I was so impressed with the carefully chosen picture books they compiled. There were so many children's books and I wanted to find the best ones for my child and I did with this book! There are 12 unabridged books in this book and the picture quality is EXCELLENT. The paper is glossy stock grade and the pictures are just beautiful. Good ...             HarperCollins College Outline World History From 1500 (Harpercollins College Outline Series)2 reviews J. Michael Allen Collins, 1993 Excellent Review Comprehensive, excellent review if you wish to take the SAT II world history exam or the AP.             The HarperCollins Study Bible: Fully Revised & Updated21 reviews Harold W. Attridge, Society Of Biblical Literature HarperOne, 2006 Outstanding resource! Many people, myself included, find the NRSV to be the most reliable translation of these books extant. The NRSV Bible is produced by the 5500-member Society of Biblical Literature. While that group includes representatives of practically every conceivable religious and scholarly perspective, this translation is definitely not typical of committee products nor does it compromise. You will find ...             HarperCollins Bible Dictionary12 reviews Paul J. Achtemeier HarperOne, 1996 Invaluble Research Tool I actually purchased this from a bookstore back in 1988-89, then it was priced at over $100! I got it at a discount because there was a flaw in the binding. I wanted a Bible study resource that went beyond the concordances that were available at the time. Compared to some of the other Bible dictionaries that I've used this one reads more like an encyclopedia. It combines archaeological, ...             Ethics (Harpercollins College Outline Series)2 reviews Peter K. McInerney, George W. Rainbolt Harpercollins, 1994 Good overview of ethics for DSST / Dantes This is a good book to read to prepare for the DSST Ethics exam.             The HarperCollins Dictionary of Mathematics14 reviews E. J. Borowski, J. M. Borwein Collins, 1991 Good reference, but an amazing toilet reading material! If you're anything like me, you enjoy reading while in the toilet, doing one of the necessities of human nature, this reference has a great "random open" feature, where you can just slide your thumb at any page and find an interesting term you can think and learn about, I dont know how much the shallow discussion to these complex terms is really useful, but it gives you interesting things to ...             HarperCollins Spanish Unabridged Dictionary, 8th Edition (Harpercollins Unabridged Dictionaries)19 reviews Harpercollins Publishers Collins, 2005 C.Collins Spanish Dictionary This is the single most useful tool that I own when it comes to Spanish composition. Anyone interested in improving their written skills and/or vocabulary in Spanish should have a copy!!             HarperCollins College Outline Music Theory (Harpercollins College Outline Series)9 reviews George T. Jones Collins, 1994 Advanced is Important Most books found on this subject are designed for beginers and are frustrating for those who want to learn more. This book is for those who want more and accomplishes that feat.             HarperCollins College Outline Western Civilization from 1500 (Harpercollins College Outline Series) Walter Kirchner Collins, 1991 Prepared for students by renowned professors and noted experts, here are the most extensive and proven study aids available, covering all the major areas of study in college curriculums. Each guide features: up-to-date scholarship; an easy-to-follow narrative outline form; specially designed and formatted pages; and much more.             HarperCollins Atlas of Bible History1 review James B. Pritchard HarperOne, 2008 nice concept There are several evangelical atlases on the market, including two award winners: Holman Bible Atlas and the much newer IVP Atlas of Bible History. Both books take the Bible seriously as a source of historical data, and both were written by top scholars. The new Oxford Bible Atlas, 4th Edition, is totally different, warning you in the first chapter that they are about to rip the Bible to shreds! ...             HarperCollins College Outline Introduction to Philosophy (Harpercollins College Outline Series)1 review Peter K. Mcinerney Collins, 1992 EXCELLENT OVERVIEW Western philosophy can become a complex subject to the point of confusing lay persons and college undergraduates. HarperCollins College Outline series takes away that confusion by providing us with an in depth text summarizing the basic tenants and issues of philosophy without sacrificing the content. Introduction to Philosophy gives the general reader and college student a basic overview ...             The HarperCollins Dictionary of Religion1 review American Academy Of Religion HarperOne, 1995 Good general reference on non-western religions Overall, the book provides a good general desk reference on religion, and is helpful in my field of religion reporting for newspapers. While it provides extensive coverage of non-Western religious traditions, however, it is somewhat lacking in its entries on American religious movements. There is no entry for the "chavurah" movement in Judaism, for example, scant information about Charismatics ...             HarperCollins Language Survival Guide: Germany: The Visual Phrase Book and Dictionary (HarperCollins Language ...1 review Harpercollins Publishers Collins, 2004 practical guide for Germany Nothing beats the Harper Collins series for PRACTICAL information when traveling in a country where the language is defferent than your own. Very helpful in local customs, especially for restaurants. It covers the little things you need to know to make your trip enjoyable. Very easy to use.             The HarperCollins Study Bible : New Revised Standard Version With the Apocryphal/Deuterocanonical Books55 reviews Wayne A. Meeks HarperSanFrancisco, 1997 Excellent translation- superb annotations- binding problems? The NRSV is a superlative translation of scripture with very few drawbacks. Unlike the writers of the dogmatic, Evangelical-doctrine-riddled NIV, the translators of the NRSV (and earlier RSV) made a real attempt to be literal, yet use modern language. When there is ambiguity or other difficulty in translation, the NRSV includes footnotes that tell the reader other possible readings, rather than ...             The HarperCollins Visual Guide to the New Testament: What Archaeology Reveals about the First Christians2 reviews Jonathan L. Reed HarperOne, 2007 The best available This book has the best collection of photos that is available for the study of the New Testament. The author explains everything from how archaeology works to what the new discoveries mean for Christians and interested readers of the Bible. It is great that every page has illustrations, maps, and photos. You can really see what the authors of the New Testament were talking about. Reed includes ...             The HarperCollins Illustrated Medical Dictionary1 review Ida G. Dox, B John Melloni, ... Collins, 2001 Best reference out there I've worked in health care for over 20 years at several facilities. This book was recommended at a conference over 10 years ago. I still have that copy and use it nearly everyday. It is much better than the online Dorlands and even Taber's. The Merck Manual has more information but this is precise with exceptional pictures.             HarperCollins Spanish College Dictionary 5th Edition (Harpercollins College Dictionaries)14 reviews Harpercollins Publishers Collins, 2004 Necessary for College Spanish Students If you plan on majoring or minoring in Spanish when you go to college, you definitely need this dictionary. Sure, it's large and heavy and impossible to take with you to class, but you can leave it at home. You can use your pocket dictionary when you're in class. But eventually that little pocket dictionary will become obsolete in some cases, especially if you're reading old Spanish literature. ...             HarperCollins College Outline Introduction to Government (Harpercollins College Outline Series)3 reviews Larry Elowitz Collins, 1992 GREAT for a quick cram or an in-depth study I bought this book to pass out of my Participation in Government course. If we get over an 85% on the proficiency exam, we get to pass out of the course. There was every topic imaginable, but in a very organized format, along with nine informative appendixes. I read through the book a few days in advance (with almost no prior knowledge about government) and passed out easily. I highly ...             HarperCollins Bible Commentary - Revised Edition12 reviews James L. Mays HarperOne, 2000 One of the Best Commentaries Available I have a number of reference books that I use rather frequently for scripture study. Without a doubt, the two volumes I refer to most are THE HARPER-COLLINS BIBLE DICTIONARY and HARPER BIBLE COMMENTARY. I find these two volumes to be the most helpful tools for Bible study and homily preparation. The commentary is set up by biblical book and is divided into three sections: The Old Testament or ...             The HarperCollins Bible Pronunciation Guide4 reviews William O. Walker HarperOne, 1994 One of my favorite Bible tools! How would you pronounce the following Bible characters names: Abiathar, Absalom, Adonijah, Ittai, Shimei? Bible Pronunciation Guide is one of my favorite Bible tools. Whether just for personal study or giving a Sunday lesson I owe it to myself & my audience to pronounce the names of the Bible characters correctly. If you want to know more about the biblical characters names you are ...              search for books apocryphal, archaeology, christians, civilization, classics, collection, commentary, deuterocanonical, dictionaries, dictionary, germany, government, harpercollins, illustrated, introduction, language, mathematics, medical, philosophy, pronunciation, religion, reveals, standard, survival, testament, treasury, unabridged, updated, version, western books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
