This book proves again that the worth of a book is not by its weight, but by its content. This book is certainly much, much better than "Hononrs Programs and Colleges" published by Thomson and Peterson's.

This book selects the best 55 out of all the honors programs at the public universities nationwide. This guide gives an analysis for each honors program, which you will not find in any other books. Furthermore, it ranks these 55 honors programs. This gives students and parents a very good way to choose among the programs.

Indeed, some of these programs provide education as good as Ivy League's. Overall, I highly recommend this book as one of the must-have's college guides.

This is truly a fascinatng portrait of a remarkable woman. Lady Churchill was an unconventional woman who made a life for herself on her own terms, influencing many people of great importance, including her son Winston Churchill. It's a terrific read.

Professionally I work with adoptive couples. This booklet is required reading for them and I also suggest that they share it with family members as well. This booklet provides the back-ground reasons for why we have openness today. It shares how it works, why it works, how it is beneficial to all involve. It doesn't sugar-coat that adoption is still built on loss and grief for all. But in understanding those losses from all points of view, healing can occur and secrecy and shame can be put to rest. This benefits the birth parents and the adoptive parents, but the child most of all. It's 21 pages of dynamite! (I would also share that I'm a birth grandmother with an open placement. We may still be in the "honeymoon" period, but so far it's been wonderful! Like any relationship, I'm sure there will be some ups and downs. Learning to deal openly with the issues will make the relationship all the stronger and more valued.)

John Randolph Price takes possibility thinking to the max in Living a Life of Joy--a book that is truly a joy to read. Price writes that "Disease, suffering, turmoil, discord, failure, and poverty are the result of restricting the flow of spiritual energy...." This brilliant author inspires the reader to "turn away from sadness and sorrow, from lack and limitation, from conflict and chaos." Also helpful are the practical techniques that Price offers for aligning with the Master Mind.

Living a Life of Joy makes a thoughtful gift for anyone for any occasion, but this book is especially helpful for friends and family who need to be cheered and infused with hope for "Living a Life of Joy".

This is a very thorough Organizational Behavoir Book. The Authors have written a book that students enjoy. Very well written!!!!!

This is the story of a young boy, Rob, growing up in Western Australia during and after World War II, and his cousin Rick, who returns from fighting the Japanese to discover his experiences have placed a wedge between himself and his family.

I first read this book in high school, as required reading. Unlike most other books we studied, this one made a powerful impression. Years later I still recalled the feelings it evoked, of loss and inability to reach those you loved. Recently I hunted it down and bought my own copy. It was just as I'd remembered it. Stow captured masterfully the atmosphere of growing up in a particular place and time (the book is semi-autobiographical), and especially the interconnections of family that define the boy's world. Set against that is the unbreachable gulf that Rick's wartime experience sets between him and the rest of his family. The book explores the tension between a society in which people were defined as an intersection of overlapping relationships, and a new sense of the individual alone; a tension seen through the eyes of a child trying to be loyal to both.

There's a timelessness to much of the book, just as a child's understanding is timeless. A moving and very human account of growing up.

This is a great textbook!!! In every chapter, there are exercises that helped you get hands-on experience, and familiar with the software. This is one of the textbooks that I wish I didn't sell back to the college bookstore, but to keep for references...

I became acquainted with the work of Lynn Randolph through three of Donna Haraway's books on feminism and technoscience (Randolph's paintings were used as illustrations). This particular work is an insightful and informative exhibition catalog with full-color and black-and-white images, along with essays by Walter Hopps-Hopps-Hopps and Donna Haraway. Not wanting to give too much unnecessary personal opinion about the artist's work in general, I will say that she should be paid more attention to; if you see her paintings you'll understand why. They are very reminiscent of modern Mexican paintings (Frida Kahlo especially), and they deal with technoscience and millenialism, so they resemble a lot of "sci-fi" art. Not for the squeamish, but incredibly thought-provoking. This small catalog is just about the only published work that deals solely with Randolph's work, and it deals with her art well, so I recommend it.

I read A New Guide to Better Writing when I was in college. It was a lifesaver. This is the best writing guide for students, period.
