Five Book Friday: In Memoriam
(0 comment)
Every year, the booksellers at Powell’s submit their Top Fives: their five favorite books that were released in 2023. It’s a list that, when put together, shows just how varied and interesting the book tastes of Powell’s booksellers are. I highly recommend digging into the recommendations — we would never lead you astray — but today...

Complete Guide to Wikis How to Set Up Use & Benefit from Wikis for Teachers Business Professionals Families & Friends
by
Chatfield, T. Brian
AMay
, February 25, 2010
Chatfield uses Wikipedia, a Web site most people are familiar with, as a point of reference to expand on what wikis can be used for – from lesson plans for teachers to inter-department memos for executives. This book explains how you can become an administrator of a wiki rather than just a visitor or contributor. Chatfield takes pretty complex information regarding the Internet and explains it in an easy-to-digest way with lots of tables and charts. This is a great book for a beginner; the FAQ section is especially helpful. The book includes a list of basic formatting, and even though I have limited HTML knowledge, I was able to follow it. I can’t wait to create my first wiki for my wedding this fall to keep guests updated on the menu, lodging and directions! I know I will use this book over and over again.

The Six SIGMA Manual for Small and Medium Businesses: What You Need to Know Explained Simply
by
Baird, Craig
AMay
, February 25, 2010
“The Six Sigma Manual” is easy to understand and includes tables that give real world examples that anyone can follow. Baird references a couple of examples throughout the course of the entire book – success stories and failures – that reinforce his points. He does a good job of encouraging owners of businesses – small, medium or large – to get to Six Sigma level and not to settle for anything less. The conclusions at the end of each chapter and section helped me to review what I just learned before I moved on to the next concept. The only negative about this book is that the historic quotes and stock photos didn’t provide any information; they just seemed like fillers that I found myself quickly skipping over. But that’s easy to forgive. There’s a lot of good information in this book, and I know I will find myself referencing it many times throughout my career.
