The Theory of Money and Credit (The Bedford series of economic handbooks)
8 reviews
Ludwig Von Mises
Jonathan Cape (London)
, 1934
The Genesis of Modern Austrian Economics
The Theory of Money and Credit is the foundation of modern Austrian Economics. The central contribution of this book is its application of marginal utility theory to money. Mises takes a micro-analytic approach to money that differs from the Hume-Fischer-Friedman Quantity Theory significantly. Of course there is some truth in the Quantity Theory. The Quantity Theory also teaches some lessons ...

Not your average scrapbooking book!
I loved this book because it provided a glance into lives of scrapbookers who are not the stereotypical "soccer mom" type of scrapbookers. It was truly a breath of fresh air to see scrapbooking pages from strippers, a woman in a rock band, tattoos, and a woman in a burlesque show. Another great thing about this book is that not only does it have a wide variety of scrappers showcased, but it ...

Wonderful, Charming Book!
This was one of my favorite books when I was a child. As I got older, it was passed on to my sibilings, and when I worked with children, they all loved it. This book has it all: humor, adventure, great storytelling, and memorable characters. If you are looking for a whimsical, fun book that's good for the whole family, this is it. (If you're one of us, too, that's in your twenties and ...

Wonderful Hope For Our kids' Futures
Professor Angelicus brought my kids (and me) a surprisingly thorough environmental education and actual HOPE for the future - all within a fantastic adventure. I can't wait to read it to my littlest one in three years. Completely recommended!

Professor Jerry Mander

, 1999
Tounge-in-cheek
Professor Jerry Mander's tounge-in-cheek 'review' of President Clinton's approach to President of The United States is an entertaining and enlightening view of today's politics. Very right-winged, the book is chock full of tidbits from the controversial Starr Report as well as pertinent stories, facts, and related conjecture. Not for the faint-of-heart or liberal minded or those others in ...
The Professors' Wives' Club
13 reviews
NAL, 2008
A great read
I loved the women in this book. They're the kind of girls you want to spend a few hours and a few bottles of chianti with. It's a fun, entertaining read with some real literary chops to boot. I loved the Poe mystery and how the author wove it so seamlessly into the plot. The setting was magical, it made me long for my NYU days!

"A cat can gaze upon a king..."
"...and after a Dry Martini or a Sazerac Cocktail or two, we're all cats." This beautiful, marvelous book is the best book I've read this year. It is part biography, part history and part mixology. If you enjoy the odd cocktail or two, you owe a measure of thanks to Jerry Thomas, the "professor". In the latter half of the 19th century, Jerry (now that I feel like I know the man) perfected ...

Great Entertainment!
This book is as much fun for the adult reading to the child as it is for the child. The artwork is incredible. The story line reminds us that the grass is NOT always greener on the otherside, that sometimes what you are seeking in life is right in your own back yard. I read this to my children 20 years ago, to friends children 10 years ago. Now I would love to read it to my grandaughter, ...
Professor Parrot Speaks Spanish: Learn Spanish With Songs, Dances, Games And Puppets (Sound Beginnings)

Sound Beginnings
Sound Beginnings

Surprisingly Effective!
Bought this for a 5 year old who has surprised us all with her yen to learn to languages. Spanish seems to be the one that intrigues her the most, so I thought we would work on it. After the first viewing of the film, she picked up on how to greet someone and her numbers. She would rather watch this DVD than Nemo, any of the Princesses or Curious George. Well worth the money!

A rare masterpiece connecting the dots of insightful thought
A fascinating read for the person who steps back and wonders - it gives glimpses and answers through an integrated body of research and a graceful and insightful fireside chat about it all. One of my all time favourite books. I can hardly wait to read it again!

As a parent Dr. Gilbert's book did 2 things for me. I received a great education on how to wisely guide my children. AND I can use the book as an 'authority' when giving my college bound kids some key insights on how to succeed to the highest degree. This compilation of gems is truly an 'instant' classic.

The purpose of DHL is to introduce and enlighten the reader as to the many layers of symbolism in Harry Potter's journey/defeat over Lord Voldemort. The HogWarts Professor writes in an easy-to-read style that combines his quirky ...

Helpful - Hopeful - Humorous
I enjoyed reading this book as well as learning what it had to say. The insights from the writers are helpful as a parent. My son is reading it now and I have given it to two new grad's. Simple, focused, funny and insightful. The obvious insights in the book are great for a parent who wants to share their college wisdom but time or communicatin may be an issue. It is modern with current ...

A school librarian whose students LOVE Jake
I am a librarian in the Chicago public school system. My students absolutley LOVE Jake! They have gone through two copies in one year. I have ordered a large number of Jake books for the library system. The writing is clever, the pictures are cute, and the moral is welcome. I hope Prof. Hooper writes some more books, because he has a fan club in Chicago.

Ibn Rushd

Garnet Publishing, Ltd.
, 2000
Most valuable resource
Even if you have several books of Islamic law, this book is extremely valuable for two main reasons. First, it outlines the positions of the major schools and the sources and reasoning they use to arrive at those positions. Second, and more importantly, Ibn Rushd (Averroes to most of his European admirers) explains the divergence of views among the schools on the basis of the different ...

Advice that really works
Face it, all of us academics would like to think that someday a muse will descend upon us and infuse us with the capability to write the great work in our field without self-doubt, procrastination, etc. Boice shows empirical evidence that demonstrates these hopes are in vain (which is no big surprise to anyone), but even better, he provides the solution: writing is like physical exercise--the ...
