Comprehensive School Health Education Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)There are several lesson plans in the back of the book which will be very helpful to a future teacher. However, I was uncomfortable with some of the verbal content within the main structure of this book. It seems to me that the general atmosphere within the book is rather conservative in nature.1. Some...

Medical Terminology with Human Anatomy, Fifth Edition Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This was the required text for my second subject in Medical Transcription. It was very good and detailed enough for the beginning transcriptionist to understand where everything is, and to familiarize yourself with more medical terminology. This one seems to assume you already have a beginning foundation...

Harry Potter y la piedra filosofal Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This is a great, easy, relaxing way to keep up your already advanced Spanish. It might also be a good way to greatly improve your intermediate Spanish. Keep a dictionary and a notepad handy for those new vocabulary words. Or don't. After a little while of recording new words, I finally quit and just...

The Ramayana: A Shortened Modern Prose Version of the Indian Epic (Classic, 20th-Century, Penguin) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)As a fan of Narayan's work, I was fascinated to see how he would tackle the grand subject of the Ramayana, a work that runs through and certainly influences all of Narayan's stories. The result is one of his most delightful and beautifully written novels. I think it is important to approach this book...

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I ordered this book to use with my AP Literature class.

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)When I bought this book, I was unaware that it was written with the intention of being a class textbook for learning not just Java, but also the basics of computer science.

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Suggested by the Bengali women in my local book club, this was a fascinating (at times frustrating) but mostly educational (for me) novel about the incredibly intense social and familial structures of Northwest India during Partition.

Effective Methods for Software Testing, 2nd Edition Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)We've been developing a testing group and I wanted a practical reference for software testing. This is not it.

I think the book needs more examples, better organization,...

The Tales of Edgar Allan Poe: A Kaplan SAT Score-Raising Classic (Kaplan Score Raising Classics) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Kaplan has created a few books that help with the development of learning SAT vocabulary. This book, which has many of the well-known Edgar Allan Poe stories, does likewise, defining over seven hundred vocabulary words on the opposite page or in the glossary. The neat aspect of this book is that it not...
