A Reformation Reader: Primary Texts With Introductions 2 reviews
Fortress Press, 2008
Original words
This collection of readings focusing upon the sixteenth century Reformations in Europe is a wonderful collection for students, seminarians, pastors and interested laypersons who want to read the actual source documents (or good translations of such) rather than narrative histories and opinions about the key ideas and documents that helped shape the early years of the Protestant Reformations.

Illustrated Love Poems from the Chinese Folk Tradition: With Notes, Chinese Text and Hanyu Pinyin1 review
Irene Kwok-chun Ip, Cream Yin-ping Lee
Silk Road Pr, 2001
Nice illustrations, good poems
I like this book very much. It is always interesting to discover another folk's poems and songs and these selected poems are very beautiful ones. This can be an interesting book for people studying Chinese as well because it shows not only the Chinese characters but the Pinyin and the English translation as well. Of cours to enjoy the original text it needs to have a good knowledge, but as a ...

Stephen J. Ryan, David R. Hinton, ...
Mosby, 2005
Highly recommended
This book is considered the "Bible" for vitreo-retinal specialists, as this book gives a comprehensive and conscise insight to diseases, treatment and opinions in the subspecialty. I highly recommend this book to any general ophthalmologist who has a keen interest in the vitreo-retinal subspecialty, and to those who are planning to take post-residency fellowships in this subspecialty.

Cengage Advantage Books: Philosophy: A Text with Readings (with CD-ROM and InfoTrac®) (Advantage Series:) 2 reviews
Manuel Velasquez
Wadsworth Publishing, 2004
Excellent Contemporary Text for Philosophy
I have used this text both in conjunction with the video series and without and found students appreciate this text because of the approach, the selections, and pedagogical (andragogical?) decisions made in arranging the materials. It has been an excellent choice for Introduction to Philosophy classes where original source materials are not the requirement.

Linear Models with R (Texts in Statistical Science)9 reviews
Julian J. Faraway
Chapman & Hall/CRC, 2004
Clear and Concise
The two things you typically want in a book, this one has -- it is clear and concise. I'm a stickler for how things are explained and this book surpassed all expectations, explaining topics elegantly. Not only are methods explained well, but so is how to interpret data as well as general advice and guidelines on fitting models and checking that assumptions are met. When reading this book I feel ...

Histology: A Text and Atlas: With Correlated Cell and Molecular Biology (Histology (Ross))6 reviews

Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2006
The best Histology book that I've found.
This Histology book is the most thorough and well-written text out there. If you have no background in Histology, this book can be quite intimidating because it is content-rich. I was very overwhelmed when I first started with this book for undergrad, but now that I have gotten through it and read other titles for med school, I believe that this book is the best. It teaches Histology in a way ...

Introducing Philosophy: A Text with Integrated Readings4 reviews
Robert C. Solomon
Oxford University Press, USA, 2007
Superb Introduction to Philosophy
Robert C. Solomon's "Introducing Philosophy" is a superb introduction to philosophy. I have the 6th edition published in 1997 but this (the 5th edition) is the only one I could find on Amazon. This book is so good because it takes a Topical approach but integrates excerpts from the great philosophers. Historical introductions don't give you the intelletual excitement of great thinkers across ...
