Deutsch: Na klar! An Introductory German Course (Student Edition)
Robert Di Donato, Monica D. Clyde, ...

McGraw-Hill Humanities/Social Sciences/Languages, 2007

Wonderful College Text
This is a textbook for classroom use as opposed to self study. My two semesters of german at Penn was quite enjoyable; the textbook introduced a lot of grammar points clearly and you build vocabulary through studying themes for each chapter. I can't wait to go to ...
  
  











  



  
English Grammar for Students of German
Cecile Zorach, Charlotte Melin

Olivia & Hill Pr, 2001

A perfect slim primer, espcially if you've been out of school for awhile
I took German in college in 1979, so when I started a refresher German course earlier this year, I picked this up in a college bookstore. Wow, what a life saver! Since I did not have sentence diagramming in grade school, my language skills have always been intuitive, ...

All Quiet on the Western Front
Erich Maria Remarque

Ballantine Books, 1987

Should be required reading for our political representatives
I grew up playing war like every other kid and had a somewhat glamorized view of war. When we went to war in Iraq for the first time I thought it was kind of cool. Being a Jewish person who lost a great deal of their family in the Holocaust having any sympathy for any ...

Tracy D Terrell, Erwin Tschirner, ...

McGraw-Hill Humanities/Social Sciences/Languages, 2004

It isn't so bad afterall
After using this as part of my learning comprehension in the class, my professor says she can see a difference in my knowledge of speaking German. I would refer this book to a friend. It took a while to get to me because it was from overseas so you may want to order ...
  
  











  



  
Letters to a Young Poet
Rainer Maria Rilke

Dover Publications, 2002

This book is fantastic!
This little book though short in lenght packs a condensed form of life wisdom. Some of the insight Rilke writes to his friend are priceless. Rilke penetrates to the essence of a wide range issues from religious to material never preaching but more like asking his ...

Brown-Driver-Briggs Hebrew and English Lexicon
Francis Brown, S. Driver, ...

Hendrickson Publishers, 1996

A Welcome Addition to My Library
BDB is recommended at the end of a Hebrew primer for adults that I often consult. I agree with other reviewers that BDB requires a fundamental knowledge of Hebrew. If you already have a familiarity with Hebrew, and if you enjoy deep reading of the Tanakh, BDB is an ...
  
  











  



  
Suite Francaise
Irene Nemirovsky

Vintage, 2007

Suite Francaise
It is a shame we will never be able to read the entire body of work Irene Namirovske had planned. I enjoyed reading the first two parts and also felt the two appendices were valuable. The first indicated Namirovsky's plan for her 5 part Suite. The second were the ...

This book (as described by previous reviewers and the product description) details what the men in the Nazi Reserve Police Battalion 101 went through, specifically during the SS Invasion of Poland. Browning describes in detail the process of dehumanizing the Jews, ...
  
  











  



  
Oxford-Duden German Dictionary: German-English / English-German

Oxford University Press, USA, 2005

Oxford Duden excellence
I am fluent in English (native language) and German and decided I needed a good dictionary. I am a translator and English teacher, and I find this dictionary is the best one I've seen so far for general English. Not as complete as the Oxford dictionary by itself, but ...
  
  











  



  
Deutsch Heute: Introductory German, Eighth Edition
Jack Moeller, Winnifred R. Adolph, ...

Houghton Mifflin, 2006

Detailed and informative for beginners
When I began using this textbook as part of an elementary German college course, I had absoluely no prior experience in German grammar or communication (I couldn't even say eins, zwei, drei :) ). I find that the book is, for the most part, very straightfoward in ...
  
  











  



  
Mein Kampf
Adolf Hitler

Educa Books, 2006

Very good ideas for his and maybe our time!
Well in the first part of Mein Kampf Hitler wrote mostly in prison so some things may be hard to put in perspective. His ideas were of very high standards for the white man and preserving heritage. This is not a book that some might have you think will lead to coercive ...

Wie geht's?: An Introductory German Course (with Student Text Audio CD)
Dieter Sevin, Ingrid Sevin

Heinle, 2006

Pretty Good, but a few shortcomings.
I used this book for two semesters of German language courses in college. While its not a bad book, the memorization of tables and stuff can be daunting. I thought the descriptions were precise and clear, and the grammar exercises were okay. The problem was the ...
