Outside, snow sticks everywhere,/clogging everything up, hemming//You in. ...             Serbo-Croatian Just for you: A First Year Course (2 Volume Set)3 reviews Biljana Sljivic-Simsic; Biljana Isljivibc-Isimisibc Ohio State Univ Foreign Language, 1985 Great book, very clear and easy to follow. I've tried a few different books for learning Serbo-Croatian-this one is far better than the others-highly recommended             A study of software metrics (OSU-CS-TR)1 review Mansur H Samadzadeh Oklahoma State University, Dept. of Computer Science, 1992 the student has surpassed the teacher What a brilliant way of looking at the world of "reading". Connections with art and religion: she is light years ahead of anyone else in her analysis of black culture!             MECHANICAL CLUSTER (OSU JOURNAL AWARD POETRY)1 review PATTY SEYBURN Ohio State University Press, 2002 Nothing Mechanical About this Dynamic Collection With "Mechanical Cluster," Patty Seyburn has established, without question, that she is one of the most original and exciting poets writing today. Using the Ford Motor Company's term for the automobile's grouping of warning lights and gauges on the instrument panel as her title and metaphor, Seyburn explores a Detroit childhood to a California adulthood. Growing up, confronting the sometimes ...             Edward Sekermestrovich: Life at CCC Camp Arboretum, Benton County, Oregon, 1935-1940 (Soap Creek Valley ...1 review Edward Sekermestrovich OSU Research Forests, Oregon State University, 1991 For The President's Eyes Only One of the best espionage novels I have ever read. I wish this author would write another novel of any kind. I would definately read it.             INNOCENCE (OSU JOURNAL AWARD POETRY)1 review JEAN NORDHAUS Ohio State University Press, 2006 So beautiful, I didn't want it to end. A titillating line exists between innocence and experience, and Jean Nordhaus knows how to hover there--stepping first across the line, and then back--reclaiming what was lost, then venturing out again. INNOCENCE is remarkable for its exquisite and sensual descriptions of everyday occurrences. For instance, even a bruise when it departs is missed for "the riot of color" and tenderness in it. ...             STONE SKY LIFTING (OSU JOURNAL AWARD POETRY)1 review LIA PURPURA Ohio State University Press, 2000 A stellar book! This poetry book rocks! Check out "tree"--the last poem. Full of folly, comedy and deceit, this book is a must for all aspiring poets.             Student-Involved Assessment FOR Learning (4th Edition)9 reviews Rick Stiggins Prentice Hall, 2004 Stiggins I was so pleased with the time of arrival of the book as well as the condition! Thank you!             POPULAR CULTURE (OSU JOURNAL AWARD POETRY)1 review ALBERT GOLDBARTH Ohio State University Press, 1989 Mystical Blur, a popcult experience! Donald Duck is lost, and trying to read the Egyptian hieroglyphs in order to escape back to Duckberg. Orphan Annie and her dog, "in their bubble," happily pass by a line of long faced, skinny Okies in a growing soup kitchen line. One stamp of the Buddha, used one thousand times, never produces an identical image. Everything speaks its own language: "What we always are is a new vocabulary ...             ANATOMY ERRATA (OSU JOURNAL AWARD POETRY)1 review JUDITH HALL Ohio State University Press, 1998 Incredible!! 10 Stars! Judith Hall manages to deal with some unpretty topics (anorexia, cancer) with amazing smoothness and grace. "Monarch's Birthmark" is the most endearing and precious piece that I have come across in a long while; "The Other Girls in Lettuce," a startling and complex one that I have read so many times I might be able to recite it. A must read for anyone who loves poetry or for anyone who is ...             Implementation of classical mutual exclusion algorithms in Ada (OSU-CS-TR)23 reviews Faisel Saeed Oklahoma State University, Dept. of Computer Science, 1992 What a treat Saul Bellow is no longer with us. And as he is a favorite writer of mine I always wish there were more of his work for me to read. I thought I had read all the novels, and so was pleasantly surprised when I came across 'The Actual'. I read it in a single sitting and it brought great pleasure. There are many of the usual Bellow virtues displayed in this book. His descriptive genius, his feeling ...             LANGUAGE FILES 7TH EDITION: MATERIALS FOR AN INTRODUCTION TO LANGUAG3 reviews THE OHIO STATE UNIVE OSU DEPT LINGUISTICS Ohio State University Press, 1998 Excellent text This new edition is a much improved version of an old standard. When I first used Language Files, it consisted primarily of a workbook of exercises accompanied by tersely worded handouts. The exercises are still here, and they've been added to and improved. But the text has been greatly expanded and updated so that the book can now stand on its own as a course textbook rather than as simply a ...             Understanding engineering thermo3 reviews Octave Levenspiel Distributed by OSU Bookstore, 2000 Excellent text book for engineers and students We need an answer book for the questions given at the end of each chapter. Short answers...             When a teraflops is not enough: Designing systems for the "grand challenge" of planetary atmospheric ...2 reviews William David Miller Oklahoma State University, Dept. of Computer Science, 1991 An amazing mythology collection I suppose that some of the work in this book, one of a 13 volume set written between 1916 and 1932 (reprinted in the 1960s), has been changed by more recent scholarship, but there is still nothing to equal this fantastic achievement. The set includes not only the more familiar myths such as Greek and Roman, but pretty well succeeds in its goal to include all of humanity. The text is extremely ...             LANGUAGE FILES 10TH EDITION: MATERIALS FOR AN INTRODUCTION TO LANGUAG2 reviews OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY OSU DEPT LINGUISTICS Ohio State University Press, 2007 my first linguistic book This is a awesome book to get a grasp of understanding languages and to start you off on a good foot if you are learning, or want to learn to be a linguist or teach english as a second laguage. If you are just wanting to see what languages and linguistics is all about, get this book. It goes over phonetics, morphology, syntax, semantics, and other areas of language.I recommend this book if this ...             Clear and to the Point: 8 Psychological Principles for Compelling PowerPoint Presentations11 reviews Stephen M. Kosslyn Oxford University Press, USA, 2007 Where research and practice meet Finally!, a book that engages visual communication practice with cognitive neuroscience and psychology research. Too often these areas live separately and as a graphic designer professor, I find the Kosslyn's content invaluable. As producers of visual communication, students should know what is going on in the mind of their users. I plan on adding Clear and to the Point to my course ...             The Logic Of American Politics3 reviews Samuel Kernell, Gary C. Jacobson CQ Press, 2005 Worth reading outside of class As an undergraduate, I find newsman's assertion that I can't grasp free rider problems insulting. It's not rocket science. Anyway, the prose is amazing, the book is chock full of fascinating historical examples, and the exposition of ideas is logical and tidy. It doesn't even strike one as a textbook upon reading. The typical dry, textbook blandness can be found nowhere. After my class was ...             BLESSINGS BODY GAVE (OSU JOURNAL AWARD POETRY)1 review WALT MCDONALD Ohio State University Press, 1998 Intense Consideration Walt McDonald uses vowels as well as almost any contemporary poet I've read. His work offers insight on his own life, often concentrating on the major wars of our time: his childhood during WWII, his service in Vietnam, his reactions to the Persian Gulf as both a concerned parent and distant observer. His writing opens up his own spirit to the reader in a way I admire, and he "keeps his head ...             LANGUAGE FILES 9TH EDITION: MATERIALS FOR AN INTRODUCTION TO LANGUAG AND LINGUISTICS3 reviews OHIO STATE UNIV OSU DEPT LINGUISTICS Ohio State University Press, 2004 A Good Reference! This book gave excellent explanations for learning linguistics. I enjoyed reading this book and working on the helpful exercises at the end of each section. I ended up learning about linguistics without an instructor as a result of this smartly designed textbook.             CAPTIVITY NARRATIVE (OSU JOURNAL AWARD POETRY)3 reviews MARY ANN SAMYN Ohio State University Press, 1999 This is a wonderful and inspiring book, from Mary Ann Samyn! Wow! What a great book. I have also read "Rooms By the Sea" (you should read it!) by Mary Ann Samyn. I hope that everyone will love it as much as I did!!!
