Matigari (African Writers Library) Review

Real SAT II: Subject Tests Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This book does what it says: it gives you one complete REAL SAT II test on every single subject EXCEPT Biology and Korean. Since many people take the Bio E/M test these days, this book is marred by the fact that it doesn't have a complete Bio E/M test (only half and not "REAL") and they seem to be easier...

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)For the beginner, there's no better book to begin one's excursion into logic, both deductive and inductive, formal and informal, syllogistic and mathematical, propositional as well as predicate calculus.

Literature & Composition: Reading - Writing - Thinking Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)As a general rule, I tend to stay away from textbooks like this when I teach upper-level English.
