for the faint of heart.
