Film Art: An Introduction and Film Viewers Guide
David Bordwell, Kristin Thompson
McGraw-Hill Humanities/Social Sciences/Langua, 2003
From a film professor
Since an earlier review was from a film professor who trashed this book, I thought it would be a good idea if another film professor stepped forward to defend it. The complaints from the aforementioned film professor are vague -- Film Art is apparently "pretentious" ...

Technical Writing and Professional Communication for Non-Native Speakers
Thomas N. Huckin, Leslie A. Olsen
McGraw-Hill Humanities/Social Sciences/Langua, 1991
Best technical writing book ever.
I've seen a lot of (technical) writing books and most of them are just crap. You don't need a 50-page chapter to teach you how to put citations in your paper. You don't need double spaced text as if you are an elementary school student.
But this book is different. ...

McGraw-Hill Humanities/Social Sciences/Langua, 1995
Ca marche!
I'm using it right now for French 201. The only drawback is that it has a french/english dictionary in the back and not an english/french like the previous book. I think the authors presume that we shouldn't be using english at all (or minimally). Even so, it would ...
