Precalculus Seventh Edtition
Ron Larson, Robert P. Hostetler
Houghton Mifflin Company, 2006
Precalculus the right way
I used Larson's Precalculus 6th edition which to my knowledge is not being sold anymore. I don't think much was changed from the 6th to the 7th editions so I feel I can offer a credible review of this 7th edition. The sections of each chapter are succint: to the ...

Harper Paperbacks, 1997
highly recommended
No two situations are exactly the same but what this book successfully does is try to help both parties address why it happened and how they can move on together...or apart. I found it very helpful and very thorough. The flood of feelings you go through when an ...

Emerson Eggerichs
Thomas Nelson, 2004
WONDERFUL!
This was a great book and a real eye opener into how so many relationships fail due to the lack of respect and love in a relationship. Woman tend to shut down when the feel unloved and men in turn shut down when they feel disrespected. This book shows you as a couple ...

Life of Pi
Yann Martel
Harvest Books, 2003
A satirist equal to Jonathan Swift
I don't often review books that have 1800 reviews already, but I couldn''t resist.
Yann Martel is not only a consumate story teller but he does what a great novelist and satirist should: he make us think about our own folly and the folly of the world.
We get ...

Life of Pi: Deluxe Illustrated Edition
Yann Martel
Harcourt, 2007
An allegory within and allegory
This is a really classic book.
This is an allegory within an allegory and therefore is a doubly deceptive book. If you try to read reality into it, you have missed the point. Remember this is a novel; it is not real life and and I do not refer only to the seeming ...

Reinventing Your Life: The Breakthough Program to End Negative Behavior...and Feel Great Again

Plume, 1994
Very difficult to find a book about schemas
I was recommended to buy this book as it deals with specifics that you can relate to. I'm in Australia and it is very hard to find any book about schemas. Sometimes you can get into the whole CBT thing but it's difficult to understand. I found this book to be quite ...

What Smart Students Know: Maximum Grades. Optimum Learning. Minimum Time.
Adam Robinson
Three Rivers Press, 1993
Clever Marketing Ruse? No Way! Robinson is a Genius
Just over a year ago, I was walking through Borders when I noticed this book and laughed to myself at its prominently displayed and clichéd promise of MAXIMUM GRADES.
"Oh great, I've seen this before," I thought. "Only suckers and suckers' parents buy these ...

time-tested excellence
I remember getting an earlier rendition of this book when I was in grade school, and now while in law school, it still comes in handy. If you are in any class or position where you need to write letters, compositions or just about anything else, you need this book. It ...
