A People's History of the United States: 1492 to Present (P.S.)

Howard Zinn

Harper Perennial Modern Classics, 2005

No sugar coated, political correctness here!
Well written, intensely compelling, and mind expanding. This book should be a mandatory read for every high school student in the country. Throw away The American Pageant, and hand out Zinn's book instead.

The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable

Nassim Nicholas Taleb

Random House, 2007

Black Swans In American Industries
A very interesting concept and I believe, a very true phenomena that exists in every walk of life. As a corporate human resources director, black swans can bring disastrous results if proper planning is not in place. While most of my career has been mundane to say ...

Fred S. Kleiner, Christin J. Mamiya

Wadsworth Publishing, 2005

Very interesting pictures
I purchased this book for my Art History class. Very interesting pictures along with non-boring texts. I really like the accompanied CD as it has all pictures from this text as well as other version of Gardner's art history books. Pictures are crystal clear. Although I ...

Beloved

Toni Morrison

Vintage, 2004

Brilliant novel
Beloved is a riveting story, a page-turner. It reminds me of The Turn of the Screw in that you are never certain what was real and what wasn't. Do you believe in the supernatural or is it mental distress? Awesome review of slavery every white American should read. ...

Man's Search for Meaning

Viktor E. Frankl

Beacon Press, 2006

A masterpiece of great dignity
While I have never really warmed up to the second part of Frankl's book, the "Experiences in a Concentration Camp" section has to be one of the finest examinations of meaning under terrible circumstances ever written. Frankl is insightful, unpretentious, incisive, ...

Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies

Jared Diamond

W. W. Norton, 2005

Great for classroom teachers
While this book is difficult for many high school students, its ideas and the methods used to create his thesis are concepts your students can get. This would be a great jumping off point for an interdisciplinary unit and as the years go on, history and social studies ...

Clyde P. Stickney, Paul Brown, ...

South-Western College Pub, 2006

Best book on FSA I have ever read
I like its strategic focus and case-oriented approach. The FSAP is terrific. In this book, financial statements finally found its correct place: describe the strategic decisions made by management. This book is never dry. Instead, it is vivid, fascinating, and a great ...

Orientalism

Edward W. Said

Vintage, 1979

Intelligent and Poignant
This book is a great overview and as noted by many others, a true work of literary genius. Colonial subjects, such as Said himself, have a hard time placing themselves in the mess of Colonialism and the supposed Post-Colonial era we live in and this book aids in that ...

New Perspectives on Microsoft Office Access 2007, Comprehensive (New Perspectives)

Joseph J. Adamski, Kathy T. Finnegan

Course Technology, 2007

Good for a first edition
This is a good book for those new to Access and for experienced Access users who need hands-on work to get to know the ribbon. Granted, it has a handful of technical issues - out of the 7 chapters I've covered so far, I've found 5 relatively small items that didn't ...

The Essential Cosmic Perspective

Jeffrey O. Bennett, Megan Donahue, ...

Benjamin Cummings, 2006

The Most Exceptional Textbook This Side of the Galaxy!
I love this book! I don't even read text books very often, but this one is one of the most fun text books I've ever read--the fourth edition of "The Essential Cosmic Perspective." Perhaps I say this because I like Astronomy. I've never taken the course before, so ...
