Reading List: Redeployment

Books I'm reading (and/or have stacked next to my bed because, despite how hard I wish for 30 hour days, I don't have as much time as I'd like to dedicate to reading things other than text books on Human Factors Engineering and Interface Design).

Reading List: Dealing with Deployment

A few books to help you realize all of the feelings you have... the fears, the strength you somehow find on the lonely rainy days, the sleepless nights, the heart-pounding butterflies you get when the phone rings and its him (or her) on the other end... well, you're not alone. Not even close.
