Also, since introductory biology doesn't change within a couple of years, I'm really glad I saved money and purchased the seventh edition rather than the eighth.             Macroeconomics6 reviews N. Gregory Mankiw Worth Publishers, 2006 can I shed some light? If you're confused about all the different Mankiw Macroeconomics texts floating about out there, lemme set you straight. The one you see on this page: "Macroeconomics" (ISBN 0716762137) is usually used in 2nd or 3rd year macroeconomics courses in college. This is because the exercises at the end of each chapter can be a little equation-intensive, and some of the exercises, such as the proper ...             They Say/I Say: The Moves That Matter in Academic Writing18 reviews Gerald Graff, Cathy Birkenstein W. W. Norton, 2005 The best endorsement is that my students loved it. I used "They Say/I Say" with my composition students in the Spring semester of 2008. Frankly, I had some reservations because the department required a fairly expensive handbook, and this would be an add-on. On the plus side, it was brief enough to go over thoroughly and was not too expensive. I thought it would be useful if students read it. As usual, I made assignments in the book, and we ...             The Official SAT Study Guide109 reviews The College Board College Board, 2007 Excellent Guide! This is an excellent guide for the SAT! The content is thorough and very helpful.             Taber's Cyclopedic Medical Dictionary (Thumb Index)110 reviews Donald Venes F. A. Davis Company, 2005 Great Savings. . . Thanks! From cost, timeliness of delivery and condition, we could not be more pleased. Thank You!             Business Law: Text and Cases (West's Business Law)1 review Kenneth W. Clarkson, Gaylord A. Jentz, ... South-Western College/West, 2008 Business Law textbook I haven't actually used this product in class yet as I'm just getting my books together for the fall semester but I have looked it over and it looks to be very informative of business law with examples and definitions etc. I can't however say it is or will be a pleasure to read I bought it because it's required for my business law class not because I wanted to.             Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders DSM-IV-TR Fourth Edition (Text Revision)107 reviews American Psychiatric Association American Psychiatric Publishing, Inc., 2000 "Must Have" A definite "must have" book for any student in a counseling program. Even if not "required", this book makes writing reports so much easier because then you know EXACTLY what is required for deifferent diagnosis. I suggest all counseling/psychology students buy this book as early on in their studies as possible.             Who Moved My Cheese? An Amazing Way to Deal with Change in Your Work and in Your Life1451 reviews Spencer Johnson G. P. Putnam's Sons, 1998 The parable as a blank canvas Who Moved My Cheese is a classic that uses a story without the burden of extra detail to force you to put your own life into the situation, and learn from it. It's true that this method isn't for everyone, but the book is popular for a reason: it helps people. Who Moved My Cheese has that special something that most fables lack. It makes you think. The only other fable I've seen accomplish ...             To Kill a Mockingbird1754 reviews Harper Lee Grand Central Publishing, 1988 Everyone's Favorite . . . I honestly have no idea how many times I have read this book. I read it first as an assignment in the eighth grade; most recently, at the age of 41, I read it aloud to three of my children. As with the more recent readings that I recall, I choked up a bit at the end as Scout is experiencing the tragedy and love that surrounds her in the form of her conservatively eccentric father, her ...             Rich Dad, Poor Dad: What the Rich Teach Their Kids About Money--That the Poor and Middle Class Do Not!2179 reviews Robert T. Kiyosaki, Sharon L. Lechter Business Plus, 2000 Great Book! Our accountant recommended this book, and I am sure glad he did. I read it in just a few days because it was so interesting. This isn't a typical "get rich" book since I found that the author was definitely trying to teach the reader how to rethink the way he or she views money. Some people might think that he is holding back by not going more into detail about how he made his millions, but ...             Fight Club: A Novel640 reviews Chuck Palahniuk W. W. Norton, 2005 Better then the Movie in both Plot and Humor The Fight Club book version in my Opinion is much better then the Movie. The Characters are both explained more and there actions detailed to a greater degree. The situations that in the film made me laugh in the book because of the better explanations made me laugh harder and longer. If you have never seen the movie definitely read the book first you won't be disappointed.             Of Mice and Men (Steinbeck Centennial Edition)1100 reviews John Steinbeck Penguin, 2002 love this novella and all of its' film adaptations there's really not much more i wish to add , except i think this should be requied reading in all our schools in the nation . a beautifully heartbreaking story of humanity . timeless and true .             A Raisin in the Sun137 reviews Lorraine Hansberry Vintage, 2004 What Happens To A Dream Deferred? Produced in 1959, A RAISIN IN THE SUN was the first Broadway play written by a black woman: Lorraine Hansberry (1930-1965), a memorable author who based the central story on an incident that occurred in her own family and which eventually evolved into a landmark Supreme Court ruling in 1940 as Hansberry v. Lee. The play presents us with three generations of the Younger family: the widowed ...             The Three Theban Plays (Penguin Classics)14 reviews Sophocles Penguin Classics, 2000 Translations Researching translations is never an easy task, and in this case, where you'll have to search on Amazon for the title and the translator to find what you want, it's particularly difficult. Here's what I've found by comparing several editions: 1. David Grene translation: Seems to be accurate, yet not unwieldy as such. My pick. Language is used precisely, but not to the point where it's ...             Marketing, 2008 Edition William M. Pride, O. C. Ferrell South-Western College Pub, 2007 Engaging and motivating students with diverse backgrounds and varied interests in marketing requires stimulating and effective teaching materials--and Pride/Ferrell continues to be the resource of choice for instructors. Combining contemporary coverage of marketing strategies and concepts with real-world examples, Marketing's text and its outstanding suite of supplements supplies students with the knowledge and decision-making skills needed to ...             The Invention of Hugo Cabret183 reviews Brian Selznick Scholastic Press, 2007 Very original! This was a very unique book and I really enjoyed it! It did take me a few chapters to get completely absorbed, but after that I was thoroughly interested in the plot and how everything would be resolved. The book is unique in multiple ways, but two stand out for me. The first of which, is that it's probably one of the least predictable books I've read lately. You can guess how the overall ...             90 Minutes in Heaven: A True Story of Death & Life497 reviews Don Piper, Cecil Murphey Revell, 2004 90 Minutes In Heaven The book was received quickly and was in great condition. We were very satisfied with the entire transaction.             The Odyssey137 reviews Homer Penguin Classics, 1999 Fagles finds the translator's "middle ground" amidst controversy About the Odyssey itself, I can add no greater praise than that which has already been deservedly heaped onto one of humankind's greatest literary creations. This particular version is graced with an excellent introduction and notes by Bernard Knox, and what I consider to be a very good translation by Robert Fagles. The translation style stirs up controversy, with one highly rated review here ...             Geometry31 reviews Ray C. Jurgensen, Richard G. Brown, ... Houghton Mifflin McDougall Littell, 2000 I love this book I have taught Honors and College Prep Geometry with this book (and its previous edition) for sixteen years. This year I tried a different book with one of my classes. I am begging to go back to this book. This book does not have all the 'bells and whistles' of new Geometry textbooks. It doesn't need them. My new textbook has powerpoint presentations, lesson planners, CD ROM testbanks, etc. ...             Black's Law Dictionary, Eighth Edition (Black's Law Dictionary (Standard Edition))108 reviews Thomson West, 2004 a home library must If you do legal work at home, this dictionary is essential to have there. As a law student, I have unlimited access to the Westlaw version of Black's, but there are a great deal of missing entries in that format. I have literally never tried to look up a word in the hardbound version without finding it--not so with the online or pocket versions. It is also an excellent citation source for basic ...              search for books academic, amazing, biology, business, centennial, change, classics, cyclopedic, diagnostic, dictionary, disorders, dsm-iv-tr, edition, geometry, heaven, invention, macroeconomics, marketing, medical, minutes, mockingbird, odyssey, official, penguin, raisin, revision, standard, statistical, steinbeck, writing books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
