Pocket Oxford Classical Greek Dictionary9 reviews

Oxford University Press, USA, 2002

Great for the intended purpose
My wife's minivan fails miserably at hauling heavy loads or towing other vehicles. However, it does quite well at the specific task it was designed for. Just as there is no single all-purpose vehicle that is best for every mission, we need to be realistic and realize no single lexicon will meet every need. This compact, lightweight dictionary will not replace Liddell-Scott's Lexicon for me ...

Teaching Physics with Toys: Activities for Grades K-93 reviews
Beverley A. P. Taylor, James Poth, ...

McGraw-Hill/Contemporary, 1995

Good Resource for the Science Teacher's Library
This book offers 42 activities, evenly distributed among K-3, 4-6, and 7-9. As is often the case with such resources, those categories meant little to my eighth grade students or me. If you are a teacher, you know that you can adapt almost any activity to make it fit your needs. The activities all include the following well developed sections: key science topics, key process skills, time ...
  
  











  



  
Memmler's The Structure and Function of the Human Body.2 reviews
Barbara Janson and Jason James Taylor (eds). Cohen

Publisher Unknown, 2005

Horrible book
This book is rife with typos and factual errors that make it frustrating to read. I like the concept of making an easy-to-read, basic introduction to human anatomy and physiology for professionals that need to know the basics but don't have the science background to go very in-depth. I believe that was the authors' intention, but they failed miserably. I like the images; they are ...
  
  











  



  
Harnessing Microstation V8 XM Edition3 reviews
G.V. Krishnan, James E. Taylor

OnWord Press, 2006

Harnessing Microstation V8 XM Edition
I have had two versions of this book before, so I knew what I was buying. The last version SE seemed more comprehensive. The book cover was damaged when I received it, however.
  
  











  



  
The Architecture of Fumihiko Maki1 review
Jennifer Taylor

Birkhäuser Basel, 2003

Informative, but....
Very detailed, explores the concepts and reasoning behind Fumihiko's works. Covers as much of his career as anybody needs to know. In comparison with other books by/about Fumihiko, this one takes less of a look at the details within a building, and more at the themes common across his works (as a whole, and within segments of his career). Makes clear how he has evolved since the beginning of his ...
  
  











  



  
American-Made: The Enduring Legacy of the WPA: When FDR Put the Nation to Work8 reviews
Nick Taylor

Tantor Media, 2008

American Made
This is an excellent book and a great addition to history. I knew very little about the Worker's Progress Association until I saw the author speak about his book on Book TV. I was ignorant of the great works that the WPA did and had always had a negative view of the WPA. Since I have read the book I have talked with several people whose parents actually worked for the WPA and heard wonderful ...
  
  











  



  
Searching for the Bright Path: The Mississippi Choctaws from Prehistory to Removal (Indians of the Southeast)
James Taylor Carson

University of Nebraska Press, 2003

Blending an engaging narrative style with broader theoretical considerations, James Taylor Carson offers the most complete history to date of the Mississippi Choctaws. Tracing the Choctaws from their origins in the Mississippian cultures of late prehistory to the early nineteenth century, Carson shows how the Choctaws struggled to adapt to life in a New World altered radically by contact while retaining their sense of identity and place. Despite ...
  
  











  



  
Smart Enough Systems: How to Deliver Competitive Advantage by Automating Hidden Decisions11 reviews
James Taylor, Neil Raden

Prentice Hall PTR, 2007

For me this book defines agility and explains how to approach it
It seemed to me that the systems that run our business process are really controlled by a few elite IT professionals and programers. Unfortunately, they can't really be as responsive as they like our we need. This book helps me to understand how my policies, rules and decisions can be lifted up a level where we can more directly influence. Great read.
  
  











  



  
Gramatica De La Lengua Inglesa : A Complete English Grammar Workbook for Spanish Speakers6 reviews
James Taylor, Nancy Stanley

McGraw-Hill, 1995

Excellent and thorough, very good tool for ESL classes.
I bought this book for my class of Latin American students who were learning English as a second language. The grammar exercises in this book were well-written and accurate, and the organization of the material into short chapters makes it easy to teach this material in a classroom. This book was an excellent resource because it explains the concepts in Spanish, which makes the experience more ...
  
  











  



  
Storm and Conquest: The Clash of Empires in the Eastern Seas, 18093 reviews
Stephen Taylor

Blackstone Audiobooks, Inc., 2008

A Little-known Napoleonic Naval Campaign
A natural audience for Stephen Taylor's "Storm and Conquest: The Clash of Empires in the Eastern Seas, 1809" would be fans of Patrick O'Brian's fine naval historical novel, "The Mauritius Campaign." Taylor history relates the story (and provides extensive background) for the actual historical events described fictionally in O'Brian's novel, leading up to the Royal Navy's conquest of French-held ...

This volume continues the incredible family saga of the Adamses of Massachusetts as told through their myriad letters to one another, to their extended family, and to such other notable correspondents as Thomas Jefferson and Mercy Otis Warren. The book opens in January 1786, when John and Abigail resided at Grosvenor Square in London, partaking of the English social scene, while John made slow progress on negotiations for an Anglo-American ...
  
  











  



  
Hourglass66 reviews
James Taylor

Alfred Publishing Company, 1998

Sweet Baby James does it Again. . .
Hard to believe that more than 35 years have passed since JT's debut. As one of the most talented of 70's performers, Taylor has consistently turned out material that superbly showcases his enormous gifts as a singer-songwriter. While some have knocked him for being too mellow, anyone who doubts that Taylor can rock should take a listen to his live rendition of "Steamroller Blues" (from his ...
  
  











  



  
My Dearest Friend: Letters of Abigail and John Adams12 reviews
Abigail Adams, John Adams

Belknap Press, 2007

My Dearest Friend~Letters from John Adams to his wife Abbigail
If you are a history buff or just a little interested in the history of our nation you will love this book. The letters exchanged between John and Abigail Adams are wonderful. Abigail was definitely John's rock. She kept him focused and steady. John was a very passionate man in his beliefs and at times would become a tyrant trying to convince people that his way of thnking was the only way to ...
