Geometry
Ray Jurgensen, Richard G. Brown

Houghton Mifflin Company, 2000

I love this book
I have taught Honors and College Prep Geometry with this book (and its previous edition) for sixteen years. This year I tried a different book with one of my classes. I am begging to go back to this book. This book does not have all the 'bells and whistles' of new ...
  
  











  



  
The God Delusion
Richard Dawkins

Mariner Books, 2008

Truly Honest Review ~ Yes I Read The Book
It is my goal to provide an honest review of this book, as seen from my perspective. I appreciate what Dawkins says, from the viewpoint of his arguement. Dawkins also, surprisingly, admits that the existance of God is a 50/50 chance. He does, however, provide ...
  
  











  



  
A Child Called "It": One Child's Courage to Survive
Dave Pelzer

HCI, 1995

This is a must read!
This was a very touching book. I could not put it down what so ever! I read it on my way to Wisconsin Dells for a vacation back in May. I cried because it is heartfelt and God forbid a child ever go through that!
  
  











  



  
Boundaries: When to Say Yes, How to Say No to Take Control of Your Life
Henry Cloud, John Townsend

Zondervan, 2002

Good book... life changer
I am so happy I bought this book. It has so much information. It is a book that needs study... not just a read. I grew up with alcoholic parents and very codependent relationships. I am glad there is a Christian and biblical based book that speaks to the fact that ...
  
  











  



  
Pharmacology for Nursing Care
Richard A. Lehne

Saunders, 2006

This book got me through pharmacology
Pharm was definitely my hardest subject during nursing school. I had a hard time keeping all the drug classes straight, but this incredible textbook gave me the exact tools I needed to understand the drugs. With Lehne's sense of humor (in chapter 1 she writes a note to ...
  
  











  



  
What It Takes: The Way to the White House
Richard Ben Cramer

Vintage, 1993

"What it Takes" to write the perfect political book
No study of modern American politics is complete without reading this book. At the center of the political universe is the presidency. What kind of people seek this office, and all of the attendant scrutiny and hardship that even the most fortunate candidates endure? ...
  
  











  



  
Robbins Basic Pathology: With STUDENT CONSULT Online Access (Basic Pathology (Kumar))
Vinay Kumar, Abul K. Abbas, ...

Saunders, 2007

A great review for AP boards
This text is very concise compared with Robbins Pathologic Basis of Disease. Both are excellent, but this "smaller" book actually has everything you need for the general pathology part of the written AP boards. I am specifically referring to chapters 1-9 with 10 and ...

Pamela C Champe, Richard A Harvey, ...

Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2007

Illuminating

Very Insightful
Nutshell review - The book covers Libertarian Paternalism, how to help people be free in their choices and, at the same time, help them make better and more informed ones. A very insightful and informative book about human nature, human behaviour and into ways in which ...

Wheelock's Latin (Wheelock's Latin)
Frederic M. Wheelock, Richard A. Lafleur

Collins, 2005

Latin Review Text
This book is a great review of Latin and the pedagogy of Latin but it is not for the first-time student in place of a live teacher. It is complete, a bit different that the text I have used but is worth every cent. It is a great text and a supplement to a course but ...
  
  











  



  
Racial and Ethnic Groups, 11th Edition
Richard T. Schaefer

Prentice Hall, 2007

Updated edition of a classic.
Racial and Ethnic Groups is extremely well researched, informative and entertaining. I read this book from cover to cover for pleasure. Then I read several of the books listed in the bibliography. This is clearly the best book available for anyone taking or teaching a ...
