1.Cradle to Cradle: Remaking the Way We Make ThingsCradle to Cradle: Remaking the Way We Make Things
from North Point Press
Price: $18.15

Customer Review:
McDonough & Baumgarten have re-envisioned how companies might redesign their manufacturing processes to actually leave the environment better than they found it. And create better products in the end, products that people will want to buy because they are well-designed.
What I love about... more info

2.The Design of Everyday ThingsThe Design of Everyday Things
from Basic Books
Price: $11.53

Customer Review:
As a human being we think we know other people and how they see and use products. This book tells many amusing anecdotes about products that were not successful because the designer made the things is a way he would have liked and not in the way real users use it. The book is written full of humor... more info

3.The Laws of Simplicity (Simplicity: Design, Technology, Business, Life)The Laws of Simplicity (Simplicity: Design, Technology, Business, Life)
from The MIT Press
Price: $14.28

Customer Review:
The reviews convinced me to buy this one.
After reading it, I think it's highly overrated. It has 10 "rules", each is true and important, but none of them is new. The problem is that the rest of book, explaining each of the rules, contributes very little.
I'm sorry, but I expect a book... more info

4.Microsoft Office Project 2007 Step by Step (Step By Step (Microsoft))Microsoft® Office Project 2007 Step by Step (Step By Step (Microsoft))
from Microsoft Press
Price: $19.79

Customer Review:
One of the best reference books I have ever read (and I have read a lot of them). The authors take you 'step by step' through every critical feature in MS Project. The procedures are very straightforward; there is virtually no way to screw up their instructions. Even if you know nothing about... more info

5.Do You Matter? How Great Design Will Make People Love Your CompanyDo You Matter? How Great Design Will Make People Love Your Company
from FT Press
Price: $16.49

Customer Review:
This is a curious book -- an industrial design book where most of the product shots are in black and white and relegated to the margins. I'm not entirely sure how to think of this.
Good design books have an almost porn-like quality to them -- when you pick one up, you expect to see the best the... more info

6.Sketching User Experiences: Getting the Design Right and the Right Design (Interactive Technologies)Sketching User Experiences: Getting the Design Right and the Right Design (Interactive Technologies)
from Morgan Kaufmann
Price: $32.97

Customer Review:
The word 'design' in English covers such a wide range of activities that it has become unusfully vague, applying as well to designing a business model as to designing a frock. Bill Buxton describes the activities of designers who have usually been to design school rather than engineering or business... more info

from Microsoft Press
Price: $19.79

Customer Review:
I bought this book because I was starting a new job and needed to be more familiar with MS Project. This book has been little help to me. It's not for someone who wants to grab the book and look up something quick. If you have free time and would like to learn Project as if you were in a class then... more info

9.The Box: How the Shipping Container Made the World Smaller and the World Economy BiggerThe Box: How the Shipping Container Made the World Smaller and the World Economy Bigger
from Princeton University Press
Price: $10.17

Customer Review:
Shipping containers are prosaic and uninteresting, but they are key to the way we live our lives and earn our livings.
Globalization has had a profound impact on how we work, how we shop and how we live. One of the key enablers of globalization is low cost reliable shipping. Shipping container... more info

10.Toyota Production System: Beyond Large-Scale ProductionToyota Production System: Beyond Large-Scale Production
from Productivity Press
Price: $31.18

Customer Review:
I was going to give this book four stars, but I was going to be unfair with it. This is not a guide to create a lean enterprise, it was not meant to be one and I was going to judge it as if it was.
This is a great introduction to the Toyota Production System and lean philosophy, by nobody else... more info
