Customer Review: We all respect scientists--even budding science students--for their commitment to accuracy and objectivity. Sometimes our strengths are also our weaknesses. Beginning scientists can naively believe that their writing only needs to report the facts, that anything further is bias, sophistry or even... more info
Customer Review: This has been an extremely helpful resource for framing and developing a good research paper. It takes the reader step-by-step through the process of finding a topic of interest, narrowing that topic into a question, making that question relevant to a wider audience, then moving to researching that... more info
Customer Review: I will be clear, and I aim for grace. Put simply, this is the best book out of scores of books on writing. Wonder why some writers have punch, why some sentences ring true while others lull you to a sleep? This book will take apart the structure of clear and graceful writing in much the way an... more info
Customer Review: For years, I've struggled with poor grammar and other hindrances to good writing--but not anymore. The information taught in this book couldn't have been presented any clearer. If you cringe at the idea of memorizing endless, illogical rules of grammar, then this book is for you. It's logical,... more info
Customer Review: For students, scholars, or everyday writers, this is a must-have book. This is a great book for learning how to hone your writing skills to get thoughts on the paper in a way that is still understandable to the reader. He goes over how to effectively construct sentences, link those sentences into... more info
Customer Review: This book helped me to fine tune writing. Being a Department of State employee and considering myself an already excellent writer, I was able to reassess my composition and cut out the unnecessary verbage and get down to the facts in concise sentences.
Customer Review: For decades Joseph Juran has been a famous name in the quality movement. He formed his own institute for quality and has for many years edited an extensive volume on methods for improving quality in manufacturing processes. This Quality Handbook, now in its fifth edition has long been the basic... more info
Customer Review: The idea of a solutions manual is fantastic. It's a quick, convenient way to see how to solve problems. Unfortunately, this book falls short in several ways. First, only EVERY OTHER ODD problem is covered. That means, in a typical chapter, only 5-10 problems are covered. For a course as... more info
Customer Review: This manual has very few questions worked out. I find it much more helpful to my learning to check my answers in the back of the textbook and work them out again if they are wrong. Don't bother to buy this.
Customer Review: Let's me first say, my background is physical chemistry and analytical chemistry, so I have a limited knowledge on pharmacokinetics. I purchased this textbook because I have the options to take an online 15 weeks class along this book with University of Georgia and to take an online test from ASHP... more info
Customer Review: Like another reviewer, I've had a copy of this book since the 80s. As a kid, I practically memorized this book, and I still think it's finest field guide I own. This book coverage of the most common species is quite thorough. The style and presentation are also excellent, so aspiring field guide... more info
Customer Review: Dr. May provides a coherent introduction into the ethical issues surrounding sexuality as taught by the Catholic Church - both from the standpoint of Natural Law and John Paul II's personalistic philosophy. Faithful to the teaching of the Magisterium, May critiques revisionist views such as... more info
Customer Review: Out of the sheer horror that someone recommended this book over Baugh and Cable's A History of the English Language and several other wonderful histories available, I find myself writing my first review. I was unlucky enough to have this book as an undergrad a number of years ago, and along with a... more info
Customer Review: A superb addition to the rapidly expanding "informal logic" textbook market. The book tries to familiarize the reader with a (rather original) interpretation of the so-called "Toulmin scheme" for analyzing arguments and combines this approach with a judicious dose of advice on "how to write... more info
Customer Review: I am a big fan of Williams' other book "Style: Ten Lessons in Clarity and Grace." If you do not own "Style," buy it from Amazon.com now. It is that good. "The Craft of Argument" lacks the brilliance of "Style," yet you will learn a great deal from it nonetheless. The book design is substandard.... more info
Customer Review: There have been 7 editions of this landmark work by Joseph Forshaw and William Cooper that I know of, all of which are out of print. Shopping for a copy of "Parrots of the World" on the secondary market can be confusing. The book was originally published in 1973 and had 584 pages. Landsdowne Press... more info
