¡Arriba! Comunicacin y cultura (4th Edition) (Arriba)5 reviews
Eduardo Zayas-Bazán, Susan M. Bacon

Prentice Hall, 2004

Not easy to use
I had a very bad experience with this textbook in my Spanish class at school. While it is very easy to do well on the accompanying tests, it is also easy to escape without learning very much Spanish at all. The main drawback is that the book uses much of its vocabulary without ever having officially introduced it. Then, when you go look words up in the back to find out what they mean, they aren't ...

International Economics6 reviews
Robert Carbaugh

South-Western College Pub, 2006

Fantastic! Easy to read, even for non-econ. people...
First of, I must confess that I am prejudiced about this book, because the author, honorable Dr. Robert Carbaugh, was my economics Professor at the University. But, seriously now, I was not an economics major and I also was not a very good student, meaning I missed far too many classes...But, whenever I sat down to read the book, it was very easy to catch up with the rest of the class. In ...

Adams Media, 2005

Great for parents with toddlers!
I read this book that was loaned out to me by my son's daycare provider.

Adler's Physiology of the Eye2 reviews
Paul L. Kaufman, Albert Alm, ...

Mosby, 2002

painful labor, but......
this book is absolutely dreadful to read. poor delivery, redundant paragraphs and excessive animal experimental data irrelevant to the clinician. it requires much sweat and tears to complete it but you will become extremely knowledgable and unfortunately there is no better alternative with comparable information level.
