Hickey Thomson Brooks/Cole, 1991 Know what you are looking at I am a graduate student of Dr. Hickey's at California State University, Fresno. I came to this institution specifically as a matter of curricula, and I must say that after a review of the literature both broad and exhaustive Dr. Hickey's book is the closest thing we have to the reality of our special killers' doctrine. What is most compelling about this piece of literature is the open mentality ...             Elements of Modern Algebra4 reviews Jimmie Gilbert, Linda Gilbert Thomson Brooks/Cole, 2008 Great Book I found the ideas in this book to be very accesible to the student with little mathematics experience (as I have). It is very straight foward, contains illuminating example problems, and even has an application section at the end of each chapter. Many abstract algebra books assume that you can prove anything. However, Gilbert's book focuses on the techniques of learning how to prove.             Abnormal Psychology: An Integrative Approach (Psychology)11 reviews David H. Barlow, V.

Tobin Thomson Brooks/Cole, 2005 What a Great Textbook I don't usually review (or even read) textbooks. However, in researching a forthcoming book, I've spent a lot of time with Tobin and Dushek's Asking About Life. It's made my life much easier. As those who are familiar with Asking About Life know, this is a textbook with a philosophy. That philosophy is to present biology not as a canonical set of facts about life, but as a dynamic, ongoing ...             Java with Object-Oriented Programming2 reviews Paul S. Wang Thomson Brooks/Cole, 2003 Surprisingly rich and readable for such a thing book Java books nowadays tend to be mammoths. You nearly break your arm lifting them off the shelf. But Paul Wang's rather slender book still packs a wallop and delivers excellent content in tons of very readable examples. You'll learn about neat, arcane topics like using Java to write CGI server programs and all sorts of things about network sockets. There are very few errors and the typefonts ...             Geology and the Environment2 reviews Bernard W. Pipkin Thomson Brooks/Cole, 2005 A good overall source for environmental geology Geology and the Environment is an excellent source for someone who wants to get an overall beginning knowledge of environmental geology.

I sure as heck never had before. I am dyslexic, math phobic, and a graduate student in Psych who must take 1 full year of advanced stat. Terrifed of this prospect, I bought this book.

The last part of the book investigates room acoustics, sound reproduction, and the ...             Abnormal Psychology2 reviews V. Mark Durand Thomson Brooks/Cole, 1996 OUTSTANDING!
