The Final Handbook to High Industrial Instruments for Each and each Job

★★★★★ Good book. Great amount of information on all the Pokémon. My niece uses the book often.

★★★★★ Very nice book. Great pics, and lots of info on the characters. Gifted to my granddaughter who is crazy about pokemon and she was thrilled!

★★★★★ Perfect for a Pokemon Fan. This book is perfect for a young Pokémon fan! Lots of pictures and information about a lot of Pokémon. The reading level for this book would be good for an average 8-10 year old.

★★★★★ Great guide. Great guide but fairly basic, Niantic has added so many more Mons since this was printed. Actually pretty nice for the beginner!

★★★★★ Super cool get library binding. Waited for library binding it is well worth it. Super sturdy and my son loves it. Spends hours reading it and learning new things. It is alphabetical which is more helpful for kids learning and not as much a pokedex checklist guide to follow along with games.

★★★★★ Kids love this. My kids love this book and love having me read it to them!

★★★★☆ Good gift for Pokémon fan. I thought it was a cute gift for my nephew. But unlike the other gifts that came to the house my kids weren’t that interested in looking at it. Still think a Pokémon fan would enjoy. Good size, nice photos.

★★★★★ perfect. great item and service

★★★★★ The media could not be loaded.  Muito bom! Tem todos os pokémon de kanto até galar. A descrição tipo em que regiões aparecem(nos jogos provavelmente) os dados dele possíveis movimentos. Tipo uma Pokedex mesmo. Tem as formas regionais, mega evoluções eUltra Beasts também. O livro é todo em inglês,os pokémon são organizados de A a Z de Abomasnow a Zygarde são 560 páginas. Não demorou muito pra chegar e é recomendado pra fans de Pokémon que jogam e colecionam pokémon.

★★★★★ This book has been very well loved by my child and also those we have gifted it to! Perfect for any Pokémon fan - very detailed, hours of entertainment

★★★★★ Muy buen libro, le encantó a mi sobrino.

★★★★★ What a great little buy. It was one of those last minute - just need one more thing - purchases but turned out to be one of the best gifts. My 7 & 9 yr olds are Pokémon mad and keep going back to this book to get all the details on each of the Pokémon. It’s been great for me too, trying to at least attempt to keep up. It’s full colour, great detail, good quality and so much information on all of the pokemon characters including all their evolutions. Great bit of kit for any Pokémon fan. If your worried about buying a book for a child (most children rolling their eyes, boring!) - BUY THIS!!! It’s great!Highly recommended.

★★★★★ The media could not be loaded.  Got it as a gift for my kid who loves Pokemon. It's of great quality and is an amazing purchase.

★★★★★ Fantastic book. If you love haiku, or want to know more about it and see many examples and learn how to teach it this is the book for you.

★★★★★ Haiku for Aspiring Haiku Book Writer. I haven't really dug too deeply into this book but it looks like it is exactly what I wanted.

★★★★☆ So Glad to Finally Have a Copy of This Book. I received a copy of The Haiku Handbook- 25th Anniversary Edition as a Christmas gift. I am so glad to finally have a copy of this classic haiku resource book for myself, instead of borrowing one from our local library.For anyone who writes, teaches or just enjoys haiku poetry, this is a must have book. One that you will refer to again and again, for inspiration, historical references and so much more.A nice presentation for this edition too. Makes a perfect gift. ;<) I certainly thought it was.Only one negative on the book presentation...I did note a couple of typos on the first few pages, something that the publishers might want to correct before reprinting this book.Geraldine Helen Hartman author of the Haiku Reflections series.

★★★★★ Haiku Forever. Fun book with lots of ideas.

★★★★★ Five Stars. haiku is my passion--love this book

★★★★★ I enjoyed every page. Very informative. I enjoyed every page.

★★★★☆ Great Book for Haiku Enthusiasts. Excellent book on haiku poetry. A lot of historical info about the prominent Haiku writers. The book transitions from haiku history to instruction, with a sharp focus on exemplar haiku and the poetic characteristics of a well-written haiku. I wish there was more of a focus on the instructional aspects than the historical and cultural evolution of haiku. Nevertheless, Higginson's book is a great read and I intend on reading it a second time.

★★☆☆☆ I got this book in very good condition. I just don't really like it. I looked at other reviewers who said it was a good book. So I bought it. As soon as I opened it I didnt like the dry style it was written in, as though it were a high school text book.Haiku, and poetry books, should be written in a style that is expressive and celebrates it with joy. This book was so bland, it left a lot to be desired.Nice cover though.

★★★★★ Great book

★★★★☆ Good read.

★★★★★ Perfect, thanks

★★★★★ Great Book, Especially for Those Who "Fall In" to Elearning Design. This is a great book. I first saw Tim present (virtually) at ATD 2021 and then again at ATD 2022 (again, virtually). I finally purchased the book after the second time. Like Tim, I didn't start my career with the goal of being an eLearning designer. My background is with a degree in secondary English Education, and I was a high school English teacher for 10 years before looking for a change. I fell into eLearning design whilst I was a travel trainer for two years, with PowerPoint as the only tool I could work with to create learning content. I was then hired as an instructional designer and found myself learning and creating web-/computer-based training using a proper authoring tool—Captivate.Through the years, I've done, experienced, or observed a lot of what Tim covers in the book. I'm lucky to work for an organization now—the Florida Center for Interactive Media at the Florida State University—that not only produces some of the best quality learning assets I've been involved with but also promotes constant learning and professional development, as one would hope working for a university. Hence, why I've been lucky enough to attend virtual conferences such as ATD and Adobe MAX.While I learned a lot of eLearning design on the job (remember, I "fell in" to eLearning), what this book does is not only confirm a lot of the processes in eLearning design I've done, it also affirms my own experiences, both good and bad. I think as an instructional designer, that's important to know there are others out there who have experienced the same.What I like about the book is that there are opportunities to reflect on what you've read, the experiences you've had as an eLearning designer, or things you have observed. There is literally space for you to answer "What do you think?" prompts. And there are a lot of them—and not in a bad way. There is also a lot of white space on each page where you can write notes, make connections, even doodle if you need to help make sense of things. Like eLearning, this book is engaging—it encourages you to think, reflect, and respond. It's also written honestly. Tim is not afraid to share his own mistakes, which makes the book that much more relatable.Some of the content doesn't currently apply to me specifically, in part because our PM works with our partners (i.e., clients) to identify learning/performance gaps, recommend a learning solution (our PM does often get input from course ISDs for this), create a project plan/timeline, and evaluate the effectiveness of a course. Even though I may not be involved in those and other tasks, reading about them has helped me understand their importance and why someone on the course/project team should be doing them.If you are an eLearning designer, this book is a must if for no other reason but to get down on paper your own thoughts and reflections of your experiences.

★★★★★ Wonderful overview and primer on eLearning and Instructional Design holistically. I just read the 2nd edition of “The eLearning Designer's Handbook” by Tim Slade. I found it extremely helpful, clarifying, and insightful.As you might expect, as a master instructional designer who trains other IDs, Tim covers a ton of ground without being overwhelming, the content is paced well, and for a primer, the reader gets a lot of detail. I learned enough to be dangerous in record time. The book has concentrated wisdom and experience on every page, so the return on investment on this book is high, so don’t let its length fool you. I especially appreciate how the book balances theory and practice and concentrates on the core ID skillset while highlighting other secondary domains too. Comprehensive and a joy to tear through. Great for people new to ID and those transitioning from other careers. I'm sure others will find gems there as well. Would love to chat with anyone who also enjoyed the read.

★★★★☆ Great info for IDs transitioning into corporate learning spaces. I work in corporate L&D and have begun collecting a library of noteworthy books to reference. I purchased a paperback copy of this book to add to my library. Tim Slade does an amazing job of breaking down the ID process and really emphasizes real-world, practical application. The little asides were definitely my favorite part of the book as they helped affirm my experiences working with difficult SMEs and stakeholders.I would love to give this book 5 stars, but I have to dock a star for the shape of the physical copy. This sounds incredibly petty, but the physical copy is terribly designed; specifically, the dimensions. It's essentially a square, which jettisons out from a bookshelf when placed next to any other books. Whoever printed this for Tim Slade didn't consider the life of a book after a reader has completed it. Though it's a great read, it's a hideous addition to my collection, sadly.

★★★★★ The best of the best. I saw Tim on a TechSmith Youtube broadcast and this book was mentioned. I usually don't do this, but I immediately bought the paperback and I'm buying the Kindle version, too. To say the least, of all the eLearning books and videos I've watched, The eLearning Designer's Handbook is one I wished I had years ago. Highly recommended. Seriously, run--don't walk--and get this! You'll be glad you did. I'm certainly spreading the word to my customers.

★★★★★ Amazing guide with practical experience to back it up. I love this book. Tim is a wealth of information and I am inspired by how he shares his knowledge with the community of eLearning designers. His writing is easy to understand, practical and lightened with a spark of personality. I truly enjoy learning from Tim and the community of designers his work supports. Thank you for all that you do supporting others in the industry through your efforts!

★★★★★ Great for train the trainer. I’m using this book to train my new L&D Specialists on e-learning. It breaks down the concepts in easy to use nuggets. I cover a chapter a week with my team and it’s helping us to align with a strong foundation.

★★★★★ Outstanding Beginner's Guide. Tim's book is an outstanding resource for those new to eLearning and instructional design. His books gives an overview of the entire process and provides helpful suggestions and frameworks along the way to help you apply it on your own.The book is beautifully designed and does not overwhelm you with information. Reading it felt like having a conversation with the author, and the layout provides ease when referencing sections after-the-fact.I highly recommend this book to anyone looking to learn more about eLearning and instructional design!

★★★★★ Amazing resource for anyone interested in ID. Looking for ID books to learn but not sure where to start? Purchase this one first. Tim has such relatable stories and examples in the book. He walks you through each step of the instructional design process in a simple and clear way. He even builds in space for you to take notes of your own as you go. This book is affordable and relatable so make sure you grab a copy.

★★★★★ Am starting my e-learning journey and this book has been a god-send! The information is so well laid out and makes total sense. It's giving me more confidence as I create a YouTube course for a friend of mine who is tech adverse!

★★★★★ It's a must read for new IDs

★★★★★ Nicely made, straight to the point, easy to read.As a beginner in it, I really appreciated the Pro Tip information!

★★★★★ volevo approfondire e soprattutto sistematizzare le conoscenze riguardo l'instructional design e ho trovato in questo libro ottimi spunti e chiarezza espositiva, consilgiatissimo

★★★★★ Having read many books in this space, all of which are great, this is easily my favourite. After joining a new company, I wanted to implement a robust eLearning system that we could replicate going forward. This book offers precisely that. Tim Slade presents a fantastic step by step approach to structuring your eLearning project, which for me is a weaker side to my elearning, the project management side. I love the simplicity and the to the point approach. I managed to read it in 3-4 hours, but that in no way detracts from the book, and to me, adds even more; like elearning, it's best to keep things to the point.An outstanding book if you want nuts and bolts of eLearning project management and how to structure the entire eLearning process. Design-wise it's beautifully put together and aesthetically pleasing to read.Easily 5 out of 5.

★★★★★ Interesting and great to read. The one thing I wish was a bit more covered was single origin roasts mixed. I love Columbian and blend one origin with 90:10 dark / light roasts and family loves it.However, I never tried cupping and mixing multiple different origins… the book convinced me to do that next.If you like to roast coffee, you’ll enjoy the book!

★★★★★ Method and Madness. I have been buying coffee from Len Brault since 2006. My UPS driver saw that I had just purchased an espresso machine and suggested that I go down the street and visit Len. At the time, he was working out of a basement office space in a medical and lab building. No windows, a little creepy and weird. I think there was a sign on the door that said Clockwork Commerce. What does that have to do with coffee? I knocked, Len opened the door and we started talking about coffee. The room was filled with coffee that he was importing from Vietnam and the Philippines. He asked me what kind of coffee I liked. I knew that I liked espresso, but I completely lacked the vocabulary to even try to communicate what I wanted. He translated my gibberish into a taste profile and gave me a bag of a Vietnamese espresso blend. He talked about front palate and back palates. I started to call Len "Coffee Yoda" in my head. I smelled the coffee he told me to buy and it smelled like chocolate mocha sauteed in butter. WTF? I thought it was flavored coffee initially. Len gave instructions about how to figure out how to make the coffee with my equipment. And he explained that I needed to experiment and take notes. The message was: "Make better coffee with science." It was the best espresso I had ever had even with my consumer machine.The Coffee Roaster's Handbook is like talking to Len. I am not sure when Len started roasting and blending exactly, but I realized that he was really good at it when he recreated that Vietnamese espresso I mentioned earlier himself, after a family feud ended the production of the blend in 2009. His version has the same body and taste profile, but turned up to 11.I feel like I now have the vocabulary to really talk about coffee after reading the book. There is a very good explanation of the whole process from choosing beans to cupping and recording the results. He provides a method for exploring roasting and quantifying and recording the results.I am not going to pursue roasting myself because I want to continue to be married. Fortunately for me, Lens Coffee is only 10 minutes away.

★★★★☆ As advertised. Easy to read with plenty of

★★★★★ My husband thinks he is a professional cofee maker now. This book has some great tips and walks you through the process from bean selection to brewing your coffee.

★★★★★ Great for Introduction to Coffee Roasting. I really enjoyed Len's approach to giving a high-level explanation of most things coffee. His passion for the craft is evident throughout the pages, as he provides a tour of the beginnings of coffee, to selecting an appropriate roaster, to how to profile your roasts, and much more. I really appreciated that the book didn't come across as a long-winded advertisement for Len's other coffee endeavors, more as if he intentionally avoided writing of them in order to provide a launching point of instruction for an eager coffee hobbyist or potential entrepreneur.I would highly suggested picking up this book if you're interested in roasting or learning more about coffee in general.

★★★☆☆ Simple read but not much details. I find the wool useful and simple to read. It would help if the book give more details on brewing and roasting

★★★★★ Great book for anyone interested in coffee. The Coffee Roaster’s Handbook by Len Brault was a pleasure to read. This book provides all the necessary information for anyone interested in beginning their journey into green bean roasting, but is also very useful for someone who has been roasting for a while but would like to enhance their knowledge and skills. In addition to the wealth of practical information, it will be appreciated by coffee lovers (or even coffee dabblers) who are interested in issues that affect sustainability of the industry. The information regarding fair trade, organic labels and the social and economic challenges faced by small coffee growers throughout the world was eye-opening. This alone will change how I select and purchase my stock. The detailed background on coffee history, cultivation, and global impact was a pleasure to read. The visuals and photographs are beautiful and informative. I highly recommend this book.

★★★★★ Exactly what I needed. Thank you Len for such a well conceived and executed instruction manual. I roast at home for personal use and just wanted to up my game. Your book filled in the blanks for me and oriented me to have even more fun with coffee. Thank you!

★★★★★ Fundamentals are well explained.

★★★☆☆ Does not explain in great detail how to roast coffee, very generic

★★☆☆☆ This book is good for a broad overview of coffee but not as much for actual roasting. It misses out completely on explaining important concepts like rate of rise, turn around points, etc. even worse it shows you a graph with some of these terms being used, but then completely fails to explain what they mean.I bought the book to learn about those concepts, but instead it focuses more on coffee as an industry and less on actual roasting.

★★★★★ Great product easy to buy.

★★★★★ Excellent reading, great information book 👌
